SECTION C – PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT / DRAWINGS

1. Project Name - Construct partitions and enclosures in the Tight Isolation Building at the National Wildlife Health Center in Madison, WI.

2. Conditions- partitions and enclosures will be installed indoors. The Facility is accessible from 8am to 5:30 pm.

3. Background- The National Wildlife Health Center (NWHC) is a science center within the Department of the Interior, US Geological Survey. Built on a 24-acre campus, the office and laboratories consist of two buildings (the Tight Isolation Building and the Milton Friend Building). NWHC requires the construction and installation of fenced enclosures to protect equipment and fenced partitions to divide interior rooms in the Animal Isolation Wing of the Tight Isolation Building. Rooms are constructed with block walls and epoxy finished concrete floors.

4. Delivery or performance period- 150 days from Notice to Proceed date.

5. Scope- The scope of this project includes the installation of one enclosure and one partition in each of six rooms (six total enclosures and six total partitions).

6. Environmental Laws/Policies- N/A

7. Drawing, Designs, Specifications- Enclosures and partitions shall be constructed from materials with enhanced corrosion resistance versus standard bare galvanized fencing. For example, acceptable materials would include stainless steel, vinyl-coated galvanized steel, or powder-coated galvanized steel. Enclosures and partitions shall be installed to fit. Gates shall be installed where suitable. All penetrations into the floor or walls shall be sealed with white ASTM C920 silicon sealant. Provided dimensions are plus or minus one inch. All dimensions are external and inclusive of space required for any post, fastener, or bracket.

Partitions run linearly from wall to wall and are each 109 inches in length. The partition divides the room into two sections. Each linear partition segment shall include a gate. Partition fences shall be 6-feet tall and shall contain top and bottom rails. Six partitions are required, one in each room.

Enclosures are created from L-shaped fencing runs and the walls in a corner of the room. Each L-shaped enclosure shall contain a gate. Enclosure fences shall be 6 feet tall and shall contain top and bottom rails.

Six enclosures are required, one per room. The dimensions of the L-shaped fencing runs are:

Room 1 66” x 30” Room 2 48” x 30” Room 3 48” x 30” Room 4 36” x 30” Room 5 30” x 30” Room 6 30” x 30”

Figure. Example of installation of enclosure and partition in room. Not to scale. Fencing segments are shown in green. No gates are shown in the figure; however, each partition and each enclosure will require a gate. Each of the six rooms is similar to the figure. The other rooms are reflections or rotations.

Each of the six rooms will need a 109” Partition. Each room will also need an L-shaped enclosure that is 30” deep and between and 30-66” wide.

Photo of pipes that need to be enclosed.

All work shall be conducted under the general direction of the Contracting Officer and is subject to Government inspection and test at all places and at all reasonable times before acceptance to ensure strict compliance with the terms of the contract.

(1) Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for providing adequate quality control measures;

(2) Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for damage to or loss of the material before acceptance;

(3) Constitute or imply acceptance; or

(4) Affect the continuing rights of the Government after acceptance of the completed work under paragraph (i) of this section.

(d) The presence or absence of a Government inspector does not relieve the Contractor from any contract requirement, nor is the inspector authorized to change any term or condition of the specification without the Contracting Officer’s written authorization.

(e) The Contractor shall promptly furnish, at no increase in contract price, all facilities, labor, and material reasonably needed for performing such safe and convenient inspections and tests as may be required by the Contracting Officer. The Government may charge to the Contractor any additional cost of inspection or test when work is not ready at the time specified by the Contractor for inspection or test, or when prior rejection makes reinspection or retest necessary. The Government shall perform all inspections and tests in a manner that will not unnecessarily delay the work. Special, full size, and performance tests shall be performed as described in the contract.

(f) The Contractor shall, without charge, replace or correct work found by the Government not to conform to contract requirements, unless in the public interest the Government consents to accept the work with an appropriate adjustment in contract price. The Contractor shall promptly segregate and remove rejected material from the premises.

(g) If the Contractor does not promptly replace or correct rejected work, the Government may—

(1) By contract or otherwise, replace or correct the work and charge the cost to the Contractor; or

(2) Terminate for default the Contractor’s right to proceed.

(h) If, before acceptance of the entire work, the Government decides to examine already completed work by removing it or tearing it out, the Contractor, on request, shall promptly furnish all necessary facilities, labor, and material. If the work is found to be defective or nonconforming in any material respect due to the fault of the Contractor or its subcontractors, the Contractor shall defray the expenses of the examination and of satisfactory reconstruction. However, if the work is found to meet contract requirements, the Contracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment for the additional services involved in the examination and reconstruction, including, if completion of the work was thereby delayed, an extension of time.

(i) Unless otherwise specified in the contract, the Government shall accept, as promptly as practicable after completion and inspection, all work required by the contract or that portion of the work the Contracting Officer determines can be accepted separately. Acceptance shall be final and conclusive except for latent defects, fraud, gross mistakes amounting to fraud, or the Government’s rights under any warranty or guarantee.

The time stated for completion shall include final cleanup of the premises.

(End of clause)

52.211-13 Time Extensions (Sept 2000)

Time extensions for contract changes will depend upon the extent, if any, by which the changes cause delay in the completion of the various elements of construction. The change order granting the time extension may provide that the contract completion date will be extended only for those specific elements related to the changed work and that the remaining contract completion dates for all other portions of the work will not be altered. The change order also may provide an equitable readjustment of liquidated damages under the new completion schedule.

(End of clause)

52.242-14 SUSPENSION OF WORK (APR 1984)

(a) The Contracting Officer may order the Contractor, in writing, to suspend, delay, or interrupt all or any part of the work of this contract for the period of time that the Contracting Officer determines appropriate for the convenience of the Government.

(b) If the performance of all or any part of the work is, for an unreasonable period of time, suspended, delayed, or interrupted (1) by an act of the Contracting Officer in the administration of this contract, or

(2) by the Contracting Officer’s failure to act within the time specified in this contract (or within a reasonable time if not specified), an adjustment shall be made for any increase in the cost of performance of this contract (excluding profit) necessarily caused by the unreasonable suspension, delay, or interruption, and the contract modified in writing accordingly. However, no adjustment shall be made under this clause for any suspension, delay, or interruption to the extent that performance would have been so suspended, delayed, or interrupted by any other cause, including the fault or negligence of the Contractor, or for which an equitable adjustment is provided for or excluded under any other term or condition of this contract.

(c) A claim under this clause shall not be allowed—

(1) For any costs incurred more than 20 days before the Contractor shall have notified the

Contracting Officer in writing of the act or failure to act involved (but this requirement shall not apply as to a claim resulting from a suspension order); and
