PART 1 – GENERAL

1. GENERAL: This is a non-personal service contract to provide Logistics Readiness Assistance and Training Services on Fort Drum, NY (FDNY) and Fort Polk, LA (FPLA).

The following provisions shall apply to the performance of work under this contract:

1.1. SCOPE OF WORK: Provide the appropriate amounts of qualified labor to effectively and efficiently perform Logistics Readiness Assistance and Training Services on FDNY, and FPLA. Support provided shall be full time staffing to conduct Staff Assist Visits for 31 Battalion level and below units, assist Division G4 with Command Inspections for 7 Brigade level units and below, and teach not less than seven ATRRS Logistics courses and not less than four Non-ATRRS courses throughout the year. The specific efforts required of the Contractor are those task areas detailed in section five (5) of this document. The Contractor will perform non-personal services in these primary areas. The contractor shall ensure professional execution of this effort in support of the 10th Mountain Division units’ mission.

SCOPE OF WORK: Provide the appropriate amounts of qualified labor to effectively and efficiently perform Logistics Readiness Assistance and Training Services on FDNY, and FPLA. Support provided shall be full time staffing to instruct not less than seven ATRRS Logistics courses and not less than four Non-ATRRS courses throughout the year, conduct Staff Assist Visits for 31 Battalion level and below units, assist Division G4 with Command Inspections for 7 Brigade level units and below, and train, coach and develop Soldiers skills on specified logistics processes as requested. The specific efforts required of the Contractor are those task areas detailed in section five (5) of this document. The Contractor will perform non-personal services in these primary areas. The contractor shall ensure professional execution of this effort in support of the 10th Mountain Division units’ mission. In the event of a national emergency this contract shall have the capability to be surged. This service contract shall have a Period of Performance (POP) of 12 months plus four (4) option years.

1.1.1. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The 10th Mountain Division (LI) is required to train, mobilize, deploy, sustain, and reconstitute combat ready forces to meet requirements of Combatant Commanders across the full spectrum of operations. To meet worldwide deployment requirements, 10th Mountain Division (LI) units must be highly trained, well equipped, properly maintained, and logistically ready. Due to the complexity of systems, turn-over of personnel and unit operational tempo (OPTEMPO) a logistics readiness training support capability is required to sustain a basic level of knowledge and proficiency in the areas of GCSS-Army applications, supply operations, property accountability, property book operations, maintenance operations, deployment readiness, and Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosives (CBRNE) defense. The Contractor shall provide logistics expertise through training to increase and sustain Soldier knowledge in logistics, deployment readiness, CBRNE systems, maintenance systems and unit supply systems.

1.2. HOURS OF OPERATION: Contractor operating hours shall be consistent with normal core duty hours of Fort Drum unless otherwise directed by the Contracting Officer (KO) or the Contracting Officer Representative (COR). Normal core duty hours are 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday, excluding Government holidays or when the Government facility is closed due to local or national emergencies, administrative closings, or similar Government-directed facility closings. . The Contractor can expect that a portion of the work may be performed outside of these core hours and on weekends or holidays (use if needed).

1.2.1. DOWN DAYS/WEATHER DELAYS: The Fort Drum area is prone to heavy snow during the winter, which can often result in delays to the start of the work shift or cancellation of the workday entirely. The Fort Polk area is prone to hurricanes and tornadoes, which may also result in delays or work cancellation. These delays apply to all “Non-Mission Essential” personnel. Contractors are not mission essential personnel and shall abide by the delay or workday cancellation. These delays are broadcast by Fort Drum and Fort Polk Alert System and on local television and radio stations. The Contractor Project Manager (PM) shall notify each contractor on the team of the closure or delay, either directly or through a contact roster chain notification system.

1.2.2. RESCHEDULING: Time lost due to weather delays/closures, electrical outages and other cases of workplace non-availability will be addressed on a case by case basis. The COR will coordinate with the contract PM and will come to a consensus of whether to reschedule based upon mission requirements and the time of occurrence in the work week (i.e. end or beginning of period). A modified work schedule to compensate for lost work performance is highly encouraged, and must be authorized by the COR and the PM. Extended work days may be implemented to accomplish the 40 hours per week workload requirement when approved by the COR and PM. This decision will be made upon evaluation as soon after the occurrence of delay as possible. The intent is to make this decision within the first 2-3 hours after reporting for duty after the lost time occurs.

1.3. CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL: For the purpose of this contract, the term “Contractor personnel” applies to all Contractor employees, subcontractor employees, or any other person(s) acting for or on behalf of the Contractor to perform work on this contract.

Projects involving ANY habitat modification (e.g., vegetation removal) must be addressed by Fort Drum's Fish and Wildlife Management Program. In general, no trees greater than 3 inches (diameter breast height) may be cut from 16 April - 15 October to avoid any direct adverse effects to these bats. Clearing of natural vegetation (e.g., shrubs and trees) less than 3 inches diameter breast height (DBH) should typically occur between August 1 and April 15 annually to minimize the impact to migratory birds and to maintain foraging areas for bats. The contractor (and all subcontractors) shall be responsible for coordination with Fort Drum's Fish & Wildlife Management Program to ensure compliance with the Endangered Species Act and all other applicable laws and regulations pertaining to wildlife. Overall the contractor (and all subcontractors) shall minimize interference with, disturbance to, and damage to plants, fish, wildlife, and their habitats on and adjacent to the project area.

If the building has pre-existing known bat colonies, then Fort Drum's Fish and Wildlife Management Program must be contacted before demolition is to occur. (At this time, the only structures known to contain bat colonies are within the historic LeRay Area.).

1.7.6.5 All bats found must be immediately reported to Fort Drum's Fish and Wildlife Management Program (772-4999 or 772-9636). Do not attempt to handle any live bats, regardless of condition. If a live bat is found in a building please contact 772-2072 or 772-4999.

1.7.6.6 Light minimization measures are to be incorporated for all exterior lighting that may include but are not limited to full cutoffs, reflectors, shields, downward angling of lights and/or reduction of correlated color temperatures to reduce blue-rich, white light. Fort Drum's Fish and Wildlife Management Program must be contacted for detailed requirements that must be followed to the maximum extent possible.

1.7.6.7 No night lighting for construction projects is authorized without prior coordination and authorization from the project manager and Fort Drum's Fish and Wildlife Management Program.

1.7.6.8 Project planning and design should attempt to minimize building footprints by combining infrastructure (i.e. roads, utility lines, etc.) for multiple buildings or by constructing multi-story versus multiple or expanded single story buildings whenever possible.

1.7.6.9 Pesticide usage shall be in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local requirements.
