PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

Nimbus Powerplant Underwater Debris Removal Services

1.0 BACKGROUND

Nimbus Powerplant is located at the northern end of Nimbus Dam with the Sacramento State Aquatic Center located on the south side of Nimbus Dam from Hazel avenue. The two power generating units at Nimbus Powerplant have been adversely affected that past 4 years due to an accumulation of wood debris in and around the intakes to the power units. The power unit intakes are protected by trashracks that prevent significant debris from entering the turbines. However, the trashracks/screens are easily clogged because of debris which has accumulated and subject to being pulled up against the trash racks.

This has resulted in shutting down the power units on many occasions due to inadequate flows and has resulted in a significant loss of revenue. While Reclamation has utilized our forces to remove debris from the trashracks, our portable crane cannot reach areas of debris accumulation subject to being pulled up against the trashracks. Additionally, a 2018 dive report documents wood debris that has accumulated and is stuck in the trashracks that we’ve been unable to clear.

Please see the following aerial link:

OGR Onsite Government Representative PWS Performance Work Statement

2.0 SCOPE OF WORK

Provide commercial dive services at Nimbus Powerplant unit trashracks and enclosed apron area and remove and dispose of debris. The primary underwater scope is removal of submerged debris at the trashracks and at the 100’ square apron area enclosed by an underwater wall in front of the trashracks.

Once this primary scope is completed, other surrounding areas may be considered for debris removal as coordinated by the COR and Contractor. Remove and dispose of debris up against and within the existing buoy line. Dive and debris removal is limited to in around the upstream side of Nimbus Powerplant and existing buoy line.

The Prime Contractor shall be a commercial dive contractor and provide the services stated herein. In addition to the debris removal, an ½” pipe that facilitates measurement of the forebay elevation may be clogged. The dive team shall investigate and clear any obstructions as applicable and feasible. Location of the ½” pipe is at elevation 98’ and just north of the Unit 1 trashrack. See attached drawings and/or consult with COR as necessary. The Contractor shall provide underwater videos before and after debris is removed at the trash racks and enclosed apron area. The video shall also include any significant findings such as built-up debris on or near the exterior of the underwater wall, or as the apron slopes up to the north side of powerplant. Also, note and record any obvious damage such as to the trash racks.

The enclosed and flat apron area in front of the trash racks is approximately 100’ square with an underwater wall at an elevation of 105’ as shown on drawing 485-D-397.

The dive master or designated Contractor Representative shall communicate any significant findings to the COR during the dive as feasible. All debris shall be disposed of offsite. Reclamation shall be responsible for outages of the power units and any spill gates in the vicinity to ensure the safety of the dive team.

The Contractor shall be expected to conduct underwater operations to a depth of approximately 50 feet of fresh water (based on Reclamation maintaining a surface elevation (msl) between 121 -125’ and a concrete apron located at an elevation of 79’ as depicted on drawing 485-D-397. The Commercial Dive Contractor shall be prepared for extended dive durations, but not outside the no-decompression limits using approved commercial diving practices, procedures, equipment, and trained and experience diver personnel who shall have completed a recognized course in commercial diving. Temperature of the water at the surface is expected to be 45 - 650F depending on the time of year. Contractor shall furnish all labor, supervision, equipment, boats, parts, materials, and incidentals necessary (except as noted in the Government-Furnished Property and Responsibilities section of this PWS) in performing the work described above and elsewhere in this PWS.

An excerpt from the attached “2018 Nimbus Dive Report” follows:

There are two units on the powerplant. The intakes, located on the right side of the dam, are each covered with trashrack structures, 16 feet high and 41 feet wide. Large amounts of woody debris are present on both intake trashracks. This woody debris typically consists of 3 to 12-inch diameter logs and branches, with a layer of up to 3 feet thick resting against the trashrack bars. On Unit 2, the upper 9 feet of the rack is clear on the left side, decreasing to the upper 3 feet clear on the right side.

This results in only 37 percent of the rack being clear of debris. On Unit 1, the bottom half of the rack is completely covered with woody debris. The left half of the upper part of the rack is approximately

20 percent covered, and the right half of the upper rack is nearly 100 percent clear. This results in approximately 45 percent of the rack being clear of debris. The concrete floor upstream of the powerplant intakes is nearly completely clear of debris. The concrete is in good condition, with less than 1/4 inch of relief throughout. There is a deflector wall in the area upstream of the intakes that is also in good condition. No damage was noted to the wall. Three concrete anchors for the missing surface buoys were located on the upstream side of the wall. Cables or chains long enough to attach to a surface buoy were not found on the anchors.

Also see report for photos 22- 24 showing trashracks and debris. A large portion of this report should be ignored as most of the report does not pertain. A maximum of five days is expected on site and considerable improvement is expected if all debris cannot be removed within this time frame. Should the onsite work take less than 5 days, the Contractor shall invoice for only the actual time on site.

Access to the site is available from Sacramento State Aquatic Center and through a gate via access on the American River Bike Trail on the north side of Nimbus Powerplant. Adjacent to Nimbus Powerplant is an area where the contractor can deploy their boat and dive team, or from the Aquatic Center as determined practicable.

DOI-AAAP-0050 Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (Dec 2015)

a. FAR 42.1502 directs all Federal agencies to collect past performance information on contracts. The Department of the Interior (DOI) has implemented the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to comply with this regulation. One or more past performance evaluations will be conducted in order to record your contract performance as required by FAR 42.15.

b. The past performance evaluation process is a totally paperless process using CPARS. CPARS is a web-based system that allows for electronic processing of the performance evaluation report. Once the report is processed, it is available in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) for Government use in evaluating past performance as part of a source selection action.

c. We request that you furnish the Contracting Officer (CO) with the name, position title, phone number, and email address for each person designated to have access to your firm's past performance evaluation(s) for the contract no later than 30 days after award. Each person granted access will have the ability to provide comments in the Contractor portion of the report and state whether or not the Contractor agrees with the evaluation, before returning the report to the Assessing Official (AO).

