PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

PAINTING SERVICES – INPATIENT WARDS

SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA VETERANS’ HEALTHCARE SYSTEM (SLVHCS)

2400 CANAL STREET, NEW ORLEANS, LA 70119

PART 1 – GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 General

SLVHCS requires contracted painting services to complete touch-ups and minor wall repairs in the Patient Wards. The wards is unoccupied during the period of performance, allowing work to be completed without impacting patient care or operations.

1.2 Description of Services

The Contractor shall furnish all labor, supervision, equipment, tools, and non-paint materials required to perform surface preparation, minor wall repairs, and painting (including full-wall touch-ups where any touch-up is needed), cleanup, restoration of areas, and removal/reinstallation of allowable wall items in accordance with this PWS.

1.3 Background

The healthcare system currently has only one available in-house painter; a second painter is out on medical leave. Due to system-wide workload demands, the ward cannot be refreshed in the timeframe needed using internal resources.

1.4 Summary of Work

Scope includes surface repairs, preparation, and painting across patient rooms, corridors, doorframes, and support areas of the Inpatient Building Ward. Because the ward is vacant, the work can be performed efficiently and safely. Estimated labor: up to 80 hours.

1.5 Justification

Completing aesthetic work while the ward is vacant prevents future disruption to patient care, supports Environment of Care (EOC) expectations, and ensures readiness.

1.6 Period of Performance (POP)

Work must be completed approximately thirty (40) calendar days after award.

1.7 Scope and Constraints

• Labor Hours: Up to 80 hours, excluding lunch breaks, with no more than three (3) personnel onsite at any time. Labor hours are at standard rates.

• Surfaces to Paint: Sheet rock (gypsum board) walls and metal framing components (including metal door frames) only.

• Minor Wall Repair: Patch/fill/sand and prepare substrates; apply two (2) coats of paint on all repaired areas.

• Full-Wall Painting: Where any touch-up is performed, paint the entire wall corner-to-corner/edge-to-edge (spot-patching alone is not permitted).

• Allowable Removals: Remove and reinstall framed artwork or decorative items; do not remove TV monitors or medical equipment monitors.

• Protection: Prevent any visible paint splatter on headwalls, outlets, rails, switches, and wall-mounted devices; use masking and coverings to protect adjacent finishes.

• Pre-Work Space Readiness: Confirm the condition/readiness of each space before work begins daily; report deficiencies to the COR and commence work only after COR acknowledgement.

• Daily Check-In/Out: All staff shall check in and out each day with the COR or designee.

• QC Walkthroughs: Perform a minimum of three (3) quality-control walkthroughs during the entire period of performance; document and provide upon request.

• Parking: Onsite parking is permitted per VA Police instructions.

• Rework: Any deficient work shall be corrected at no cost to the Government.

1.5 General Information

1.5.1 Quality Control

The Contractor shall develop and maintain an effective Quality Control Program (QCP) to ensure services conform to this PWS, including procedures to identify, prevent, and ensure non-recurrence of defective services.

After acceptance of the QCP, any proposed change to the QC system requires written acceptance by the Contracting Officer (CO/KO).

Include key control procedures in the QCP, including turn-in of keys by personnel who no longer require access and immediate reporting of lost or duplicate keys/key cards to the CO.

1.5.5.2.1 Lost/Duplicated Keys

When non-master keys are lost/duplicated, the Contractor shall, upon CO notification, re-key or replace affected locks; the Government may perform the work and deduct cost from payment due the Contractor. If a master key is lost/duplicated, the Government will replace all locks and keys for that system and deduct the total cost from payment due the Contractor.

1.5.5.2.2 Key Usage Prohibition

Prohibit use of Government-issued keys/key cards by persons other than Contractor employees; prohibit opening locked areas for non-authorized persons unless approved by the CO.

1.5.5.3 Lock Combinations

Ensure lock combinations are not revealed to unauthorized persons; change combinations when personnel no longer require access; include these procedures in the QCP.
