SECTION C SPECIFICATIONS/SOW/SOO/ORD

C.1 SECTION C DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/WORK STATEMENT

COMPREHENSIVE TACTICAL INFRASTRUCTURE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR (CTIMR) STATEMENT

OF WORK (SOW)

1.0 Introduction

The purpose of this Statement of Work (SOW) is to acquire contractor Maintenance and Repair (M&R) support along the Southwest Border and surrounding areas. The support shall consist of: fence and gates; roads and bridges; drainage and grate systems; lighting and electrical systems and; vegetation control and debris removal.

1.1 Background

Section 102 of the Secure Fence Act requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to construct – in the most expeditious manner possible – the infrastructure necessary to deter and prevent illegal entry on our Southwest Border, including pedestrian and vehicle fencing, roads, and technology. Gaining effective control of our Nation’s borders is a critical element of national security, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is constructing tactical infrastructure (TI) to better execute this vital mission.

Under the Facilities Management and Engineering (FM&E) Division of CBP, the Border Patrol Facilities and Tactical Infrastructure (BPFTI) Program Management Office (PMO) – originally part of the Secure Border Initiative (SBI) – was established to acquire, maintain, and sustain all TI. The program develops and installs physical components (consisting mainly of roads, bridges, pedestrian and vehicle fences, and lights) designed to consistently slow, delay, and act as persistent impedance to illicit cross-border activity. TI, in turn, helps increase the level of operational control by the Border Patrol between the Land Ports of Entry (LPOEs).

Fencing is but one element of this layered defense-in-depth plan. Each Border Patrol Sector identifies specific TI requirements that if fulfilled will enable agents to perform their mission more efficiently and increase the Sectors’ level of effective control based upon the current-day threat.

The TI program addresses the goals and objectives established by both the DHS 2008 Strategic Plan and U.S.

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Fiscal Year 2009-2014 Strategic Plan (draft). The TI program directly aligns with the achievement of the DHS Strategic Plan’s Goal 1 – “Protect our Nation from dangerous people,” and corresponding Objective 1.1 – “Achieve effective control of our borders.” The TI program also directly aligns with the achievement of the CBP Strategic Plan’s Goal 1 – “Secure our Nation’s borders to protect America from the entry of dangerous people and goods and prevent unlawful trade and travel,” and corresponding Objective 1.1 – “Establish and maintain effective control of air, land, and maritime borders through the use of the appropriate mix of infrastructure, technology, and personnel.”

1.2 Scope

This work effort addresses the M&R of TI along Work Area 1 of the Southwest Border as defined in Table 1.2- 1 – Work Areas below. It also addresses, at the discretion of the Government, improvements incidental to the M&R of existing TI. Architectural and Engineering (AE) design is not part of this contract.

Maintenance includes work activities that preserve or sustain the ability of an asset to continue to carry out its intended function or preserve its established level of performance.

Repairs include work to restore an existing asset to pre-existing condition and level of performance so that it may be effectively utilized for its designated purpose.

Improvements include work that enhances the mission and functional capabilities of an asset through an addition, expansion, or adaptation. For example, a replacement of fence sections with more permanent fence structures, improving the condition of a roadway by adding improved base or surfacing material on a large section of road, and replacing a drainage culvert with a larger diameter culvert. Any improvements included in this work effort will be confined to the existing TI footprint and will not exceed a dollar level threshold of $750,000 per activity. All improvements shall be assessed for environmental and real estate compliance requirements.

While the Border Patrol divides the Southwest Border into nine (9) unique Sectors, for internal contract management purposes, CBP has aggregated the Sectors into four (4) work area-oriented groupings, of which the focus of this acquisition is Work Area 1 (as shown in Table 1.2-1 below). This was done to align Sectors with similar characteristics to promote efficiency and ensure consistency with other CBP programs. While the TI within each Sector is similar, the specific TI types and quantities vary, driving the different M&R requirements for each Sector.

Work Area Sectors Length of border

(miles) El Centro, CA 83 San Diego, CA 70

Total 153

Table 1.2-1. Work Area 1

As shown in Table 1.2-1 above, Work Area 1 is divided into two Sectors, El Centro, CA and San Diego, CA.

