REVISED SOW - AMENDMENT 1

STATEMENT OF WORK

Provide Technical Support for Army Utilities Privatization (UP) Evaluations

18 July 2016

1.0 OBJECTIVE

Contractor shall provide technical assistance for the Army Utilities Privatization (UP) Program, as directed by the Army Office of Army Chief of Staff for Installation Management (OACSIM) to include pre-award contract technical support for contracts scheduled for award in FY16 through FY17, with the option years from FY18 through FY21, as well as associated financial management analysis and technical reports. Contractor shall have the capability to provide additional phases of equally priced post-award contract technical support, described below, whether or not included in the current scope of base work and option years.

1.1 This task order contract will be awarded as a one-year base period award with four one-year option periods which will be awarded based on the Government’s need at the time. Description of the tasks and associated sites are detailed in paragraph 7.0 below. Task orders will describe the specific work to be executed and the period of performance for that work.

1.2 Security.

1.2.1 All contractor employees who work for the successful Offeror selected to support this contract must meet the minimum requirements of Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 (HSPD-12), Federal Information Processing Standards Publication (FIPS PUB) Number 201-1, Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Guidance M-05-24 and OACSIM requirements. The complete OACSIM security specifications can be found at APPENDIX A.

1.2.2 For contractors working on-site at the secure Government facility, the contractor awarded the contract must have a current facility security clearance granted by the Defense Industrial Security Clearance Office (DISCO) or be sponsored by a Government or DISCO cleared Contractor company for a facility security clearance IAW DoD 5220.22-M, National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM) before the contractor employee can be granted access to the Government worksite.

1.2.3 The Government is not responsible for assisting the Contractor's staff in acquiring the necessary security clearance; it is the Contractor's responsibility to obtain the appropriate level security clearance for contractor personnel.

2.0 TASKS

The scope of services is to provide technical support at numerous Army installations and at the Pentagon as needed to execute the Army UP Program schedule for solicitation, evaluation, cost analysis, potential contract award, and transition of utility systems from government ownership to private ownership in conjunction with a Utility Service

Contract. Work includes Program management technical support and coordination with the Army UP Leadership Team from: OACSIM; other government services contractor(s); Assistant Secretary of the Army for Installations Energy and Environment (ASA-IE&E); ASA for Cost and Economics (ASA-CE); contracting authorities at Defense Logistics Agency (DLA Energy), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Army Contracting Command (ACC);

affected Installations, Regions, and Headquarters of U.S. Army Installation Management Command (IMCOM), Army Materiel Command (AMC), U.S. Army Reserve (USAR), and other program stakeholders.

All work performed shall reflect thorough, professional, detailed knowledge of utility industry standards and UP references, including but not limited to, Congressional guidance of 10 U.S. Code (USC) 2688, 10 USC 2813, and National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) FY 2014, Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) guidance from Defense Reform Initiative Directive (DRID) #9 and DRID #49, and other applicable OSD and Army policies.

Support will be provided under direction of the UP Program Manager, Mr. Curt Wexel, on staff at the ACSIM. The Contractor will also work closely with other staff and offices supporting the Army UP Leadership Team. Mr.

Bernard Givan or other designee, at the Energy Division of the U.S. Army Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville (CEHNC) will act as the COR on this contract.

The Contractor will provide support with one or more senior project managers with significant knowledge of the utility privatization program needs to execute required functions. Contractor is to assist in coordinating the activities of the UP Team to keep program execution on-schedule. Pentagon, on-site attendance is required for the majority of activities, for which ACSIM will provide a cubicle and laptop or computer equipment for the use of the Contractor on-site staff. Work includes associated support for program execution, such as meetings, teleconferences, support for or presentation of briefings, and tracking of milestones needed for timely program execution.

The Army has multi-year requirements for technical support to evaluate utility systems scheduled for UP from FY16 through FY21. Since an evaluation with full and open competition typically takes at least 24 to 36 months for pre-award functions, work on scheduled FY20 awards normally must begin during FY16. Limited source or sole-source competitions require somewhat less work and may be on an expedited schedule. The US Army requires reasonable flexibility to add, delete or substitute utility systems at different locations due to priority and schedule changes, or in response to changing requirements caused by mission changes, Army programmatic changes, or guidance by OSD and Congress. Technical support for the UP schedule consists of six roughly equal phases of UP contract pre-award support and post-award transition listed below in phases 2.1 to 2.6 (phases 1 to 6), and further detailed in APPENDIX B. Not all phases of work will be needed for each site. For purposes of pricing proposals, post-award requirements are to be costed at 70% of the nominal cost per phase for awards scheduled for FY17 or later, to reflect a typical 70% award rate. However, in the event of award, post-award phases will be exercised at the full negotiated cost per phase. The Installation locations and applicable work phases are listed in the UP schedule at APPENDIX C, dated 17 May 2016, for technical support under this task order contract; locations and schedule are subject to change.

2.1 Site Analysis (Phase 1) Develop Installation utility system inventory, Government Cost Estimates, and technical reference libraries.

2.2 Requirements (Phase 2) Develop contract Section J’s, deficiency lists, technical libraries, and other supporting materials for issuance of a Request for Proposal (RFP).

2.3 Evaluation (Phase 3) Support contractor site visits and Government technical and cost evaluation teams.

2.4 Cost Analysis (Phase 4) Review and update Government Cost Estimates, perform life-cycle cost analyses, prepare Certified Economic Analyses (CEA), and UP award decision documents.

2.5 Transition Support (Phase 5) Contractor is to assist each Installation through contract post-award transition activities typically completed within 6 months to one year, to include processing of real estate and Bill of Sale documents, assisting joint inventory, and development of a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP), and related contract oversight processes and reporting.

2.6 Post-Transition Support (Phase 6) Future work under this phase is To Be Negotiated (TBN).

Contractor is to complete a high-level, post-award assessment analysis and report for each site, in accordance with DoD guidelines, typically about two years after award. Additionally, perform at least one more comprehensive review, from the UP contract portfolio. Utilize finding from transition support for application across the portfolio. Conduct annual training workshops, prepare certain high-level briefs and technical papers.
