2.9.2.1. Outage Identification and Planning:

Identify any proposed utility outages affecting facility or facilities listed on the task order.

Identify any and all other facilities that will be affected by any utility shut down or interruption of services from surrounding areas or facilities with shared main utility connections with the facility or area indicated on the task order. Identification requirements would consist of facility numbers, and area locations affected by the outage. When these utility outages are required as part of the task order, a separate drawing will be submitted illustrating the facility locations, and area locations of the outage and all affected areas. Drawing submitted in AutoCAD 2010 or current Government software version.

2.9.2.2. Outage Plan:

Provide as part of the task order a utility outage plan which will include the following information:

2.9.2.2.1 What systems are affected by this outage? Where is the outage going to take place, (building numbers and area locations)? Why is the utility outage required? How long will the outage last? Example: (Replace 225 amp power panel inside break room facility 867, upgrade to existing facility power panel is required due to increase electrical load requirements, no work at the transformer or facility main power distribution panel is required, panel replacement inside facility break room will require rooms 1-12 inside facility 867 to be without power during the panel replacement, anticipated duration of switch out and hookup is 2 hours. No other facilities or areas will be affected by this outage). Provide this for all utility outages.

2.9.2.2.2 Provide possible concept work-around options to minimize impact to facility occupants, and base populace. Part of the concept work around needs to include an analysis on possible contingencies that could happen during any utility outage. Identify possible situations that might result if something goes wrong with the scheduled outage. What would the required fix be? How much time will the fix require? Any possible additional materials required for the fix. The Contractor submitted analysis on utility outage contingencies shall be listed in the proposal statement of work, and will be evaluated by the Technical Representative during the Technical Evaluation. Any additional comments, ideas, or work-around options to minimize impact to base populace will be suggested at that time by Technical Representative.

2.9.2.2.3 Provide a sample notification letter containing the dates of the proposed outages, start and completion time, brief scope of work and drawing illustrating the affected areas, company name, and emergency point of contact and telephone. This letter should also contain hazard information such as water sampling, lock out tag out procedures.

2.9.2.2.4 The Government’s intention for the outage planning requirements is to identify and evaluate all issues during the proposal design stage that might be affected by any utility outage.

Effective review and coordination between the Contractor and Technical Representative will help to minimize any possible situations from surfacing after award of the task order, which might prevent the Contractor from completion on schedule.

2.9.3 Utility Outages and Road Cuts:

All utility (electrical, alarms, water, sewer, etc.) outage and road cut requests will be reviewed and coordinated before submission in writing to the Contracting Officer and COTR. The finalized utility outage and road cut request will be submitted to the Contracting Officer through the COTR for approval 45 work days before the scheduled utility outage and road cut. All utility outages and road cuts require coordination with one or more of the following offices: 18 CES/CEOFE (Electric), CES/CEOP (Generators Section), 18 CES/CEOIU (Utilities) 718 CES/CEAOE (Energy and Utilities Management), 718 CES/CEHMF (MFH Facilities Section), 718 CES/CEL (Housing Maintenance), 18 CES/CEF (Fire Department), 18 CS/SCX (Communication Plans and Implementation), 18 SFS/SFO (Operations). The office(s) requiring coordination will be determined by COTR and the Contractor.

Coordination for utility outages and road cuts on Marine Corps installations shall also be coordinated 45 calendar days prior with the Construction Contract Section, Facilities Maintenance Facility Engineers, located in Bldg. T-350 on Marine Corps Base, Camp Smedley D. Butler. The Contractor is responsible for disseminating the initial notification and completion notification of all affected facilities and housing occupants. The number of utility interruptions in Military Family Housing, Industrial and Administrative facilities shall be held to a minimum.

2.9.4 Accompanied and Unaccompanied Military Housing Utility Outages:

Outages to accompanied and unaccompanied military housing will be limited between 0900 to 1500 hours daily, Monday through Friday, excluding Saturdays and Sundays and U.S. legal holidays.
