Chapter 1

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND

The United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) will transition to a facility currently under construction. The Comprehensive Interior Design (CID) calls for approximately 15,000 individual items, of approx. 400 item types to be purchased and installed.

1.2 CONTRACT INTENT

The intent of the contract not only to furnish the new facility, but to do so with professional project management, high quality, flexibility, and adaptability.

Project management and quality are directly addressed in the content of this PWS. Flexibility and adaptability will be achieved in the nature of this contract. All items of work will be pre-priced; purchase orders will be released for combinations of these items matching the space requirement and timing of a ‘wave’. Waves will be worked in series or parallel until the facility is completely furnished.

After the successful furnishing of the new facility, the contract will shift into Furnishings Support. When a mission requirement requires furnishing alteration, the Contractor will provide labor and materials to execute the alteration.

1.3 Contract Style

The structure of this contract is adapted from construction contracts. The PWS is analogous to a construction project's 'Combined Project Manual', the submittal process and supporting software is built for construction projects, and the CID represents the plans and specifications of construction. The above is mentioned to plainly identify the source of potential terminology confusion and the identify bias towards construction terminology.

Chapter 2

2 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

2.1 Contract Structure

The scope of this contract is broken down into two distinct categories: Furnishings Fit-out, and Furnishings support. Due to transition schedule, it is possible to be in FFO stage in parts of the facility and support stage in others within the duration of this contract.

2.1.1 Furnishings Fit-out (FFO)

The contract will initiate in the FFO stage. In this stage, the Government and Contractor will partner to finalize space layouts (see Sections and 2.6, 3.4.2, and 6.2.1). The final space layouts will be packaged into smaller sub-sections, called waves. Item quantities will be totaled for each wave, matched to the line item cost multiplied, and totaled.

The Government reserves the right to change the quantity of line items and/or timing of each wave between solicitation/award and the issuance of the delivery order for said wave based on the requirements of PMO/Transition and the space occupants. The Contractor shall incorporate all changes into their project execution.

The FFO stage will be complete for a delivery order when all spaces requiring furnishings are successfully completed per the Contractor Quality Control (CQC) plan (see Chapter 7).

2.1.2 Furnishings Support

USSTRATCOM requires support for furnishings break/fix (trouble ticket) and furnishings alteration projects. The Contractor will perform these duties in addition to the warranty work as described in Sections 3.10 and 6.5.

2.1.2.1 Furnishings Break/fix

The Contractor will provide labor to repair/restore furnishings to full functionality within two hours of notice an issue on days where a furniture crew is on-site due to a furnishings alteration project. When the Contractor is not on-site, repair shall be made within five business days. The Contractor shall provide the COR with written explanation of why the above restoration time cannot be achieved prior to expiration, as required, per trouble ticket.

To minimize inoperable time to the user, the Government will fund four (4) man-hours worth of repair when the project enters the Furnishings Support stage. The Contractor will document the number of manhours spent on each issue and submit to the COR. The Government intends to keep the balance at four hours for the life of the contract via supplemental payments.

All trouble ticket work will be repaired via item warranty until the expiration thereof.

2.1.2.2 Furnishings Alteration Projects

In general, the execution of a future project will require the same work items identified in this PWS as the FFO stage.

The Contractor will provide design services, procurement/logistical support, and furnishing installation for the scope identified by the Government.

2.1.2.3 WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT

The Contractor will be responsible for maintaining an accurate inventory of all furnishings items in USSTRATCOM warehouses. Inventories show all components required to assemble furnishings and all individual items. The Contractor will provide the inventory to the COR on a monthly basis and as requested.

2.2 Submittals

The Government intends to use the Textura Corporations software platform Submittal Exchange (SE). All submittals to the Government will be sent via this system. When submiting a physical sample (or anything that cannot be submitted electronicly), electronic documentation of the submittal will be placed into SE. Textura group will enter the required submittals and approval flows into SE; however, the Government and Contractor will jointly verify that all required submittals are covered. The Government and Contractor will work together to established a shared understanding of the submittal process and required submittals.