Information in the report must be protected as source selection sensitive information not releasable to the public.

d. When your Contractor Representative(s) are registered in CPARS, they will receive an automatically generated email with detailed login instructions. Further details, systems requirements, and training information for CPARS is available at https://www.cpars.gov/.

e. Within 60 days after the end of a performance period, the AO will complete an interim or final past performance evaluation, and the report will be accessible at https://www.cpars.gov/.

1. Contractor Representatives may then provide comments in response to the evaluation, or return the evaluation without comment.

2. Your comments should focus on objective facts in the AO's narrative and should provide your views on the causes and ramifications of the assessed performance.

3. All information provided should be reviewed for accuracy prior to submission.

4. If you elect not to provide comments, please acknowledge receipt of the evaluation by indicating No comment in the space provided, and then selecting “Accept the Ratings and Close the Evaluation”.

5. Your response is due within 60 calendar days after receipt of the CPAR. On day 15, the evaluation will become available in PPIRS-RC marked as “Pending” with or without comments and whether or not it mailto:supplyserviceinvoice@usbr.gov has been closed.

6. If you do not sign and submit the CPAR within 60 days, it will automatically be returned to the Government and will be annotated: -The report was delivered/received by the contractor on (date). The contractor neither signed nor offered comment in response to this assessment.-

f. The following guidelines apply concerning your use of the past performance evaluation:

1. Protect the evaluation as source selection information. After review, transmit the evaluation by completing and submitting the form through CPARS. If for some reason you are unable to view and/or submit the form through CPARS, contact the CO for instructions.

2. Strictly control access to the evaluation within your organization. Ensure the evaluation is never released to persons or entities outside of your control.

3. Prohibit the use of or reference to evaluation data for advertising, promotional material, pre-award surveys, responsibility determinations, production readiness reviews, or other similar purposes.

g. If you wish to discuss a past performance evaluation, you should request a meeting in writing to the CO no later than seven days following your receipt of the evaluation. The meeting will be held in person or via telephone or other means during your 60-day review period.

h. A copy of the completed past performance evaluation will be available in CPARS for your viewing and for Government use supporting source selection actions after it has been finalized.

(a) General Security Requirements:

(1) This clause addresses security requirements, including general procedural requirements, information security requirements, contractor employee suitability requirements, identification card requirements, site security requirements, vessel exclusion barriers, and information technology security requirements.

Within this clause, COR means Contracting Officer's Representative. If there is no COR appointed and identified to the Contractor, the term instead will mean the Program Manager or any other authorized individual responsible for technical oversight under the contract. “Work site” means the Government facility, office, construction site, and any other area within the Government office or facility that the Contractor must access to accomplish work under this contract.

(2) The work performed under this contract shall only be accomplished by individuals (in the employment of the Contractor or any subcontractors) whose conduct and behavior is consistent with the efficiency of the Federal Service and the requirements of this contract, and who are acceptable to the CO. If Reclamation finds a Contractor employee to be unsuitable or unfit for his or her assigned duties, the CO will direct the Contractor to remove the individual from the contract and access to the Federal facility at which the contract activities are occurring.

(3) The Contractor’s employees governed by this contract may need access to sensitive information and/or sensitive areas. The Federal Government (Government) reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine suitability of Contractor personnel and deny access to any sensitive information or project specific area to any personnel for any cause.

(4) The Contractor is responsible for informing and ensuring compliance by its employees with any applicable security procedures of the Government facility where work may be performed under this contract.

(5) Any Contractor employee that will have access to a Federally-controlled facility or information system will be required to have a Government-issued identification card, consisting of a Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Card, a temporary identification card, or a visitor badge. (Note: within the Department of the Interior this card is known as a DOI Access Card.) During performance of the contract, the Contractor shall keep the COR apprised of any changes in personnel, or changes in personnel access or duration, to ensure that performance is not delayed by compliance with credentialing processes.

(6) A Contractor employee will not be provided access to a Government facility or information system until a Government PIV Card, temporary identification card, or visitor identification badge has been issued to the Contractor employee. For those individuals that will be receiving a PIV Card, the Government may, at its discretion, issue a temporary identification card or visitor identification badge after the electronic background investigation forms have been received and the investigation is initiated.

(7) All Contractor employees shall access the facility via the facility’s entry screening system and visibly display the Government-issued PIV Card, temporary identification card, or visitor identification badge at all times. Contractor employees must visibly wear the Government-issued identification card at all times they are on Government facilities.

Cards that have been lost, damaged, or stolen must be reported to the COR and DOI Access Sponsor within 24 hours. The Contractor shall return all identification cards and card keys and any other Government property and information upon completion of performance or when personnel depart permanently or for a period of 7 days or more.

The Contractor may be required to turn in access control cards or identification cards on a daily basis.

(8) Misuse or loss of access control or identification cards, or failure to comply with required surrender of such cards may, at Government discretion, result in Contractor personnel being denied access to the work site, at no cost to Government. The Contractor may be charged up to $500 for each occurrence for any required replacement of Government-issued access control or identification cards due to loss or misuse. At the end of contract performance, or when a Contractor employee is no longer working under this contract, the Contractor shall ensure that all access control and identification cards are returned to the COR.
