ARMAMENT RETOOLING & MANUFACTURING SUPPORT (ARMS)

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

(DIRECT)

1. INTRODUCTION:

1.1. Purpose: The Armament Retooling and Manufacturing Support (ARMS) Program is a Congressionally-mandated defense conversion/commercial reuse program established in 1993 (10 USC 4551-4555, “ARMS Initiative”) to reduce Government-ownership costs at the Government-Owned, Contractor-Operated (GOCO) Army Ammunition Plants/Depots while maintaining a readiness capability and to reduce the impact of defense downsizing on local communities. Through allowing the use of facilities for ARMS efforts, the Army reduces overhead, product, and installation ownership costs while providing a means for the Facility Contractor (herein also referred to as “Contractor”) to reduce its costs and increase its revenue.

1.2. Applicable Documents:

1.2.1. JMC Regulation 715-7 (Third Party Facility Use Agreement)

1.2.2. ARMS Initiative 10 U.S.C. 4551-4555

1.3. Contractor Requirements: The Contractor shall be authorized to use the facility for commercial, non-Government, Government, third party, or tenant use in compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 45 and the ARMS Initiative. In no instance shall the approval of use of facilities within the guidelines of this scope be considered an extension of the basic facility contract. To participate in the ARMS Program and use the facilities in support of third party work, the Contractor shall:

1.3.1. Encourage and execute the commercial reuse of the facility.

1.3.2. Actively market the capabilities of the facilities and equipment at the facility.

1.3.3. Track, maintain, and report, as required, records of costs, revenues (to include product cost reductions, cost offsets and overhead reductions), jobs created, and benefits to the Army resulting from commercial sales and tenant use activities at the facility.

1.3.4. Encourage private sector to leverage available Federal, State, and local Government resources to achieve the goals and objectives of the ARMS Initiative.

1.3.5. Develop and execute land/property uses supporting the ARMS Initiative and surrounding communities.

1.4. Definitions: Refer to Appendix A.

2. ARMS TENANT USE AGREEMENT AUTHORIZATION:

2.1. The Contractor shall make a request to the Government for the approval to use Government property by tenants or third parties. Approval for such use shall not be construed as an extension of the facility contract. The approval for each use shall stand as a separate agreement entered into under the authority of the facility contract, allowing use of those facilities specifically identified in the separate agreement for the specified period.

2.2. The execution of each TUA extension/option is dependent upon receipt of written authorization from the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO). The Contractor shall submit a proposal to exercise a TUA extension/option, or any other TUA extension proposal, at least one hundred twenty (120) days prior to expiration of the existing TUA. In the case where the current approved usage period is a year or less in duration, then the Contractor shall submit a proposal to exercise a TUA option, or any other TUA extension, at least sixty (60) days prior to expiration of the TUA.

2.3. The Contractor is encouraged to request Blanket-Use authorization through the PCO, with respect to recurring use of office space, storage, light manufacturing, training areas and third party production areas. A Blanket-Use Agreement provides the authority for Facility Contractors to use facilities and equipment, on a non-interference basis, with the PCO approval. Such facility use for DOD and commercial efforts is based upon the Contractor’s compliance and agreement with the conditions listed in the Blanket-Use Agreement.

2.4. The Government may authorize the Contractor to use facilities in support of third party agreements and/or Tenant Use Agreements (TUA) under this facility contract during the term hereof, for time periods not to exceed fifty (50) years, notwithstanding the fact that said time periods may exceed the term of this facility contract.

3. ARMS TERMINATION AND EXPIRATION:

3.1. The PCO may issue the Contractor a notice for termination of any TUA or third party activity when the PCO determines it to be in the best interest of the Government. When this occurs, the following applies:

3.1.1. A timetable will be negotiated with the Contractor (representing its own and any tenant interests) for the cessation of commercial production/operations and the return of the facility to the Army.

