AMENDEMENT 0002 - 01 11 00

REVISED 01 11 00 (AM#0002)

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 8(a) contractors. 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 v a r i o u s l o c a t i o n s w i t h i n t h e U . S . ( d e f i n e d a s a l l 5 0 s t a t e s , D i s t r i c t o f C o l u m b i a , a n d o u t l y i n g a r e a s ) Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, South Dakota, and North Dakota.

(AM#0002) 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 approved 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 ate’ 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 curves 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 need 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. 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 reviewed by appropriate representatives from USACE and frequently within on-site command posts. Further, the project will be managed and administered through daily work projections, 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 Projections

a) Coordination meetings occur between USACE and Contractor.
