C.1 STATEMENT OF WORK/SPECIFICATIONS (APR 2006)

The Contractor shall furnish the necessary personnel, material, services, and facilities (except as otherwise specified), required to comply with the Statement of Work/Specifications, Drawings, and other documents included in Attachments J.1 through J.4.

1.0 BACKGROUND

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) manages and sustains active FST systems across the National Airspace System (NAS) to assure fielded systems meet operational readiness and environmental compliance requirements. Lifecycle guidelines have been established to aid in forecasting replacement requirements. Fielded FST systems are additionally exposed to influences that may generate replacement or repair requirements in advance of lifecycle guideline predictions. These include severe environmental conditions, impacts, changes in minimum regulatory standards, and similar intervening occurrences.

The FAA has identified FST systems that meet replacement criteria under lifecycle guideline or in response to intervening acts. The FST Program Office has verified that replacement of the FST systems is required to sustain critical operation capacity, preclude potential for assessment of regulatory non-compliance fines, and to assure the systems protect the surrounding natural and build environments.

This Statement of Work describes contractor requirements for this project, including:

o removal of the specified existing diesel underground fuel storage tank systems;

o provision and installation of replacement diesel fuel storage tank;

o provision and installation of diesel fuel storage tank monitoring system;

o removal and replacement of diesel fuel system service piping; and o documentation of field services.

The purpose of this effort is to provide the project management, materials, labor, equipment, tools, supplies, and field services needed to execute all project elements.

Contaminated soils are not expected to be encountered and are not considered part of this Statement of Work. Determinations on proper handling, storage, and/or disposal of contaminated soils shall be at the discretion of the Government.

The Contractor shall provide all permits, approvals and insurance coverage required by local, state and federal authorities. All work will be closely coordinated with each local authority for airport operations and will comply with all inspection requirements from project stakeholders.

I.2 FAR 52.204-1 APPROVAL OF CONTRACT (DEC 1989)

This contract is subject to the written approval of the Contracting Officer and shall not be binding until so approved.

I.3 FAR 52.215-19 NOTIFICATION OF OWNERSHIP CHANGES (OCT 1997)

(a) The Contractor shall make the following notifications in writing:

(1) When the Contractor becomes aware that a change in its ownership has occurred, or is certain to occur, that could result in changes in the valuation of its capitalized assets in the accounting records, the Contractor shall notify the Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO) within 30 days.

(2) The Contractor shall also notify the ACO within 30 days whenever changes to asset valuations or any other cost changes have occurred or are certain to occur as a result of a change in ownership.

(b) The Contractor shall -

(1) Maintain current, accurate, and complete inventory records of assets and their costs;

(2) Provide the ACO or designated representative ready access to the records upon request;

(3) Ensure that all individual and grouped assets, their capitalized values, accumulated depreciation or amortization, and remaining useful lives are identified accurately before and after each of the Contractor's ownership changes; and

(4) Retain and continue to maintain depreciation and amortization schedules based on the asset records maintained before each Contractor ownership change.

(c) The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause in all subcontracts under this contract that meet the applicability requirement of FAR 15.408(k).

I.4 FAR 52.225-9 BUY AMERICAN -CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS (MAY 2014)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause— “Commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) item”—

(1) Means any item of supply (including construction material) that is—

(i) A commercial item (as defined in paragraph (1) of the definition at FAR 2.101);

(ii) Sold in substantial quantities in the commercial marketplace; and

(iii) Offered to the Government, under a contract or subcontract at any tier, without modification, in the same form in which it is sold in the commercial marketplace; and

(2) Does not include bulk cargo, as defined in 46 U.S.C. 40102(4), such as agricultural products and petroleum products.

“Component” means an article, material, or supply incorporated directly into a construction material.

“Construction material” means an article, material, or supply brought to the construction site by the Contractor or a subcontractor for incorporation into the building or work. The term also includes an item brought to the site preassembled from articles, materials, or supplies. However, emergency life safety systems, such as emergency lighting, fire alarm, and audio evacuation systems, that are discrete systems incorporated into a public building or work and that are produced as complete systems, are evaluated as a single and distinct construction material regardless of when or how the individual parts or components of those systems are delivered to the construction site. Materials purchased directly by the Government are supplies, not construction material.

“Cost of components” means—

(3) For components purchased by the Contractor, the acquisition cost, including transportation costs to the place of incorporation into the construction material (whether or not such costs are paid to a domestic firm), and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free entry certificate is issued); or

(4) For components manufactured by the Contractor, all costs associated with the manufacture of the component, including transportation costs as described in paragraph (1) of this definition, plus allocable overhead costs, but excluding profit. Cost of components does not include any costs associated with the https://acquisition.gov/far/current/html/Subpart%202_1.html#wp1145508 http://uscode.house.gov/ manufacture of the construction material.

“Domestic construction material” means—

(1) An unmanufactured construction material mined or produced in the United States;

(2) A construction material manufactured in the United States, if—

(i) The cost of its components mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States exceeds 50 percent of the cost of all its components. Components of foreign origin of the same class or kind for which nonavailability determinations have been made are treated as domestic; or

(ii) The construction material is a COTS item.

“Foreign construction material” means a construction material other than a domestic construction material.

“United States” means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and outlying areas.

(b) Domestic preference.

(1) This clause implements 41 U.S.C. chapter 83, Buy American, by providing a preference for domestic construction material. In accordance with 41 U.S.C. 1907, the component test of the Buy American statute is waived for construction material that is a COTS item. (See FAR 12.505(a)(2)). The Contractor shall use only domestic construction material in performing this contract, except as provided in paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this clause.

(2) This requirement does not apply to information technology that is a commercial item or to the construction materials or components listed by the Government as follows:

[Contracting Officer to list applicable excepted materials or indicate “none”]

(3) The Contracting Officer may add other foreign construction material to the list in paragraph (b)(2) of this clause if the Government determines that—

(i) The cost of domestic construction material would be unreasonable.
