PART 1

GENERAL INFORMATION

1. General: This is a non-personal service contract under which the personnel rendering the services are not subject, either by the contract's terms or by the manner of its administration, to the supervision and control usually prevailing in relationships between the Government and its employees. The United States (U.S.) Government shall not exercise supervision or control over the Contractor's employees performing the tasks herein. Such contract employees shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn shall be responsible to the U.S. Government.

1.1. Description of Services/Introduction: This is a non-personal service(s) contract to provide maintenance and service of an integrated Electronic Security System (ESS) that consists of a Physical Access Control System (PACS), Intrusion Detection System (IDS), and Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) system for the Combined Arms Center and US Army Garrison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.

1.2. Existing Conditions: A list of all equipment to be maintained and serviced is in Attachment 3. The equipment in Attachment 3 is tabulated by customer and includes the complete equipment list. Fort Leavenworth currently uses a locally developed solution for Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Video Detection System. The central software solution is Manitou by BOLD Group. IDS equipment is based on DSC control equipment, SurGard IP receivers, and an AES Wireless Mesh system. The electronic access control solution is C-Cure 9000. Primary controllers are iSTAR ULTRA, PRO, EX, and EDGE with two factor Software House 4200 and IDFACTORS card readers. The CGSC is covered by a Lenel ACS system.

The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items necessary to perform services as described in the PWS and associated contract documents, except for those items specified in Part 3 Government Property and Services. The Contractor shall perform to the standards and acceptable quality levels identified in this PWS and associated contract documents.

1.3.1. Contractor shall make no public disclosures of work being performed under this contract or subsequently issued Task Orders.

1.3.2. Video and photographs shall only be taken while in possession of written authorization from the site. Any geotagging features such as Global Positioning System (GPS) or location recording shall be disabled prior to use. Contractor shall surrender any photographic equipment to the site security manager for review prior to departing the site. The Government reserves the right to delete photos deemed to contain sensitive data or images. Conversations and meetings shall not be recorded without expressed consent from all parties involved. Prior to completion of this task order, all video and photos taken shall be turned over to the Government with their associated negatives and all image files shall be deleted from the contractor's records. Digital photographs shall be submitted to the Government on compact discs or encrypted transmission in Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) format.

1.4. Objective(s): Provide qualified onsite technician (Fort Leavenworth M-F 0800 - 1600 Hours - except Federal Holidays) to provide maintenance and service of an integrated Electronic Security System (ESS) that consists of a Physical Access Control System (PACS), Intrusion Detection System (IDS), and Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) system to include proposals on ESS equipment that requires repair.

1.5. General Information:

1.5.1. Quality Control Plan (QCP): The Contractor is required to develop, maintain, and implement a Quality Control Plan (QCP) to ensure all services are performed in accordance with this Performance Work Statement (PWS). The QCP must include procedures to identify, prevent, and ensure the non-recurrence of defective services, serving as the contractor's primary method for guaranteeing compliance.

- The proposed QCP must be submitted to the Contracting Officer (KO), via the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR), within ten (10) days of the contract award. The Government will review the plan and provide written acceptance or comments within ten (10) days. If revisions are required, the Contractor will have five (5) days to submit a final QCP for acceptance.

- Any future changes to the accepted QCP must be submitted to the KO for review and acceptance at least thirty days before the proposed implementation date. The same review timeline will apply to all submitted changes.

1.5.2. Quality Assurance: The Government will perform QA of Contractor's performance under this contract using the method of surveillance specified in the Performance Requirements Summary (PRS), which defines how the performance standards will be applied, the frequency of surveillance, and the acceptable quality levels (performance thresholds).
