PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Performance Work Statement (PWS) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Multiple Award Task Order Contracts (MATOCs) For Macro

Artifact Restoration and Conservation

C-1 INTRODUCTION

This is a non-personal services IDIQ MATOC to provide restoration and conservation services for macro-scale historical artifacts owned by the US Army's Center of Military History Army Museum Enterprise (AME). The Government shall neither supervise contractor employees nor control the method by which the contractor performs the required tasks. Under no circumstances shall the Government assign tasks to, or prepare work schedules for, individual contractor employees. It shall be the responsibility of the contractor to manage its employees and to guard against any actions that are of the nature of personal services or give the perception of personal services. If the contractor believes that any actions constitute, or are perceived to constitute personal services, it shall be the contractor's responsibility to notify the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) immediately. As this is an AME-wide initiative and an IDIQ MATOC, it is within the individual Task Orders where specific details will be provided for work to be performed upon each macro-artifact (planes, helicopters, tanks, trucks, etc.).

C-1.1 Description of Services

The contractor shall provide services related to the cosmetic restoration, condition stabilization, hazardous materials abatement (if required), and limited general repair of macro-scale Army Artifact Collection items owned by the AME. All such work shall be performed in accordance with (IAW) actions defined in the PWS, governing Army Regulation such as AR 870-20 and AR 870-5, and in keeping with best museum practices. The contractor shall furnish, upon receipt of an individual Task Order award, all the necessary services to restore all macro-scale historical artifacts. The contractor shall perform all work to the standards of the current museum industry pertaining to restoration of macro-scale artifacts. Additionally, all work may be required to be performed in-situ, in an enclosed area, or in an area accessible by museum patrons and staff, requiring coordination and compliance with various installation commands and related environmental and/or safety offices/departments. The site locations for performance will be identified in each Task Order.

Work will include the complete exterior cosmetic refurbishment and restoration of the macro artifact(s) and may also include the partial or complete refurbishment and restoration of interior spaces as well. This will most often require the preparation of exterior (and interior, if required) surfaces for repainting and re-marking through the removal of failed paint and coatings. New primer, paint and markings of period-correct color, material formulation, and application scheme will only be applied to the artifact once all surfaces to be refinished have been prepared properly. The contractor will commit to preserving and re-using as much original historical material from the artifact as possible in order to preserve the artifact's historical integrity to the greatest extent possible. Purpose-made and period-manufactured replacement parts may be considered on a per-case basis, with prior notification and authorization received from AME COR and Curatorial SME personnel. Exceptions may be made in the case of tires, rubber components, natural materials, or any other perishable material type that may no longer exist as replacement parts or materials. Such exceptions will only be authorized on a per-case basis.

As part of the restoration and stabilization process, additional work may be required to abate and remove hazardous materials and/or elements from the artifact's materials and subsystems. Such abatable materials may include petroleum, oil, and/or lubricants (POLs); lead acid or other batteries; ionizing radiological sources and materials, such as Radium paint, Tritium, and/or Cesium; pressurized fire suppression systems and elements; main and support weapons systems; and other materials that could pose a hazard to museum patrons and staff members.

All materials identified as hazardous and/or requiring removal and disposal shall be approved by the AME COR and Curatorial SME personnel prior to removal and disposition, without exception. A list of such materials shall be provided to the AME COR for review as early in the restoration process as possible to provide sufficient time for review in accordance with IAW CDRL A001.

All personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, required items and non-personal services necessary to perform all work that is defined as part of this or a provided artifact-specific supplemental Performance Work Statement, except for those items specified as Government furnished property and services, shall be the responsibility of the vendor. AME curatorial staff will provide technical assistance with publications and documents to assist the contractor in the refurbishment/restoration process upon request, if such items are schemes and methods used during the artifact's time of service. Additionally, the contractor will complete all requirements and gain approval of mandated environmental and safety offices prior to contractor initiating on-site work. Documentation and reference materials will be furnished to the contractor, if available. This will include information related to period-correct paint formulations, and application methods.

