STATEMENT OF WORK

FIRE VEHICLE OUTFITTING

SCOPE

The Forest Service Fleet Management is seeking to establish a Firm-Fixed Price, Indefinite

Quantity/Indefinite Delivery contract to outfit fire emergency support vehicles using Region 5 and

National Fire equipment standards.

This contract will be primarily for the Shasta Trinity, Mendocino, Lassen and National Forests.

Other forest with in Northern California may add vehicles. Outfitting the vehicle requires various type of work depending on the vehicle and the needs of the agency but may include installation of light bars, siren packages, radio and antenna and special striping and marking per Forest Service specifications. The vehicles to be outfitted are a mix of makes and models of pickups and SUVs, though they all need essentially similar work to be outfitted as emergency vehicles. Additionally, vehicles may vary on the components that need to be installed. Some work also includes removal of the same type of equipment from vehicles that are scheduled for replacement.

The government is seeking a contractor able to supply and install all components (may also include government furnished components) in accordance with Forest Service specifications. The contractor shall perform the installation within a reasonable traveling distance from Redding, Susanville or Willows in order for the government to deliver and pickup vehicles and inspect the services. A single award is anticipated but up to two awards may be made.

The awarded Contractor(s) shall perform the required work items in accordance with the manufacturer(s) specifications following commercial practices in a professional and workman-like manner. Successful fulfillment of all contract requirements will ensure that the correct items are installed safely and perform as required. Skill in integration of all components allowing simultaneous use is important. Additionally, skill in minimizing changes to the existing vehicle on installation is desired. All electrical components installed shall be a stand-alone system so as not to interfere with, or void, warranties from the vehicle manufacturer(s).

The Government has specified brand-name or equal for some of the required equipment to be installed because of uniformity requirements with respect to form, fit, function and interoperability. The clause at Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.211-6 Brand Name or

Equal is included in the contract.

The government will order a minimum of 7 vehicles outfitted up to a .maximum of 45 vehicles per contract during the contract period of performance. Some new vehicles are· available currently to be outfitted and the other new vehicles have not arrived. The contract schedule of items includes the variety of tasks that are contemplated under this contract tasks but individual needs vary depending on the vehicle and government requirements and may include one sub item up to all items. For price evaluation purposes a schedule of items for tasks for a pickup and SUV are included. The work for these two vehicles may be ordered as an initial order on this contract.

Minor modification of pricing may occur to the contract schedule of items if installation requirements change significantly due to different model vehicles requiring new or revised installation methods or products.

PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE

(A) The contract will be effective from Date of Award for 18 months.

(B) Performance requirements shall be specified in each individual Task Order issued under the terms of this contract. Individual Task Order performance periods will be specified on the Task

Order. Normally contract time will be the standard time as defined in the contract or as proposed by the contractor (if shorter).

CONTRACT TIME PER VEHICLE

Contract time authorized per task is to be no more than 14 calendar days per vehicle. However, contract time is negotiable and is an evaluation factor in this solicitation. Contract time per vehicle will be established at time of award to be the standard for each task unless changed in writing by the government.

DELIVERY AND PICKUP

The Government will pick-up and deliver all vehicles to the contractor's designated service location when individual orders are placed.

INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE

The Government may perform periodic inspections of vehicle outfitting during the installation process. Inspection and acceptance will occur at the contractor's service location.

Inspections performed by Government personnel are for purposes of payment and acceptance. The

Contractor is responsible for self-inspection and maintaining work to the standards required in the specifications.

WORK STANDARDS

The Contractor shall exercise care in work methods to prevent damage to any vehicle provided under this contract.

All work under this contract shall be performed in a skillful and workmanlike manner. The

Contractor shall be responsible for maintaining satisfactory standards of employee competency and conduct, and shall be responsible for all employee actions.

WORKMANSHIP AND PRODUCT WARRANTY

The contractor shall provide at a 90 day minimum warranty for defects on installation of new components, wiring, connectors and decals. Manufacturer’s warranties for all components shall be transferable to the government

A longer warranty time for installation, materials and defects is desired and is a consideration in the evaluation and award of this contract. If the contractor proposes a longer warranty period then that warranty period will become the warranty period of any resulting contract.

WIRING REQUIREMENTS:

1. Main power supply, ground, and auxiliary wiring and connections shall be properly sized to accommodate the required amp load of the specified circuit.

2. Main power supply should not be connected directly to the battery. An OEM power buss shall be utilized for the main power supply whenever possible. A heavy duty manual re-set circuit breaker shall be installed as close to this buss as possible to minimize the unprotected portion of the main power circuit.

3. All accessories shall be installed with electronic timer for protection of electronic equipment that turns off after 4 hours of the ignition being turned off. 1 momentary switch shall be installed as a reset to the system so ignition does not have to be turned on to reactivate system.

4. All electrical components installed shall have an auxiliary fuse panel that all electrical components shall be routed through and have proper fuses and other needed protection installed.

Electrical components shall be properly identified and included in wiring schematics.

5. Wiring shall be routed and/or protected to eliminate exposure to moving parts, heat, moisture, debris, abrasion and chafing. All wiring shall be properly loomed with proper grommets/protection when passing through metal or other hard and/or sharp /and/or abrasive materials. Wiring shall be color coded and function labeled. All wiring supplied and installed by the contractor shall be grease, oil and moisture resistant; and shall be securely fastened with insulated metal clamps and nylon wire ties.

6. All components shall have service loops providing access during inspection and maintenance.

7. All wiring and connectors shall be installed in accordance to manufacturer’s specifications. All connections shall be either soldered and sealed or solder less insulated terminal and butt connectors shall be utilized at all connection end and splice joints and shall be properly crimped to ensure a solid clamping force to maintain electrical integrity. All connectors shall be enclosed with weatherproof heat shrink tubing so as to prevent corrosion or degrading of connection and/or integrity.

8. When the installation of all equipment is complete, a test will be made to ensure there is no parasitic load on the main battery(s) when the ignition key is in the off position and the electronic timer has timed out.

9. A properly sized dedicated ground strap shall be utilized to ground the console to an electrically sound ground source. All grounding points shall be free of paint and other coatings to ensure a good metal to metal connection. All connections shall be sealed to prevent corrosion.

10. All wiring supplies shall be provided by the Contractor.

11. Equipment Installation Manuals: Any installation manuals or copies thereof shall be provided to the Government prior to acceptance of the work.
