PERFOMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

Objective: The overall purpose is to provide chemical treatment, service, complete preventative maintenance (hereafter called PM Service), and on-the-job training for Government owned equipment for the Durham VA Health Care System, 508 Fulton Street, Durham, NC 27705.

Hours of Operation: Hours of Operation: Services shall be performed during the VA normal business hours, 7:30 a.m. through 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding Federal holidays. Any work that needs to take place outside of the scope of normal business hours shall be approved by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) prior to the commencement of work. Federal holidays are available at the Federal Holiday OPM Site.

Period of Performance: The expected period of performance is January 13, 2023, through January 12, 2024, with four (4) twelve (12) month option periods that may or may not be exercised based on the needs of and at the discretion of the government. The actual performance period shall be established at the time of contract award.

General:

Company shall provide the services of an experienced water treatment chemical engineer or technical representative to perform chemical treatment and monitoring during the contract period. Evidence of company’s history, personnel and facility capabilities must be provided with bid.

Company’s laboratory shall be ISO 9001 certified and equipped to conduct full spectrum analysis of all samples presented associated with this contract. Samples may be from utility plant equipment or air handling units.

The government cannot anticipate an exact number of staff that are needed to successfully complete the tasks/requirements in this Performance Work Statement. However, for the performance period of the contract (to include the option year periods if exercised) the contractor shall provide the minimum staffing levels that are listed below. While it is the responsibility of the contractor to provide an adequate level of qualified staff to meet (or exceed) mission requirements contractors shall provide the minimum staff that are listed below during the performance period of the contract. Company shall assign in writing a qualified primary and secondary field representative for the duration of this contract.

· At least 1 Project Manager (PM). See Note 1 and Note 2

· At least 1 Operations Manager (OM) See Note 1 and Note 2

· At least 1 Technician

*Note 1: The Project Manager can also be the Operations Manager (and serve a dual role) if the Project Manager is actively engaged in and is performing/completing operations related tasks and deliverables to include meeting the definition of an operations Manager as defined herein. In turn, the Operations Manager (OM) can also be the Project Manager (and serve a dual role) if he/she is managing/overseeing the project.

*Note 2: Project Managers and Operations Managers must have the minimum number of years of experience as annotated in the Contractor Staff/Personnel Qualifications section of this Performance Work Statement. A Project Manager cannot serve as an operations Manager if he/she lacks the minimum years of experience required for this role.

For this specific requirement, the roles/responsibilities of the Project Manager, Operations Manager, and Technician are defined/described below.

Definition/Description:

Project Manager (PM): the person in overall charge of the planning and execution of a project and is typically a senior manager who is not involved in the daily operations of a project but ensures that the operations of a project are functioning effectively and that tasks/deliverables are being completed. A project manager is usually the supervisor of an operations manager. The project manager is ultimately responsible/accountable for the completion of operational tasks/deliverables for a project. (In some cases, the project manager is also the operations manager who (as the PM/OM) manages the entire spectrum of a project ensuring that everything gets done).

Operations Manager (OM): a person who manages the operations of a project. An operations manager is sometimes referred to as a “floor manager.” An operations manager is the “boots on the ground,” “personnel on the flight line,” and the “hands on deck” supervisor of the technicians that are performing the work. In most cases the operations manager is working right alongside the technicians who are performing/completing operational tasks/deliverables for a project.

Technician: staff/personnel who perform/complete the operational tasks/deliverable for a project. Technicians are the “worker bees” for a project and usually do not serve in a supervisory capacity. Technicians are the “boots on the ground,” “personnel on the flight line,” and the “hands on deck” who are doing the work for a project.

Project Manager (PM):

· Minimum of five (5) years’ experience on the equipment to be maintained (as specified in this Statement of Work) to include original equipment manufacturer and other related devices. If the Project Manager (PM) is also serving as the Operations Manager (OM) (dual role) then he/she shall have the additional experience required for an Operations Manager.

Operations Manager (OM) and Technician:

· Minimum of ten (10) years’ experience on the equipment to be maintained (as specified in this Statement of Work) to include original equipment manufacturer and other related devices).

· Minimum of seven (7) years’ experience performing water testing and chemical treatment on chiller and boiler systems.

Prospective companies must submit with their bid a summary of their operator-training program they shall use during this contract.

Each bidder must provide explicit details how each of the chemicals in their program will achieve results to meet the requirements of the specifications. Each bidder will include a list of three (3) references of institutions currently using a boiler chemical treatment program as described in this PWS.

Each bidder will submit with their bid the energy savings they shall guarantee with their treatment. If there is no energy savings to be expected, then it must be stated.

Perform monthly tests of the cooling tower for Legionella pneumophila and submit reports stating Legionella bacteria count per millimeter. These tests shall be conducted in a certified laboratory and not by a technician in the field.

Products:

Chemicals necessary to chemically treat system to control scale, corrosion and biological fouling.

Inhibitor to protect against corrosion and scale formation.

Liquid biocides for prevention of slime, bacteria and algae.

Water treatment chemicals to remain stable throughout operating temperature range.

Are compatible with pump seals and other elements in the systems.

Chromate-based chemicals are unacceptable.

All chemicals to be acceptable for discharge to sanitary sewer.

1. Contractor Responsibilities

a. The Contractor shall provide one (1) year’s supply of chemical treatment including quantity of chemicals necessary to chemically treat systems to control scale, corrosion and biological fouling.

b. Contractor shall provide all necessary reagent test kits and calibration solutions to perform all necessary treatment, service, preventive maintenance, and on-the-job training for all equipment.

c. The Contractor shall provide all staffing and transportation necessary for the delivery and administration of the necessary chemicals for the treatment of the systems noted. The contractor is responsible for bringing the needed chemicals to specific site locations and transferring chemicals to and from the site. The contractor will also be responsible for handling all chemical transfers into all the tanks. Point of feed locations for each system are easily accessible and are not located in remote or hard to access locations to include sensitive areas (i.e. patient care or public areas). Contractors will not have to travel through sensitive areas or interact with patients to reach point of feed locations.
