PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

MICROWAVE TOWER INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE SERVICES

1. GENERAL

1.1. Scope of Work

The Western Area Power Administration (Western) requires a contractor to perform comprehensive inspection and maintenance services on guyed and self-supported microwave towers at various locations throughout its territory. The work will be performed predominantly for the Rocky Mountain Region (RMR) and the Upper Great Plains Region (UGPR) in the following states: Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Nebraska, New Mexico, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, and Iowa. Work may also be performed for other Western’s Desert Southwest Region (DSWR) and Sierra Nevada Region (SNR) in the following states:

Arizona, Nevada and California.

A five (5) year interval for performing microwave tower inspections has been established for the RMR and UGPR. Attached to this Performance Work Statement (PWS) is a spreadsheet (Exhibit 3) listing the year each tower is to be inspected, the name of the site, the Facility Identification Code (FID), the height of the structure, and the type of structure.

At least one Task Order will be issued each contract year, including the option years if exercised. These Task Orders will include the specific towers identified for inspection that year (Exhibit 3). Tower inspections should normally be completed between May and September of each year to guarantee access to each site.

Inspections may be allowed outside of this window, at the discretion of the Contracting Officer.

If additional towers are identified for inspection, or non-routine maintenance is identified and required to be performed, additional Task Orders will be issued as required.

1.2. Background

Western, part of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is a Federal power marketing administration that markets and delivers reliable, cost-based hydroelectric power and related services within a 15-state region.

The RMR serves preference customers in Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska and Kansas. RMR also services the Colorado River Storage Project Management Center (CRSP-MC) in Salt Lake City, Utah. The CRSP-MC provides transmission services to facilities in Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Texas and Wyoming.

RMR’s mission includes maintenance and operation of the high-voltage transmission system including 80 substations and over 5,400 miles of high-voltage power transmission lines that deliver power from CRSP-MC and over 19 power plants to its wholesale customers. The UGPR serves preference customers in Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota. UGPR’s mission includes maintenance and operation of the high-voltage transmission system including nearly 100 substations and 7,800 miles of high-voltage power transmission lines

1.3. Location

The work is located at various communication sites throughout Western, some of which are inside energized high voltage electrical substations. States in which the sites are located include, but are not limited to the following: Arizona, California, Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming

The contractor shall develop and maintain a Quality Control Plan (QCP) to ensure all services are performed in accordance with the Government’s performance standards outlined in the Performance Requirements Summary (PRS) section of this

PWS.

1.9.2. Performance Standards. See Exhibit 1. The PRS is a listing of significant performance objectives with associated performance standards that will be monitored and inspected by Government personnel. Each performance objective represents a critical function as identified by the Government at the time of contract award. The performance standard represents the minimum acceptable level of Contractor performance. The performance objectives and standards represent only the critical components of this Contract, and do not excuse the Contractor from performance of other responsibilities identified in the PWS. All services described in this PWS are subject to inspection/surveillance by the Government.

1.9.3. Government Surveillance of Contractor Performance. In order to supplement the Contractor’s QCP, Western Inspectors, Foreman, Regional Points of Contact, and/or the Contracting Officer will monitor the Contractor’s performance to verify compliance with essential performance requirements.

1.9.4. Contract Discrepancy Report (CDR). A CDR (PWS Exhibit 2) will be initiated by the CO or COR if, at any time during the performance, the results of Western’s surveillance show the number of observations of unacceptable performance during the period exceeds the threshold specified in the PRS, and the CO/COR determines that the unacceptable performance was not caused by the Government. Instructions for completing the CDR are as follows:

1.9.4.1. The COR completes Blocks l through 6 and sends the form to the CO. Block 6 must include the PRS number corresponding to the discrepancy, the threshold of that PRS item, the number of discrepancies documented, and the PWS paragraph reference describing the Government’s expectations for that PRS item.

1.9.4.2. The CO evaluates the CDR, and if appropriate, signs it and sends it to the Contractor with a cover letter requesting a response within a specified number of days.

1.9.4.3. The Contractor must complete Blocks 7 through 10 and return the CDR to the CO within the specified time period on the cover letter.

1.9.4.4. Upon receipt of the Contractor’s response, the CO, in consultation with the COR, will evaluate the Contractor’s response and take appropriate action. The CO will document the evaluation in Block 11 and action taken in Block 12.

1.9.4.5. In most cases, the preferred action is re-performance by the Contractor at no additional cost to the Government. If deduction from payment is the appropriate action, the COR and CO will calculate the payment deduction based on the performance period in which the discrepancy occurred. The deduction is taken from the Contractor’s payment as close as possible to the month in which the discrepancy occurred, but not necessarily the same month.

The Government should not withhold payment of an invoice while calculating the deduction.

1.9.4.6. The COR will complete Blocks 13a and 13b. The CO signs the CDR in Block 13c. These signatures indicate concurrence with the actions taken.

1.9.4.7. In the event the CO determines that issuance of a CDR is not appropriate; the CO shall document the contract file indicating why such action is not appropriate.

1.10. Compliance with Regulations

In performing the work required by this Contract, the Contractor shall comply with all applicable Federal, State and local laws and regulations.

The Government may undertake or award other contracts for additional work, and the Contractor shall fully cooperate with such other contractors and Government employees and carefully schedule its own work to such additional work as may be directed by the COR. The Contractor shall not commit or permit any act that will interfere with the performance of work by any other contractor or by Government employees.

The services under this contract shall be performed in such a way that there will be no interruption to or interference with the normal operation of Government business on the premises. Persons employed by the contractor shall, while on the premises, comply with all applicable regulations.

1.14. Government Furnished Property, Equipment, Materials and Utilities

1.14.1. The Government will not furnish any property, equipment or materials for use under this contract.

Failure to implement, monitor, and enforce the safety and health program submitted to and approved by Western as well as the requirements of this PWS may result in the Contracting Officer’s direct removal of the job superintendent or may result in the suspension of all or part of the work. Western’s failure to order discontinuance of the Contractor’s operations shall not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for the safety and health of personnel and property.
