1. INTRODUCTION

DoDEA is a Department of Defense Field Activity and is responsible for the operation of a unique school system that serves students worldwide, crossing far more than school districts and state boundaries, with schools on three continents. DoDEA is comprised of the Department of Defense Dependent's Schools (DoDDS), which is DoDEA's overseas school system, and the DoD Domestic Dependent Elementary and Secondary Schools (DDESS), which is DoDEA's domestic school system. DoDEA employs more than 12,500 individuals responsible for the education of approximately 86,000 students in schools located in twelve (12) foreign countries, seven states, Guam and Puerto Rico. DoDEA's mission is to provide a quality education from pre-kindergarten through grade twelve for the eligible minor family members of DoD military and civilian personnel on official assignments.

DoDDS-Europe (DoDDS-E) serves the educational needs of military and civilian employee dependents by providing PK-12 instruction to over 35,000 students. DoDEA’s curriculum and resources compare favorably to high-performing US public schools. While school population should remain relatively stable, fluctuation may occur due to external DoD and military requirements. Contracted services will need to support reduction in schools, additional schools, and/or realignments that occur throughout DoDDS-E during the life span of the contract to meet new mission requirements.

Contracted Routine/Non-Routine Facilities Maintenance, Grounds Maintenance, Custodial services, and project work services will be required at all DoDDS-E locations throughout Germany and Belgium.

These maintenance services are required in order to ensure that all DoDDS-E facilities remain functional, offer an acceptable level of cleanliness, and provide a safe and healthy environment that supports and enhances the educational mission of the agency.

2. PURPOSE

The objective of this Performance Work Statement (PWS) is to obtain contract services for facility inspection, preventative maintenance, facility maintenance, facility repair, grounds maintenance, a custodial program, and minor construction that will ensure all Department of Defense (DoD) Germany and Belgium District schools under DoDDS-E are fully and constantly operational, neat, healthy, sanitary and safe. The overriding objective is to provide the services stated herein with the utmost reliability to minimize any negative impacts on schools which could adversely affect the DoDDS-E mission. This contract shall provide a clean, orderly, safe, cost-effective, and instructionally supportive school environment that contributes to the school district’s mission of providing an exemplary education that inspires and prepares all DoDDS-E students for success in a dynamic, global environment.

The contractor shall provide all necessary management, adequately trained and sufficient personnel, supervision, tools, materials, general and specialized equipment, electronic communication devices, required reporting and transportation necessary to successfully perform the GBSMP program for DoDDS- E schools located throughout Germany and Belgium as identified in Attachment 1, “DoDDS-E Locations.”

It is the government’s expectation that requisite skill levels and resources needed to perform required services under the proposed contract be adequate and sufficiently maintained to ensure continuity in light of the demands, growth and complexity of the DoDDS-E infrastructure.

DoDDS-E is undergoing transformational realignment in support of the Department of Defense (DoD).

During this transformation, contract support requirements may increase or decrease depending on location and the government reserves the right to make these adjustments under the proposed contract through adding or deleting a school(s) or facility(s) within the Germany and Belgium Districts. In the event either scenario occurs, applicable changes to this contract will be negotiated and incorporated via bilateral modification.

The contractor shall comply with applicable U.S. and Host Nation construction codes, existing applicable laws and regulations, environmental laws, and accepted commercial standards and practices.

Installed Equipment located in AAFES Kitchens Food Service Facilities at DoDDS-E schools will not be maintained under this contract except for at the SHAPE Elementary, Middle and High Schools; however, the cafeteria eating area will be maintained under this contract at all schools. Exhibit H provides a listing of kitchen equipment, drawings and cutsheets for SHAPE Elementary, Middle and High Schools.
