Section C – Description / Specifications / SOW

This is a new facility modernization services requirement.

The SOW for the U.S. Army Capability Development Command (DEVCOM) Armaments Center (AC) facility modernization services IDIQ provides the scope of work for rapid response for remediation of real property (e.g., Maintenance / repair / minor construction situations relating, but not limited to, the architectural, civil, mechanical, plumbing, fire suppression including ultra high-speed deluge, structural, electrical, HVAC, instrumentation, security and safety areas of Government facilities). FFP task orders for facility modernization will be placed against the contract. The successful offeror shall plan and execute work with their staff and subcontracted resources to work continuously to complete project once it begins. Sequencing of multiple trades and/or subcontractors will be responsibility of prime contractor.

Subsequent awards of other task orders on this contract shall be planned and executed without negatively affecting previously awarded projects.

a. Construction Work location: Facilities located at U.S. Army Garrison Picatinny Arsenal in Dover, NJ and Benet Labs in Watervliet, NY

b. Primary Scope of Contract: Facility Modernization Services

c. Magnitude of Construction: Task orders issued under this IDIQ are expected to be between

d. Construction Completion: Defined at task order level.

e. Prime Contractor Home Office Location shall be in one of the following states:

• New Jersey

• Pennsylvania

• New York

• Connecticut

OFF RAMP

Each Contractor that receives an IDIQ award is expected to submit a proposal in response to at least one Task Order Request Notice (TORN) per year in which the Contractor has a reasonable chance for award and will be able to successfully meet the terms of the TORN. A price determined fair and reasonable, but not awarded a Task Order, will meet the annual expectation of proposing to at least one TORN per year.

If Contractor does not meet the annual expectation to compete in at least one TORN and/or fails to meet the standards of performance, deliverables, or compliances, it is the Government’s intent to “off-ramp” the Contractor by:

a. Implementing a termination for convenience (if applicable and if such action is in the best interest of the Government); or

b. Implementing a termination for default, if applicable.

ON RAMP

The Government reserves the right to announce a new competition (on-ramping) for the purpose of adding additional Contractors to the multiple award IDIQ contract holders. On-ramping procedures may be implemented at any time over the life of the contract by reopening the competition and utilizing the same basis of award established in the original RFP. Should additional support be required, the Contracting Officer will publicize a notice in SAM.gov, issue an RFP amendment, and complete evaluation in the same manner as the initial RFP. Contracts awarded utilizing the on-ramping procedures will include the same terms and conditions as those in the initially awarded contracts. The start date of the period of performance will be adjusted to the award date of any subsequent contract awarded, the end date will not be adjusted. The overall ceiling of the basic contract will not be revised as a result of on-ramping.

C.3.3. The Contractor shall ensure that all work provided meets the statement of work for each task order, and any special specifications included with the individual task order or included in any applicable documents (ex. building codes, laws, regulations, army documents). Depending on the complexity of the project, the Government will provide a detailed statement of work to the Contractor with the task(s) to be accomplished. The detail provided will vary from project to project. The Contractor shall use the information provided by the Government in the Task Order Request Notice (TORN) and submit a complete proposal in accordance with the instructions in the TORN and RFIs. For task orders where there are no drawings provided by the Government, the Contractor shall provide sketches to clearly show what work is included with their proposal. The Contractor shall complete all work and services under this agreement in accordance with schedules established in each task order. Submittal dates will be included in each TORN. These dates identify when submittals are due to the issuing office and other POCs identified in the task order. Types and numbers of submittals and dates / places for review meetings shall be established by each task order. Contractors shall utilize lessons learned and experience on prior tasks throughout the contract to reduce design / construction costs and schedules for similar / identical projects.

Example: A series of administrative buildings being renovated one at a time each year. The buildings are the same size, floorplan, and finishes but mirror image of each other. Subsequent renovations after the first in the series should have reduced design costs and schedule. The Government anticipates that costs related to site conditions and risk for construction will be reduced after first building in the series.

C.3.4. Task Orders shall be performed at facilities on US Army Garrison Picatinny Arsenal located in Dover, NJ and Benet Labs located in Watervliet Arsenal, Watervliet, NY.

C.3.4.1. Activities Included in Task Orders

Two types (one and two) of engineering / construction efforts may be specified under this contract as described below. The level of engineering/construction will be specified by the statement of work on the individual task orders.

(1) Type One: Requires no engineering effort and a minimal level of documentation (e.g., duct cleaning, signage, inspection, floor finishes and ceiling finishes, and minor repairs or small additions existing systems or utilities etc.). For cost effective purposes, multiple buildings may be included on one task order of same or like-type projects. It is not for use for repair/renewal projects better suited to Type 2 (See below).

