9.0 INSPECTIONS, TESTING, AND CERTIFICATION

!*********************************************************************NOTE TO SOW WRITER: ANSI A17.1, and ANSI A17.2 require certain full load and speed tests to be performed at specified intervals. These tests must be witnessed by (and could be performed by) a certified inspector who may be a Government employee or who may be provided by a separate facilities support contract. The elevator maintenance Contractor may perform the tests, but cannot provide the certified inspector. The elevator program manager should be able to provide examples of SOWs for vertical transportation equipment (VTE) certification services if a certified Government employee is not available.

Tests may be scheduled during the term of the contract either by the Government or the Contractor, or both. Who performs the scheduling depends on the extent of information provided by the user in the attachments. If general information, such as the week or month during which tests are to be performed is included, the Contractor will need to submit a more detailed schedule after award indicating proposed specific test dates. If the Attachments indicate only the systems to be tested during each contract term, the entire proposed schedule will be submitted by the Contractor. If a detailed schedule is provided in the attachments, no submission will be needed from the Contractor. Generally, the Contractor should be allowed as much latitude in scheduling tests as possible, subject to the availability of the Government furnished inspector. For example, if certification services are contracted out, the user may need to include rather detailed scheduling requirements in the attachments. On the other hand, if the Government's inspector is a civilian employee who is readily available most of the time, limited or no scheduling information may be needed. Pick the appropriate option and tailor the "Scheduling Requirements" paragraph below accordingly.

Tailor the following sections and appropriate attachments to ensure that all required tests are included for the systems listed in an attachment to this SOW, and that scheduling requirements are clear and reasonable. The tailored SOW must clearly state what specific tests are to be performed on each specific system in the base and each option period.

The Contractor must provide inspection and testing services as required herein to support routine and periodic certification requirements of elevator, dumbwaiter, escalator, and moving walk systems. All inspections and tests must be performed in the presence of a certified inspector, which will be provided by the Government. All inspection and testing must be performed in accordance with ANSI A17.1 and ANSI A17.2, except as modified herein.

Deficiencies discovered during testing must be corrected as part of the test. However, if the total direct cost of materials or time required to complete the repairs exceed the limits specified for a PMIS inspection, a service call will be issued to cover the required repairs. These time and dollar limits apply to each inspection for each equipment system.

a. Scheduling Requirements. The schedules in the attachments indicate the month and year

[ADD "WEEK" IF APPROPRIATE] during which the Contractor must provide semiannual, annual, three year, and five year inspections/tests during the base and option periods of the contract. Within 30 calendar days after award of the contract the Contractor must submit for the CO's approval a proposed schedule for the accomplishment of all such inspections/tests during the base period of the contract. Schedules for the option years must be submitted for approval within 30 calendar days of notice to extend the contract. The schedule must indicate the proposed date of each inspection/test for each specific system. Prior to approval, the CO may require the Contractor to change proposed dates to ensure the availability of the Government furnished inspector. Schedule changes required by the Government after approval must be made at no additional cost if notice is provided to the Contractor [INSERT] calendar days or more prior to the scheduled date of accomplishment.

Changes to the approved schedule proposed by the Contractor must be submitted for the CO's approval at least [INSERT] working days in advance.

a. (OPTIONAL) Scheduling Requirements. Specific elevators which the Government anticipates will require testing and certification during the base and option periods of the contract are listed in the attachments. Within 30 calendar days after award of the contract, the Contractor must submit for the CO's approval a proposed schedule for the accomplishment of all semiannual, annual, three year, and five year inspection/test requirements required during the base period of the contract. Schedules for the option years must be submitted for approval within 30 calendar days of notice to extend the contract. The schedule must indicate the proposed date [OR WEEK AND MONTH, ETC] of each inspection/test for each specific system. Prior to approval, the CO may require the Contractor to change proposed dates to ensure the availability of the Government furnished inspector. Schedule changes required by the Government after approval must be made at no additional cost if notice is provided to the Contractor [INSERT] calendar days or more prior to the scheduled date of accomplishment. Changes to the approved schedule proposed by the Contractor must be submitted for the CO's approval at least [INSERT] working days in advance.

e. Periodic Five Year Inspection/Test Requirements. ANSI A17.1, Rules 1002.3 and 1005.4, requires certain full load and speed tests to be performed at five year intervals. Electric traction elevators require a safety test that includes testing the governor and safety buffers at rated speed and rated load. The Contractor must perform these tests on the elevator systems specified in an attachment in accordance with the ANSI rules specified.