C-1.2 Background

AME exhibits and maintains in excess of 569,000 individual artifacts ranging in size from lapel pins to main battle tanks and aircraft. Of particular importance are the macro-scale artifacts maintained as part of this artifact collection.

These macro artifacts are usually of high interest to the museum going public, and also serve as engineering and training references for engineers, design specialists, academicians and instructors. The AME is mandated by Army Regulation 870-20 and supplemental conservation directive documents to preserve these large-scale artifacts in as close to original, services-related condition as possible. However, due to the delicate and complex nature of these macro artifacts, combined with the deteriorating effects of exhibition and storage environments, occasional restoration and refurbishment may be required.

C-1.3 Objectives

The objective of this contract is to provide for an IDIQ MATOC that will accommodate the cosmetic restoration of up to 73 macro artifacts as part of various Task Order restoration projects that are currently pending or are anticipated to be needed in the near future. These artifacts are currently located at various AME institutions and locations within the United States. The tasks required to complete identified refurbishment/restoration projects by the contractor include, but are not limited to; surface cleaning; abatement of all fluids such as petroleum/oil/lubricants (to include fuel and hydraulic fluids); removal and disposal of any and all hazmat material such as batteries, fire suppression systems, etc. (if present); removal, refurbishment and reinstallation of parts and components as required and as authorized; photo-document all markings, colors and schemes present on the exterior prior to surface preparation and failed coating/paint removal and, if required, interior surfaces in order to ensure proper restoration; preparation of all exterior surfaces for restoration through the removal of failed paint, coatings, and markings as necessary; and repainting and re-marking the artifact using period-correct materials, methods and marking schemes.

The contractor shall identify any radiation sources which will need to be fully encapsulated and clearly marked as posing a radiation hazard or, if authorized, removed and disposed of in accordance with all Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and any applicable US Army regulations and requirements, such as OSHA Standard for Disposal of Ionizing Radiation 1910.1096 and US Army Regulation 11-9.

Any and all hazardous material removed from the artifacts as part of surface preparation and abatement processes must be collected and disposed of in accordance with appropriate regulations such as OSHA Standard for General Industry (29 CFR 1910) and US Army Technical Manual TM 38-410. Once surface preparation and abatement are complete the contractor will repaint and re-mark the artifact using appropriate methods and materials. If previously authorized, the contractor may repair or replace any parts or systems that are heavily deteriorated, though such removals and repairs will only take place after thorough review by AM Curatorial SME staff. If authorized, the contractor shall clean interior surfaces, remove failed surface coatings, and repaint/re-mark as required. If present, contractor shall service or replace tires, similar rubber components, or natural material components only with prior Curatorial Subject Matter Expert (SME) authorization. Once completed, these services will restore the artifact to its original period appearance and cosmetic condition.

C-1.4 Scope

The contractor shall work closely with AME Curatorial staff during the refurbishment and restoration process of the artifact(s) being restored. The contractor shall provide all tasks defined in the PWS while observing all local, State and Federal regulatory requirements for the abatement and removal of toxic and/or hazardous materials and paint.

The contractor shall also adhere to pertinent installation requirements IAW applicable DoD and Army regulatory requirements and ensure accordance with AME requirements as they are written in AR 870-20 and AR 870-5. A site visit shall take place to evaluate and inspect the conditions of artifact(s) to be restored, as well as the facility or location where work is to be performed prior to the selection of an offeror and the issuance of the Task Order.

C-1.5 General Information

C-1.5.1 Quality Control

The contractor shall develop and maintain an effective quality control (QC) program to ensure services are performed IAW this and any supplemental PWs. The contractor shall develop and implement procedures to identify, prevent, and ensure non-recurrence of defective services. The contractor's QC program is the means by which he assures himself his work complies with the requirement of the contract. As a minimum, the contractor shall develop QC procedures addressing the areas identified in the "Performance Requirements Summary." IAW CDRL A002, after acceptance of the QC plan, the contractor shall receive the PCO's acceptance in writing of any proposed change to his QC system within 14 days of submission.

