NOTES:

1. The hourly burdened labor rates proposed in Table 1 are binding upon contract award for the life of the MATOC for firm-fixed-price (FFP) task orders. The hourly unburdened labor rates proposed in Table 1 are binding upon contract award for the life of the MATOC for cost-plus-fixed-fee (CPFF) task orders.

2. The hourly burdened labor rates shall include direct cost, payroll taxes, insurance, benefits, and any other applicable labor costs, but shall exclude profit.

3. The binding hourly rates represent the maximum labor rates that the contractor shall use when responding to either a FFP or CPFF Request for Task Order Proposal (RTOP) issued by the Government. These binding rates shall also apply to all modifications issued against task orders. The contractor may propose a lower hourly rate for these labor disciplines when responding to the RTOP or modification request based on the tasks within the RTOP or modification requests.

4. Adherence to these rates will be reviewed through submittal of supporting documentation by the

Contractor with each FFP or CPFF task order proposal. Failure to propose the binding hourly rate or a lower rate for the listed labor disciplines may result in the Contractor’s task order proposal being rejected for award consideration.

5. If a discipline is not listed in the Binding Labor Rate Schedule and is required for the Contractor to perform a specific task order, the Contractor may propose the required labor discipline and the associated unburdened (for CPFF task orders) or fully burdened labor rate (for FFP task orders) (exclusive of profit) in the proposal submitted in response to the issued RTOP or modification request.

6. If during the Contract Period of Performance, the Contractor’s original personnel are no longer available, the Contractor shall find personnel that have the same qualifications as the previous personnel. The Contractor shall be responsible for negotiating the labor rates for those personnel that have been provided in Table 1. The rates provided in Table 1 are the maximum that will be paid by the Government for any replacement personnel.

7. The maximum rates shall be governed by the effective date of the Task Order. Task Orders will use the prices for the 12-month period effective on the date the Task Order is issued. Modifications to Task Orders will reflect the rates of the “current 12-month” binding labor rate schedule. For example, if the rate schedule changes over on 1 November of each year, and a Task Order is issue on 1 September 2019 for 12 months work, the maximum rates will be the rates that were effective on 1 November 2018. Under the same assumptions, if a modification to the Task Order is required in December 2019, the labor rates effective on 1 November 2019 will apply.

8. The Government reserves the right to request certified cost or pricing date; or information other than certified cost or pricing data from the contractor at the task order level to assess the reasonableness of the proposed task order pricing.

If the offeror intends to provide Binding Rate Caps that are different for any or all Option Periods 1-4 from the Base Period, the offeror must provide a justification for the changed cap rates.

2. The Binding Cap Rates represent the maximum rates that the Contractor shall use when responding to all task order request issued by the Government. These Binding Cap Rates shall also apply to all modifications. The Contractor may propose lower rates for these when responding to the task order request or modification requests.

3. Adherence to these rates will be reviewed through submittal of supporting documentation by the

Contractor with each task order proposal. Failure to propose the binding rates or a lower rates may result in the Contractor’s task order proposal being rejected for award consideration.

Modifications to Task Orders will reflect the rates of the “current 12-month” Binding Cap Rate schedule. For example, if the rate schedule changes over on 1 November of each year, and a Task Order is issue on 1 September 2018 for 12 months work, the maximum rates will be the rates that were effective on 1 November 2017. Under the same assumptions, if a modification to the Task Order is required in December 2018, the Binding Cap Rates effective on 1 November 2018 will apply.

SUMMARY OF WORK

Section 01 11 00

SUMMARY OF WORK

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This is a solicitation for an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Rapid Disaster Infrastructure (RDI) Response Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) for Small Businesses (SBs). The shared contract capacity of the MATOC is $95 million for an ordering period of five (5) years: one (1) base year and four (4) one (1) year options.

2.0 BACKGROUND

This MATOC will be executed in support of the RDI Program. The RDI Program is a successor to the Security, Disaster, Infrastructure and Construction (SDIC) Program, with the exception that RDI does not include Tenant Renovations in Secure Spaces (TRSS) activities.

RDI and SDIC contracts require very similar management, planning, and execution. It is imperative that RDI contractors be capable of administering time-sensitive and cost reimbursement type projects.

3.0 SCOPE

This RDI MATOC facilitates time-sensitive disaster, infrastructure, and construction related activities in support of federally funded customers.

