3. Alteration of this SABER General SOW

This SABER General Statement of Work (SGSOW) may be altered by mutual agreement between Government and

Contractor. The “Government” in this case is the Contracting Officer. A Task Order (TO) cannot be used to modify the SGSOW.

The Contracting Officer is the only person that can approve changes to a TO or to the SGSOW.

Statements contained in Meeting Minutes, email messages, acknowledgements or agreements with such statements are not binding unless approved by the Contracting Officer and included in a TO or TO Modification..

4. Description of Work

4.1. This SGSOW is for an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract for Design-Build projects at Columbus Air Force Base (CAFB), MS including its auxiliary airfield in Shuqualak, MS. Upon award of the SABER contract, the Contractor is allowed 10 days to get setup as necessary and be ready to begin effectively performing job duties at CAFB and Shuqualak Auxiliary Field. During the SABER contract period:

a. The Base Civil Engineer (BCE) will identify Design and Construction projects with TOs.

b. The Government will issue a Task Order Proposal Request (TOPR) for each TO.

c. Each TO will include a project-specific SOW, supplemental information and may also include Design

Concept Drawings.

d. For each TOPR, the Contractor must propose a scope, cost, and duration and negotiate these to mutual agreement with the Government (see Attachment 3 TO Procedures). The Contractor is allowed 10 days to prepare for and respond to each TOPR. This period can be extended if necessary for more complex

Task Orders. The Contractor must request a time extension from the CO if needed.

e. If funding is available, the Government may award a TO.

f. The Contractor must provide complete Design and Construction services to complete each TO according to industry recognized Best Practice.

g. The Contractor must maintain one or more management offices on CAFB to facilitate construction management.

4.2. Provide all Design and Construction services for each TO including:

a. Surveys, excavations, soil borings and analyses, soil density tests, chemical, laboratory, pressure, electrical, corrosion and cathodic protection tests, and any other tests required for the complete Design and Construction of each TO.

b. Obtain all necessary permits.

c. Provide all required services, materials, products, supervision, and quality control inspections.

d. Site visits for construction duration of each TO are required to ensure construction progress accords with contract schedule.

4.3. The Contractor will Design and Build a range of work on CAFB real property including renovation, demolition, repair, addition, and new construction.

a. Design work includes work normally done by Design Professionals (DPs), e.g. studies, design charrettes, analyses, Concept Design, Schematic Design, Design Development, Specifications, and

Construction Documents preparation.

b. Build work includes: management and supervision of subcontractors, trades, building materials, quality control, labor, materials, equipment, and tools.

c. Probable types of work include:

New design and construction of buildings and structures;

Maintenance, repair or alteration of existing buildings, structures, roads, grounds, and roofs;

specialty construction; utilities including fuel systems;

Miscellaneous services including asbestos or lead removal.

4.4. This SGSOW is not all-inclusive. Each individual TO SOW may provide more definition and explanation.

5. Design

Provide complete and functional design and construction services within the awarded contract cost. The

Contractor must be financially and technically responsible for resolving any design or construction errors or omissions. CAFB will not accept requests for additional funds except those caused by project scope change(s) or unforeseen site conditions as described in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR).

Design Professionals: Provide Design Professionals (DPs) of Record including Architects, Structural, Mechanical, Plumbing, Electrical, Civil and Fire Protection Engineers, and related drafting and surveying professionals throughout design and construction as required for each TO.

Construction Documents (CDs) must comply with letter and intent of all requirements set forth in documents including: this SGSOW, each TO SOW and Contract, and applicable Government requirements, building codes and governing authorities including the Standards and References identified in Section 15 herein.

The Contractor must maintain full and continuous disclosure to the DPs of this SGSOW and each TO

SOW and Modifications. For all TOs and Modifications, DPs must identify the work requiring their seal and signature, and that work (CDs, etc.) must be developed, signed and sealed by the DPs.

TOPR CD’s & Added Value: for each TO the Government will issue a TOPR to include one or more of the following: the TO SOW, Government Furnished Design (GFD) Drawings not to exceed 35%, CD-

ROMs, and Design, Construction, Inspection, Testing, Environmental or Quality Control requirements.

