PERFOMANCE WORK STATEMENT

SECTION C - DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION SAFETY STANDARDS COURSE

CONSTRUCTION SAFETY STANDARDS (A-493-0021)

In the Five (5) Year Ordering Period, it is estimated that two (2) courses may be needed in each year with a maximum of five (5) courses per year. Quantities may fluctuate from year to year depending on the anticipated student demand for this training and available funding. Training schedules are planned on a year to year basis and the contractor will be notified at least sixty (60) days prior to the beginning of each fiscal year as to the number and locations where the training will be held. Classes may be held, for example, in the following locations:

*NOTE: CERTAIN INSTANCES MAY REQUIRE COURSES TO BE HELD USING A VIRTUAL/ONLINE

DELIVERY PLATFORM DETERMINED BY THE COR or Naval Safety and Environmental Training Center

(NAVSAFENVTRACEN).

There is the potential for “add-on” convening’s of the class to be scheduled during the fiscal year if the need arises.

The dates for these convening’s will only be scheduled with the concurrence of the contractor with a maximum of five (5) classes per year.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION SAFETY STANDARDS COURSE

1.0 Scope of Work

The contractor shall provide services for the Naval Safety and Environmental Training Center (NAVSAFENVTRACEN), Norfolk, VA. Classes may be taught in an online format when resident classroom training is not feasible due to pandemics, natural disasters, or other emergent situations, as determined by NAVSAFENVTRACEN. These services shall provide instruction for the safety, occupational health, and

GULFPORT, MS NORFOLK, VA

PORT HUENEME, CA SAN DIEGO, CA

environmental courses described below conducted by the NAVSAFENVTRACEN and student record keeping support typical for educational programs as set forth by NAVSAFENVTRACEN.

1.1 GLOBAL ONLINE TRIAL RUN: If/when a global online course is required, the contractor shall use the NAVSAFENVTRACEN provided learning portal and virtual meeting platform. A trial run of the full final course setup shall be conducted at least seven (7) business days prior to the course start date. All Oapproved course instructors and the government course manager will participant in the trail run. The trial run must be completed using the approved course materials, approved instructors, the assigned learning portal website, and virtual meeting platform. The trial run must be an exact replica of the course as students are expected to view it.

2.0 Mission

The mission of the NAVSAFENVTRACEN is to provide quality education and training for military and civilian Navy and Marine Corps personnel, both afloat and ashore, in the areas of occupational safety, environmental protection, and emergency management leading to:

• Enhanced operational readiness

• A safe and healthful workplace

• Stewardship through compliance with applicable regulations

3.2 A demonstration is a method of instruction whereby the instructor(s) actually performs the procedures or tasks that are being reviewed.

3.3 A workshop is a method of instruction whereby the students are allowed to perform the procedures or tasks that have been demonstrated to them by the instructor(s). Workshops must be accomplished under the supervision of the instructor(s).

3.4 Training equipment is material that Safety Occupational and Health (SOH) and environmental professionals may encounter in the performance of their duties, i.e., respirators, monitoring equipment, protective clothing, etc.

3.5 Formal teaching experience is defined as time spent by an instructor in front of a classroom of students conducting training from a lesson plan. The training may take the form of lectures, oversight of students working in groups, working with students in a one-on-one basis in the resolution of academic problems, using virtual/online learning, using audiovisual hardware and software in the presentation of a topic, supervising students during field exercises, etc.

3.6 Statement of Work (SOW) is a document within a contract that describes the work requirements for a specific project along with its performance and design expectations. The main purpose of the SOW is to define the liabilities, responsibilities and work agreements between two parties, usually clients and service providers.

3.7 The Performance Work Statement (PWS) is used to summarize the work that needs to be done for a contract. A PWS usually requires a scope, applicable documents, performance requirements/tasks, and contractor quality assurance for acquisition.

4.0 Deliverable Product

4.1 The contractor shall provide training for NAVSAFENVTRACEN using both contractor-owned and provided material for resident courses. The government will provide learning materials, equipment, and the Sakai online platform which the contract must use for online courses. The contract must provide methodologies to produce a graduate that satisfies the Center's mission and the learning objectives contained in the course outline for both resident and online classes.

5.0 General Conditions

5.1 General

5.1.1 All personnel employed by the contractor entering the government-furnished facilities shall conform to all safety, security, work conditions, regulations and procedures which may be in effect during the contract period and shall be subject to such checks as may be deemed necessary to assure that no violations occur. No employee will be permitted on the government-furnished facilities when such check reveals that the employee’s presence would be detrimental to the security of the facilities or accomplishment of work.

