STATEMENT OF WORK

Statement of Work For

Single Award Task Order Construction Contract For

The Real Property Services Field Office

1.0 Purpose: The Real Property Services Field Office’s (RSFO) mission is to provide all aspects of real estate leasing, acquisition, facility management, and associated engineering, planning, and design and construction services (to include standard military design and construction) for the secure community. Projects are often time-critical and of a highly visible nature. The purpose of this contract is for RSFO to have the ability to respond rapidly and professionally to Government requirements, without compromising safety, current mission requirements, and/or readiness.

2.0 General Requirements: The scope of this contract encompasses a broad variety of major and minor repair, modification, rehabilitation, alterations, Design-Build, Design-Bid-Build and new construction projects in support of DOD organizations and other agencies, organizations, and branches of the U.S. Government and other customers within the secure community. The geographic locations covered under this contract are primarily for the Washington/Baltimore corridor and may include areas within the Continental United States (CONUS) and Hawaii.

Customers (Users) to be serviced by this contract will generally belong to secure agencies.

This contract performs both Design-Build and Design-Bid-Build construction services. Design services will only be applied to Design-Build task orders and no task orders will be issued solely for design.

Task orders issued against this contract may include the following types of work: construct new buildings, architectural renovations, mechanical upgrades and repairs, electrical upgrades and repairs, major utility work (including power substation and chilled water plant with all associated duct bank construction), paving, roofing, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, site preparation, demolition, and all other activities associated with general and heavy construction. It may also include: communications systems, security systems, data systems infrastructure, Heating Cooling and Air Condition systems, Counter-Terrorism, and Anti-Terrorism Force Protection construction, and Secret Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIF) construction. The contractor will be responsible for integrating, managing, and executing all aspects of all work related to each task order.

All task orders issued under this contract will be firm fixed price.

Projects will be issued via task orders. Multiple task orders may be issued concurrently. The contractor shall be responsible for integrating, managing, coordinating, and executing all aspects of the design and construction work ordered under this contract in accordance with all elements of the individual task orders.

The Contractor shall provide a flexible and multi-disciplined work force to include a team of subcontractors. Work may be performed in either secure or non secure sites. As such, the contractor is required to maintain a balanced work force of Top Secret (TS) cleared personnel to work on such projects.

It is mandatory that the prime contractor have an active Top Secret Facility Site Clearance during the duration of this contract.

The work requirements to be executed via this contract are a part of the mission of RSFO. Other contractors and Government personnel perform services which fall within the general description contained in this contract. The contractor has no entitlement to any work in the mission area. It is the discretion of the Government as to how to execute work. The Government’s minimum obligation under this contract is set forth in other areas of the contract. This is not a requirements contract or a Job Order Contract. This is a single award task order construction contract (SATOC).

3.0 Points of Contacts: The nature of this contract requires a strong and effective partnership between the Government and the contractor. The contractor's management and supervision will interface with the Government through different personnel. The Contracting Officer, the Contacting Officer's Representative (COR) and Project Managers will interface with the contractor. Each position holds different roles and responsibilities. It is imperative that the contractor understand these roles and responsibilities. The Contracting Officer is the only person that has the authority to alter the terms and conditions of the contract. A COR has certain authorities for oversight of the contract. These authorities will be officially issued in writing to both the COR and the contractor. Project Managers have the overall responsibility for the individual projects as issued via task orders.

The contractor shall provide a single point of contact (POC), with an alternate, who shall both be available 24 hours per day, seven days per week, and 365 days per year via telephone.

4.0 Contractor’s Management and Supervision: The contractor's effort will extend beyond conventional single job design and/or construction efforts in that the contractor must plan, program, design, schedule, coordinate, manage, construct, and otherwise execute a flow of several independent orders simultaneously. The contractor must be capable of adjusting to a wide variation between unrelated tasks without significantly impacting on-going work.

The contractor is expected to select quality subcontractors and design firms as their team members and as necessary to perform elements of work. The contractor is expected to effectively manage and provide project resources to ensure that the Government is provided with a coordinated level of effort on all assigned task orders.

The Government must consent prior to any changes or deviations to the contractor’s key personnel from those accepted in the successful proposal. Since the contractor’s management has the only direct interface with the Government, it is essential that all contractor key personnel remain briefed on the status of all tasks within the scope of this contract, such that the contractor can insure a prompt response to new or changed conditions with a minimum of disturbance to the Government. The contractor, during negotiations and prior to task order award, is expected to alert the Government to any areas of the project(s) that presents unique challenges that have the potential to increase or decrease the project cost or schedule. Together, the Government and the contractor will work through all project challenges to arrive at a defined scope of work, schedule and a firm fixed price for the defined requirement.

