PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

55TH WING CONSTRUCTION ENTRY CONTROL POINT SUPPORT

07 July 2021

SCOPE OF WORK: Offutt Air Force Base (AFB) has several facilities that were irreparably damaged during the March 2019 floods. To restore efficient functionality to several base agencies, these facilities need to be reconstructed or renovated. Entry Control Point (ECP) monitoring is essential to ensure only authorized personnel are present during all phases of the construction process, from demolition of old facilities to the occupation of the newly constructed facilities. Construction shall involve the tear down of all facilities in the construction zone and removal of all destroyed material.

1.0 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES.

1.1 Scope. In order to comply with intelligence community and Air Force security directives, ECP monitoring shall be established on the construction zone as a precursor to any work being done in the area to ensure the integrity of base assets.

1.2 Place of Performance. The construction zone is located on Offutt AFB near Bellevue, NE.

1.3 Period of Performance. The period of performance for this contract is a 12 month base period with four 3 month options.

1.3.1 Contingency Performance Package. When requested, provide contingency posting to support additional work days outside of the normal schedule (ex. Saturday/Sunday). Requests will be made at least one full week before the requested support will be needed, and will conform to the prime construction contractor’s duty schedule (ex. Support requested will not be used until the Saturday of the following week to allow for additional personnel acquisition and training, if needed, regardless of what day of the week the request is made, with Monday as the first day of the week). Requests for additional posting must be used within 30 days from the date of request and may not exceed the standard daily working hours described in this PWS. Individual package requests will be for 40 hours each and will be paid all together, whether all hours are used or not. The Contracting Officer is the only authorized party to make this formal request.

1.4 Tasks. The contractor shall provide trained, certified, and qualified unarmed Entry Control Monitor (ECM) personnel to perform entry control duties for an approximate 130 acre construction zone. No personal protective non-lethal or less-lethal devices, such as batons, conducted electrical weapons, or OC sprays are authorized. Training and certification will consist of contractor’s in-house and/or home state (if applicable) training and certification as well as completion of a local training class hosted by the 55th Security Forces Squadron prior to assuming duties. The immediate area of responsibility is within 50 ft. of the designated ECP. Contractor shall ensure that personnel are at least 18 years of age, possess a high school diploma or equivalent, and comply with all applicable Federal, state, local, Department of Defense (DOD) and Air Force regulations to include applicable Force Protection Condition (FPCON) requirements for unarmed ECMs. All duties shall be accomplished at the designated place of performance in line with the prime construction contractor’s construction schedule, regardless of weather conditions and Offutt Air Force Base closures/limited access protocols/delayed reporting. Contractors performing ECM duties shall open the perimeter gate 30 minutes prior to the beginning of the day and close it at the end of the day once all other personnel have departed the area. The schedule for support will be 5:30 AM to 6:30 PM

ECMs shall randomly, at times directed by the SSM or COR, inspect personnel and vehicles entering the construction zone (minimum 6 per day)

ECMs shall ensure that the ECP is not left unattended at any time while the prime construction contractor is working.

1.4.1.8 No more than 1 valid violation per year.

Note: A valid violation is a violation of the requirement due to contractor negligence or willful noncompliance that results in a entry control deficiency in which there was not a reasonable (ex. preservation of life, safety, emergency etc.) cause not to perform the duty.

Example situation: ECMs leave the ECP unattended (1.4.1.8 above)

• If there was no reason to leave (e.g. left to walk around/run to town for food, bored, etc.), it would be considered a valid violation because the contractor could have reasonably avoided leaving the ECP.

• If there was a reason to leave, such as a scenario that jeopardized life or safety (e.g.

fire / tornado / flood / etc.), then the reason to leave the ECP would be justifiable and would not be considered a valid violation.

• This is a general example and should not explicitly be used to justify avoiding this particular requirement. Incidents will be individually evaluated to ensure fairness.

If the contractor exceeds the performance threshold or does not satisfy requirements of the PWS, the contractor may incur penalties, such as removal and replacement of personnel, for which they will be responsible for rectifying at their own expense. The COR is the final authority for determining whether or not a violation is valid.
