B.3 PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Maintenance and Repair Contract Kitchen Equipment

GENERAL REQUIREMENT

The contractor will, upon successful award of the contract, provide to Hampton Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) 100 Emancipation Dr, Hampton, Virginia 23667. Contract services in the form of labor, materials and expertise to maintain kitchen Cook Chill equipment and other food preparation equipment as set for in this contract in peak operating condition. This contract is effective from the date of award for a period of one base year and (4) 1-year options.

The Nutrition and Food Service Department is tasked with food preparation to support at a minimum of seven (7) hospitals located in North Carolina and Virginia. This food production involves state of the art equipment and extremely tight schedules. Operational equipment is mission critical and therefore of paramount importance.

The contractor will provide the manufacturer’s required maintenance as a normal part of this contract and as set forth in this contract. In addition, contractor will provide repair service for Advanced Food Production (AFP) equipment as required for an established hourly rate. Travel time to the medical center and to acquire parts will not be chargeable. Hourly rate will be charged from the time the contractor is on station until he/she leaves the station. The Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) prior to any repair work proceeding must authorize repair work.

This contract is a 24 hour / 7 day a week / 365 day a year contract. The established hourly rate for repairs is for the same time frame. Overtime rates or premium rates are not authorized.

Preventative Maintenance will be conducted monthly, quarterly (January, April, July, and October), semi-annually (April and October) and annually in August/September (as scheduled).

Vendor shall be within a 2-hour response window for services.

SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

Service technicians working on all equipment will be factory trained and certified as well as have experience working on food service equipment and specifically Cook Chill equipment.

· The service technicians working on the Cleveland Cook Chill equipment will be factory trained by Cleveland.

· Each technician will provide a certificate of Cleveland Factory Training prior to contract award and have one year field experience working on Cook Chill equipment. If technicians are not Cleveland Factory Certified, they must attend a 3-day training within two (2) months of award at the contractor’s expense. The training will be held at the Hampton VAMC on VA equipment by a Cleveland representative.

· Only technicians who have provided Cleveland Certification will be allowed to work on Cleveland Cook Chill Equipment.

· As the contractor experiences technician turnover, each new technician will have to be trained and certified by Cleveland to be allowed to service Cleveland Cook Chill Equipment.

· Contractor must have a minimum of 2 technicians certified to work on Cleveland Cook Chill Equipment. Contractor shall give staffing numbers of cook chill technicians who are currently and/or to be Cleveland trained.

Contractor must be an Authorized Cleveland Parts Dealer or have a letter from Cleveland stating that they will approve authorization if awarded the contract. Parts cannot be ordered through a secondary vendor.

Cleaning products and lubricants must be approved in advance to ensure they are USDA compliant. MSDS must also be provided before use of product.

Contractor will perform a quarterly inventory of all cook chill parts and provide the list to COR. Any cook chill parts will need to be routed through NFS appropriately to ensure proper inventory accountability. Any part removed from stock will be noted on the service ticket and approval for a replacement part will need to be approved. Contractor will be responsible for maintaining appropriate PAR levels for any part in inventory.

Any equipment used for calibrating temperatures must be calibrated and certified per manufacturer’s standards on the anniversary of the last calibration. A copy of the certification will be provided to the COR. Proof of recalibration will be required if the equipment has been exposed to unusual conditions (i.e. accidently dropped, etc.).

Preventive Maintenance (PM) will be performed on a routine basis (monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually as outlined in the Preventive Maintenance Schedule). Maintenance WILL be split into 2 or more visits to ensure a thorough and detailed overview of EACH piece of equipment outlined within this document has been inspected. Each monthly PM visit will be split by a minimum of ten (10) calendar days, unless other arrangements have been made and agreed upon by the department. This will ensure that the PM is not interrupted by unforeseen emergencies requiring immediate technician support. If the contractor chooses to use two (2) or more technicians to meet the obligated contractual hours the maintenance visits will still need to be split by a minimum of ten (10) calendar days, unless other arrangements have been made and agreed upon by the department. Recommend that PM be conducted every 2 weeks or more often until all equipment has been inspected. If a service call is initiated on (1) one business day after the PM and the issue is related to an oversight or improper PM, service call will be resolved with no service or travel cost to the government. Business days are Monday – Friday.

Any work performed under a warranty visit will require its own separate service ticket. Any work performed under a PM visit will require its own separate service ticket. Deficiencies noted on PM should be corrected during PM visit if parts are available. Deviations from this must be approved by the COR.

Contractor will ensure that any and all areas which they are granted access to are secured prior to departure. Any area left unsecure (i.e. fenced in areas, etc) by the contractor may be held liable for any damage that occurs.

Records for maintenance and inspection will be maintained for a period of three years and a hard copy given to the COR for government records. Equipment subject to this contract and its recommended maintenance schedules are listed below.