(2) Type Two: Requires minimal engineering effort and a minor level of documentation to define the effort proposed for the repair/renewal action. For cost effective purposes, multiple buildings may be included on one task order of same or like-type projects. This effort makes maximum use of schedules, manufacturer’s data, sketches, formal specifications, drawings, etc. and is an extension of the design for the statement of work provided by the Government in the individual task orders, while at the same time providing ample details to carry out the repair/renewal projects (e.g., in-kind equipment replacement, equipment repair, replacement of components of existing equipment).

Extensions of design are items that are required to be developed by the contractor. The parameters for designing these items are site specific variables that the contractor must investigate during the construction process (e.g., fire alarm and fire suppression systems, prefabricated buildings, structural steel drawings, standing seam metal roof drawings, minor modification to HVAC, and coordination studies). All design documents provided by the contractor or designer of record will be signed and sealed or stamped in accordance with the applicable state regulations and contract terms.

C.3.5. Required Standard of Workmanship: Unless otherwise specifically provided in the contract, the quality of all services hereunder shall conform to the highest standards in the relevant profession, trade or field of endeavor.

Upon expiration or termination of this Contract, the terms of this Contract shall continue to apply to Task Orders awarded during the effective ordering period but, not yet completed and/or paid in full. The period of performance of the individual task orders issued before the expiration of the base contract shall remain effective until completion of the individual task order. The Performance Period of any task order shall not exceed 18 months beyond the expiration date of the Parent IDIQ.

C.3.7. Task Orders

C.3.7.1. All orders placed under this Contract will incorporate, by reference, all the clauses contained in the Base Contract. Each order shall be negotiated individually and will become a binding contract upon acceptance of an order signed by the Contracting Officer (bilateral).

C.3.7.2. Task Orders issued under this Contract will be Firm Fixed Price. Individual Task Orders may include Liquidated Damages. Performance and Payment Bonds will be required for the construction work under individual Task Orders if the Task Order amount exceeds $150,000. No work can proceed prior to receipt by the Government of properly executed Performance and Payment Bonds and issuance of a Notice to Proceed. Davis Bacon Act Wage Determinations will be issued with the TORN and resulting order and apply to all construction projects over $2,000.00. A Construction Wage Rates will be issued with each TORN and resulting order for annual or Bi-annual facility maintenance activities.

C3.7.3. CADD files shall be provided in the format required by the using agency for all design tasks completed, typically Microstation (DGN), but maybe AutoCADD (DWG) or other. If files are converted from one format to another all supporting files shall be included such that the end product is fully usable in the government CAD system(readable, editable, etc.) by the Government.

C.3.7.4. Each proposal shall be submitted with a sufficient breakdown in order to proceed with negotiations. All proposals should include Labor, Equipment, Materials, Profit and Overhead. Any cost element over $1,000 shall be broken down into elements under $1,000. This detail is also required for all subcontractor costs, to include design costs. Specific breakout for bond costs should be identified at prime and subcontractor levels. The contractor is responsible for all applicable clearances and or permits necessary to perform work at any location. All work shall be conducted in strict accordance with the clauses in the contract and all applicable Federal, State, and local laws, regulations, codes, or directives.

All task orders to be completed under this contract shall be performed in accordance with applicable provisions of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Safety and Health Requirements, Manual, EM 385-1-1

(https://www.usace.army.mil/Missions/Safety-and-Occupational-Health/Safety-and-Health- Requirements-Manual/ and the Architectural and Engineering Instruction (AEI), Design Criteria, unless other criteria is provided by the Contracting Officer.

C.3.7.5. For those TO’s that are Design/Build, the contractor shall be required to provide design elements that are certified by a Professional Engineer (PE) or licensed specialist having held a license and certifying designs for the last five (5) years.

Subsequent awards of other task orders on this contract shall be planned and executed without negatively affecting previously awarded projects. Example: Contractor A bids and wins a task order with agreed schedule. Two months afterwards contractor A wins another task order. Contractor A decides to pull staff off of first project in the middle of construction to get second project started. This process delays both projects and construction sites have no activity for days or weeks which is not “continuous” and will be considered unacceptable delays in construction. Corrective Action Report (CAR) will be requested by the COR or contracting officer in this case. Task orders shall be prioritized in chronological order by award date unless contracting officer issues direction to change the prioritization of a specific task order.

C.3.7.7. Priced Task Order: A priced task order is an order which upon issuance contains agreed upon prices and a period of performance. Priced orders must be signed by both parties (bilateral).
