General Contract Requirements

1. Contract Description: The Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MACC) is an Indefinite-

Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract for execution that supplements Civil

Engineer’s (CE) in-house capability to perform minor construction, facility repair, and real property maintenance projects on an as needed basis. This requirement is geared towards repair/maintenance projects typically ranging from $100,000.00 to $1,500,000.00. The contractor shall provide all material, equipment, labor and general conditions to accomplish “non-complex” and/or “simple” design, maintenance, repair, and minor construction projects in an expeditious manner. The work may include facility upgrades, utility work, airfield pavement, roads, roofs and other assorted repair and maintenance projects. The construction work includes tasks in various trades such as carpentry, asbestos abatement/removal, demolition, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, concrete masonry, welding, and paving. Design as used in this acquisition means project estimating and preparation of minimal designs. All construction/Design should be in compliance with the current Base Design Standards.

1.1. Design Build: MACC Contractor shall develop project design documentation including drawings, Scope of Work, cost estimate broken out by CSI division and submittals representative of up to a 35% design effort (as identified within each Task Order). Upon completion of design, and upon acceptance by the Government, construction execution shall commence and be completed in accordance with Task Order requirements.

1.2. Construction Only: MACC Contractor shall be provided a completed design document drawings, Scope of Work and available specifications to initiate and complete construction execution in accordance with Task Order requirements. The MACC contractor will then develop a cost broken out by CSI division and a schedule to complete project.

2. Contract Requirements: The contractor shall furnish all personnel, labor, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and services necessary to design, manage, and accomplish a broad range of repair, alteration, and/or new construction work on various real property facilities. The projects will include tasks in a variety of trades such as demolition, site work, excavation, cast-in-place concrete, masonry, structural steel, electrical, mechanical (including HVAC), painting, carpentry, roofing, millwork, road repair, and other specialty and general contracting work.

3. Contractor Organization: The contractor shall have available a design and construction staff to respond to the requirements of this multi-discipline MACC type contract. The contractor’s organizational approach shall integrate with this staff to provide project management, project design/engineering, on-site superintendence, quality control and administration.

4. Ordering Procedures: As the need arises for performance under the terms of this contract, the Contracting Officer or authorized representative will issue a ‘Task Order Request for

Proposal’ (TORFP) providing a synopsis of the proposed project requirements, define the government evaluation method(s) to be used for subsequent award of Task Order, and establish the date, time and location of the pre-proposal site visit.

4.1. Normal Response Requirements: If the requirement is determined to be a normal response requirement by the Contracting Officer, the contractor shall submit a Task Order Proposal to fulfill the requirement within a maximum of fourteen (14) calendar days from written notification. Additional time may be allowed at the discretion of the Contracting Officer.

4.2. Quick Response Requirements: If the requirement is determined to be a quick response requirement by the Contracting Officer, the contractor shall submit a Task Order Proposal to fulfill the requirement within a maximum of seven (7) calendar days from written notification

4.3. During this period, a site visit with the contractor, Civil Engineering technical representative, and the contracting officer’s representative shall take place to clarify the scope of the requirement and verify the existing conditions.

If the Contractor desires to work during non-standard working hours, on a Standard Working Hours Task Order, additional Government inspection forces may be required. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing, either by letter or email, three working days in advance of his/her intention to work during periods other than Standard Working Hours. This notification shall allow the inquiry into the availability of additional Government Inspectors. If the Contracting Officer confirms that additional Government Inspectors are reasonably available, the Contracting Officer may authorize the Contractor to perform work during periods other than Standard Working Hours; however, if the Government Inspectors are required to perform in excess of their normal duty days solely for the benefit of the Contractor, the actual cost of inspection at overtime rates may be charged to the Contractor.

6.2. Non-Standard Working Hours will be defined on individual task orders and shall be outside the definition of the standard working hours and not in controlled areas.

6.3. Standard and Nonstandard Work in Controlled areas will be specified in each affected task order. All work in restricted areas is assumed to be within standard working hours. All work inside of controlled areas may be subject to brief delays due to security processing (30 minutes time each process on and off per visit to the controlled area) or interruption to the normal work schedule to permit the completion of mission essential operations. Such interruptions, if required, will be given on short notice and expeditious action will be required. Each interruption may last up to sixty (60) minutes. The contractor shall not be compensated for said delays.

