Section C - Descriptions and Specifications

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Vegetative Management & Herbicide Application Services

Kanopolis Project Office

C.1 General Information

C.1.1 Background: Kanopolis Lake was the first lake built in Kansas by the Corps of Engineers Kansas City District. Construction of Kanopolis Dam began in 1940 and was completed in 1948. The lake has a drainage area of 7,860 square miles. At the multipurpose elevation of 1,463msl, the lake has a surface area of 3,400 acres or 61,382 acre-feet with 41 miles of shoreline. During periods of heavy rain the lake increases in size, as runoff is stored, providing downstream flood protection. Recreation, fish and wildlife enhancement, and water quality also are benefits of the lake. Many routine maintenance items are contracted to the private sector. Mowing, refuse collection, office janitorial and facility cleanup are just a few of the activities that are performed by private contractors for the Corps.

C.1.2 Scope of Work: The Contractor shall provide labor, material, and equipment as specified to perform vegetative management and herbicide application services to areas as described in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) and elsewhere in the contract. Acceptable performance standards and current regulations are provided for each task. The Contractor shall monitor performance and ensure compliance in accordance with the terms and conditions.

C.1.3 Period of Performance: The contract shall begin 1 April or date of award and continue through 31 August (growing season). Application of pre-emergent may begin as early in the year as weather conditions allow.

C.1.4 Post Award Conference: The contractor shall attend a required pre-work orientation with the Government's representative at the Kanopolis Project Office within 3 days prior of the first workday.

C.1.5 Quality Control: The Contractor shall develop a Quality Control Plan designed to demonstrate how the Contractor will meet the needs of the project. The Quality Control Plan shall document how the Contractor will identify and correct performance shortfalls. Complete records of all inspection work performed by the contractor must be maintained and made available to the government during contract performance.

C.1.6 Quality Assurance:

C.1.6.1 The Government will monitor the Contractor’s performance under this contract using quality assurance procedures developed by the Government. Typical procedures might include random inspections on service areas and documentation of findings. This should not be considered an exhaustive list. A primary objective of Government Quality Assurance will be to determine the effectiveness of the Contractor’s quality control system.

C.1.6.2 The government reserves the right to inspect and test all services called for by the contract, to the extent practicable at all times and places during the term of the contract. The government will perform inspections and tests in a manner that will not unduly delay the work.

C.1.6.3 If any of the services do not conform to contract requirements, the government will request the contractor to perform the services again, where appropriate, in conformity with contract requirements, at no increase in contract amount. When the defects in services cannot be corrected by re-performance, the government may (1) require the contractor to take necessary action to ensure that future performance conforms to contract requirements and (2) reduce the contract price to reflect the reduced value of the services performed.

C.1.6.4 If the contractor fails to promptly re-perform the services or to take the necessary action to ensure future performance in conformity with contract requirements, the government may by contract, or otherwise: (1) perform the services and charge to the Contractor any cost incurred by the government that is directly related to the performance of such service or (2) terminate the contract in whole or in part.

C.1.7 Workmanship:

C.1.7.1 In order to assure that the work performed under this contract is performed in a strictly first-class manner, the Contractor shall designate, in writing, a responsible member of each crew who shall serve as a contact for matters concerning quality, performance or non-performance of the required work assigned to that crew. The employee(s) designated in accordance with the above requirement shall be qualified and fully competent with full authority to act for, and on the behalf of the Contractor as necessary to ensure that the work described herein is performed in accordance with these specifications. The Contractor shall furnish the above written designation to the COR at the Project no later than the first day of the contract. The designation shall include the names(s), address(es) and phone number(s) of the individuals he intends to assign to this work. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to disapprove any individual whom he considers to be incompetent to perform the work required. Such disapprovals will be given to the Contractor by written notice and the Contracting Officer’s decision shall represent a final decision.

C.1.7.2 Contractor’s employees shall be fully clothed at all times while performing these services. “Fully Clothed” shall be deemed to mean that a shirt, (or T-shirt), trousers and shoes shall be worn at all times. Clothing shall be neat and clean in appearance. Contractor personnel shall utilize tact, diplomacy and courtesy at all times when dealing with the public. Service will be allowed on weekdays from 7:00 am – 4:00 pm.

C.1.7.3 Equipment breakdown shall not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility of performing the work as specified. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to assure that he has, or can obtain on short notice, sufficient backup equipment to continue the services as specified without interruption in the event of mechanical failure of his primary equipment.

