PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Part 1: General Information

1.1 Introduction

The purpose of this contract is to fulfill a need of the Pentagon for Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) services.

The Pentagon is a building, an institution, a symbol, the headquarters of the Department of Defense (DoD), and a designated National Historic Landmark. The Pentagon’s three occupant groups (military, civilian, and contractor) contribute to the planning and execution of the defense of the USA. The Pentagon is one of the world’s largest, well-known, and most recognizable buildings. It is twice the size of the Merchandise Mart in Chicago; it has three times the floor space of the Empire State Building in New York City. The US Capitol Building could fit into any one of the five wedge-shaped sections. The Pentagon is virtually a city in itself. In terms of population, the Pentagon’s 23,000 employees make it larger than nine out of ten towns in the USA. The Pentagon was built between 1941 and 1943. It has over 6.6 million square feet of floor space; five floors;17.5 miles of corridors, yet it only takes an average of seven minutes to walk between the most distant points; 690 drinking water fountains; a heliport; chapels;

a library and conference center; 150 miles of heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) ductwork; 67 acres of parking lots; primary care, dental, and occupational medicine clinics; athletic center with swimming pool;

approximately 50 vendor food service establishments, approximately 20 retail vendors and a US Post Office.

EHS supported populations vary with the organization and nature of the requested work. As this contract belongs to Washington Headquarters Services (WHS), it provides support to WHS and personnel from the 8 WHS-Serviced Organizations (e.g., Office of the Secretary of Defense, Joint Chiefs of Staff and Pentagon Force Protection Agency).

Since WHS maintains the Pentagon, we provide building related services throughout the Pentagon, usually in the form of indoor air quality surveys. Lastly, we provide services to delegated leased facilities in the National Capital Region (NCR) and at other WHS-managed government owned facilities off the Pentagon Reservation. Population wise, WHS and WHS-Serviced Organizations total 5,500 people; however, they are located throughout the NCR. In total, the Pentagon has 23,000 occupants, and another 42,000 reside in delegated and non-delegated leased facilities, and WHS-managed government owned facilities in the NCR. Theoretically, a request for services could come from any one of the over 65,000 DoD employees in the NCR.

1.2 Background

This contract will be an immediately “follow on” to a previous contract. This contract is offered as a one-year contract with a possible additional four, one year (1) options depending on the Contractor’s performance and/or other factors. This will be a Firm Fixed Price, Indefinite Quantity Indefinite Delivery (IDIQ) contract.

1.3 Objectives

The objective of this contract is to help prevent occupational injuries and illnesses through accurate and timely hazard identification; provide safety oversight for on-going renovation, repair, demolition and construction; facilitate resourceful and relevant hazard abatement; and, providing reliable and responsive communication. WHS is currently in the process of implementing a health and safety program that will meet the standards of an OSHA Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP) Star program. The selected contractor will provide the level of service that is required to establish and maintain this level of excellence. Experience of both the contractor and the proposed contract staff with the successful implementation of VPP programs at other government facilities will be a factor in contractor selection. The selected contractor will also be required to assess training related items that may be required to bring WHS facilities into compliance with OSHA requirements. An example of this activity could be an evaluation of fall protection equipment. This contract is also designed to include construction safety positions and embedded personnel in the Pentagon “shops”.
