Section SF 1449 - CONTINUATION SHEET

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

1. Background. The contracted boat yard is responsible for providing safe working conditions for not only their own employees but also for government civilian/military personnel who perform work at the boat yard during the yard period. Therefore, the government requires the boat yard to employ safety Best Management Practices (BMP) complying with applicable Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) state and federal laws. Vessels are identical vessels. Each vessel is approximately 74’ long, 16’ wide and weighs approximately 100 tons.

2. Location. Contracted boat yard must be located within 2 hrs driving time via waterway and within 1 hr driving time via government vehicle to reduce excess travel time by government civilian/military personnel who will be required to perform various tasks during the yard period. Any excess travel via government vehicle reduces the amount of time available to complete tasking and thus increases the length of the yard period.

3. Scope of Work. The following is required during each yard period:

a) The government will make the vessel available to the contractor by way of water.

b) Contractor shall haul, block, farrow blast hull, & launch vessel.

c) Service vessel lay days, anticipated project duration of three weeks.

d) Contractor shall provide a Navy Gas Free Engineer (qualified to Naval Maritime Confined Space Program S6470-AA-SAF-010) to clear the confined spaces, if inspection results warrant a need.

e) Contractor shall provide personnel and materials to complete anti-freeze drainage/containment, removal, inspection, gasket replacement, re-installation, and replenishment of approx. 60 gal of new antifreeze on both the port and starboard keel coolers.

f) Propellers and Shafts

i. Contractor shall remove port and starboard propellers, have them re-conditioned to ISO 484 standards and provide balancing documentation.

ii. The government will inspect the shafts. If the shafts are determined not to be true, the contractor shall have them removed, straightened, provide documentation and have them reinstalled.

iii. Once the government has determined the shafts are straight (in existing condition or reconditioned), the contractor shall reinstall the propellers.

g) Contractor shall Farrow blast the entire hull to primer.

h) Upon additional request and negotiated price, the contractor shall apply bottom paint to the hull of the watercraft.

i) Government employees require access to the vessel with a vehicle/trailer in close proximity (25 ft) to conduct necessary repairs/work during the hours of 0730 to 1700 week days.

j) Contractor shall allow the government to remove/re-install: shafts, cutlass bearings, zincs, shaft logs, inspect hull, conduct preservation on or in main/well deck, apply bottom paint, and complete any necessary repairs while the vessel is blocked.

k) Upon additional request and negotiated price, the contractor shall remove the keel coolers, have the keel coolers pressure tested for leaks, and then reinstall the keel coolers with new gasket materials.

i. Should the keel coolers be found to be damaged, upon additional request and negotiated price, the contractor shall repair the keel coolers.

ii. Should the keel coolers be found to be damaged beyond repair, upon additional request and negotiated price, the contractor shall replace the keel coolers.

l) Government will inspect the vessel for final acceptance.

4. The Point of Contact for this request is Mr. Chris Thompson phone 466-4150 and email noel.thompson@usmc.mil.

CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.204-21 BASIC SAFEGUARDING OF COVERED CONTRACTOR INFORMATION SYSTEMS (JUN 2016)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause--

Covered contractor information system means an information system that is owned or operated by a contractor that processes, stores, or transmits Federal contract information.

Federal contract information means information, not intended for public release, that is provided by or generated for the Government under a contract to develop or deliver a product or service to the Government, but not including information provided by the Government to the public (such as on public Web sites) or simple transactional information, such as necessary to process payments.

Information means any communication or representation of knowledge such as facts, data, or opinions, in any medium or form, including textual, numerical, graphic, cartographic, narrative, or audiovisual (Committee on National Security Systems Instruction (CNSSI) 4009).

Information system means a discrete set of information resources organized for the collection, processing, maintenance, use, sharing, dissemination, or disposition of information (44 U.S.C. 3502).

Safeguarding means measures or controls that are prescribed to protect information systems.

(b) Safeguarding requirements and procedures.

(1) The Contractor shall apply the following basic safeguarding requirements and procedures to protect covered contractor information systems. Requirements and procedures for basic safeguarding of covered contractor information systems shall include, at a minimum, the following security controls:

(i) Limit information system access to authorized users, processes acting on behalf of authorized users, or devices (including other information systems).

(ii) Limit information system access to the types of transactions and functions that authorized users are permitted to execute.

(iii) Verify and control/limit connections to and use of external information systems.

(iv) Control information posted or processed on publicly accessible information systems.

(v) Identify information system users, processes acting on behalf of users, or devices.

(vi) Authenticate (or verify) the identities of those users, processes, or devices, as a prerequisite to allowing access to organizational information systems.

(vii) Sanitize or destroy information system media containing Federal Contract Information before disposal or release for reuse.

(viii) Limit physical access to organizational information systems, equipment, and the respective operating environments to authorized individuals.

(ix) Escort visitors and monitor visitor activity; maintain audit logs of physical access; and control and manage physical access devices.

(x) Monitor, control, and protect organizational communications (i.e., information transmitted or received by organizational information systems) at the external boundaries and key internal boundaries of the information systems.

(xi) Implement subnetworks for publicly accessible system components that are physically or logically separated from internal networks.

(xii) Identify, report, and correct information and information system flaws in a timely manner.

(xiii) Provide protection from malicious code at appropriate locations within organizational information systems.

(xiv) Update malicious code protection mechanisms when new releases are available.

(xv) Perform periodic scans of the information system and real-time scans of files from external sources as files are downloaded, opened, or executed.

(2) Other requirements. This clause does not relieve the Contractor of any other specific safeguarding requirements specified by Federal agencies and departments relating to covered contractor information systems generally or other Federal safeguarding requirements for controlled unclassified information (CUI) as established by Executive Order 13556.

(c) Subcontracts.

(2) [ ___ ] Have, [ ___ ] have not, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against them for: commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a Federal, state or local government contract or subcontract; violation of Federal or state antitrust statutes relating to the submission of offers; or commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, making false statements, tax evasion, violating Federal criminal tax laws, or receiving stolen property; and

(i) Taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply:

(A) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it has been assessed. A liability is not finally determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted.

(B) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded.

(ii) Examples.

(A) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. §6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appear rights.

(B) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under I.R.C. §6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals Contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.

(C) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. §6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment.

(D) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is not delinquent because enforced collection action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. §362 (the Bankruptcy Code).
