PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

ATWOOD LAKE/ DOVER DAM/ LEESVILLE LAKE

MAINTENANCE SERVICES CONTRACT

DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS

SECTION C-1

General

C-1.1. PROJECT INFORMATION.

Atwood Lake is located on Indian Fork of Conotton Creek, near New Cumberland, Ohio in Tuscarawas County. For the purposes of this contract, the project also includes the Upper Tuscarawas Office. Project purposes served are flood control, recreation, and fish and wildlife enhancement.

Dover Dam is located on the Tuscarawas River near Dover, Ohio in Tuscarawas County. For the purposes of this contract, the project also includes the Massillon local protection project (LPP) in Stark County, the Zoar LPP and Somerdale LPP in Tuscarawas County, and the Muskingum Area Office. The project provides flood control.

Leesville Lake is located on McGuire Creek of Conotton Creek, near Leesville, Ohio in Carroll County. Project purposes served are flood control, recreation, and fish and wildlife enhancement.

C-1.2. PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT. The Contractor shall furnish all necessary management, personnel, materials, supplies, tools, equipment, fuel, and vehicles, except as otherwise provided herein, required to perform mowing, cleaning, janitorial, and other services at the Atwood Lake, Dover Dam and Leesville Lake project recreation areas, as specified and in strict accordance with all Terms, Conditions, General, Specific and Technical Provisions, Drawings, Attachments, Exhibits, etc., contained herein or incorporated by reference. Award of a contract does not guarantee that the Government will order all of the types of services listed under the contract from the Contractor. The Government reserves the right to perform any portion of the services listed, to have the services performed in any other way it deems necessary, to increase or decrease service frequencies and/or quantities in any or all areas or services in the closed areas. In the event of a flood, unanticipated low or high visitation, any other occurrence that changes the need for services under this contract, or failure of the Contractor to perform scheduled work, the Government will issue a modification of the Task Order to stop work or to change the Work Schedule Calendars. The price will be proportionally reduced for services not performed or increased for added services.

The quantities listed in the price breakout schedule are approximate and are provided as information only to assist in preparation of quotes. They are not guaranteed, and the actual quantities may be more or less than shown. Variation in these estimated quantities shall not be justification for modification of the contract or request for additional payment.

Contractor's work and responsibility shall include, but shall not be limited to, all planning, programming, administration and management necessary to assure that all services provided are conducted in accordance with the contract and all applicable laws, regulations, codes, or directives. Contractor shall perform all related Contractor administrative services necessary to perform the work such as supply, procurement, quality control, Contractor financial control, and maintenance of accurate and complete records and files.

It is emphasized that the work described in this contract is an important part of the Corps mission. Much of the work described will be performed in public recreation areas. The Corps is committed to "Customer Care" and providing quality professional service.

Work included in this contract generally involves work associated with operation and maintenance of areas at the specified Government projects. However, in special instances the contractor may be issued at ask order under this contract for other Huntington District projects within the State of Ohio and within 50 linear miles. Examples of these special instances may include but are not limited to damaging storms, wildfires, floods, or other time-sensitive maintenance needs. Task orders issued in these circumstances will be negotiated on an individual basis using contract line items from the price breakout schedule.

C-1.3. TASK ORDERS. All work under this contract will be ordered by issuance of individual

Task Orders (DD Form 1449, see Exhibit L). No work shall be performed under this contract before an individual Task Order has been issued by the Contracting Officer (KO). The KO has four basic ways to order work using this contract: Fixed Price Task Orders, Negotiated Task Orders, and Emergency Task Orders. Only the KO, by issuance of a modification, may make any change to a Task Order. The type of Task Order used will be at the discretion of the KO. The Task Order will list those items from the price breakout schedule that are to be performed or used to perform the work, except for negotiated Task Orders.

C-1.4. NEGOTIATION. Negotiated Task Orders (e.g., using items from C-5 of the Price Breakout Schedule) will be agreed upon by negotiation between the Contractor and the KO. This procedure is typically initiated by the Government, unless otherwise specified in the Request for Quote, the Contractor shall return the completed quote within 48 hours of receipt of the request. If the Contractor's quote is reasonable, the KO will issue a Task Order. If the Contractor's quote is considered unreasonable, the Contractor and KO will attempt to reach a fair and reasonable price through negotiation. If an agreement cannot be reached, the KO may elect to not issue a task order for the work. The Government reserves the right to obtain services by whatever means deemed to be in the best interest of the Government, including use of its own work force.

The purpose of negotiation is to establish a fair and reasonable price for the job under consideration.

The Government and Contractor will negotiate toward the most efficient method of work and the number of hours required. For negotiations, Atwood Lake Project Office is the starting and stopping point for work crews. The most efficient method is that method of work which accomplishes the job safely and at the lowest price. Once negotiated the Contractor must perform the job using the method of work and line items agreed upon during negotiations.

C-1.5. WORKING HOURS.

a. Normal Working Hours. Normal working hours, except as otherwise specified herein, shall be Monday through Friday, 7:30 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. EST/EDT or as specified on the Task Order. Work inside Government buildings or other secured areas shall be performed during the above referenced work hours. Work that interferes with other ongoing functions at the project shall be scheduled around normal working hours, as specified by the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR).

c. Emergency Working Hours. Emergency working hours shall be 24 hours per day, 7 calendar days per week.

d. Inclement Weather Work. The Contractor shall maintain the schedule of services regardless of inclement weather.