The El Centro Sector (ELC) is situated within the Imperial Valley of Southern California. ELC consists of four Border Patrol stations, which have some of the most rugged, remote, and diverse terrain along the southwest border, posing many dangers for agents and potential border crossers. Border Patrol Stations are located at El Centro, Calexico, Indio, and Riverside. The El Centro Sector area of responsibility spans 70 linear miles along the international boundary with Mexico from the Jacumba Mountains in the west to the Imperial Sand Dunes in the east. The Imperial Valley has three main cities, Calexico, El Centro and Brawley. These incorporated areas and other small communities comprise less than one percent of the land. Half of the land is currently undeveloped, with one-fifth of nearly 3 million acres being irrigated for agricultural purposes. The Imperial Valley is almost entirely below sea level, which contributes to the hot and dry climate.

In the San Diego Sector there is currently about 56,831 square miles of inland area, including 114 linear miles of coastline and 60 linear miles of international boundary with Mexico, within the 7,000 square miles roughly corresponding to the boundaries of San Diego County and the southern portions of Orange and Riverside Counties.

1.3 Objectives

The Government seeks a Contractor that has the proven management and technical capability and sufficient, directly-related experience and resources to perform a wide variety of urgent and routine M&R activities for different types of assets dispersed along Work Area 1 (see Table 1.2-1) of the Southwest Border of the United States. The Contractor must have demonstrated management and technical capability to efficiently and effectively manage its personnel, equipment, and other resources to satisfy all Government requirements.

3.0 Work Requirements

The Government requires maintenance, repair (M&R), and improvement support in five work categories:

1) Fence and Gates

2) Roads and Bridges

3) Drainage and Grate Systems

4) Lighting and Electrical Systems

5) Vegetation Control and Debris Removal

A Program Management contract line item (CLIN) is included to capture appropriate, allowable and allocable program management support for the work plan development and other program management tasks (e.g., report development/submission), and is described in Section 3.1.7.

An optional Improvement Activity CLIN is also included for the performance of specific improvement activities relative to the program, and is described in Section 3.1.8.

The work required to support the TI varies based on the inventory quantities for each work category, the number and type of incidents, type and recurrence of road washouts/deterioration, time of year (variances in illegal border traffic fluctuate with the time of year), economic conditions, weather events, and location. There is typically a higher frequency of damage in and around the more urbanized areas.

As the basis for routine M&R work requirements, the Contractor will be required to develop the appropriate work plan (typically in sequential, 90 day performance periods, but at the discretion of the Government, may be extended to 180, 270 or 365 days).

The Contractor must also collect, store, and report certain data in contract deliverables (e.g., recurring reports) and/or into an automated system for use by the Government.

As part of this contract, the Government will divide and classify the M&R work to be performed as either urgent or routine. The classifications are defined as:

Urgent – Urgent work consists of M&R work requirements resulting from willful or other destruction, a natural event such as severe weather, or premature failure of the TI asset and poses an immediate risk to operations, systems, equipment or components. Urgent work requirements are typically completed to promote Agent safety and alleviate the situation before injury occurs, equipment or property is damaged, or the condition worsens. Urgent work requirements (such as breaches for fences, gates, and grates, certain road washouts, etc.) may be performed five (5) days a week, as required. The contractor must respond immediately to urgent work requirements (as defined in Table 3-1 below) to support mission requirements.

Routine – Routine work consists of all non-urgent M&R work requirements that can be planned or scheduled at a designated frequency. The work requirements do not pose an immediate risk to systems, equipment or components and can be performed on a routine planned and scheduled basis. Routine work requirements will be performed five (5) days a week from Monday to Friday. The contractor’s response to routine work requirements is typically greater than five (5) business days in duration or as scheduled in the approved contractor work plan.

During urgent work requirements, the Contractor shall provide services to restore TI asset conditions to its pre-existing condition. It is anticipated that the majority of all urgent work requirements will result from breaches of fences, gates, grates, and roads for which repair work will be completed during normal business hours.

However, based on mission requirements, the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) may direct the Contractor to perform a limited amount of urgent work requirements beyond or after normal business hours.

