GENERAL RANGE LABOR AND MAINTENANCE CONTRACT

POLAND TRAINING AREAS

PART 1

GENERAL INFORMATION

1. General: This is a non-personal services contract to provide a labor team for general range maintenance labor support across multiple sites throughout Poland.

1.1. Description of Services / Introduction: The contractor shall provide all personnel, safety equipment, transportation, supervision, and other required items. Additionally, the contractor is responsible to provide non-personal services necessary to perform range, warehouse, and facilities labor as defined in this Performance Work Statement, except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The contractor shall perform to the standards trained by the Training Support Team Manager or his designated representative. The position requires general labor support for the Training Support Team (TST) containers, warehouses, ranges, and other facilities as required by the TST manager to the level demonstrated and/or trained by the TST manager and or his Department of the Army Civilian (DACs) staff. The work entails minor construction of wooden targets; building and removing temporary target positions; the removal from storage, preparation, transportation, emplacement, set-up, recovery, and return to storage of target lifters and accessories; and general duties within the warehouse of moving, packing, loading of Training Aids and Devices. The contractor shall work in close proximity with US Soldiers and DACs.

1.2. Background: Historically, a five (5) man labor team, with one individual serving as the lead laborer, has proven to be a sufficient labor force to accomplish the task required at one training location. The training support requirement in Poland will require us to service multiple training area simultaneously. We anticipate supporting training at up to five (5) different major training areas as well as some minor ranges throughout the region. The government wants a range labor contract which can be tailored to fit the mission requirement. The contract will provide the minimum number of laborers, which based on the current mission demands is ten (10), to execute a single support requirement. The labor support shall also exercise the ability to maneuver between ranges within the country as the mission dictates. The government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn, is responsible to the Government.

1.3. Scope: The contractor shall provide one general labor team. The Labor Team Leader shall receive labor tasks and support requirements from the TST Manager. Based on previous experience with a similar contract at other locations, the Government estimates that the optimal size of the Labor Team is two (2) individuals (per training location) to safely accomplish the tasks identified in this Performance Work Statement. The Labor Team Leader shall plan, supervise, direct, and participate in accomplishment of those tasks within the timeline specified by the TST Manager, and report potential problems, and results back to the TST Manager. Potential problems or issues which may result in mission failure must be report to the TST Manager in sufficient time to allow for adjustment to be made to ensure that the requirement is completed on schedule. The contractor shall accomplish all tasks to the level trained and or specified by the TST Manager or his staff representative.