The Government is working to certify Submittal Exchange as a Software-as-a-Service, per the pertinent DOD guidelines. In the event Submittal Exchange fails to be certified, the Contractor must be prepared to execute submittals in the traditional fashion. Traditional submittal process shall be objective based: successful submittal exchange and documentation of approvals. Therefore the Government will not dictate the means and methods (hard or soft copy, etc).

The Contractor is responsible for total management of his work including approval, scheduling, control, and certification of all submittals. The Contractor's submittal process shall be a complete system to provide verification to the Government that the quality of materials, equipment and workmanship provided by manufacturers, fabricators, suppliers and subcontractors meet CID specifications. The Contractor shall review each submittal for contract compliance. This review is based on the PWS and CID drawings and specifications. Submittals that comply will be forwarded to the Government. No procurement or installation activities are to be performed until required approvals of applicable submittals have been made.

The Contracting Officer may request submittals in addition to those specified when deemed necessary to adequately describe the work covered in the respective sections.

Units of weights and measures used on all submittals are to be the same as those used in the PWS and CID.

A notation shall be made on each shop drawing submitted as to the item's specific use, either by the particular type number reference in the CID; or in the PWS: by a reference to the applicable paragraph of the PWS, or by a description of its specific location.

Each submittal is to be complete and in sufficient detail to allow ready determination of compliance with contract requirements.

Contractor shall internally check and approve all items prior to submittal and stamp, sign, and date indicating action taken. Proposed deviations from the contract requirements are to be clearly identified. Include within submittals items such as: Contractor's, manufacturer's, or fabricator's drawings; descriptive literature including (but not limited to) catalog cuts, diagrams, operating charts or curves; test reports; samples; O&M manuals (including parts list); certifications; warranties; and other such required submittals.

Submittals requiring Government approval are to be scheduled and made prior to the acquisition of the material or equipment covered thereby. Pick up and dispose of samples not incorporated into the work in accordance with manufacturer's Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and in compliance with existing laws and regulations.

2.2.1 Deviations

Shop drawings shall represent the equipment and material requirements as specified herein and in the CID. Where shop drawings deviate from the specifications or drawings, the Contractor shall inform the Contracting Officer in writing and clearly indicate the deviations and the reasons therefore. Such deviations shall be evaluated and, if accepted, will be processed as a modification to the contract. The contract PWS and CID shall govern over shop drawings, even though approved by the Government, where the Contractor has not identified a deviation to the Contracting Officer. In such cases, the Contractor will be required to comply with the contract specifications and drawings at no additional cost to the Government.

2.2.2 Variations

Variations from contract requirements require Government approval pursuant to contract Clause FAR 52.251-?? and will be considered where advantageous to Government.

2.2.2.1 Considering Variations

Discussion with Contracting Officer prior to submission, after consulting with the COR, will help ensure functional and quality requirements are met and minimize rejections and re-submittals. When contemplating a variation which results in lower cost, specifically mention the potential savings in the transmittal letter.

Specifically point out variations from contract requirements in transmittal letters. Failure to point out deviations may result in the Government requiring rejection and removal/replacement of such items at no additional cost to the Government.

2.2.2.2 Proposing Variations

When proposing variation, deliver written request to the Contracting Officer, with documentation of the nature and features of the variation and why the variation is desirable and beneficial to Government. If lower cost is a benefit, also include an estimate of the cost savings. In addition to documentation required for variation, include the submittals required for the item. Clearly mark the proposed variation in all documentation.

2.2.3 Submittal Register and Requirements

Submittal Exchange will be used as the submittal register.

Prepare and maintain submittal register, as the work progresses. Maintain a submittal register for the project in accordance with Chapter 7 Fit-out Quality Control. The Government will provide the initial submittal register in electronic format.
