Performance Work Statement Shasta Temperature Control Device

Water Barrier Curtains Deployment and Stowage

PART 1 GENERAL

1.01 BACKGROUND

A. The temperature control device (TCD) is a steel structure attached to the upstream face of Shasta Dam. The device encloses all five power penstock intakes and permits selective level withdrawal of reservoir water. High level withdrawal is controlled by the 250 ft-wide by 300 ft-high shutter structure. Three gated openings (Upper Gate, Middle Gate and Pressure Relief Gate) with trashracks allow selection of the reservoir withdrawal level.

The TCD has been in operation since December 1996.

B. The TCD at Shasta Lake is the means for cooler water to enter the Sacramento River and decrease the mortality rate of protected salmonid species. However, the long-term drought outlook in California threatens the cold water supply within Shasta Reservoir necessary for species survival. It was found that during drought conditions, the TCD leaks warmer water through smaller openings when the lake level is at lower elevations. To prevent warm water leakage, Reclamation purchased curtains to cover leak-prone areas. Previous curtain deployments were effective in allowing cooler water into the TCD. The curtains were last deployed in September 2020, then removed and stowed in December 2020. An inspection of the curtains at that time showed them to be in good condition.

1.02 SCOPE

A. In Summer or early Fall and when directed by the Government, provide diving services to deploy the TCD water curtains from their current rolled-up positions at approximate 956 ft elevation level and secure them below the Middle Gate trashracks for Units 1 through 5, at approximate 900 ft elevation level. Return the curtains to their rolled-up positions when the lake water temperature becomes cooler, typically by the following December.

Report any damage to curtains to the COR.

Gaps approximately 2-foot wide exist between main curtains and on the edges of the outer main curtains. These gaps are covered by narrow, full length supplemental curtains. Ten supplemental curtains must be deployed with the main curtains. The supplemental curtains are rolled-up and stowed on land at the West dam abutment.

Additional curtain fabric is available for chafing protection. Return supplemental curtains to their original position when stowing the curtains.

1.03 OBJECTIVE

A. The objective is to deploy the five main curtains and ten supplemental curtains to minimize leakage of warm water into the TCD shutter structure during transition from Pressure Relief Gate operation to Side Gate operation.

1.04 LOCATION

A. Work is located at Shasta Dam, approximately 13 miles north of Redding, California in Shasta County.

B. The TCD is located on the upstream face of Shasta Dam.

1.05 RESERVOIR CONDITIONS AND TCD OPERATIONS

A. The government will provide forecast Shasta Lake water surface elevations to the contractor no later than 2 weeks prior to curtain deployment.

B. All Middle Gates will be in the closed position.

C. All TCD gate operations will be performed by the Government. TCD gates will be operated to keep velocities in the work area to below 1 foot/sec during times of underwater work.

1.06 DOCUMENTATION

A. TCD general arrangement drawings are shown in Attachment 1 to this Performance Work Statement.

1.07 TYPE OF CONTRACT

A. The government intends to award a Firm Fixed Price Contract.

1.08 PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE

A. The period of performance shall be for one (1) Base Year and four (4) option years. The Period of Performance reads as follows:

Base Year June 1, 2021 through May 31, 2022 Option Year I June 1, 2022 through May 31, 2023 Option Year II June 1, 2023 through May 31, 2024 Option Year III June 1, 2024 through May 31, 2025 Option Year IV June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2026

PART 2 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

2.01 WORK TO BE PERFORMED

A. Deploy five main water barrier curtains from approximate elevation 956 to below elevation 900 on TCD Unit 1 through 5 barriers panels and Middle Gate trashracks. Deploy ten supplemental curtains to cover gaps between and around the main curtains. Deploy additional curtain fabric should main or supplemental curtains show signs of chafing.

B. Contractor shall provide all labor, tools, special tools, watercraft, hoisting equipment, safety equipment, video and photographic equipment and consumable materials required to complete the work.

C. Return all curtains to their original stowed positions when water temperatures allow and when directed by the

COR. Contractor will be given a minimum of one week notice.

D. The contractor shall provide video and photographic evidence to the COR that shows the curtains in the deployed condition at each Unit 1 through 5. Detailed evidence of the securing method to the bottom of the Middle Gate shall be included. Video and photographic evidence shall show the curtains in the rolled-up condition after the curtains are stowed.

E. The contractor shall provide a written narrative report of the condition of the curtains following each deployment and stowage operation. Include in the report damage to the curtains or any condition that affects or prevents re-deployment.

2.02 PRODUCTS

A. 3-inch cargo straps with metal ratchets are used to secure the main curtains in their stowed positions. If these straps are unusable or the ratchet mechanisms inoperable, replace them in kind.

B. Provide temporary securing devices when deploying and dispose them when stowing. Main curtains can be secured in their deployed condition with cotton or synthetic line. Supplemental curtains can be secured in the deployed position with zip ties.

