DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

1 INTRODUCTION

This Statement of Work (SOW) sets forth basic requirements for construction and engineering activities supporting the Facilities Acquisitions for Restoration and Modernization (FARM).

Performance on this contract will be primarily required at Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) at Arnold AFB, TN; and may be required at Mountain View, CA and White Oak, MD.

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). TOs 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. TOs will be issued for projects at various stages of design (e.g., no design, partial design, or full design) and construction.

The Contractor shall function as an integral team member in support of the AEDC mission, to include sharing information with other AEDC contractors and cooperation with communities and other government entities.

1.1 BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

The FARM effort acquires a variety of project design and construction services. The required capabilities are for specialized and unique mechanical; electrical; and instrumentation, data & control (ID&C) systems required to restore and modernize AEDC’s plant and infrastructure systems while minimizing the facility downtime and impact on existing test and development programs.

AEDC provides the most comprehensive set of aerospace ground test facilities in the world.

Many of the individual test facilities are unique in the country or in the world. AEDC capabilities include very large- to medium-sized wind tunnels which cover the entire flight envelope from subsonic to hypersonic speeds. Simulated altitude testing for very large commercial-type turbofan engines and the world’s most powerful fighter engines as well as large rocket motors can be conducted at AEDC. Facilities at AEDC can further simulate space environments and space vehicle reentry speeds and temperatures. AEDC operates at three locations: Arnold Air Force Base, TN; National Full Scale Aerodynamics Complex (NFAC), Mountain View, CA (NASA Ames); and Tunnel 9, White Oak, MD.

P a g e | 5

The test facilities and supporting plant and infrastructure systems at Arnold AFB and its Geographically Separated Units (GSUs) were primarily built in the 1950s and 1960s with a few additions in the 1990s. For decades, the restoration and modernization of test plant and test infrastructure has been underfunded, resulting in diminished test capability and increased energy and maintenance costs. More importantly, the loss of test capability adds risk to development of military and commercial aerospace systems. Over the last three years, Air Force Test Center (AFTC) and Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) leadership have successfully articulated the potential impact to future system development, and the AF has budgeted for major investment in FY17-FY21 to begin to mitigate the long-term risk in support of next generation aerospace system development.

In addition to accommodating mechanical, electrical and ID&C systems specifically identified in the FARM Service Life Extension Program (SLEP), this effort requires the flexibility to accomplish plant and infrastructure projects that are similar in scope to the FARM requirements that are funded in other programs (e.g., 3400/3600 Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Program, and Test Investment Planning and Programming (TIPP)).

The Government will serve as the lead program manager with support from the AEDC operating contractors for TOs executed under this contract. The Contractor shall serve as the prime or lead for projects integrating multiple capabilities and is required to self-perform a predominant segment of the work.

1.2 SCOPE OF WORK

The Contractor shall provide all labor, materials, equipment, transportation, supervision, quality control and other items necessary to design, manage and accomplish the work. The effort will be performed primarily at Arnold AFB. Performance will also be required at the GSUs.

Requirements listed in this SOW are assumed to be AEDC-wide unless specifically noted otherwise.

The types of projects within this SOW generally include the construction or design-build of mechanical, electrical and ID&C for all AEDC locations. A partial representative list of the potential projects that are envisioned to be executed by the FARM Contractors through construction or design-build TOs is provided as Attachment 3.

2 GENERAL INFORMATION

2.1 QUALITY CONTROL PLAN

Contractor’s Quality Control Plan (QCP) shall be developed and submitted to the CO for approval. The QCP shall be submitted within 14 calendar days after contract award. The QCP shall cover both design and construction activities. The Contractor shall designate in writing, on-staff personnel to document and resolve all quality control problems and accomplish daily quality control inspections. The Contractor shall establish a method to identify poor performance and specify appropriate corrective action. The QCP will become a compliance document. Project personnel will interface with government personnel to ensure that the QCP functions properly.

2.2 PROJECT SCHEDULE

The Contractor shall provide a project schedule for each TO. The project schedule shall be developed as time-phase Gantt charts using Microsoft Project or equivalent, unless otherwise specified in the TO. The project schedule shall depict activities, milestones, outages, start & completion dates, and the critical path. Updates to the project schedule shall be made as required throughout the project period of performance. Schedule updates showing activity extending beyond the period of performance are not an extension of the period of performance. Period of performance extensions will only be granted through TO modifications issued by the CO.

Schedule reporting requirements will be identified for each TO.

The Contractor shall maintain individual TO schedules and a consolidated schedule for all active TOs awarded to them. The Contractor’s consolidated schedule may be requested by the Government to assist in coordinating operations and TO work as necessary.

2.3 INTEGRATED SCHEDULING

The Integrated Scheduling process is used to schedule test, maintenance and capital improvement projects conducted at AEDC. The Contractor shall coordinate outages with the Government Representative to be incorporated into AEDC’s Integrated Scheduling process to plan and execute work.

An outage represents a specified period of time that an asset or assets will be unavailable for operations. The outage process gives visibility to activities that impact AEDC operations.