Projects may vary in size, complexity, and location, and will require a high degree of flexibility and adaptability. Contractors must respond quickly and effectively. The diverse scopes of work are time-sensitive, which necessitates a timely response in order to mitigate threat to life and property and/or operational impacts to the government. Examples include but are not limited to:

*Flood Recovery: flood control and water diversion projects, embankments, channel alignments and flood control structures in support of civil works missions.

*Infrastructure Recovery: restoration, repair, and demolition of facilities, utilities, real property systems, and other vital infrastructure requirements with time constraints that prohibit the use of other contract mechanisms.

*Emergency Management: response actions such as unwatering missions, debris recovery, temporary housing, and other actions to meet vital mission requirements.

*Military: construction of facilities, infrastructure, water and sanitation systems, electrical systems, natural gas and other energy systems, fences, lighting, and roads to support troop movements and other crucial military missions with time constraints that prohibit use of other contract mechanisms.

Each specific Task Order Request For Proposal will identify when the mobilization must commence; however, emergency recovery actions may require mobilization within three (3) days of Government Notification.

Projects may require incidental design and/or ecological/environmental, hazardous waste recovery, and munitions work.

This Scope also encompasses construction applications and technologies needed to support time-sensitive construction projects in various locations within the U.S. (defined as all 50 states). Individual Task Orders will further define specific project requirements once identified.

4.0 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS

The Contractor shall comply with all applicable Federal, State, and Local requirements, codes, policies, statutes, etc. Task Orders will be performed at a variety of locations, to include civilian sites and military installations. Coordination with installation’s force protection, and other governmental entities will require the Contractor to obtain and be familiar with the appropriate and applicable documents. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to identify and comply with all applicable requirements. Applicable documents may include, but are not limited to: Unified Facility Criteria (UFC), International Building Code (IBC), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the National Electric Code (NEC). When specified by Task Orders (TOs), the Contractor will also be required to follow military construction criteria.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS

The Contractor shall be cognizant of all appropriate environmental laws, regulations, and guidelines. The Contractor shall ensure that all work activities performed by his personnel, subcontractors and suppliers are executed as required by these laws and regulations. Any incident of noncompliance noted by the Contractor shall immediately be brought to the attention of the Contracting Officer or Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). A COR will be aapproved by the Contracting Officer and identified in each task order.

5.1 General

5.2 Permits/Approvals

The Contractor shall investigate requirements and obtain all applicable permits, licenses, approvals, certificates, etc., necessary to accomplish the work specified in the individual Task Orders. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer or Contracting Officer’s Representative of any delay in obtaining the necessary permits or approvals.

5.3 Treatment Storage and/or Disposal of Hazardous Materials

Under this RDI MATOC, Treatment Storage and/or Disposal of Hazardous Materials must be incidental. The Contractor shall ensure on-site management, transportation, storage, treatment, and disposal of all hazardous/special waste materials complies with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations.

6.0 SAFETYAND HEALTH

See Section 01 35 26 Governmental Safety Requirements. Individual Task Orders may contain additional requirements.

7.0 MANAGEMENT AND REPORTING INSTRUCTIONS

7.1 Work Plan (WP)

Immediately following Task Order award, the Contractor will submit a WP. The WP must be approved by the Government prior to start of on-site activities. Any deviation from the approved plan must be approved by the Contracting Officer or authorized representative.

The WP should fully describe activities that will be performed by the Contractor and shall contain, at a minimum, the following:

a. A Statement of work and objectives to be accomplished

b. A description of project implementation, to include the method of operation, type of equipment, personnel required, and other special considerations

c. A schedule that identifies requirements necessary to complete the required work, in addition to key milestones

d. Permits, licenses, certificates, and other pertinent compliance documents

e. An organizational chart and a roster of Key Personnel and their responsibilities

7.2 Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)

For each Task Order, the Contractor shall prepare and submit for approval a WBS compatible with the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) format for construction activities. The approved WBS shall be used to report the cost and schedule statuses of all required tasks.

7.3 Integrated Master Schedule (IMS)

The Contractor shall prepare and submit an IMS for approval. The IMS shall be in the form of a Gantt chart and shall include a Critical Path Method (CPM) analysis. The schedule shall be resource-loaded and correlated to the approved WBS.