GFDs are conceptual: the Contractor must add ample value to a GFD through CDs to ensure quality construction. The TOPR and SGSOW are guides for the Contractor to develop the design and create CDs that embody the CD Properties described below. The CDs must prefigure, dimension and annotate TO designs with drawings and specifications that describe the project nature and extent to the Government’s satisfaction.

5.1. Construction Document Properties:

Government evaluation criteria include the following:

a. Completeness: CDs must have all drawings, elevations, plans, sections, details and specifications necessary for verification by Government (or independent) inspection. A CD must not allow multiple interpretations of itself. Anything to be built in the TO must be shown in the drawings. Any unfinished part of a CD must be completed by reference to other CD parts (e.g., if a wall section does not show how the top of the wall is supported; some detail or other drawing in the set showing the top-of-wall support must exist and be referenced).

b. Independence: The Government will not use CDs developed under this General SOW to solicit bids.

However, if these CDs were to be used under other Government contracts, they should elicit close competitive bidding.

c. Consistency: Information in two or more CD parts must not contradict one another, e.g., an element shown in two distinct drawings must not be noted as one material in one drawing and a different material in the other drawing. Fully coordinate drawings to prevent conflicts e.g., do not show a sprinkler head within a light fixture on a Reflected Ceiling Plan.

d. Constructability: Accommodate the extra-geometric nature of CDs, e.g., precisely scaled CAD drawings can obliterate flashing overlaps, which must still be shown. Ambiguous constructability is unacceptable. CDs must make construction methods visible for Government review and construction inspection (e.g. brick courses shown on elevations must be scaled). CDs must prefigure and direct simply achievable, conventional construction: e.g., an air cavity behind face brick can be drawn at

1/4” wide, but a 3/4” cavity is easier to build. A 30° cast stone edge can be drawn, but is almost impossible to build.

e. Conformance: CDs must conform to all TO requirements including:

The TOPR of the TO [Description of Work] with all clarifications and modifications thereto approved by the CO.

The Design and Construction Requirements herein.

Architectural and Professional Engineering Drafting standards and practices.

The Documents subsection herein.

f. Rectifiable: If Contractor or Government discovers CD defects after 100% approval, whether the discovery was before or after the NTP was issued, the Contractor must immediately correct the defects. Corrections of CD defects must be submitted to the Government as soon as possible for review and approval. The Government must approve any corrections before they may be executed.

Corrections must not incur a Performance Period extension, Government expense, or Government liability.

5.2. Material Submittals and Shop Drawings:

a. A submittal is a package of project information, samples, drawings, schedules, certifications, etc., delivered to the Government for Submittal Review. A deviation is a submittal wherein the Contractor identifies item(s) that are in agreement with the intent of, but do not exactly conform to, the Contract

Documents. Item(s) in a deviation are requested substitution(s) which must be requested by the

Contractor to increase the delivered quality of the Task Order. A Submittal or Deviation of a system is deemed an integrated collection of component parts.

b. Purpose: Submittals formalize Government review of Contractor selections in complying with the CDs.

They also formalize the Contractor’s proposed Deviations, material and color options, shop drawings, etc. early enough in the construction process so changes have no impact on ordering of materials and products.

c. Accountability: The Contractor is liable for submittal contents. For each Submittal, the Contractor and

DPs must certify that submitted items are in conformance with the CDs, TO SOW, and S&R.

Government review or approval of a submittal is not a warranty of the Submittal’s accuracy or completeness. Nor does Government review or approval of a Submittal exempt or diminish Contractor liability for the Submittal

5.3. Design Submittals:

a. The Government will review Design Submittal documents including CDs, design analyses and cost estimates.

b. Each TO SOW may designate Submittal completion percentages and the durations between them.

Anticipated TO complexity and extent of required design documents determine the number of submittals needed. Each TO will require 35%, 65%, 95%, and 100% Submittals unless stated otherwise in the TO SOW.

c. The Government may deem a Submittal incomplete and return it to the Contractor without review.

d. If the Government deems a 95% Submittal incomplete, the Contractor must make further submittals and these will be 95%-A, 95%-B, etc. CDs will only be considered 100% after the Government approves the last 95% Submittal and the resulting 100% CDs.

