1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES.

1.1. BASIC SERVICES.

This is a non-personnel services contract to provide protective coating maintenance for a 45T

Washington Iron Works Portal Crane located on Wharf Alpha for the 628th Logistics

Readiness Squadron at Joint Base Charleston, Naval Weapons Station (JB CHS NWS) in Goose

Creek, South Carolina. The government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein.

1.2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES/OBJECTIVES.

The contractor shall provide all management, personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to remove/control lead-based paint and perform protective coating maintenance as defined in this

Performance Work Statement (PWS) except for those items specified as Government Furnished

Property and services. The Contractor is responsible for and required to implement, and maintain management control systems necessary to plan, organize, direct, and control all activities under this contract. The Contractor shall be responsible for maintaining communication with the Contracting Officer (CO), and to immediately notify the CO of any problems preventing timely performance of this contract.

1.3. BACKGROUND.

The Portal Crane was manufactured in 1969. The base structure of the Crane is approximately

40 feet in length, 48 feet in width and 104 feet in height. The boom is approximately 111 feet in length. The interior mechanical house is approximately 45 feet in length, 35 feet in width and 20 feet in height. No records of past protective coating maintenance services exist. A lead-based paint assessment was conducted in 2017. For the purpose of this assessment, painted surfaces with lead concentrations exceeding the SCDHEC limit (0.7 mg/cm2) are considered lead-based paint. Based on the 2017 assessment(s), the painted surfaces on the crane exhibited lead concentrations meeting or exceeding the SCDHEC disposal limit. The Contractor will be required to take environmental precautions when removing, collecting, containerizing and disposing of all paint waste materials. Destructive actions to paint containing any amount of lead

(component removal, demolition, sanding, grinding, welding, paint preparation, etc.), require compliance with the standards of OSHA 29 CFR 1926.62, including, but not limited to training, initial exposure monitoring, the use of personal protective equipment, and medical surveillance, unless objective airborne exposure monitoring indicates otherwise.

1.4. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE.

Desired duration of work is 60 calendar days or less. Upon receipt of a notice-to-proceed (NTP), the Contractor shall begin work within 14 days. No work shall commence until full coordination is accomplished and the CO issues an NTP to the Contractor. The performance period shall be calculated from the NTP date. The Contractor shall submit a project schedule in sufficient detail that identifies each task required to complete the project and the expected completion date(s).

The pre-performance meeting will be held no sooner than 10 days after award.
