PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Washington Aqueduct Division PWS for: Dredge Cable Inspection and

Lubrication

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND: The Washington Aqueduct’s mission is to produce potable drinking water for the nation’s capital and its surrounding jurisdictions in Northern Virginia. In connection with its potable water treatment program, the Washington Aqueduct maintains 3 mechanical dredges to remove accumulated sediment form the raw water before it begins the chemical treatment process. This sediment accumulates in 3 separate basins or ponds and is collected by these mechanical dredges. At each basin/pond a mechanical dredge traverses the collection basin by using a network of wire rope cables and a series of electric drum winch’s mounted at specific locations. These winches are controlled by a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) that has been programed to operate as necessary to position the dredge at appropriate locations in the collection basin/pond during operation.

Metrics and methods are designed to determine if performance exceeds, meets, or does not meet a given standard and acceptable quality level. A rating scale shall be used to determine a high to low, or neutral outcome. The following ratings shall be used:

HIGH:

Likely to cause significant disruption of schedule, increased cost or degradation of performance; risk may be unacceptable even with special Contractor emphasis and close government monitoring

MODERATE:

Can potentially cause some disruption of schedule, increased cost, or degradation of performance;

special Contractor emphasis and close government monitoring will probably be able to overcome difficulties

LOW:

Has little potential to cause disruption of schedule, increased cost or degradation of performance; normal Contractor effort and normal government monitoring will probably overcome difficulties

NEUTRAL: Unable to provide an evaluation.

7. DOCUMENTING PERFORMANCE

a. ACCEPTABLE PERFORMANCE.

The Government shall document positive performance. Since this is an ongoing performance requirement, the contract performance is completely satisfied once the POP has expired. Performance reports are not anticipated to be required at this time.

b. UNACCEPTABLE PERFORMANCE.

When unacceptable performance occurs, the COR shall inform the contractor. This will normally be in writing unless circumstances necessitate verbal communication. In any case the COR shall document the discussion and place it in the COR file.

When the COR determines formal written communication is required, the COR shall prepare a Contract Discrepancy Report (CDR), and present it to the contractor's task manager or on-site representative.

The contractor shall acknowledge receipt of the CDR in writing. The CDR will specify if the contractor is required to prepare a corrective action plan to document how the contractor shall correct the unacceptable performance and avoid a recurrence. The CDR will also state how long after receipt the contractor has to present this corrective action plan to the COR. The Government shall review the contractor's corrective action plan to determine acceptability. Any CDRs may become a part of the supporting documentation for contract payment deductions, fixed fee deductions, award fee nonpayment, or other actions deemed necessary by the KO.