5.1.2 Contractor personnel assigned to teach a course shall have expertise in Construction Safety Standards and instructional experience. The personnel shall be familiar with all initial presentation and remediation procedures, training aids, devices and equipment associated with the course and shall be evaluated by both the contractor and government. Contractor instructors will be evaluated by government Subject Matter Expert (SME)’s and by student critiques.

5.1.3 All contractor technical instructors and technical instructor supervisors shall abide by the rules and regulations concerning the maintenance of personal standards for instructor integrity, grooming, conduct, speech, and student fraternization. The morale and motivation of student and instructional personnel must be maintained at a high level to ensure a favorable learning environment.

5.1.4 Contractors are to provide all training materials used in the course, including instructor lesson plans, student handouts, references, charts, manuals, tests, audiovisual aids, and training equipment. Contractors may prepare materials or use their already existing course materials, modified as necessary, to conduct the training in accordance with the SOW. Materials produced or used by the contractor, become property of the government and will be retained once the contract expires.

5.1.5 There is no predetermined list of training equipment, handouts, audiovisual aids, references (other than those cited in the course outline), manuals, etc., to be used in the course.

However, the use of computer-generated graphics (e. g., PowerPoint) to supplement lectures is required. The selection of these materials is at the discretion of the contractor. It is required, however, that the course will use training equipment (see definition of training equipment in paragraph 3.4), handouts (may be included as a part of the student guide/manual), and other audiovisual aids, e.g., videotapes, DVDs, etc.

5.1.6 The government will provide classroom space, with chalk/dry marker boards and standard audiovisual equipment for the course when available. For classes taught virtual/online, the government will provide the learning platform used by the Navy Safety and Environmental Training Center. For classes taught in Norfolk, the government will provide projection systems for computer-generated graphics. However, for locations other than Norfolk, the contractor is responsible to provide a projection system and computer laptop unless the course supervisor indicates that this equipment is available at that location.

5.1.7 Contractors are to include all topics/discussion points contained in the course outline.

Deviation is allowed only as indicated in paragraph 11.0(c).

5.1.8 The awarding of Continuing Education Units (CEUs) and/or CIH/CSP Certification Maintenance Points shall be the responsibility of NAVSAFENVTRACEN and not that of the contractor. However, the contractor may be requested to provide certain course data so that course certification may be obtained.

5.1.9 In all instances of disciplinary matters between contract employees and government personnel, the contractor shall prepare a written report to the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) which includes a summary of the events. A formal contractor investigation is not required.

5.1.10 The contractor shall submit to the COR a course completion report within thirty (30) days after the end of each class convening. The report shall include, as a minimum, a student roster, student grades, student test answer sheets, student data records (if necessary), student critiques, drop/failure records (if applicable), instructor comments/observations, and one copy of Student Test. The student attendance roster with grades shall be faxed or emailed to the NAVSAFENVTRACEN point of contact at the conclusion on the last day of the course.

5.1.10.1 Contractor shall ensure student data records (if necessary), attendance roster and student critiques (government provided) are completed by all students. The Contractor shall fax, mail using USPS or FedEx, and email the attendance roster to the NAVSAFENVTRACEN at the end of the last day of class.

5.1.10.2 Contractor shall complete a Drop/Failure Record (government provided) for each student who either fails or does not complete the course for other than academic reasons which shall be provided to the NAVSAFEENVTRACEN point of contact.

5.1.10.3 The course manager shal provide official NAVSAFENVTRACEN graduation certificates for the course. These certificates shall be filled out by the contractor at the end of each course and passed out to students who have successfully completed the course, if at all possible. In the event that tests cannot be graded before students are dismissed on the final day, it is the responsibility of the contractor to ensure students are notified of their test result and provided their graduation certificate as appropriate.

Course completion certificates shall be kept under careful control by the contractor and only issued directly to the student successfully completing the course. Any unused certificates may either be retained by the contractor for future classes, or properly destroyed.

5.1.11 Attendance Policy- Any student missing more than 20% of a class will fail the course and not receive a graduation certificate. The contract instructor shall contact the COR and/or course manager immediately to discuss the student’s situation. The government retains the right to make the final decision on whether or not a student will be allowed to stay for the remainder of the course.

5.1.12 Submission of Invoices- All invoices for completed course of instruction shall be submitted to the COR through the Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF) within five (5) working days after return from travel. Submitted invoices will include the fixed price cost for the convening’s taught, as well as any reimbursement for travel and per diem. See FAR clause 252.232-7006 located within this contract for more information.

5.2 Security

5.2.1 The course taught under this contract is unclassified.

5.2.2 Permits/Decals- Each contract instructor/manager shall obtain a permit/decal as required by the visited activity security office as necessary to enter the work sites.

5.2.3 Security Requirements- The contractor shall conform to all Department of Defense (DOD), Department of the Navy (DON), local security instructions and requirements as specified by the visited activity/NAVSAFENVTRACEN.

