C-02 MODERNIZATION AND DIRECT SERVICES

This contract encompasses Direct Funded Performance Work Statements (PWSs) and any separately funded modernization project requirements referred to as Production Base Support (PBS). The PBS Industrial Facilities (IF) program to modernize/rehabilitate Government-owned production facilities that are used for making Department of Defense munitions. In certain instances, construction of facilities occurs which utilize the Corps of Engineers (COE) as the design agency and construction project manager. The Operator may have to work directly with other agencies as a result of any orders issued under this agreement. Projects may also include demolition and relocation of facilities. The execution of any project is subject to availability of funding. The PBS requirements may be very broad in scope and could include, as examples: fixing a roof, removing a building, or upgrading a piece of machinery.

Resultant Task Orders can be Fixed Price, Fixed Price Incentive, Cost Reimbursable, Cost Plus Fixed Fee, or Cost Plus Incentive Fee. The proposed pricing in the successful Offeror’s Price Matrix (Attachment 0019) will be used for the prices in which the Government has agreed to pay the Operator for the performance of those Direct Funded PWSs and for the NC Facility.

The Operator shall provide all management, supervision, personnel, labor, generalized or specialized equipment necessary to perform the functions detailed in each Task Order. This is to be done in strict accordance with all the terms, conditions, general and special provisions specified by Task Order. Schedules for work not already proposed will be negotiated along with Price.

The Operator's work and responsibility shall include all contractor planning, programming, administration, and management necessary to provide all repairs, construction, design build and any related services as specified in each individual Task Order. The work shall be conducted by the Operator in strict accordance with all applicable laws, regulations, and/or any changes, revisions thereto. The Operator shall ensure that work meets or exceeds the specifications in the Task Order. The Operator shall perform its own administrative services necessary to accomplish the work; i.e., supply, procurement, quality control, job order shop operation, financial controls, maintenance of accurate, complete records, files, and libraries of documents such as Federal, State, and local regulations, technical manuals, manufacturer's instructions and recommendations, and any other similar documents. The work shall meet or exceed the most current industry leading benchmarks and conform to federal, state and local codes for the applicable scope of work. The work shall conform to military and civil works regulations to the maximum extent practicable where equivalent industry standards cannot be applied. In addition to the above, the Operator shall comply with any local codes or RFAAP Plant specific codes.

Facilities and scope will be identified in each Task Order. Work will vary from project to project and will require extensive knowledge of the functional operation relating to the efficient use of the facility, equipment, and facility support systems, and building structures. Since the facilities may be in full operation, the Operator shall be required to minimize interference with the daily operation of the facilities when performing requirements.

The Operator must assume the responsibility for performance of any facilities managed, designed, erected, and constructed under any Task Orders awarded to it under this contract.

C-03 RESPONSIVENESS TO GOVERNMENT

The Operator will be required to coordinate work with the Contracting Officer and his/her designees, as required. This includes Request for Proposal/Request for Quote response timelines, which are binding as identified within the respective letters/requests to the Operator, unless otherwise agreed to in advance by the Government Contracting Officer.

The Operator shall maintain cooperative and businesslike relations with other facilities support contractors and Government workers with whom he/she comes in contact.

The Operator shall respond, in a reasonable period of time agreed to by both parties, to all Government requests for information necessary to accomplish the inherently governmental function of managing this contract.

NOTE: Although the Government will enlist the assistance of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) including COE Staff, Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO) Staff as well as other Government SMEs, the Contracting Officer is the ONLY person who is able to bind the US Government in any way. Any change orders, schedule and/or design modifications, or other changes that may alter the requirements of the individual Task Orders, even minimally, shall be authorized by the cognizant Contracting Officer on a case-by-case basis.

C-04 PROGRAM MANAGEMENT REVIEWS (PMR)

The Contractor shall support/host periodic onsite Program Management Reviews (PMRs) at the request of Capability Program Executive Ammunition & Energetics, RFAAP Government Staff, or Army Sustainment Command (ASC) (minimum of three times per year) in accordance with paragraph 2.1.5.1 of PWS 2 - Facility Planning.

C-05 MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS

FAR 52.223-3, Hazardous Material Identification and Material Safety Data, indicates failure to submit the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) prior to award may result in the apparently successful Offeror being considered non-responsive and ineligible for award. However, MSDSs are not required to be submitted with the Offerors' proposals but will be required from the successful Offeror subsequent to award.

C-06 FACILITY SECURITY CLEARANCE REQUIREMENT

Requirements of this contract will require the contractor to have access to classified material up to and including the SECRET level. As such, a Facility Security Clearance at the SECRET level is required. Classified material must be handled in accordance with the current National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM), DoD 5220.22-M, Department of the Army Information Security Program, AR 380-5, and any local security classification guidance and source documents. Remaining security requirements, to include handling of sensitive information, are stated on Attachment 0023, DD 254 - Contract Security Classification Specification.