7. Material Submittals: Upon issuance of a Task Order, the Contractor shall submit work plans, material submittal register, samples, brochures, manufacturers data, product data sheets, shop drawings and/or certificates of materials (relative to the construction execution) to the Contracting Officer for approval prior to their installation within the project, in accordance with BDS /specifications and Task Order Requirements. If the material submittals provided are in variance from the BDS, the Contractor shall describe such variations in writing at the time of submission and request a variance from the design criteria in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract. Failure to provide such notification will not relieve the Contractor from his responsibility of meeting the design criteria and/or contract specifications regardless of whether or not the submittal is approved by the Government. Material submittals shall be as specified under each specification section and be submitted in quadruplicate unless otherwise indicated. All the material submittals as indicated in the applicable specification section shall be submitted at the same time. If the submittal requirement is listed on the drawings, all material submittals of like work shall be submitted simultaneously and with all corresponding specification sections. A system of standard submittals for each contractor will be used to minimize the submittal requirement. Failure to submit all material submittals associated with an individual specification section at the same time will be cause for rejection.

7.1. Submittal Classifications: Submittals are classified as follows:

7.1.1. Government Approved: Governmental approval is required for extensions of design, critical materials, deviations, equipment whose compatibility with the entire system must be checked, and other items as designated by the Contracting Officer.

Certification letter will contain the task order number and two (2) approved copies of AF Form 3000 submittal.

7.2. Approved Submittals: The Contracting Officer’s approval of submittals shall not be construed as a complete check, but will indicate only that the general method of construction, materials, detailed and other information are satisfactory. Approval will not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for any error that may exist, as the Contractor under the Contractor Quality Control (CQC) requirements of this contract is responsible for dimensions, the design of adequate connections and details, and the satisfactory construction of all work. After submittals have been approved by the Contracting Officer, no resubmittal for the purpose of substituting materials or equipment will be considered unless accompanied by an explanation of why a substitution is necessary.

7.3. Disapproved Submittals: The Contractor shall make all corrections required by the Contracting Officer and furnish a corrected submittal. Corrected submittals shall be submitted within two (2) working days, after receipt of by the Contractor in the form and number of copies specified for the initial submittal. If the Contractor considers any correction indicated on the submittals to constitute a change to the contract, a notice in accordance with the Contract Clause “Changes” shall be given promptly to the Contracting Officer.

7.4. Material Approval Submittal Form (AF Form 3000):

7.4.1. The Contractor shall fill out and submit a Material Approval Submittal (AF Form 3000) listing items of equipment and materials that are required by the specifications; this list may not be all inclusive and additional submittals may be required. Submit the material submittals and shop drawings to the Contracting Officer for approval within ten (10) calendar days after issuance of the Notice to Proceed for each delivery order.

7.4.2. Scheduling: Submittals covering component items forming a system or items that are interrelated shall be scheduled to be coordinated and submitted concurrently.

End of Section

Section 01200 Environmental Controls

1. Presence of Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT): The contractor is advised that hazardous materials (HAZMAT) may be encountered during the execution of Task Orders. When a

Task Order identifies a Government-provided design, a HAZMAT Survey will be typically included as part of the design submittal. When a HAZMAT Survey cannot be provided, or when the Task Order specifically requires the MACC Contractor to include the development of the HAZMAT Survey, the contractor will be responsible to perform a

HAZMAT Survey of all anticipated surfaces/areas involved with the project that can be suspected of containing hazardous materials which will impact the construction/renovation process. This tasking will be required to establish the extent of hazardous materials which will require abatement or special handling procedures during the execution of the following-on construction/ renovation project. The potential hazardous materials may include asbestos, lead-based paint, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), radon, radioactive materials, and other materials identified by the Environmental Protection Agency which typically affect construction.

2. Radioactive Materials (RAM):

2.1. Use of RAM during Contract Execution: Contractors bringing radioactive materials or devices containing radioactive sources onto Base must have prior approval from the Wing Radiation Safety Officer (RSO). The RSO for Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson is the Bioenvironmental Engineering Flight Commander, who can be reached at (907) 552-3985. Under no circumstances will a contractor use an unlicensed radioactive source/device on Base. The contractor should direct any questions regarding responsibility on this issue to the Wing RSO prior to starting any work. Since the Air Force considers contracts involving radioactive materials a hazardous material items contract, the provisions of AFR 87-8, chapter 3, section 3.3(f) will also apply. In addition, the contractor must submit the following documentation to the Wing RSO for review prior to execution:

2.1.1. Copy of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission License or Agreement State Radioactive Material License, along with any amendments, covering the radioactive material to be used.
