1. PURPOSE, DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES, AND REQUIRED TASKS

1.1. PURPOSE

The purpose of the Vehicle Barriers (VB) Maintenance and Repair (M&R) Services Contract is to provide preventive maintenance (PM), inspection, and minor repair for operational vehicle barriers on Air Force, Air Force Reserve, and Air Force National Guard installations. Non-operational vehicle barriers would be allowed to be put on the contract once brought to operational status (cured by means other than this contract). Use of this standard PWS will be mandatory for all Air Force installations who choose to perform Active Vehicle Barrier (AVB) maintenance by contract. Installation already performing AVB maintenance by contract must incorporate this standards PWS after their existing contract expires. Installation performing AVB maintenance using their Base Operating Services/Base Maintenance Contracts (BOS/BMC) must include this standard PWS within the scope of their BOS/BMC contract during the next recompete. Use of this PWS will not be mandatory but is optional for Air Force National Guard and Air Force Reserve installations.

1.2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

The Contractor shall provide all personnel, labor, equipment, supplies, tools, materials, supervision, travel, periodic inspection, minor repair, and other items and services necessary to provide maintenance for PSFB vehicle barrier systems.

Vehicle barrier systems include, but are not limited to, actuators, control systems (including software), control wiring, circuitry, structural framework, lighting, spring assembly, hydraulic-related equipment, safety loops and other vehicle detection systems, switches, corresponding traffic lights, light duty drop arms, associated computerized systems, and control cabinets.

Work shall comply with all applicable commercial and United States (US) military standards/specifications as well as Federal, State, and local laws and regulations (see PWS Appendix C). It is the Contractor’s responsibility to manage the execution of the Performance Work Statement (PWS) requirements in such a manner as to maintain equipment operational rates in accordance with (IAW) PWS Table 2: Service Summary, minimize equipment downtime, and minimize costs per performance requirements listed below.

For the purpose of this contract, a barrier shall be defined as a crash rated system that operates as a single unit regardless of the number of lanes that the barrier restricts. Examples of a one (1) barrier unit include a single drop arm/raising bar regardless of the arm/bar length, a net barrier operated by a single actuator system regardless of the length of the net, a single wedge barrier operated by independent actuators, or a bank of bollards not-to-exceed (NTE) four (4) bollards that operate as a unit (see PWS Appendix C).

1.3. DESCRIPTION OF REQUIRED TASKS

1.3.1. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

The Contractor shall conduct the initial barrier PM service within thirty (30) days of Task Order award. The Contractor shall provide a total of four (4) each quarterly (or as identified in the Task Order) maintenance, inspections, and repair services. The frequency of PM will be identified by the ordering Contracting Officer (CO) at the Task Order level, and must be at least quarterly. PM services include those actions required to preserve and maintain the systems in such a condition to function efficiently. The Contractor must comply with the recommendations of the manufacturer, but the performance frequency shall be as determined by the ordering CO and included in the resultant contract and/or Task Order. The Contractor is responsible for obtaining the manufacturer specifications. If the manufacturer specifications are not available, the Contractor shall adhere to the following order of precedence (higher to lower): contents of this PWS, Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) requirements, and industry standards. The Contractor shall perform PM and will be responsible for the repair and replacement of all worn or failed components and parts. This includes, but is not limited to, installed additional systems (e.g. over speed and wrong way detection), video processing cards, Programmable Logic Controls (PLCs), relays, and parts which have reached their life expectancy and are prone to fail. Replacement parts shall be commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) items when available, fully compatible with existing systems, and detailed in the quarterly report (see PWS Section 7.1). All new or replacement PLCs shall be open source programmable code. The Contractor shall identify any additional in-scope repairs during PM (see PWS Section 8.3). (Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) A001 applies)

1.3.1.1. TECHNICAL DATA

The Contractor must acquire the OEM’s Operations and Maintenance (O&M) information and provide an electronic copy to the installation/base to accompany their O&M Plan (see PWS Section 6.1) at the time of contract proposal submission, if the Government does not provide this information for the vehicle barrier and equipment to the Contractor within the Contract Proposal Request (CPR).