The FARM Contract Task Orders (TOs) will occur in a defined window of AEDC's highly active test schedule. Outage requests are used to coordinate work which can affect execution of testing.

Outages when required by the Contractor for test facilities, plant equipment or support utilities/areas, are expected to be minimized as well as coordinated in advance with the Tactical

P a g e | 10

Integration Group (TIG) through the Government Representative. Any required verification testing shall also be identified and as necessary that time will be included within the outage.

Replacement /refurbishment of existing equipment and installation of new systems must occur in a manner and fashion to provide maximum continuity of operations within the AEDC TIG Integrated Schedule.

The Contractor shall coordinate schedule requests with the Government Representative to accomplish any verification testing (operational checkouts) required by the TO. The Government Representative will coordinate with the TIG for operational checkouts of major pieces of equipment which impacts testing or requires operator support. Early identification of these requirements is highly encouraged in order to facilitate efficient scheduling. The Government and the Contractor shall strive to complete the Contractor's portion of verification testing within 30 calendar days of completion of construction.

All outage requests, including but not limited to, utility interruptions and road work, shall be planned in order to accomplish in the shortest window possible. The outage requests will be submitted in writing by the Contractor to the Government Representative. The Government Representative will coordinate with the TIG to schedule the outage. Scheduling alternatives will be identified by the TIG and provided to the Government Representative to coordinate with the Contractor. For purposes of scheduling, Arnold AFB maintains a 24/7 testing schedule. The Contractor shall perform preliminary work to the greatest extent possible before beginning the outage and shall determine that the system can be placed back in operation prior to expiration of the outage period. The Contractor shall provide the advance notice for outages to the Government Representative as follows;

a) For outages of 3-days or less, the outage will be requested 60-days in advance.

b) For outages greater than 3-days and up to 7-days, the outages will be requested 120-days in advance.

c) For outages greater than 7 days, the outages shall be requested 180 days in advance.

The Contractor’s outage request shall include the following:

a) Type of outage;

b) Access or service to be disrupted;

c) Areas and/or facilities affected;

d) Expected duration of outage;

e) Preferred outage date with two alternate dates;

f) Point of contact and telephone number; and

g) Lists of materials and equipment to be used.

The Government will make every effort to schedule the outages during the preferred dates;

however, mission testing may preclude the preferred dates. The Government will provide approval for the outage to the Contractor a minimum of 14 days before the actual outage. In addition, short duration outages may be requested at any time and approved by the Government Representative subject to the AEDC test schedule and coordination with Integrated Scheduler.

The requirements for specific types of outages are as follows:

P a g e | 11

a) Pile driving: Outages may be required depending on the location and proximity to critical

AEDC systems. During performance of the contract, the Government Representative may provide additional times when outages may be required because of testing in adjacent base-operated test cells.

b) Base Utilities: Outages will be granted only on weekends between 0500 Saturday and 0700 Monday.

c) Roads: The Contractor shall provide minimum notice of 14 days prior to closing any road. Roads shall not be closed at more than one point at the same time.

For outages 7-days and longer, the Contractor shall not exceed the number and length of outages specified in the TO.

2.4 MEETINGS

The Contractor shall attend and/or support meetings and teleconferences to discuss technical requirements, issues and project progress and status. Meeting requirements will be identified with each TO. The Contractor shall prepare and submit for review, an agenda, presentation materials and minutes for meetings attended, as applicable. Meeting minutes shall include any action items and identify the responsible person for action items.

2.5 CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT

The Contractor shall document and turnover all newly developed, revised, or re-engineered software, drawings and documentation to the Government as indicated in the individual TO and in a format specified by the Government. The Contractor shall utilize configuration management throughout the development and deployment of software, drawings and documentation.

2.6 TEST, MEASUREMENT AND DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT (TMDE)

The Contractor shall document any TMDE provided by the project and coordinate with the Government, as indicated in the individual TO.

2.7 MASTER WORK PERMITS

The Contractor will be responsible for coordinating a government issued, Master Work Permit prior to performing any site work, especially digging of any type. The Contractor will be given assistance, by the Government, in the coordination of the Master Work Permit request.

Thereafter, government assistance will be limited to an as-needed basis in the event of unusual circumstances. It will be the Contractor's responsibility to coordinate completion of the Master Work Permit and request to have existing utilities located & marked as indicated on the completed form, prior to the beginning of digging operations in the individual areas, as well as maintaining the markings. This coordination is anticipated to take approximately ten (10) working days to complete per request.

2.8 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURE

This section specifies procedural requirements for non-administrative submittals, including but not limited to shop drawings, product data, manufacturer’s certificate, design data, calculations and verifications, manufacturer’s instructions, manufacturer’s field service reports, samples, operation and maintenance manuals and other miscellaneous work-related submittals. These submittals are required to amplify, expand and coordinate other information contained in the contract.

Non-work-related submittals are addressed throughout the contract rather than in the specification and may include items such as: TO progress schedule, permits, payment applications, performance and payment bonds, insurance certificates and progress reports.

The CO may request submittals in addition to those specified when deemed necessary to adequately describe the work covered in the respective sections of the specification or statement of work.