C-1.5.2 Quality Assurance

The Government shall monitor and evaluate the contractor's progress and performance under this contract IAW the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP).

C-1.5.6 Security Requirements

C-1.5.6.1 ACCESS AND GENERAL PROTECTION/SECRUITY POLICY AND PROCEDURES.

(a) The contractor and all associated subcontractors’ employees shall comply with applicable installation, facility, and area commander installation and facility access and local security policies and procedures (provided by the Government representative). The contractor shall also provide all information required for background checks to meet installation access requirements to be accomplished by the installation Provost Marshal Office, Director of Emergency Services, or Security Office. The contractor workforce must comply with all personal identity verification requirements (FAR clause 52.204-9 “Personal Identity Verification of contractor Personnel”) as directed by DOD, HQDA, and/or local policy. In addition to the changes otherwise authorized by the changes clause of this contract, should the Force Protection Condition (FPCON) at any individual facility or installation change, the Government may require changes in contractor security matters or processes.

(b) For contractors requiring Common Access Card (CAC): Before CAC issuance, the contractor employee requires, at a minimum, a favorably adjudicated National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI) or an equivalent or higher investigation IAW Army Directive 2014-05. The contractor employee will be issued a CAC only if duties involve one of the following: (1) Both physical access to a DoD facility and access, via logon, to DoD networks on-site or remotely; (2) Remote access, via logon, to a DoD network using DoD-approved remote access procedures; or

(3) Physical access to multiple DoD facilities or multiple non-DoD federally controlled facilities on behalf of the DoD on a recurring basis for a period of six (6) months or more. At the discretion of the sponsoring activity, an initial CAC may be issued on a favorable review of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) fingerprint check and a successfully scheduled NACI at the Office of Personal Management.

(c) For contractors that do not require CAC, but require access to a DOD facility or installation: contractor and all associated sub-contractor employees shall comply with adjudication standards, and procedures using the National Crime Information Center Interstate Identification Index (NCIC-III) and Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB) (Army Directive 2014-05/AR 190-13), applicable installation, facility and area commander installation/facility access and local security policies and procedures elsewhere in Section C; and Non-disclosure Statement. For OCONUS locations, refer to the Status of Forces Agreement and other theater regulations.

C-1.5.6.2 Key Control

The contractor shall establish and implement methods of making sure all keys/key cards issued to the contractor by the Government are not lost or misplaced and are not used by unauthorized persons. (Note: All references to keys include key cards.) No keys issued to the contractor by the Government shall be duplicated. The contractor shall develop procedures covering key control that shall be included in the QC plan. Such procedures shall include turn-in of any issued keys by personnel who no longer require access to locked areas. The contractor shall immediately report any occurrences of lost or duplicate keys to the KO. In the event keys other than master keys are lost or duplicated, the contractor shall, upon direction of the PCO, re-key or replace the affected lock or locks; however, the Government, at its option, may replace the affected lock or locks or perform re-keying. When the replacement of locks or re-keying is performed by the Government, the total cost of re-keying or the replacement of the lock or locks shall be deducted from the monthly payment due to the contractor.

C-1.5.6.3 Physical Security

The contractor shall be responsible for safeguarding all Government property provided for contractor use. At the close of each work period, Government facilities, equipment, and materials shall be secured.

C-1.5.7 Special Qualifications

Each of the contractor personnel performing restoration work on the macro-scale historical artifacts is required to possess a valid Government issued photo Identification for entry onto each installation, unless otherwise noted. The contractor shall be prepared to provide information on personnel performing the delivery and installation at the military installation in keeping with each installation’s regulatory requirements governing access and security.