The contractor will be required to schedule and run master schedule meeting which shall review all current task orders, their status and any issues. This meeting shall be attended by contractor’s management team, at least one officer of the contractor’s company (corporation or joint venture), the Government Project and Program Managers, and the Contracting Officer. The meeting will be held at the Real Property Services Field Office.

5.0 Work Categories: The work included may vary from routine general construction to installation of technically complex systems. Historically, the following types of task orders have been issued on this type of contract:

• Electrical systems repair, construction or replacement

• Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, and foundation systems repair, construction, or replacement

• Utility Infrastructure and Systems repair, construction or replacement

• Renovations, HVAC upgrades, Paving, Fencing.

• Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection (AT/FP) features

• Fire protection, Sprinkler, and alarm systems repair, construction or replacement

• Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIF) with Electro Magnetic Radiation (EMR) shielding

• Supervisory Control and Data (SCADA) and Energy Management System (EMS)

• Security Systems

All task orders will clearly define the work required to the greatest extent possible and shall indicate whether classified (with security clearance) or unclassified (without security clearance) design and construction workers must be used for each task order. The work definitions will vary from basic narrative descriptions to detailed plans and specifications, depending on the requirements, size, and complexity of the tasks. The jobs included will require a variety of professional management, architectural, engineering, and craft skills.

Task order Scopes of Work (SOW) may contain complete drawings and specifications. Other task orders may only provide a narrative scope of work with defined performance objectives. These will require the contractor to secure the services of licensed design professionals to provide drawing and specifications, and coordinate construction trades in order to perform tasks of a Design-Build nature. The contractor shall be required to have a professional architect and/or engineer, licensed and registered as required by federal, state and local laws and regulations as well as any local jurisdictions in the state where the project is located, to stamp and sign the drawings as required.

6.0 Contractor Provided Items: As part of the basic contract, the contractor shall provide the following:

These include the Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Heavy Construction, Light Commercial, Site Work & Landscaping, Concrete & Masonry, and the Interior Databases and books. The Square Foot, Assemblies and Green Buildings Cost databases and cost data books shall be used as required, without regard to the databases and books references above. The Facilities Construction, Facilities Maintenance and Repair and Commercial Renovation Cost Databases and Cost Data Books shall not be used to price any work unless specifically required by the Task Order Statement of Work or by the Contracting Officer.

Three sets of books for each of these titles shall also be provided.

The contractor will provide the newest software and 25 licenses and three sets of books in January of each year throughout the duration of the contract.

6.2 RS RS Means Online Estimating Seminar: The Contractor is required to provide one Unit Price Estimating seminar.

It is anticipated that approximately 20 Government personnel will attend.

It is the Government’s intent that one formal partnering session be required throughout the duration of the contract.

However, if the Government or the contractor deems additional partnering sessions, informal or formal, are required, these sessions shall be scheduled by the contractor. Additional costs incurred for these sessions shall be a contractor expense and will not be added into the contract.

7.0 Government Provided Items: As part of the basic contract, the Government shall not provide any items.

2.3 Travel and per diem costs for all projects shall be determined on an individual task order basis as a separate line item cost to be reimbursed in accordance with Joint Travel Regulations and shall not be applied to any coefficient. It is generally not the intention to include travel and per diem in these task orders unless specifically identified in the SOW, it should be implied that it will not be paid. If the contractor believes travel and per diem are necessary and it is not included in the SOW, the contractor may ask permission from the Contracting Officer for inclusion.

2.4 The coefficient(s) for Design-Build task orders shall contain the LEED requirements to be certifiable and meet the level for Silver. Higher level (Gold, Platinum, etc.) and full accreditation (via USGBC) shall be priced as a non pre-priced line item if required by the scope or work for the individual task orders.

3.0 Task Order Pricing:

3.1. For each task order, the contractor shall make a site visit prior to completing their proposal. A field survey of the project shall be included with the proposal.

3.2. The task order firm fixed-price shall be arrived at by adding all of the RS MEANS line items and multiplying that total by the appropriate coefficient. The RS MEANS lines item totals are arrived at by multiplying the RS Means unit cost from the “including Overhead and Profit” column by the Number of Units.

4.0 Pricing Methods:

4.1. RS RS Means Pricing. Utilize RS RS Means line item cost from the “Total with Overhead and Profit” column.

This method is required unless requested and approve by the Contracting Officer prior to submission of proposal.

4.2. Alternate Price Method (Pre-Priced). Where a suitable match between the cost items required and those published in RS Means may not be found, combining labor from one published item with the materials and equipment from another may arrive at a fair and reasonable cost. In these cases the proposal construction line item shall be presented as a pair of construction items, with the descriptions amended to note: “Labor only” and “Material only” along with the RS Means reference numbers to permit the Government to evaluate the applicability of the item to the intended construction scope. Each line of the pair shall include its published proportion of overhead and profit. The selected RS Means line item shall be subject to Government approval. The alternate price method shall not be used when a suitable approximate or edited RS Means line item is available. Cost items derived in this manner must be delineated as required. A minimum of 90% of the total construction proposal cost must be calculated using RS Means pre-priced cost line items. The appropriate pre-priced coefficient applies to any line item utilizing this method.

