• 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.

Note 3: The VA must assess and document the competency of contractors and the contractor’s personnel as part of the acquisition process prior to the start of any work on facility cooling tower water systems, including water treatment. Competencies must be re-assessed on an on-going basis, or whenever there is a change in contractors or the contractor’s personnel performing the work. At a minimum, the contractor’s competency should be assessed and documented on an annual basis. A copy of any assessment or documentation must be submitted and retained in the contract file by the Contracting Officers Representative.

Definition/Description:

Project Manager (PM): the person in overall charge of the planning and execution of a project.

(A project manager 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.

Contractor Staff/Personnel Qualifications:

1. (Prime) contractors and subcontractors shall possess the necessary capabilities, qualifications, and experience necessary to execute the specific tasks in this Performance Work Statement. No unqualified individuals shall perform maintenance and/or repair service for the equipment listed in this Performance Work Statement at any time during the performance period. Contractors and subcontractors shall have the minimum qualifications as listed below (i.e. core competencies) for the staff/personnel that are provided.

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.

The government cannot afford to take any risks during execution of services and therefore must ensure that only qualified personnel are performing these services. Therefore, personnel must have the minimum experience as annotated in this section. While the government cannot prevent unqualified personnel from helping other staff members, personnel not possessing the minimum qualifications are not allowed to be performing maintenance/repair on the equipment.

If the prime contractor is partnering with another subcontractor to provide services, the subcontractor will be required to possess the same qualifications as the prime contractor. Prime contractors are responsible for the actions/inactions of their subcontractor for this requirement.

2. Contractor shall provide personnel/technicians that have successfully completed service and training from the manufacturer or a manufacturer accredited school that resulted in the core competencies mentioned above.

3. All personnel who will be performing services on the required equipment shall demonstrate that they have the necessary capabilities, qualifications, and minimum required experience by providing the appropriate credentialing documents. Resumes shall be provided for each personnel/staff member that will be performing work and/or who will be managing personnel, the services being conducted, and/or the progress of this requirement in a direct or indirect capacity. The submittal of resumes is required for both prime contractor and subcontracting personnel/staff as a part of their technical proposal. Other documents may be provided by the contractor/subcontractor as needed (or if appropriate) if such documents adequately describe the qualifications, experience, skills, and technical capabilities of those personnel. To be relevant, the qualifications, experience, skills, and technical capabilities described/listed must be specific and must mirror the current requirement (Chemical Maintenance and Treatment of Boilers and Chillers that is described herein). To be valid, qualifications, experience, skills, and technical capabilities of personnel must be verifiable through a cross check of the credentialing documents that are required/submitted. The minimum required experience of contractor personnel who will be performing services on equipment shall be verified by the COR prior to the commencement of these services by these personnel. The contractor will notify the COR if there are substitutions or replacement of these personnel so that additional and/or follow up verifications can be done.

4. Contractor’s shall familiarize themselves with Addendum A: Hazardous Material Identification and Material Safety Data as listed below for this requirement.

5. Contractor’s shall familiarize themselves with Addendum B: Personnel Protective Equipment

(PPE) guidelines as listed below for this requirement.
