PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

III.1 BACKGROUND/PURPOSE

DLA Disposition Services has the responsibility of disposing and reutilizing surplus US Department of Defense

(DOD) property. DLA Disposition Services receives surplus personal property from DOD activities. In pertinent

SF 1449 ADDENDA

regulations, e.g. see III.6, this can be referred to as ―foreign excess personal property‖, but it is surplus property from

US DOD activities performed outside of the U.S. DLA Disposition Services seeks to accomplish the following:

(1) Redistribute this surplus property to other DOD activities (Reutilization); (2) Transfer the property to other Federal

Agencies; (3) Donate the property to authorized Donees; and (4) Sell surplus property to the public as required by the

Federal Property Management Regulations (FPMR). DLA Disposition Services Kuwait supports the Central

Command (CENTCOM) Area of Responsibility (AOR). To support the DLA Disposition Services mission to dispose of DOD Surplus/Surplus property in the CENTCOM AOR requires a workforce with certain skills for excess property management and office support to allow the facility to work in a safe, efficient and user friendly manner.

III.2 SCOPE OF WORK

The contractor shall provide non-personal services to support DLA Disposition Services Kuwait as required by this PWS. The contractor will perform a variety of tasks relating to the control and accountability of items from receiving property through reutilization, transfer, donation (RTD), or other disposal action.

Based upon current workload projections, experience at the site and skills required, the Government estimates that the following number of contractor personnel will be needed at DLA Disposition Services Kuwait performing the work as required by this PWS:

120 - 141 Personnel: 1 Site Leader, 10 Supervisors, 25 - 35 Material Handling Equipment (MHE) Operators, 35

– 45 Torch Cutters, 25 – 35 Laborers, 10 – 15 Customer Service Clerks and Administrative Assistants.

III.3 GENERAL

III.6 and other applicable contract terms. Training to be conducted will include, but may not be limited to:

DEMIL classroom, Property Accounting and Basic Operations. Further training of contractor personnel will be then performed by the contractor. The Government may provide further training on a case by case basis. The

Government will also provide standard operating procedures as necessary to enable the contractor to perform the contract without relatively continuous supervision by the Government.

III.3.1.12 Transition. The first 30 days after the date of award is for transition to prepare the contractor for full performance. The transition period is for the contractor to hire the workforce, obtain badges and access for contractor personnel to Camp Arifjan, and familiarize themselves with DLA Disposition Services Kuwait operations and the tasks they will be required to perform under the contract. During the transition period the contractor may observe or ‗shadow‘ employees performing the tasks required under this contract. DLA

Disposition Services Kuwait personnel will also be available to meet with the contractor as needed to prepare the contractor for full performance after the transition period. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Contracting

Officer, the contractor will not be allowed to perform any of the tasks in III.6 for training purposes during transition. If the contractor is provided approval to perform III.6 tasks during this period, it will be at no additional cost to the Government.

III.3.2. CONTRACT MANAGER

SF 1449 ADDENDA

III.3.2.1 The contractor shall assign a contract manager and an alternate contract manager to the contract. The contractor shall provide their names and telephone numbers to the COR. The contract manager or their alternate must be available during working hours and return any calls made by the COR within one hour of the COR‘s call.

Therefore, the contractor must provide the COR with a means to leave a message with the contract manager and their alternate requesting a return call.

III.3.2.2 The contract manager and his alternate shall have full authority to act for the contractor on all contract matters relating to the operation of this contract; e.g., all contract arrangements and required coordination. The contractor agrees that notice by the US Government to the designated contract manager or alternate contract manager shall constitute notice to the contractor and agrees to be bound by any commitments or representations made by the employees so designated.

III.3.2.3 The contract manager and alternate contract manager must be able to read, write, speak, and understand

English proficiently, as well as be able to actively participate in English conversations concerning technical issues associated with this contract. All correspondence related to this contract shall be in the English language. If the correspondence contains official documents in languages other than English, they shall be accompanied by an English language translation. Permits or extracts must also be translated. All costs incident thereto are the responsibility of the contractor and shall be borne by the contractor.

III.3.3 CONTRACTING OFFICER’S REPRESENTATIVE (COR)

III.3.3.1 The COR for this project will be appointed by the DLA Disposition Services Contracting Officer (CO) prior to commencement of performance. The COR is responsible for monitoring contractor performance, providing technical interpretation of the requirements of the contract and acts under the authority of the CO. In no event, however, shall any understanding or agreement, modification, change order, or other matter deviating from the terms of the subject contract between the contractor any person other than the CO be effective or binding upon the

Government, unless formalized by proper contractual documents executed by the CO prior to completion of this contract. The COR will not interfere with the contractor‘s rights and ability to properly perform contract requirements.

III.3.3.2 On all matters concerning changes to contract terms, the contractor shall contact the CO. When, in the opinion of the contractor, the COR requests effort outside the existing scope of the contract, the contractor shall promptly notify the CO in writing. The contractor shall take no action unless and until the CO advises the contractor to proceed and points out the requirement in the contract or the CO issues a contract modification to the contractor.

