1.4 Background

Information

Guam is presently an Unincorporated Territory of the United States. Since July 1950, Guam was granted the right of civilian rule through the Organic Act of Guam. Within a period of 50 years, Guam has much to be proud of in terms of their political, economic, and social development. Guam, in comparison to most Pacific Islands, is one of the most progressive and advanced communities in this part of the world. There are three branches of government: the executive, legislative, and judicial. In 1970, Guam voters elected their first Governor. The legislative branch is unicameral with 15 elected senators. There is also one nonvoting representative in the U. S. House of Representatives.

Joint Region Marianas is a major shore activity in a fully operational status headed by a Rear Admiral. The Naval Facilities Engineering Command Marianas (NAVFACMAR) provides public works services to customers on Guam.

Guam, the largest and southernmost island of the Marianas archipelago, is the westernmost possession of the United States. The island is approximately 6,000 miles west of San Francisco, 3,700 miles west-southwest of Honolulu, 1,500 miles southeast of Tokyo, 2,100 miles southwest of Hong Kong, 1,500 miles east of Manila; and 3,100 miles northwest of Sydney at 13 degrees’ north latitude and 144 degrees’ west longitude. The Marianas Trench, the deepest known ocean depth, is located southeast of Guam.

The island of Guam is approximately 30 miles in length with a variable width, ranging from 12 miles to 4 miles at its narrowest point. Approximately 212 square miles, excluding reef formations, the island has two basic geological compositions. The central and northern features are primarily raised limestone with several volcanic formations at Mount Santa Rosa and Mount Mataguak.

The northern cliff lines drop precipitously into the sea with an elevation ranging from 300 to 600 feet. The southern features are basically volcanic with an elongated mountain ridge dividing the inland valleys and coastline. The highest point is Mount LamLam with an elevation of 1,334 feet.

1.5 Verification of

Workload and Conditions

Throughout the PWS, the workload data is generally referred to as being located in Sections C and J. Section C provides data such as descriptions, specifications, and the statement of work. Section J provides data such as system descriptions, inventories, maps, floor plans, and tables to represent the type, quantity, and location of services to be provided.

As prescribed in FAR 52.237-1, offerors or quoters are urged and expected to inspect the site where services are to be performed and to satisfy themselves regarding all general and local conditions that may affect the cost of contract performance, to the extent that the information is reasonably obtainable. In no event shall failure to inspect the site constitute grounds for a claim after contract award.

1.6 Climate Patterns Guam's climate is pleasantly warm year-round. The mean annual temperature is 81 degrees; the range is from the low 70s to the mid-80s. The coolest and least humid months are in December through February. The annual rainfall totals 80 to 110 inches. There are two seasons, the dry and the rainy. The dry season, "fanumnangan," begins in December through June. The rainy season, "fanuchanan," falls within the remaining months.

Typhoons, the most intense tropical cyclones observed anywhere, form over the open ocean areas of the Western Pacific. Generally, most of these tropical cyclones are in their formative stages while near Guam. Located in the middle of "Typhoon Alley," Guam usually averages four to five storm threats each year. On average, Guam is affected by a tropical cyclone with 40-mile-per-hour winds or higher every season. About every 5 to 10 years, Guam gets hit directly by a super-typhoon. However, the ever-changing patterns can bring a strong typhoon any year. Daily weather forecasts are available at the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Weather Service Forecast Office at http://www.prh.noaa.gov/guam/.

Earthquakes also occur frequently near Guam and can cause damage to property. Guam is located in Seismic Zone 4.

1.7 Related Information There are four types of Related Information that can be found in the Description and Related Information columns of the specification as follows:

Informational Notes as used throughout this PWS provides additional information to offerors to be used in developing a thorough understanding of the work to be performed in this contract. Any block of text marked “Informational Notes” throughout Annexes 1 through 18 is subject to this disclaimer. Offerors may not rely upon the "Informational Notes" as material representations of the Government. Information provided in "Informational Notes" does not create a contractual requirement on either party to this contract.

Clarifying Information describes client expectations in a more detailed manner than the Performance Objective and Performance standard alone.

Constraining Information describes limitations to the work performed to meet the Performance Objective and Performance Standard.

Requirement Information further describes client requirements associated with each Performance Objective.

1.8 Navy Approach to

Service Contracting The Department of Navy (DoN) spends over $1 billion in annual obligations to meet global requirements for facility operations and maintenance provided through Facility Support Contracts (FSC) and additional billions to provide other base operations support services (OBOS). The Head of the Contracting Activity (HCA) of the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) has focused increased attention on re-engineering FSC contracts in response to customer and industry feedback, budget constraints, and the impact of a variety of contracting, program management and financial management regulations.

The Navy also supports the following principles:

1.8.1 Partnering

Philosophy

The first principle is that the Navy views its contractors as partners and not just abstract service providers. The Navy wants its contractors to succeed because partners' success drives the Navy's successful mission completion. Within the bounds of acquisition policy the Navy intends to work to find solutions that will be beneficial to both the Government and its partners.

1.8.2 Contractor's

Knowledge

The second principle is that the Navy will receive insightful management from its contractors. This management will include the knowledge, skills, authority and willingness to use contractor resources to find better ways of serving Navy clients’ strategic and operational goals and objectives. The Navy's use of performance-based objectives evidences this principle. Although performance work statements will typically contain several levels of performance assessment, the Navy wants its contractors to exercise maximum discretion within bounds of prudent risk management to adjust processes and resources needed to reach specified objectives at the highest performance level.

1.8.3 Industry Best

Practices

The third principle is that the Navy will adopt industry best commercial practices and maintain state-of-the-art service delivery. To that end, the Navy's emphasis will be in evaluating performance objectives (end results).

1.9 Standard Template Key to implementing a programmatic approach is using a standard template that ensures Navy-wide consistency yet affords appropriate tailoring to meet local needs. This contract conforms to the standard template and has been tailored for this solicitation. NAVFAC intends to use this template-based approach for future service contracts. Offerors should develop an understanding of the template as part of performing due diligence in reaching an understanding of the Navy’s requirements and expectations.

The standard template contains 18 standard annexes. Annex 1 will always contain information that is relevant to the entire scope of the contract. Annex 2 contains on-site project management and administration requirements that are relevant to the entire scope of the contract. Annexes 3 through 18 contain the technical information and requirements peculiar to that technical annex. Within each technical annex, the organization of information and requirements are also standardized. Specification Item 1 will always contain General Information.

Specification Item 2 will always contain the management and administrative requirements. Specification Item 3 will always contain the Recurring Work requirements. Requirements and standards for higher level specification items apply to all subordinate specification items, e.g., Specification Item 3 standards apply to all recurring work specification items. Specification Item 3.1 is applicable to all 3.1 subordinate specification items. Specification Items 3.2 and 3.3 are not considered subordinate to 3.1. All costs associated with Annexes 1 and 2 and Specification Items 1 and 2 must be priced and their price must be allocated across the Exhibit Line Items.

1.10 Navy PBSA

Approach The Navy’s approach to performance-based service acquisition (PBSA) includes four component parts which are 1) performance outcomes, 2) measurable standards, 3) consideration of incentives, and 4) performance assessment plan.

1.11 Technical Proposal

Certification

The Contractor warrants that its proposal incorporated herein by reference will meet or exceed the performance objectives set forth in this contract.