C-1.5.8 Post Award Conference/Periodic Progress Meetings

The contractor agrees to attend any post award/ kick off meeting conference convened by the contracting activity or contract administration office IAW Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 42.5. The PCO, Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), and other Government personnel, as appropriate, may meet periodically with the contractor to review the contractor's performance. At these meetings, the PCO will apprise the contractor of how the Government views the contractor's performance and the contractor will apprise the Government of problems, if any, being experienced. Appropriate action shall be taken to resolve outstanding issues. These meetings shall be at no additional cost to the Government.

C-1.5.9 Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR)

The COR will be identified by a separate letter. The COR monitors all aspects of the contract and assists in contract administration. The COR is authorized to perform the following functions: assure that the contractor performs the technical requirements of the contract; perform inspections necessary in connection with contract performance;

maintain written and oral communications with the contractor concerning technical aspects of the contract; issue written interpretations of technical requirements, including Government drawings, designs, and specifications;

monitor the contractor's performance and notify both the Contracting Officer and contractor of any deficiencies;

coordinate availability of Government furnished property; and provide site entry of contractor personnel. A letter of designation issued to the COR, a copy of which is sent to the contractor, states the responsibilities and limitations of the COR, especially with regard to changes in cost or price and estimates or changes in delivery dates. The COR is not authorized to change any of the terms and conditions of the resulting contract.

C-1.5.10 Key Personnel

The contractor shall provide a contract manager who shall be responsible for the performance of the work. The name of this person and an alternate who shall act for the contractor when the manager is absent shall be designated in writing to the PCO and COR. The contract manager or alternate shall have full authority to act for the contractor on all contract matters relating to daily operation of this contract. The contract manager or alternate shall be available during established working hours Monday thru Friday except Federal holidays or when the Government facility is closed for administrative reasons.

C-1.5.11 Identification of Contractor Employees

All contract personnel attending meetings or working in other situations where their contractor status is not obvious to third parties are required to identify themselves as such to avoid creating an impression in the minds of members of the public that they are Government officials. The contractor shall accomplish this through the issuance of identification badges for all contract personnel providing work on-site. Badges must be worn to be visible at all times and must clearly identify the name of the individual, the contractor’s company name, the date of the issuance and the date of expected expiration, which shall coincide with the anticipated Contract completion date. The contractor must also ensure that all documents or reports produced by contractors are suitably marked as contractor products or that contractor participation is appropriately disclosed. Personnel will be required to obtain required documentation for entry onto the base each day.

C-1.5.12 Contractor Travel contractor travel to and from the established work location will be the responsibility of the contractor.

C-1.6 Period of Performance

Period of Performance will be cited within the Individual Task Order.

C-5 SPECIFIC TASKS

C-5.1 Basic Services

The contractor shall provide services for:

C-5.1.1 Project Schedule

The contractor shall prepare and present to COR a proposed project schedule, complete with meeting and milestone dates, for COR approval IAW CDRL A003. contractor shall, during the course of the project, track the project to see that the project remains on schedule.

C-5.1.2 Artifact Photo-documentation

The contractor shall fully and comprehensively photo-document all surfaces to be prepared and restored as part of the restoration process. This will ensure that any remnants of original markings or paint/coatings will be recorded and available for reference once surface preparation has been completed. These reference photos may assist greatly with the later re- application or paint/coatings and markings once that process has commenced. All such photos and documentary records created as part of this process will be provided to the AME and the contract COR as part of a comprehensive post-restoration report for each artifact restored IAW CDRL A004. This report will become part of each artifact's historical property record and will therefore be available for reference and review by future curatorial staff.

C-5.1.3 Artifact Surface Cleaning and Preparation

The contractor shall undertake the full cleaning of all exterior artifact surfaces in advance of any required coating removal. On a per-case basis, similar work may be required for interior surfaces as well. Initial surface cleaning and preparation will be performed prior to any succeeding steps in order to best determine the physical condition of the artifact, locate and note any areas of particular challenge related to deterioration or other issue, and ensure that historic materials will be preserved to the greatest extent possible during the surface coating removal and repainting preparation processes.