3.1.2. FAR Part 49 shall be used to set forth the terms for establishing appropriate termination settlement costs.

3.1.3. Settlement consideration cost shall be limited to those costs associated with the same usage period approved by the PCO for Contractor submitted ARMS tenant proposals.

3.2. Upon expiration or termination of all or part of this facility contract, the Government may establish a successor ARMS-eligible facility or property management contract. If this occurs, the successor will be required to accept the terms and conditions of the TUAs in place to the maximum extent possible so long as such terms and conditions do not violate applicable laws and regulations. This will be accomplished through the inclusion of the terms and conditions of established TUAs in the solicitation issued to obtain a successor.

3.3. In the event the Contractor ceases to be the Facility Contractor for this site while authorized TUAs remain in effect, the Government shall release and hold harmless the Contractor, with respect to said agreements, from all responsibilities and from those liabilities arising from acts/omissions occurring after the date the Contractor ceases to be the Facility Contractor for the site.

3.4. Should this facility be determined to be excess to the needs of the Government (Federal, State and Local), the Contractor/tenant(s) will have the right of first refusal for purchasing the property, at the current market rates. However, if the Contractor/tenant(s) decline to purchase the property, the Contractor/tenant(s) shall not hold the Government responsible or liable should the terms and conditions of a TUA not be transferred to the new property owner. Any further agreement is the responsibility of the tenants(s) and the new owner, and not the Government.

4. ARMS TENANT USE PROPOSALS AND AGREEMENTS:

4.1. All ARMS proposals for tenant facility use, third party use and/or ARMS funding investment shall be submitted to the PCO for Government approval in accordance with the Joint Munitions Command (JMC) Regulation 715-7 (Third Party Request for Use of Facility (RUF) Agreements) and a copy furnished to the designated ARMS Team point of contact. The RUF shall include the ARMS Mandatory Checklist, the ARMS Safety Checklist, and all appropriate environmental requirements documents, and be in compliance with the Contractor’s Facility Contract.

4.2. The Contractor shall not use Government property until specific written approval is obtained from the PCO. Use of such property shall be on a non-interference basis.

4.3. If ARMS funding is requested, all supporting details of project cost, schedule, and a complete description/statement of work (SOW) for the project must be included in the proposal for review and approval by the Government. Evaluation of the proposals will be based upon the information provided, the ultimate impact of the proposed use to the Army, and the soundness of the overall business decision.

4.3.1. The Contractor may submit a conceptual tenant use proposal prior to submitting a technical proposal to obtain preliminary review and tentative approval by the Government. However, a full technical proposal is required for final Government approval.

4.3.2. ARMS funds may be requested from the Government for unique proposal requirements such as; environmental baseline studies, environmental assessments, Government property facility/infrastructure preparation, upgrades, repairs, design/ engineering analysis, and infrastructure baseline testing (i.e. mold, asbestos, lead paint). However, general ARMS installation property management and marketing expenses are to be borne by the Contractor as described in paragraph 6, “ARMS Installation Management and Marketing Requirements” and paragraph 7, “Contractor Compensation and Incentive”.

4.3.3. Property procured by the Contractor or tenants using ARMS appropriated funding (incentive, investment, etc.) and/or ARMS Consideration (revenue) shall belong to the Government, unless the Government specifically declines ownership.

4.3.4. The Government shall not be held responsible for Contractor’s breach of contract with the TUAs, Contractor’s negligence, or the Contractor’s decision to no longer be the Facility Contractor.

4.3.5. The Government does not have privity to TUAs; therefore the Government has no authority to work directly with tenants.

4.3.6. The Contractor shall advise all tenants, in writing, of all applicable Government regulations (including but not limited to all Federal, State, environmental, security, property, safety, and maintenance regulations) and contract terms and conditions prior to such tenants occupying and/or beginning operations on Government property. The Contractor must have procedures in place to verify that all tenants abide by all such requirements at all times while on Government property.

