C. DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATION/STATEMENT OF WORK

C.1. SCOPE OF WORK

C.1.1 Background

The General Services Administration (GSA) typically procures for operations and maintenance services using a national template statement of work and enforces performance through robust inspections and aggressive monetary penalties. Vendors are often relegated to tasks and decision making defaults to the government. This model of business requires substantial in-house government technical expertise, is very expensive, and tends to diminish both the working relationship with the vendor and objective of leveraging private industry competencies and innovation.

The GSA Mid-Atlantic Region does not operate under this conventional model. Instead, the region purchases vendor provided technical, managerial, and decision making expertise to assist GSA in the holistic management of assets over the long term. Originating in the late 1990s as a result of in-house technical skill set changes and more demanding stakeholder requirements, this program strategy has taken on the name ‘facilities engineering’ and has proven to be a successful model resulting in efficient and effective management of assets while maintaining a lower overall cost of operations.

The facilities engineering model is dependent upon effective partnership with a highly skilled vendor whose objectives are fully aligned with the government to work successfully. To establish a standard of engineering practices, thought processes and problem solving throughout the model, the GSA Mid-Atlantic Region established a program philosophy rooted in ‘systems thinking’ whereby the means and methods for providing building operations and maintenance are established through investigations, metrics, feedback loops, and by establishing a partnership between the government and vendor to achieve joint performance objectives. The goal of applying systems thinking to facility management is to see that every action or decision in operating, maintaining, and retrofitting a building will result in an impact (financial, environmental, human resource), and to evaluate the “full circle” implications. Long term application of systems thinking throughout the Mid-Atlantic Region has resulted in both vendor and government joint command of global short-term and long-term cohesive management of real property assets.

Facility engineering incorporating programmatic systems thinking has proven extremely effective and economical. It remains the cornerstone of the GSA Mid-Atlantic Region’s operations program.

C.1.2 Overview This is a Performance Work Statement (PWS) for Facilities Engineering, Operations and Maintenance Services integrating “systems thinking” into all of the services covered under the scope of this contract. The Government has not been totally prescriptive in describing the processes the Contractor must use to accomplish the goals and objectives of this contract. Rather, this PWS describes the General Services Administration’s minimum requirements and expected outcomes. The Contractor must articulate and detail specifics in their proposal of how they will accomplish every requirement and how the Contractor’s effort will support GSA’s mission of protecting and preserving real property assets while enhancing the level of comfort for tenants (See Section L, Management Plan). All or part of the successful offeror’s Management Plan may be incorporated into the contract. The Contractor must provide management, supervision, labor, materials, equipment, and supplies and shall be responsible for the efficient, effective, economical, and satisfactory operation, scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, and repair of equipment and systems, including vertical transportation located within the property line of the following locations:

As a result, this contract requires the Contractor to participate and partner with the Government in the initiative of obtaining high performance and sustainable operations, inclusive of initiatives to conserve energy and water consumption, recycling programs, meeting or exceeding specific environmental, regulatory, or performance standards, and the utilization of green products and services.

C.2. DEFINITIONS

C.2.1 Acceptance “Acceptance” means an authorized representative of the Government has inspected and agreed that the work meets all requirements of this contract, to include documentation requirements.

C.2.2 Additional Services “Additional services” are services that the Contractor will provide at an additional cost to the Government, to include all labor, supervision, supplies and materials specifically identified as being outside the provisions of the basic services and included in the offeror’s overall pricing. These services may be provided during or after normal working hours. The Contracting Officer (CO) will issue a separate delivery order before work may proceed.

C.2.3 Approval “Approval” means the Government has reviewed submittals, deliverables, and administrative documents (e.g., insurance certificates, installation schedules, planned utility interruptions, etc.) and has determined the documents conform to contract requirements.

C.2.4 Architectural and Structural “Architectural and structural” systems include all building structure, envelope, building improvements and finishes, and site improvements (e.g., paving, walkways, asphalt, etc.)

to the property line.

C.2.5 Basic Services The “basic services” of the contract consist of the recurring contract requirements for which the Contractor is paid as a base price, i.e., the requirements established by the contract statement of work and related general and administrative requirements that do not contain provisions for separate reimbursement.

C.2.6 Building Automation System (BAS) The “building automation system” is a system controlling and monitoring building HVAC, and possibly other systems, to include all device, field, and global controllers;

instrumentation; networking infrastructure; computers and peripherals; software;

programming; database files; and licenses.

