SECTION C – Description / Specifications / Statement of Work

Project: LIBO – Visitor Center Retuckpointing Repairs

Location: Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial Visitor Center 3027 E. South Street Lincoln City, IN 47552

Background: The HS-01 Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial (LIBO) Visitor Center was constructed during the years 1941-43. The original structure was built using limestone for the foundation and exterior. In 1966, offices, restrooms, an auditorium, and a museum addition were added to the west (rear) side of the original structure. The addition was constructed using sandstone for the walls. Much of the stone and mortar masonry in the structure is original and has suffered cracking and spalling from severe weather and over 75 years of continuous use. The primary tuck point repairs will be to the exterior sandstone addition, with about 1/3 of the total repairs to be completed on the interior walls and the limestone finishes.

Scope of Work: The project document specifying the scope, specifications and details of the work to be performed in its entirety is listed in Section J of this solicitation and is included as Attachment 1 - LIBO Statement of Work, Visitor Center Retuckpointing Repairs. The following is a general overview only.

Overview: The Contractor is to furnish all qualified labor, supervision, equipment, tools, supplies, materials, and vehicles, along with other items and services necessary to perform the work as set forth in Attachment 1, to the Government’s satisfaction. Generally, remove all loose and hairline cracked mortar and masonry joints and repoint with historically accurate mortar mixture, and remove, or subdue if unable to completely remove, the stone block staining to a more visually attractive state.

1. Removing loose and damaged exterior mortar joints and repointing the limestone and sandstone block mortar joints with new mortar on approximately 1,600 square feet of the interior and exterior of the historic building. See Appendix 1 “Photos” which are located in Attachment 1 for examples of required repairs.

2. Low pressure or hand cleaning approximately 100 SF of interior and exterior blocks with stains.

Chemicals may be used for the removal of stains, but the product will be non-toxic and pre-approved by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) or Contracting Officer (CO) prior to its use. The stain removal areas will be sections of walls and it is expected the contractor will blend the cleaned areas into the untouched areas. See Appendix 1 “Photos” which are located in Attachment 1 for examples of required repairs.

52.222-36 Equal Opportunity for Workers with Disabilities (Jul 2014)

(a) Equal opportunity clause. The Contractor shall abide by the requirements of the equal opportunity clause at 41 CFR 60-741.5(a), as of March 24, 2014. This clause prohibits discrimination against qualified individuals on the basis of disability, and requires affirmative action by the Contractor to employ and advance in employment qualified individuals with disabilities.

(b) Subcontracts. The Contractor shall include the terms of this clause in every subcontract or purchase order in excess of $15,000 unless exempted by rules, regulations, or orders of the Secretary, so that such provisions will be binding upon each subcontractor or vendor. The Contractor shall act as specified by the Director, Office of Federal

RFQ 140P6219Q0020 LIBO – Visitor Center Repointing Page 19 of 33

Contract Compliance Programs of the U.S. Department of Labor, to enforce the terms, including action for noncompliance. Such necessary changes in language may be made as shall be appropriate to identify properly the parties and their undertakings.

(End of clause)

52.225-9 Buy American – Construction Materials (May 2014)

(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 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—

(3) 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

(4) 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.

RFQ 140P6219Q0020 LIBO – Visitor Center Repointing Page 20 of 33

“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 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:

NONE

[Contracting Officer to list applicable excepted materials or indicate “none”]

(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

RFQ 140P6219Q0020 LIBO – Visitor Center Repointing Page 21 of 33 determination before contract award. If the Contractor 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)

(1) Payment Bond, or

(2) Irrevocable Letter of Credit

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

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

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

RFQ 140P6219Q0020 LIBO – Visitor Center Repointing Page 22 of 33

(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.