4.3.7. The Contractor shall provide copies of all third party agreements and TUAs and modifications to the PCO within 30 days of issuance. The Government shall possess full rights to publish or post the agreements for the purposes of future competition, conveyance, etc. The Contractor shall require the same agreement from all tenants as well as include this same paragraph (ARMS PWS paragraph 4.3.7) in each of its TUAs entered into with tenants to ensure tenants understand and agree to such terms.

5. TENANTS & THIRD PARTY REVENUE/CONSIDERATION DETERMINATION

AND TENANT DUE DILIGENCE:

5.1. The Contractor shall propose to the Army, with each RUF/proposal submission, the fair rental or other adequate consideration for the use of the property. The fair market value consideration, per FAR 52.245-9 Use and Charges, should be the rationale used for establishing that consideration. Methods used for determining fair market value and the total amounts of consideration required include, but are not limited to, property appraisals, historical records of similar operations within the local areas, and proposed ARMS investments. The consideration for third party work will be calculated based on a percentage (recommended 4%) of the third party work (sales value). This percentage will be determined by mutual agreement of the Contractor and the Government.

5.2. When the PCO has reason to believe the proposed consideration is not reasonable, he or she shall notify the Contractor with rationale. If the consideration is deemed unreasonable or impractical, the Contractor may request the consideration to be based upon proposed alternate methods (e.g., cost of maintaining facilities/property, job creation, critical skill retention, costs of long term development, etc.). Supporting rationale shall be provided to the PCO. The parties may agree on an alternate means of determining reasonable consideration.

5.3. Consideration per ARMS PWS paragraph 7, “Contractor Compensation and Incentive” is due at the time and place negotiated between the PCO and the Contractor for each TUA or third party agreement. Consideration can be in the form of services-in-lieu of rent, tenant rent, and/or a percentage of third party sales. The PCO will furnish direction regarding consideration distribution procedures as depicted in Table 1.

5.4. For non-monetary consideration, the value of the services-in-lieu of rent shall be commensurate to the fair market value or alternate consideration value associated with the use of the Government property for the designated time period. The Contractor shall determine the consideration value and furnish records or other supporting data in sufficient detail to permit the PCO to verify the accuracy of the proposed consideration value.

5.5. The Government’s acceptance of consideration under these conditions, in whole or in part, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of any rights it may have against the Contractor stemming from the Contractor’s unauthorized use of Government property or any other failure to perform this Facility Contract according to its terms.

5.6. The Contractor shall be responsible for collecting all consideration from the tenants and third party activities and maintaining it in the Facility Contractor Account (FCA). (Note: The FCA is the account which holds the gross rent/revenue, is managed by the Contractor/ARMS Property Manager and is overseen by the GOCO Administrative Contracting Officer.) If at any time, a tenant is delinquent, it is the responsibility of the Contractor to inform the PCO of the delinquency within 60 days and of the corrective actions taken by the Contractor.

5.7. The Contractor may not be held responsible for a defaulted consideration/rent payment(s) for a tenant provided the Contractor has performed the appropriate due diligence in verifying the credit worthiness of the prospective tenant in accordance with commercial best practices and has taken the appropriate actions to recover the delinquent consideration/payment(s). Dunn and Bradstreet, commercial trade reference and bank reference are examples of credit sources that may be used by the Contractor to evaluate the credit worthiness of the prospective tenant. Upon request, the Contractor shall provide the Government the results of the credit check along with the supporting documents.

