SUMMARY OF WORK
| 1‐1 PROJECT | DESCRIPTION | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Provide | all | documents, | labor, | materials, | equipment, | and | oversight | to | MXDP | 16‐1040 | Replace | | | | | | | |
| Cooling | System, | B448. | | Services | are | required | to | replace | the | existing | central | energy | plant | at | Building | | | |
| 448 | with | a | new | cooling | system | and | reduce | the | rising | maintenance | costs | resulting | from | the | | | | |
| inefficient/inoperable | heating, | ventilation | and | air | conditioning | (HVAC) | system. | The | completed | | | | | | | | | |
| project | shall | include | the | replacement | of | the | chiller, | cooling | tower, | pumps | and | pipes. | Failure | to | | | | |
| provide | this | project | will | allow | numerous | dorm | rooms | in | building | 449 | and | 450 | to | remain | unusable | | | |
| due | to | the | lack | of | HVAC, | which | will | drive | up | the | cost | of | housing | students | on | the | local | economy. |
1‐2 REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
a. The project shall conform to all applicable Federal, State and local laws, regulations and base-specific standards and applicable Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC). Where there is a conflict between the referenced standards, the most stringent shall take precedence.

| b. The | Contractor | shall | ensure | that | only | qualified, | competent | personnel | carry | out | the | tasks | |
| outlined | in | this | SOW. | | Competent | is | defined | as | a | registered | professional | or, | where |

| not | expect | this | or | rely | on | it | unless | specified | in | the | contract | documents. | |
1‐10 BASE ACCESS AND SECURITY
| CRIMINAL | BACKGROUND | INVESTIGATION | CHECK | | | | | | | |

| period | of | 12 | months | for | contractors | without | a | break | in | service | working | on | LAFB | during | that | | | |
| time. | | However, | if | there | is | a | break | in | service | (work | on | base) | for | longer | than | 6 | months, | the |
| Contractor | will | have | to | resubmit | to | a | criminal | background | check. | | | | | | | | | |

| immediately | upon | discovery. | | All | AF | Form | 75 | and/or | contractor | badges | will | be | turned | in | at | |
| the | completion | of | stated | contract, | termination | of | employee, | debarment | from | base, | released | | | | | |

| considered | where | advantageous | to | Government. | | | | | | | |
| b. Discussion | with | Contracting | Officer | prior | to | submission | will | help | ensure | functional | and | |

| information | indicated | on, | or | attached | to, | the | approved | submittal. | | | Approval | of | a | separate |
| material, | product, | or | component | does | not | imply | approval | of | an | assembly | in | which | item | |

| relieve | the | Contractor | of | the | responsibility | for | any | error | which | may | exist, | as | the | Contractor |
| is | responsible | for | the | satisfactory | construction | of | all | work. | | After | submittals | have | been | |
| approved | by | the | Contracting | Officer, | no | resubmittal | for | the | purpose | of | substituting | | | |
