13.4.5 The COR shall, as a minimum, orally notify the Contractor of any valid complaints.

13.4.6 If the Contractor disagrees with the complaint after investigation of the site and challenges the validity of the complaint, the Contractor will notify the COR. The COR will review the matter to determine the validity of the complaint.

13.4.7 The COR will consider complaints as resolved unless notified otherwise by the complainant.

13.4.8. Repeat customer complaints are not permitted for any services. If a repeat customer complaint is received for the same deficiency during the service period, the COR will contact the Contracting Officer for appropriate action under the

Inspection clause.

14. TRANSITION PLAN/CONTACTS

Within 10 days after contract award, the Contracting Officer may ask the contractor to develop a plan for preparing the contractor to assume all responsibilities for preventive maintenance services.

The plan shall establish the projected period for completion of all clearances of contractor personnel, and the projected start date for performance of all services required under this contract.

The plan shall assign priority to the selection of all supervisors to be used under the contract.

DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/WORK STATEMENT

EXHIBIT A

Statement of Work

I. GENERAL INFORMATION:

The United States Embassy in The Hague requires professional services and contractor cost proposals to perform preventive maintenance services on the facility’s Electrical Switchgear equipment as described in the equipment list below.

II. PROJECT REQUIREMENTS:

DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT *:

*Please see attachment equipment lists (2) at the end of this sheet for more details

III. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS:

The Contractor under this SOW will be responsible for labor, tools, and materials required to carry out all preventive maintenance as outlined in this SOW. Embassy staff has service manuals for all Electrical Switchgear on site.

IV. SCOPE OF WORK - - PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Contractor shall provide all materials, supervision, labor, tools, and equipment to perform preventive maintenance. This must include, but not limited to, batteries for the trip units, fuses, and dielectric lubricant.

All personnel working in the vicinity shall wear and /or use safety protection while all work is performed. Strict adherence to

NFPA70-E and applicable OSHA standards must be maintained at all times. Regular safety meetings shall be held among on-site contractor personnel, LES staff assisting. Any questions or injuries shall be brought to the attention of the Post Occupation

Safety and Health Officer (POSHO). Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) shall be provided by the Contractor for all

HAZMAT materials. Copies will be provided to the COR for approval.

Prior to beginning any site work the contractor must submit to the embassy FM an isolation Standard Operating Procedure

(SOP) and schedule to reflect the planned work and sequence. The contractor must obtain written approval from the embassy

Facility Manager noting the planned servicing schedule, and all required generator transfers, tie-breaker switching, or switchgear outages.

If any discrepancies are found with the generator system that are not covered under this scope of work then the contractor must provide the following:

1. Detailed report noting the discrepancy found.

2. Bill of Materials (BOM) to include component name, quantity, part #, and price for any repair material required and material lead time.

3. Price quote for repair labor.

At a minimum, the following work must be done:

Task Description

A. Step-One, Visual Inspection:

1) Visual and Mechanical Inspection to ensure the proper operation of all factory and vender installed meters, breakers, remote power monitoring equipment associated with the switch gear.

2) Inspect physical, electrical, and mechanical condition including evidence of moisture or corona.

3) Inspect that all filters are in place, and the vents are clear.

4) Inspect that the working space is maintained in front of all the electrical gear per the National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements.

5) Inspect that the electrical room is free from foreign articles not associated with the room.

B. Step-Two, Verify:

1) Compare the installed metering measurements with voltage and power readings from a True RMS meter. Make calibration corrections as necessary to ensure accurate voltage and power readings.

2) Verify the switchgear circuit breakers sizing match the drawings.

3) Verify the proper labeling of all the breakers in the switchgear.

4) Verify that the Post as-build drawings (electrical one-line) match the switchgear distribution. Make “Red Ink” corrections on a paper copy as necessary. Inform the FM of any discrepancies or changes to the drawings.

5) Verify that the required NFPA70-E safety equipment is available and in good condition for local staff to use.

6) Refer to the manufacture’s recommendations for additional maintenance requirements.

C. Step-Three, Test/Clean/Correct:

1) Inspect anchorage, alignment, grounding for the equipment.

2) Test the system earth ground (25 ohms or less).

3) Perform infrared testing on all conductor connections, buss terminations. Only record hot spots on digital format for review.

4) Before shutdown ensure that all components are operational. Record ones that are not at this time. Make the FM aware of all components that are not functioning prior to shut down.

5) Schedule power outage of equipment for cleaning. Coordinate any required outage with post. (Outage may require off hours work).

6) As applicable perform function tests on “rack-out” breakers, test trip units and settings. Replace any faulty battery, fuse, or switch.

7) Perform proper Lock-out/Tag-out and ensure the system is de-energized before removing panel covers and exposing any electrical bus or cabling. Under no circumstances should the equipment be energized during the maintenance operation.

8) Clean each compartment. Check for damage, excessive wear, or corrosion

9) Spot check and correct any loose components or connections.

10) Torque loose connections identified during the infrared test or during inspection.

11) Confirm correct operation and sequencing of electrical and mechanical interlock systems.

12) Use appropriate dielectric lubrication on moving current-carrying parts and on moving and sliding surfaces.

13) Correct any faulty, damaged, discolored, and worn components using site spares.

14) Exercise all active components. This includes racking the breakers out than back in.

15) Inspect mechanical indicating devices for correct operation.

16) Inspect all power control transformers for physical damage, cracked insulation, broken leads, tightness of connections, defective wiring, proper overload protection, and over all general wiring.

17) After re-energizing the equipment ensure that all components are up and functioning properly.

18) Refer to the manufactures suggested recommendations for additional maintenance requirements.

19) Clean or replace any air filters present.

20) Make calibration corrections as necessary to ensure accurate voltage and power readings on permanently installed switchgear metering.
