WORK STATEMENT

I. GENERAL INFORMATION

This procurement is for the long term rental of an HVAC unit to provide Air Conditioning (AC) to building 1C at the US Geological Survey in Menlo Park, CA. The existing building AC unit has failed and is no longer cooling the building. A temporary unit was procured while OEI worked with facilities and GSA to evaluate the cost to install a new AC unit. After much discussion and estimates, it was determined that the project team could not justify the investment since Menlo Park campus is in the process of a multi-year move to Moffett Field in Mountain View, CA. In the meantime, it is crucial that a longer term AC rental unit be acquired with option years.

Having no AC unit in place will cause devices to over heat and fail. This could cause Menlo Park campus network issues, as well as the Trusted Internet Connection (TIC) to fail. The Menlo Park TIC is the DOI managed gateway that USGS and other DOI bureaus use. The TIC also provides access to the Internet. If the Menlo Park TIC fails, other DOI Bureaus will failover to a different gateway. However, the Menlo Park campus will experience network outages.

II. WORK REQUIREMENTS

Vendor must provide a 20 Ton AC rental unit. It will be attached to the building using the existing duct system and wired to the failed unit’s power supply. The cost should include pickup, delivery, installation, duct work, power cords, along with regular service as required. The rental unit will sit outside of the building gate towards the side of the fence that faces Middlefield Road.

• Stage/deliver equipment and material to jobsite.

• Set package unit trailer in designated location.

• Furnish and install temporary vinyl duct from unit to customer provided point of connections.

• Provide and install Type W UL Rated temporary power cable from temporary unit to customer provided power source.

• After completion of installation, contractor will start the system, and provide operator instructions.

During the rental period, contractor will provide routine maintenance inspections. Scheduling is based on contractor's service department discretion. Routine maintenance & inspection required every 30 days.

• If the unit should fail, a representative from the vendor must inspect the site within 4 hours to remedy the problem. Any problem with the AC unit must be repaired within 8 hours or a new replacement unit be delivered and installed within 24 hours.

• Contractor to provide Forklift for offloading and reloading of the package unit from transport trailer on to the ground.

• At the conclusion of the project, Contractor will remove all Contractor furnished equipment.

III. SUPPORTING INFORMATION

The AC unit should be delivered to the following address:

USGS 345 Middlefield Road, Attachment B Page 8 of 148

Building 1C Menlo Park, CA 94025.

There are no security requirements, as there will be a local poc who will escort the third party into the building and be on the premises during the delivery and installation of the AC unit.

(End of Clause)

52.225-9 Buy American-Construction Materials

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause--

“Commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) item”—

(1) Means any item of supply (including construction material) that is—

(i) A commercial item (as defined in paragraph (1) of the definition at FAR 2.101);

(ii) Sold in substantial quantities in the commercial marketplace; and

(iii) Offered to the Government, under a contract or subcontract at any tier, without modification, in the same form in which it is sold in the commercial marketplace; and

(2) Does not include bulk cargo, as defined in 46 U.S.C. 40102(4), such as agricultural products and petroleum products.

“Component” means an article, material, or supply incorporated directly into a construction material.

“Construction material” means an article, material, or supply brought to the construction site by the Contractor or a subcontractor for incorporation into the building or work. The term also includes an item

Attachment C Page 17 of 148 brought to the site preassembled from articles, materials, or supplies. However, emergency life safety systems, such as emergency lighting, fire alarm, and audio evacuation systems, that are discrete systems incorporated into a public building or work and that are produced as complete systems, are evaluated as a single and distinct construction material regardless of when or how the individual parts or components of those systems are delivered to the construction site. Materials purchased directly by the Government are supplies, not construction material.

“Cost of components” means--

(1) For components purchased by the Contractor, the acquisition cost, including transportation costs to the place of incorporation into the construction material (whether or not such costs are paid to a domestic firm), and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free entry certificate is issued); or

(2) For components manufactured by the Contractor, all costs associated with the manufacture of the component, including transportation costs as described in paragraph (1) of this definition, plus allocable overhead costs, but excluding profit. Cost of components does not include any costs associated with the manufacture of the construction material.

“Domestic construction material” means—

(1) An unmanufactured construction material mined or produced in the United States;

(2) A construction material manufactured in the United States, if—

(i) The cost of its components mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States exceeds 50 percent of the cost of all its components. Components of foreign origin of the same class or kind for which nonavailability determinations have been made are treated as domestic; or

(ii) The construction material is a COTS item.