5.4. Government Submittal Reviews:

a. Technical review of a Design Submittal begins when the Submittal is logged in by 14 CES.

b. A review business day begins at 7:30 AM. Submittals received at 14 CES after 9:30 AM are logged in at the beginning of the next business day.

c. To the extent practicable, Government reviews of 35%, 65%, and 95% Design Submittals will have the following durations (given in business days): 35% = 12; 65% = 18; and 95% = 18. However, these durations may be inadequate for some submittals, e.g. 14 CES may be required to obtain AFCEC review(s) or independent DP review of a Design Submittal.

d. To the extent practicable, the Government will review Material Submittals and Shop Drawings in less than 12 business days. However, this duration is inadequate for many submittals e.g. Structural Shop

Drawings, extensive Cabinet Shop Drawings, etc.

e. The Contractor must use utmost diligence to deliver Submittals at the earliest possible date to allow the

Government adequate review time. Government Submittal Review time will not be lessened due to an incomplete Design Submittal.

f. If the Government does not use all the available time for a review, the unused time may be carried over and used on one or more subsequent reviews.

g. The TO SOW may designate Government Submittal Review percentages and durations for that TO. If a

TO SOW does not designate Government Submittal Review percentages or durations, the above review percentages and periods will be used. Factors affecting review durations include TO complexity and anticipated number of design documents including drawings, specifications, analyses and cost estimates.

h. Liability for Design: The Contractor is exclusively liable for the Design of each TO.

i. The Contractor, by delivery of a Design Submittal for Government review, certifies that the Design meets: (1) the Best Practice professional judgment of the DPs; (2) the Government requirements set forth in the Concept Design and SOW; and (3) all design criteria, technical requirements, etc. in the

S&R (See Section 15).

j. Construction Documents: Ensure compliance of CDs with letter and intent of the RFP, SOW, CD

Properties (above) and applicable Design Criteria. All necessary information must be incorporated in drawings, specifications, and reports to the Government’s satisfaction.

k. Supplemental Documents: Show how critical design factors determine TO project CDs and construction by using supplemental documents including the following:

Reference Drawings

Maps

Design Analysis

Subsurface Data

Design Calculations

Geotechnical Reports

Cost Estimate

Concrete Compression Test Reports

l. Color Selection: See Color Selections in paragraph 5.6j.

m. Documents: Deliver all CD submittals, including 35%, 65%, 95%, 100% and As-Built, on both paper

(Hard Copy) and in *.DWG and *.PDF formats on a CD-ROM or DVD-RW (both designated as CD-

ROM). Only these are acceptable electronic file media. Provide the following for each progress presentation:

One bound Hard Copy set of drawings on D size (24”x36”) heavyweight white bond paper.

Provide additional sets (and sizes) as requested by the CO.

Before copying to CD-ROMs bind all X-refs to *.DWG files so each drawing is independent.

Publish drawings (sets) to both *.DWG and *.PDF file formats accessible by CAFB software.

Make *.PDF drawings full-size highest resolution with accessible layers using the latest version of Adobe Acrobat. Each drawing sheet plot must be setup to print identical to its corresponding hardcopy.

Plot drawings to scales that legibly differentiate all line weights including: line types, hatching, shading, dimensioning, arrows, and lettering. Plot scales must make visible all required construction information.

Use only Arial or standard AutoCAD™ fonts. Maintain a consistent drawing numbering scheme. Keep the number of layers to a minimum. Use only Imperial (English) units of measure.

Match the drawing sequence in the *.DWG and *.PDF files or folders to the hard copy drawing index.

Deliver the hard copies and CD-ROM to the Government at the same time.

Get the latest CAFB title block version from 14 CES (in *.DWG format) and use on all drawings.

For TO cover sheets, CEPM will provide Contractor with a CAFB map showing the general

TO locations. Contractor must show and annotate TO Locations, Haul Routes, Main Gate, South Gate, BCE-Bldg. 385, and other items as directed by the CEPM.

Make one copy each of other documents including specifications, tables, charts, schedules, and graphs in both *.PDF and originating software (unlocked, not password protected) file formats

(e.g. MS Excel or Word): copy one of each file in each format onto each CD-ROM.

Provide for As-Built Drawings: Hard Copy set(s) conforming to this Section, two CD-ROM disks each containing one set of PDF files conforming to this Section and one set of *.DWG files conforming to this Section. Add a folder to each CD-ROM containing one

AutoCAD™*.DWG file for each CD Drawing. Pre-set all *.DWG drawing plot viewport(s), layers, and line-types to exactly plot the corresponding Hard Copy sheet.