6. ARMS INSTALLATIONS MANAGEMENT AND MARKETING REQUIREMENTS:

6.1. ARMS Marketing Plan – The Contractor shall provide the PCO with a Marketing Plan (CDRL A001) upon contract award and an additional Marketing Plan upon the execution of each Facility Contract option, as necessary. The Marketing Plan will, at minimum, cover the following areas:

6.1.1. Survey of local commercial real estate market

6.1.2. Expected marketing efforts and programs

6.1.3. Target market (type of tenant/third party work)

6.1.4. Expected rental consideration and number of tenants for the next five years

6.1.5. Expected projected third party sales for the next five years

6.1.6. Any areas of concern

6.2. ARMS Quarterly Activity Report – The Contractor shall provide the PCO with a Quarterly Activity Report (CDRL A002) including the report template at Appendix B. The Quarterly Activity Report shall, at a minimum, cover all areas of activity associated with current and future marketing activities, current tenants, current third party work, current issues, and the FCA status. The Quarterly Activity Report shall be provided 30 days after the end of the Government’s Fiscal Quarter and the 4th Quarter Activity Report shall address changes/updates to the Marketing Plan for the upcoming year.

6.3. Quarterly Teleconference – Should the Government hold quarterly teleconferences, the Contractor shall participate with Government ARMS Team and/or other ARMS Property Managers to discuss current issues and best practices.

6.4. Annual ARMS Program Review and Workshop – Should the Government hold an annual off-site ARMS program review/workshop, the Contractor shall be required to attend. The annual program review/workshop may be up to 3-days plus travel time. Any travel expenses for meeting attendance will be borne by the Contractor.

6.5. Annual ARMS Validation – The Contractor shall support the annual ARMS validation effort to include providing all necessary supporting documentation

7. CONTRACTOR COMPENSATION AND INCENTIVE:

7.1. The annual value of tenant and third party consideration available for use by the Government and/or retained by the Contractor shall be calculated in accordance with the ARMS Revenue Distribution Table shown in Table 1 below. The Contractor Compensation/ Incentive Portion and the Army Portion of the consideration shall be maintained in the Facility Contractor Account by the Contractor and reported in the ARMS Quarterly Activity Report. The percentages of the Army Portion of the revenue identified in the table are suggestions; actual percentages will be determined on a periodic basis by the ARMS Team.

1ARMS Project Allotment and Facility Project Allotment are forecasted percentages only. Government reserves the right to reallocate the percentages at its own discretion, within the cumulative percentages of these two amounts for each respective Annual ARMS Consideration category.

2A Contractor’s compensation is based on the amount of cash revenue they generate during the current year as compared to the revenue generated during the previous/prior year. The previous/prior year revenue is referred to as the base year or “Baseline”.

3 If the current year consideration amount decreases by more than 30% from the Baseline (prior year), the Contractor Compensation/Incentive Portion shall decrease to 15% of the current year consideration. The PCO may decide to retain the compensation amount should there be mitigating circumstances.

7.2. Compensation to the Contractor for completing the requirements in paragraph

1.3 “Contractor Requirements” and paragraph 6 “ARMS Installation Management and Marketing Requirements” shall be funded by the amount under the “Contractor Compensation/Incentive Portion” column in the table above (Table 1). To compensate the Contractor for first year, and establish an initial Baseline, the Government will provide a fixed payment to the Contractor of $100,000 (ARMS appropriated funds). Beginning with the second year, compensation will be limited to the compensation plan outlined in the table above (Table 1). Please note that beyond Year 1, the Government does not intend to provide additional appropriated funding for ARMS requirements other than what is described in paragraph 4, “ARMS Tenant Use Proposals and Agreements.” The Contractor Compensation/Incentive Portion funds are not available for use by the Government.

7.3. The amount under the “Army Portion” column shall be for use by the Government for repair, upgrade, etc., of current and potential ARMS tenant needs (ARMS Project Allotment) and for installation facility/infrastructure needs (Facility Project Allotment). These percentages will be reviewed and updated on a periodic basis by the Government ARMS Team.

7.4. The Baseline for Annual ARMS Consideration shall be recomputed annually on the last day of the Government fiscal year or on a mutually agreed to date consistent every year.

7.5. An illustration of how the Contractor’s Compensation and Incentive Fee (CIF) would be calculated is shown in Table 2 below. Again, this is for illustration only.

20% + 10% = 30%

30% × $800,000

= $240,000 $240,000

CIF

$240,000

Note: This table is for illustration purposes only.

