• At this meeting, the Contractor shall provide the following deliverables 5 calendar days prior to the Project Kickoff Meeting for COR review:

o Project Schedule: The Contractor’s Project Schedule shall identify major phases of work, key milestones, review sessions, deliverables, and review times required from the NIST staff. Reference 3.1.2.

o Certification paperwork for ISO 17025 accreditation in energy meter calibration.

o Certification paperwork on Contractor personnel performing the calibration that they have received appropriate training and are fully qualified to perform the services within this scope. Contractor shall provide certificate for their technicians by Associated Air Balance Council (AABC) or the National Environmental Balancing Bureau (NEBB) specialize in testing, adjusting, and balancing HVAC systems, including water balancing.

o Example of the certification label to be affixed to the various meters once calibration has been successfully completed

• The COR’s approval for calibration equipment and personnel certification shall be provided within 3 business days after the Project Kickoff Meeting.

• The Contractor shall attend any and all project meetings that may be scheduled after the Project Kickoff Meeting to discuss contract performance or items.

• The Contractor is responsible for taking minutes of the Kickoff meeting. The minutes are to be electronically delivered to the attendees within 2 days after the in-person Kickoff meeting.

• The Contractor shall provide a Final Report of the meter calibrations. Reference 3.5.1.

3.2. Calibration

3.2.1 Calibration Procedures

The Contractor shall provide documentation of their calibration procedures for the COR’s approval prior to any work being performed. The calibration procedural documentation shall be submitted no more than 5 calendar days after the Project Kickoff Meeting date. No calibrations shall be performed prior to receipt of the COR’s approval.

• The Contractor shall provide calibration procedures for:

o ABB/Hart welled temperature meters, o ABB swirl meters, o Vortex flow meters, o GE ultrasonic flow meters (measuring in BTU), and o FCI compressed air meters

3.2.2. Site Survey

• To be conducted by the Contractor of the meters listed in Attachment 1 to confirm their existence and the accuracy of Attachment 1’s information.

• Site Survey Report: Results of the Site Survey shall be presented to the COR during an in-person meeting within 15 calendar days of the contract’s award.

3.2.3. Calibration

• Shall be performed based on the procedures provided by the Contractor and approved by the

• Shall be completed withing 100 days of the contract’s award.

3.2.4 Calibration of field meters

NIST will check the location of each meter listed in Attachment 1 prior to performance of the services herein for the presence of hazardous materials (i.e., asbestos containing material (ACM) such as pipe insulation). If the location is found to contain ACM, NIST will have the particular work area abated so that is it completely / certifiably free of ACM. This will be accomplished in advance of the Contractor’ planned timeline for performing the calibration work.

PAGE 9 OF 34 1333ND25QNB190390

The Contractor shall:

o Perform calibration services on temperature and flow meters listed in Attachment 1.

o Work with the COR and the OFPM building operations personnel to perform calibration services without interrupting the CUP’s operations.

NIST LOCAL-53 CONTRACT PERFORMANCE DURING CHANGES IN NIST OPERATING STATUS

All contractors performing work on active contracts at the U.S. Department of Commerce(DOC), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) campuses and/or working in NIST workspaces should go to the www.nist.gov website and under the "About NIST" tab click on "Visit". This site includes information about campus access and security information; identification requirements; parking information and more.

Contractor personnel are required to check the appropriate campus operating status and personnel requirements at https://www.nist.gov/campus-status daily prior to arriving on site. All personnel must adhere to the requirements set forth in the operating status.

Unless otherwise stated in the contract terms and conditions, normal days of business operation are Monday through Friday, excluding Federal Holidays. However, throughout the contract period of performance, there may be circumstances beyond the control of NIST that will impact normal days of business operation such as inclement weather, power outages, etc. In circumstances such as these, the Contractor must call the appropriate NIST campus status line to verify the operating status:

Gaithersburg Campus Operating Status Line:

(301) 975-8000

(800) 437-4385 x8000 (toll free)

Boulder Campus Operating Status Line:

(303) 497-4000

(303) 497-3000 option 2

In the event of a lapse in appropriation, access to Government facilities and resources, including equipment and systems will be limited to excepted personnel for both Federal employees and contractor personnel. If performance of the contract is onsite and/or requires Government interaction, unless the contractor has been, or is notified that it is required to work under an excepted status, the contractor must stop work. The work stoppage shall remain in effect until the lapse is resolved and notification is provided via the NIST website at www.nist.gov (banner on front page) and/or the NIST operating status line(s). Additionally, contractors are encouraged to monitor public broadcasts or the Office of Personnel Management's website at www.opm.gov for the Federal Government operating status.

NIST will provide notification to all contractors that are determined to have excepted status.

All excepted contractors are required to continue performance and communicate with the appointed Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) for further guidance, or NIST Contracting Officer if a COR is not appointed.

Contractors with active supply or service contracts that are fully funded at the time of contract award and do not require access to Government facilities, resources, or active administration by Government personnel in a manner that would not cause the Government to incur additional obligations during the lapse in appropriation may continue performance.

Please note that in all circumstances that impact operations on the NIST campuses, contractors are expected to follow all direction and guidance provided by NIST authorities.
