PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Heavy Equipment Leasing Performance Work Statement

1.0 Background – This is a Firm Fixed-Price Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract for one base year and four one year option periods to provide short-term off-road heavy construction equipment leasing services for the United States Marine Corps (USMC) Southwest Regional Fleet Transportation (SWRFT) department. These services are required at Marine Corps Base (MCB) Camp Pendleton, California; Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Miramar, California; and Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MCRD) San Diego, California.

2.0 Scope – The services set forth in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) will provide SWRFT with the capability to lease heavy construction equipment on a short-term basis when internal capacity cannot support the installation’s requirements. This equipment will be utilized by USMC personnel to maintain roads, firebreaks, buildings, ranges, landfill, and other extraneous locations when the need for such equipment exceeds the internal capacity available. This contract is for the temporary lease of the listed vehicles without operators. The Government’s obligation under this contract applies only to the lease of heavy construction equipment, and the Government is not precluded from the use of Government owned equipment. The period of each individual lease shall be on a weekly or monthly basis, but no longer than 180 days. The contractor shall provide all of the parts and labor necessary to maintain the Contractor’s equipment in a serviceable and operational condition in accordance with the manufacturer’s service requirements and current industry standards, except for daily/weekly operator maintenance, excluding parts. All parts, supplies, labor, and transportation required to properly service the Contractor’s leased equipment, to include inspections, minor/major repairs, and preventative/remedial maintenance on the Contractor’s equipment, shall be supplied by the Contractor at no additional cost to the Government.

3.0 General Tasks

3.1 General – The Contractor shall provide the equipment specified in each task order. The Contracting Officer, at their sole discretion, will determine whether equipment is “similar” within the requirement of the Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) to be a model number “or similar” and such determination shall not be the basis for claim or request for equitable adjustment. The Government will not pay transportation costs if equipment is rejected because it is not the item ordered, or it is not in proper working condition upon delivery.

3.1.1 The Contractor shall deliver the equipment to the Government worksite on or before the requested date, or shall have five (5) working days after receipt of an immediate delivery task order to deliver the equipment to the Government worksite.

3.1.2 The fuel tank for each piece of equipment shall be full upon delivery and will be filled prior to the return by the Government.

3.1.3 The responsibility for lease payment shall be determined in accordance with the clause at Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) 52.208-4 for all equipment subject to this contract. Lease prices shall be quoted on a monthly basis, and any delivery order that contains a fraction of a month shall be prorated at 1/30 the monthly price per day. Adjustment to lease payments will not be made unless the equipment is unavailable or unusable for 24 hours or longer.

3.1.4 All delivery orders will be for a minimum of one week (seven calendar days), and a maximum of no more than 180 days. A monthly lease is defined as thirty calendar days, and all periods of performance will utilize a prorated price based on the quoted monthly rate.

3.2 Required Equipment - The following list is the heavy equipment that is needed:

3.3 Over and Above Equipment Procedures - The Contracting Officer is the only person(s) with authority to authorize the Contractor to provide equipment beyond the items listed. In the event that an attachment, accessory, or ancillary piece of equipment is needed to complete a project, the Contracting Officer will determine whether the over and above equipment falls within the scope of the contract. Once that determination has been made, the Contractor will provide a quote for the equipment needed. The Contracting Officer will determine whether the price is fair and reasonable prior to awarding a delivery order containing over and above equipment.

3.4 Maintenance: Except for daily/weekly operator checks and services, the Contractor shall provide all labor and parts necessary to maintain the Contractor’s equipment in a satisfactory condition in accordance with the manufacturer’s published specifications and current industry standards. All parts, supplies, labor, and transportation required to perform service inspections and maintenance on the Contractor’s equipment shall be supplied by the Contractor at no additional cost to the Government.

3.4.1 No scheduled or preventative maintenance shall be performed while the equipment is in the possession of the Government. The contractor shall perform scheduled or preventative maintenance before delivering the equipment to the Government or after retrieving the equipment from the Government.

3.4.2 The Contractor shall perform all repairs to the equipment leased under this contract. In the event that a repair is needed during a delivery order’s period of performance, the contracting officer shall determine whether the equipment will be repaired or whether the equipment will be replaced. If the equipment is to be replaced, the contractor shall bear all costs associated with replacing the equipment. The contractor shall have twenty-four (24) hours to replace the removed piece of equipment with a substitute piece of equipment.

3.4.3 Equipment that requires multiple remedial repairs that are not due to Government neglect or abuse shall be cause for the Government to require replacement of the equipment. For purposes of this paragraph, multiple means more than twice in a one month period.

3.4.4 If the Government requires a replacement piece of equipment due to multiple remedial repairs, the contractor shall have twenty-four (24) hours from the time the equipment replacement determination is made to replace that piece of equipment with one of equal capabilities. The contractor shall bear all costs associated with replacing or “swapping out” pieces of equipment.

3.4.5 After performing maintenance, the Contractor’s clean-up process shall be accomplished in accordance with applicable Federal, State, and local laws and regulations, to include applicable installation regulations. The Contractor shall also clean the immediate work area and remove all debris generated by the Contractor in performance of these maintenance services. The Contractor shall remove and dispose of all fluids, oils, and related hazardous or environmentally sensitive items (i.e. used oil, oil filters, etc.), in accordance with all applicable Federal, State, and local laws and regulations. All spills shall be cleaned by the Contractor and immediately reported to the COR.

3.4.6 The Contractor shall furnish one (1) complete set of operator manuals for each piece of equipment provided, upon delivery of equipment. These will be returned to the Contractor upon completion of the task order.

4.0 Government Responsibilities:

4.1 The Government shall be responsible for performing operator daily/weekly checks and services. Daily/Weekly operator checks and services shall include, but are not limited to, checking oil levels, checking fluid levels, lubing grease fittings, checking tire pressure, and checking track tension.

The Government will operate the equipment in accordance with the manufacturer’s operating instructions. The Government will notify the contractor of any malfunctions identified. The Government will provide all fuel necessary to operate the equipment.

4.3 The Government will ensure the fuel tank for each piece of equipment is full upon Contractor pickup.

4.4 Responsibility for loss of, or damage to, equipment leased under this contract shall be subject to the provisions set forth at clause FAR 52.228-8, notwithstanding whether the equipment is otherwise classified as a motor vehicle.

4.5 The clause FAR 52.228-8 – Liability and Insurance – Leased Motor Vehicles addresses the Government’s responsibility for loss of or damage to leased equipment, as well as the Contractor’s insurance requirements for aforementioned vehicles.

Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.
