TABLE OF CONTENTS

1.0 SCOPE

This Basic Contract Statement of Work (SOW) defines the scope of a full range of Design, Construction and Engineering activities necessary to meet Air Force and other customer requirements for the Regional Engineering and Construction Contract (RE&C). This basic contract SOW will be tailored to identify specific requirements at the Task Order (TO) level. SOWs or Statements of Requirements (SOR) may be used under this contract. Projects will be located at various locations within the United States. For the purpose of regional awards, the United States has been divided into three regions.

East Region is defined as the following states:

Central Region is defined as the following states:

West Region is defined as the following States:

Prior to issuing any work under this SOW, the Government will develop a Concept Definition (CD) of the requirement either through Government in-house resources or through private consultant. The CD will clearly define the project requirements in terms of performance, appearance, criteria and/or specification with sufficient detail that permits a Contractor to provide a proposal with reasonable performance, cost and schedule risk.

This SOW is organized and developed to provide maximum flexibility in the use of this contract vehicle. Basic requirements described here are further refined through the use of individual project Task Orders (TO). Task Orders will be issued for projects at various stages of development. General performance requirements for construction activities are described in Section 2.0 of this SOW. Depending on the project development stage and level of design required, TOs will be issued for Design-Build (DB), or Traditional Design-Bid-Build Construction (D-B-B) as determined by the Contracting Officer in consultation with the Program Manager and Base Civil Engineer. Each method is separately described in Section 7.0 of this SOW.

This SOW encompasses the full range of methods, technologies, and supporting activities necessary to conduct project construction at Air Force installations and other locations within the United States in accordance with technical and regulatory requirements. Stand-alone design is not included in the scope of this contract. All new facilities shall attain LEED Silver designation in accordance with the Air Force Sustainable Design and Development (SDD) Implementing Guidance. The REC Contractor shall prepare a LEED Silver scorecard with the 65% Design Analysis or as directed in the TO Planning Charette reports.

The Contractor shall function as an integral team member in support of the Air Force Civil Engineering Center (AFCEC) mission, to include sharing information with other AFCEC contractors and cooperation with communities and other Government entities.

Requirements include efficient management of TOs including, but not limited to, the submission of accurate, on-time, quality contract deliverables and timely identification and solution of impediments to successful project execution. Technical requirements include, but are not limited to, early involvement in the process to allow for the development of the most cost-effective and technically sound approach or solution. AFCEC will rely on the Contractor’s expertise in recognizing and addressing problematic issues and successful execution of each TO. The Contractor shall perform all work in accordance with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations.

It is the intent of the Government to identify two categories of Contractors for this multi-award RE&C contract. General Contractors are those who in addition to having sufficient bonding capacity to accept large project Task Orders, have a proven track record of success in prosecuting these large projects. These contractors generally do not perform significant portions of the construction work with their own workforce, rather they provide a management team which identifies, enlists contracts with, manages, and controls a group of competent subcontractors who will be executing the actual construction work. All subcontractors will be subject to all regulatory aspects as well as licensing requirements of the local jurisdiction where the project is located. The General Contractor will integrate the subcontractors’ individual schedules into the master project schedule as well as coordinate the subcontractors’ efforts to avoid conflicts and to maximize both synergy and efficiency of the subcontractors in completing the work. The General Contractor will be responsible for all reporting required on each project, and will assume full responsibility for the project quality and timeliness.

The second category of Contractors shall be General Construction Contractors. These contractors will in addition to having sufficient bonding capacity to accept a wide range of project sizes, generally perform substantial portions of the construction work with their own workforce and equipment, while subcontracting for other specialized portions of the construction work with competent subcontractors. Substantial in this context will be dependent on the size and breadth of a particular project. It may be less in a project with many disciplines of work like a new building, or it could be more in a large project with only a few disciplines like a paving project. The General Construction Contractor will retain full responsibility for the quality and timeliness of the project, and will integrate subcontractors’ individual schedules into the master project schedule. The General Construction Contractor will coordinate the subcontractors’ efforts to avoid conflicts and to maximize both synergy and efficiency of subcontractors pursuing the aspects of the project for which they were subcontracted. The General Construction Contractor will be responsible for all reporting required on each project.