1.3.1.2. BARRIER PITS

The Contractor must maintain the cleanliness of barrier pits, power units, and shafts, and must remove all debris such as trash, oil, absorbents, dirt, silt, leaves, pine-needles, snow, ice, and water. Winter weather may cause the barrier systems to become jammed with ice or snow. The Contractor must confirm that all scheduled PMs include procedures to ensure barrier heaters (as applicable), drainage systems, in-ground vehicle detection, and Infra-Red detection systems are operating properly. (CDRL A001)

1.3.1.3. ANNUAL TRAINING

The Contractor shall provide annual training sessions to facilitate proper use and operation of barrier systems at each barrier site covered in the contract. The Contractor shall schedule the training session to occur in conjunction with a scheduled PM visit. Training may be accomplished by the Lead Technician and/or the PM crew.

The Contractor shall summarize operations on laminated placards for placement in guard houses and other appropriate locations not accessible to unauthorized personnel. (CDRL A002)

1.3.1.4. PAINT/CORROSION CONTROL

The Contractor must re-paint the entire barrier structure during the summer PM session to include all metal parts below grade and the surface of the barrier and surrounding pavement. Summer PM will be established IAW the manufacturer’s recommended temperature and environmental recommendations for application. The Contractor must clean (pressure wash), remove corrosion, and apply primer and topcoat compatible with the barrier surface in compliance with industry and safety standards. Barrier systems, both active and passive, must be maintained and protected from corrosion with high adhesion paint such as Grip-Tite® paint or an equivalent adhesive paint. Paints used for pavement marking and delineation must conform to all Federal, State, and local laws and regulations (see PWS Appendix C).

For hot dipped steel component touch-up, the Contractor shall use zinc-rich paint applied to a clean, dry steel surface by either a brush or spray. Zinc-rich paints must contain either between 65 percent to 69 percent metallic zinc by weight or greater than 92 percent metallic zinc by weight in dry film. Paints containing zinc dust are classified as organic or inorganic, depending on the binder they contain. Inorganic binders are particularly suitable for paints applied in touch-up applications of undamaged hot-dip galvanized areas. The coating thickness for the paint must be 50 percent more than the surrounding coating thickness, but not greater than 4.0 mils (100 μm).

If the vehicle barriers require sandblasting of non-galvanized surfaces in lieu of pressure washing, the Contractor must submit a Service Order (SO) under the Additional In-Scope Work contract line item number (CLIN X004) of the basic contract for CO evaluation and approval (see PWS Section 8.2). If the vehicle barriers require sandblasting, the Contractor must sandblast bare metal and re-paint the entire barrier structure during summer PM including all metal parts below grade and the surface of the barrier and surrounding pavement, apply primer compatible with surface and topcoat, and apply applicable topcoat for the application in compliance with industry and safety standards. The requirement and frequency of this sandblasting option will be established by the installation and the Contracting Officer.

1.3.1.5. MINOR REPAIRS

The Contractor must, during PM, immediately service any system that is not operating properly as well as supply and install parts to keep the system functional. All labor and work required to perform minor repair shall be included under the firm-fixed-price (FFP) PM CLIN (see CLIN X001). Minor repairs consist of $50 per barrier per PM visit for parts and materials and shall be included in the FFP. The total cost of minor repair parts per PM visit must not exceed the aggregate amount of minor repair parts allowance per PM visit. For example, maintaining and inspecting eight (8) barriers each PM visit would provide an aggregate $400 allowance for minor parts each PM visit to be used on any combination of the eight (8) barriers within the contract. If the aggregate amount of total repair parts was $800, the Contractor is responsible for the first $400 of minor repair parts and materials. The Contractor must submit a SO to the CO for evaluation and approval for the remaining parts and materials cost under the Additional In-Scope Work CLIN.

