This is a Performance Work Statement (PWS) for the lease and installation of HVAC equipment to support Military Working Dog kennels at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, effective April 1, 2026.

The contractor shall provide 12 commercial-grade HVAC units (minimum 10-ton capacity) with duct sock accessories on trailers (2 units per kennel across 6 buildings), 6 diesel generators with maximum 70-decibel output, all installation labor and equipment, temporary fencing, signage, wiring, switches, and circuit breakers. The contractor is responsible for maintaining kennel temperatures between 45–85°F, conducting pre- and post-installation surveys to verify compliance with HVAC standards and federal codes, providing generators maintenance and fuel service, enclosing kennel roof gables, emergency maintenance response within 2 hours (24/7 availability), conducting site visits before work begins, removing and hauling debris daily, restoring the site to original condition at project completion, and submitting a work plan narrative for technical evaluation. Monthly, quarterly, and yearly preventative maintenance schedules are required per manufacturer specifications, including filter replacement, belt adjustments, refrigerant checks, cooling and heating system inspections, and condenser coil pressure washing.

Performance thresholds require 95% equipment serviceability, 100% compliance with preventative maintenance schedules, emergency call response within 1 hour with 2-hour onsite response capability, and temperature maintenance outside the specified range for no more than 2 hours. The government will provide police and fire protection; the contractor supplies all tools and vehicles. Work shall be performed during standard duty hours (8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M., Monday–Friday) except federal holidays. Contractor personnel require base identification and vehicle passes. The COR will conduct 100% inspection of units and document performance findings on surveillance reports; failure to meet performance thresholds for two or more consecutive or non-consecutive months results in a letter of concern and potential Contract Discrepancy Reports. Unsatisfactory performance shall be corrected at no additional cost to the government.

1.1.2. Existing Conditions. Prior to any work, the Contractor shall visit the site and examine the attachments and PWS to determine the extent of the work, no later than (NLT) fourteen (14) calendar days after the award. One day before starting any alteration or removal work, the Contractor shall document the current existing condition of nearby structures and facilities adjacent to the areas of alteration or removal. This documentation should be compiled into a report and a copy submitted to the PM prior to the onset of work. Digital photographs will be acceptable as a record of existing conditions, but written authorization is required for photography in and around the MWD kennels.

1.1.3. Building Description. The 6 kennels housing the military dogs are metal, car-port type structures with a fixed roof and metal fencing around the structure, atop a concrete foundation, approximately 40 ft x 150 ft each. The Kennels are used to house MWDs.

The area is occupied and MWD training may be occurring in the vicinity. Some areas may require escorts to enter. Contractor shall maintain egress in and out of main entrance to kennels, and access to kennels shall not be blocked. The contractor shall coordinate with the PM for entry. There is no power available in the area and HVAC equipment must run on generator power. Kennel structures are approximately 50 feet from one another.

1.1.4. Environmental Requirements. Diesel powered generators must have and/or be fueled from a double-walled aboveground storage tank. If fuel tank is not double walled, it should be placed into Secondary Containment to protect it from fuel leaks and spills.

Contractor shall utilize a drip pan and/or containment during the refueling of the generator fuel tanks, to ensure no spillage of fuel to the soils, grass or storm drains.

Contractor shall place fuel as far away as feasible from any storm water drains, storm water inlets or inside stormwater swales. Contractors shall have a spill kit nearby with absorbent pads, pillows, etc. Contractor shall post "No Smoking" signs and have a portable fire extinguisher nearby. Contractors shall ensure fuel tanks have 5 feet of clear space on all sides, away from buildings and above it to ensure adequate ventilation.

Contractors shall use grounding rods to ground equipment.

1.2. Lease Description. Provide a quantity of 12 - commercial-grade, no less than 10-ton HVAC units with duct sock accessories on trailers (2 units per kennel). Provide the manpower to place, install, maintain, and remove the equipment. Provide Work Plan Narrative. Provide 24 hour/7 days per week service capability to equipment.

Immediately after contract award, the Contractor must visit the site and review the attached documents and Performance Work Statement (PWS) to fully understand the scope of work. The Contractor shall document existing conditions, including the state of structures and adjacent facilities slated for alteration or removal. Digital photographs are acceptable for documentation, but written authorization is required for photography in and around the MWD kennels.

1.2.2. Equipment Placement and Installation. The topography surrounding the MWD kennels is characterized by irregular and steep terrain. The Contractor shall provide appropriate support systems to ensure the structural stability and alignment of HVAC units. Specific support requirements shall be determined by the Contractor following a mandatory site visit. All support structures must be non-permanent and must not cause structural or cosmetic damage to existing facilities. Ensure the terrain can support the HVAC equipment.
