1.1 PURPOSE

A. The Contractor shall use GSA’s web-based electronic Project Management (ePM) system, which is a fully configured version of Meridian Systems’ Proliance Construction Management

Software. Click on this link for the ePM minimum requirements: http://www.gsa.gov/epm.

1.2 DEFINITION

A. ePM is a web-based project management tool which provides GSA’s Public Buildings Service with an automated workflow, collaboration, document management and project management solution to help manage GSA design and construction projects. ePM is integrated with GSA’s gBUILD (Green Building Upgrade Information Lifecycle Database ) to share project creation and data storage information.

1.3 PROJECT COLLABORATION AND DOCUMENTATION

A. General

1. The Contractor shall effectively manage the ePM database including maintaining adequate staffing levels and ensuring that personnel attend the mandatory GSA-provided training sessions.

2. The Contractor shall use ePM to upload, store, capture, preserve, record, maintain, update, and route all project-related documentation to comply with GSA's Document

Security Requirements. Classified material is not permitted to be stored in this system.

3. The Contractor shall use the workflow processes contained within ePM to submit and receive approval for all project deliverables.

4. The Contractor shall continuously monitor and review ePM to ensure the Contractor data is current through completion of the Close-out Phase of Construction.

5. The Contractor is required to store documents from their subcontractors and vendors in ePM. If a subcontractor or vendor does not obtain an ePM license, the contractor will be responsible for uploading and processing documents in ePM on their behalf.

B. Contents of ePM

1. The Contractor shall use ePM as the electronic filing cabinet for all project-related correspondence and submittals. The Contract Documents specify certain documentation that the Contractor shall provide during performance of the Contract. For the avoidance of doubt, and unless specifically stated otherwise in the Contract Documents, in addition to any documentation that the Contractor submits to GSA as set forth in the Contract

Documents. The current ePM Minimum Requirements can be found at:

B. ePM Training

1. GSA will provide no cost training to familiarize team members with the ePM system.

The GSA Project Manager will ensure that appropriate personnel should attend training and what roles they will be set up within the system based on their project responsibilities. GSA will determine if training is virtual or in-person.

C. ePM Support

1. GSA will provide ePM system administration and end user support, for the duration of the project.

1.6 PERSONNEL REQUIREMENTS

A. An HSPD-12 security clearance is required to access ePM. Project Team members without an

HSPD-12 clearance will need to work with the GSA Project Manager to initiate the clearance process, and request a temporary waiver for ePM access until clearance can be confirmed. A waiver means that once the individual’s HSPD-12 clearance is confirmed, an ePM username and password will be provided. For up to date GSA HSPD-12 information:

www.gsa.gov/hspd12. Obtaining clearances vary in length and may take time to receive them.

1.7 DATA OWNERSHIP

A. GSA shall retain ownership of all data entered into the system and shall administer all information contained therein. And distribution of any system data shall be made upon request.

1.8 DOCUMENT SECURITY

A. ePM security access levels ensure that sensitive documents can only be accessed by the appropriate personnel. It is the contractor’s responsibility to ensure their employees, subcontractors and vendors have the appropriate level of security to ensure document security.
