PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

FOR BALLISTIC GLASS PROJECT

I. BACKGROUND

The United States Section of the International Boundary and Water Commission (USIBWC) is located on the International boundary between the United States and Mexico. The Security Services Division (SSD) conducted research and analysis of the area and determined that the administration building, and the dam need ballistic glass for personnel protection while working on site. Anzalduas Dam is a diversion dam located in Hidalgo County, Texas, approximately 11 river miles upstream from Hidalgo, Texas between Mission, Texas and Reynosa, Tamaulipas. Construction of this dam began in April 1956 and became Lower Rio Grande Diversion Dam Locations fully operational in April of 1960. The purpose of Anzalduas Dam is to divert the U.S. Share of floodwaters to its interior floodway. It also enables the diversion of waters to Mexico's main irrigation canal.

II. SUMMARY

The purpose of this project is to install ballistic glass windows at the Anzalduas Dam. It is understood by the USIBWC that the recommended solutions that are outlined in the Performance Work Statement (PWS) may require slight adjustments to allow for quality installation of the recommended improvements.

The work to be performed under this Contract consists of installing complete and operational systems consisting of, but not limited to; fabrication, testing, documentation, packaging, delivery, removal of old glass, preparing window openings for new frames, installation of new frames, installation, and commissioning of the systems/measures as outlined in this PWS for the Anzalduas Dam. End result shall be a turn-key operation.

The Contractor shall provide all work plans, designs, investigations, studies, permits, project supervision, equipment, labor, materials, installation/implementation, testing, training, annual maintenance estimates, and travel required to meet the security requirements under the PWS for Anzalduas Dam.

The work supplied under this specification shall be complete in every detail for the purpose required. The Contract shall include the supply of materials and services not specifically mentioned herein, but which may be necessary to complete any portion of the work in compliance with the requirements of this PWS.

II. LOCATION
