PWS R1 HRF - SCVS Clean Up SEP25_v2.docx

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

FOR

Region 1 Homeland Response Force (HRF) – Collective Training Event TY2025 – Structural Collapse Venue Site (SCVS) Clean Up Services

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 SCVS Clean Up Services, as defined in this PWS.

1.1.1 Objectives: The contractor shall provide SCVS Clean Up for Search and Extraction Operations for the event. Personnel assigned to this task shall possess the skills, qualifications, and equipment necessary to perform assigned tasks associated with this order.

This PWS additionally establishes performance requirements for contractor tasks necessary to reset SCVS. These SCVS were built to be realistic, challenging, and maintainable, and to provide skill lanes required to conduct NG CRE training as identified in the Training and Evaluation Outlines/CATS. The training venues provide strategic and tactical challenges of such complexity that repetitiveness does not breed familiarity with the training prop and training lanes. The SCVS is of sufficient size and complexity to keep the Search and Extraction (S&E) teams training in realistic conditions and environments, so individuals gain valuable experience and expertise working on a simulated "real world" structural collapse.

1.2 Background: In conjunction with the National Guard Bureau (NGB), the entity is tasked to develop and support regional training and exercise activities aimed at enhancing domestic contingency readiness. The entity ensures these functions are integrated and complementary where appropriate. To provide conditions wherein the participants are challenged with probable real-world situations, NGB uses Structural Collapse Simulators (SCS) to simulate the collapsed state of buildings due to a natural disaster or a domestic terrorism event. The use of these simulator venues supports regional training and exercises to enhancing domestic contingency preparedness exercises and evaluations of CBRNE Enhanced Response Force Package (CERFP), Homeland Response Force (HRF) and other CBRNE response capabilities. A SCVS is a location where one or more SCS are used to simulate the collapsed state of buildings.

1.3 Period of Performance (PoP): The Period of Performance shall be Tuesday 02SEP25 until completion, work must be completed no later than Friday 05SEP25.

1.4 General Information:

1.4.1 Place and Performance of Services: The contractor shall provide services between the hours of 0730-1630 on Tuesday 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 Structural Collapse Venue Site at Camp Edwards at Joint Base Cape Cod located at Joint Base Cape Cod, Connery Ave. Buzzards Bay, MA 02542. The contractor shall at all times maintain an adequate work force 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 work force are essential. Teleworking is not authorized.

1.4.1.1 Telework: Telework is not authorized as the performance required, as laid out in this PWS, cannot be met if telework is authorized. Performance requirements call for the clean up of the desired location.

The Government does not permit the contractor to telework in support of this requirement. In furtherance of Continuity of Operations Planning (COOP), a telework program may be enacted to ensure that the Government's mission-critical operations stay operational during times of national emergency or incidents of national significance. Telework shall be at no additional cost to the Government.

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. This cannot be predicted or prevented. Contractors are not compensated for unexpected closures or delays. Vehicles operated by contractor personnel are subject to search pursuant to applicable regulations. Any moving violation of any applicable motor vehicle regulation may result in the termination of the contractor employee’s installation driving privileges.

1.4.1.3 The contractor’s employees shall become familiar with and obey the regulations of the installation; including fire, traffic, safety and security regulations while on the installation. Contractor employees should only enter restricted areas when required to do so and only upon prior approval. All contractor employees shall carry proper identification with them at all times, and shall be subject to such checks as may be deemed necessary. The contractor shall ensure compliance with all regulations and orders of the installation, which may affect performance. The Government reserves the right to direct the removal of an employee from Government property or revoke access to Government systems for misconduct, security reasons, or any overt evidence of communicable disease. Removal of contractor employees for reasons stated above does not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for total performance of this contract.