Table 3-1 provides typical urgent services response and support times. The COR will set the time to start and completion of the M&R work will be based on the severity and location of the urgent service required.

Contractor Acknowledgement

Government Prescribed Time to Start and Finish

Notification of Completion Time

Thirty minutes from notification by the COR, the Contractor shall provide a mobilization response 2

As defined by the COR, work shall typically start within twenty-four hours after the Contractor is notified by the

COR.

Within two hours of arriving at the repair site the Contractor shall notify the COR of the estimated completion time 3

1 Both mobilization response and completion times are established from the time of notification (or identification).

2 Mobilization Response is when the Contractor verbalizes to the COR the plan of action to complete the urgent repair, including justification for any time needed outside of the Government prescribed times. Exceptions are made only by the COR.

3 Completion is defined as when TI assets are restored back to pre-existing conditions. If estimated completion time is greater than 24 hours, Contractor shall provide COR verbal or email explanation as to why and the plan to complete said work.

Table 3-1. Typical Urgent Services Support Times 1

The Government shall have the primary TI inspection responsibility to identify M&R work requirements. The Contractor shall report to the Government any work requirements that it observes while performing maintenance, repair or improvement activities. Also, the Government may require the Contractor to formally survey and inspect select TI on a periodic basis.

3.1 Description of Work

3.1.1 Fence and Gates

There are two general types of fencing: pedestrian fencing and vehicle fencing. Each fence type has several different designs (e.g., for pedestrian fence, there is chain link, wire mesh, landing mat, steel bollards, and other designs).

Many fence segments and roads have gates that will also require periodic M&R. The gates are manually, mechanically, and/or electromechanically-operated. All electrical work is covered in section 3.1.4.

The Contractor shall perform maintenance and repair on approximately 120.14 miles of fence and 290 gate/panels (depicted by Sector in Table 3.1.1-1) consisting of multiple types of fence (shown in Table 3.1.1-2). All fence and gate maintenance and repairs shall be performed in accordance with the CBP Tactical Infrastructure (TI) Standard Designs as noted in Section J, Attachment (10).

Table 3.1.1-2. Work Area 1 Miles of Fence by Type

3.1.1.1 Fence and Gates - Type of Damage

Based on historical data, CBP experiences on average over 280 Fence breaches per year within this Work Area.

Damage to fencing can be caused by two primary elements: Natural and Manmade.

Natural elements refer to the forces of nature that will act upon the fencing and include corrosion, erosion, water pooling, sand drifting, debris build-up, wind loading, temperature change (i.e., thermal expansion and contraction cycles that may create cracks) and ground shift.

Manmade elements refers to damage made by vandalism and includes, but may not be limited to, the following attack/defeat vectors: cutting, burrowing below, climbing, prying/twisting, disassembly, ramming, ramping/bridging, pulling down, graffiti, cryogenic and fire/heating/burning. Fence segments have varying levels of susceptibility to the aforementioned damage elements depending on design and location.

3.1.1.2 Fence - Type of Work

The Contractor, at a minimum, shall perform the following types of work as directed by the COR:

Making repairs that restore the structural integrity to pre-existing state, are tamper proof, and do not significantly change the design

Fixing damage caused by burrowing, water, and wind erosion

Fixing damage to fence foundations and all erosion control elements

Relocating fence sections that are specially designed to work on shifting sands

Repositioning movable fence segments that have concrete bases and set on top of the ground

Preparing the fence for potential floods by taking preventative actions such as removing and storing fence panels, and then reinstalling them after flood events subside

Moving and storing fence panels so levee and other work can be performed and then reinstalling them

Abate graffiti by methods approved by the Government

3.1.1.3 Gates - Type of Work

The Contractor, at a minimum, shall perform the following types of M&R work as directed by the COR:

Making repairs that restore the structural integrity to pre-existing state, are tamper proof, and do not significantly change the design

Fixing damage caused by ramming, burrowing, water, and wind erosion

In addition to these repairs, the Contractor shall also perform monthly preventative maintenance to ensure that the gates are maintained in good working order. This systemic maintenance will be performed and documented on a completed check sheet and submitted to the COR each month. This maintenance includes, but is not limited to:

Electrically operate gate, check for binding, and adjust/grease/repair as necessary (minor repairs for preventative maintenance only)

Remove all accumulated debris, dirt and corrosion build up from inside each unit

Check for any broken welds on the vehicle gate frame structure or fence panels

Reinforce the operator stands (minor repairs)

Clean and remove all of the accumulated debris from the V track rails, Apply a coating of cold galvanizing compound on the V track rails as needed

Remove the accumulated grease and dirt build up on the aluminum guide tracks on the Hy-Security Hydraulic gate operator units

Remove any accumulated corrosion from the drive chains

Remove any dirt or corrosion damage from the controller boards or any electronic components

Lubricate all grease fittings, drive chains, gate wheels, guide rollers if applicable

Check gear box oil or hydraulic oil if applicable, refill if necessary

Check for oil leaks, repair as necessary (minor repairs)

Check alignment of motor and condition of belt- adjust or replace as needed

Check hardware for tightness (Important: Contractor to conduct load test and check shear pins)

Check travel stop limit switches for proper opening and closing, and adjust if necessary

Check all safety/reverse devices for proper operation

Check amperage readings, compare with the unit data and adjust settings on control panels as needed

Observe standard safety procedures

Use lock-out/tag out

Check all electrical wires for damage (e.g., fraying) - repair as necessary (minor repairs)

Check all access covers and enclosure covers for rain tight, replace any missing screws

Test the entire gate system

Gate maintenance will not include replacement of parts. Any repair requirements identified by the Contractor during the gate maintenance inspection will be recommended to the COR for subsequent repair approval.

3.1.2 Roads and Bridges

Approximately 210.93 miles of roads in San Diego and El Centro Sectors are used for patrolling and access to TI. The roads can be sand, dirt, gravel, or paved, and require different types of maintenance and varying levels of repair. Culverts, low water crossings, cattle guards, guardrails, and bridges are also part of the road system. Many of the roads belong to public agencies other than CBP, or to private individuals, creating some challenges to road M&R, such as acquiring Rights of Entry and maintaining accurate mileage information and location data. The Government will coordinate the Rights of Entry and mapping for all roads.

CBP classifies its roads as follows:

FC-1: any type of surface paved road. These roads may include surfaces consisting of bituminous asphalt and aggregate, hot-mix asphaltic concrete, portland cement concrete or some combination of these types of improved surface courses; generally overlaying an aggregate base course of varying depths.

FC-2: an all-weather road. These roads generally consist of 6” minimum depth well-graded aggregate (may be native or imported) roadbeds, shaped with a defined crown section and including adequate parallel ditches and cross-culverts to ensure proper drainage both parallel and transverse to the road alignment. These roads should allow travel even during inclement weather, with service disruption only in the case of severe localized flooding of the road.

FC-3: a graded earth road. These roads should generally consist of a defined crown section and parallel ditches, similar to the FC-2 roads. However, the graded earth roadbed will consist of shaped and compacted in-situ materials of varying depth. These roads will be more susceptible to service disruption during storms of only moderate severity. Wet weather traction may also be compromised in areas with clay or silt soils.

FC-4: a two-track road. These roads may also be described as un-improved roads, wagon trails, or 4-wheel drive roads. The two track name implies that the road consists of two parallel tracks created by the loss of vegetation where the tires contact and compact the earth; between which may lay a strip of low-growth vegetation. These roads generally receive very little maintenance consisting primarily of occasional brush and boulder clearing, and possibly, but much less frequently, box-blading. Two-track roads have no crown, and generally do not have any improved drainage features or ditches.

The Contractor shall perform maintenance and repair on approximately 210.93 miles of road and 5 bridges/crossovers (depicted by Sector in Table 3.1.2-1) consisting 4 types of classifications (shown in Table 3.1.2-2). All road maintenance and repairs shall be performed in accordance with the CBP Tactical Infrastructure (TI) Standard Designs as noted in Section J, Attachment (10).

