C. DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATION/STATEMENT OF WORK

Introduction

This is a Performance Based Service Contract and the success of the Contract depends on the satisfaction of the requirements, but also the satisfaction of our shared customer.

Rather than a mere list of activities, this is a written expression of the GSA’s expectations of the service to be performed by the Contractor. A higher level of effective communication between the Government and Contractor is essential for partnering and for the performance based service contract to succeed. The success of this Contract is shared between the Government and the Contractor.

More emphasis is placed on the Contractor’s self-management of quality, not the usual external inspection by Government Inspectors, although that is a part of this Contract as well. All parties should act proactively to reduce service cost, therein providing an incentive for the Contractor.

The Contractor, through innovation, technology, or other means, shall perform the required maintenance of these facilities by following the Guiding Principles for Sustainable Existing

Buildings:

I. Employ Integrated Assessment, Operation and Management Principles

a. Ensure incorporation of GSA’s performance goals for energy, water, material use and recycling, and indoor environmental quality goals throughout the life of this

Contract.

b. Ensure that operating decisions are carried out with regard to sustainable operations.

c. Meet ASHRAE standards as noted throughout the SOW for thermal comfort and indoor air quality.

d. Use low emitting materials Volatile organic compounds (VOC) or other for maintenance. In particular, use products that have low pollutant emissions, adhesives, sealants, and solvents.

e. Use products meeting or exceeding EPA’s recycled content recommendations for building maintenance. For other products such as ceiling tiles, use materials with recycled content. For more information, see EPA’s Comprehensive Procurement

Guideline website.

f. Use materials with the highest content level per USDA’s bio-based content recommendations for maintenance of or use in the building.

g. Use environmentally sustainable products that have a lesser or reduced effect on human health and the environment. See the Green Products Compilation.

h. Provide salvage, reuse and recycling services for waste generated from building operations, maintenance, and repair and discarded equipment.

i. Eliminate the use of ozone depleting compounds where alternative environmentally sustainable products are available consistent with the Clean Air Act.

II. Optimize Energy Performance – GSA is in the process of optimizing energy performance through advance metering and monthly reporting. Operate all equipment to optimize efficiency to reduce energy use and otherwise seek operating costs reductions wherever possible.

III. Protect and Conserve Water where possible inside and outside. Metering systems may be already installed or will be installed in government buildings to aid in reducing consumption. Where available, use EPA’s Water Sense-labeled products or other water conserving products.

IV. Be aware that the building(s) and management involved with this Contract may be in the process of establishing new initiatives, instituting plans, and operational procedures to meet energy efficiency goals either through receiving an ENERGY STAR rating, Smart

Building/ GSA link technology, or comparable programs. The Contractor will play an integral part of obtaining these goals and shall actively participate in the programs and processes.

V. The purpose of partnering is to adopt procedures wherein the Scope of Work where the

Contractor and Government can work together in achieving Contract objectives. Partnering involves the development of a cooperative management team that seeks to identify common goals and objectives.

VI. This is a fixed-price Contract and while working with the Government in obtaining goals the Contractor is motivated to find improved methods of performance in order to increase its profits. Results of an effective partnership should reflect a “mutual win” situation.
