APPENDIX C – Building Maintenance

DEFINITIONS

A. Service calls Service calls are defined as maintenance, repair, minor construction and/or other miscellaneous work requirements. which are submitted by building occupants, are brief in scope; require not more than 39 hours estimated total labor hours for accomplishment; require not more than $3,000 in total direct material costs, to include parts or entire unit replacement; and do not reasonably require detailed job planning. Multiple maintenance, repair, and minor construction requirements received for the same trade in the same building or structure at the same time will be combined into one service call. However, not more than 5 such requirements will be included on any one service call. A log is to be maintained of all calls received; a description of the problem or requested work, date and time received, classification, facility number/name, and caller's name/telephone number shall be recorded for each call.

(1) During Regular Working Hours. The contractor shall receive service call requests during regular working hours and classify each call in accordance with the definitions provided below. A description of the problem or requested work, date and time received, location, and other appropriate information shall be recorded. Service call work authorization must be received by the COR prior to serviced such request.. If the call is classified as emergency, the contractor shall notify the COR by phone and verbally provide the specifics of the emergency and the COR may provide verbal authorization. Request to be documented following the receipt of verbal authorization..

(2) After Regular Working Hours. The Contractor shall receive service call requests from the site occupants and other authorized Government representatives after the Government's regular working hours, on weekends, and holidays. The Contractor shall classify such calls as emergency, urgent, or routine and shall respond accordingly.

A copy of the service call log shall be delivered to the Government's work reception center by 1100 the next regular Government working day for data entry into the automated work reception system. Service call work authorization forms will be transmitted to the Contractor. The Contracting Officer may upgrade or downgrade the classification of any service call received by the Contractor.

(3) Service Call Classification

(a) Emergency Calls. Service calls will be classified as emergency at the discretion of the KO. Generally, emergency calls consist of correcting failures that constitute an immediate danger to personnel, threaten to damage property, or threaten to disrupt site missions or operations. Examples include outages in utility systems which support mission equipment or provide other vital services, clogged drains, broken water

C-2 pipes, gas leaks, inoperable pumps, roof leaks, electrical defects which may cause fire or shock, unlocking of locks or safes, etc. Historically, no more than 5% of the service calls issued have been classified as emergency.

(b) Urgent Calls. Service calls will be classified as urgent at the discretion of the COR. Generally, urgent calls consist of providing services or correcting failures which do not immediately threaten personnel, property, or activity missions, but will soon inconvenience and/or affect the health or well being of personnel, lead to property damage, or lead to disruptions in operational or training missions. Calls will also be classified as urgent when the service or failure has upper level or command/management attention. Historically, no more than 1% of service calls issued have been classified as urgent.

(c) Routine Calls. Service calls will be classified as routine when the work does not qualify as an emergency or urgent call.

(4) Response to Service Calls. The Contractor shall have procedures for receiving and responding to emergency and urgent service within the specified response time seven days a week, including weekends and holidays. A single local or toll free telephone number shall be provided by the Contractor for receipt of all service calls. All telephone calls shall be answered within 30 seconds by an individual fully familiar with the Contractor's work control procedures.

(a) Response by Classification

(1) Emergency Calls. The Contractor shall respond immediately and must be working within 120 minutes after receipt of an emergency service call. The

Contractor shall work without interruption and shall correct, remedy, or take other action as required to contain the emergency condition before departing the job site (e.g., shut off water, close gas valve, temporarily patch roof leak, etc.) If further labor and material

(follow-up work) are required to complete the repair, the call will be reclassified as either urgent or routine, as appropriate, and the corresponding completion time will then apply.

Such follow-up work shall be considered part of the original service call.

(2) Urgent Calls. The Contractor shall be working within 1 hour after receipt of an urgent service call received during regular working hours, and within 2 hours for urgent calls received after regular working hours, on weekends, or holidays.

Once begun, the work shall be prosecuted to completion and must be completed within

8 hours.

(3) Routine Calls. All routine service calls shall be completed within

5 working days after receipt. Routine calls shall normally be accomplished during regular working hours, Monday through Friday.

C-3

(5) Beyond the Scope of Urgent Call. If the Contractor responds to an urgent service call and believes the work required is beyond the scope of a service call, as defined above, the COR must be contacted within one hour. If requested by the KO, the

Contractor shall provide a summary of the work needed and a…