5.2.4 Physical Security/Key Control- The contractor shall conform to all current and applicable DOD, DON, and local command instructions regarding physical security and key control. The contractor shall maintain key control over assigned keys.

5.2.5 Personal Security/Anti-Terrorist- After award of the contract, the contractor shall become knowledgeable of all current DOD, DON, State Department and local command instructions pertaining to personal security and anti-terrorist issues. This will require each instructor to complete required training and forms in which include but not limited to Level One Anti-Terrorist training; Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape (SERE) 100 Code of Conduct Level B Training; Human Rights Training; Country Specific Training and Isolated Personnel Report (ISOPREP) also known as a PRO-file, including any necessary photos, within the time frames required by the guiding regulations. Training will be accomplished either on-line or through other means as arranged by the contractor and the NAVSAFENVTRACEN. The completion of such training shall be reported to the COR, or course manager. The contractor shall not receive any compensation for this training. Periodic refresher training is required.

5.3 Safety- The contractor shall conform/comply with all referenced safety instructions. Any safety related problems shall be addressed immediately to the course manager or COR.

5.4 Accident Reports- The contractor shall conduct an investigation into all accidents occurring on government property involving contract employees and report the findings in writing of such an investigation to the COR within three (3) calendar days after the occurrence. When required, the contractor shall provide input for reporting accidents involving students.

5.5 Contract Work Hours- Classes typically begin at 0800 and end at 1630 on each day with a ten (10) minute break every hour and an hour for lunch. Occasional non-standard training days may be required by emergencies, and operational commitments; therefore, in these cases, as much prior notification as possible will be provided to the contractor. However, the course is designed for whole days and should not vary substantially from this format, e.g., ending after a half-day on the last day, two (2) hour lunches or ending class two (2) hours early on days in the middle of the course. Likewise, extending past the normal ending time can only be done with the students' option since many students may have off-hour commitments.

Holidays shall be limited to those normally scheduled for the United States federal government employees.

Legal holidays for the purpose of this contract are:

New Year’s Day Labor Day Martin Luther King Day Columbus Day President’s Day Veterans Day Memorial Day Thanksgiving Day Independence Day Christmas Day Juneteenth

5.6 Travel-

5.6.1 All travel costs shall be in accordance with the Federal Travel Regulations (FTR).

Invoices shall include actual costs experienced. Airfare shall be based on the lowest available cost for coach or economy in writing, in advance. In the event that the allowable per diem limits for an area must be exceeded (i.e., lodging), the contractor must receive approval from the Contracting Officer and the COR prior to travel. The Contractor is not authorized to perform any travel that is not in conjunction with this contract. It is the DON policy not to allow a charge of profit or fee on reimbursable items. The Government will make no reimbursements for a contractor’s local travel.

In no instance shall the contractor exceed the amount specified in the contract for travel expenses.

The cost of travel documents such as passports and visas will not be reimbursed.

5.7 Dress Requirement

5.7.1 The contractor shall ensure that all instructors and supervisors maintain a standard of grooming and personal appearance that reflects a high degree of pride in themselves and in their employees, and in keeping with their position as a professional in a military environment. It must be recognized that this instruction is provided at a highly visible Naval activity and is very much in the “public eye”. As such, it is imperative that extraordinary standards of dress and grooming be observed.

5.7.2 Hair should be neat, clean, and present a well-groomed appearance. A sport shirt, slacks and hard soled shoes, at a minimum, are required for male instructors; female instructors shall dress appropriately. Soft-soled shoes (tennis, gym or jogging) are not appropriate. “T-shirts” worn as pictures are not allowed. Blue jeans or denim trousers are not allowed.

5.8 Academic Standards- In cases of student academic problems, the contractor is expected to provide counseling and remediation. The contractor shall notify the COR or course manager immediately of any student having academic problems. The government reserves the right to make any decision concerning termination or extension of training for the student with academic problems.

5.9 Inability of Contractor to Perform- In the event that an instructor is unable to teach a class due to illness, injury or death, the contractor must have a Contract Process (CP) in place to replace that instructor within twenty-four (24) hours at their own expense. In addition, the government reserves the right to request that an instructor be replaced due to poor performance. The CP must also address the manner in which this instructor will be replaced. Such plans must be included in Phase II, Part I (Written Proposal) and may be reviewed by the COR at any time after award.

