TECHNICAL STATEMENT OF WORK

PROJECT TITLE:

Herndon Warehouse Disassemble and Relocating Shelving and Fencing

U. S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Warehouse

302 Victory Dr, Herndon, VA 20171

FMMS# 4942728

Scope and Objective The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has a requirement for the performance of construction services in accordance with the requirements set forth in this Technical Statement of Work and associated plan drawings.

The Contractor shall provide all supervision, labor, materials, equipment and all other items necessary for the completion of the construction services as described below in this Technical Statement of Work and in accordance with all associated plan drawings.

The Contractor shall field verify all measurements and materials needed.

Field Verify – Read Carefully – It is the contractor’s responsibility to base their bid on the existing conditions of the warehouse.

Upon the site visit the potential bidder shall take all means necessary to inspect the current area and base their bid on what construction measures will be necessary to complete the project. This includes verifying all actual measurements and material quantification. It is highly recommended that the contractor brings a ladder to the site visit for means of inspecting all shelving. The awarded contractor shall be required to perform all related overhead work. The contractor’s official submission of the proposal to perform the work is the indication that the contractor has field verified the area and is bidding on all aspects of the project based on the current conditions of the building.

General Conditions

Technical Construction Requirements:

Disassemble Shelving

Disassemble approximately 180 metal shelving units. This refers to approximately 20 rows with 9 full shelving units per row.

Contractor shall field verify for exact numbers, the amount of shelving units needing disassembled and moved may be different from the number given here based on the drawing and site conditions. The Contracting Officer Representative has made every honest attempt to capture the proper number of shelving units, but it is the Contractors responsibility to field verify.

Neatly stack all shelving in a location within the warehouse, verify with COR of exact location. (location determined at this time will be within the main fenced area near the front of the warehouse but verify before neatly stacking as this may change.) The shelving will be stacked onsite at the warehouse where the shelving will be disassembled.

Shelving shall be disassembled in a way so the USGS can reuse the shelving later. The shelving shall not be disassembled in a way that will cut or destroy the structural integrity.

Disassemble Chain Link Fence and Neatly Stack

Disassemble chain link fence (cage) in the back-left side of warehouse where the new wall will later intersect the fence on the drawings. Disassemble (all fencing) in that area. Stack the fencing in the location on site that the COR determines.

Remove Anchors in the Concrete Floor All anchors, bolts, tap cons, and fastening devices shall be removed from the concrete floor where the shelving and fencing may be bolted to the floor. If the anchors cannot be removed the anchor or fastening devices shall be grinded level with the concrete, to not have any tripping hazards.

Exclusions

There will be no physical construction on this task order. The wall to be built on the drawing will not be on this task order.

Safety The Contractor shall follow all OSHA rules and laws. The use of PPE such as fall arrest may be needed. The contractor shall make every attempt to not disturb the fire coating insulation on the vertical support columns in the warehouse located near some of the shelving units. If it is likely the insulation will be disturbed the Contractor must wear proper PPE such as respirators during the time of disturbing the insulation, until the shelving unit is safely taken down and relocated.

Covid-19

All personnel must always wear a face mask while inside the USGS and the Warehouse. All personnel working on site will need to be added for Covid-19 tracking. The names and telephone numbers of each individual working will need to be provided to the COR at least 3 days in advance.

Project Construction Schedule Within (5) business days after the award date of the contract, the Contractor shall submit in writing to the Contracting Officer’s Representatives (COR) a schedule of construction for the entire project. The schedule shall indicate the exact dates the Contractor will be on site. The schedule shall indicate the dates major components of the work will be accomplished. When preparing the schedule, The Contractor shall notify the COR immediately if any anticipated on-site date is expected to change from the original schedule. The Contractor shall be responsible for determining the labor staffing levels needed to complete the project by the established delivery date. The contractor shall be responsible for all labor necessary to complete the work during normal working hours. The contractor shall notify the COR of when equipment such as lifts will be delivered to the warehouse. The completion date for this task order is December 29th. All work must be completed before the 29th of December 2020.