In this example, the breakdown of the CIF in each year of the 3-year process of adoption is as follows:

Year 1. During the first year of the model, gross revenue collected during this year (i.e., $600K) becomes the basis for calculating the CIF to be paid to the Contractor during the following year. The base CIF rate (in this example) is 20%, so $120K will be available to fund the following year’s compensation (i.e., 20% × $600,000 = $120,000). (Note the compensation during year 1 is paid by appropriated funding.)

Year 2. Contractor compensation during the second year of the model will be paid by the CIF which is calculated based on the year 1 revenue. This sets up the basic CIF payment structure, wherein total revenue generated during a year is used to calculate the CIF to be paid out during the following year. In this example, the gross revenue increased by 8.3% (i.e., [$650,000 – $600,000]/$600,000 = 8.3%), meriting a 5% performance-based CIF rate bonus. The total CIF rate is now 25%, so $162.5K will be available for the following year’s compensation (i.e., 25% × $650,000 = $162,500).

Year 3. The ARMS incentive business model is now fully implemented, and the Contractor has the opportunity to further increase the performance-based CIF rate bonus by increasing the total tenant rent and third party revenue every year. This bonus is tied to the change (increase/decrease) in gross revenue generated at the facility from year 1 to year 2. This percentage is used to determine the actual CIF to be paid out during year 3 (current year) by applying it to the year 2 (prior year) gross revenue.

8. USE REVOCATION AND UNAUTHORIZED USE:

8.1. Use Revocation: Revocation of authority to use Government property for commercial use will not be considered unless the Facility Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of this PWS or the Government has compelling need that precludes confirmed availability for commercial use.

8.2. Unauthorized use: The unauthorized use of Government property can subject a person to fines, imprisonment, or both under 18 U.S.C 641.

9. MAINTENANCE OF RENTED FACILITIES/EQUIPMENT (ARMS USE OF

GOVERNMENT PROPERTY):

9.1. The maintenance of facilities and equipment designated for ARMS commercial and third party use shall be in accordance with the SCAAP Maintenance PWS and the Contractor’s Maintenance Plan. Additional guidance as it pertains to the ARMS program follows:

9.1.1. Government property that becomes available to the ARMS program will be maintained as active by the ARMS program to a degree to ensure continued utilization during the anticipated period of use by tenants and to permit Layaway after cessation of operations without major rehabilitation. Maintenance costs as a result of Contractor’s or tenant’s negligence are the responsibility of the respective party.

9.1.2. ARMS property that is no longer rented and is removed from the ARMS program will revert back to the Contractor to maintain in accordance with the SCAAP Maintenance PWS.

9.1.3. ARMS property that is no longer rented by commercial tenants, may remain in the ARMS program to be utilized by the Contractor, however, the Government shall be compensated for this use at a fair market rate in accordance with FAR Part 45. The consideration/rent shall be computed in accordance with FAR Part 52.245-9 Use and Charges.

Alternate methods may be proposed by the Contractor in accordance with Section 5.2.

9.1.4. Maintenance of railroad tracks, rail infrastructure, and rail equipment specifically used by the ARMS tenants (designated as ARMS Active) and not mission critical, will be funded by the ARMS program and not by the SCAAP Maintenance PWS. All tracks, infrastructure, and equipment considered mission critical shall be maintained in accordance with the rail maintenance requirements contained in the SCAAP Maintenance

PWS.

“Tenant Use Agreement” is an agreement/contract between the Facility Contractor and a tenant that authorizes the use of Government facilities/equipment by the tenant and documents the resulting compensation from the tenant.

“Third party” refers to the Facility Contractor’s direct sales of products or services to the Government (both DoD and Non-DoD), commercial industry, and/or tenants.

“Usage period” is the time period during which Government property is approved for use. It includes time to set up the property for such purposes, perform required maintenance, and restore the property to its condition code prior to use (less normal wear and tear), where applicable.
