Section 6 Civil Engineering Services

Reference PWS Paragraph 6.0. Throughout the Civil Engineering Section, the words “maintain, repair, minor maintenance and preventive maintenance” are used to describe work requirements. However, these terms are not defined in the PWS text or in the Acronyms/Abbreviations and Definitions Section (Section 8). Paragraph 6.3.1 refers to a “Service Call” and the requirement to operate a service call desk to facilitate customer support. However, a “service call” is not defined. Paragraph 6.3.3 describes management processes and procedures for AF 332s. AF 332s cover minor and major project/construction work, which the contractor must execute, when approved. Paragraphs 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6 refer to reimbursements and call-outs for services that are additional or required for visiting activities. However, it is unclear how the provisions addressed in 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6 interact with CE maintenance and repair work. In other words, the concept of out of scope work or call-outs does not appear to apply to maintenance and repair work.

Please be advised that it is not possible for contractors to bid and assume unlimited liability under a firm fixed price contract for the performance of CE work at GBAF, especially when no workload data or lists of equipment have been provided. Workload data is presented in terms of labor hours only. Is this direct labor hours? More information is required if unlimited repair, replacement or construction liability for facilities, equipment or projects is assumed.

To mitigate the governments and the contractors risk will the government establish clear definitions and reasonable bounds for “service calls, minor maintenance, major maintenance and related repair or replacement and construction actions”?

Answer: This is a fixed price contract. It is expected that your projected materials and supplies are built into your monthly cost for both unscheduled and scheduled maintenance. The government has already identified facility repairs that are above and beyond this contract and will pursue them through other means as funds become available. There is no dollar threshold for application of the SCA. See para 1 Question: 6.2. “The contractor shall furnish all necessary parts and materials for the performance of this contract at his expense.” The workload data does not provide any historical data concerning parts and materials costs.

Will the government provide historical information concerning parts and materials costs on an annual basis?

Answer: This is and has been a fixed price contract for the past 20 years. Therefore all historical costs are proprietary. As the offerer you shall utilize your expertise as an O&M contractor to determine parts and materials for the facilities and equipment supported. It is expected that projected parts and material costs are built into your monthly cost for both unscheduled and scheduled maintenance. See para 1.

Question: 6.7. The referenced PWS requires the contractor to provide ½ liter water bottles for Gila Bend personnel (contractor, government, tenants, users, etc.). The workload information states “Maintain Drinking Water- 22,500 gal per year.”

Question: 6.35. The title of this paragraph is “Call Out Work for Maintenance, Repair and Refurbishment.” However, the text seems to limit the scope of call out work to “improvements” or “new work”, for example: “…minor facility improvements, roads and grounds improvements, paint plan work, fire detection/suppression systems upgrades, electrical upgrades, mechanical upgrades, environmental cleanup, identified self-help projects, or other work as coordinated through the COR…..”
