ASBESTOS TESTING and ABATEMENT SERVICES Offutt AFB, NE

1. Description of Services The contractor shall provide all management, tools, supplies, equipment, transportation and labor necessary to provide asbestos/lead-based paint (LBP) testing/sampling services and – when directed – to provide follow-on asbestos abatement and LBP removal services. The objective is to establish a multi-functional blanket purchase agreement (BPA) which facilitates comprehensive professional testing/sampling services as well as services to remove all forms of asbestos containing material (ACM) and LBP removal on Offutt AFB, NE, in accordance with all federal, state and local regulations.

Individual projects will be managed as call orders which will be issued against the basic contract and will be executed in accordance with (IAW) the contract’s basic terms, conditions, this performance work statement (PWS), individual call order PWSs, submittal documentation and any other items identified within specific call order documentation.

This PWS is not intended to establish minimum or maximum performance requirements. Specific scopes of work will be provided in individual call orders. The Contractor’s proposed materials, means, and methods for individual calls may exceed the minimum requirements but are subject to Government review and approval.

Call order pricing shall in accordance with the base-year pricing schedule (see Appendix 2) and shall include only “APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS” of the call order PWS/specification. “APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS” are defined as actions or incremental work tasks that are required to complete each individual call order in strict compliance with federal, state, and local regulations – for each type of abatement project. Pricing for various elements of work which are not included within the framework of the base-year pricing schedule (Appendix 2) are subject to negotiation within the context of individual call orders.

1.1. Notifications and Scheduling of Work.

1.1.1. Non-Emergency Work. The Contractor shall be notified of NON-EMERGENCY asbestos abatement requirements by the authorized government representative, Contracting Officer (CO) or Contracting Officer Representative (COR). Each notification shall include a project description for the work identified with a respective call number. At the time of notification, if the amount to be removed is more than three (3) square feet or three (3) linear feet, the Contractor shall provide the State of Nebraska the required 10-day notice. The Contractor shall be responsible for completing notification forms including associated notification fees. The mailing address for Nebraska notification forms and fees is:

The contractor will recommend proper and expedient methods for emergency abatement. The response time for emergency abatement requirements shall be within 24 hours – including weekends and holidays. The CO or authorized government representative will make emergency calls. Any further abatement work that is identified during the emergency call shall be managed as routine nonemergency abatement services. In the event of an emergency, the Contractor shall consider the 10-day formal notification period (for the State of Nebraska) to be waived however, the Contractor must notify the State within 48 hours (after emergency abatement service are performed) as required by State regulations.

1.2.2. Site Visits: After receipt of a call order notification, a site visit with BPA Contractor(s), Civil Engineering Squadron (CES) personnel, and project management personnel will be held generally within five (5) business days. The purpose of the site visit is to brief the overall scope of the work so that Contractors can ascertain the general conditions that could materially affect pricing and the corresponding abatement submission. Elements of the site visit include:

· Project number and title/work order

· Site investigation

· Methods and alternatives for accomplishing work

· Definition and refinement or requirements

· Scope of work

· Requirements for plans, sketches, shop drawings, etc.

1.2.3. Project Validation: Upon completion of the site visit and if required, the Government will provide an updated/amended call order PWS to concerned BPA Contractor(s), detailing any changes deemed necessary during the site visit. The Contractor shall then prepare a detailed quote in accordance with the call order for submission to 55th CONS within three (3) business days of the site visit using the CO approved price list (Appendix 2).

1.2.4. Special Provisions: The Contractor’s pricing schedule (published unit-priced line items) and their associated quantities shall be used to establish pricing for incremental call order projects. The Contractor will be provided a detailed description of the proposed work and must perform measurements in the field during the site visit to verify the quantities of each unit priced item necessary to complete the work as described. All Contractor quotes are subject to technical evaluation by CES personnel and/or the CO. Contractors may be asked to adjust quantities as necessary following Government technical evaluations. After the final quote is submitted, no changes to the agreed upon quantities will be made and no additional unit-priced line items will be added unless differing site conditions are encountered and/or the description/scope of the work is intentionally modified by the CO (with the concurrence of the Contractor). The Contractor is responsible for notifying the CO immediately upon encountering differing site conditions. No separate payment will be made for compliance with any provision of “Special Provisions for Measurement” as stated above.
