There are Installation Management Command (IMCOM) and APG directed common levels of service (CLS). Work requested outside the scope of CLS is known as above common level of service (ACLS). IMCOM funding constraints, DPW work backlogs, and the need for specific technical experts support the justification for the organization to use contractor(s) to perform necessary maintenance, services, and facility alterations to meet mission requirements and improve the quality of life for the ATEC workforce. There is also a critical need to perform expedited or emergency services as needed to restore services or clean-up after catastrophic events or equipment failures.

Authorized activities may include space reconfiguration and system upgrades intended to optimize the operational environment. These activities are confined within ATEC's existing footprint and are distinct from capital construction on Garrison-owned real property. The Contractor shall provide non-personal services to repair/replace, design/build, and construct as described by this Performance Work Statement (PWS) and incorporated in each Task Order (TO). The Contractor shall provide all labor, materials, installation, equipment, tools, supplies, quality control, inspections, and supervision of contractor personnel to perform the work requirements outlined in this PWS.
