Also, request that vendor options remain open to provide for any future request within the next ninety days.

This procurement uses a detailed plastic sheeting specification (attached), taking into consideration all specifications used in the past under similar procurements; the United States Army Corps of Engineers input on the testing of plastic sheeting; industry input; and the use of an independent contractor hired by FEMA.

Specification Requirements:

The plastic sheeting provided by the contractor(s) shall meet all requirements of Attachment 1, “Plastic Sheeting Specification for Federal Emergency Management Agency.”

Period of Performance:

The full order must be delivered by November 7, 2017. If the full order cannot be delivered by November 7, 2017 the vendor must agree to ship incrementally, with the full order being delivered within 30 days after the award date.

Production/Delivery Schedule Requirements:

Purchase order will be classified as Critical Surge Deliveries with delivery location:

DC Caribbean for USACE San Juan Industrial Park

PR-1,KM-25

Quebrada Arenas Ward 04

FEDAAC 70F337

Cargus, PR 00725

Critical Surge Deliveries may need to be diverted from the original intended location, after award. If a diversion is required, the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) will notify the vendor via email. The locations where the deliveries may be diverted are listed below:

Ft. Worth, TX 76115

The Government reserves the right to require delivery of diverted Critical Surge Delivery orders to locations other than those listed above.

The contractor shall pack all plastic sheeting in accordance with the requirements outlined in the Specification Attachment 1 below.

Tracking:

The Contractor must have the capability to track shipments electronically (i.e. Global Positioning System GPS) and provide updates on a 24/7 basis. For example: FEMA may request diversion of shipment during response to disaster and would need to know current location of shipment in order to calculate accurate arrival time to diverted location.

Upon invoicing, the contractor shall provide an electronic spreadsheet showing details of commodity shipped from place of origin to destination. At a minimum the electronic spreadsheet must provide these details: Load number, BOL number, nomenclature and units shipped, carrier, truck number, trailer number, place of origin, and destination.

The finished stock will be 20' X 100' long sheet (-1% to +3%). The product supplied should not exceed 70 pounds.

If roll stock is fabricated into panels of 20' X 100' the seams should be fully adhered throughout their length. The seams shall be free of puckers and air pockets. All seams will be tested by appropriate non-destructive technique to assure continuity the full length of the seam. (Appropriate techniques of testing seams are defined in manufacturing section.)

Any scrim reinforced material will be a minimum of 900 Denier and spaced no further apart than 3/8 inch from all directions. The strike-through area of scrim reinforced materials will be completely adhered with no delamination, bubbles, tears, blisters, etc.

The plastic sheet shall be flame retardant with a Class A rating when tested by ASTM E 84-97a. It shall retain 80% of its tensile strength after 200 hours of UV exposure according to ASTM G 23. (Cycle is 102 minutes UV light and 18 minutes UV light and water spray.)

The finished product will be gusseted and/or accordion folded onto a three (3) inch diameter by forty-eight (48) inch core. The core wall will be 0.190 inches thick. The sheet will fit on the core with no overhang of the finished product to the core. The outer wrap for each roll must consist of a 3.5 mil cross-laminated film fastened to the core with plastic core plugs and sealed with a 3 inch wide compatible sealing tape.

The finished product will be placed onto a 42 inch by 48 inch 4 way pallet. There will be a pallet cover on the bottom that has roll separator/supports. Flat corrugated cardboard with separator/supports is placed between each layer of finished roll stock. The over-all height of the pallet will not exceed 60 inches. Corner supports for top and side of the pallet will be added in order to allow double stacking of finished product at destination warehouse(s). Manufacturer may suggest or recommend another technique to preserve the integrity of the material as well as the finished pallet. This recommendation is to be provided with submittals to the Project Officer.)