“Foreign construction material” means a construction material other than a domestic construction material.

“United States” means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and outlying areas.

(b) Domestic preference.

(1) This clause implements the 41 U.S.C. chapter 83, Buy American, by providing a preference for domestic construction material. In accordance with 41 U.S.C. 1907, the component test of the Buy American statute is waived for construction material that is a COTS item. (See FAR 12.505(a)(2)). The Contractor shall use only domestic construction material in performing this contract, except as provided in paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this clause.

(2) This requirement does not apply to information technology that is a commercial item or to the construction materials or components listed by the Government as follows: ______ [Contracting Officer to list applicable excepted materials or indicate “none”]

Attachment C Page 18 of 148

(3) The Contracting Officer may add other foreign construction material to the list in paragraph (b)(2) of this clause if the Government determines that

(i) The cost of domestic construction material would be unreasonable. The cost of a particular domestic construction material subject to the requirements of the Buy American statute is unreasonable when the cost of such material exceeds the cost of foreign material by more than 6 percent;

(ii) The application of the restriction of the Buy American statute to a particular construction material would be impracticable or inconsistent with the public interest; or

(iii) The construction material is not mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities of a satisfactory quality.

(c) Request for determination of inapplicability of the Buy American statute.

(1)

(i) Any Contractor request to use foreign construction material in accordance with paragraph (b)(3) of this clause shall include adequate information for Government evaluation of the request, including--

(A) A description of the foreign and domestic construction materials;

(B) Unit of measure;

(C) Quantity;

(D) Price;

(E) Time of delivery or availability;

(F) Location of the construction project;

(G) Name and address of the proposed supplier; and

(H) A detailed justification of the reason for use of foreign construction materials cited in accordance with paragraph (b)(3) of this clause.

(ii) A request based on unreasonable cost shall include a reasonable survey of the market and a completed price comparison table in the format in paragraph (d) of this clause.

(iii) The price of construction material shall include all delivery costs to the construction site and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free certificate may be issued).

(iv) Any Contractor request for a determination submitted after contract award shall explain why the Contractor could not reasonably foresee the need for such determination and could not have requested the determination before contract award. If the Contractor

Attachment C Page 19 of 148 does not submit a satisfactory explanation, the Contracting Officer need not make a determination.

(2) If the Government determines after contract award that an exception to the Buy American statute applies and the Contracting Officer and the Contractor negotiate adequate consideration, the Contracting Officer will modify the contract to allow use of the foreign construction material.

However, when the basis for the exception is the unreasonable price of a domestic construction material, adequate consideration is not less than the differential established in paragraph (b)(3)(i) of this clause.

(3) Unless the Government determines that an exception to the Buy American statute applies, use of foreign construction material is noncompliant with the Buy American statute.

(d) Data. To permit evaluation of requests under paragraph (c) of this clause based on unreasonable cost, the Contractor shall include the following information and any applicable supporting data based on the survey of suppliers:

Foreign and Domestic Construction Materials Price Comparison

Construction material description Unit of measure Quantity Price (dollars) * Item 1 Foreign construction material Domestic construction material Item 2 Foreign construction material Domestic construction material

[List name, address, telephone number, and contact for suppliers surveyed. Attach copy of response; if oral, attach summary.]

[Include other applicable supporting information.]

[*Include all delivery costs to the construction site and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free entry certificate is issued).]

(End of Clause)

52.228-13 Alternative Payment Protections (Jul 2000)

(a) The Contractor shall submit one of the following payment protections:

Payment Bond

Irrevocable Letter of Credit (ILC)

(b) The amount of the payment protection shall be 100 percent of the contract price.

Attachment C Page 20 of 148

(c) The submission of the payment protection is required within 10 days of contract award.

(d) The payment protection shall provide protection for the full contract performance period plus a one-year period.

(e) Except for escrow agreements and payment bonds, which provide their own protection procedures, the Contracting Officer is authorized to access funds under the payment protection when it has been alleged in writing by a supplier of labor or material that a nonpayment has occurred, and to withhold such funds pending resolution by administrative or judicial proceedings or mutual agreement of the parties.

(f) When a tripartite escrow agreement is used, the Contractor shall utilize only suppliers of labor and material that signed the escrow agreement.

(End of Clause)
