0. Upon issuance of a task order, the Contractor will diligently complete all work within the time frames specified in the task order and approved progress schedules. The Contractor shall perform all necessary quality control functions to ensure the work is executed in compliance with the terms of the task order and this contract.

1. DEFINITIONS:

1. The following definitions apply to all work required by this solicitation and the resulting contract:

1. Construction Cost Proposal: A detailed construction cost proposal shall be prepared for each task order showing each division of work, line items under the division, quantity and cost. The cost proposal shall be accomplished by the Contractor from approved drawings and/or the Government-provided Statement of Need (SON).

1. Controlled Areas: See Restricted Work Areas, Section 2.15 below.

1. Government-Furnished Equipment / Government-Furnished Property (GFE / GFP): Items provided by the Government to the Contractor for use in performance of this contract. Any Government Furnished Items will be identified per task order. Any request for trailers shall be coordinated through 60 CONS.

1. Notice to Proceed (NTP): Formal notification from the Contracting Officer to the Contractor to begin performance on a specified project, to include ordering of materials. The NTP identifies the effective start date of the project performance and the scheduled completion date and/or number of days remaining in the performance time.

1. Pre-Construction Conference: A meeting attended by designated representatives of the Government and the Contractor after project award but before the start of work to discuss all aspects of the required work for a specific project.

1. Pre-Final Inspection: An examination requested by the Contractor, with Government representatives present, to identify and correct all work discrepancies prior to requesting a final inspection by the Government.

1. Progress Meeting: A meeting attended by designated representatives of the Government and Contractor to discuss progress on existing and/or potential projects as well as the basic contract performance.

1. Proposal Package: The Contractor’s technical and cost proposals provided in response to the Contracting Officer’s Task Order Proposal Request (TOPR).

1. Restricted Work Areas: Areas of performance on Government property with increased security requirements within which the Contractor is not allowed free access to the work site, cannot enter and exit freely, and will be required to be under escort during performance of the project. Personnel and equipment entry will be subject to delays due to security processing.

1. Scope of Work: A Government-produced rough description of work tasks to be accomplished. This differs from the Contractor-produced Statement of Work, which is a more detailed description of exactly how the Contractor will complete the project.

1. Scoping Meetings: A reasonable number of meetings attended by representatives of the Government and the Contractor to discuss and define the work requirements of each project in sufficient detail to allow the Government to develop a Statement of Need (SON) and the Contractor to prepare a Statement of Work (SOW), required drawings, material submittal forms, and all else necessary to successfully complete the project.

1. Site Visits: A reasonable number of investigative visits to a location at which work has been proposed by the Government to be done by the Contractor. The purpose of the visit is for the Contractor to gather enough information to prepare the Statement of Work, drawings, and construction cost proposal, and for the Government to prepare or revise a Scope of Work.

1. Statement of Work (SOW): A specific written description (in the quality, detail, and professionalism necessary) documenting the specific work required for each Government project. The SOW is prepared by the Contractor from a Government-supplied general Statement of Need (SON).

1. STANDARD VS. NON-STANDARD WORK HOURS:

2. Standard Working Hours: The Contractor shall generally be prepared to pursue contracted tasks during the standard working period of 0700 to 1700 hours (7:00 a.m. to 5 p.m.), Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays. The Contractor may elect to work hours other than standard duty hours provided that:

0. The request is submitted in writing at least three (3) workdays in advance.

0. The Contracting Officer approves the request.

0. Work performed outside standard working hours or on weekends or federal holidays that the Contractor chooses to perform during non-standard hours will be considered and charged as standard hours.

1. CONTRACT START-UP AND COMPLETION PERIOD:

3. The contractor’s proposal will determine the time period reasonably necessary to perform all elements of the Task Order to include materials and labor.

3. Although the Government may issue task orders against this contract through the final date of the contract period of performance, the Contractor must physically complete all work outlined in any task order within 120 days after the date of contract end.

3. The Contractor is required to vacate any and all areas provided to him, including any office areas and individual work sites or storage yards, and remove all Contractor-owned equipment, within three (3) days of the conclusion of the final task order issued under this contract, whether by termination or natural completion, or within (14) calendar days of being notified in writing by the Contracting Officer at any other period during performance.

3. After the contract completion period, within 7 days, the Government will conduct a walkthrough of the Contractor’s formerly occupied areas. Any discrepancies, damages, and required cleanup will be notified to the Contractor in writing. The Contractor will have 48 hours to resolve the notification(s) from the Government. If the Contractor fails to resolve adequate cleanup or repair of damages, the cost for identified items may be completed by the Government or services procured from a third party, and charges billed to the Contractor.

