STATEMENT OF WORK

STATEMENT OF WORK

Naval Research & Development Establishment (NRDE) Support Office Job Order Contract (JOC) for Locations: Naval Air Station (NAS) Patuxent River, Naval Support Facility (NSF) Dahlgren & NSF Indian Head

1. Purpose: The purpose of this Civil JOC is to provide commercial, industrial and institutional construction services with minimal design information (i.e. work plans) for new construction, repairs, rehabilitation, renovation and alterations for a broad range of facilities.

This JOC is intended to provide rapid response in a cost effective manner at select Government installations around the National Capital Region. Each Task Order issued under this contract will have specific information such as guide specifications, criteria, and scope.

Design-Build is not allowed on this contract. Task Orders for design only shall not be placed against the contract. However, minimal design services (i.e. work plans, shop drawings) related to construction may be required. Firm-fixed-price Task Orders for construction will be placed against the contract. The successful Offeror must be able perform multiple Task Orders in multiple locations simultaneously. Work locations include:

• NAS Patuxent River

• NSF Dahlgren

• NSF Indian Head

• NSA U.S. Naval Academy

This contract will be used as one of many tools for a contracting method available to the Government for the types of construction services as referenced above that may be required by the agency. All Task Orders issued under this contract will be reviewed and deemed appropriate for this acquisition method.

2. Description: The contractor shall provide, upon receipt of a task order, all labor, materials, supplies, parts (to include system components), plant, supervision, tools, transportation, equipment, and related services, (except when specified as Government furnished), for projects including, but not limited to, alterations, repairs, and construction of heavy and civil engineering construction projects (excluding highway, street, bridge, distribution line, oil and gas structure, and utilities building and structure construction). Construction projects involving water resources (e.g., dredging and land drainage), development of marine facilities, and projects involving open space improvement (e.g., parks and trails) are included. Work shall be performed in strict accordance with all terms, conditions, special contract requirements, specifications, drawings, attachments, and exhibits contained in the RFP for the Task Order or incorporated by reference.

Work and responsibility shall include all Task Order planning, scoping meetings, programming, administration, and management necessary to provide support for Task Orders awarded.

Conduct the work in strict accordance with the basic contract and all applicable Federal, State, and local laws, regulations, codes, or directives. Provide related services such as preparing and submitting required reports, perform administrative work, and submit necessary information as specified under this contract and within each Task Order. Ensure that all work provided meets the scope of work for each Task Order and any special specifications included with the individual Task Order or included in any applicable documents.

The Government will provide the scope of work, detailing the work to be accomplished.

Depending on the complexity of the project, the detail provided may vary from a general idea of what is required, with no drawings, to complete design documents. The contractor shall use the information provided by the Government and submit a complete proposal. For Task Orders where the Government provides no drawings, the contractor shall provide a work plan description in their proposal to clearly show an understanding of what work is to be included in the contract. .

Complete all work and services under this contract in accordance with schedules established in each Task Order. Submittal dates will be included in the Task Order. These dates identify when submittals are due in the issuing office and other addresses identified in the Task Order. Types and numbers of submittals and dates and places for review meetings shall be established by each Task Order.

• Contracting Officer (KO) - The official given authority to bind the Government to contracts. They have authority to enter into, administer, or terminate contracts and make related determinations and findings.

• Contractor – A corporation, partnership, joint-venture, business association, firm, individual or association that has entered into a contract with United States for the purpose of providing supplies, materials, equipment, or services.

• Incidental (work, waste, etc.) – items that are minor in nature, necessary to perform the work as described, but not of such magnitude as to require a line item in a cost proposal.

Examples include: preparation necessary to perform the work as described but that is not typically accounted for by a line item cost, waste of 15% or less on installed materials, small amounts of fasteners and fittings that are not typically tracked individually, hand tools that are not exhausted in a single use, pick up or delivery of incidental items, etc.

• Independent Review – The Government may, at its expense, obtain an independent review of the contractor’s work. The independent reviewer shall be a person or business qualified to perform the work the Contractor is performing.

7. Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO): Provide an SSHO that meets the requirements of EM 385-1-1 Section 1. The SSHO must ensure that the requirements of 29 CFR 1926.16 are met for the project. Provide a Safety oversight team that includes a minimum of one person at each project site to function as the SSHO. The SSHO or an equally-qualified Alternate SSHO must be at the work site at all times to implement and administer the Contractor's safety program and Government-accepted Accident Prevention Plan. The SSHO and Alternate SSHO must have the required training, experience, and qualifications in accordance with EM 385-1-1 Section 01.A.17, and all associated sub-paragraphs.

9. Minimum Supervision / Additional Oversight Directed by the Government: The Government recognizes that in order for the Contractor to most efficiently manage Task Orders, the Contractor will typically request to provide the minimum amount of supervision required. Depending on the complexity/location/value/volume of the Task Order(s), and/or the existing workload of the contractor’s staff, the Government will decide at the time of Task Order negotiations on the appropriate supervision for a specific Task Order. The Government may allow for a single individual to perform multiple roles (superintendent, SSHO, QC) on multiple Task Orders at multiple sites. A single individual will not be allowed to perform an unreasonable number of roles at multiple sites and/or for multiple Task Orders. Alternatively, the Government may require additional oversight (distinct individuals performing distinct roles) on a specific Task Order. The costs for SSHO, QCM, and Superintendent shall be included in the Contractor's proposal and negotiated for each Task Order.

10. Codes And Standards: The current DOD Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS) consisting of Divisions 02 through 48 of specifications in the Construction Specifications Institute’s (CSI) Master format are incorporated by reference into this solicitation. The intent of these specifications is to furnish industrial and/or commercial standards for design, construction, alteration, maintenance and repair of Government facilities.