5.5. Record Drawings and Verification

a. The Government may provide only one copy of available TO relevant Record Drawings to the

Contractor in only one digital form (email, CD-ROM or DVD-RW). The Contractor must reproduce and distribute the drawings as necessary for design and construction.

b. Record Drawings given to the Contractor are without warranty, express or implied, of any kind including completeness or accuracy. The Contractor must field-investigate each TO site as necessary, including configurations, dimensions, locations, etc., since actual conditions may vary from what is shown on the Record Drawings.

c. Contractor negligence in the performance of field investigations and consequent design deficiencies will not exempt the Contractor from Design or Construction liability

5.6. Basic Conformance

a. For each TO, deliver material submittals to the CO within 30 days after the NTP for that TO has been issued. Failure to deliver submittals within this time constitutes basis for Progress Payment refusal by the CO until all submittals have been turned in to the CO.

b. Submittals must be accurate, legible, and include all detail and evidence necessary for a complete review. The Contractor must review, approve, stamp and sign each submittal before delivery to the CO.

DPs must review, approve, stamp and sign each submittal relevant to their profession. The Government may require Contractor DP review of any submittal.

c. The Government will normally require DP review (stamped and signed) of submittals, e.g. structural shop drawings and multi-disciplinary coordination, which are beyond the purview or technical expertise of CAFB.

d. Every submittal package and each individual shop-drawing sheet must bear appropriate stamps and approval signatures before delivery to the CO.

e. Each submittal must have a MAS form (AF Form 3000) attached. Upon review, the government will return one copy of each submittal with its MAS form marked to indicate approval or disapproval.

f. Each material must be submitted and approved before being ordered or used in any TO construction.

The Contractor must identify and locate required submittal materials including matching existing materials.

g. Quantity: Deliver one electronic and one hard copy of each submittal.

h. Submittal Log: For each TO, the Government will furnish a Schedule of Material Submittals (AF form

66) template (an MS-Excel file). The Contractor must complete the following, and only the following, fields: Item No.; Description; Specification Section Number; and Required Information (“X”); and submit the template (in both electronic and hard-copy 11”x17” format) to the CO within ten business days upon issuance of the NTP for that TO (for review and approval). During construction, update the

Log weekly with submittal delivery dates to the Government and Government review completion dates.

i. Material Approval Submittal (MAS): The CO will provide the Contractor with an MAS (AF Form

3000) template. Attach one MAS form (as the cover sheet) to each submittal. The TO Project Name must appear on the MAS form directly after the Project Number. The MAS “Submission Number” must be exactly the same as the corresponding “Item No.” in the Submittal Log. Exactly reference each submittal to either the specifications paragraph or drawing sheet number in which the submittal is required. Clearly mark a MAS form “DEVIATION” for any system or part thereof to which the

Deviation applies. Submit the Deviation to the CO for review.

j. Color Selections: Submit samples of each visible exterior or interior finish including: surfaces, materials, paint, fixtures, doors, frames, windows, glass, storefront, and hardware prior to ordering or installation. Together with an AF Form 3000, deliver to the CEPM samples of all manufacturer colors, patterns, textures, etc. available for each finish. Submit color samples for ALL finish materials at the same time. Do not submit discontinued color samples. Attach to each sample an AF Form 3000 with

Project Number, Project Name and Submittal Number. The CEPM will select colors and keep one sample of each selected finish. Deviation from the foregoing requirements voids any selection regardless of prior Government approval. Submit color samples consisting of the actual materials to be used (printout colors differ from true material) or actual material coatings bonded to the actual backup material to be installed. Submit sample sizes adequate for the CEPM to perceive true color(s) and patterns. If a submitted material, color or pattern is not acceptable, the Government may reject the product and require the Contractor to provide a substitute. Substitutes must be equal to or better in quality than the rejected product.

6. Performance Capabilities

The Contractor must dedicate sufficient management and technical personnel to active TOs at CAFB. One week before starting work under this contract, submit to the CO in writing the names and credentials of the

Contractor Project Manager, Site Superintendent, and Quality Control Manager (QCM). In the duration of this SGSOW, if any of these personnel change function or are to be replaced, submit in writing the proxies’ names and credentials to the CO for approval or rejection.

