STATEMENT OF WORK

1.0 GENERAL:

1.1. Purpose: This Statement of Work (SOW) defines the requirements for electroplating rectifers for the metal finishing operations at Corpus Christi Army Depot (CCAD).

1.2 Background: The current rectifiers which will be replaced in the Advanced Metal Finishing Facility (AMFF) have been in use since at least 2009 with two of the rectifiers in service since 2003.

The expected useful life for these rectifiers is 10 years so they are well beyond their recommended replacement date. Additionally, the rectifiers are, in many cases, oversized for the actual plating operations that are performed and also utilize older rectifier technology (silicon controlled rectification) which is not as precise as newer technology such as switch mode rectification.

1.3 Completion Date: The Contractor shall deliver the rectifiers within twelve (12) months from contract award.

1.4. Operational procedures:

1.4.1. Recognized federal holidays: the following is a list of federal holidays. The Contractor shall not deliver or conduct installation on these days or their federally recognized observance days unless required by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) or the Contracting Officer (KO).

New Year’s Day Martin Luther King Jr’s Birthday President’s Day Memorial Day Juneteenth Independence Day Labor Day Columbus Day Veteran’s Day Thanksgiving Day Christmas Day

1.4.2. CCAD Closure: CCAD may schedule a shutdown period of approximately 40 working hours between Christmas Day and New Year’s Day holiday. CCAD may schedule a shutdown period at other times. The Contractor shall comply with administrative closing procedures for CCAD.

Announcements of closures will be made through the KO and COR.

1.4.3. CCAD Core Hours: Core hours of operation at CCAD are Monday through Thursday from 0800 to 1630, except on United States holidays or when the Government facility/installation is closed due to local or national emergencies, administrative closings, or similar Government directed facility/installation closings.