7.4 Contractor’s Progress, Status, and Management Report (CPSMR)

The Contractor shall prepare and submit a CPSMR. The CPSMR shall be used by the Government to review and evaluate the progress of work and to identify existing or potential problem areas. The Contractor shall report progress and document all key events on a weekly basis. The CPSMR shall include a summary of the events that occurred during the reporting period, and shall discuss performance, identifying problems and proposed solutions, corrective actions taken, and unresolved issues.

7.5 Cost Performance Report (CPR)

The Contractor shall implement and maintain a performance measurement system to support the gathering of cost and schedule data, for the purpose of determining program status. The approved WBS shall be used for reporting cost. The CPR presents the baseline against which actual cost and schedule performance is measured. Submittals shall include appropriate cost figures and related data necessary to accurately ensure daily project costs and schedule status. This report shall go beyond the usual reporting of ‘Expenditures to Date’ and ‘Estimated Cost to Complete’ by establishing earned value factors. This will ensure that the project stays on budget and schedule. From these figures the Contractor shall develop time-phased spending ccurves that correlates work progress and the rate of expenditure. The CPR shall be submitted weekly.

7.6 RDI Program Cost Reimbursement Principles and Processes

Principles:

a. An ability to accurately track all costs on a daily basis and perform reasonable forecasts is paramount to the integrity of cost reimbursable contract management.

Without this ability, there is significant damage to the viability of the program.

b. If costs are not tracked accurately or are omitted, those errors must be brought to the attention of the appropriate USACE representatives immediately for appropriate resolution.

c. Cost reimbursable contracts require procurement strategies to maintain expectations for cost, schedule, quality, and safety. For example, the prime contractor may be required to self- perform higher risk elements of work under the cost reimbursement provisions and have subcontractors perform the well-defined/low risk elements of work under firm fixed price subcontracts.

Processes:

a. Project specific coordination will be held frequently (oftentimes on a daily basis) to support timely decision making and approval. The contractor, and selected subcontractor representatives, shall participate in the coordination to support needed decision making.

b. Daily Decision Making. Daily planning and execution will be vetted and approved by appropriate representatives from USACE and frequently within on-site command posts.

Further, the project will be managed and administered through daily work authorizations, daily cost reports, daily Quality Control Reports (QCRs) daily planning documents, and other deliverables necessary to perform the mission.

c. The RDI contractor shall adhere to the following RDI processes, which are not inclusive of all contract management and administration and other contract requirements:

1. Daily Work Authorization

a) Coordination meetings occur between USACE and Contractor.

b) Contractor develops Work Authorization Documents (WADs) (reference Attachment 1) for both Home and Field offices.

c) Contractor submits WADs to USACE.

d) USACE reviews and approves/disapproves WADs.

e) Contractor executes/procures USACE approved work.

2. Change Management:

a) In-Scope differing site condition is discovered.

b) Contractor holds meeting with USACE to discuss plans and resource requirements.

c) Contractor develops plan.

d) Contractor submits to USACE.

e) USACE reviews and approves plan.

f) Contractor executes/procures change items.

3. Invoicing:

a) Contractor reconciles approved costs.

b) Contractor develops invoice.

c) Contractor submits invoice.

d) USACE reviews and approves invoice.

e) USACE makes payment.

f) Contractor manages unallowable/unreasonable costs that are billed by providing credit on subsequent invoice.

4. Cost Tracking/Forecasting:

a) Contractor establishes a USACE approved Cost Accounting System.

b) Contractor holds meetings with USACE to develop Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)/and Cost Accounting procedures.

c) Contractor develops cost report.

d) Contractor submits cost report to USACE.

e) USACE reviews and approves cost report.

f) Contractor develops cost forecast based on approved costs incurred.

g) Contractor manages cost overruns/underruns (errors) accordingly and in concurrence with USACE.

h) Personnel who are authorized to expense money on cost reimbursable contracts must be identified and authorities clearly identified so that timely decisions are made so the project is not adversely impacted. Further, the Government must be included in spending decisions since it is responsible for reimbursement of all allowable, allocable, and reasonable costs.

5. Meetings

a) The Contractor shall attend and participate in required meetings. Examples include: daily command post meetings, site visits, pre-proposal, post-award, and pre-construction conferences, in addition to other meetings the Government considers necessary to support project activities.

b) The Contractor may also be required to participate in support meetings and teleconferences for the purpose of discussing technical issues, project progress, and status.

c) The Contractor shall prepare and submit for review agendas and presentation materials for such meetings. The Contractor may be required to prepare minutes for meetings attended.

d) Specific requirements will be addressed in each Task Order.