SERVICE CALLS

Upon notification of a trouble call or problem, the contractor will acknowledge the call within 30 minutes and be on the facility ready to work within 2 hours. The time starts when the initial call is made from the facility. The contractor will maintain a human interface (answering center or on duty maintenance mechanic) with up-to-date contact information to receive the call. Use of pagers or answering machines is not acceptable.

The contractor will develop a source of supply parts to repair equipment in a timely manner. In the event a part is required to be shipped overnight, the government will pay the shipping charge.

The contractor will submit a detailed list of equipment parts required for repairs with their costs to the government. The government reserves the right to order parts or to have the contractor order parts with an established mark up. The government reserves the right to select shipping speed for ordered parts.

Provide written reports following each regular inspection or emergency call, i.e. Work Order slip.

SERVICE RECALLS

If called back for the same problem within 3 days, contractor will not charge the government for follow-on work. If production schedule has to be stopped due to the inability to fix the problem for more than 3 days, then a 5% credit will be credited to the original invoice for each day that production is ceased. This does not include waiting for parts to be shipped. The following are considered critical equipment:

SAFETY

All work will be accomplished to industry standards and compliant with the LIFE SAFETY Code, edition 2012 and all its referenced codes and regulations. All Dept. of Veteran Affairs, Federal, Commonwealth of Virginia laws, regulations and codes will be complied with.

In particular, all refrigerant handling will be IAW EPA Section 608 regulations. The refrigerant removed from the equipment may not be reintroduced unless the contractor can prove to the COR the refrigerant is not contaminated otherwise new or virgin refrigerant will be used. The contractor will supply to the government copies of the documents certifying the proper disposal of the reclaimed refrigerant. Once refrigerant level has been successfully achieved any loss of more than 10# of refrigerant will constitute an initiation of an inspection for the entire refrigeration line for any potential leaks.

SECURITY

Prior to any hot work commencing, the contractor must obtain a hot work permit from the Fire Safety Division of the medical center on a daily basis. All provisions of the permit must be complied with.

Parking will be in designated lots. Consult with the COR as to allowable parking and material drop-off.

Any work requiring a shutdown or utility outage will be requested in advance and scheduled by the COR prior to the work being accomplished.

This is a hospital environment. The contractor and his personnel are expected to be appropriately dressed (uniformed), wear a hairnet and, if needed, a beard guard in the production area and conduct themselves in a professional manner.

Normal work hours of the medical center are from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Due to the potential emergent nature of this contract, work outside the normal working hours (to include evenings and weekends) will be required. The contractor will coordinate any work outside normal working hours with the COR and the kitchen supervisor.

Since the incidents of September 11, 2001, the Federal Government has begun to implement new security measures to help protect federal facilities. The contractor will provide to the COR a list of employees expected to work on this contract. This list will be on company letterhead and contain the employees’ name, driver’s license number, address and nationality. This list will be verified and signed by a corporate officer.

All mechanics and technicians will need to obtain a permanent Contractor ID badge from the Police Department. They will need to coordinate this with the COR before any work can be done. Badge must be worn and visible at all times when on VA property. Loss of badges can result in administrative fees and fines not to exceed $50.00 USD to replace them. Keys to gate and other areas are available in the Main Office. The key must be returned promptly. Loss of keys can result in administrative fees and labor/material costs to re-key all locks on the facility serviced by that key. All contractors must complete all applicable privacy and Rules of Behavior online training on a yearly basis. A copy of the completed certificate must be provided to the COR.

CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT REPORTING SYSTEM (CPARS)

(a) FAR 42.1502 directs all Federal agencies to collect past performance information on contracts. The Department of Veterans Affairs has implemented use of 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) Please furnish the Contracting Officer 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. The report information must be protected as source selection sensitive information not releasable to the public.

(d) When your Contractor Representative(s) (Past Performance Points of Contact) are registered in CPARS, they will receive an automatically generated email with detailed login instructions. Further details, system requirements, and training information for CPARS are available at www.cpars.gov. The CPARS User Manual, registration for online training for Contractor Representatives may be found at this site.

(e) Within 60 days after the end of a performance period, the Contracting Officer will complete an interim or final past performance evaluation and the report will be accessible at www.cpars.gov Contractor Representatives may then provide comments in response to the evaluation or return the evaluation without comment. Comments are limited to the space provided in Block 22. Your comments should focus on objective facts in the Assessing Official’s narrative and should provide your views on the causes and ramifications of the assessed performance. In addition to the ratings and supporting narratives, blocks 1-17 should be reviewed for accuracy, as these include key fields that will be used by the Government to identify your firm in future source selection evaluations. If you elect not to provide comments, please acknowledge receipt of the evaluation by indicating, “No Comment” in Block 22, and then signing and dating Block 23 of the form. Without a statement in Block 22, you will be unable to sign and submit the evaluation back to the Government. If you do not sign and submit the CPAR within 30 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.” Your response is due within 30 calendar days after receipt of the CPAR.

(f) The following guidelines apply concerning your use of the…