It is possible for any individual Contractor to qualify as both a General Contractor and a General Construction Contractor through his record of past accomplishments.

It is anticipated that Regional Task Orders will be accomplished by General Construction Contractors, however, at the discretion of the Government, General Contractors may be used for certain projects based on the size, location, and complexity of the project.

2.0 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS

The Contractor shall comply with the National Institute of Building Sciences’ Whole Building Design Guide Construction Criteria Base (CCB) Unified Facility Criteria (UFC) and all of the related libraries. The primary Criteria is the Air Force Criteria from the Documents Library, but other agency Criteria may be directed for use, depending on the customer agency for a particular TO. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to identify and comply with all applicable requirements. The Contractor shall not delete any design specifications of the specific applicable UFGS or elements therein without Government concurrence. It shall be the Contractor’s responsibility as the DOR to identify any design/construction criteria waivers that are warranted for the TO and to accomplish all necessary coordination activities necessary to obtain approval of these proposed waivers by the Contracting Officer (CO),and/or Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR).

In addition, the Contractor shall refer to the current versions of the Department of Defense Policy and Guidelines for Acquisitions Involving Environmental Sampling or Testing and The United States Air Force Construction Management Implementation Guide. Base-specific documents shall be identified in each TO.

3.0 GOVERNMENT FURNISHED INFORMATION, EQUIPMENT, AND PROPERTY (GFI, GFE, GFP)

Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) instructions for reporting of and including in the Plant Clearance Automated Reutilization Screening System (PCARSS) will be followed for any Government Property remaining at the end of the project.

To the extent it is available, the Government will provide information in the form of available conceptual design plans, reports, maps, drawings, and as-built drawings as necessary to facilitate accomplishment of the work required in the contract Statement of Work. However, these GFIs are to be utilized by the RE&C Contractor as guidance to facilitate a complete, technically adequate design and are not warranted to show conditions as they actually exist. The designer shall verify (by field investigation and through design development) information shown on all GFIs (relevant to the project) for accuracy to ensure technical adequacy of the design.

6.0 SITE WORK

The Contractor shall perform site preparation, incidental characterization and field investigation, conservation, and demolition of sites as required in each TO.

6.1 Conservation

Activities shall be planned and implemented in a manner that protects existing site utilities, structures, surface features, service operations, monitoring and other types of wells, and the general site environment. This includes the protection of trees, shrubs and other vegetation not in the affected zone from dust damage, soil compaction, and physical contact with machines and equipment. If appropriate, the Contractor shall conserve uncontaminated topsoil by removal, storage, or redistribution. All reasonable measures shall be taken to minimize and suppress fugitive emissions of dust, vapors, and other site materials during site work. All fill materials shall be non-contaminated. The Contractor shall conduct all operations and activities with the intent of reducing the amount of pollution generated. Specific areas to be focused on are generation of solid waste, use of hazardous materials, use of ozone depleting chemicals, generation of hazardous waste, and use of energy and water. During site work the Contractor shall plan, construct, operate, maintain, optimize, and decommission systems necessary to control storm water run-on and run-off; and transport surface water drainage to a treatment plant, discharge location, or any other appropriate destination for discharge in accordance to local environmental regulations.

6.2 Site Preparation

The Contractor shall perform site work as necessary to prepare sites for construction activities. Security and access controls shall be implemented to prevent unauthorized entry to sites and to protect wildlife from site exposure. The Contractor shall survey existing utilities to determine adequacy and need for modifications to support site activities. The Contractor shall obtain appropriate approvals and shall construct connections or new systems for electrical power, water, sewer, gas distribution, telephone, and other utilities, as required, to accomplish the activities specified in each TO. (CDRL A012)

