PROJECT DESCRIPTION

NAMA has many distinct and separate memorial/monument sites throughout Washington DC. Eighteen (18) of these sites have pools/fountains that require daily, corrective, and preventative maintenance to ensure they operate correctly.

NPS, NAMA requires a contractor who will operate and provide all preventative maintenance and facility support services identified in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) to the pools/fountains listed in this contract. The contract will include ten (10) pools/fountains with the option to add eight (8) more subject to the availability of funding. The contractor shall be required to provide all supervision, labor, equipment, and materials necessary to perform all mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and repair services to properly operate and maintain the pools/fountains that fall within the coverage of this contract.

The objective of this PWS is to ensure that the pools/fountains at these monuments and memorials display clean and clear water quality and are fully functional features for the enjoyment of the visitors. It is also an objective that these features are maintained in a manner that prevents undue costs on the Federal Government from lack of proper maintenance. Clean and clear water quality (aesthetic criteria) includes: no algae, no debris, no cloudiness, no organic growth of any kind on any surface, no odor of any kind, no calcium/efflorescence build-up.

Due to the nature of the requirement where the Government cannot predetermine all the work that may be required, the Government has determined that a single Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract will be awarded from this solicitation. The ID/IQ contract will include a base plus four (4) option years with an optional six (6) month extension with an anticipated period of performance of January 17, 2023, through July 16, 2028.

In accordance with FAR 22.1002-2, the prevailing wage rates will apply.
