SECTION C - DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK

STATEMENT OF WORK FOR THE

CORROSION AND CORROSION CONTROL IN LIGHT WATER REACTORS

COURSE

C.1 BACKGROUND

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is responsible for inspecting license holders who generate electrical power from light water reactors to determine whether operations are conducted in compliance with Federal regulations and license conditions and to identify conditions which might adversely affect the health and safety of the public, the environment, or the common defense and security. Also, the NRC is responsible for review and approval or denial of license changes.

The Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation has determined that the current staff responsible for review of license changes and new actions related to component integrity requires training in corrosion and corrosion control in light water reactors.

C.2 OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this procurement is to obtain a course that will provide a practical familiarization with corrosion and corrosion control in light water reactors:

Introduction to and fundamentals of corrosion,

2. Corrosion in Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) internals and piping, Corrosion in Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) steam generators and other systems

Corrosion in PWR control rod drive mechanisms, and

5. Corrosion caused by plant environmental factors such as stress, temperature, boric acid, and other chemicals

C.3 SCOPE OF WORK

The contractor shall furnish the qualified personnel, instructional materials, and services necessary to prepare and teach the “Corrosion and Corrosion Control in Light Water Reactors” course as ordered by the NRC.

C.3.1 COURSE DESCRIPTION

The contractor will be required to present up to two courses each year. The presentation shall be approximately four and one-half days (about 32 instructional hours) in duration. A list of proposed course topics is shown in Attachment 1. Changes in, additions to, or deviations from the topics listed in Attachment 1 are permitted, as long as the basic course objectives are accomplished.

SECTION H - SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

H.1 2052.215-70 KEY PERSONNEL (JAN 1993)

(a) The following individuals are considered to be essential to the successful performance of the work hereunder:

Instructor

The contractor agrees that personnel may not be removed from the contract work or replaced without compliance with paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section.

(b) If one or more of the key personnel, for whatever reason, becomes, or is expected to become, unavailable for work under this contract for a continuous period exceeding 30 work days, or is expected to devote substantially less effort to the work than indicated in the proposal or initially anticipated, the contractor shall immediately notify the contracting officer and shall, subject to the con-currence of the contracting officer, promptly replace the personnel with personnel of at least substantially equal ability and qualifications.

(c) Each request for approval of substitutions must be in writing and contain a detailed explanation of the circumstances necessitating the proposed substitutions. The request must also contain a complete resume for the proposed substitute and other information requested or needed by the contracting officer to evaluate the proposed substitution. The contracting officer and the project officer shall evaluate the contractor's request and the contracting officer shall promptly notify the contractor of his or her decision in writing.

(d) If the contracting officer determines that suitable and timely replacement of key personnel who have been reassigned, terminated, or have otherwise become unavailable for the contract work is not reasonably forthcoming, or that the resultant reduction of productive effort would be so substantial as to impair the successful completion of the contract or the service order, the contract may be terminated by the contracting officer for default or for the convenience of the Government, as appropriate. If the contracting officer finds the contractor at fault for the condition, the contract price or fixed fee may be equitably adjusted downward to compensate the Government for any resultant delay, loss, or damage.

H.2 GOVERNMENT FURNISHED EQUIPMENT/PROPERTY (JANUARY 2001)

(a) The NRC will provide the contractor with the following items for use under this contract:

Upon request, the NRC will furnish the contractor with at least one copy of applicable NRC documents deemed necessary to support course development and presentation, such as Regulatory Guides, Information Notices, Bulletins and NUREGs. If these documents are available on the NRC website, the contractor may be provided with the URL and directed to download the appropriate information. The NRC will also furnish master copy of the curse evaluation form and student information sheet to be provided to and completed by each student. The contractor will be responsible for duplicating, distributing and collecting these forms during the administration of each course.

The NRC will be responsible for preparing course announcements, student registration, scheduling classrooms and other course administrative details.

H.3 ANNUAL AND FINAL CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS

Annual and final evaluations of contractor performance under this contract will be prepared in accordance with FAR 42.15, "Contractor Performance Information," normally at the time the contractor is notified of the NRC's intent to exercise the contract option. If the multi-year contract does not have option years, then an annual evaluation will be prepared (state time for annual evaluation). Final evaluations of contractor performance will be prepared at the expiration of the contract during the contract closeout process.

The Contracting Officer will transmit the NRC Project Officer's annual and final contractor performance evaluations to the contractor's Project Manager, unless otherwise instructed by the contractor. The contractor will be permitted thirty days to review the document. The contractor may concur without comment, submit additional information, or request a meeting to discuss the performance evaluation. The Contracting Officer may request the contractor's Project Manger to attend a meeting to discuss the performance evaluation.

Where a contractor concurs with, or takes no exception to an annual performance evaluation, the Contracting Officer will consider such evaluation final and releasable for source selection purposes. Disagreements between the parties regarding a performance evaluation will be referred to an individual one level above the Contracting Officer, whose decision will be final.

The Contracting Officer will send a copy of the completed evaluation report, marked "For Official Use Only," to the contractor's Project Manager for their records as soon as practicable after it has been finalized. The completed evaluation report also will be used as a tool to improve communications between the NRC and the contractor and to improve contract performance.

The completed annual performance evaluation will be used to support future award decisions in accordance with FAR 42.1502(a) and 42.1503(c). During the period the information is being used to provide source selection information, the completed annual performance evaluation will be released to only two parties - the Federal government personnel performing the source selection evaluation and the contractor under evaluation if the contractor does not have a copy of the report already.

H.4 COMPLIANCE WITH U.S. IMMIGRATION LAWS AND REGULATIONS (MAY 2002)

NRC contractors are responsible to ensure that their alien personnel are not in violation of United States immigration laws and regulations, including employment authorization documents and visa requirements. Each alien employee of the Contractor must be lawfully admitted for permanent residence as evidenced by Permanent Resident Card Form I-551, or must present other evidence from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security/U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services that employment will not affect his/her immigration status. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services provides information to contractors to help them understand the employment eligibility verification process for non-US citizens. This information can be found on their website, www.uscis.gov.

The NRC reserves the right to deny or withdraw Contractor use or access to NRC facilities or its equipment/services, and/or take any number of contract administrative actions (e.g., disallow costs, terminate for cause) should the Contractor violate the Contractor's responsibility under this clause.