III.3.4 TRAVEL

Contractor personnel will not be required to travel outside the perimeter fence of DLA Disposition Services Kuwait to meet mission requirements. Work being performed on-site is a result of security concerns regarding demil- and mutilation-required property and the role of Camp Kuwait as an AOR hub for military operations and the resultant consolidation of excess military equipment.

III.3.5 TRANSPORTATION

Transportation of the workers and associated costs will be the responsibility of the contractor.

III.3.6 WORK HOURS

DLA Disposition Services Kuwait is a 16-hour/7-day per week operation. This will require shift work consisting of two staggered 9-hour days with staggered 1-hour unpaid lunches that allow for continuous, uninterrupted DLA

Disposition Services Kuwait operations. The shifts shall be 0600 – 1500 and 1300 – 2200. When the Government determines a requirement for an additional shift to go up to a 24-hour operation or split-shift coverage, then the

Government will exercise the appropriate optional CLINS, Additional Shift, via issuance of a contract modification.

Each one (1) month use of this CLIN is considered its own one (1) month option, with the Government having the unilateral right to issue a maximum of up to six (6) of these Additional Shift options during the applicable 12-month period of performance, though not necessarily on a continuous basis (e.g. it could be ordered in the second month of the period, then the fifth and sixth months, etc., provided not more than six (months) are exercised during the 12-month period). Optional CLINs would require the additional personnel to complete a third 9-hour shift within a 24-hour day. Under optional CLINs, the contractor shall provide additional shift personnel within 14 calendar days of the issuance of a contract modification stipulating the period of performance and hours for work to be performed.

Based upon current workload projections, experience at the site and skills required, the Government estimates that the following number of contractor personnel will be needed at DLA Disposition Services Kuwait performing the work as required by this PWS for the additional shift, if ordered:

30 – 40 Personnel: 2 Supervisors, 6 – 9 Material Handling Equipment (MHE) Operators, 3 – 7 Torch Cutters, 6 – 9

Acceptable performance levels (APLs) are the minimum performance levels of specific requirements that the contractor must achieve or risks having the Government consider performance unsatisfactory, resulting in monetary consideration from the contractor. Specification of an acceptable performance level below 100% does not allow the contractor to knowingly provide defective service, but sometimes occurs unintentionally.

However, the contractor shall be required to correct the defective service at no additional cost to the Government. All work required by the contract is subject to surveillance whether or not specifically identified. Performance incentives for the contractor shall include, but are not limited to: favorable impact on option exercise decisions, and future awards for the same or similar requirements by DLA Disposition Services as well as other Government and non-Government entities that may review performance of this contract.

III.8 PERFORMANCE EVALUATION

III.8.1 The Government will use a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) to monitor compliance with contract terms and conditions, identifying nonconforming services to determine appropriate action under FAR 52.212-4. This plan sets forth the method and manner by which the Government intends to conduct surveillance of work under the contract, and is subject to unilateral change by the Government without modification to the contract. All requirements of the contract are subject to surveillance whether or not specifically included in the plan.

III.8.2 The COR shall provide the Contracting Officer monthly performance reports within 20 calendar days after the end of the monthly payment period. The report must cover all contract requirements in relation to the APLs.

III.9 PAYMENT REDUCTION FOR PERFORMANCE AT LESS THAN THE ACCEPTABLE

PERFORMANCE LEVELS FOR SPECIFIED STANDARDS

III.9.1 This clause sets forth the performance evaluation and payment reduction process for performance at less than the APLs for specified standards. It implements FAR 52.212-4(a), Inspection/Acceptance (See IV.1). Nothing in this clause prevents the Government from taking reductions for performance that does not meet APLs, pursuant to the authority set forth in FAR 52.212-4.

SF 1449 ADDENDA

III.9.2 The APL chart contains the standards that are considered most critical to performance that will be inspected regularly at DLA Disposition Services Kuwait and will be subject to the price reductions of this clause. However, nothing in this clause relieves the contractor of the responsibility to comply with all requirements of the contract specified in the contract or should be construed as preventing the Government from taking administrative action to ensure performance complies with all contract requirements.

III.9.2.1 Government Quality Assurance. The Government will assess the contractor‘s performance by comparing it to the applicable APLs as listed in III.7. This assessment will be accomplished on a monthly basis.

III.9.2.2 Performance Evaluation. The awarded contract pricing is the method of payment by the Government for the contractor to meet the requirements of the contract to include the levels of service within the specified APLs. For the

APLs, a timeliness or quality error occurs when the contractor does not meet the specific standard. If the errors caused by the contractor‘s performance results in noncompliance with a monthly APL contained in III.7 of this contract, the applicable price reductions listed in the APL chart will be invoked to compute the reduction of payment.

The Government grants a one-time 1-month grace period before exercising this clause.

III.9.2.3 While the Government may accept a reduced level of services at a reduced price, doing so shall not impair the Government‘s right to terminate for cause at any time. Any decision by the Contracting Officer to not enforce the payment reduction shall not be considered a waiver of the Government‘s right to subsequently enforce the payment reduction clause or take such other administrative actions as may be deemed in the Government‘s best interests.
