Section C - Descriptions and Specifications

DTA MATOC SOW

C.1 GENERAL

C.1.1 The contractor shall furnish, upon receipt of an individual Task Order award, all materials, supplies, tools, parts (to include system components), supervision, engineering review and design, transportation, quality control, management, and labor necessary to perform all work in accordance with the specifications and technical criteria listed in each task order. The contractor’s work and responsibility shall include all contractor planning, programming, administration, and management necessary to provide all repair and construction related services as specified in each individual task order. The contractor may be required to meet compressed schedules, to deal with emergency or urgent requirements. The site location for performance will be identified in each Task Order.

Work will vary from site to site and will require extensive knowledge of the functional operation relating to the efficient use of the facility, equipment, facility support systems, and building structures. Since the facilities may be in operation, the contractor shall be required to minimize interference with Government operations and personnel.

C.1.2 The work shall be conducted by the Contractor in accordance with the Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC), Army Regulations (AR), the Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS), the International Building Code (IBC), the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA), the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air- Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) standards, Federal Energy Efficiency Standards, Federal and DoD Cybersecurity standards, Michigan Occupational Safety & Health Administration (MIOSHA), Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy, Michigan Department of Transportation, Michigan Department of Labor and requirements, and all other Federal, state, and local laws, regulations, codes, standards, and directives as specified in this contract. The compliance with codes and regulations shall be based on the most stringent requirements, in case there is a conflict between any two codes or any two regulations. The UFC and UFGS are available at the Whole Building Design Guide (WBDG) website (http://dod.wbdg.org/). UFGS Specification Section 01 42 00 SOURCES FOR REFERENCE PUBLICATIONS includes a list of standards publishing organizations and contact information.

C.1.3 The contractor shall minimize environmental pollution and damage or potential damage that may result from their operations. Environmental resources within the project boundaries and those affected outside the project boundaries shall be protected for the duration of the contract. The contractor shall be responsible for work delays resulting from failure to comply with environmental laws and regulations. Failure to comply with environmental requirements is not grounds for an equitable adjustment to the performance schedule. The contractor shall confine all activities to areas defined by the design drawings and specifications. The contractor shall be responsible for the actions of its subcontractors to ensure they adhere to all environmental requirements.

The Army's goal is to have no enforcement actions for noncompliance in regards to environmental and sustainability regulations at any installation. The contractor's actions and support are absolutely essential to achieve this goal at the United States Army Garrison-Detroit Arsenal (USAG-DTA). In the event the USAG- DTA is issued an enforcement action, the contractor shall be liable for the cost of all fines and penalties resulting from the violation of any laws due to its actions or failure to perform in accordance with (IAW) Federal, State or local environmental requirements. Also, the contractor shall be responsible to reimburse the Government for all expenses incurred because of the receipt of any enforcement actions due to the fault or negligence of the contractor. The contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer or Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) if any actual environmental issues are encountered or potential environmental issues may be encountered.

C.2 TASK ORDER COMPETITION

C.2.1 Individual Task Order awards (Task Order) will be based on competitive proposals received exclusively from MATOC contractors in accordance with the fair opportunity process from FAR 16.505(b)(1).

C.2.2 All eligible MATOC contract contractors will be provided a fair opportunity to be considered for each Task Order under this contract unless a statutory exception from FAR 16.505(b)(2) applies.

C.2.3 The Contracting Officer may exercise broad discretion in determining the basis upon which the selection will be made for each task order. The submission requirements and basis for award will be included in each individual task order request. The task order basis for award can include, but is not limited to the following:

-Price -Past Performance (including performance on this MATOC) -Technical

C.3 TASK ORDER REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (TASK ORDER RFP)

C.3.1 Notification of Task Order RFP. Notifications of task order requests for construction related projects will be sent via e-mail to MATOC contract holders. Therefore, MATOC contract holders shall keep an up-to-date e-mail address on file with the Contracting Officer at all times. Backup addresses are encouraged. Upon notification of a Task Order RFP, the contractor shall acknowledge receipt by return e-mail. The Government will not be responsible for lack of notification(s) for MATOC contractor holders who fail to maintain current e-mail addresses or fail to acknowledge receipt.

C.3.1.1 In the event an offeror is unable to submit a proposal in response to a Task Order RFP, the contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer, or the Contract Specialist identified within the Task Order RFP, via e-mail.

C.3.2 Task Order RFP Format. The Task Order RFP shall contain the following information:

1. Date of Issuance

2. Project Title and Description

3. Magnitude of the Project

4. Plans and Specifications

5. Performance Period

8. Wage Determination

9. Site Visit Information

10. Basis for Award

11. Proposal Due Date

12. Proposal Submission Requirements

13. Any other pertinent data determined appropriate by the Contracting Officer

C.3.3 Plans and Specifications. The MATOC contract holder will be provided an electronic copy of the Statement of Work (with pertinent supplemental specifications and construction drawings as applicable) upon issue of each Task Order RFP. All reproduction shall be at the contractor’s expense.

