6. STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

General Contract Requirements

This is a Statement of Work (SOW) for the Ute Mountain Ute Health Center (UMUHC) North Campus Facility HVAC system: Operations, Bi-Annual Maintenance, and Related Services defined under the scope of this contract. This SOW describes the minimum requirements of the Ute Mountain Ute Service Unit (UMUSU) and acceptable outcomes to be performed by the Operations and Maintenance Contractor (known from here on as Contractor). All, or part of, the successful quoter's various required maintenance and management plans shall be incorporated into the contract.

UMUSU seeks to establish a partnering relationship with the Contractor to accomplish the program objectives in this contract. The objective of the partnering process is to provide an effective problem-finding/problem-solving management team composed of personnel from both parties, thus creating a single culture with one set of goals and objectives.

Partnering requires that both parties recognize and address those opportunities and challenges that shall be confronted to help maintain the health of the Contractor/UMUSU relationship. The relationship is based on trust, dedication to common goals, and an understanding of each other's individual expectations and values. The team shall consider utilizing a facility engineering and systems thinking approach to provide solutions from a global perspective. The outcome of this initiative is for UMUSU to leverage Contractor expertise to assist UMUSU in accomplishing these goals and objectives.

UMUSU intends to purchase Contractor to provide technical and managerial expertise to assist in the holistic management of the HVAC assets over the long term. This program strategy has taken the name "facilities engineering" and has proven to be a successful model resulting in efficient and effective management of assets while maintaining a lower overall cost of operations. The facilities engineering model is dependent upon an effective partnership with a highly skilled Contractor whose objectives are based on mutual understanding of the stated requirements and objectives. A higher level of effective communication between the Government and Contractor is essential for partnering and for this performance-based service contract to succeed, whereas the success of this contract is shared between the Government and the Contractor. More emphasis is placed on the Contractor's self-management of quality, not the usual inspection by Government inspectors, although that is a part of this contract as well. All parties shall act proactively to reduce service cost.

The Contractor shall provide management, supervision, labor, materials, equipment, and supplies (shipping & handling) for six (6) HVAC units as needed for the efficient, effective, economical, and satisfactory operation, scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, repair of the HVAC system for the UMUHC North Campus.

HVAC units currently include:

Additional services may be ordered at the discretion of UMUSU for work relating to the operations, maintenance and repair or upgrade of the facilities listed above, but not covered in the basic services of the contract. Government furnished items are specifically excluded in this contract. The Contractor shall ensure a preventive maintenance schedule is developed and executed in conformance with manufacturers' equipment.

Maintenance Specific Requirements

The Contractor shall establish an effective Preventive Maintenance Plan for scheduling and performing scheduled preventive maintenance on the HVAC system covered under the scope of this Contract.

Repairs

A "repair" is an act of restoring inoperable, dysfunctional or deteriorated equipment, systems, or material to a fully functional, non-deteriorated state. Repairs involve some combination of labor and repair or replacement of the equipment, parts, components or materials. The Contractor shall perform reimbursable repairs, on an “as-needed” basis.