2.03 FABRICATION

PART 4 STANDARDS FOR PERFORMANCE

4.00 QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVIELLANCE PLAN

This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) is intended to establish guidelines that shall be used to determine to what level of success/completion the Contractor has achieved in executing the work.

The Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan is one evaluation method the Government uses to determine whether the Contractor meets the standards of performance defined in the PWS.

During the course of the evaluation period, the COR will track the Contractor performance. At the end of the period, the COR will rate the Contractor’s performance in accordance with this QASP and report to the Contracting Officer.

The Contractor may provide a written self-assessment of its performance to the COR to be considered in its report to the Contracting Officer. The self-assessment shall be submitted no later than 5 working days after the end of the evaluation period. The self-assessment shall address both the strengths and weaknesses of the Contractor’s performance during the evaluation period. Where deficiencies had been noted in the Contractor’s self-assessment, a description of the actions taken during the evaluation period to correct such deficiencies should be included for the COR to consider.

The COR will consider all evaluations and any other pertinent information, including Contractor self-assessment when reporting to the Contracting Officer. The Contractor will be provided a draft copy of the COR’s evaluation of the Contractor’s performance and will be afforded the opportunity to identify factual errors. The COR report is not subject to negotiations and the COR will not engage in discussions with the Contractor. Any errors identified by the Contractor will be addressed by the COR in the final report. The Contractor will be provided a copy of the final report as submitted to the Contracting Officer.

The Contracting Officer will make the final determination in writing as to the percentage of work successfully completed and the resulting payment to be made. A copy of the determination will be provided to the Contractor no later than 30 calendar days after the end of the evaluation period. All Contracting Officer decisions regarding payment re-calculations are unilateral decisions made solely as the discretion of the Government.

Notwithstanding any other clause of this contract, payment re-calculations will be made within 30 days after receipt of an approved invoice.

DOI-AAAP-0050 Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System

(CPARS)

December 2015

a. FAR 42.1502 directs all Federal agencies to collect past performance information on contracts. The Department of the Interior (DOI) has implemented the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to comply with this regulation. One or more past performance evaluations will be conducted in order to record your contract performance as required by FAR 42.15.

b. The past performance evaluation process is a totally paperless process using CPARS. CPARS is a web-based system that allows for electronic processing of the performance evaluation report. Once the report is processed, it is available in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) for Government use in evaluating past performance as part of a source selection action.

c. We request that you furnish the Contracting Officer (CO) with the name, position title, phone number, and email address for each person designated to have access to your firm's past performance evaluation(s) for the contract no later than 30 days after award. Each person granted access will have the ability to provide comments in the Contractor portion of the report and state whether or not the Contractor agrees with the evaluation, before returning the report to the Assessing Official (AO). Information in the report must be protected as source selection sensitive information not releasable to the public.

d. When your Contractor Representative(s) are registered in CPARS, they will receive an automatically generated email with detailed login instructions. Further details, systems requirements, and training information for CPARS is available at https://www.cpars.gov/.

e. Within 60 days after the end of a performance period, the AO will complete an interim or final past performance evaluation, and the report will be accessible at https://www.cpars.gov/.

1. Contractor Representatives may then provide comments in response to the evaluation, or return the evaluation without comment.

2. Your comments should focus on objective facts in the AO's narrative and should provide your views on the causes and ramifications of the assessed performance.

3. All information provided should be reviewed for accuracy prior to submission.

4. If you elect not to provide comments, please acknowledge receipt of the evaluation by indicating No comment in the space provided, and then selecting “Accept the Ratings and Close the Evaluation”.

5. Your response is due within 60 calendar days after receipt of the CPAR. On day 15, the evaluation will become https://www.cpars.gov/ available in PPIRS-RC marked as “Pending” with or without comments and whether or not it has been closed.

6. If you do not sign and submit the CPAR within 60 days, it will automatically be returned to the Government and will be annotated: -The report was delivered/received by the contractor on (date). The contractor neither signed nor offered comment in response to this assessment.-

f. The following guidelines apply concerning your use of the past performance evaluation:

1. Protect the evaluation as source selection information. After review, transmit the evaluation by completing and submitting the form through CPARS. If for some reason you are unable to view and/or submit the form through CPARS, contact the CO for instructions.

2. Strictly control access to the evaluation within your organization. Ensure the evaluation is never released to persons or entities outside of your control.

3. Prohibit the use of or reference to evaluation data for advertising, promotional material, pre-award surveys, responsibility determinations, production readiness reviews, or other similar purposes.

g. If you wish to discuss a past performance evaluation, you should request a meeting in writing to the CO no later than seven days following your receipt of the evaluation. The meeting will be held in person or via telephone or other means during your 60-day review period.

h. A copy of the completed past performance evaluation will be available in CPARS for your viewing and for Government use supporting source selection actions after it has been finalized.