2.8.1 Listing: Each TO will summarize items required for submittal. The list of submittals is included for the convenience of users of the TO documents. The listing may not be all inclusive and additional item submittals may be required. Contractor shall submit a copy of the summarized submittal listing with calendar dates assigned to each item submittal indicating when submittal will be received by the CO. The submittal listing shall be submitted within 14 calendar days after the design is approved for design-build TOs or 14 calendar days after receiving award for construction TOs.

2.8.2 Risk: Do not proceed with the part of the work covered by an item submittal including purchasing, fabricating and delivering until approval is received. Machinery, equipment, material and articles that do not have the required approval shall be installed or used at the risk of subsequent rejection. Any fabrication or other work performed in advance of the receipt of accepted item submittals and approvals shall be entirely at the Contractor’s risk and expense.

2.8.3 Transmittal Timing: Coordinate the preparation and processing of item submittals with the performance of the work. Prepare and transmit each item submittal to the CO sufficiently in advance of the performance of related work and other applicable activities. Transmit related item submittals for the same unit of work so that processing will not be delayed by the Government's need to review submittals concurrently for coordination. No delay damages or time extensions will be allowed for time lost in late submittals.

P a g e | 13

2.8.4 Content: Each submittal shall be complete and in sufficient detail to allow ready determination of compliance with contract requirements. All submittals which are generic and list more information than is specifically required shall be marked to identify required information. Complete AF Form 3000 and attach as cover sheet for each submittal.

Contractor may include multiple item numbers on an AF Form 3000.

2.8.5 Documentation: All typed material such as specifications, reports and studies shall be in Microsoft Word format (e.g., .doc and .docx).

2.8.6 Language: All item submittals shall be written in English, including documents, notes on drawings, sketches, and/or samples, calculations, manuals and all other instances of written text and communication.

2.8.7 Units: All item submittals shall be marked or show dimensions and values in consistent U.S. Customary units.

2.8.8 Review Time: Allow sufficient time so that TO performance will not be delayed as a result of the time required to properly process submittals, including time for re-submittals, if necessary. Allow 14 calendar days for initial Government processing of each submittal. No extension of time will be authorized because of the Contractor's failure to transmit submittals to the Government sufficiently in advance of the work.

2.8.9 Contractor Certification: All submittals shall be carefully reviewed by an authorized representative of the Contractor prior to submission to the Government. Each submittal shall be dated, signed and certified by the Contractor as being correct and in strict conformance with the TO documents. No consideration for review by the Government of any Contractor’s submittal will be made for any items which have not been so certified by the Contractor. All noncertified submittals will be returned to the Contractor without action taken by the Government and any delays caused thereby shall be the total responsibility of the Contractor.

P a g e | 14

2.8.10 Deviations: Should any item submittals required by the TO show deviations from the TO requirement, the Contractor shall make specific mention of such deviations in the letter of transmittal. The letter shall state cost effects, and product and system limitations which may adversely affect the work, in order that, if acceptable, suitable action may be taken for proper adjustment of the contract. Otherwise, the Contractor will not be relieved of the responsibility for executing the work IAW the TO and the approved submittals. Contractor shall clearly mark the proposed variation in all documentation and specifically point out deviations from TO requirements in transmittal letters. Failure to point out deviations may result in the Government requiring rejection and removal of such work at no additional cost to the Government. Deviations from TO requirements require government approval and will only be considered when advantageous to the Government. When proposing deviations, deliver written request to the CO, with documentation of the nature and features of the deviation and why the deviation is desirable and beneficial to the Government. If lower cost is a benefit, include an estimate of the cost savings. In addition to documentation required for deviation, include the submittal information required for the item. Allow an additional 14 calendar days beyond normal submittal review period for consideration by the Government of submittals with deviations.

2.8.11 Approved Submittals: The part of the work covered by the approved item submittal may proceed provided it complies with the requirements of the TO documents. Final acceptance will depend upon that compliance. The term “Approved” shall only indicate that there is no exception taken to the submittal. Approval of the item submittal shall not be construed as a complete check, and indicates only that the general method or other information appears to meet the TO requirements. Approval does not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for any error which may exist. After item submittals have been approved by the CO, no resubmittal for the purpose of substituting materials or equipment, or changes to any other information will be considered unless accompanied by an explanation of why a substitution or change is necessary.

2.8.12 Disapproved Submittals: Contractor shall correct disapproved item submittals and resubmit for approval within timeframe noted. If no date is given, Contractor shall submit corrected submittal within 14 calendar days. If the Contractor considers any correction or notation on the returned submittal to constitute a change to the TO drawings, specification, or statement of work the Contractor shall notify the CO.

2.8.13 Responsibility: The Government’s review of Contractor submittals shall not relieve the Contractor of the entire responsibility for the correctness of details and dimensions and conformance to the specifications. The Contractor shall assume all responsibility and risk for any mistakes and/or costs due to any errors in submittals.

P a g e | 15

2.8.14 Inconsistencies: If a conflict or inconsistency arises between an approved item submittal and the TO documents, the TO documents shall govern.

2.9 SPECIFIC SUBMITTAL DESCRIPTIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
