Section C - Description/Specifications Scope of Work

1.0 Background

The FAA William J. Hughes Technical Center’s Center Operations Division provides facility operations and maintenance, engineering, design and construction services for all organizations and personnel residing on properties located at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), William J. Hughes Technical Center (WJHTC).

The Facilities Engineering and Facilities Operations Branches within Center Operations are responsible for providing a safe, healthy, and secure work environment while operating, maintaining, and enhancing the Technical Center's support infrastructure (buildings, roads, utilities, and land). The Center Operations Division is responsible for the ongoing sustainment and enhancement of the physical infrastructure of the campus and requisite supporting services.

1.1 Scope

The scope of this contract is to provide engineering/technical and inspection services to augment activities normally accomplished by FAA employees as necessary for the proper function and operation of the WJHTC. This scope encompasses requirements specifically defined in the contract, and those that otherwise are reasonably required to facilitate execution of the intent of this contract. This includes, but is not limited to: technical support; development and review of design documents; space management; project planning and scheduling; construction inspection;

quality assurance/inspection support; facilities oriented emergencies support; facilities-related condition assessments; preventive maintenance and service call inspections; project management of IDIQ/T&M projects;

development of SOW/cost estimates/specifications; inspection of service contractor work; maintaining facilities-related equipment inventory information; development of preventive maintenance procedures; and development of operating procedures (SOPs). This work statement specifies the services, support and reporting functions the Contractor is to provide to the Center Operations Division and sets forth the requirements to accomplish specific activities to provide engineering and other professional services to the Division. Specific requirements are outlined in Section 2 of this SOW.

1.2 Work Schedules

The William J. Hughes Technical Center’s normal hours of operation (NHO) are 6:00 a.m. through 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. The Contractor must provide onsite management during NHO, regardless of vacation or any other absence by any individual employee or group of employees. If Task Area Lead (TAL) is not available, the Contractor must appoint a delegate.

The Technical Center’s mission includes active 24/7/365 support of the National Airspace System (NAS), as well as time-sensitive research and development efforts. A certain amount of work will need to be performed outside of NHO due to potential impacts and/or interruptions to occupants, building and/or schedule restrictions, emergency or urgent needs, and Technical Center closures, including Federal holidays. This work must be managed with the same standards of efficiency, professionalism, and effectiveness as work performed during normal hours of operation.

With the exception of Labor Categories designated as Service Contract Act (SCA) categories, no premium will be paid for overtime. The contractor will be paid the standard T&M rate for any additional hours beyond an eight-hour workday. For SCA labor categories, the Contractor is required to pay employees in accordance with SCA guidelines for anything over an eight-hour workday. The Contractor must coordinate any overtime with the COR and receive written approval from the CO prior to working any overtime. A not to exceed (NTE) amount will be assigned to the Contract for overtime hours. The Contractor must bill any approved overtime hours to the NTE Overtime CLIN. In some circumstances, the FAA may coordinate a flexible start time for SCA labor categories, so the workday for SCA labor categories does not extend past eight hours.

1.3 Work Assignment

The Center Operations Division uses an automated facilities management software program to assign and assess Contractor’s performance and to track individual Contractor hours spent on each assignment as well as the dates started and completed. The current system used is Archibus FM. The Government may elect to change software at any time. An FAA Branch or Section Manager or the COR will issue tasks to the Contractor Task Area Lead (TAL) via an Archibus Work Request, The Government will provide the necessary information for the assignee to perform the required task; the Contractor may contact the Government at any time for clarification or additional information.

The TAL or delegate must then assign the request to the appropriate Contractor personnel within defined time frames identified by the Government dependent on the immediate need. The Task Area Lead and assignee(s) are responsible to update the Archibus Work Request as tasks are completed or as otherwise defined by the Government.

If there is a need for emergency or urgent support, during a time when the COR or TAL is not available, contractor personnel may receive verbal requests from onsite Facilities Operations and/or Facilities Engineering management.

The Government will document prior verbal requests in Archibus as soon as practicable after the emergency or urgency has been addressed. Contractor TAL or delegate must process these requests within 48 hours of receipt.