C.3.3.1 Design Standards & Guides. The design, construction, and repair of facilities shall comply with the Attachments and Appendices provided in Task Order RFP.

C.3.3.2 Default Specifications. The Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS) are the Default Specifications for the MATOC contract and all Task Orders. Specification paragraphs and subparagraphs shall not be rewritten by the contractor which lessens the quality of the original technical specification sections, unless otherwise noted in the Task Order RFP. The UFGS specifications describe the type and quality of material and installation normally acceptable for United States Army construction and often represent specific agreement between the Government and the applicable industry. The provisions of the UFGS technical specifications shall not be changed without justification. If bracketed choices are not selected by the Government in the Task Order RFP, then the contractor shall edit the choice. Contractor editing of UFGS specifications shall not lessen the quality of the UFGS unless the contractor provides the Contracting Officer documentation as to why the standards established by the UFGS sections cannot be met and the Contracting Officer approves. The technical specifications shall be complete and fully coordinated with the drawings. Special sections shall be prepared to cover those subjects for which no pattern guide specifications are available. Notes to the designer that accompany specifications shall be used in editing technical guide specifications. All specification indexes shall be completely edited to reflect the paragraphs retained in the body of the specification. All UFGS specifications shall be edited in accordance with the requirements stated here and in this Task Order Statement of Work.

C.3.3.2.1 Design-Build. The Government will provide minimum project design drawings and technical specifications for Design-Build projects. The contractor shall provide the complete design drawings and edited Specifications, and execute construction in accordance with the Government approved final contract documents, drawings, and Specifications.

C.3.3.2.2 Design-Bid-Build. The Government will develop project design drawings and technical specifications for Design-Bid-Build projects. The contractor shall provide construction based on the Government prepared design. Certain aspects of Design-Bid-Build projects may require contractor design services as specified in the Task Order RFP. Required contractor design services for Design-Bid-Build projects may include fire protection design, structural design, or any other design specified in the Task Order RFP.

C.3.4 Site Visits. Upon issuance of the Task Order RFP, a site visit will be scheduled. MATOC contract holder’s attendance at site visits is considered vital to preparation of competitive and cost-effective offers, and to understand the total requirements desired by the Government. In some cases, a site visit may be determined mandatory for MATOC contract holders to submit proposals. Such requirement will be stated in the Task Order RFP. Failure to attend site visits may not be used as an excuse for omission or miscalculation in offers. Any failure of the Contractor to attend a site visit will not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for estimating properly the difficulty and cost of successfully performing the work, or for proceeding to successfully perform the work without additional expense to the Government. See FAR clause 52.236-3, Site Investigation and Conditions Affecting the Work.

C.3.5 Davis Bacon. The prevailing Davis Bacon Wage Determination shall be included into each Task Order RFP per FAR 22.404, “Davis-Bacon Act wage determinations.” Offerors shall be notified of any changes to the prevailing Davis Bacon Wage Determination before the issuance of Task Orders.

C.4. TASK ORDERS INCLUDING DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION SERVICES

C.4.1 The design of architectural, structural, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, communications, fire protection, civil, or other engineering features of the work shall be accomplished or reviewed and approved by architects or engineers registered to legally practice in the particular professional field the United States, Puerto Rico, or in the District of Columbia. Projects requiring a designer to be licensed in the State of Michigan will be denoted at the task order level. All plans shall be stamped and signed by the design professional. The contractor shall identify the Designer of Record for each area of work, also to be indicated in the Design Quality Control Plan. One Designer of Record may be responsible for more than one area. All areas of design disciplines shall be accounted for by a listed, State Licensed Designer of Record in good standing. The Designers of Record shall stamp, sign, and date each design drawing submitted under their responsible discipline for the 100 Percent Design; Corrected Final Design; and Released for Construction Design submittals.

C.4.2 Responsibility of the Contractor for Design. See FAR clause, 52.236-23, Responsibility of the Architect- Engineer Contractor, for responsibility of the contractor for design.

C.4.3 Notice to Proceed (NTP). After receipt of the NTP, the contractor shall initiate design, comply with all design submission requirements, and obtain Government review and approval of each submission. No construction may be started until the Government approves the final design submission and determines it satisfactory for purposes of beginning construction. The Contracting Officer or COR will notify the contractor when the design is cleared for construction by issuing a Released for Construction letter. Unless otherwise approved by the contracting officer through issuance of a partial release for construction letter.

C.4.4 If the Government allows the contractor to proceed with limited construction based on pending minor revisions to the final design submission, no payment will be made for any materials incorporated in the work related to the pending revisions until they are approved by the Government.
