1. Introduction

The Contractor shall be responsible for providing a full range of environmental remediation services to customers of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The environmental remediation services consist of environmental compliance, environmental restoration, environmental conservation, pollution prevention, erosion and sediment control, storm water and water reuse, safety and industrial hygiene, quality assurance, facilities maintenance, inspection, and energy management. Traditional construction is related to restoration (including the construction of support facilities), renovations, repairs, and modernization of existing facilities. The contractor shall furnish all materials, equipment, supplies, personnel, and all other services required to perform the environmental services and Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization support outlined in this performance work statement and as specifically identified in the individual task orders.

1.1 Scope

The contractor shall furnish all materials, equipment, supplies, personnel, and all other services required to perform the environmental services and Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization support outlined in this statement of work and as specifically identified in the individual task orders. The services required by this contract will be provided for the customers of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, South Atlantic Division (SAD), and the Southeastern Regional Environmental Office of the Installation Management Agency (SERO). This includes, but is not limited to the states of Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and other locations within the SAD Area of Responsibility (AOR). Work may also be performed at other Federal Facilities outside the above-stated geographical boundary on an excepted basis as determined by the Contracting Officer or in accordance with MOA (Memoranda of Agreement) with other USACE Districts. While the SERO establishes the primary geographical area of responsibility for this contract, it is not limited to only Army customers. The Contractor may be required to perform tasks on-site or at their own facilities.

Task orders may use performance-based work statements (PWSs). A PWS structures all aspects of an acquisition around the purpose of the work to be performed and does not dictate how the work is to be accomplished. It is written to ensure that contractors are given the freedom to determine how to meet the Government’s performance objectives and provides for payment only when the results meet or exceed these objectives. It maximizes contractor control of work processes and allows for innovation in approaching various work requirements. A PWS emphasizes performance that can be contractually defined so that the results of the contractor’s effort can be measured in terms of technical and quality achievement, schedule progress, or cost performance. The goal of Performance-Based Acquisition (PBA) is to:

a. Save money by reducing contract costs from elimination of unnecessary effort, through innovation by the contractor, and also by reducing Government surveillance.

b. Enable Government to shift its emphasis from processes to outputs.

c. Hold contractors accountable for the end results.

d. Ensure that contractors are given the freedom to determine how to meet Government’s performance objectives.

A performance work statement (PWS) may be prepared for each individual task order. The PWS will include specific performance objectives and performance elements.

The Contractor shall develop a Task/Delivery Order QCP and maintain an effective quality control program to ensure services are performed in accordance with the IDIQ contract and each individual PWS. The Contractor shall develop and implement procedures to identify, prevent, and ensure non-recurrence of defective services. The Contractors QCP is the means by which he assures himself that his work complies with the requirement of the contract.

The finalized QCP will be accepted by the Government at the time of the award of the Task/Delivery Order. The Contracting Officer may notify the Contractor of required modifications to the plan during the period of performance. The Contractor then shall coordinate suggested modifications and obtain acceptance of the plan by the Contracting Officer. Any modifications to the program during the period of performance shall be provided to the

Contracting Officer for review no later than 10 working days prior to effective date of the change. The QCP shall be subject to the Governments review and approval. The Government may find the QCP "unacceptable" whenever the Contractors procedures do not accomplish quality control objective(s). The Contractor shall revise the QCP within 10 working days from receipt of notice that QCP is found "unacceptable."

4.5.2 Quality Assurance

Performance Standards and Quality Assurance Surveillance Plans (QASPs) are addressed in Section G.

(a) The Contracting Officer may, at any time, by written order to the Contractor, require the Contractor to stop all, or any part, of the work called for by this contract for a period of 90 days after the order is delivered to the Contractor, and for any further period to which the parties may agree. The order shall be specifically identified as a stop-work order issued under this clause. Upon receipt of the order, the Contractor shall immediately comply with its terms and take all reasonable steps to minimize the incurrence of costs allocable to the work covered by the order during the period of work stoppage.

(1) Cancel the stop-work order; or

(2) Terminate the work covered by the order as provided in the Default, or the Termination for Convenience of the Government, clause of this contract.

