SCOPE OF WORK. The Simplified Acquisition of Base Engineer Requirements (SABER) contract is to provide a broad range of maintenance, repair, and minor construction work on real property at Joint Base Andrews (JBA) and its mission partner sites Davidsonville, Brandywine and AF Memorial and Joint Base Anacostia Bolling (JBAB) and its tenants. The contractor shall provide all facilities, material, labor, equipment, environmental controls, transportation and supervision necessary to perform the SABER program requirements.
The primary goal of the Civil Engineering Squadrons at JBA and JBAB is swift acquisition of engineering requirements where Contractor responsiveness is paramount. The contractor shall be required to maintain a management office on JBA to perform all general management operations associated with this contract. In accordance with FAR 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting, the prime contractor shall perform at least 15 percent of the cost of the contract with its own employees. If performing construction by special trade contractor work, the prime contractor shall perform at least 25 percent of the cost of the contract with its own employees. In both instances, the cost of work performed shall not include additional material costs not included in RS Means. All project time and schedules for this contract are calculated and represented as calendar days. [NOTE: the attached Technical Exhibits (TE’s) are mandatory and considered part of this Scope of Work].
1.1. .ORDERING PROCEDURES: The Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) resides at JBA and both
JBA and JBAB will have contracting officers, who reside in each bases respective contracting squadrons, who will execute task orders (TO’s) against this contract and they will be referred to as Task Order Contracting Officers (TO CO’s). During the contract period, the Government will identify required construction projects. Once the TO CO notifies the Contractor of an existing requirement, the Contractor shall expeditiously prepare a proposal within 10 calendar days. TO’s will include projects from up to 35% design through construction completion. TO’s will include, but are not limited to, minor construction, and interior/exterior remodeling, renovation, and repairs. Project disciplines may include, but not be limited to, one or more of the following: structural, architectural, mechanical, plumbing, communications, intrusion/detection, audio/visual systems, and electrical disciplines, petroleum/oil/lubricants systems, asphalt and concrete pavements, masonry, various roofing systems, earthworks and landscaping, aerial and underground utilities, power and heat generation. Each base will administer and provide oversight of their respective projects and TO’s. Before implementing any change that will result in an increase/decrease in contract price, the contractor shall submit to the TO CO a price proposal within 10 calendar days following receipt of the change by the contractor. The TO CO and the contractor shall negotiate the change into the TO under the provisions of FAR 52.243-4;
“Changes”. Failure of the contractor to submit a price proposal within 30 calendar days following receipt of the change, entitles the Government to performance according to such change performance according to such change at no increase in contract TO price (unless the time requirement is waived by the Contracting Officer TO CO according to paragraph (e) of the changes clause).
1.2. CONTRACTOR COEFFICIENT. In each TO, the contractor shall provide to the Government certain labor, equipment, materials, and rentals/fees that are considered field overhead and therefore part of the contractor’s coefficient.
