1.0 Overview

This contract provides Construction Quality Assurance (QA) and Coordination services for construction work performed by NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), Greenbelt, MD campus and Wallops Flight Facility (WFF) Wallops Island, VA. Construction categories are defined as: 1) Center-Funded (CF), 2) Construction of Facilities (CoF), and 3) Customer Funded (Cust), and will be recognized in the task scopes. Large discrete CoF projects and other projects not fitting these three categories shall be tasked separately.

The Greenbelt campus is approximately 1,100 acres with 36 major buildings, two central power plants and electrical substations, several outlying sites and numerous smaller outlying buildings, and associated infrastructure of roadways and underground utilities. It has more than 3,000,000

sq. ft of research, development and office space. GSFC/Greenbelt is unique in that these facilities provide for the construction and development of spacecraft software, scientific instruments and satellites, information processing centers for satellites, and research and development of programs pertaining to the planet. WFF is a multi-user/multi-tenant facility supporting satellite command and control, military operations, scientific investigations, technology development, and commercial aerospace. Tenant agencies include U.S. Navy, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and Virginia Commercial Space Flight Authority (VCSFA), also known as Virginia Spaceport Authority.

The QA services required under this contract include but are not limited to: quality assurance, inspection, documentation, document control, coordination of construction with Center operations and construction contractors, review of design drawings, specifications, shop submittals associated with the work, and safety monitoring.

The types of projects include but are not limited to: site work and new building construction, alterations, renovation, and repair of buildings. Types of work include but are not limited to:

underground utilities, roads and parking lots, sidewalks, office buildings and state of the art technical facilities, laboratories, clean rooms, central power plants, and high voltage substations and distribution systems. Typical building systems include: walls and architectural finishes, structural, bathrooms and plumbing systems, central and local mechanical Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems, process gas and high purity water distribution systems, electrical distribution, grounding, lightning protection, and lighting.

The contractor employees will be located on-site and within the GSFC Facilities Management Division (FMD) – Engineering Branch (Code 224 for Greenbelt and Code 228 for WFF) organization, which is responsible for the design and construction of facility projects for GSFC.

Construction projects are accomplished via wide range of contract vehicles, including, but not limited to:

1. ROME (Repair, Operations and Maintenance, Engineering);

2. “Invitation for Bid” contracts;

3. TProjects constructed by other GSFC organizations but monitored by FMD; and

4. Construction of Facilities Projects some of which are performed by outside contractors.

1.1 Hours of Operation

The Greenbelt campus and Wallops Flight Facility operate 365 days per year 24 hours per day.

The Greenbelt campus is always accessible via the ICESat Gate on Greenbelt Road. Access to the Wallops Flight Facility is restricted to the WFF Main Gate accessed from Route 798, Mill Dam Road, and via Wallops Island Road, Route 803 to on-site entry gate for the Wallops Island site. However, during severe weather events and other announced emergencies, both sites are closed to all non-essential employees. Safety, security, mission operations, and other specifically designated essential employees will be identified for such events.

Normal business hours for GSFC/Greenbelt and WFF are from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, except for federal holidays.

The QA Contractor work hours shall be dictated by the variability of the construction work.

Generally, the earliest start time is 6:00 a.m. and the latest end time is 6:00 p.m., but hours are often extended, and portions of the work under this contract shall be performed after normal working hours and on weekends.

The QA Contractor’s employees shall be required to support the construction work that occurs after hours and on weekends. The Contractor’s QA employees shall not be required to work matching hours with construction Contractors on after-hours/weekend work, but shall work hours as needed to provide the necessary QA coordination and oversight. The QA Contractor’s employees shall maintain a 40-hour work week to include normal business hours, after hours, and weekend work, by using flexible working schedule and off days.
