ITEM(S) 0001 - PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

Historic Assets Concrete Investigation for the Libby Dam Historic District Libby Dam

Libby, Montana

PART 1

General Information

1. GENERAL: This is a non-personnel services contract to perform a surface assessment, and selective forensic investigation, and reporting on the condition of concrete historic buildings that contribute to the Libby Dam Historic District. Data on building features, materials, and component conditions will be obtained using both conventional evaluation methods and minimally invasive, forensic investigative methods, where necessary.

Other data fields will include historic photographs, drawings, site plans, treatment history and methods applied, as well as identify applicable historic preservation regulatory requirements and guidelines.

The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The contractor shall provide all personnel, technical equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to investigate and evaluate historic building conditions and prepare the management program as defined in this Performance Work Statement except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2 Background: Libby Dam was begun in 1966, and completed in 1972, with formal dedication ceremonies taking place in 1975. The dam face, powerhouse, visitor’s center, and other recreational features and amenities were designed by the Pacific Northwest’s foremost practitioner of Mid-Modernism, and chief designer of the Seattle World’s Fair of 1962, Paul Thiry. Altogether, these buildings, structures, and features have been determined eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places as the Libby Dam Historic District (District). Because of the widespread use of concrete in the District, the color, texture, and execution of the concrete materials are important character defining qualities that warrant careful preservation planning and treatment.

In order for the Corps to maintain compliance with Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act, the District’s built environment resources and landscapes must be treated according to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation (36 CFR 67). Mechanical damage, water migration, and biological growth, as well as inappropriate maintenance and repair episodes have compromised the architectural values of these resources, and in some cases may be contributing to further surficial or structural decline.

This project work is being requested to arrest ongoing deterioration or decline of concrete materials, stem further inappropriate treatment of concrete surfaces, and guide future repair and treatment.

1.3 Objectives:

Examination of building interiors and exteriors to identify ongoing surficial degradation or discoloration of concrete surfaces, as well as failing or inappropriate repairs.

Examination of select subsurface areas using appropriate minimally invasive forensic methods such as acousto-ultrasonic tools or resistance technology (SINT) to investigate potential underlying structural failure

Identification of critical, ongoing points of water access and damage to structural components Prioritization of critical and less critical repair needs Laboratory identification of concrete component type, color, and proportions for use as a repair and aintenance standard Identification of biological growth or other surface accretions or staining; recommendation for cleaning and removal Development of a report summarizing conditions and recommending treatments, as well as projected costs

1.4 Scope: Ultrasonic and Forensic Evaluation. Investigative methods may include minimally invasive testing of concrete substrate using SINT (resistograph), echo stress wave, and acousto-ultrasonic technologies for the purposes of identifying cracks, voids, de-bonding, or other material failure, and to identify access or entry points for damaging agents such as water. Resistograph technology must utilize drill bits of a size not to exceed 3mm to ensure concrete materials are not damaged and testing areas are not visually detectable. The resistance to the drill penetration shall be graphed on a 1:1 basis for immediate analysis, and results tabulated and interpreted in the report.

1.5 Period of Performance: The period of performance shall be for four months from date of award.

1.6 General Information

1.6.1 Quality Control: The contractor shall develop and maintain an effective quality control program to ensure services are performed in accordance with this PWS.

Historic Concrete Assessment and Treatment Recommendations for Libby Dam Historic District Libby, Montana

1 March 2016

1. Overview The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Seattle District (Corps) is obligated under Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) to identify and nominate properties eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, and to preserve and maintain significant properties according to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings and Structures. Libby Dam, to include the dam embankment, spillway, powerhouse, visitor’s center, landscape, administrative, and recreational structures and amenities has been determined eligible for the National Register as the Libby Dam Historic District (District).

This QASP addresses a task that will help the Corps satisfy its Section 110 responsibilities, and improve management decisions for the treatment of historic properties within the District.

The Technical Center of Expertise for the Preservation of Historic Structures and Buildings (TCX) serves as the Corps’ technical lead in matters relating to the treatment and management of the historic built environment, and provides technical guidance to managers and personnel with oversight of historic buildings and structures. In order to ensure the Corps is fully in compliance with the NHPA, the TCX has developed a PWS to engage expertise in historic masonry and concrete investigations, conservation, repair, and restoration to assess the material condition of the District’s concrete structures. The end product will be a report that identifies surface and select subsurface conditions, recommends methods for treatment, and prioritizes needed repairs.

This performance-based Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) sets forth the procedures and guidance the Quality Assurance Representative (QAR) will use in evaluating the technical performance of the Contractor in accordance with the terms and conditions of the performance work statement (PWS). The QASP objective is to define Government procedures to be used to verify that appropriate performance and quality assurance methods are used in the management of this performance-based contract. The purpose of the QASP is to assure that performance of specific activities and completion of milestones are accomplished in accordance with all requirements set forth in the Statement of Work (PWS).

This QASP describes the mechanism for documenting noteworthy accomplishments or discrepancies for work performed by the Contractor. Information generated from Government’s surveillance activities will directly feed into the evaluation of performance discussions with the Contractor. The intent is to ensure that the Contractor performs in accordance with performance metrics set forth in the contract documents and Government receives the quality of services called for in the contract. The QASP details how and when Government will monitor, evaluate, and document Contractor performance on the PWS. The QASP is intended to accomplish the following:

Define the role and responsibilities of participating Government representatives.