Hours of Work The Contractor shall perform the work during normal business hours. Normal business hours are from &7:00AM to 3:30P M-F.

Contractor Staffing/Materials/Tools/Equipment The Contractor shall be responsible for determining the labor staffing levels (crew size, etc.) required to complete all phases of the project by the established completion dates as per submitted project schedule, taking into consideration the required completion date established by the Government and set forth in the contract.

The Contractor shall be the Prime Contractor in all cases. The Prime Contractor shall bear complete responsibility of the work of subcontractors, and shall supervise, direct, and control the work of the Subcontractors all times. The Prime Contractor is responsible for ensuring that all tools and equipment are acquired and delivered prior to the date of disassembling. The USGS will not supply any tools or machinery such as forklifts, scissor lifts, ladders, scaffolding, trucks, carts, hand tools, etc. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to acquire whatever is necessary to complete the work.

Progress Inspections During Contractor performance of the contracted work, the COR will perform on-site progress inspections of the work. These inspections will occur at any time during the course of the contract, at the discretion of the COR. Progress inspections will be performed by the COR to determine if the Contractor is making reasonable progress toward completing the work, in order to meet the scheduled delivery date as set forth by the contract and to ensure that the Contractor is performing the work in accordance with the technical requirements.

Inadvertent Building Evacuations In the event the Powell Federal Building Fire Alarm System annunciates during the course of this contract, the USGS Facilities Operations & Maintenance Section will determine the cause of the evacuation. If it is determined that the fire alarm system enunciated due to triggering from a cause(s) within the area of the work site proper, the Contractor will be so notified by the COR.

The Contractor shall be responsible for reimbursement of fees incurred by the government including, but not limited to, charges by Fairfax County Fire Department for false alarm, and all charges related to the costs of building evacuation and resetting of the alarm system.

Smoking Policy No smoking on USGS grounds including inside the warehouse. Smoking outside of the warehouse will need to be 25 feet or more from the door.

Dust Protection and Worksite Cleanliness Since work will be performed during business hours, the Contractor shall ensure that the site is thoroughly cleaned and swept on a regular basis periodically throughout each day while the work is in progress.

Storage of Tools and Materials The Contractor may store materials and tools on the job site proper. There are no other areas in the building in which the Contractor can store materials and tools.

Access to Main Building Contractor should not need access to the main building to complete this task order.

Final Inspection Upon notification by the Contractor to the COR that the work site (or project phase) is ready for final inspection, the COR will perform final inspection, and if necessary, will develop an itemized punch-list of minor deficiencies discovered during final inspection. The COR will schedule Contractor performance of correction for the correction of the punch-list items.

Upon completion of the contracted work, the Contractor shall notify the COR in writing. The COR will schedule an inspection of the work site and will perform the inspection at the site to determine if all work performed by the Contractor meets the requirements of the contract. The Contractor may be present at the site during the final inspection by the COR. The Government will determine the date of acceptance of the work after the final inspection has been performed.

*NOTE*:

Any changes affecting the scope of work, drawings or specifications shall be granted and approved by the Contracting Officer only. Furthermore, any and all changes shall be approved in writing from the Contracting Officer prior to any change.

Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.

Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).

The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of ""identifiers"" that indicate whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local), a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate (weighted union average rate).

Union Rate Identifiers

A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than ""SU"" or ""UAVG"" denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:

PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union which prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1, 2014.

Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing this classification and rate.

Survey Rate Identifiers

Classifications listed under the ""SU"" identifier indicate that no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As this weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a new survey is conducted.

Union Average Rate Identifiers

Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate that no single majority rate prevailed for those classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010 08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is based.

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be:

* an existing published wage determination

* a survey underlying a wage determination

* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter

* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling

On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.)

and 3.) should be followed.

With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:

Branch of Construction Wage Determinations Wage and Hour Division U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party (those affected by the action) can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to:

Wage and Hour Administrator U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
