B.5 PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)
Department of Veterans Affairs Philadelphia Information Technology Center (PITC)
EMERGENCY DIESEL GENERATOR RELIABILITY STUDY
1.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Philadelphia Information Technology Center (PITC) has a requirement for a reliability study to be performed on the existing VA owned Emergency Power Generation/Distribution System. PITC has had two (2) computer room outages, less than six months apart (i.e. March 2017 & Sept 2017), due to the Emergency Power Generation/Distribution System failing to provide power during commercial power outages.
PITC initially thought the first generation system failure was due to the control settings on the automatic transfer switches and the second outage was due to starved fuel issues to the generators. A reliability study is required to determine all underlying problems that may impair the Emergency Power Generation/Distribution System from providing electricity to the facility during a loss of commercial power.
2.0 CONTRACT TYPE:
This is a firm-fixed price contract.
3.0 PERFORMANCE DETAILS:
3.1 PERFORMANCE PERIOD
The period of performance of this contract shall be twelve (12) months from the date of award. All tasks will be performed within the timeline outlined in Section 8.0 of this Performance Work Statement (PWS).
Any work at the Government site shall not take place on Federal holidays or weekends unless directed by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR).
With the exception of testing events that require electrical shutdowns, all the work associated with this Performance Work Statement shall be accomplished under the supervision of a government employee, during normal business hours (i.e. Monday through Friday 8:00am through 4:00pm). The contractor shall provide PITC at least 48 hours’ notice of any scheduled work to ensure resources and PITC’s primary mission does not conflict.
Testing event(s) that will require the shutdown of electrical power to one or more of the facility automatic transfer switches shall be submitted in writing to the PITC at least 5 business days prior to the scheduled performance of this work. This shutdown work must be performed during non-business hours (i.e. Monday through Friday 6:00pm through 6:00am or selected weekends) and cannot be performed without written approval by the PITC.
There are ten (10) Federal holidays set by law (USC Title 5 Section 6103) that VA follows:
Under current definitions, four are set by date:
New Year's Day January 1 Independence Day July 4 Veterans Day November 11 Christmas Day December 25
If any of the above falls on a Saturday, then Friday shall be observed as a holiday.
Similarly, if one falls on a Sunday, then Monday shall be observed as a holiday.
The other six are set by a day of the week and month:
Martin Luther King's Birthday Third Monday in January Washington's Birthday Third Monday in February Memorial Day Last Monday in May Labor Day First Monday in September Columbus Day Second Monday in October Thanksgiving Fourth Thursday in November
3.2 PLACE OF PERFORMANCE
Tasks under this Performance Work Statement shall be performed at the VA facility located at 5000 Wissahickon Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19144.
4.0 SCOPE OF WORK:
The Contractor shall provide all labor, tools, equipment, and supervision necessary to perform a complete system reliability study of the VA owned Emergency Power Generation/Distribution System. This study shall include cleaning, inspecting, and servicing the underground fuel tank. Upon completion of the study the contractor shall provide the VA with a comprehensive report of findings identifying any vulnerability discovered within the Emergency Power Generation/Distribution System. The comprehensive report shall include a corrective action plan with a cost estimate to repair/resolve all deficiencies. Once the VA makes all recommended repairs, the contractor shall return to the site to perform re-commissioning of the power generation system.