C.2.7 Building Operating Plan The “building operating plan” is a mandatory plan that the Contractor prepares for Government approval that describes the Contractor’s program for operating and maintaining each building, to include both normal circumstances and contingencies. The submitted plan(s) shall be maintained in a format consistent with the Government provided template.

C.2.8 Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) A “computerized maintenance management system” is a database and application software package that automates the O&M and repairs record keeping requirements.

C.2.9 Consumable Parts “Consumable parts” or components are parts or components that customarily require regular replacement rather than repair in a maintenance program and must be disposed of properly. Examples include oil, grease, belts, filters, ballasts, lamps, etc.

C.2.10 Contractor “Contractor” as used in this document refers to the firm awarded this contract.

C.2.11 Controls and Control System A “control system” is any low-voltage control, communication and monitoring system, including but not limited to device, field and global controllers; instrumentation; networking infrastructure; computers and peripherals; software; programming; database files; and licenses. Examples are the BAS and lighting control systems. Fire protection systems and security systems are excluded from this definition for purposes of this contract and are defined separately. Gateway devices and mapping software and files for data interchange between a control system and a fire protection or security system are considered part of the control system.

C.2.12 Emergency Callback An “emergency callback” is a service request or other request for service placed outside of normal working hours and of such a nature that response cannot wait for the resumption of the next day’s normal working hours.

C.2.13 Existing Deficiency List Report The “existing deficiency list report” or “existing deficiency list” is a list of deficiencies that may exist, at contract inception, in the equipment and systems covered by this performance work statement, as well as the Contractor's itemized price (including, but not limited to, labor, materials, overhead, and profit) for correcting each deficiency.

C.2.14 Facilities Engineering A program strategy implemented by the GSA Mid-Atlantic Region beginning in the late 1990s in response to in-house technical skill set changes and more demanding stakeholder requirements. A standard operations and maintenance contract is prescriptive in nature and task oriented. The contractor does not evaluate the impact of actions, rather merely provides the basic maintenance services as directed in the contract. A facilities engineering contract includes those same basic services, but also requires the contractor to provide additional technical, managerial, and decision making expertise to assist GSA in the holistic management of our assets over the long term. A facility engineering contractor is expected to participate in asset modernization planning and assists in the evaluation of proposed projects serving as GSA’s trusted partner. A facilities engineering contractor must be able to respond to multidisciplinary demands in a dynamic work environment to achieve joint long and short term performance objectives in partnership with GSA.

C.2.15 Federal Holidays “Federal holidays” for the purposes of this contract are New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Day, President’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans’ Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. When Federal holidays fall on weekends, a weekday is typically designated as the holiday. Holidays that fall on Saturday are observed on the previous Friday and holidays that fall on a Sunday are observed on the following Monday.

C.2.16 Fire Protection and Life Safety Systems “Fire protection and life safety systems “ are systems and equipment installed in the building to (1) detect fire and products of combustion, (2) notify building occupants and emergency responders, (3) initiate smoke control and management systems (4) initiate fire suppression systems, (5) control or suppress fires and (6) facilitate or enhance emergency egress. These systems also may communicate with other major building systems for fire and smoke control, elevator recall, and utilities control. Life safety systems and equipment includes emergency lighting, exit signage, special egress door locking arrangements, and exit stair markings.

C.2.17 Indefinite Quantity “Indefinite quantity” provisions permit the Government to order additional work, in addition to the basic services, and upon acceptance permit additional payment to the Contractor.

C.2.18 Miscellaneous Work “Miscellaneous work” is additional labor that is performed at the request of the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) at no additional cost to the Government (i.e., they are part of basic services.) The Contractor may also have to provide consumable materials to complete the request.

C.2.19 Normal Working Hours “Normal working hours” is the hours of building operations under most circumstances when all services must be provided to all occupants.

C.2.20 Occupant Emergency Plan (OEP) The largest agency in each building is responsible for development and enforcement of the building’s “Occupant Emergency Plan” (OEP). The OEP details what the building tenants must do in case of an emergency. The plan identifies fires wardens, shelter in place locations etc. The Contractor must support all OEP efforts to the fullest extent possible.

C.2.21 Operations “Operations” is the continual process of using building equipment systems to accomplish their function, optimize building performance, and improve energy efficiency. Operations includes analysis of requirements and systems capabilities, operating controls and control systems, responding to service requests, touring and observing equipment performance and condition, adjusting equipment, identifying needed maintenance and repairs to equipment, and maintaining lubrication and chemical treatments, etc.