1. CONTRACTOR-PROVIDED MATERIALS:

4. All Contractor-provided materials shall become the sole property of the Government.

4. Software Programs, Licenses, and Upgrades: Any software, licenses, manuals, or system upgrades as a result of construction on Travis AFB shall become sole property of the Government.

1. TASK ORDER PROCEDURES:

5. As the need exists for performance under the terms of this contract, the Contracting Officer (CO) will notify the Contractor of a potential performance requirement.

5. 60 CES will submit a project package to the Contracting Officer including a Statement of Need (SON) and AF Form 813 (Request for Environmental Impact Analysis), among other documents. The CO will then forward the Contractor a TOPR.

1. If the project incorporates any additional project items as optional CLINs, the SON will describe the anticipated details of that aspect of performance including performance period, consideration of mobilization and/or demobilization activities, progressive flow of construction activities, and the impact of additional performance on the task order (TO) as a whole.

1. Contractors may be requested to provide cost and technical proposals within the last quarter of the fiscal year in anticipation of fall out funds (money which is not yet obligated by the Government, but which is expected to become available prior to fiscal year end). In anticipation of this potential work, and the fast turnaround required at fiscal year-end to secure funds should they become available, Contractors may be asked to provide a cost and technical proposal at no liability to the Government to award the project.

5. Upon receipt of an TOPR, Contractors shall respond to the needs of the Government by scheduling a site visit through the CO within the timeline designated in the TOPR, generally three (3) or five (5) days from issuance of the TOPR. The site visit will be conducted in the company of the Contractors, contracting personnel, the end user or facility manager, and 60 CES at the proposed work site. If specific disciplines are needed at the meeting, other base agencies (fire department, safety, communications, etc.) may also be invited to attend.

5. Proposals will be evaluated on the basis of Lowest Price, Technically Acceptable methodology. Initially all proposals will be arranged by price. The lowest priced offeror will be reviewed for Technical Acceptability. Material, Labor, and the Scope of Work/SOW will be evaluated to ensure the contractor understands the work, has furnished an effective approach, and is line with the pricing. If the lowest priced is technically acceptable, award shall be made to that offeror.

5. Note: Any reference to any equipment, material, article or patented process by trade name, make or catalog number requested by the Government shall be regarded as establishing a standard of quality only.

5. The Contracting Officer will issue a task order against the contract using DD Form 1155 and will distribute the award to all parties. Construction performance will be based on the Contractor’s proposed construction schedule, in coordination with the end users requirements.

5. Typically, the work will not be complex and will not require a pre-construction meeting, bonding, a Contract Progress Schedule, or a contract progress report. However, when required, the Contractor, subcontractors, contracting, 60 CES, facility managers, and other pertinent base officials (i.e. Safety, Security Forces, Communications) will have a pre-construction meeting to discuss specific issues for the task order. At this meeting the Contractor will provide a construction schedule and timelines on an AF 3064 (Contract Progress Schedule, Attachment 1), if the period of performance is expected to exceed 60 days; Performance and Payment Bonds, as required; an SF 1413 (Statement and Acknowledgment, Attachment 2) for all tier levels of subcontractors needed for project completion; an AF 3000 (Material Approval Submittal, Attachment 3) for any known proposed materials; and any other documents as requested by the CO.

5. Actual construction on the site will not occur until an AF Form 103 (Base Civil Engineering Work Clearance Request) has been completed and the CO has approved the proposed start date.

5. If required by the SOW or SON, the Contractor will provide bi-weekly progress reports using AF 3065 (Contract Progress Report; Attachment 4), until project completion.

5. The Contractor may request a pre-final inspection for the purpose of having the Government assist in identifying potential problems or areas of correction required prior to the final inspection. The Contractor will request the pre-final inspection from the Contracting Officer and a date will be scheduled by the contracting office. Pre-final inspections will typically include the Contracting Officer and Contracting Administrator, 60 CES, Contractor personnel (to include subcontractors), requirements/end user personnel, operations and maintenance personnel, and representatives throughout the installation (fire, safety, security, etc.), as needed.

5. The Contractor will request a final inspection from the Contracting Officer three (3) working days prior to the desired date of inspection. The final inspection will typically include 60 CES, the Contractor, the CO, the Contracting Administrator and other base entities as needed. More information regarding final inspections is included in Section 14. 60 CES will have seven (7) working days to inspect the final work and establish acceptance or communicate discrepancies.

5. Prior to final invoicing, the Contractor will provide all as-builts, warranty items and documentation, and all other required documentation as outlined in this Statement of Work.
