PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Campbell Tract Facility Snow Plowing

1. Scope of Work The Contractor shall provide comprehensive snow plowing and removal services for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Campbell Tract Facility located in Anchorage, Alaska. The Campbell Tract Facility houses multiple critical agency operations, including the Anchorage District Office (ADO), Anchorage Field Office (AFO), Campbell Creek Science Center (CCSC), South Zone Aviation Dispatch, and the main warehouse (collectively referred to as CTF). Continuous, reliable access across the property is vital to maintaining uninterrupted administrative, emergency response, and aviation operations throughout the winter season. The Contractor shall provide all labor, equipment, materials, supervision, and tools necessary to perform comprehensive snow plowing and removal services at the CTF.

The objective of this contract is to maintain safe, unobstructed vehicle and pedestrian access during winter weather events. Services shall be performed for a base yearly period and four (4) consecutive one-year option periods.

2. General Requirements

· Performance Standard: The Contractor shall monitor weather conditions and automatically initiate services to ensure all paved areas, sidewalks, and walkways are cleared to bare pavement as weather conditions permit.

· Operational Planning: Prior to the start of each winter season, the Contractor shall meet with the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) to review and confirm the Annual Snow Removal Plan identifying priority clearing areas, designated snow-piling points, and equipment lists.

· Contractor Equipment & Qualifications: Contractor shall possess and maintain all equipment necessary to perform the required services and must demonstrate a satisfactory record of past performance.

· Site Check-In/Check-Out: The Contractor shall notify the COR via electronic communication upon arrival at the site to begin operations, and upon completion of work.

3. Hours of Operations & Response Thresholds

· Automatic Response: Plowing operations shall commence automatically, without government notification, when overnight snow accumulation reaches two (2) inches on level surfaces by 2:00 AM. All priority 1 areas must be completely cleared before 6:00 AM , Monday through Friday.

· Business Hours Operations: If snow accumulation reaches three (3) inches or more during standard business hours of 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM (Monday–Friday), or if heavy snowfall causes drifting of six (6) inches or more, the Contractor shall automatically initiate plowing and clearing operations to ensure pedestrian and vehicle safety.

· Government Self-Performance & Coordination: If the Contractor fails to clear designated areas by 6:00 AM, or during business hours when accumulation exceeds three (3) inches, the Government reserves the right to self-perform snow removal. In such events, the Contractor must coordinate with the COR before arriving on site for subsequent clearing or off hours/next day plowing.

· Additional Services: The COR may request additional snow removal services at the established firm-fixed contract unit/bid rate if weather or safety conditions warrant.

4. Specific Performance Specifications

· Traffic Control Warning Signs: Before initiating work, the Contractor shall place a temporary warning sign reading "Snow Removal in Progress" (or equivalent COR-approved language) on the CTF entry road. Signs must comply with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and must be promptly removed when operations cease.

· Service Areas: Plowing and clearing shall encompass the full width of all paved roads, parking lots, accessible (ADA/handicap) parking spaces, entrances, steps, landings, and sidewalks.

· Contractor Staging/Storage Area: If needed, a location on site will be made available for the contractor to stage or store equipment and supplies. Any area will be outside. Heated or covered storage is not available.

· Detailed Clearing Requirements:

· Plowing/Shoveling: Clear snow from the front of all garage doors, card access points (pedestrian and vehicular), and fuel station concrete island slabs (from the tank to the slab edge).

· Hand Shoveling: Hand shovel a three-foot (3') radius around all fire hydrants, dumpsters, gate controllers, and bollards.

· Off-Site Pushing Restrictions: Due to driveway configurations, snow shall be plowed from Elmore Road onto BLM property. No snow shall be pushed or blown onto adjacent private properties or public road rights-of-way.

· Snow Storage & Stockpiling:

· Snow shall only be stockpiled in designated areas as identified on the attached site maps (Appendix 1).

· The Contractor shall coordinate with the COR in advance before utilizing any non-mapped areas for snow storage due to sensitive environmental zones on site.

· If local stockpiling areas reach capacity, off-site snow hauling shall be performed strictly under a separate, pre-priced Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) unit rate for cubic-yard off-site disposal authorized by the COR.

· Drainage Systems: The Contractor shall clear snow from all on-site catch basins when exposed during routine plowing to prevent flooding and allow adequate runoff during melting cycles.

· Environmental Protection: No snow other elements shall be dumped or piled onto shrubs, grass, or landscaped flower beds.

· Debris Clearing: The Contractor shall police and remove all trash and debris from the active work areas prior to commencing snow plowing, and is site dumpsters.
