SUMMARY OF WORK

1.0 GENERAL

1.1 DESCRIPTION

The location of this project is 801 I St., Sacramento, CA.

The intent of this project is to clean, repair, and polish the existing terrazzo in two stairwells and the public spaces on the 1st and 4th floors. This building is occupied by Federal employees and is open to the public so it sees a lot of foot traffic. Over the years, the floors have been damaged by general occupant use and the building settling. This project addresses the damaged areas of the floors with the ultimate goal of cleaning, repairing, and polishing the floors to bring out their beauty.

The contractor shall furnish adequate supervision, labor, materials, supplies and equipment necessary to perform all the services required under this contract in an orderly, timely and efficient manner. The Federal Office Building is owned by the Federal Government and it is not subject to the requirements of the local Building Department. However, all local, state and federal codes need to be followed. The contractor shall be responsible for the provision of design documents and calculations as required to illustrate and explain the work to be completed.

Unless otherwise indicated, items of work are inclusive of, but not limited to, all labor, materials, equipment, traffic control, safety measures, replacement of disrupted improvements, coordination, preparation and accommodation of project constraints (whether specifically identified in these specifications or encountered during the contract) necessary to complete the item in conformance with all applicable governing agency regulations and specifications to the satisfaction of the Government and inspecting agency. Items of work that are necessary to complete the project in accordance with the plans and specifications if any, but that are not specifically called out in the Schedule of Unit Prices, are considered incidental to the project and are not subject to separate compensation.

The project requirements include all engineering, programming, labor, testing, and cleanup.

1.3 USE OF SITE

Limit use of the premises to the immediate work area. Do not disturb portions of the Federal Building beyond the immediate work area. The contractor must repair or replace damage to existing site features caused by construction. Protect the building during the construction period. Keep driveways, loading docks, elevators, elevator entrances, and building entrances clear. These areas are not authorized for parking or material storage without permission. Contractor will schedule deliveries to minimize on-site storage of materials and equipment. The contractor shall designate a representative to receive building materials. Government personnel are not authorized to receive shipments or deliveries upon behalf of a construction contractor.

Work in the Federal Office Buildings will require coordination with a GSA representative. Please contact him/her to coordinate arrangements upon behalf of the project.

1.4 FACE COVERINGS

The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) remains committed to ensuring that proper steps are taken to protect the health and wellbeing of GSA personnel, GSA contractors, and the community in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where social distancing measures are difficult to maintain, especially in areas of significant community-based transmission. Consistent with the CDC’s recommendations, the individuals listed below are required to wear, at a minimum, cloth face coverings: (1) to gain access to property under the jurisdiction, custody, or control of GSA (“GSA-controlled facilities”); and (2) while in GSA-controlled facilities and recommended social distancing measures are difficult to maintain. This Guidance applies to all:

● GSA employees (except the Office of Inspector General and the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals)

● GSA contractors

● All other individuals transacting business with or visiting GSA employees or GSA contractors while on or in GSA-controlled facilities

Contracting Officers may approve exceptions to the face covering requirement for reasons such as impracticality, health, or other bases. A request for an exception must be submitted to the Project Manager and the Contracting Officer prior to entering GSA-controlled facilities.

Contractor’s who do not wear the required cloth face covering (unless an exception is approved per the above procedure) will not be allowed to participate in the site visit.

A cloth face covering should extend above the nose without interfering with eyewear, and below the chin to cover the mouth and nostrils completely. It should fit snugly but comfortably against the sides of the face and be secured (e.g., by being tied in place or with ear-loops). Cloth face coverings should be laundered regularly to maintain good hygiene. Any cloth face coverings supplied by GSA to employees or visitors are the responsibility of the employee or visitor to launder.

These instructions do not alter or supersede the authority of any (a) Federal agency occupying space in a GSA-controlled facility to issue face covering guidance pertaining to its own employees, contractors, or visitors; or (b) Facility Security Committee to implement security measures in a GSA-controlled facility.

Please remember to review other instructions listed in FAR 52.236-27 of this Task Order RFP.

1.5 QUALITY ASSURANCE

The contractor shall designate a specific individual as a project/contract manager. The project manager or approved designate will be on site during the time work is performed on this contract.

1.6 WAGE RATES

DAVIS-BACON WAGE RATES: Davis-Bacon wage rates are applicable to this project regarding the construction portion. The contractor shall provide accordingly in his cost proposal to the Government.

Questions regarding application of Davis-Bacon wages may be directed to the contracting officer Tim Day at telephone (916) 498-5366.

1.7 PROJECT COMPLETION PERIOD

The work of the project must be completed within 120 days after the notice to proceed is issued by the Contracting Officer.

Completion of work is herein defined as follows: All work specified shall be fully completed per the plans and specification and accepted by the governing agencies, all certifications, as-built plans, and guarantees are submitted to the Government.

The working days specified shall be inclusive of all construction windows, utility energizing, punch list buy-off and final acceptance of all facilities.

The project work shall not be considered complete until these items have been addressed. They are:

a. Published punch-list work items must be corrected in a manner acceptable to the Government.

b. As-built drawings (both CAD and PDF) and operations manuals must be made available to the Government.

c. The final payment request accompanied by a release of claims form must be made available to the Government.

1.8 WASTE DIVERSION REQUIREMENTS

This project has the requirement to divert at least 50% of construction and demolition materials and debris from landfills.

Unless state or local regulations require a higher percentage, it is required to achieve end-of-project rates for diversion of 50% by weight of total non-hazardous solid waste generated by the work, unless additional rates are indicated. Practice efficient waste management in the use of materials in the course of the work.

Use all reasonable means to divert construction and demolition waste from landfills and incinerators. While GSA’s minimum waste diversion requirement is 50%, the agency has a higher goal of 70% waste diversion for this project if required by specific regional targets.

2.0 PRODUCTS

The work of this project shall be constructed of new products delivered to the job site in their original unopened, undamaged containers. Provide only products manufactured or specifically recommended to match existing installed components.

Whenever available, products, equipment and materials utilized and installed under this statement of work shall comply with the following energy efficient and eco-friendly standards:

a. Energy-efficient (ENERGY STAR® or Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP)-designated);

b. Water-efficient;

c. Biobased;

d. Environmentally preferable (e.g., EPEAT-registered, or non-toxic or less toxic alternatives);

e. Non-ozone depleting; and/or

f. Made with recovered materials.

GSA purchases for products and constructions must meet sustainable product requirements. Every contractor shall comply with these sustainable product requirements by using products that meet the criteria and standards listed in the PBS Sustainable Product Requirements document at the time of contract award, and or exercise of option modification. The contractor is also responsible for providing sufficient documentation to confirm that the products provided have the required sustainable criteria, upon the Government's request. See attached PBS Sustainable Products Requirements List.

2.1 SCHEDULE SUBMISSION

The contractor shall submit a schedule regarding the work of this project to the Government for review and approval before the work of this project shall begin.

2.2 SECURITY CLEARANCE REQIREMENTS AND INFORMATION

The contractor shall submit a completed Contractor Information Worksheet (CIW) for each employee working on the project to the Zone-D Credentialing Office.