10.0 SERVICE WORK

!*********************************************************************NOTE TO SOW WRITER: Quick response to service calls adds to contract cost and may contribute to contract administrative problems. Do not specify response times that are more rapid than are truly needed. 24 hours should be a reasonable routine response time for administrative areas, particularly if there are other elevators available. Different routine response times could be specified for facilities with "critical" equipment, such as where there are a limited number of elevators, or an additional category of service call response could be added for these facilities, as discussed below.

Two service call response categories, emergency and routine, are established in the SERVICE WORK section below. Some users may want to add a third response category, such as "Urgent", with response and completion times falling between those of routine and emergency.

Urgent calls would permit a quicker response to certain repairs, such as those which have a direct impact on production, but are not life threatening; and/or to systems in facilities where there are a limited number of elevators.

The Contractor must perform service work (service calls) as necessary to determine the cause of system and equipment malfunctions, eliminate the cause(s), and restore the system or equipment to satisfactory working condition. Excessive or repeated systems and equipment malfunctioning may be considered by the Government to be unsatisfactory performance of service work by the Contractor. The Contractor must respond to all service calls, including those calls where the accomplishment of repairs is subsequently determined to be beyond the major repair limit established in the "GENERAL REQUIREMENTS" section. Include an attachment that provides data on the number of service calls which have historically been required to repair the systems listed in another attachment.

!*********************************************************************NOTE TO SOW WRITER:

Paragraph a. below provides for insertion of a materials cost "cap" or limit for each service call.

Beyond this "cap" the Government will reimburse the Contractor for additional material requirements by issuing a simple modification to the contract.

a. Shared Material Cost. For any individual unit or incident of repair (i.e., per service call), the Contractor must furnish all labor and all repair parts, sub-assemblies, assemblies, and other materials required to complete the repair up to a total maximum cost of $2,000.

However, the Contractor will be reimbursed for the cost of materials to the extent that the total direct material cost (excluding pre-expended bin materials) exceeds [INSERT $ AMOUNT, $500 IS RECOMMENDED] per service call. Material estimated to cost more than [INSERT SAME $ AMOUNT] must not be purchased without prior approval of the CO. The limitations of this paragraph do not apply to repairs required to correct damage caused by the Contractor.

1. Supplier's Price Quotations. In order to receive reimbursement for the cost of materials the Contractor must obtain a minimum of two commercial supplier's quotes when the total direct cost of materials required for a service call exceeds [INSERT SAME $ AMOUNT]. Quotes, including the size, quality, number of units, and date of expected availability, must be submitted in writing to the CO as required during the course of work.

2. Establishing Reimbursement Amount. Material prices used in establishing the reimbursement amount must be the lowest price available considering the availability of materials and the time constraints of the job. The cost of pre-expended bin supplies and materials must not be included. $[INSERT SAME $ AMOUNT] will be subtracted from the total direct material cost for the job to determine the reimbursement amount. For example, if the total cost of non pre-expended bin materials required to complete a service call is $1,000, the Contractor will be reimbursed [INSERT $ AMOUNT].

b. Service Call Reception. Authorized Government representatives will advise the Contractor by phone of all service call requests received, both during and after regular working hours, as well as the classification of each call based on the definitions provided below. The Contractor must have adequate procedures for receiving and responding to service calls 24 hours per day, including weekends and holidays. A single local or toll free telephone number must be provided by the Contractor for receipt of all service calls. All telephone calls must be answered within 30 seconds by an individual fully familiar with the Contractor's work control procedures and the terms and conditions of this contract. Calls must be considered received by the Contractor at the time and date the telephone call is placed.

c. Service Call Classifications. Service calls will be classified by the Government as either emergency or routine, and the following procedures must apply.

