Part I - SECTION C
SCOPE OF WORK
SECTION C – Scope of Work (SOW)
1. CONTRACT SCOPE
1.1. Scope of Work Requirements: This Scope of Work (SOW) requires the contractor to perform fast track design/build delivery of FE/BR Repair & Replacement (R&R), Vehicle Barrier
Replacement, modular hardline walls, and other physical security upgrade projects at multiple facilities (Embassies, Consulates, and Annexes, also known as Posts) around the world. The
Contractor will work under the direction of the U.S. Department of State (DOS) Office of
Overseas Buildings Operations (OBO) and in close coordination with DOS organizational elements, other Government agencies, and other contractors as required. The contractor will perform detailed planning, design, and execution services that will provide OBO with individual project proposed schedule, work elements, and cost for each task order. The contractor’s on-site Project Manager and the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) will be the points of contact for management, accountability, security, quality, and task order compliance, and notification requirements discussed in other sections of this scope.
1.1.1. Proposals: The contractor’s tasking will be accomplished by individual Task Order
Proposal Request (TOPR) issued by the Contracting Officer (CO). Each task order will specify the specific FE/BR R&R, Vehicle Barrier Replacement, and any other physical security upgrade requirements to be performed at each Post. The contractor will site-adapt the DOS recommended upgrades by using the most current International Building Code
(IBC) as well as OBO Supplements and Specifications for FE/BR or Vehicle Barrier product installation, and physical and technical security. These Supplements and
Specifications are available in the Governments shared data system ProjNet. The TOPR will define what the Government expects and requires the contractor to perform and will provide the contractor with appropriate documentation to assist the contractor in execution of the task. In addition, the TOPR will specify the level of personnel security clearances required to perform the given tasks (Secret or Top Secret), whether the post/site of performance has been designated as a specific HUMINT threat post requiring additional clearance and suitability determinations, whether COMSEC/crypto read- in will be required, as well as any special materials handling requirements. All task orders require travelers to attend the High Threat Security Overseas Seminar (HTSOS) online course prior to traveling to any Posts. HTSOS completion certificates must be included in eCC requests.
1.2. Objective and Task Orders: This contract is to perform design/build FE/BR R&R, Vehicle
Barrier Replacement, modular hardline wall sections and other physical security upgrades at
Posts throughout the world. It is critical that the site survey and subsequent design & construction documents be accurate and complete. Section C.2 of this document describes the responsibilities of contractor and the standards and specifications that they will follow. The contractor will deliver all FE/BR products, door hardware, vehicle barriers and all associated equipment to Post as specified in the TOPR. A partial listing of approved equipment/vendors is located in Section J. The remainder of this document defines the general and minimum tasks the contractor may perform in support of DOS and the United States Government (USG).
There is no requirement for an A/E firm in this ID/IQ proposal. In the rare case a design is needed, the requirement will be detailed in the individual Task Order Proposal Request
(TOPR).
1.3. Quality and Standards: Quality and standards for this contract shall strictly conform to the
March 2019 requirements stated in Section E and J. Designing modifications of any kind to an existing building will be difficult, particularly when the modifications must be inconspicuous.
Achieving the required level of protection for the embassy’s occupants is paramount, and the performance of the security enhancements must not be compromised. In some situations there may be few viable options on where and how to install the FE/BR products. Experience has shown, however, that with some extra thought and effort, designers and installers must make security upgrades unobtrusive without diluting their effectiveness.
1.3.1. Preserving Embassy Appearance: In protecting the appearance of an embassy as these modifications are made, the “public face” must be the second priority after proper installation of the products themselves. Typically this includes at least the front façade and roof of the chancery and any other interior or exterior spaces seen by the public, but no two embassies are alike and each must be evaluated individually. Furthermore, as
FE/BR products are specified, color, and finish selection shall correspond to existing, unless otherwise specified in the TOPR. Attention shall also be given to the concealment of any new conduit connecting the equipment. In such cases, the wiring or conduit will be placed under ledges, in corners, or similar unobtrusive locations where shadows or construction can help conceal it, with the actual locations approved by the COR prior to the commencement of work.
1.3.2. Maintaining a Favorable Embassy Image: The importance of minimizing negative visual elements that undermine the friendly and open image, whether in the initial design of a building or as subsequent modifications are made, should not be taken lightly. The contractor shall understand that Diplomatic Facilities are more than convenient platforms for FE/BR products. The contractor will keep this issue in mind, and make every effort to design and construct security enhancements that preserve, and when possible enhance, the function and appearance of the facility.
2. CONTRACT ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS
2.1. Task Order Phases: The required services will be performed using a two-phase approach. The contractor shall submit a firm fixed price proposal to complete the entire project (Phase I
Design and Phase II Construction phases) as indicated in the TOPR letter issued by the
Contracting Officer. During the pre-proposal site visit, the contractor will review the TOPR, Statement of Work and any specified FE/BR R&R, Vehicle Barrier Replacement, modular hardline wall sections and physical or technical security upgrade work to be accomplished.
The attendees on the pre-bid visit must be direct employees and cleared American staff of the prime contractor. The contractor shall become familiar with the Statement of Work and the DOS standards and guidance provided in the Section J attachments. Anchorage information that is provided in the TOPR, must be validated during the pre-proposal site visit. The contractor is required to investigate the site and the existing conditions affecting the work as required per contract clause 52.236-3 Site Investigation and Conditions Affecting the Work. These inspections will include drilling and/or demolition work as approved by the FE/BR Specialist present on-site during the pre-proposal site visit. After award no changes will be accepted to what was described in the TOPR or Amendments as the existing conditions, except when a
Differing Site Condition as described in contract clause 52.236-2 Differing Site Conditions, applies. Offerors shall submit questions if site conditions are deemed to be at variance with the
RFP or TOPR. If any work will be conducted in Controlled Access Areas (CAA) and/or
Public Access Control (PAC) hardlines, contractor and COR shall identify all requirements as they pertain to development of a Construction Security Plan (CSP), to include but not limited to the following:
• Determine requirements for blind procurement and secure shipment of FE/BR products and construction materials
