Introduction

The building Infrastructure Services (IS) department is responsible for operating and maintaining buildings on the Argonne National Laboratory campus. In conjunction with the Project Management Organization (PMO), the Sustainability Group, the Facilities (FAC) group, and the Environmental, Safety, and Health Division (ES&H), IS has been tasked with operating buildings as energy efficiently and safely as possible. The services requested below for ASHRAE Standard 110 fume hood testing and airside/waterside system balancing will help Argonne National Lab achieve these goals established.

Scope of Work

1. Initial Tasks

a. Post Award Meeting Five working days following contract award, meet with Argonne to discuss contract details. At this meeting, discuss a process for authorizing, changing, invoicing, and closing specific assignments issued under the Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA). Also at the meeting obtain copies of Argonne’s drawing and document numbering standards and templates.

b. Job Safety Analysis (JSA) At the Post Award Meeting discuss with Argonne the types of work tasks contemplated under this contract that will involve field investigation and data collection and the requirements for completing a High Risk Job Safety Analysis (Argonne Form ANL-209H). See Argonne High Risk Work by Contractors on the Argonne Site Supplemental Conditions, ANL-366L for further information.

2. Recurring Tasks

The following tasks are frequently required for most BPA assignments. Some minor requirements may be occasionally waived, at Argonne’s discretion, depending on project specific circumstances.

· Respond to Specific Assignment Request – To begin the process, Argonne will send a scope of work containing sufficient information for the consultant to begin preparing a scope, schedule, and cost estimate.

· The consultant will respond to Argonne by preparing a proposal containing the task scope of work, schedule and estimated cost.

· Following acceptance of the proposal by both parties, Argonne will issue a specific assignment and the consultant will obtain a Job Safety Analysis (JSA). The type of JSA required will vary depending on the task depicted in each individual Call.

· Call Scope of Work Tasks (refer to the following section for a comprehensive list)

· Argonne National Laboratory utilizes the Earned Value Management System to assess project performance. Because of this, ANL requires the Consultant to submit a “billing profile” projecting invoicing throughout the duration of the project.

· For any tools required to perform testing of building systems, Argonne National Laboratory requires a Tool Inspection procedure to take place. ANL’s Project Manager assigned will provide more information to the Consultant in order to ensure compliance.

Scope of Work Task

Argonne National Laboratory may issue individual Calls for one or more of the services depicted in the following list.
