DESCRIPTION/WORK STATEMENT/SPECIFICATION

FOR

Automatic Guided Vehicle (AGV) batteries

1.0 Scope:

This specification establishes a requirement for replacing 28 aging batteries currently used in the AGVs located in building 513. AGVs are part of the Automatic Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) at Anniston Army Depot (ANAD) Anniston, Alabama.

2.0 Background:

AGV batteries are nearing the end of their usable life and need to be replaced. We require enough batteries to supply all the AGVs and a secondary bank which will be charging in order to reduce downtime.

3.0 Contractor Requirements:

3.1 The contractor shall provide 28 batteries that meet the requirement provided by Anniston Army Depot (ANAD). Batteries shall have a minimum of 100 amp-hours of capacity. The batteries must fit into the steel tray as show in the attached drawing. Current Battery type is 12- E55L-15 and the dimensions (LxWxH) are 38.12" x 11.77" x 14.81". Battery installation shall be performed by ANAD.

3.2 The replacement batteries shall provide the same compatibility and functionality, at a minimum, as the existing AGV batteries used in bldg. 513.

3.3 The contractor shall complete all tasks assigned during the contract performance period.

3.4 The contractor shall provide all documentation (as referenced and described in DD Form 1423 pages 1 and 2) relevant to the upgrade described in this contract. Documentation shall include, but not limited to, maintenance manuals, and commercial drawings and associated lists.

The contractor shall provide three (3) printed copies and three (3) electronic copies of all documentation unless otherwise specified. The electronic documentation shall be provided on DVDs. Electronic copies of the documentation shall be in Microsoft Office format (Word, Excel) or Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). Drawings and schematics may be provided in PDF or Solid Edge (.par, .asm, .dft, .dwg) formats. All documentation the contractor deems to be proprietary in nature must be clearly marked. The Government must have the right to print additional hard copies of all documentation from the DVDs as needed.

3.5 Contractor shall comply with all applicable federal, state, and local environmental and safety laws, statutes, regulations, executive orders, permits, Army regulations (with supplements), as well as Major Subordinate Command (MSC) and installation regulations, policies, Host Tenant Agreement, or Interagency Service Support Agreement. Contractor shall immediately report any conflicts between applicable federal, state, local environmental and safety laws, statutes, executive orders, and provisions of Army Regulation 200-1, and any specifications within this contract to the Contracting Officer Representative (COR).

3.6 Contractor shall immediately notify the Designated Government Representative (DGR) and Contracting Officer Representative (COR) of the arrival on site of any Federal, State, and/or DoD environmental or safety regulator or enforcement agent and/or the receipt of any correspondence from a Federal or State environmental agency.

3.6 Contractor shall submit to potential Federal, State, Army and installation work site environmental or safety regulatory inspections and/or investigations into noncompliance, and fully cooperate with such inspections/investigations by providing the appropriate records and documentation. Environmental regulatory agencies are authorized by law to inspect any work site for environmental compliance with regulatory requirements. If an inspection is conducted, it will not stop or disrupt ongoing contract activities. The inspection will only require the work site environmental or safety officer, or supervisor/manager to answer questions and/or escort the inspector to specific work site areas with the potential to affect environmental quality.

3.7 Contractor shall immediately report any nonconformance and/or noncompliance with applicable Federal, State or Local environmental or safety laws, Army and installation environmental regulations or policies to the COR and DGR.

3.8 Contractor shall take the necessary actions to identify, monitor, and control those contract operations and activities that pose risk of contamination, or can negatively impact the natural and/or human environment.

4.0 Project Completion Requirements:

4.1 This contract shall have a performance period of 180 calendar days after contract award to complete all requirements of this specification.

4.2 Acceptance of goods shall be done by the assigned Government Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR).

4.3 The battery Manufacturer shall provide a warranty not less than one (1) year. The warranty shall be written in the Anniston Army Depot’s name.

The Contractor will be required to provide consent for TIN validation to the Government as a part of the SAM registration process; and

(4) The Government has marked the record ``Active''.

System for Award Management (SAM) means the primary Government repository for prospective Federal awardee and Federal awardee information and the centralized Government system for certain contracting, grants, and other assistance-related processes. It includes—

(1) Data collected from prospective Federal awardees required for the conduct of business with the Government;

(2) Prospective contractor-submitted annual representations and certifications in accordance with FAR subpart 4.12;

and

(3) Identification of those parties excluded from receiving Federal contracts, certain subcontracts, and certain types of Federal financial and non-financial assistance and benefits.

Unique entity identifier means a number or other identifier used to identify a specific commercial, nonprofit, or Government entity. See www.sam.gov for the designated entity for establishing unique entity identifiers.

(b) The Contractor is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the data within the SAM database, and for any liability resulting from the Government's reliance on inaccurate or incomplete data. To remain registered in the SAM database after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis, from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates, its information in the SAM database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating information in the SAM does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document.

(c)(1)(i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, doing business as name, or division name (whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name agreements in subpart 42.12, the Contractor shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day's written notification of its intention to—

(A) Change the name in the SAM database;

(B) Comply with the requirements of subpart 42.12 of the FAR; and

(C) Agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the responsible Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall provide with the notification sufficient documentation to support the legally changed name.

(ii) If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (c)(1)(i) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at paragraph (c)(1)(i)(C) of this clause, and, in the absence of a properly executed novation or change-of-name agreement, the SAM information that shows the Contractor to be other than the Contractor indicated in the contract will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the ``Suspension of Payment'' paragraph of the electronic funds transfer (EFT) clause of this contract.

(2) The Contractor shall not change the name or address for EFT payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the SAM record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims (see FAR subpart 32.8, Assignment of Claims). Assignees shall be separately registered in the SAM. Information provided to the Contractor's SAM record that indicates payments, including those made by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that Contractor will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the ``Suspension of Payment'' paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract.

(3) The Contractor shall ensure that the unique entity identifier is maintained with the entity designated at www.sam.gov for establishment of the unique entity identifier throughout the life of the contract. The Contractor shall communicate any change to the unique entity identifier to the Contracting Officer within 30 days after the change, so an appropriate modification can be issued to update the data on the contract. A change in the unique entity identifier does not necessarily require a novation be accomplished.

(d) Contractors may obtain additional information on registration and annual confirmation requirements at https://www.acquisition.gov.

Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint.

The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

If the Offeror does not have a unique entity identifier, it should contact the entity designated at www.sam.gov for unique entity identifier establishment directly to obtain one. The Offeror should indicate that it is an offeror for a Government contract when contacting the entity designated at www.sam.gov for establishing the unique entity identifier.

(k) System for Award Management. Unless exempted by an addendum to this solicitation, by submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges the requirement that a prospective awardee shall be registered in the SAM database prior to award, during performance and through final payment of any contract resulting from this solicitation. If the Offeror does not become registered in the SAM database in the time prescribed by the Contracting Officer, the Contracting Officer will proceed to award to the next otherwise successful registered Offeror.

"The award will be made on a Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable Basis. The Technical Factor shall be evaluated as "Met" or "Not Met." Offerors shall provide technical literature with their proposals."

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement.

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.
