(3) The NSA will develop work specifications which become the guidelines and include all work that will be completed by the Contractor during Availability, including CNO/ SRA, CMAV, CM, and EM. When tasked in the delivery order, Contractor will be required to perform ship checks, in order to: prepare a more thorough and accurate understanding of the work specification, conduct assessments, and prepare work strategies.

(i) The Contractor is required to utilize the Navy Maintenance Database (NMD) software program for both planning and execution of Availabilities. The work specifications will be written by the NSA in the planning module of NMD. The specification is developed from an Automated Work Request (AWR) that is “uplined” into the NMD Planning Module. These give the timelines required to ensure all planning is completed prior to the start of the Availability.

(ii) Work specifications will be prepared in accordance with Appendix 4-E of the Joint Fleet Maintenance Manual (JFMM) Volume 7, Chapter 4 and using the NAVSEA Standard Items, Standard Work Templates (SWT) and Local Standard Items (LSI) in effect on the date of specification submission.

(iii) Work specifications and detailed cost estimates to the paragraph and trade level shall be prepared and stored in NMD. Planning products shall be in the 4-E spec format. All planning documents developed by the Contractor, become the property of the U.S. Government and may be reused by other U.S. Government activities.

(iv) Work Item Specifications and other work products shall be completely and thoroughly checked and reviewed by the contractor to ensure technical and quality understanding and when necessary, questions are addressed to the NSA in NMD using Planning Condition Found Reports. When corrections are required during the planning phase, the changes will be made by the NSA and returned to the contractor and shall be reviewed and approved by the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) or designated Technical Authority (TA) prior to acceptance.

(4) It is the responsibility of the Contractor to store /warehouse materials they provide under each individual delivery order and to plan and schedule for receipt, storage and installation of the Contractor Furnished Material (CFM) identified in the work specifications or by the U.S. Government.

(5) During planning of the scheduled availabilities, the Contractor is required to identify materials that have long lead times. Contractor must notify the NSA of these items early enough for the delivery order to be modified to allow the Contractor to procure this material.

(6) The contractor shall prepare Process Controlled Procedures (PCP) for work on critical systems and/or equipment identified by NAVSEA instruction 5400.108. PCP’s shall be prepared and executed in accordance with the related Local Standard Item (LSI) which is located within NMD.

(c) A first time award Contractor may be required to participate in a mock availability to be conducted prior to the first CNO availability. Specific tasking will be provided at the Delivery Order level, as applicable. Anticipated participants will include the contractor, U.S. government maintenance detachment personnel, and a third party planning contractor. The goal of the mock availability is to exercise all availability planning and execution processes, procedures, data systems, communication protocols, and other elements as practical and defined by the government.

(1) Processes and elements to be tested may include, but are not limited to: Work specifications and cost estimates to include specifications provided by a third party planning contractor, material procurement and validation, Condition Found Reports (CFRs), Requests for Contract Change (RCC), Checkpoints, work completion certification, Expanded Process Control Procedures (EPCP), schedule integration and management, standard reports, and overall project management.

SECTION 22 Availability Execution

(a) After the Availability commences and the Execution phase begins, the Contractor is required to administer the availability in the Execution module of the Navy Maintenance Database (NMD). The contractor can utilize other resources as he determines to manage availability but as a minimum, the CFRs, RCC, Checkpoints, (inspections) and contractor estimates will all be entered into NMD.

(b) Production schedules developed during the planning phase are required to be maintained and updated during the Execution period. The contractor is required to develop and utilize a progress measurement system to determine the physical progress to the Work Specification level. The system shall permit a direct comparison of the physical progress of completed work to the integrated milestone plan that is to be developed during the Planning phase. Detailed requirements for the Progress Measurement System can be found in NAVSEA Standard Item (NSI) 009-60 Schedule and Associated Reports for Availabilities Over Nine (9) Weeks in Duration; provide and manage.

