STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

Air Station Ventura: Hoist Tower & Platform Modifications

1.0 BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

1.1 Background: The current hoist tower and deck platform design at USCG Air Station Ventura restricts training capabilities. The existing sharp decking damages equipment (e.g., rubber feet of dewatering pumps), the current handrail gate impedes easy access, and the hoist requires a powered winch assembly to replace the current slide mechanism to improve operational simulation. Please note that this is a brand new requisition; there is no incumbent contractor for these specific modifications.

1.2 Scope & Objective: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, transportation, tools, materials, and supervision necessary to perform structural and mechanical modifications to the hoist tower and platform. The objective is to deliver a fully functional, safe, and upgraded training tower platform by replacing the decking, upgrading the safety railing, and installing a new electric winch assembly to the I-beam of the hoist.

2.0 SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS & TASKS

The contractor shall address the following modifications on the tower platform. All dimensions, weight ratings, and placements must be verified on-site prior to execution.

2.1 Itemized List of Work:

Item 1: Decking Replacement & Anchor Points: Remove the current sharp grating/decking. Install new, durable, slip-resistant decking that is smooth enough to prevent damage to equipment with rubber feet. Install several deck rings/anchor points for an Atlas device (aircraft hoist) and personal edge limiting devices (gunners belts). Each anchor point must be rated for a minimum of 600 lbs. Exact placement of the pad eyes will be determined on-site using standard aircraft measurements and coordinated with the unit Point of Contact (POC).

Item 2: Railing Modification: Remove the long handrail across from the ladder access point. Replace the current gate with a two-chain safety barrier system to allow for a clearer operational pathway.

Item 3: Electric Winch Assembly: Remove the current slide mechanism on the hoist's I-beam. Fabricate and add a fixed eye to the I-beam and install a standard 110v electric winch assembly.

2.2 Safety and OSHA Adherence:

The contractor shall adhere to all applicable Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations and standards during the execution of this contract. The contractor is responsible for ensuring a safe working environment for all personnel and preventing any hazards to government property and staff.

3.0 CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL & QUALIFICATIONS

3.1 General Qualifications: All structural modifications and electrical work must be performed by certified and licensed professionals.

3.2 Welder Certifications: Any personnel performing welding or structural fabrication must possess valid, current certifications from the American Welding Society (AWS) or an equivalent recognized industry body applicable to the specific types of welds required for this project. Copies of these certifications must be available upon request.

3.3 Base Access: Contractor personnel must comply with all facility security requirements and maintain a professional demeanor. All personnel must have a REAL ID Act-compliant form of identification to enter the facility.

4.2 Place of Performance: USCG Air Station Ventura, 190 3rd ST, NAS Point Mugu, CA 93042.

4.3 Hours of Operation: Normal business hours are 0700 to 1600, Monday through Friday, excluding Federal Holidays. Facility power disruptions must be coordinated with the Facility Manager at least 72 hours in advance.

5.0 FURNISHED RESOURCES & PROPERTY

5.1 Government Furnished Resources: The Government will provide site access and existing 110v utilities required for the new electric winch.

5.2 Contractor Furnished Property: The contractor shall furnish everything required to perform this SOW, including decking materials, safety chains, the 110v electric winch assembly, and anchor rings. The contractor is responsible for the daily removal and legal disposal of all construction debris and demolished metal. Government dumpsters shall not be used.

6.0 INSPECTION, WEIGHT TEST, & ACCEPTANCE

6.1 Weight Test: Upon completion of the installation, the contractor shall conduct a certified weight and load-test of the new anchor points (verifying the minimum 600 lbs rating per point) and the electric winch assembly in the presence of the Government POC. A weight test certification is required.

6.2 Acceptance Period: Following the joint walkthrough and weight test, the Government will have five (5) business days to inspect the modifications and issue a "Punch List." Final acceptance occurs when the Contracting Officer (KO) and Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) confirms all punch list items are resolved.

7.0 WARRANTY

The contractor shall provide a standard commercial warranty for all materials and workmanship provided under this SOW. The warranty period shall be a minimum of one (1) year from the date of final Government acceptance. During this period, the contractor agrees to repair or replace any defective components, decking, structural welds, or winch mechanics at no additional cost to the Government.

10.0 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS (PROPOSAL SUBMISSION)

To be considered for award, offerors must submit the following as part of their response to the SAM.gov solicitation to the Contracting Officer (KO): Mr. Ryan H. King (ryan.h.king2@uscg.mil)

10.1 Technical Approach: A detailed narrative outlining the proposed methodology for completing the hoist tower modifications. This must include the sequence of work, specifications for the proposed materials (e.g., decking product data, winch specifications), safety plans for OSHA adherence, and the methodology for safely executing the 600 lbs anchor point weight testing.

10.2 Total Cost Breakdown: A comprehensive, itemized pricing sheet. Offerors must provide a clear breakdown of costs including, but not limited to: labor, materials (decking, winch assembly, anchor points, safety chains), equipment, and any indirect costs. The following labor rate determination will be used: Davis-Bacon Act WD # CA20260015 (https://sam.gov/wage-determination/CA20260015/4)

10.3 Past Performance: Provide a minimum of two (2) to three (3) references for recent, relevant projects (completed within the last 5 years) that demonstrate the offeror's capability in structural metal fabrication, structural welding, and hoist/winch installations.

11.0 EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

IAW FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services. The Government intends to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose proposal represents the best overall value to the Government, utilizing a tradeoff process that evaluates price and non-price factors. The evaluation will be based on the following factors:

Factor 1 - Technical Approach: The Government will evaluate the offeror's understanding of the work, feasibility of the proposed approach, safety methodologies, and compliance with the SOW specifications.

Factor 2 - Past Performance: The Government will evaluate the offeror's track record of successful, high-quality performance on similar structural and mechanical modification projects.

Factor 3 - Price: Evaluated for fairness, reasonableness, and completeness. Price will be evaluated against the Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE) and the establishment of the competitive range once all bids are received and the solicitation period is closed.

(Note: Factors 1 and 2, when combined, are significantly more important than Price. The Government reserves the right to award to a higher-priced offeror if their technical capability and past performance represent a better overall value and lower risk to the Government).
