PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

Tank Purge and Inspection Services 310TH Expeditionary Sustainment Command (ESC)

PART 1

GENERAL INFORMATION

1. General: This is a non-personal services contract to provide tank purge and inspection services for 60 M967 military fuel tanks as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) at the Army Reserve facility located at 151 Opportunity Way, Lexington, Kentucky. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform tank purge and inspection services for 310th ESC maintenance activities as defined in this Performance Work Statement except for those items specified as Government furnished property and services. The Contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2 Background: The Army Reserves has assorted bulk transportation tanks of various sizes used for transportation and distribution of Class 3 flammable fluids. While the Department of Defense (DOD) is exempt from Department of Transportation (DOT) standards for tank purging and storing because the DOD does not conduct transportation in commerce, the DOD maintains its own standards for tank purging and storing. Any tank used for Class 3 flammable liquids being prepared for storage or changing liquids type must be purged. Some tanks, but not all must have an annual inspection certification as specified in the tank’s technical manual. The 310th ESC maintains and stores these tanks for Army Reserve units at Lexington, Kentucky. The storage of tanks meets Army Reserve unit needs. One of the few capabilities not held in these shops is the ability to properly purge, clean, inspect, and certify tanks for storage and changing liquid types.

1.3 Objectives: Obtain efficient and cost-effective tank purge and inspection services for the 310th ESC in order to safely store, maintain, and utilize bulk transportation tanks.

1.4 Scope: Services performed under this contract primarily include tank purging and inspection in accordance with (IAW) applicable Army technical manuals associated with the types of tanks being serviced. The Contractor shall accomplish tank maintenance to include parts and labor if approved by the Contract Officers Representative prior to work being accomplished.

1.5 Period of Performance: The period of performance shall be completed within 30 days of time of award.

1.6 General Information

1.6.1 Quality Control: Quality Control is the responsibility of the Contractor. The Contractor is responsible for the delivery of quality services/supplies to the Government (see FAR 52.212- 4, Contractor Terms and Conditions – Commercial Items). A formal Quality Control Plan (QCP) is not required for this commercial service. However, the Contractor shall maintain an inspection system commensurate with commercial practices to ensure the Contractor only tenders for acceptance those items or services that conform to the requirements of this contract.

1.6.2 Quality Assurance: The Contracting Officer Representative (COR) will evaluate the contractor’s performance under this contract in accordance with the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP). This plan is a Government only document primarily focused on what the Government must do to assure that the Contractor has performed in accordance with the requirements of the contract. The Government reserves the right to inspect or test any supplies or services that have been tendered for acceptance. Non-conforming services shall be re-performed at no additional cost to the Government. If non-conforming services are recurring, cannot be re-performed, or the services fail, the Government may reject the non-conforming service(s) and document the Contractor’s performance record accordingly. The Government may also issue a Contract Action Report (CAR) in which the Contractor will be required to respond with the development of a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) which identifies the root cause, Corrective Action (CA) for the root cause, CA for the specific non-conformance, and the date the CAs will be complete. The Government may also reduce the payment to reflect the value of the services performed or may perform the services and charge the Contractor for any related cost incurred and/or may terminate this contract for cause.

1.6.3 Non-Conforming Services: When a Contractor’s performance is identified as unsatisfactory (e.g. does not meet contract PWS requirements and/or work schedules and/or timeframes) it is considered a non-conformance. The Contractor shall reply within the specified timeframe upon receipt of a CAR from the COR or Contracting Officer (KO).

Non-conformance shall be classified in one of three categories:

1.6.3.1 Level I: A Level I CAR describes a deficiency on a product or service and is not a systemic breakdown of a process or system. It includes those nonconformances that are minor in nature and can be promptly corrected by the contractor, present no need for root cause analysis, no determination if other contract requirements are affected, present no need for further preventive action, and do not materially reduce the usability of the supplies, services, construction, or deliverables. While the Government must document the nonconformance and the contractor must correct the nonconformance, further actions and Government follow-up are not required, and no written response from the contractor is needed. Level I CARs are considered closed immediately upon issuance.

1.6.3.2 Level II: A Level II CAR describes deficiencies in a contractor’s processes or systems but are not significant deficiencies. Level II CARs shall require the contractor to correct the nonconformance, perform root cause, and develop and provide a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) acceptable to the government. Some examples of systems affected may be quality inspection/management systems, and Contractor Business Systems (CBS) identified in DFARS 242.70, or issues such as:

• Multiple deficiencies on products or services indicating a systemic issue throughout the process, or,

• An escalation of repetitive Level I CARs for the same or similar nonconformance demonstrating the contractor is failing to institute effective corrective action and/or failing to implement effective quality and/or internal control(s).

1.6.3.3 Level III: A Level III CAR describes deficiencies in a contractor’s system that is affecting a contracts or program’s ability to meet cost, schedule or performance requirements, or are:

• A significant deficiency pursuant to DFARS 252.242-7005(b), “Contractor Business Systems” (CBS), or,

• A failure to respond to Level II CARs, or to remedy a recurring nonconformance.

• The contractor shall be required to provide a CAP that is acceptable to the government.

1.6.3.4 Level IV: A Level IV CAR documents a critical nonconformance of such serious nature that is issued to the contractor’s business segment or corporate management for their attention to both the nonconforming condition and the company’s corrective action, or when a Level III CAR has been ineffective. A Level IV CAR will result in a mandatory review of available contractual remedies, such as cost disallowance, reduction or suspension of payments, revocation of government assumption of risk of loss, CBS disapproval, or suspension of all product and service acceptance activities. Contractual remedies will be implemented IAW applicable FAR/DFARS clauses and/or ACC Acquisition Instructions if applicable. Action to suspend product or service acceptance will be accomplished via a Level IV CAR. The contractor shall be required to provide a CAP that is acceptable to the government.

Overarching CAR Process Flow. The following outlines the normal process flow for the corrective action process.

In the situation where the Contractor determines that further repairs be conducted on the equipment, they are to submit a Purchase Request (PR) defining the type of repairs required. The PR for repairs shall include the issue found, the labor time for repairs, the hourly labor rate, and at least two (2) quotes annotating the necessary materials. The Contractor shall ensure the estimates identify material type, manufacture, quantity and cost. The Contractor shall submit the PR to the COR within five business days of the determination. The COR will review the request and respond to the Contractor within five business days. All repairs to include labor will be submitted to the Government and approved prior to Contractor beginning any repairs or completion of work. The Contractor shall not order and parts or conduct any repairs without written authorization from the COR to do so. Government personal on site do not have the authorization to approve any parts or repairs. In a situation where the Contractor completes repairs that have not been authorized by the COR, the Government will not be responsible for payment of those repairs.

5.5 Invoicing: All inspections/purges/repairs shall be completed within 30 days of Government request and invoiced within 30 days of service completion date. The Contractor shall produce an invoice on a monthly basis for submission to the COR for concurrence prior to submission into Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE), Work Area Work Flow (WAWF) module. When invoicing for repairs the Contractor shall provide at a minimum, the approved PR, an actual vs. estimated statement and receipt document(s). The actual vs. estimated statement will identify why expenses were over/underestimated. The Contractor’s documents shall be detailed to ensure tracking can be done on all items. Once the invoice is submitted to the COR, it must be reviewed and approved by the COR prior to submission into WAWF. It is suggested that the Contractor provide a draft invoice with the appropriate documentation to the COR prior to submitting it into PIEE to ensure it will be approved by the Government.