All repairs greater than $50.00 but less than $2500, the contractor shall accept Government Purchase Card (GPC) as a method of payment for the parts/repairs. Quotes shall be provided to the COR with a minimum of the following:

1. A detailed description of the work and materials included in the quote, including a schedule, timeline and date or days the work will be completed within.

· The failure of a vehicle presence detection system to properly detect and prevent the activation of the vehicle barriers while a vehicle is located over the barrier.

· An AVB that engages automatically without human direction to activate.

4.4. GREEN PROCUREMENT PROGRAM (GPP)

The Green Procurement Program (GPP) is a mandatory Federal acquisition program that focuses on the purchase and use of environmentally preferable products and services. Many different items are covered by the GPP. Recycled-content products are designated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). “Bio-based” products made from renewable plant materials are designated by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Energy and water efficient products are designated by the Department of Energy (DoE). GPP also requires the Government to avoid purchasing Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) and EPA-designated Priority Chemicals. Environmentally preferable purchasing (EPP) is a voluntary program, and it encourages the purchase of goods and services that have decreased effects on human health and the environment (compared to the competing goods and services that serve the same purpose), but are not already required by one of the mandatory GPP elements.

Green Procurement is mandated except when the Contractor can show that the product with recycled content does not meet intended specifications, has excessive cost, or cannot be delivered in time to support the schedule of the contract. If the Contractor is unable to locate a specified product meeting the GPP requirement, identify the issue to the ordering CO or COR for guidance. GPP is based on legal requirements and the Department of Defense facilities are subject to enforcement action if these requirements are ignored.

The Contractor must make maximum use of products containing recovered materials that are EPA-designated items IAW Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Clause 52.223-17, Affirmative Procurement of EPA-Designated Items in Service and Construction Contracts. The list of EPA-designated items is available at https://www.epa.gov/smm/comprehensive-procurement-guideline-cpg-program. The Contractor must also make maximum use of products that are composed of the highest percent of recovered material or biobased content practicable, or at least meet, but may exceed, the minimum recovered materials or biobased content of an EPA- or USDA-designated product IAW FAR Clause 52.223-2, Affirmative Procurement of Biobased Products Under Service and Construction Contracts. The list of biobased products is available at http://www.biopreferred.gov.

8. SERVICE CALLS, SERVICE ORDERS, AND ADDITIONAL IN-SCOPE WORK

8.1. SERVICE CALL TYPES

Service Calls shall be separated into two (2) different categories: Emergency and Routine. The difference between Emergency and Routine is the on-site response time of two (2) hours for Emergency Service Calls vs. [twenty-four (24) hours or 1000 hours (the ordering installation’s local time) the next business day (whichever is greater)] for Routine Service Calls. The Government reserves the right to take emergency or routine actions necessary utilizing its own resources to correct any situation that can cause injury, death, or property damage, or impede traffic flow or base security.

8.1.1. EMERGENCY AND ROUTINE SERVICE CALLS

Upon official notification by the CO/COR or other means, the Contractor must have an appropriate Lead Technician contact the Government within [two (2) hours] to determine the scope of the problem and to attempt to resolve the situation over the telephone. If it is determined that the situation cannot be resolved via Telephone Support, the Contractor shall contact the CO/COR and request a Service Call approval to dispatch a Lead Technician to the site. The Contractor can request the CO provide the notice to proceed by telephone, text, or e-mail. The Contractor must be proactive in pursuance of immediate repairs during Emergency/Routine Service Calls. For example, if the Contractor knows a GRAB barrier was deployed and the shear pins need replacement, the Lead Technician should travel to the Service Call prepared to make the requisite repairs with known spare parts already in-hand or in-transit.

8.1.2. EMERGENCY

The Service Call must be designated an emergency if a repair is required to correct a situation that can cause injury, death, or property damage, impedes traffic flow at an ACP (example, an AVB stuck in the upright position), or due to security threat levels.