1. Emergency Service Calls. Service calls will be classified as emergency at the discretion of the CO. Generally calls will be classified as emergency when system failures constitute a danger to personnel, threaten to damage property, or threaten to disrupt activity operations and/or training missions. Examples include personnel "trapped" inside an elevator, a fire or electrical defect which could cause fire or shock, etc. The Contractor must provide a mechanic at the site and on the job ready to service the elevator, escalator, or dumbwaiter within [INSERT RESPONSE TIME, E.G., ONE-HALF TO ONE HOUR] hour of receiving the call, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. After beginning work, the Contractor must work continuously until the emergency situation is arrested. After arresting the emergency condition, any remaining work required to restore safe, continuous, and reliable equipment operation must be performed as a routine service call in accordance with the requirements specified in the following paragraph. Such follow up work must be considered part of the original service call.

!*********************************************************************NOTE TO SOW WRITER: Tailor the examples below based on the response time specified.

2. Routine Service Calls. Service calls will be classified as routine when the work does not qualify as an emergency call. The Contractor must respond to and begin work on routine service calls within [INSERT RESPONSE TIME, E.G., 24 HOURS] hours after receipt of the call. For example, if a routine service call is received by the Contractor at 10:00 A.M. on Tuesday, the Contractor must be at the job site not later than 10:00 A.M. on Wednesday. If the call is received at 2:00 P.M. on Friday, the Contractor must be at the job site not later than 2:00 P.M. on the following Monday.

Routine service work will normally be performed during the Government's regular working hours unless prior approval is received from the CO. Routine service calls must be completed in accordance with the following standards:

!*********************************************************************NOTE TO SOW WRITER: The following repair time allowances recognize that Contractors will not normally maintain an inventory of expensive repair parts on hand, and that if they did, the cost of the contract would be excessive. By allowing one to three days to procure expensive parts, the Contractor will be more likely to meet the repair completion times specified, and will not have to tie money up in inventory. These allowances should be adjusted (either dollar amounts or time) by the user if the activity's situation warrants (i.e., if the activity's experience has been that parts availability and procurement time frames make the suggested figures unreasonable for Contractors to meet).

a. If no single repair part exceeds $250.00 in cost, all repair and service work must be carried to completion upon commencement of the work. Work must be completed within two working days from receipt of the call.

b. If any single repair part equals or exceeds $250.00 in cost, but is less than $750.00, the Contractor will be allowed one working day to procure the part after receipt of the call. Work must be completed within two working days after obtaining the part.

c. If any single repair part exceeds $750.00 in cost, the Contractor will be allowed three working days after receipt of the call to procure parts. Work must be completed within two working days after obtaining the part.

d. After procuring part(s), Contractor must work continuously during regular hours until the repair is completed. If the Contractor has not secured parts within the allowed time, then the Government reserves the right to (a) find a source for the part and require the Contractor to purchase the part from that source, or (b) to accomplish the work by other means or (c) require the Contractor to obtain and provide documentation of price quotations and the date of expected availability of parts from at least two different commercial suppliers.

d. Service Records and Reports. See 7.0 MANAGEMENT section for service work record keeping and work completion reporting requirements.

e. Service Work Quality Standards. The Contractor must meet the following service work quality standards:

1. All work, including repair and replacement parts, satisfies the recommendations and requirements of ANSI A17.1 (Parts X and XII and other parts/rules further referenced therein).

2. Operational and other inspections and tests incidental to or arising from the replacement of certain parts and components are satisfactorily performed, as recommended or required by ANSI A17.1.

3. Continuous progress and completion of the work resulting in a safe, efficient, and reliable system condition that permits the restoration of system service.

4. Safe job site during progress of work. Clean job site upon completion of work.

5. Unserviceable parts and components removed from Government property unless directed otherwise by the CO. Unserviceable parts and components to be removed from site must, to the maximum extent possible, be diverted from landfill or incineration facility to a certified recycling center.
