PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

FOR

CJAG LL6 Electrical System Installation

1.0 General:

1.1 Scope: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and quality control necessary, except as specified in Paragraph 3.0 as Government Furnished, to perform the Construction of the Electrical System, as defined in this PWS.

1.1.1 Objectives: The contractor shall construct approximately 1,400 linear of underground medium-voltage electrical service to terminate in a new pad mounted transformer, at the Load Line 6 (LL6) area at Camp James A. Garfield (CJAG), located in Ravenna, OH.

1.2 Background: The LL6 area of CJAG requires the installation of underground medium-voltage electrical service to terminate in a new pad mounted transformer to support military operations. This project shall provide 750kw of steady power with the ability to surge to 2,000 kV for peak loads.

1.3 Period of Performance (PoP): Performance shall start 10 days after receipt of order and complete prior to 1 December 2026.

1.4 General Information:

1.4.1 Place and Performance of Services: The contractor shall provide services between the hours of 0730 and 1630 on Monday through Friday, except on recognized US holidays or when the Government facility/installation is closed due to local or national emergencies, administrative closings, or similar Government-directed facility/installation closings. Performance shall be at the LL6 area of CJAG. The contractor shall at all times maintain an adequate workforce for the uninterrupted performance of all tasks defined within this PWS when the Government facility/installation is not closed for the above reasons. When hiring personnel, the contractor shall keep in mind that the stability and continuity of the workforce are essential.

1.4.1.1 Telework: The Government does not permit the contractor to telework in support of this requirement.

1.4.1.2 Unscheduled gate closures by the Security Police may occur at any time causing all personnel entering or exiting a closed installation to experience a delay.