San Diego Sector Total Roads - Access Only (miles) 16.31 Roads (miles ) 115.41 Bridges/Crossovers (count) 5 El Centro Sector Total Roads - Access Only (miles) 2.23 Roads (miles ) 76.98 Bridges/Crossovers (count) 0

Table 3.1.2-2. Work Area 1 Roads and Bridges Classifications

3.1.2.1 Roads and Bridges – Frequency of Repairs

Each Sector’s M&R work requirements vary across the different road classifications. Road maintenance is relatively predictable and can usually be scheduled in advance as routine work. Access roads to fence and technology facilities need to be inspected after major natural events (such as rainstorms) as directed by the

COR.

3.1.2.2 Roads and Bridges – Type of Work

The Contractor, at a minimum, shall perform the following types of work (as directed by the COR):

Blading FC-2, FC-3, and sand-based roads to facilitate traffic and provide proper drainage.

Performing spot surfacing, patching potholes, deep patching of asphalt surface, skin patching of asphalt surfaces, and patching asphalt berms. The work includes preparing the area, furnishing, hauling, and placing all necessary materials.

Removing and/or clearing vegetation so that roads are drivable

Furnishing, hauling, and placing erosion resistant materials and protective materials for use on designated locations such as embankments and culvert inlets.

Returning road sections damaged by weather events or excessive use to a serviceable condition.

Adding binding and/or stabilizing agents to roads for dust suppression and road stabilization efforts.

Repair or replace damaged safety barriers, guardrails, signs, etc.

Inspecting bridges (to include cross-overs), as required by applicable codes, to evaluate the structural integrity and determine M&R requirements. Bridge inspections and evaluations are to be performed by personnel properly trained or certified to perform bridge inspections.

Perform periodic maintenance to bridges and repair damage related to weather-related events and willful/accidental destruction.

3.1.3 Drainage and Grate Systems

Drainage systems comprise items such as catch basins, storm drainage grates, and conveyance structures used for peak water flow mitigation and runoff control/containment, water quality improvement, and flood plain compensation. They can range in size from two-foot diameter pipes to tunnels large enough to accommodate trucks.

The Contractor shall perform maintenance and repair on approximately 463 culverts and 14 low water crossings (depicted by Sector in Table 3.1.3-1):

San Diego Sector Total Culvert (count) 19 Low Water Crossings (count) 14 El Centro Sector Total Culvert (count) 444 Low Water Crossings (count) 0

Table 3.1.3-1. Work Area 1 Drainage and Grates Quantities

3.1.3.1 Drainage and Grate Systems – Type of Damage

Repairs are required to keep drainage systems operating efficiently. The periodic removal of debris, silt and trash is required to reduce the risk of flooding and to ensure proper functioning. Water flowing at or near the border may be contaminated, at times requiring special hazardous material (HAZMAT) equipment and procedures to perform the work.

The drainage system gates and grates are subject to frequent vandalism. The most common form of vandalism is cutting the gate or grate with a saw or torch to allow for illicit traffic/activities to pass. Other forms of vandalism occur such as using hydraulic jacks to pry openings in the structure.

3.1.3.2 Drainage and Grate Systems – Type of Work

Making repairs that restore the structural integrity, are tamper proof, and do not change the design without prior COR approval

Fixing damage caused by water and wind erosion

Removing and replacing existing culverts and appurtenances with new ones

Cleaning and reconditioning culverts, appurtenances, other drainage structures, and ditches

Restoring drainage system function by removing debris, silt and other obstacles

3.1.4 Lighting and Electrical Systems

Lighting systems and electrical equipment range from power supply and distribution (both above and below ground), utility pole-style lights and stadium-type lights and are used to illuminate the border at night. Also included are electrical components of gates and grates.

The Contractor shall perform maintenance and repair on approximately 586 lights (depicted by Sector in Table 3.1.4-1):

San Diego Sector Total Lights (count) 326 El Centro Sector Total Lights (count) 260

Table 3.1.4-1. Work Area 1 Lighting and Electrical Systems Quantities

3.1.4.1 Lighting and Electrical Systems – Type of Damage

Damage to lighting and electrical systems may be caused by a variety of events such as shooting out lights, theft of lighting system copper wire, or poles downed by storms or vehicles.