5.10 Poor Performance- The following elements, which comprise examples of poor instructor

a. performance, can ultimately result in the removal of the instructor if these actions remain unabated:

- b. regularly late for class

- c. poorly prepared to teach (which frequently results in the instructor reading PowerPoint slides, or notes to the students)

- d. disorganized, resulting in poor time management, student confusion, and/or jumping from topic to topic and not following the syllabus knowledge)

- e. regularly unable to answer students’ questions (most likely due to lack of knowledge, lack of preparation)

- f. regularly refusing to answer students’ questions (either due to lack of knowledge, lack of preparation, agenda anxiety, lack of respect of students)

- g. regularly dismissing class early (more than an hour before dismissal time)

- h. failure to remediate

- i. failure to keep course materials up-to-date

- j. routinely unwilling to remediate

- k. routinely having to remediate more than 10% of the class

- l. inappropriate language (vulgar, sexist, racist, or language that shows disrespect for the students, the Navy, their instructions, policies, or a specific organization)

- m. inappropriate visual aids (sexist or racist PowerPoint slides)

- n. either unwilling or incapable of ascertaining the level of the class’s knowledge and teaching at that level

- o. routinely unwilling, or incapable of, controlling the discipline of the class (e.g., allowing disruptive side conversations to occur during the instructor’s presentation of the course material, allowing students to show up late thereby disrupting the class)

6.0 Student/Instructor Ratios: Student Loading

6.1 Student/instructor ratios must be such that there is an adequate number of instructors at all times to ensure effective coverage of the entire course, student remediation during class hours, and student supervision and safety. NAVSAFENVTRACEN will reimburse the travel and per diem expenses for one

(1) instructor to teach this course.

6.2 The maximum class size of Construction Safety Standards is thirty-five (35). The minimum class size is fifteen (15). While it is considered extremely unlikely that this will occur due to the high demand for this training, the government reserves the right to cancel a convening with fewer than fifteen (15) students at no cost/penalty to the government. The contractor will be notified no later than twenty-one (21) days prior to the first day of the class, if the minimum class size is not met.

6.3 The government reserves the right to exceed the class size on a case-by-case, limited basis at no extra cost to the government if agreed to in advance by the COR and the contractor.

7.0 Qualifications

C.1.6.2 The contractor is responsible for providing a student guide/manual at the beginning of the course for the student to use and keep. A course syllabus and a copy of all computer- generated slides with note-taking space used in the presentation of the course is required. The instructor shall organize the manual so that the copies of the computer-generated slides follow the order of presentation of the material. Any other material to be included in the manual is up to the discretion of the contractor but must be supportive of the learning objectives and the course outline. The contractor is required to provide each student a hard copy of the following for their retention: 29 CFR 1926 OPNAV M-5100.23(Series)

C.1.6.3 In the Electrical Safety workshop, the instructor is required to display a mixture of pictures (e.g., PowerPoint slides) as well as “hands on” electrical test equipment. An explanation of how each piece of equipment is used is required. Students shall be encouraged to actually use the “hands on” equipment under the supervision of the instructor. The manner of conducting the workshop, by breaking the class into groups or keeping the class together as one group, is up to the discretion of the instructor.

C.1.6.4 In the Hand and Powered Tools workshop, the instructor is required to display various portable hand and powered tools used on a typical construction site. The display can be done through a combination of pictures and actual tools and should show the students faulty as well as proper tools. Students should be given the opportunity to inspect the actual tools under the supervision of the instructor. The manner of conducting the workshop, in groups or with the class as a whole, is up to the discretion of the instructor.

C.1.6.5 In the Material Handling workshop, students shall be shown various types of proper and defective material handling equipment. The display can be done through a combination of pictures and actual equipment (e.g., different types of wire rope, defects in wire rope, rigging, etc.). The manner of conducting the workshop, in groups or with the class as a whole, is up to the discretion of the instructor.

C.1.6.6 In the Weight Handling workshop, students shall be given a scenario involving material of a certain weight to be hoisted by a designated piece of equipment.

The manner of conducting the workshop, in groups or with the class as a whole, is up to the discretion of the instructor.

C.1.6.8 In the optional Field Exercise, the instructor may take the class as a whole to an actual construction site and perform an inspection. It is understood that weather condition may hamper, or even prevent, the opportunity to conduct the field exercise. It is also understood that the logistics in arranging a field exercise may be difficult and may prevent the occurrence of the field exercise. However, the course manager, points of contact at the class locations, and, sometimes, even a student in the class, are available to assist the instructor in arranging a trip to a construction site. But, the organization of a field exercise shall ultimately be the responsibility of the instructor. The instructor shall ensure that the inspection does not interfere with the work that is ongoing at the site. In addition, the instructor is required to inform the students that the inspection is for instructional purposes only and any deficiencies noted will be given to the instructor who may, in turn, give them to the construction job site supervisor, as a courtesy inspection. In the event that a field exercise cannot be arranged, the instructor is required to fill that time with other lesson topics and/or learning exercises.

C.1.6.9 Shipping of all class material to each location is the responsibility of the contractor. Unit price shall encompass any shipping charges.