Required Response Time: The Lead Technician will be on-site within two (2) hours from approval by the CO. Within six (6) hours from arrival on-site, the Lead Technician must complete the troubleshooting, make the needed minor repairs (NTE $100 for parts per barrier per call) and/or system adjustments to return the barrier to operational status, or place the barrier into safe mode where traffic can operate over barriers safely until repairs can be completed. This is included in the FFP for Service Calls. If the barriers cannot be returned to operational status within six (6) hours and under the $100 minor parts threshold included in the FFP Service Call, the Contractor shall provide the CO/COR with a plan to repair before the Contractor leaves the site. The estimate and schedule for the proposed Service Order are required within forty-eight (48) hours unless otherwise negotiated by the CO. (CDRL A001)

8.1.3. ROUTINE

All other Service Calls shall be classified as Routine.

Required Response Time: The Lead Technician will be on-site within [twenty-four (24) hours or by 1000 hours (the ordering installation’s local time) the next business day (whichever is greater)] starting from approval by the CO. Within [six (6) hours] from arrival on-site, the Lead Technician shall complete the troubleshooting, make the needed minor repairs [(NTE $100 for parts per barrier per call)] and/or system adjustments to return the barrier to operational status, or place the barrier into safe mode where traffic can operate over barriers safely until repairs can be completed. This is included in the FFP for Service Calls. If the barriers cannot be returned to operational status within six (6) hours and under the $100 minor parts/call] threshold included in the FFP Service Call, the Contractor shall provide the CO/COR with a plan (estimate and schedule) to repair before the Contractor leaves the site. The estimate and schedule for the proposed Service Order are required within [forty-eight (48) hours] of the Service Call unless otherwise negotiated by the CO. (CDRL A001)

8.2. SERVICE ORDER

Once the qualified Lead Technician arrives on-site and determines the extent of the repair required, the Contractor shall notify the CO/COR of the scope and cost of the repairs. If the repairs cannot be made within the time six (6) hours or cost NTE $100 for parts per barrier per call limits of the Service Call per PWS Sections 8.1.2 and 8.1.3, the Contractor shall submit a SO for CO evaluation and approval. The official repair SO document shall include the relevant facts and proposed costs for the situation (see PWS Appendix D).

The Contractor shall be proactive in resolving repairs for the SO. For example, if the Contractor knows a GRAB barrier was deployed and the cable spreaders were damaged and the shear pins need replacement, the Lead Technician should travel to the SO prepared to make the requisite repairs with known spare parts already in-hand or in-transit. (CDRL A001)

8.3. ADDITIONAL IN-SCOPE WORK

Contracts for the performance of maintenance, modification, and repair of various items generally contain Additional In-Scope Work requirements. Additional In-Scope Work requirements task the Contractor to identify needed repairs and recommend corrective action during regular PM or during the performance of a Service Call. If identified, the Contractor shall submit a SO identifying the Additional In-Scope Work and, if appropriate, the CO may authorize the Contractor to proceed with the work. Additional in-scope work exceeding $3,500 may be recompeted IAW FAR 16.505 to ensure the best value for the Government.

When Additional In-Scope Work is required, the CO may issue a modification (Standard Form 30) to the contract using the Additional In-Scope Work CLIN (X004). The CO will evaluate and approve a SO to execute the Additional In-Scope Work identified by the Contractor during scheduled PM or during the performance of a Service Call.

Additional In-Scope Work requests must be determined by the CO to be within the scope of the basic contract. All Additional In-Scope Work shall be authorized prior to performance of the work, and the price of such work must be determined to be fair and reasonable by the ordering CO. (CDRL A001)

8.3.1. ADDITIONAL IN-SCOPE WORK IDENTIFIED DURING PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE CALLS During performance of PM, or as a result of an Emergency/Routine Service Call, unexpected equipment failures in excess of the minor repair parts allowance may be encountered. In this scenario, the Contractor must notify the CO/COR immediately. The notification will include a written statement to identify recommended repairs and recommend corrective action along with a SO indicating the date of completion to make the repair to include labor, material, travel, and incidental costs to accomplish the work. The Contractor shall not continue with any of the additional work discovered unless the CO authorizes it. The additional work authorization may be in the form of a modification to the contract on a Standard Form 30 issued by the CO, using the appropriate Additional In-Scope Work CLIN (X004) and establishing a separate subcontract line item (SubCLIN) for each instance of additional work. All additional work requirements must be determined by the CO within the scope of the contract, and the price of the additional work must be determined to be fair and reasonable by the CO.

