1.10.3 Government 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 for each BPA call (order). 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 for each BPA call (order).

1.10.4 Government Surveillance of Contractor Performance. In order to supplement the

Contractor’s QCP, WAPA personnel will verify contractor compliance with essential performance requirements on each BPA call (order). The Government may use various methods to perform surveillance of Contractor performance, including customer input, random sampling, periodic inspection, contractor reporting, etc.

1.10.5 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 WAPA’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. In the case of unacceptable performance, the contractor may be required to re-accomplish the tasks that were deemed unacceptable at no additional cost to the Government. Instructions for completing the CDR are as follows:

1.10.5.1 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.

1.10.5.2 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.

1.10.5.3 The Contractor must complete Blocks 7 through 10 and return the CDR to the

CO within the specified period on the cover letter.

1.10.5.4 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.

1.10.5.5 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

1.10.5.6 The COR will complete Blocks 13a and 13b. The CO signs the CDR in Block

13c. These signatures indicate concurrence with the actions taken.

Contractor Signage for Projects 8 Days or Longer (Off-Road Regulation)

(A) “Who does the In-Use Off-Road Regulation Apply to?

The In-Use Off-Road Diesel-Fueled Fleets Regulation (Off-Road Regulation) applies to all self-propelled off-road diesel vehicles 25 horsepower or greater and most two-engine vehicles (except onroad two-engine sweepers) owned or operated in California. This includes vehicles that are rented or leased (rental or leased fleets).”

(B) “In-Use Off-Road Regulation Requirements Idling Limit: Vehicles cannot idle longer than five minutes. There are exceptions for vehicles that need to idle to perform work.

Labeling: Vehicles must be labeled with a CARB assigned equipment identification number (EIN). The EIN shall be white on a red background, unless the vehicle is part of a captive attainment area fleet, in which case the EIN shall be white on a green background.

The EIN shall be located in clear view on both sides of the outside of the vehicle.”

(C) “How to Report Observed Noncompliance If you have information regarding possible violations of the In-use Off-road Diesel Regulation, fill out a complaint form at https://calepacomplaints.secure.force.com/complaints/Complaint, or email dieselcomplaints@arb.ca.gov the following information:

1. The name of the party that is responsible for the vehicle that was observed to be noncompliant;

2. The Business’s name;

3. The job site location (including address, city, and Zip, or coordinates);

4. The following information for the vehicle you observed to be noncompliant:

a. EIN, if observed;

b. A description of the vehicle type if the EIN is unknown; and

c. Photos of the vehicle, where possible; and 5. A description of the noncompliance you observed.”

Sampling Techniques and Equipment Examples

Examples of sampling ports and valves

The sample port on this bushing is small, but large enough for a pipette.

Impact drill fitted with a socket to access the port.

Another style of port.

Opening of this port using a simple ratchet by hand.

These two bushings have identical ports. In the first the port is sealed; in the second the port has been opened and can be sampled. An impact drill with a flathead screwdriver bit was used to open these ports.

This piece of equipment had a large plate over the port, which had to be removed before a sample could be taken. The second photo shows that the hex bolt holding the sampling port was on too tight. Another hole was drilled beside it to take the sample. Additionally, the escorting electrician told us this one had no oil.

Unscrewing a sample port by hand

The port on this one was unscrewed, and the bushing was tipped over the sample bottle.

With the next bushing of a similar make, it was easier to take the sample with a pipette.

This is an example of another type of sampling port. This one could be removed with a ratchet and the correct socket.

Most larger equipment has sample ports. This oil circuit breaker has three of them.

This voltage transformer has been marked properly as excess with a big orange “X,” it is sample number 32, and it has a sampling valve at the bottom. Most of the larger pieces of equipment have a sampling valve.

Ensuring the valve is closed, Remove the square bolt.

Slowly open the valve to obtain the sample. Close the valve quickly following sampling.

This is a current transformer.

In this photo the top cover at the top has been removed.

Here is a view of the sample port, which would otherwise be hidden by the cover in the previous picture.

This operator is removing the top part of a three piece unit.

In these photographs, the operators are removing the top two portions of the equipment to ready them for sampling.

This operator is drilling a hole in the top portion of the unit to obtain the sample.

This photograph shows the middle portion of the equipment prepared for sampling.

This photograph shows operators removing the oil sample from the equipment with a sampling syringe.

These photos show the equipment post sampling. The hole has been filled by a screw and gasket sealer.

Then the top was covered with silicon waterproofing. Another thing to note here is that there is a port with a band across it saying “do not remove” This may be an indicator that the item is spring loaded, and that there is a safety hazard associated with opening the port at that location.

This is an example of a product which can be used to seal sampling holes.

This photograph shows several items of equipment in a row. The top and middle units contain oil as in the preceding photographs. The cabinets in the bottom portion often contain capacitors. In older units these capacitors sometimes contain high levels of PCB.

This photograph shows a capacitor which has been removed from one of the cabinets in the preceding photo. When older equipment is sampled, associated capacitors should be removed from cabinets and sampled as well, if they do not have a label like the one above.