C.2.22 Predictive Maintenance “Predictive maintenance” is a program of maintenance activities in which scheduling of maintenance derives from monitoring the operating condition, or changes in the operating condition, of equipment being maintained. Predictive maintenance activities should follow performance guidelines consistent with preventive maintenance activities; the only variance is in the “trigger event.”

C.2.23 Preventive Maintenance (Scheduled and Unscheduled) “Scheduled preventive maintenance” is a program of maintenance activities performed based on a fixed schedule or on equipment runtimes “Unscheduled preventive maintenance” is all work performed including adjustments and procedures necessary to sustain the proper operation of all building equipment and systems pending a scheduled procedure.

C.2.24 Quality Control Plan The “quality control plan” (QCP), is the Contractor’s complete written system for identifying and correcting deficiencies in the quality of services before the level of performance becomes unacceptable. Preparation of this document is the responsibility of the Contractor.

C.2.25 Repair A “repair” is an act of restoring inoperable, dysfunctional or deteriorated equipment, systems, or material to a fully functional, non-deteriorated state. Repairs usually involve some combination of labor and replacement parts, components or materials.

C.2.26 Non-Reimbursable Repair A “non-reimbursable repair” is a repair that is the Contractor’s responsibility with no additional reimbursement from the Government.

C.2.27 Reimbursable Repair A “reimbursable repair” is a repair that is reimbursable to the Contractor, in whole or in part, in accordance with the provisions in this document.

C.2.28 Service Request A “service request” is a response to a GSA, tenant, or agency request or a response to an observation that some equipment, system or material covered by the contract is inoperable, dysfunctional, deteriorated, not within normal operating parameters, or that performance standards of the contract are not being met. Service request response involves analysis of the problem and adjustment of operating or monitoring controls or other immediate corrective action. A requirement to perform a repair may result from the analysis stage of a service request. Service requests may be generated automatically from interfaces to BAS or diagnostic software.

C.2.29 Systems Thinking “Systems thinking” is a program philosophy that was incorporated into facilities engineering contracts by the GSA Mid-Atlantic Region beginning in the late 1990s to establish a standard of engineering practices, thought processes and problem solving throughout the service solution. A term defined by Peter Senge, director of the Center of Organization Learning at MIT’s Sloan School of Management. “It is a discipline for seeing wholes. It is a framework for seeing interrelationships rather than things, for seeing patterns of change rather than static ‘snapshots’”. It is a set of specific tools and techniques of feedback and engineering theory to understand systems. The goal of applying systems thinking to facility management is to see that every action or decision in operating, maintaining, and retrofitting a building will result in an impact (financial, environmental, human resource), and to evaluate the “full circle” implications. A standard operations and maintenance (O&M) contract is prescriptive in nature, and does not implement a systems thinking approach. The contractor does not evaluate the impact of actions, but merely provides services as directed by the owner. Details such as the how and when of building maintenance and operations are not defined, and are not questioned by the contractor. A systems thinking approach is performance oriented and questions all decisions and actions. The means and methods for providing building operations and maintenance are established through investigations, feedback, and by establishing a partnership with the owner to achieve joint performance objectives. Applying systems thinking develops an understanding and appreciation of global short-term and long-term consequences of any action or decision to be made. Systems thinking approach results in an integrated approach that creates system interfaces. Not applying systems thinking results in decisions and actions that are made in isolation, decisions that are made in a void without determining the consequences to other systems. Not applying systems thinking results in poor or inefficient building systems, crisis management, and the wasting of energy and financial resources.” In short, the essence of systems thinking is found in the ability to:

• See interrelationships rather than linear cause-effect chains, and

• See processes of change rather than snapshots, and

• Balance inquiry and advocacy issues to achieve fair evaluation and response

C.2.30 Tour A “tour” is generally a scheduled walkthrough of equipment rooms and installations including computer rooms, and restrooms, etc. by Contractor operating personnel for the purpose of ensuring that equipment is running properly, ensuring that equipment rooms are in good order and without safety hazards, to satisfy tour and log requirements mandated by any acts, codes or regulations as contained in Section J, Exhibit J1of this PWS and making any necessary adjustments to operating controls or to lubricate equipment. A tour may also involve a combination of such physical visits in addition to using automated systems for the monitoring of equipment and systems.

C.2.31 Watch A “watch” involves performing certain tasks required for the operation of the HVAC equipment (central systems over 300 tons), boilers, compressors, and related equipment in a centralized location. Watches include, but are not limited to starting equipment, checking at designated intervals all operating equipment in the area, recording readings, shifting equipment and loads, making adjustments at the central control center, taking water samples, making tests, and adding chemicals as required.