4.3. Approximate Price Method (Pre-Priced). Where a suitable match between the cost items required and those published in RS Means may not be found, an item that closely matches may be substituted with the concurrence of the Government. The work item selected must be the closest match available from the RS Means published data as approved by the Contracting Officer. Cost items derived in this manner must be delineated as required. A minimum of 90% of the total construction proposal cost must be calculated using RS Means pre-priced cost line items. The appropriate pre-priced coefficient applies to any line item utilizing this method.

4.4. Edited Price Method (Pre-Priced). Where a suitable match between the cost items required and those published in RS Means may not be found, an edited line item may be substituted. The edited method is similar to the approximate method except that the description of the work is edited to match the required construction, as approved by the Contracting Officer. Each line shall include its published proportion of overhead and profit. Cost items derived in this manner must be delineated as required. A minimum of 90% of the total construction proposal cost must be calculated using RS Means pre-priced cost line items. The appropriate pre-priced coefficient applies to any line item utilizing this method.

4.5. Non Pre-Priced Method. Where a suitable match between the cost items required and those published in RS RS Means may not be found, the contractor may propose a unit cost by using a non pre-priced item. Non pre-priced items shall be supported by three responsive bids. Non pre-priced items that encompass scopes larger than line items (i.e. trade bid) shall be considered non-responsive. Non pre-priced line items exceeding 10% of the price of the task order must be approved in advance by the Contracting Officer. Unit costs established other than by RS Means pre-priced unit costs must be clearly identified to the satisfaction of the Government or they will be disallowed.

4.6 Architect Engineer Price Schedule (AEPS). Utilize AEPS line item costs for additional design and consulting services if additional Architect and Engineering services are necessary as identified in the SOW or as authorized by the Contracting Officer.

The total of the non pre-priced total line item costs shall not exceed 10% of the total proposal cost of each task order.

NOTE: This method shall be used in modifications if the Contracting Officer authorizes re-design efforts. If the non-prepriced items exceed 10%, written permission from the Contracting Officer must be given.

5.0 Period of Performance:

5.1 The period of performance of the base contract shall be five years from the date of the contract award.

Terms of the contract shall remain in full force and effect in their application to such task orders for the life of the task order.

5.3 Periods of Performance for each task order shall be identified in the scope of work. Failure to meet contract deadlines and milestones shall be reflect in the contractor’s evaluation of performance on both the task order and the overall contract. Additional remedies as allowed by the FAR clauses may be utilized to include the assessment of liquidated damages. Amount of liquidated damages will be included in each task order.

6.0 Place of Performance:

6.1 The place of performance for the base contract is primarily located in the Washington/Baltimore area, but may be used throughout the Continental United States (CONUS) and Hawaii.

6.2 It is estimated that 80% of the task orders issued on this contract will be issued within the Washington/Baltimore area. It is anticipated that the other 20% of the task orders will be issued outside of that area.

6.3 There is no cost differential for location. The national average of 1.0 shall be used on all task orders.

7.0 Task Order Proposal Preparation:

7.1 Task orders shall be initiated with a Request For Proposal (RFP) signed by the Contracting Officer, which includes the Government’s Statement of Work (SOW).

At the meeting, the Government Project Manager (PM) shall review the Scope of Work (SOW) with the contractor. The SOW may consist of anything from a list of project performance objectives to a set of 100% construction drawings. At the conclusion of the initial meeting the contractor and the Government shall agree on the schedule for the next step in the project development process. The contractor shall perform a pre-proposal field survey to ascertain the conditions present at the construction site that may impact the scope, schedule, or budget. This site visit shall be documented by the contractor and presented to the Government for review and approval with the contractor’s proposal and prior to issuing any task order.

The design deliverables portion of the work shall be executed by professional architects and engineers licensed and be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction scheduled to receive the Construction work. The design deliverables produced shall be detailed as required by the scope for each task order. The design deliverables shall meet all CADD standards applicable and required by the Government for each task order. During the process of providing the design deliverables, the contractor shall promptly alert the Government of any requests by the Government that will cause the construction cost or schedule to increase beyond that in the initial construction proposal. When so notified, the Government shall either, a) reject the change in scope requested by the Government, b) offset the cost increase with a corresponding decrease in other areas of the project scope to return to budget or c) issue a change order altering the project cost or schedule.

7.6 The contractor shall transmit proposals electronically, by RS Means of e-mail, computer disk, or network connection. Electronic transmissions shall be readable using Microsoft Office, Microsoft Excel, or other approved software. CDs shall be appropriately labeled as to the classification of the CD, the contract number and title of project.
