PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

A. INTRODUCTION.

The Bureau of Reclamation’s (Reclamation) Hoover Dam generators use static voltage regulators with rotating exciters to inject DC voltage onto main generator field windings. Hoover Dam has two Westinghouse exciters, 425 kW, armature volts 250 VDC, armature amps 1700, class F insulation, 180 RPM, weighing 12,000 lbs. that require cleaning, weighing, measuring, inspection, testing, repair, and rewind. Reclamation needs a qualified Electrical Apparatus Service Association

(EASA) Contractor to perform these services and certify work is completed in accordance with the

EASA Standard (AR100-2015).

B. BACKGROUND.

Generator excitation systems consists of main rotating exciters (armatures), static pilot exciters, voltage regulators and certain excitation control features. The armatures are designed and equipped to be direct-connected, direct current, vertical shaft, shunt-wound-type main rotating exciter mounted on top of a generator. These armatures are rated 250 volts. Reclamation will not provide any additional drawings or information. The continuous capacity of these rotating exciters (armatures) is sufficient to carry the current supplied by the generator’s static pilot exciter and regulator. The continuous capacity of the excitation system is ten percent in excess of the actual capacity (in amperes) required to supply the field excitation current of the generator when operating at 100 percent uprated kilowatt output, rated power factor, and rated voltage. These armatures are stored inside wood crates ready to load and ship to the repair facility. Pickup and delivery shall be at Hoover Dam Central Warehouse. The

Central Warehouse is located on Nevada State Route 172 about eight miles East of Boulder City, Nevada. Take Exit 2 (SR-172) past the Hacienda Hotel & Casino and follow the signs.

DOI-AAAP-0050 CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT REPORTING SYSTEM (DEC 2015)

1) FAR 42.1502 directs all Federal agencies to collect past performance information on contracts. The Department of the Interior (DOI) has implemented the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to comply with this regulation. One or more past performance evaluations will be conducted in order to record your contract performance as required by FAR 42.15.

2) The past performance evaluation process is a totally paperless process using CPARS. CPARS is a web-based system that allows for electronic processing of the performance evaluation report.

Once the report is processed, it is available in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) for Government use in evaluating past performance as part of a source selection action.

3) We request that you furnish the Contracting Officer (CO) with the name, position title, phone number, and email address for each person designated to have access to your firm's past performance evaluation(s) for the contract no later than 30 days after award. Each person granted access will have the ability to provide comments in the Contractor portion of the report and state whether or not the Contractor agrees with the evaluation, before returning the report to the Assessing Official (AO). Information in the report must be protected as source selection sensitive information not releasable to the public.

4) When your Contractor Representative(s) are registered in CPARS, they will receive an automatically generated email with detailed login instructions. Further details, systems requirements, and training information for CPARS is available at https://www.cpars.gov/.

5) Within 60 days after the end of a performance period, the AO will complete an interim or final past performance evaluation, and the report will be accessible at https://www.cpars.gov/.

a) Contractor Representatives may then provide comments in response to the evaluation, or return the evaluation without comment.

b) Your comments should focus on objective facts in the AO's narrative and should provide your views on the causes and ramifications of the assessed performance.

c) All information provided should be reviewed for accuracy prior to submission.

d) If you elect not to provide comments, please acknowledge receipt of the evaluation by indicating "No comment" in the space provided, and then selecting “Accept the Ratings and Close the Evaluation”.

e) Your response is due within 60 calendar days after receipt of the CPAR. On day 15, the evaluation will become available in PPIRS-RC marked as “Pending” with or without comments and whether or not it has been closed.

f) If you do not sign and submit the CPAR within 60 days, it will automatically be returned to the

Government and will be annotated: "The report was delivered/received by the contractor on (date). The contractor neither signed nor offered comment in response to this assessment."

6) The following guidelines apply concerning your use of the past performance evaluation:

a) Protect the evaluation as source selection information. After review, transmit the evaluation by completing and submitting the form through CPARS. If for some reason you are unable to view and/or submit the form through CPARS, contact the CO for instructions.

b) Strictly control access to the evaluation within your organization. Ensure the evaluation is never released to persons or entities outside of your control.

c) Prohibit the use of or reference to evaluation data for advertising, promotional material, pre-award surveys, responsibility determinations, production readiness reviews, or other similar purposes.

7) If you wish to discuss a past performance evaluation, you should request a meeting in writing to the CO no later than seven days following your receipt of the evaluation. The meeting will be held in person or via telephone or other means during your 60-day review period.

8) A copy of the completed past performance evaluation will be available in CPARS for your viewing and for Government use supporting source selection actions after it has been finalized.