C-5.1.4 Artifact Abatement

If required and authorized, the contractor shall undertake the abatement of all hazardous materials that should be performed. This may include the removal and capture of potentially toxic fluids such as petroleum/oil/lubricants (POLs); the removal and proper disposal of batteries of all types; the removal and/or depressurization of pressurized fire suppression systems (determined on a per- case basis); encapsulation and marking (or removal if authorized) of all radiological sources and materials, such as Radium paint, Tritium, and/or Cesium; the demilitarization and safing of main and support weapons systems (if present); and removal or identification of other materials that could pose a hazard to museum patrons and staff.

C-5.1.5 Artifact Failed Coating Removed

The contractor shall fully and properly prepare all exterior (and interior, if required) surfaces for repainting and re-marking through the removal of failed paint and coatings, as well as surface corrosion and debris, if present. While it is desirable to retain as much original materials and components as possible, it is also understood that the failure of original or replacement paint and coatings often leads to the need for cosmetic restoration. This being the case, the contractor shall use a method(s) of surface paint/coating removal and preparation appropriate to the task of fully preparing the underlying substrate material for the re-application and re-marking of paint, coatings and markings. It should be noted that artifacts of this type are very rare, often one-of-a-kind, and great care must be taken to induce no damage to any part of the artifact. All work must be completed in accordance with all Federal, State, and local environmental and safety regulations. All work must be completed in a manner which allows for 100% material collection upon removal. Any such paint/coating removal methods and materials proposed must be authorized by the contract COR and AME Curatorial SMEs before such work can commence. Any method used should fully remove all paint/coatings and properly prepare all surfaces for new coating application.

C-5.1.6 Limited Parts Removal and Refurbishment

If required and authorized, the contractor may remove, refurbish and reinstall historic parts, components and materials. If parts or components are deemed to be too deteriorated to be reasonably restored, period-manufactured replacement parts of the exact same fit, finish and construction may be considered on a per-case basis. If no such parts or components are available, alternatives may be considered to include new fabrication of parts/components to replicate the original historic material as closely as possible (in-kind repair), assuming original materials and fabrication methods are replicated as closely as possible to the original. All such fabricated parts must be created using as close to original materials and methods of manufacture as possible, and all must be clearly marked as non-original and documented in the artifact's permanent record. In rare cases, damaged parts or components may be considered for use as a positive mold for resin casting as part of the creation of a 1-for-1 replica part that can be made to appear exactly like the original. No such repair or replacement will be performed unless explicitly authorized by the contract COR and AME Curatorial SME personnel. Replacement of tires, rubber components, plastic, or other natural or synthetic materials may be considered on a per-case basis, though only after consultation with and approval of the contract COR. Only period-original or, if unavailable, period-correct replacement materials may be used if replacement is authorized. Under no circumstances will the contractor undertake any part/component/material removal without first notifying the COR and AME SMEs of the need to do so and receiving authorization to proceed.

C-5.1.7 Primer, Surface Coating and Marking Reapplication

Once all surfaces to be cosmetically restored have been prepared, the contractor shall apply new paint and markings of period-correct color, material formulation, and application scheme to all surfaces being cosmetically restored.

Correct Federal Standard colors and markings appropriate for the era being represented by the artifact must be used, and all primer and paint formulations must similarly match paint formulations used when the artifact was in active Army service. Authenticity and historical integrity are paramount as part of any cosmetic restoration, and as such only original materials and methods will be authorized. Deviations or substitutions may be considered on a per-case basis, though no such change or substitution is to be performed without express authorization from the contract

COR.

C-5.1.8 Final Written and Photographic Completion Report

Upon completion and approval of all restoration work performed, the contractor shall provide to the COR a detailed photographic and written report to fully document restoration of the artifact(s) IAW CDRL A005. As work progresses, photos must be taken to document the process and progress made, and all such photos and written reports will be included in the final post-restoration report provided by the contractor to AME personnel. All such photographs and written records will become part of each restored artifact's permanent historical property record so that all work performed, and methods and materials used, will be preserved for review by future curatorial personnel.