Define the key milestones/deliverables that will be assessed.

Define performance standards for key milestones/deliverables.

Describe the surveillance methodology that will be employed by Government in assessing the Contractor’s performance.

Describe the surveillance documentation process and provide copies of the form that Government will use in evaluating the Contractor’s performance.

Outline corrective action procedures.

2. Roles and Responsibilities

The USACE Contracting Officer (KO) has overall responsibility for overseeing the Contractor’s performance.

The KO is responsible for monitoring of the Contractor’s performance in the areas of contract compliance, and contract administration; reviewing the QAR’s assessment of the Contractor’s performance; and resolving all differences between the QAR’s assessment and the Contractor’s assessment of performance. It is the KO that assures the Contractor receives impartial, fair, and equitable treatment under the contract. The KO is ultimately responsible for the final determination of the adequacy of the Contractor’s performance.

The Quality Assurance Representative (QAR) is officially responsible for technical administration of the project and assures proper Government surveillance of the Contractor’s performance. The QAR is the key primary party responsible for monitoring, assessing, recording, and reporting on the technical performance of the Contractor as indicated in the performance schedule.

It is not the responsibility of QAR to perform quality control for the Contractor or to execute work that the Contractor was contracted to perform. The QAR will coordinate all Government comments on written deliverables, and the QAR will evaluate and rate the Contractor at the end of the contract. The QAR will work with the Contractor to identify and correct any deficiencies prior to those deficiencies adversely affecting the work. USACE, through the QAR with any necessary technical representative, will also perform quality assurance review of the Contractor’s methodology during any field investigations. It is the responsibility of USACE to ensure that the Contractor receives Government comments on all deliverables within the allotted time on each of the submittals.

3. Performance Standards for Key Milestones/Deliverables The Contractor’s performance will be evaluated by assessing the key milestones/deliverables described in the statement of work according to two standards: quality and timeliness. For each of the performance standards, USACE will assign one of two ratings of the Contractor’s performance: acceptable, or unacceptable (as shown in Table 1). Further detail on each of these standards is outlined in Tables 2-5.

Table 1. Performance Standards, All Tasks

Performance Standard Acceptable Performance Unacceptable Performance

Quality Contractor meets or exceeds the requirements in the PWS for the milestone/deliverable.

Contractor does not meet the requirements in the PWS for the milestone/ deliverable.

Timeliness

Contractor provides milestone/deliverable according to or ahead of the schedule outlined in the

PWS.

Contractor provides milestone/deliverable behind the schedule outlined in the PWS.

If a milestone/deliverable is rated as being of unacceptable quality at the time that the PWS deadline for the milestone/deliverable expires, the milestone/deliverable will automatically receive an unacceptable rating for timeliness. At no point will a milestone/deliverable receive an acceptable rating for timeliness if it is rated as being of unacceptable quality. If timeliness is unacceptable it may be changed to acceptable if due date is renegotiated and met according to the PWS. If quality is unacceptable it may be changed to acceptable when it is determined by USACE to meet the standards in the PWS. Overall acceptable performance on a milestone/deliverable requires ratings of acceptable for both the quality and timeliness standards.

4. Surveillance Methodology

The surveillance methods listed below will be used in the administration of this QASP.

100% Inspection: At the completion of all key milestones and deliverables, performance will be evaluated by inspecting 100% of all milestones and deliverables (e.g., document review). The Government will document performance for each completed milestone/deliverable prior to payment, as described in Section 6.0.

Periodic Progress Inspection: At the Government’s discretion, periodic teleconferences and/or site visits may be conducted to evaluate progress toward key milestones and deliverables. The KO or QAR may call a teleconference if he/she believes that deficiencies exist that must be addressed prior to milestone/deliverable completion. The KO or QAR will assure that any such request does not create a claim by the Contractor. While corrective action or re-performance will be required if necessary, the Contractor will not be financially penalized for unacceptable performance recorded in periodic progress reports, provided that final performance evaluation of the milestone/deliverable is deemed acceptable.

5. Surveillance Documentation Government expects Contractor to perform at the acceptable level. The QAR will use a performance evaluation form to record evaluation of the Contractor’s performance for each milestone and deliverable in accordance with the methodology described in the PWS and QASP. The QAR will provide the performance evaluation for the Government's contract record. The QAR must substantiate, through narratives in the form, all unacceptable ratings and file the report in the Government's contract record. At a minimum, the evaluation form will indicate actual and scheduled delivery times and number of reviews required to achieve the final product.

When a milestone/deliverable receives an overall unacceptable rating, the Contractor shall explain, within 14 days, in writing to the QAR why performance was unacceptable, how performance will be returned to acceptable levels, and how recurrence of the problem will be prevented in the future. The QAR or KO will immediately discuss any unacceptable rating with the Contractor to assure that corrective action is promptly initiated.

6. Payment and Corrective Action

Full payment for a milestone/deliverable will be provided upon verification of overall acceptable performance, as rated on quality and timeliness. This verification will be recorded in a performance evaluation specifying overall Contractor performance as either acceptable or unacceptable for the milestone/deliverable. If a milestone/deliverable is unacceptable re-performance is required until the milestone/deliverable is acceptable.

7. Quality Assurance Surveillance Forms

Attached are the quality assurance surveillance forms that will be used by USACE to detail any required corrective actions. Additional quality assurance feedback will come in the form of comments on documents, USACE performance evaluations, field checklists, and letters to the Contractor.
