PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

This Performance Work Statement is created from a template used for all grounds and maintenance service contracts within the Pittsburgh District. The paragraphs not applicable to this procurement are marked “Reserved”. Only the relevant Exhibits and Attachments are included. The Exhibits contain information that is unique to this procurement and are incorporated by reference.

SECTION 1. GRASS MOWING

1.1 SCOPE OF WORK. The work performed under this section consists of furnishing labor, equipment, fuel, transportation, tools and supplies necessary for mowing and trimming grass and vegetation in strict accordance with these specifications for the areas listed in Exhibit A.

1.2 LOCATION AND SCHEDULE OF WORK. The location and description of the work areas are shown on Exhibit A as well as the schedule of the work to be performed.

1.3 WORK TO BE PERFORMED

1.3.1 General. For the purpose of this contract, mowing is defined as the cutting of grass, weeds, vines, or other vegetation. Trimming is defined as the cutting of grass, weeds, vines, or other vegetation around items such as buildings, sidewalks, guardrails, posts, instruments, telephone poles, drinking fountains, grills, campsites, fire rings, picnic tables, trees, shrubbery, curbing, stone slope protection areas, bumper blocks in camping and parking areas, and other such obstacles.

1.3.1.1 Ordering Mowings. When a Task Order is issued to mow a designated area, mowing shall be completed in the order and within the period of performance specified by the COR (either by weekly work order or the approved Contractor's schedule). This excludes variances, i.e. weekends, holidays, or other variances allowed or required by the COR. All variances allowed or required by the COR will be submitted to the Contractor in writing. The COR may cancel a mowing and/or trimming operation under special circumstances, e.g., wet ground or safety hazards. An amount shall be deducted from the task order equal to the cost of mowing/trimming the area where a service was cancelled. (The deduction will be the amount equal to the percentage of the acreage of the corresponding Contract Line Item that was not mowed and/or trimmed.)

1.3.1.2 Grass Height. Mowing and trimming in each area must be done in such a manner as to provide uniform grass height. The heights of cuts are broken into two different types: Type I Cut—the required cut height is three inches and normally mowed when the grass height is less than six inches. Type II Cut—the required cut height is five inches and is intended for meadows and fields with high grass.

1.3.1.3 Mowing Hours. Work to be performed in secured areas shall be accomplished during normal project work hours (see Section 12.3). Mowing in camping areas shall be performed Monday through Thursday, between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Mowing and trimming operations shall not be conducted on Saturdays, Sundays, or federal holidays unless approved in writing, in advance, by the COR. Work approved for weekends or holidays shall be at no additional expense to the Government.

1.3.2 Mowing Operations. All mowing operations shall be conducted to protect the grass, sod, equipment, trees and shrubs in the areas, and to ensure the safety of all persons in the vicinity of the mowing operations.

1.3.2.1 It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to locate each geotechnical instrument within the mowing limits prior to each mowing and ensure that the instruments are visible to the employees working in the area. The Contractor shall be responsible for any damage to such geotechnical instruments during mowing. The Contractor shall also be held responsible for damage/breakage to water shutoff valves, risers, caps, and other Government property.

1.3.2.2 The Contractor shall be liable for replacement of trees and shrubs damaged by mowing equipment.

The Contractor will be required to replace any damaged tree or shrub; the replacement item shall be approved by the COR before installation. If a replacement tree or shrub dies within a year, the Contractor shall replace it. If Contractor chooses not to replace a damaged tree or shrub, the cost of the labor and materials necessary to replace the damaged tree or shrub will be deducted from the Contractor's next payment.

1.3.2.3 Prior to Mowing. Prior to mowing an area, the area shall be inspected for all visible trash, garbage, debris, drift, dead leaves and limbs, and such material shall be disposed of in accordance with Section 11, ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION. Should such material be struck by a mower and scattered, the scattered pieces shall be picked up and disposed of before leaving the area. Fallen trees shall be placed at a convenient location for future pickup by the Contractor. It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to remove grass clippings, litter, etc., that are cut up by the mower blades, from the road, sidewalks, areas under picnic tables, parking lots, camping pulloffs, benches, etc.

1.3.2.4 Soft and Damp Areas. All soft and damp areas shall be mowed assuring no damage or ruts to the landscape.

1.3.3 Trimming. All trimming of an area shall be performed in conjunction with the mowing of the area and shall be completed within 24 hours of completion of the mowing. Trimming shall ensure that all vegetation adjacent to woody plants and structures, including, but not limited to, buildings, fences, signs, and surface areas be uniform in height as designated for each area in Exhibit A.

1.3.3.1 Alternative Herbicide Application. The Contractor may elect, at no additional cost to the Government, to apply herbicide in accordance with herbicide application guidance contained in Section 2, MAINTENANCE OF LANDSCAPED AREAS in order to reduce or eliminate mechanical trimming.

1.3.4 Removal of Grass Clippings. The Contractor shall gather clippings from mowed areas only when requested by the COR. All clippings shall then be removed by the Contractor, and disposed of as specified in Section 11, ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION. This applies only to areas which are mowed on a regular basis; it does not apply to areas which are mowed less than twice a month during the mowing season.

1.4 SAFETY. In addition to the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) Safety Standards and Corps of Engineers Safety and Health Requirements Manual, EM 385-1-1 (http://www.usace.army.mil/publications/eng-manuals/em385-1-1/toc.htm), the Contractor shall comply with the following:

1.4.1 On steep and uneven terrain, use of flails or similar mowing apparatus shall not be permitted.

1.4.2 Safety glasses with side shields, long pants, hard hats, and safety shoes shall be the minimum safety apparel worn by people operating any mowing or trimming equipment.

1.4.3 All riding equipment, used on slopes of 3 horizontal to 1 vertical or steeper, shall have rollover protection in addition to seat belts.

1.4.4 A standard "Mowing Ahead" sign in accordance with the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (http://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/ ) shall be erected on each end of mowing operations at every area when mowing is in progress within five feet of a roadway.

12.12 CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS: In accordance with the provisions of FAR 42.15, Contractor Performance Information, and supplements thereto, the Contractor’s performance for service contracts awarded at or above $1,000,000.00 shall be evaluated throughout performance of the contract. The Government uses a web-based system, Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), to prepare interim and final performance evaluation reports. In addition, an "interim" assessment report may be prepared at the completion of 12 months' performance of a service contract of any dollar value and annually thereafter until the contract is physically complete. After USACE prepares an interim or final evaluation, the Contractor has the ability to access, review and comment on the evaluation for a period of 30 days. Access to CPARS requires specific software, called PKI certification, which is installed on a specific user's computer. The certification is a Department of Defense requirement and was implemented to provide security in electronic transactions. Current information about the PKI certification process can be found on the web site: http://www.cpars.navy.mil/. If the Contractor wishes to participate in the performance evaluation process, access to CPARS and PKI certification is the sole responsibility of the Contractor. The specific elements that will be used to evaluate performance will be discussed in further detail at the Post-Award Conference held with Government and Contractor personnel after award of the contract.