The Contractor, CPM, Superintendents, and QCM must be available by telephone 24-hours a day, 7-days a week and be prepared to meet the CO at a CO-designated location on base within 15 minutes of telephone contact during normal working hours and within 30 minutes of telephone contact at other times.

7. Computer and Software Requirements

7.1. For pricing each Cost Proposal, use the same e4Clicks version as the Government.

7.2. While SGSOW is in effect, Contractor must license and maintain (2) subscriptions each to: RSMeans™

Facilities Construction Cost Data book, e4Clicks and AutoCAD Lite latest release.

8. Cost Proposals

8.1. Develop Cost Proposals using the references described in Section 7. Enter bare and localized costs for each line item in a Proposal. Use e4Clicks to collect line items (and costs) into an e4Clicks report and export this electronically to the Government in a compatible format.

8.2. Localized prices are bare material, equipment, expenses, and unburdened labor costs that have been multiplied by the RSMeans™ Location Factors for Columbus, MS.

8.3. Originate Cost Proposals exclusively from localized bare costs of the current updates of the following:

a. RSMeans™ Facilities Construction Cost Data base: Bare Costs, Open Shop labor pricing

b. RSMeans™ Cost Data base, Open Shop labor pricing

c. Open market (NPI only).

d. Data from (a) or (b) above are denoted RSMeans™ Cost Data.

e. Incorporate into each Cost Proposal the prices of the current TO requirements e.g. Drawings; SOW;

S&R; RFIs; Modifications; Q&A; Site Visit; Submittals; and correspondence.

8.4. RSMeans™ Cost Data base line items use in-place quantities that include all work necessary to provide a complete, functional product. Quantities for expansion, shrinkage, waste, compaction, lap, or shipping damage must not be added unless explicitly stated as a cost component of the RSMeans™ Cost Data base line item,

a. Subtotal = RSMeans Cost Data line items sum plus all NPIs.

b. Subtotal X Coefficient = Contractor final (total) price to the Government.

c. There are no other add-ons or multipliers.

8.5. The Coefficient:

a. The coefficient compensates the Contractor for his expenses in executing the elements of the SGSOW and each Task Order.

b. The coefficient includes, but is not limited to, the following

All personnel costs, including the Superintendent, Quality Control Manager, Health and Safety

Manager, Administrative help, Project Managers, Field Engineers, laborers, and any other expenses that are common to all Task Orders

8.8. There will be a coefficient for normal hours at Shuqualak Auxiliary Field

8.9. There will be a coefficient for non-normal working hours at Shuqualak Auxiliary Field for after hours, holidays, and weekends

9. Cost Proposal Format

9.1. A Line Item Cost Proposal must be in the e4Clicks format.

9.2. Organize the Line Items in Cost Proposals according to the current Construction Specifications Institute

MasterFormat 50-division specifications format (this is how the RSMeans™ Line column is organized).

In the “Item” column, give a unique number to each row arranged sequentially from top to bottom.

9.3. Use the Contractor Notes column to explain why each line item was selected, how each quantity was derived, and other supplemental information.

9.4. If a line item has a maximum, average, and minimum cost, use the average cost. If there is only a max and min cost, split the quantity equally between the maximum and minimum line items (e.g., if the quantity is 10, use 5 on the max. line and 5 on the min. line).

9.5. Provide one copy of the cost proposal in electronic format compatible with E4Clicks, one Excel copy

(unlocked) that can be edited, and one Adobe Acrobat PDF.

10. Assembly Line Items (ALI)

10.1. An Assembly Line Item combines two or more RSMeans™ Cost Data line items, often with differing units of measure, into one line item with a single unit of measure. A good example is a Wall Type that combines the Cost Data line items for: steel studs and track; one or more layers of 1/2” type-X gypsum board on each side; acoustical batt insulation; and a level-5 finish on each side. Units of measure would be linear feet (LF) for studs and square feet (SF) for gypsum board, insulation, and level-5 finish.

Assuming a standard height, the Wall Type unit of measure would be LF. Assembly Line Items are used to clarify or accelerate pricing.

10.2. Use ALIs to the extent helpful.

10.3. The Government and Contractor may agree that an ALI developed for one TO may be used for another

TO.