C.3. REFERENCES AND PUBLICATIONS

The publications incorporated by reference as setting quality, performance, and design standards for work required in this document are referenced in Section J, Exhibit J1, of this PWS. The Contractor must be completely knowledgeable of all State, Local, and Federal publications which apply to any of the equipment or systems covered under the scope of this contract and perform all tests, inspections, records, logs, files , and preventive maintenance procedures required by the publications.

C.4. EXISTING DEFICIENCY INSPECTION/INITIAL DEFICIENCY LIST:

The Contractor and the COR or designee must make a complete and systematic initial inspection together during the startup or transition phase of the contract that will include all mechanical, electrical, fire protection, and utility systems and equipment, windows, doors, and other structural features for which maintenance and repairs are covered by this performance work statement. The purpose of this inspection shall be to discover and list in an existing deficiency list report all deficiencies that may exist in the equipment and systems covered by this performance work statement, as well as the Contractor's itemized price (including, but not limited to labor, materials, overhead, and profit) for correcting each deficiency. The existing deficiency list report must not include any items that would be replaced, repaired, or adjusted during the performance of normal preventive maintenance.

When an existing deficiency in an item is corrected, the Contractor must assume full responsibility for the subsequent repair of the item as covered under the terms of this contract at no additional cost to the Government. Nothing in this existing deficiency inspection/initial deficiency list clause must be construed as diminishing the obligations imposed by this contract upon the Contractor to operate any deficient item (to the extent operable) or to adjust or maintain any such item.

C.5. TRANSITION PHASE

The Contractor must provide sixty calendar days (60) of transition startup services after award and prior to the start of the initial performance period to assist transitioning between contractors The purpose of this phase is to permit a transition that is seamless to the tenants and to assess the condition of the building and incomplete maintenance work at the time of contractor transition. During this period the Contractor must:

1. Develop a new, updated building operating plan

2. Inspect the condition of all equipment and systems for which the Contractor will assume responsibility

3. Review work order history and equipment inventory information

4. Develop the initial deficiency list report, including an itemized estimate for correcting each deficiency as described in Section C.4., Existing Deficiency Inspection/Initial Deficiency List

Not later than the end of the transition phase and the concurrent beginning of operations and maintenance services, the Contractor must submit for GSA’s approval:

1. The new building operating plan.

2. The initial deficiency list report, as described elsewhere in this document.

The Contractor may not submit a separate invoice for transition phase services. For invoicing purposes, the contract will be deemed to commence on the first day of the initial period of performance.

C.6. PHASE OUT TRANSITION PERIOD

When this contract expires or is otherwise terminated, the Contractor must cooperate with the incoming contractor during a phase out period. For planning purposes, the Contractor must assume a phase out period concurrent with the final sixty calendar days (60) of contract performance. During this phase out period, the Contractor must assist the COR or designee and incoming contractor for a seamless transition in operations and maintenance with no adverse effect on the building tenants; provide the successor contractor with access to all records and official documentation (both hard copies and electronic as applicable) required by this contract; provide training to the successor contractor on methods of accessing and programming the building automation system (BAS) and other control systems; and show the successor contractor where all archived programs and systems literature are maintained. On the last performance day of the contract, the Contractor must turn over to the COR or designee all keys and identification badges or cards.

C.7. PUNCH LIST COMPLETION AND WITHHOLDING OF FINAL

PAYMENT

The Government may create a punch list of deficiencies or unmet contractual requirements at or near the time of termination of the contract. The Government may employ the services of another contractor in the development of such punch list and upon completion provide the Contractor with a copy of work not completed, to include the monetary value the Government has assigned for each item. The Government retains sole discretion over whether to charge the Contractor for the monetary value of the punch list in whole or in part or to request corrections by the Contractor. If the Government elects to request corrections by the Contractor, the Contractor shall have until the end of the contract period to perform such corrections and may invoice for funds withheld on acceptance of the corrections by the Government. Nothing in this section must be construed to limit the Contractor’s liability or restrict the Government from reporting unsatisfactory or problematic performance by the Contactor.

C.8. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS

C.8.1 Minimum Staffing and Ability to Communicate The Contractor must adhere to a staffing plan and subcontracting plan that provides sufficient numbers of staff at the various levels of expertise to ensure all scheduled and unscheduled services are performed and conditions are maintained to avoid any disruption to the tenant.
