About this file
This is a Performance Work Statement (PWS) template for Lifeguard Services at Kirtland Air Force Base's 100-meter indoor swimming pool, designed to be tailored by individual agencies for their specific requirements.
The contract is a non-personnel services agreement requiring the contractor to provide one dedicated on-site Aquatics Manager and a minimum of three certified lifeguards per operational session across three daily sessions: Morning (0530-0830), Mid-day (1030-1330), and Afternoon (1530-1830), Monday through Friday, except federal holidays. The contractor must maintain all required certifications including Lifeguarding/Water Rescue, CPR for Professional Rescuer, AED, and Standard First Aid from recognized organizations such as American Red Cross, Starguard Elite, or Ellis & Associates. Key responsibilities include continuous pool surveillance and rescue operations, emergency response with first aid and CPR/AED administration, facility rule enforcement, patron access management, daily pool vacuuming and drain clearing, equipment inspections and sanitization, and water quality testing (temperature and chemical balance). Critically, contractor personnel are strictly prohibited from handling, applying, or balancing pool chemicals; if water quality parameters are not met, the pool must be secured and the Base Civil Engineering COR immediately notified. The contractor must develop and submit a comprehensive Quality Control Plan addressing staff recruitment, retention, and scheduling methodologies to ensure compliance with DAFI 34-101 mandatory break requirements without degrading patron-to-lifeguard safety ratios. All contract personnel require base access clearance suitable for unclassified work and must comply with DBIDS or CAC procedures. The government furnishes the facility, all lifesaving and safety equipment (rescue tubes, backboards, AED, first aid kits, whistles, water testing kits), utilities, emergency response services, and facility maintenance, while the contractor furnishes uniforms, administrative materials, and any proprietary equipment needed for scheduling and certification management. Performance is measured against four key performance requirements: full staff certification and minimum staffing levels (100% compliance required), daily water quality testing and reporting (100% compliance), daily equipment inspections and emergency response capability (no more than one missed inspection per month), and facility upkeep including patron access logging (no more than two documented deficiencies per month). Estimated workload is 2,268 hours for the Aquatics Manager and 6,804 hours for lifeguard services annually.
