Scope of Work Description:

1. Project Location: Boiler House

National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research

USDA-ARS

1815 N. University Street Peoria, IL 61604

2. Point of Contact at Location: Craig Tiezzi

Facility Engineer / EPM (309)-681-6697 Craig.tiezzi@usda.gov

3) Project Background:

a) Boiler #3 has an integrated working platform which provides access to boiler system components that are only accessible from the top side of the unit. The platform system is commonly utilized by maintenance personnel and 3rd party boiler technicians for preventative maintenance and troubleshooting activities. It has been identified this platform does not comply with OSHA guidelines and has been deemed a safety risk.

4) The general requirement of this project shall include:

a) The modification of the working platform on Boiler #3 shall be in accordance with this Statement of Work and the FAR Solicitation and Contract clauses that are identified in the complete Solicitation package. This Statement of Work (SOW) shall consist of this “Scope of Work Description”, Attachments, General Requirements, Project Specifications, and Project Drawings:

i) Contractor will provide all field verification, shop drawings, material procurement, shop fabrication services, delivery, material handling, and field installation services for all platform modifications as identified in the Statement of Work.

b) The repair/replacement shall be performed in a neat, workmanlike manner to provide code-compliant, complete, properly functioning installation.

c) Contractor shall be responsible for all project waste including hauling away, directing waste to recycle, and legally disposing of remaining waste.

d) Demolition / new installation activities shall be sequenced and scheduled to minimize its impact to daily facility operations.

i) Contractor will coordinate with EPM/COR and boiler operation staff prior to the beginning of construction activities to identify a logistics plan for maintaining boiler operation and service delivery during construction.

ii) Any shutdowns of electrical / water /steam distribution at the facility shall be thoroughly coordinated with the Owner and shall occur during time periods acceptable to the Owner.

mailto:Craig.tiezzi@usda.gov

SWD-3

(1) In order to accomplish this requirement, the Contractor shall have new equipment in place and functional to the greatest extent possible; and shall have utility infrastructure installations in place to the greatest extent possible.

(2) The Location has two operational boilers to service the steam and hot water loads for the whole facility. Work activities on Boiler #3 shall be coordinated with the Owner and take place only when the load requirements for the site are suitable for single boiler operation. Boiler #1 will continue to operate under normal conditions to service load requirements and Boiler #3 will be taken offline for work activities to commence.

e) Contractor shall provide all labor, equipment, and materials needed for the indicated replacement. Contractor shall provide a material approval submittal of product data (cut sheets) and shop drawings on materials and components as indicated in the Project Specifications and Schedule of Material Submittals (see Attachments). See Note 10 for additional information.

f) Contractor personnel shall review and participate in the NCAUR Temporary Credentialing Program for security clearance and access to the site. See Attachments for additional information.

5) Contractor(s) are strongly encouraged to visit the site of the proposed work and review the existing conditions there relating to construction and labor, and to be fully informed as to the facilities involved, and the difficulties and restrictions that may affect the performance of the Contract. Failure to visit the site will not disqualify those submitting a proposal. However, change order requests for items that could have been reasonably ascertainable from a site visit (and included in a proposal) will be reviewed by the CO and evaluated accordingly.

6) After project award, the Contractor shall confirm all existing conditions and dimensions prior to proceeding with any project activities; identify all existing conditions that may impact the work; and alert the CO and EPM immediately if conditions are discovered that differ from the SOW. Contractor shall point out discrepancies between work identified in this SOW and actual field-verified conditions--if they exist, prior to performing work.

7) Period of performance shall be as indicated in the Contract Documents and begins after Notice to Proceed is issued by CO.

8) Basis-of-design products are indicated in this SOW to convey a specified standard of quality and salient characteristics desired but are not to be considered a single source specification. Contractor-proposed equals will be considered.

a) The Contractor must compare and validate that quality and salient characteristics are equal and approve the proposed equal products prior to submission for Government review and approval. Additional work required to incorporate Contractor-proposed equals shall be at the Contractor’s expense.

SWD-4

b) Owner will review all Contractor-proposed equal equipment, materials, manufacturers, or installation. It shall be the Contractor’s burden to furnish all documentation and / or samples to show equality with specified items. Owner’s decision on equality is final. Manufacturers / products that are submitted as “Approved Equal” are reviewed during the shop drawing process, not during bidding.

9) Submittals including product data shall be submitted as indicated in the Project

Specifications. See “Schedule of Material Submittals” for required submittals.

Submittals shall be reviewed by the Government for general conformance with the Contract Documents. Markings for comments and approval of the submittals by USDA shall not be construed as releasing the Contractor from compliance with the specified requirements.

a) Use ARS submittal/transmittal form included with this SOW for each submittal.

b) All submittals shall be distributed to and reviewed by the Government prior to commencing work at the site. Purchase of materials prior to submittal approvals are at the Contractor’s risk.

10) See Project Specifications for requirements on construction progress documentation including, but not limited to; daily reports, construction schedule(s), etc.

a) Daily reports documenting construction activities shall include workers present, weather conditions, differing site conditions encountered, etc. Photographs of construction activities and conditions shall be taken daily and shall be submitted with daily reports. Daily reports shall be submitted on daily basis to project personnel as indicated in Project Specifications.

11) The Contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, equipment, supplies, transportation, utilities, supervision, *safety equipment, and incidentals for all elements of the work to provide a complete and properly functioning installation in accordance with this Statement of Work. The installation shall be ready for use by Final Completion date.

* Note: Contractor is solely responsible for safety measures and conformance to applicable requirements in accordance with FAR clauses referenced in Solicitation package.

a) Contractor shall provide all means and methods to protect the facility and its installations from all project activities, including protecting the facility from environmental elements as the improvements are completed.

12) Contractor shall coordinate all work activities with the Owner prior to beginning any work. All work shall be scheduled in a manner such that ongoing research is not jeopardized, and facility’s ongoing day-to day operations are not affected negatively, including air quality.

a) Project shall be left broom-clean at the end of each workday.
