UPDATED STATEMENT OF WORK

STATEMENT OF WORK

KANSAS AIR NATIONAL GUARD, McCONNELL AFB PRQE222015 Repair Bldg 54 #2 CRAC Unit Revised 14 July 2022

SW-1 LOCATION: McCONNELL Air Force Base, Wichita, KS. Arrangements for entrance onto the Base must be made by contacting Base Engineering at (316) 759-7477 between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.

SW-2 SCOPE OF WORK: The work covered in this contract consists of furnishing all plant, labor, expertise, equipment, materials, facilities, transportation, and appliances necessary to perform operations in connection with the work described in paragraph SW-3. It is the intent of the government for the contractor to provide a complete and useable system. Any relevant details required for a complete system that are omitted in the contract plans and specifications will be provided by the Contractor at no cost to the government.

SW-3 SUMMARY OF WORK: Work shall consist of but is not limited to the following:

Task 1: Replace and reroute a portion of the existing copper refrigerant line sets on two existing 30 Ton Liebert Computer Room Air Conditioning (CRAC) Units. Each Liebert Unit has two R-22 refrigerant circuits each having approximately 120 pounds of refrigerant. Due to operational requirements of the server farm, only one circuit of one Liebert Unit can be down at a time. R-22 Freon can be recycled for #1 and #3 CRAC units if the acid content is acceptable, otherwise new Freon shall be used. If new refrigerant is needed, the KSANG will either provide the refrigerant or initiate a change order to purchase new refrigerant. CRAC-2 will be completely replaced with a new unit. Completely replace the refrigerant lines for the new CRAC-2 and charge the system. Each of the 6 existing line sets is comprised of one 1 inch line and one 1¼ inch line (see drawings for new and existing routing).

Replacement lines will use ACR copper piping and will be insulated with Rubatex insulation. Provide insulation blocks at pipe supports and aluminum jacket around exterior piping to protect insulation. There will be combination isolation/shraeder valves installed at the condenser end of the new portion of the line sets as well as isolation/shraeder valves installed on the linesets just outside the indoor unit (Evaporator) approximately 4 feet above the finished floor. The result will be two isolation/shraeder valves on each of the six lines. Include installation of replaceable filters and liquid line dryers and assemblies on all six circuits. Linesets will exit the building through the concrete precast wall at approximately 12 feet high. Lines will be supported by pipe stands or hangers keeping at least a 12 foot clearance above the ground until they reach the condensing units.

Note: The contractor will help ensure cooling to the server farm is maintainted during the performance of this work by only having one circuit of each CRAC unit down at a time. Air conditioning must be sufficient to keep the server farm continuously at 73 degrees +/- 2 degrees.

Task 2: Replace CRAC-2 in its intirety. The new unit will consist of an interior 30 Ton Precision Cooling System CRAC Unit with a new 30 Ton DX Air-Cooled Microchannel Condensing Unit. The new units will be installed in the same locations as the old interior/exterior systems. Due to the criticality of the server farm, it is critical the demolition of the existing CRAC only occur immediately prior to the installation of the new unit. Install combination isolation/shraeder valves at the condenser end of the line sets as well as just outside the indoor unit (Evaporator) approximately 4 feet above the finished floor.

It is understandable that there may be a long lead time on the new CRAC Unit. Tasks 1 can occur immediately after the Notice to Proceed is provided or wait until the new CRAC unit has been delivered.

Once work has started on replacing the refrigerant lines and removing the CRAC Unit, it shall be the contractors responsibility to assist the KSANG in ensuring the server farm temperature remains below 75 F by limiting the amount of time any one refrigerant circuit is down and also responding to issues related to the contract work in a timely manner. Upon request and in the event of an emergency, the KSANG will install and maintain a portable, trailer mounted 50 ton Roof Top Air Conditioning System. Also, Roughly 10 tons of building air can also be diverted to the server farm via the DDC controls as well. KSANG will service the existing CRAC Units to ensure function and respond to system failures 24/7/365. The contractor must be available in the event their work is causing the failure/issue leading to higher temperatures in the server farm.

** Workers in this classification may be entitled to a higher minimum wage under Executive Order 14026 ($15.00) or 13658 ($11.25). Please see the Note at the top of the wage determination for more information.

Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.

Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/government-contracts.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).

The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of ""identifiers"" that indicate whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local), a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate (weighted union average rate).

Union Rate Identifiers

A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than ""SU"" or ""UAVG"" denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example: PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union which prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1, 2014.

Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing this classification and rate.

Survey Rate Identifiers

Classifications listed under the ""SU"" identifier indicate that no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As this weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example:

SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a new survey is conducted.

Union Average Rate Identifiers

Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate that no single majority rate prevailed for those classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010 08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is based.

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be:

* an existing published wage determination

* a survey underlying a wage determination

* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter

* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling

On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour National Office because National Office has responsibility for the Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.) and 3.) should be followed.

With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:

Branch of Construction Wage Determinations Wage and Hour Division U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210