Standard practice shall be to schedule and conduct non-critical Additional In-Scope Work during the normal PM cycles in order to reduce the amount of travel costs. Contractors are highly encouraged to prevent, mitigate, and eliminate unnecessary expense. In the case of critical repairs, it may be necessary for the Contractor to return to the installation outside the scheduled PM cycle to complete repairs once the materials become available.

8.3.2. ADDITIONAL IN-SCOPE WORK/SERVICE ORDER INFORMATION

The Contractor shall submit a Statement of Work (SOW) and an itemized breakdown of the cost or pricing data which has sufficient enough detail to substantiate all costs proposed for the SO. The breakdown shall describe all repairs involved for the Additional In-Scope Work. The following information shall be included in all SOs (see PWS Appendix D):

· The longest lead time for parts (or services, if applicable) must be indicated on the first page. Authorization shall be requested for long lead items which have a delivery period in excess of two (2) weeks.

· A SOW that is sufficiently detailed such that the work in the estimates provided can be tied back to the scope of the contract. The detailed scope must be provided on the first page.

· Supporting photographs of deficiency being repaired (if applicable).

· Identify the gate, lane (inbound or outbound), and priority of the work.

· Separate facilities tracking number for Additional In-Scope Work, if provided.

· Submit the facility request for maintenance on Air Force Form 332 Base Civil Engineer Work Request (http://static.e-publishing.af.mil/production/1/af_a4/form/af332/af332.pdf), if applicable.

· Provide the total cost for labor and material for the Additional In-Scope Work.

Material Pricing: Sufficient information must be provided for each SO material item to substantiate the item’s price. Manufacturer part numbers, key specifications, published catalog pricing, or product descriptions can be submitted to fulfill this requirement. In the case of proprietary equipment, the Contractor shall provide documentation that the prices provided have been charged on other contract numbers or on the General Services Administration’s (GSA) price lists. Pricing shall be considered valid for ninety (90) calendar days after the initial approval unless documentation from the Contractor is provided to verify a price increase has been implemented.

The Contractor must provide parts that are from the OEM or equal and fully compatible for use and do not void any applicable warranties. Replacement parts shall be COTS items when available and fully compatible with existing OEM systems and detailed in the quarterly report. Used or refurbished parts are acceptable if the Contractor’s proposal identified it as providing benefit to the Government.

Work hours, types of personnel performing the work (see PWS Section 3), and a description of the work to be performed shall be provided. The price breakdown shall include sufficient detail to permit an analysis of all costs associated with labor hours. Tasks shall be separated at the request of the Government if it is unclear as to where labor is allocated relative to the scope.

The SO shall be emailed to the ordering CO with the following subject line:

Contract Number, Service Order Number, Priority Level, and Site/Location

9. PERFORMANCE EVALUATION

9.1. SURVEILLANCE

Verification of performance objectives and surveillance for actual VB M&R services will be accomplished through CORs at the installation/base level. CORs will perform inspections and surveillance IAW the base-specific Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP), which shall contain the information within PWS Table 2: Services Summary. The COR will evaluate Contractor performance of the services listed in Table 2: Services Summary to determine if the performance thresholds are met, and all surveillance shall be documented with the QASP Checklist. All actions taken by the Contractor to correct deficiencies found by the Government as a result of quality assurance surveillance, and by the Contractor as a result of quality control, shall be at the Contractor’s own expense, and without additional reimbursement by the Government. Defective repairs shall be accomplished (referred to as a “callback”) within [five (5) business days]. Re-performance is the preferred method of correcting any unacceptable performance.