(b) If a stop-work order issued under this clause is canceled or the period of the order or any extension thereof expires, the Contractor shall resume work. The Contracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment in the delivery schedule or contract price, or both, and the contract shall be modified, in writing, accordingly, if--

(1) The stop-work order results in an increase in the time required for, or in the Contractor's cost properly allocable to, the performance of any part of this contract; and

(2) The Contractor asserts its right to the adjustment within 30 days after the end of the period of work stoppage;

provided, that, if the Contracting Officer decides the facts justify the action, the Contracting Officer may receive and act upon the claim submitted at any time before final payment under this contract.

Adjustment shall also be made in the delivery or performance dates and any other contractual term or condition affected by the delay or interruption. However, no adjustment shall be made under this clause for any delay or interruption to the extent that performance would have been delayed or interrupted by any other cause, including the fault or negligence of the Contractor, or for which an adjustment is provided or excluded under any other term or condition of this contract.

(b) A claim under this clause shall not be allowed (1) for any costs incurred more than 20 days before the Contractor shall have notified the Contracting Officer in writing of the act or failure to act involved, and (2) unless the claim, in an amount stated, is asserted in writing as soon as practicable after the termination of the delay or interruption, but not later than the day of final payment under the contract.

Section G - Contract Administration Data

(b) If the Contracting Officer designates a contracting officer's representative (COR), the Contractor will receive a copy of the written designation. It will specify the extent of the COR's authority to act on behalf of the contracting officer. The COR is not authorized to make any commitments or changes that will affect price, quality, quantity, delivery, or any other term or condition of the contract.

TASK ORDER ADMINISTRATION

Similar to the Task Order RFP and Award Process, the process for administering task orders will be established by the entity that awarded the task order. The administration of all task order awards will be in accordance with all applicable Federal and local regulations and policies. Offerors should be mindful that the administration of one task order to the next awarded under this contract may vary. Offerors are responsible for understanding the administrative requirements for each awarded task order and asking questions if clarifications of the administrative requirements are necessary.

PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

Performance standards will be established per task order. A resultant Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) will be utilized by the Government to monitor contractor performance. The QASP will be based on performance standards established per task order.

CPARS REQUIREMENTS

This contract requires reporting in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS). Any task order awarded under this contract that is valued at greater than $1,000,000.00 will also be subject to reporting in CPARS. The contractor is responsible for providing and maintaining a representative in CPARS who has the authority to review and accept performance reports on behalf of the contractor.

EXAMPLE QASP

The following is an example of a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) that may be used by the Government to conduct quality assurance. Please also see Federal Acquisition Regulation 37.604 “Quality Assurance Surveillance Plans” and 46.4 “Government Contract Quality Assurance”.

QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE PLAN

1. Overview

This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) sets forth the procedures and guidance that the Government, through its Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) or other designated official such as the Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative (COTR), will use in evaluating the technical performance of the Contractor in accordance with the terms and conditions of Task Order 0000 under Contract No. W912XX‐xx‐D‐xxxx. The QASP objective is to explain Government procedures to be used in the management of this 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 Task Order. The QASP will be used in conjunction with the quality control procedures outlined in the Project Management Plan (PMP) or Work Plan (WP) and the contractor’s Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP), if applicable, to ensure overall project quality.

This QASP describes the mechanism for documenting noteworthy accomplishments or discrepancies for work performed by the Contractor. Information generated from the Government surveillance activities will directly feed into performance discussions with the Contractor. The intent is to ensure that: 1) the Contractor performs in accordance with performance metrics set forth in the Task Order documents (such as Scope of Work or Performance Work Statement), 2) the Government receives the quality of services called for in the Task Order, and 3) the Government only pays for the acceptable level of services received.

The QASP details how and when the Government will monitor, evaluate, and document Contractor’s performance on the Task Order. The QASP is intended to accomplish the following:

• Define the roles and responsibilities of participating Government officials.

• Define the key milestones/deliverables that will be assessed.

• Define acceptable, superior, and unacceptable performance standards for key milestones/deliverables.

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

• Describe the surveillance documentation process and provide copies of the form that the…
