I. GENERAL

A. SCOPE OF WORK (SOW). This is an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for construction efforts at US Army Reserves 99th Readiness Division Area of Responsibility, to include Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia. The map of District is provided as an attachment. Under the Job Order Contracting (JOC) program, it is the Government’s clear expectation that projects executed against this contract shall exhibit superior quality, responsiveness, customer service as per each task order’s SOW. Each construction project will be awarded as an individual task order issued against the basic contract, specifying real property maintenance, repair, alteration, and/or new construction. The Contractor shall furnish all materials, labor, equipment, and strategic planning necessary to accomplish the work.

All communications MUST come through the PRIME Contractor, the Government will NOT accept communications directly form the subcontractor. The Contractor shall provide sufficient technical support and project management to assure quality, accuracy of estimates, accommodate a number of concurrent “active” projects, provide flexibility of design staff and subcontractor pool to handle rapid increases in work volume, perform according to schedule (including completion on time), and process submittals and payrolls in a timely manner.

B. WORK RESPONSIBILITY. The Contractor's work responsibility shall include all contractor planning, programming, administration, coordination, and management necessary to provide all work as specified in Task Orders and specific SOW. The work shall be conducted by the Contractor in strict accordance with the contract and all applicable Federal, State, and local laws, regulations, codes, or directives. The Contractor shall ensure that all work provided meets or exceeds critical reliability rates or tolerances specified or included in applicable documents.

The Contractor shall provide related services such as pre award project development; project management; quality control (QC); preparation, review, and submission of required deliverables, and performance of all associated administrative work required to satisfy requirements specified under this contract and individual orders. The prime contractor is responsible for ensuring that any subcontractor is not debarred or on the excluded list in sam.gov. The PRIME Contractor is responsible to access the location or project at site visit, pre-construction meetings, status meetings and close out meetings. The contractor may be called to the site for an immediate issue; therefore the Government will require the prime contractor to be within a 7 hours response time to all locations within the Region C district.

C. CONTRACT EXECUTION DOCUMENTS. The following documents shall be used in the execution of work under this contract: (The latest edition at time of price proposal submission) RSMeans Work Book which is considered the Unit Price Book (UPB).

a. The approved cost estimating method shall be utilized for all applicable pricing under this contract. Government designated RSMeans Cost Data is the method for this contract and associated task orders and it shall be the sole source of pre-priced costs. Work tasks required for completion of specific project requirements that are not considered part of the "complete, in-place construction" of UPB items or are not otherwise contained in the UPB are called non-pre-priced (NPP), and their use is defined herein. “Actual” market pricing is not relevant under this contract except when necessary for calculating non-pre-priced work tasks. Any difference between actual prices and UPB pricing shall not constitute grounds for failure to perform nor shall be grounds for any equitable adjustment in the price for the task order. It is the contractor’s responsibility to obtain and maintain a current version of the RSMeans Cost Data. Contractor will provide confirmation that they have a current version of R.S. Means at time of contract award.

b. RSMeans Cost Data and Facilities Maintenance Data contains net unit prices for the description of work to be accomplished at the unit of measure identified. These net prices provide consideration for all direct labor, materials, and equipment costs necessary for development of complete proposal(s). The contractor shall utilize Government format for task order price proposals. See Attachment 2.

c. All indirect costs shall be covered by the Contractor’s co-efficient(s). In addition to the costs defined in Appendix 1 and Section II. A, Definitions, the Contractor’s co-efficient(s) shall include consideration for anticipated yearly inflation and or other market fluctuations occurring through the end of the calendar year in advance of acquisition of the updated Cost Data (unless the Contractor opts to procure updated cost data more frequently from the vendor at no additional cost to the Government.

2. Contract Technical Specifications

a. The Technical Specifications to be utilized under this contract shall be the Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) for the purpose of specifying construction for the military services. The appropriate UFC may be accessed via the Internet. The Contractor shall note however that there is not necessarily a direct correlation between a particular specification number and a particular UPB Section number (e.g., Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS) 26 60 13 Low- Voltage Motors, and UPB Section 26 71 13 Motors), so the content of each applicable specification and UPB section will be reviewed for logical and reasonable applicability. These specifications may be further supplemented by the Government on a project-by-project basis as required with industry specifications, and result in no additional cost to the Government, provided that in the Government’s view, the supplemental specification supports and does not conflict with or clearly exceed the work described in the applicable UPB line item(s).

b. The purpose of these specifications is to furnish concise industrial and/or commercial standards for work and/or materials used in the maintenance and repair, or construction of Government facilities. The specifications will be used to define and enforce minimum requirements to meet the Government Specifications during the construction phase of each task order.

D. CONTRACTOR QUALITY CONTROL PLAN (QCP). The Contractor shall provide and maintain an effective Contractor quality control/inspection system which will ensure that all work performed under the contract conforms to contract requirements whether constructed or processed by the Contractor or procured from subcontractors or vendors In Accordance With (IAW) FAR clause 52.246-12. The approved Quality Control Plan will be applicable to all task orders.

The Contractor’s control plan will specifically include the surveillance and tests required in the technical provisions of the contract specifications. For purposes of the above description, shop manufacture or standard products are not defined as construction. Quality control personnel shall also be charged with the responsibility of policing Contractor’s Safety Program.
