About this file
This is a Performance Work Statement (PWS) for natural gas utility services at a federal facility operated by the Naval Station Norfolk Area (NSAA).
The contractor is required to provide comprehensive natural gas utility services including operation, maintenance, and repair of the natural gas distribution system. Key personnel requirements mandate that all staff maintaining and repairing natural gas distribution systems must be certified Gas Fitters licensed by the state of Maryland and qualified as Journeyman Plumbers. The contractor must maintain 24/7 operations with qualified personnel to ensure safe, reliable, and efficient distribution of natural gas throughout the year. Critical responsibilities include developing and implementing an Integrated Maintenance Program (IMP) covering all equipment and system components, maintaining current AutoCAD drawings, developing a Critical Spare Parts Inventory, and submitting daily operational status reports by 0700 hours to the Contracting Officer's Representative. The contractor holds full responsibility for individual repairs up to $5,000 in direct material and labor costs; repairs exceeding this threshold may be ordered as non-recurring work. Performance standards require natural gas pressure and demand to be met 99.9 percent of the time annually, with response to identified problems within one hour and repair completion within two days. The contractor must also develop Standard Operating Procedures in Microsoft Word format for approval within 30 days of contract start, maintain all IMP work tracking in NAVFAC Maximo, and notify government personnel immediately (verbally, not via email or voicemail) of any unsafe conditions discovered during operations.