C.1.7.4 Apply herbicide to all areas listed under Herbicide Application sites. In most cases, the result should be a clean, vegetation free area. Some areas involve the control of certain species (ie woody vegetation). In those areas, it will be the Contractor’s responsibility to insure that the target species are all that are affected. The Contractor shall consider any impacts for potential erosion on service areas and to base any vegetation free border on topography and wash out potential as needed under the discretion of the COR. If any erosion or wash out does occur the Contractor must notify the COR.

C.1.7.5 The Contractor will be responsible for selecting the appropriate chemical to be used based on site location, proximity to the public, environmental concerns, target species and best commercial practices. Information will be provided to the government regarding the chemical(s) to be used prior to application. Biodegradable dye will be used as a marker to insure even applications.

C.1.7.6 The Contractor will guarantee at least a 99% vegetation free control 100% of the time of all serviced areas during the growing season (April through September). Should the level of control fall below 99%, the contractor will be responsible for the re-treatment of the subject area(s) to achieve the desired result, at no additional cost to the government. In order to maintain this level of vegetation control, it is anticipated that the contractor will need to make at least one Quality Control visit each month to insure that the desired results are being achieved prior to submitting the monthly invoice. Payment will not be made until this level of control is accomplished.

C.1.7.7 All contractor personnel applying herbicide shall be appropriately trained and licensed. Copies of all licenses and certifications will be provided to the government prior to the start of work. Appropriate insurance will also be in place and documentation provided prior to the start of work.

C.1.7.8 The serviced areas will present a neat, even kill of all target species. Spray patterns will provide an even border between treated and untreated areas. A 1 foot (approx.) vegetation free border will be left around all hard-surfaced or rocked facilities (ie pads, parking lots, etc.).

C.1.7.9 Work will not be done on days when the wind exceeds 10 mph in developed areas (15 mph in undeveloped areas) or when wet weather could affect the application.

C.1.7.10 The government will provide water for tank filling. The Contractor will provide hoses and backflow-preventers. Clean-out of chemical tanks and disposal of chemical containers will not be done on government property. The Contractor will have spill kits available on all vehicles used on government property adequate to the type and quantity of chemical on the vehicle. Contractor employees will be trained in the use of these kits and are expected to aggressively implement their use in the event of a spill.

C.1.7.11 The Contractor will be responsible for any damage to non-target species.

C.1.7.12 The Contractor will complete an herbicide application report form (furnished by the government) after all chemical applications whether initial or follow-up. Payment will not be made until the completed forms are provided.

C.1.8 Flood Control Project: Occasional retention of floodwaters may inundate portions of the public use areas, other areas, or access roads thereto, being serviced by this contract. In the event that inundation materially affects the scope of work, the Contractor shall be requested to submit a pricing proposal covering the unserviceable or affected portion of his/her work in order that an equitable adjustment to contract price can be negotiated and an adjustment made in accordance with the appropriate contract clause 52.212-4, para. entitled “Changes.” Payment for services not performed as a result of conditions state above shall be initially withheld until execution of an equitable adjustment can be made by contract modification.

SECTION II - PURPOSE

This form documents the review of the requirements package (e.g., performance work statements (PWS), statements of work (SOW), statements of requirements (SOR)) for antiterrorism (AT) and other related protection matters to include, but not limited to: operation security (OPSEC), information assurance (IA), physical security, law enforcement, intelligence and industrial security. Army policy requires all services contracts, and supply contracts above the simplified acquisition level threshold (SAT), to include a signed AT/OPSEC cover sheet; this does not apply to supply contracts below the SAT, field ordering officer actions, or Government Purchase Card purchases. Local policy may require this form for supply contracts under the SAT based on risk and threat. HQ-USACE policy mandates that prior to submitting requirements packages to the supporting contracting activity, the Antiterrorism Officer (ATO) and OPSEC Officer for the Requiring Activity (RA) review (including coordination with other staff, as appropriate) each requirements package, unless a signed class approval request form is completed. If the RA does not have an ATO or OPSEC Officer, the first ATO and OPSEC Officer in the chain of command will review the contract for AT/OPSEC considerations. For contracts that involve Information Assurance/ Information Technology (IA/IT) services (e.g., desktop or network services, software or business system development/operations/ maintenance, or management of websites, servers, enterprise databases, etc.), the servicing Information Systems Security Officer (ISSO) or similar IA professional supporting the RA will review the contract for IA/IT considerations and sign this coversheet.

