In order to meet the objective of this contract, the contractor shall provide expertise in routine construction activities. The contractor will also have the ability to provide expertise in diverse fields of engineering and design. The Contractor shall provide complete and fully operational facilities and systems upon contract completion. The final product provided by the Contractor shall conform to the Government accepted commercial and industrial quality standards with regard to fit, finish, form, and function as detailed in the Statement of Work (SOW) and industry standards and codes as typically referenced to utilize by the trades industries. The “work” shall mean to provide and install a fully operating and functioning system, assembly, framework, fixture or apparatus that is complete, finished and ready to use by the Government. “Repair” or “Replace” shall mean to also provide the additional work required to modify or integrate an existing system, assembly, framework, fixture, or apparatus as necessary to accomplish the “work” and ready for use by the Government.

The following types of work may be required:

The scope of work may include construction only, design services only, or both design and construction services.

0.4.1.1 Construction: Contractors shall perform a variety of common construction tasks. Work involving all 50 divisions of the CSI may be required. For construction only, a detailed description of the work to be accomplished and/or detailed drawings and specifications, or other project related documents will be provided by the Government as part of the contract. However, construction projects may require incidental professional design services. Examples of incidental design services would be, but not limited to, erosion and sediment control plans, value engineering recommendations, fire sprinkler shop and fabrications drawings with calculations, certified steel and foundation detail and fabrication drawings, ductwork shop and fabrication drawings, piping shop and fabrication drawings, power and lighting plans and diagrams.

0.4.1.2 Design Services: The Contractor's team shall develop documents such as detailed construction drawings, specifications in the Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS), load calculations, design analysis, material submittals and other pertinent data, to be submitted. The Contractor's team shall perform all surveys and site investigations required to properly develop the drawings and specifications that clearly indicate how the contractor intends to construct the design requirements. Formal certification by an appropriately licensed Designer of Record (DOR) shall be required for some or all of these documents to ensure life, safety and health, or as required to ensure regulatory compliance. These documents shall ensure that the Government's requirements and design intent are being met and shall also be used for the actual construction effort. These documents will also be used in the contractors' quality control program. Drawings may include scaled and dimensioned floor plans, elevations, sections, details, site and utility plans, demolition plans, equipment layouts, etc., and shall represent all disciplines involved. Drawings shall be professionally prepared and shall clearly delineate the size, shape, quantities, location, and relationships of existing and/or new work. The drawings, when viewed along with the specifications, catalog cuts, and manufacturer's installation instructions and other submittals, shall provide a clear and concise representation of the work to be accomplished.
