Subject: WALTER REED NATIONAL MILITARY MEDICAL CENTER O&M STAND-

ALONE “C” TYPE CONTRACT IN SUPPORT OF DHA PROGRAM

Sources Sought Notice / Market Research for information on capability and availability of potential contractors interested in proposing on Firm-Fixed-Price contracts to provide operations and maintenance with incidental repair and minor construction in support of Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. The Mobile Regional Contracting Center proposes to utilize a Stand-Alone Type “C” Contract. A determination regarding the potential small business reserves will be based on the information and interest received as a result of this notice. The intent of the contract is to perform plant operations, preventive maintenance, predictive maintenance, and repair of real property installed equipment (RPIE), facilities, and supporting facilities in a continuous and satisfactory manner on a 24-hour basis, 7 days per week.

Work will vary from site to site and will require extensive knowledge of the functional operation of medical facilities, including equipment, facility support systems, and building structures. Since the facilities will typically be in full operation, the contractor will be required to minimize interference with the daily operation of the facilities and will be required to implement infection control processes and to comply with Joint Commission requirements for construction work in occupied medical facilities. Work may range from reconfiguration of a single room or repair of a single utility system component to renovation of a hospital wing to include both repair of failed and failing systems and components, and minor construction of new systems and components. Key personnel, to include on-site supervisors, are required to hold an American Society of Healthcare Engineering construction certificate. For the purpose of this procurement an active medical facility is defined as a full functional facility with patients.

The following are the places of performance for the subject requirement:

• Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Bethesda, Maryland.

The anticipated period of performance is a Base and One Option Year.

The Performance Work Statement includes the following:

The contract performance work statement will include, but is not limited to, some or all the following types of work: The contractor shall be dedicated to full time operations and maintenance of the facilities, and the Contractor is expected to provide supervision, labor, materials, and equipment to operate and maintain the facilities systems and utilities infrastructure including recurring scheduled Preventive Maintenance (PM); Predictive Preventive Maintenance

(PdM); Corrective Maintenance (CM); Service Orders (SOs); Unscheduled Maintenance, Emergency maintenance of all facility systems and components, and minor construction incidental to the O&M mission may also be required.

Services include but are not limited to general and specialized Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems; electrical lighting systems; production and generation of high and low voltage electrical systems; fire detection, annunciation, notification and suppression systems; security cameras, sensory detection, and infant abduction systems; plumbing supply, drain, waste and vents; medical gas supply and waste systems; facility interior and exterior finishes; wayfinding signage; support nutritional medicine equipment; Regulatory Compliance items (e.g., The Joint Commission, installation, state, and federal codes and statutes). All code required testing or certifications shall be the contractor’s responsibility.

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 will be in full operation, the contractor will be required to minimize interference with the daily operation of the MTF and will be required to implement infection control processes. Joint Commission Environment of Care requirements and other applicable requirements must be met, including maintenance of records of preventive maintenance on all critical systems and compliance with/ implementation of the facility's Utilities Management Plan.

The Contractor shall be responsible for verifying all existing conditions, quantities, measurements, and distances, as they are only used in the Statement of Work for the estimation of the Scope of Work. The government is responsible for identifying the facility or location of work and shall not be held responsible for other inaccuracies.

All these special requirements combine to create a demanding work environment for contractors, where the contractors must be willing to take on the risk performing work that may impact patient health and safety and may even expose their own workers to toxins or infectious diseases.

This necessitates measures such as increased liability insurance, special immunizations for workers in certain facilities or areas of facilities, additional worker training in the use of specialized personal protective equipment, etc.

PLA Background Information:

A PLA is defined as a pre-hire collective bargaining agreement with one or more labor organizations that establishes the terms and conditions of employment for a specific construction project and is an agreement described in 29 U.S.C. 158(f). Large-scale construction project means a Federal construction project within the United States for which the total estimated cost of the construction contract to the Federal Government is $35 million or more. Pursuant to FAR 22.503, Executive Order (E.O.) 14063, Use of Project Labor Agreements for Federal Construction Projects, requires the use of project labor agreements in large-scale construction projects to promote economy and efficiency in the administration and completion of Federal construction projects. When awarding a contract in connection with a large-scale construction project (see 22.502), agencies shall require use of project labor agreements for contractors and subcontractors engaged in construction on the project.

The construction community is invited to comment on the use of PLA’s by responding to the following questions:

1. Do you have knowledge that a PLA has been used in the local areas on projects of this kind? If so, please provide supporting documentation.

2. Are you aware of skilled labor shortage in the areas for those crafts that will be needed to complete the referenced project? If so, please elaborate and provide supporting documentation where possible.

3. Are you aware of time sensitive issues/scheduling requirements that would affect the rate at which the referenced project should be completed? If so, please elaborate and provide supporting documentation where possible.

4. Identify specific reasons why or how you believe a PLA would advance the Federal Governments interest in achieving economy and efficiency in federal procurement.

5. Identify specific reasons why you do not believe a PLA would advance the Federal Governments interest in achieving economy and efficiency in federal procurement.

6. Identify any additional information you believe should be considered on the use of a PLA on the referenced project.

7. Identify any additional information you believe should be considered on the non-use of a PLA on the referenced project.

The above requested information shall not exceed a total of eight (8) pages on 8.5" x 11" paper, 12-point Times New Roman font, with a minimum of one (1) inch margins all around.