11. Pricing from 01000 General Requirements

11.1. The Contractor must develop the Coefficient from real experience of design and construction overhead.

11.2. The Contractor may use costs (or percentages) from any Division 01000 Section or part thereof to develop the Coefficient except:

11.3. The Contractor must include payment of each DP who will work on a TO. However, the design cost has a statutory limit of 6% as described in the FAR. The Contractor must not seek a Modification as compensation for failure to include in a TO Cost Proposal adequate payment for DPs.

11.4. Prices for some 01 54 Sections of Division 01000 are Equipment Line Items (ELI). An ELI can only be added to a Cost Proposal if its price is a pertinent replacement of a zero or blank in the ‘equipment’ column of one or more non-ELI line items. DO NOT zero out equipment costs related by RSMeans™ to a line item and thereby increase the number of ELIs.

11.5. An ELI only pertains to the cost of Contractor rented equipment used in the construction of a single TO.

The rental cost of equipment used on more than one TO must be prorated according to its duration of operation on each TO. Equipment Rental costs may be used as payment for Contractor owned equipment, but Equipment Mobilization costs may not be used for Contractor owned equipment if the equipment is already onsite. The Government will not pay (e.g. rental costs) to purchase equipment for the Contractor. The Government will not pay equipment rental costs that exceed the purchase cost of new equipment.

11.6. In the ELI ‘notes’ column, list each non-ELI line item deriving its equipment cost from that ELI. Derive quantities for each ELI from the TO proposal RSMeans™ Online items that require work from the ELI.

Use the least costly piece of equipment available in RSMeans™ Cost Data that can perform the required job. Keep ELI cost entries separate from other line item costs.

11.7. The Government, if it deems equipment rental costs were inflated, may require equipment to remain on a

TO site for the time stated in the TO Cost Proposal.

12. Items Not Priced by RSMeans™ (NPI)

12.1. NPIs may be used either on items for which RSMeans™ Cost Data provides no pricing or on items directed herein.

12.2. NPI unit costs will require mutual agreement between Government and Contractor. The Contractor must get three (3) quotes for materials, labor, and equipment (i.e. Subcontractor O&P) costs from independent third party sources (e.g. not the Contractor or a Subcontractor).

12.3. The quotes must:

a. be written;

b. bear the company letterhead; and

c. be signed by a company director or de facto director.

12.4. NPI items must be at the bottom of a Cost Proposal, grouped together.

12.5. The Government and Contractor may agree that an NPI developed for one TO may be used for another

TO.

12.6. The cost of dumpster rental, hauling and tipping fees must be NPI.

13. Cost Proposal Review

13.1. This includes review of Cost Proposals for TOs and Modifications. Cost Proposals must include all information relevant to the Cost Proposal under review. Contractor must provide all information in advance. All oral or documentary evidence the Contractor introduces at Cost Proposal Review must be submitted to the Government at least ten business days before the review meeting. The Contractor must not introduce any new evidence at the review meeting or the Government may stop and reschedule the

Review meeting and require prior disclosure of the new evidence. If the Cost Proposal is for a

Modification and the review meeting is rescheduled for lack of disclosure, no Performance Period extension will be allowed.

14. TO Award

14.1. When Government and Contractor achieve mutual agreement regarding a TO Cost Proposal, the

Government may award a TO which is a firm-fixed-price contract. During Cost Proposal Review, Government and Contractor will each make reasonable effort to discover accidentally missing and accidentally included items. After TO award, compensation to the Contractor for accidentally excluded line items or to the Government for accidentally included line items will not be accepted, except by mutual agreement. After award, the TO cost will only be changed by Government-directed scope change or unforeseeable site conditions.

15. Design and Construction Requirements

15.1. The Contractor must become completely familiar with Standards and References (S&R) applicable to

TOs under this SGSOW. With regard to Standards and References, the Contractor is the professional and the Government is to be considered the “non-professional” client on all TOs.

15.2. For each TO, comply with the latest editions of all S&R including all Building and Systems Codes, Design Guides, Specifications, Analyses, Standards, and applicable Publications. Unless directed by the

SOW or Concept Drawings of an individual TO, or otherwise directed in writing by the CO, all design and construction under this Contract must comply with these S&R including those here listed.

