Statement of Work Zambia Dining Facility and Warehouse Construction Projects

May 13August 1July 30, 2024June 4, 2024

REVISED, POST SITE SURVEY Q&A

1. GENERAL.

1.1. Background. The Global Peace Operations Initiative (GPOI) is a U.S. Department of State security assistance program focused on building international peacekeeping capacity worldwide in close collaboration with the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD). The GPOI program’s mission is to strengthen the effectiveness of the United Nations (UN) and regional peace operations by enhancing partner countries’ capacities to prepare, deploy, and sustain peacekeepers and reinforcing UN and regional organizations’ performance and accountability frameworks. Department of State’s Bureau of Political Military Affairs, Office of Global Programs and Initiatives, Peace Operations Capacity Building Division (PM/GPI/POCB) serves as the GPOI Program Office.

1.2. GPOI Program Objectives.

▪ Support partner countries’ development of critical mission capabilities.

▪ Enhance partner countries’ peace operations planning, training, and readiness competencies.

▪ Enable partner countries to conduct effective operations and sustainment.

▪ Reinforce UN and regional organizations’ performance and accountability frameworks.

1.3. Project Context. This Statement of Work (SOW) defines requirements for an environmentally friendly dining facility and warehouse construction project that will provide the Zambia Defense Force (ZDF) with operational and sustainable infrastructure to support ZDF peacekeeping training. The green aspect of this facility complies with the Government of Zambia’s (GOZ) desire to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels.

1.4. Project Purpose. The overarching purpose of this project is to build the ZDF’s capacity to prepare, deploy, and sustain effective peacekeeping forces in support of UN and AU mandated tasks. The activities in this SOW shall complement broader GPOI programming efforts and support U.S. Government (USG) peacekeeping policy priorities for Zambia and the region.

2. REQUIREMENTS.

2.1. Summary of Requirements. The Contractor shall: Plan, resource, design, supervise, and facilitate the construction of a dining facility, a multipurpose warehouse and training sheds at Zambia’s Peace Operations Training Center (POTC) in Lusaka, Zambia. These facilities will utilize solar power and energy storage and grid power as backup and use energy efficient materials when possible. The green aspect of these facilities complies with the GOZ’s desire to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels. Additionally, the camp suffers from power outages throughout the day which frequently disrupt training. The ZDF would like to use the national grid for their electrical needs as backup. The Contractor will also provide training on how to operate specialty equipment (Solar panels) and provide a recommended maintenance plan.

2.2 Required Tasks. Required tasks under this SOW are as follows, with additional detail provided under the Scope of Work section below.

REQUIRED TASKS

TASK A. Construct a Dining Facility at Zambia POTC (see APPENDIX 1)

TASK B.

(OPTIONAL)

Construct a Multipurpose Warehouse at Zambia POTC (see APPENDIX 2)

TASK C.

(OPTIONAL)

Construct Training Sheds at Zambia POTC (see APPENDIX 3)

2.2.1. Coordinate with Zambia officials and facilitate the procurement and delivery of equipment and supplies as required to complete all tasks and subtasks.

2.2.2. Minimize the use of wood in all construction projects due to the extreme termite problem.

The use of metal is preferred for the structural component of each building.

2.2.3. Constructed buildings under this task order shall have LED lighting consisting of fixtures with LED lamps that can be locally sourced (as specified by the site design), doors, door hardware, and finishes as indicated in the attached drawings. The building shall comply with the current standards of the country’s building codes and regulations. Exterior Doors shall be made of metal.

2.2.4. Perform the clearing, grubbing, excavation, compacting and removal needed to carry out all works regarding the projects specified. During site preparation storm water during and after construction should be considered. The Contractor shall be responsible for any damage to the site during the execution of these activities. The excavation works shall include minor tools, machinery, dump truck transportation to authorized sites in the region, and labor.

2.2.5. Conduct tasks and subtasks concurrently and coordinate the sequencing of the enhancements with the PTC Commandant or the designated representative.

2.2.6. Utilize green and energy efficient concepts within the designs of the buildings. This should include but not limited to the idea of “cool roof” and “cool wall” as discussed by the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC) (https://coolroofs.org/), which looks at two concepts: 1) Solar Reflectance- The fraction of solar energy that is reflected by the roof. 2) Thermal Emittance- The relative ability of the roof surface to radiate heat. In addition to the cool roofs, use passive and low-energy cooling design principles, translucent roof panels and tubular skylights to allow in natural light, the use of energy efficient windows with a low solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) and/or reflective film, the use of energy efficient lighting, and the application of solar panels for electricity. When possible, the contractor shall propose additional “green” concepts to be used in the designs of the buildings. Cost/benefit and maintenance should be in the forefront of these proposals.

2.2.7. The contractor is responsible for providing all construction water requirements for construction.