SECTION IX - STANDARD CONTRACT LANGUAGE

1. General security requirements and guidance: The security requirements described below apply to all contract personnel (including employees of the prime Contractor (“Contractor”) and all subcontractor employees) supporting the performance requirements of this contract. The Contractor is responsible for compliance with these security requirements. Questions regarding security matters shall be addressed to the designated Government representative (e.g., Contracting Officer Representative (COR), Requiring Activity (RA) representative, or Contracting Officer (if a COR or other RA representative is not appointed)). Contract personnel are critical to the overall security and safety of US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) installations, facilities and activities, and security awareness training contributes to those efforts. The Department of Defense (DoD) and Army security training requirements specified below, if applicable, are performance requirements; all applicable contract personnel shall complete initial training within 30 days of contract award or the date new contract personnel begin performance on the contract. Within five business days from the completion of training, the Contractor shall provide written documentation (e.g., email or memorandum) to the Government representative. The documentation shall include the names of contract personnel trained and which training they completed; the Contractor shall maintain training records as part of their contract files and be prepared to provide copies of training certificates to the Government representative. Contractor personnel and vehicles are subject to search when entering federal installations. Additionally, all contract personnel shall comply with Force Protection Condition (FPCON) measures, Random Antiterrorism Measures (commonly referred to as “RAMs”), and Health Protection Condition (HPCON) measures. The Contractor is responsible for meeting performance requirements during elevated FPCON and/or HPCON levels in accordance with applicable RA plans and procedures --this includes identifying mission essential and non-mission essential personnel. In addition to the changes otherwise authorized by the changes clause of this contract, should the FPCON or HPCON levels at any individual facility or installation change, the Government may implement security changes that affect contract personnel. The Contractor shall ensure all contract personnel are aware of their security responsibilities, including any site-specific requirements identified in local policies or procedures.

2. Antiterrorism (AT) Level I training: All contract personnel requiring routine access to Army installations, facilities, and controlled access areas, or requiring network access shall complete initial and annual refresher AT Level I awareness training. Online AT Level I awareness training is available at https://jko.jten.mil/ (website subject to change).

3. Physical security and access control requirements: All contract personnel requiring physical access to a federal installation or facility shall comply with the access control procedures of that location. Contract personnel requiring unescorted access to meet contract performance requirements on a DoD installation in the US shall be vetted by the installation/facility Provost Marshal/Directorate of Emergency Services/Security Office using the National Crime Information Center-Interstate Identification Index (commonly referred to as “NCIC-III”) and Terrorist Screening Database (commonly referred to as “TSDB”). Contract personnel shall comply with all personal identity verification requirements specified in installation/facility policies and procedures. Contract personnel who do not meet requirements for unescorted access to USACE facilities shall coordinate escorted access with the Government representative, as needed. Contract personnel who receive keys, access cards, or lock combinations that provide access to government-owned property shall comply with key and lock control procedures of the RA.

4. Contract personnel requiring a common access card (CAC): Contract personnel will be issued a common access card (CAC) only if duties involve one of the following: (1) both physical access to a DoD facility and access to DoD information systems or networks; (2) remote access to a DoD information system or 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 6 months or more. Before CAC issuance, contract personnel must have, at a minimum, a favorably adjudicated Tier 1 investigation or an equivalent or higher investigation in accordance with applicable Army regulations and Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 (HSPD-12). At the discretion of the RA, an initial CAC may be issued based on a favorable review of a fingerprint check and a successfully scheduled Tier 1 investigation with the National Background Investigations Bureau. The RA provides contract personnel with additional information and forms to initiate the CAC issuance process, and/or to initiate background investigations, when required. Contract personnel shall complete these processes within established timelines to avoid delays.

5. Security requirements for contract performance outside the US: For contract performance requirements that involve services or delivery in a foreign country, the Contractor shall comply with the requirements of DFARS clause 252.225-7043.

Additionally, contract personnel shall comply with requirements specified in the DoD Foreign Clearance Guide, including country and theater clearance processes.

6. Suspicious Activity Reporting training (e.g. iWATCH, CorpsWatch, or See Something, Say Something): All contract personnel shall receive initial and annual refresher training from the RA representative on the local suspicious activity reporting program. This locally developed training provides contract personnel with general information on suspicious behavior, and guidance on reporting suspicious activity to the project manager, security representative or law enforcement entity.

7.
