STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

1) PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

a) This is a Firm-Fixed Price indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract for construction work on real property facilities at Dobbins Air Reserve Base. The work is required in support of the 94th Mission Support Group

Civil Engineering Flight. Each construction project will be awarded by issuing individual task orders against the basic contract on an as-needed basis. Projects will be in support of real property maintenance, repair, alteration, and new construction, including but not limited to: renovations, new facilities, additions, roofing, paving, and related construction work.

b) Except as otherwise noted as government furnished, the contractor will be required to furnish all facilities, materials, tools, equipment, and personnel necessary to manage the SABER program at Dobbins ARB and design, manage, and accomplish the task orders issued hereunder. The task orders may include a variety of trades including, but not limited to: carpentry, road repair, roofing, excavation, electrical, steam fitting, plumbing, sheet metal, painting, demolition, concrete, masonry, welding, HVAC, and asbestos removal.

2) GENERAL INFORMATION.

a) Hours of Work. Except as otherwise expressly provided in an individual task order, normal duty hours for the performance of this contract are 0730-1630, Monday-Friday, excluding federal holidays. Work may be performed at other times only with written permission of the Contracting Officer. The contractor shall submit a written request with adequate justification at least two workdays in advance of the date the contractor desires to deviate from the normal duty hours. If permission is granted, the will furnish written approval. The contractor shall ensure that the site superintendent keeps a copy (at the work site) of said approval. Such work outside normal duty hours will be at no additional cost to the government.

b) The following technical documents will be used in the execution of work under this contract:

SABER Statement of Work. This document is intended to be a general description of the requirements applicable to the contract.

SABER Contract Technical Specifications:

a) The Technical Specifications are organized by the International Building Code (IBC) 2015 all specifications are to be used in conjunction with the task order Statements of Objective (SOO) and SOWs and any drawings that may be provided by the government. Some Task orders may require that the specifications use the Unified Facilities Guide

Specifications (UFGS). Government will direct the task orders which need these specifications. When the UFGS are used the contractor shall edit them to suit the actual site application and conditions.

b) The Technical Specifications are generally referenced to RS Mean’s line items, which will serve as the Unit Price

Book (UPB) for this contract. The technical specifications also correspond to the RS Means line items. Some specifications are broad in nature and contain a variety of items; therefore, they may reference several UPB/RS

Means designators. Other specifications will not have UPB/RS Means pricing information; these items are those which are special ordered from the manufacturer or the items involved would be proprietary to each manufacturer’s own equipment.

c) The intent of the Technical Specifications is to furnish concise industrial and/or commercial standards for maintenance, repair, demolition, and construction of government facilities.

iii) Unit Price Book (UPB)

a) The most recent versions of RS Means cost estimating data will serve as the UPB for this contract. The UPB will be updated annually after 1 January and no later than 15 January. The contractor’s proposals for the work described in each task order will be based on the pricing information and the units of measure specified in the UPB. The following RS Means data shall be used:

(1) Facilities Construction Cost Data

(2) Facilities Maintenance and Repair Cost Data

(3) Mechanical Cost Data

(4) Plumbing Cost Data

(5) Electrical Cost Data

(6) Square Foot Cost Data

b) If the government specifies an item, which meets both the RS Means line item description and the characteristics called out in the Technical Specifications the contractor is obligated to furnish that item, regardless of actual cost compared to the RS Means cost.

c) Occasionally, the price and availability of construction materials is severely impacted by natural disasters and/or government actions. Due to the quick onset of such price/availability impact, the RS Means database may not reflect the change. If the government and the contractor agree that a specific commodity or construction material has experienced an unanticipated and unreasonable (+/- 30%) fluctuation in price, an adjustment factor may be negotiated for a specific task order and applied to the RS Means material cost only. This provision may be used to adjust the RS

Means material cost either upward or downward. The basis for the adjustment will be the then-current Consumer

Price Index.

3) TECHNICAL DESIGN SUPPORT:

a) The Contractor's staff shall possess multi-discipline technical expertise and experience. Areas of required technical design competence shall include, but not be limited to: civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering; and drafting/surveying capabilities. The contractor's designs shall comply with the requirements of all building codes listed in the IBC 2015 and applicable UFCs, UFGS as outlined in UFC 1-200-01 core UFCS.

b) The government will provide a Statement of Objectives (SOO), with only basic concept design information for a specific task order. The contractor, using the concept design information, as well as all governing codes and SABER

Specifications, shall provide sufficient design documentation to substantiate the proposed approach for the task. This documentation may include any or all of the following:

(1) Statement of Work (technical description of the task); for the concept submitted prior to negotiation this may be an unedited or abbreviated version, but generally more than an outline.

(2) Work flow chart similar to a PERT diagram; or concept, only the major work items are required prior to negotiation.

(3) Detailed cost estimate; Means Prices cannot be changed. If they are they must be identified as such and will be considered as a non-pre-priced item (NPI).

(4) Justification for any non-pre-priced items (NPIs) to include three (3) quotes;

(6) Drawings; Generally a 35% design but may be more if required in the task order.

c) Typically, minimum design for SABER is up to 35%. However, if the design requires the services of a registered architect or engineer, it is outside the parameters of minimum design. The contractor is responsible for submitting documentation that substantiates the proposed approach.

d) Typically, supporting documents are requested from the contractor. Documents may include a Statement of Work, Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) chart, cost estimates, justification for non- pre-priced items

(NPI), verified as-built drawings, manufacturer’s or technical drawings/schematics for fabrication and assembly of structural elements, form, fit and attachment details for installation of materials/equipment, and design calculations to substantiate proposed layout and sizing of utilities and structural elements (i.e., HVAC loads, lightning, platform support, etc.) . The task order may delete the requirements for documentation in this SOW or add to them as required. The following documents shall be submitted no later than 10 calendar after completion of negotiations.

(1). Completed statement of work.

(2). A schedule of required submittals. Contractor cannot change the submittals required and classifications shown in the UFGS unless the edits are accepted by the Government. Failure to list a submittal that it required in the specifications does not absolve the contractor from submitting that item. At any time during the contract the government may also request submittals not formally requested if it is information that should be available for free, without cost to the government. For example the government can request catalog data, installation instructions, maintenance instructions, and other data that the manufactures has or should have prepared prior to marketing a product and does not charge a fee or at no additional cost.

However the government cannot request shop drawings or documents that are normally sold over the open market, without compensating the contractor unless required in the specifications or negotiations.

(3) A completed schedule, AF3064. All major work elements will be identified.

(4) Material approval submittals; submittals may start 5 days after the submittal schedule is started.

(5) Drawings (completed 35%) Conception drawing will be required at 10 calendar days.

(6) Shop drawings showing basic layout and planning of the work; if drawings are too extensive or complex for submittal in 10 days after NTP then the contractor should negotiate the time during the negotiation phase.

(7) Manufacturer’s or technical drawings/schematics for fabrication and assembly of structural elements;

(8) Form, fit, and attachment details for installation of materials/equipment;

(9) Design calculations to substantiate proposed layout and sizing of utilities and structural elements (i.e., HVAC loads, lighting, platform supports

e) Any specific requirement for the services of a registered architect or professional engineer will be negotiated at the individual task order level and should not be included in the contractor’s coefficient.