15.3. Core Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) are criteria that provide requirements for the majority of traditional building systems that are prevalent on DoD facility construction projects. Core UFC also identify additional criteria such as Antiterrorism, High Performance, and Sustainable Building requirements mandated by law and policy.

15.4. In addition to the “Core UFC”, comply with other UFC as applicable to the system, structure, or facility type defined in the scope of the construction project. Some of the most commonly used UFC include:

SGSOW is in effect, this SGSOW will not be altered unless Contractor or Government can prove substantial damages.

15.7. The Government may issue TO-specific direction, instructions and specifications.

15.8. While this SGSOW is in force, for each TO SOW, CDs, and all correspondence, the word “will” when applied to the Government (e.g. ‘the Government will’) means “may”; the word “will” when applied to the Contractor (e.g. ‘the Contractor will’) means “must”.

15.9. Details not shown or specified, but necessary for best-practice installation and operation, will govern the work, the same as if shown and specified.

15.10. The Government may approve S&R, not here listed but deemed applicable by DPs, to be added into these S&R. The Contractor must not use an added S&R as reason for TO Modification. . Changes to the

S&R made during a TO apply only to that TO. The Contracting Officer must agree to any changes to the S&R made during a TO.

15.11. The Contractor must obtain all TO SOW relevant information from publicly available S&R (e.g. on the internet) and include all resulting costs in the TO Cost Proposal.

16. Execution

16.1. Each TO will have one Performance Period inclusive of Design and Construction.

16.2. For each TO, provide the following items (a – e). Contractor Costs for developing and providing these must be included in the Coefficient and will not be paid separately.

Submittal Review as defined and described in Section 5 of this SOW.

b. Progress Schedule: (AF Form 3064) must show the total TO schedule broken into individual items of work. Upon award of each TO, the Government will provide the Contractor an electronic AF 3064 and instructions for completion. The Contractor must return the completed form to the CO within 10 days of contract award. Return the completed electronic and hard copy (with an AF Form 3000 cover). Show the percentages of physical work completed at the end of each reporting period. Submit the Progress Schedule within five calendar days after the date of receipt of NTP for each individual

TO. The Government may require an additional Progress Schedule for each Performance Period extension.

http://www.wbdg.org/

c. Progress Reports: (AF Form 3065) The Contractor must submit TO Progress reports to the CO for each outstanding TO twice a month. Deliver the first report on the first working day of each month and the second report two weeks later. The reports will describe the percentage of work completed during the report period. If behind schedule, the Contractor must report in writing what actions they will take to regain the schedule. If the CO agrees to add days to the contract performance period, the

Contractor will provide an amended schedule.

d. Status Reports: Submit daily reports to the CMI of the status of each active TO. For each day and for each TO, list: tasks accomplished, deliveries received, equipment on-site, weather conditions, and number of personnel working listed by trade. The Government may require photographs in Status

Government.

16.3. Period of Performance: For a given TO, this is the time from the NTP until construction is complete.

Each TO SOW will designate the NTP. The Government may require more than one construction performance period. For example, separation of material lead-time from construction days could reduce inconvenience to building occupants.

16.4. Completion of Contract: At the conclusion of each TO and this contract, Contractor must vacate all areas provided including office area(s), storage and staging area(s), and individual work site(s). The

Contractor will restore these areas to their original condition (prior to Contractor occupancy) within 14 calendar days or the earlier of either approved final inspection or CO notification.

17. Quality Control (QC)

17.1. For each TO, the Contractor must create and present to the CO a Quality Control Plan (QCP) to ensure all work meets applicable S&R and adheres to the CDs and SOW. The plan must include: who is responsible for quality inspections, processing acceptance or rejection, documentation and resolution of quality deficiencies, trend analysis, identification of corrective action, and coordination with

Government inspectors. The QCP will become a compliance document upon TO award and stay in effect for the TO duration. The QCP must include the amount of work to be inspected by the Contractor and the frequency of inspections (which must be not less than one per day per TO). The Government may require changes to the QCP or QCM.

17.2. Contractor is fully responsible for all TO quality control, from design through completion. Contractor must institute and maintain a comprehensive Quality Control Program to ensure that all materials and workmanship are in accordance with the CDs and all TO related S&R.