(c) Apply stringent change control procedures to ensure timely identification and incorporation of growth work and new work.

(1) GROWTH WORK - Growth is defined as any additional work that is identified and authorized after delivery order award that is RELATED to an existing delivery order work item. The anticipated amount of growth work will be based upon the contractor’s assessment of growth potential for the individual work items in the specification package along with the proposal for the work package through the end of each availability. When deemed necessary, the NSA will prepare growth work specifications in accordance with the Joint Fleet Maintenance Manual (JFMM) 4-E Format. The allocation of growth work shall be per existing proposed work package. Each package shall include work operations, trade skills involved, material requirements, estimated man-hours by trades and schedule of which work is to be completed. The NSA will review each proposed work package when submitted. Once authorization is granted, the Contractor shall update his manning and production analysis.

(2) NEW WORK - New Work is defined as any additional work that is identified or authorized after delivery order award that is NOT RELATED to an existing work item included in the requisite delivery order. All new work specifications will be written by the NSA. Upon receipt of a new work specification, the Contractor shall propose a change in the estimated price and impact to schedule for that work to be incorporated via delivery order modification. The NSA will review and approve each work specification. Once authorization is granted by the Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO), the Contractor shall update his manning and production analysis in the Navy Maintenance Database (NMD).

(3) CONDITION FOUND REPORT (CFR)

(i) The Contractor will identify needed repairs and recommend corrective action during contract performance for those deficiencies discovered which are not covered by the work specifications. As found conditions, needed repairs and contractor recommendations will be submitted to the U.S. Government in NMD in the form of a Condition Found Report (CFR). CFR will require a class "F" estimate (+ - 40%) identifying any potential impact which may affect the current schedule.

(ii) All CFR's, cost estimates and supporting data will be submitted via electronic means, into NMD, within three (3) working days of identification of the requirement. As a minimum, the CFR will include the following:

(1) Identify contract number, Delivery Order Number, ship and hull number

(2) Serialized by CFR number

(3) Identification of the applicable Work Item number

(4) Date requirement was discovered

(5) Description of the work requirement

(6) Specific location of the work

(7) Recommendation for corrective action

(8) Recommendation for the appropriate/best time to accomplish the work (i.e. during current availability with or without schedule change, future CNO or Continuous Maintenance Availability.) Provide supporting rationale for the recommendation, such as cost efficiencies, availability of work force, availability of material, premium expenditures, etc.

(9) Identification of related changes, if any, to the internal milestones and production and contract completion dates. If none, so state.

(10) The U.S. Government Maintenance Team (MT) reviews the CFR with the requirement (deficiency), recommendation for corrective action and estimate for correctness. The U.S. Government determines if the work is required and funding is available. If the CFR is inadequate or incomplete, it is not automatically rejected back to the Contractor. In many cases, the U.S. Government and Contractor will need to meet, discuss the recommendation for corrective action, make ship checks to determine full scope of work and evaluate costs prior to final approval of the CFR.

(11) When determined by the MT that the work detailed on the CFR is required the CFR is answered to notify the Contractor stating “issue RCC” in NMD. The NSA will write the Request for Contract Change (RCC). RCCs are typically entered in the NMD Execution module no later than five (5) working days from receipt of the CFR.

(4) REQUEST CONTRACT CHANGE (RCC)

(i) In concert with the “approved” CFR, an RCC is generated to modify the specification item and accomplish the scope of work as designated by the U.S. Government. The RCC will be written by the U.S. Government. When tasked in the delivery order, the Contractor will develop the RCC estimate in based upon the scope of work agreed to on the “approved” CFR. The growth RCC will be generated under the parent item under which the work is being accomplished. Within three (3) working days from receipt of an RCC, Contractor will develop modifications to the work specification, sequentially numbered, and submit with the man-hour and material estimate. RCC's will only be generated by the NSA and indicated in the delivery order.

(ii) The contractor shall develop a time and cost estimate for the additional or reduced work scope provided on the RCC.
