PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Performance Work Statement (PWS) ERDC Communications Infrastructure Contract

1. Overview The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) helps solve our Nation’s most challenging problems in civil and military engineering, geospatial sciences, water resources, and environmental sciences for the Army, Department of Defense, civilian agencies, and our Nation’s public good.

ERDC consist of seven laboratories at four main geographical sites located in Champaign, IL; Hanover, NH;

Alexandria, VA; and Vicksburg, MS. The ERDC Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) is responsible for building, staffing and maintaining the communications networks in support of the Research & Development activities of ERDC.

2.0 General Requirements

This section describes the general requirements the contractor needs to accomplish.

2.1 Non-Personal Services

The Government shall neither supervise contractor employees nor control the method by which the contractor performs the required tasks. Under no circumstances shall the Government assign tasks to, or prepare work schedules for, individual contractor employees. It shall be the responsibility of the contractor to manage its employees and to guard against any actions that are of the nature of personal services or give the perception of personal services. If the contractor believes that any actions constitute, or are perceived to constitute personal services, it shall be the contractor's responsibility to notify the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) immediately.

2.2 Business Relations

The contractor shall successfully integrate and coordinate all activity needed to execute the requirement. The contractor shall manage the timeliness, completeness, and quality of problem identification. The contractor shall provide corrective action plans, proposal submittals, timely identification and remediation of issues, and effective management of subcontractors. The contractor shall seek to ensure customer satisfaction and professional and ethical behavior of all contractor personnel.

2.3 Contract Administration and Management

The contractor shall establish clear organizational lines of authority and responsibility to ensure effective management of the resources assigned to the requirement. The contractor shall establish processes and assign appropriate resources to effectively administer the requirement. The contractor shall assign work effort and maintain proper and accurate timekeeping records of personnel assigned to work on the requirement. The contractor shall be responsible for any subcontract management necessary to integrate work performed on this requirement and shall be responsible and accountable for subcontractor performance on this requirement. The prime contractor will manage work distribution to ensure there are no Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) considerations. The contractor shall respond to Government requests for contractual actions in a timely fashion.

Typically, task order RFP’s will have a one-week turnaround. Some instances will call for longer or shorter lead times.

The contractor shall maintain continuity between ongoing activities across multiple geographic locations. Historically, there are approximately thirty-eight (38) task orders annually: Vicksburg, MS at twenty-three (23); CERL at six (8);

CRREL at six (6); and Duck, NC at one (1).

2.4 Personnel Administration

The contractor shall provide experienced and qualified personnel with all the skills necessary to perform the work identified. The contractor shall maintain the currency of their employees by providing initial and refresher training as required to meet the PWS requirements. All contractor personnel shall be able to read, write, speak, and understand English, shall possess good written and verbal communications skills, and shall have sufficient knowledge of proper English grammar, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation rules to identify errors and make corrections. The contractor shall make necessary travel arrangements for employees. The contractor shall provide administrative support to employees in a timely fashion (time keeping, leave processing, pay, emergency needs).

Conflict of Interest. Neither the contractor nor its on-site employees shall utilize their knowledge of access to information, sensitive or otherwise, for individual or company gain.

2.5 Employee Conduct

The contractor’s employees shall observe and comply with all applicable departmental and agency regulations, policies, and procedures (e.g., fire, safety, sanitation, environmental protection, security, etc.).

When contractor employees are working on Government facilities or participating at Government meetings, they shall wear identification badges distinguishing themselves as such.

The badges at a minimum must have the employee name and word "contractor” displayed. Ideally, the company name will appear on the badge. Additionally, not withstanding any other provisions in the PWS, the contractor shall identify themselves as a contractor in meetings, telephone conversations, all written communications and work situations so that their actions cannot be construed as acts of a Government official. The contractor shall take no actions that bind the government to a final decision or results in the exercise of governmental discretion. The Government may, at its sole discretion, direct the contractor to remove any contractor employee from Government facilities for misconduct or security reasons. Such removal does not relieve the contractor of the responsibility to provide sufficient qualified personnel for adequate and timely service. The Contracting Officer will provide the contractor with an immediate rationale for removal of contractor employee.

2.6 Contractor Personnel, Disciplines, and Specialties

The contractor shall accomplish the assigned work by employing and utilizing qualified personnel with appropriate combinations of education, training, and experience. The contractor shall match personnel skills to the work or task with a minimum of under/over employment of resources.