6.3 Demobilization

The Contractor shall decontaminate equipment and facilities, decommission facilities as necessary, and restore the site back to its pre-project condition or as directed in the TO. The Contractor shall remove any temporary facilities and implement erosion control measures such as seeding, mulch, sodding, and erosion control fabrics; restore roads, structures and utilities; and plant trees, shrubbery, grasses and other vegetation. The Contractor shall document and report on activities and train Government personnel to perform required maintenance, as requested. (CDRL A001)

7.0 FACILITY CONSTRUCTION TASK ORDER TYPES

7.1 Turnkey

Under 10 USC 2862 One-step turnkey selection procedures may be used for the purpose of entering into contracts for the construction of authorized military construction projects only, both CONUS and OCONUS, which include regular Military Construction (MILCON), Unspecified Minor Military Construction (UMMC), Military Family Housing (MFH), and Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC). In this section, the term “one-step turn-key selection procedures” means procedures used for the selection of a contractor on the basis of price and other evaluation criteria to perform, in accordance with the provisions of a firm fixed-price contract, both the design and construction of a facility using performance specifications supplied by the Secretary concerned. This selection procedure is highly specialized and unique and shall only be awarded under the rules set forth by 10 USC 2862. Given the WE&C Contractor’s level of involvement in one-step turnkey, the WE&C contractor will serve as both the Architect/Engineer of Record for completed projects as well as the Contractor of Record.

Turnkey or one step construction is restricted by Federal Law to MILCON construction only, and it is not anticipated that any Turnkey TO will be authorized for the RE&C contractors’ accomplishment.

7.2 Design Build (D-B)

From USC Title 10 Section 2305, design-build may be used to perform the design and construction of a public building, facility, or work. D-B can be used, for the construction of authorized military construction projects such as Military Construction (MILCON), Unspecified Minor Military Construction (UMMC), Military Family Housing (MFH), and Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC). In addition to these types of projects, D-B can also be used for projects outside of authorized military construction such as, but not limited to, Army and Air Force Exchange Services (AAFES), Air Force Services Agency (AFSVA), Defense Energy Support Center (DESC), Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), etc. The RE&C contractor shall manage and perform D-B construction work as defined in the TO. The following are typical D-B construction TO requirements: completion of working drawings, permitting, construction, construction management, scheduling, inspection and testing, maintaining construction facilities and temporary controls, environmental protection, quality control, construction quality control, and project closeout. Specific requirements will be provided at the TO level.

7.2.1 Design Completion

Prior to beginning onsite construction, the RE&C Contractor, as directed in the RFP, will initiate the Construction Phase by completing project working drawings and the various plans and schedules, including a construction schedule using Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT), Critical Path Method (CPM), or equivalent scheduling tools, and obtaining submittal approvals and permits. Working drawings and specifications shall comply with codes, laws, the RFP, and the TO. The working drawings shall be submitted for review as directed in the TO statement of work. The RE&C Contractor shall be responsible for implementation, coordination, and execution of all regulatory reviews, ensure technical adequacy of the final design, and provide quality control of all phases of the TO. Further details regarding design requirements will be provided at the TO level.

7.2.2 Project Construction

The RE&C contractor may with approval of the Contracting Officer begin onsite construction in a fast-track method as proposed during the design completion phase by completing said design in defined phases to permit early start of construction prior to final working drawings for all phases of the construction. If the RE&C Contractor chooses to exercise fast-track construction, he remains fully responsible for coordination of all aspects of the design and the Government will permit no consideration for delays if early construction start creates inconsistencies or conflicts in later phases of the design/construction operations.

7.3 Design-Bid-Build (D-B-B)

The RE&C Contractor shall manage and perform D-B-B construction work as defined in the TO. Under this type of effort, a complete design and set of specifications shall be provided to the Contractor for construction.

7.5 Construction Operation Services

The Contractor shall perform a full range of activities to meet all customers engineering and other construction requirements as described in each TO. Requirements may include construction, completion of conceptual design and construction, demolition, decommissioning, and emergency response for traditional engineering and construction needs. All completed designs shall be signed and sealed in accordance with all applicable requirements. (CDRLs A001, A009, A013)
