Performance Work Statement (PWS) Task Force Safety Assessments of Fire and Electricity / Unified Facilities Criteria

Assessment (TF SAFE/UFC) U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) Area of Responsibility (AOR)

1.0 OVERVIEW:

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Middle East District, is seeking to award an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC) to provide technical services including, but not limited to inspections, assessments, repairs, testing, reports, and training for facilities and operations-related projects. Target services include:

• Inspecting and testing of on-going electrical distribution issues for low voltage electrical power systems within the CENTCOM Area of Responsibility (AOR) and repairing electrical LIFE / HEALTH / SAFETY (LHS) hazards. Low Voltage refers to the definition of “Low Voltage System” in UFC 3-520-01 appendix D-2: Definition of Terms and generally means any electrically system less than 1000 volts alternating current (VAC) root mean square (RMS).

• Maintaining adequate spare parts and consumables to perform the tasks without any delay.

• Providing teams to conduct facility evaluations to determine the safety and habitability of facilities in the CENTCOM AOR and provide feedback to installation leadership with the aim of reducing LHS hazards.

• Providing the necessary management, supervision, labor, tools, equipment and administrative materials for all services provided, to include safety equipment.

The minimum guarantee amount of this contract is $10,000.00. Therefore, the Government hereby obligates itself to obtain no less than $10,000.00 in services during the base period of this contract. The minimum guarantee will be paid out if no task orders of this amount or more are awarded after the period of the entire contract if any options are exercised. All services will be performed at existing and future U.S. military and/or coalition occupied facilities within the CENTCOM AOR. The scope of each individual effort and delivery location will be identified in the PWS for each task order supported by this IDIQ. The Contractor shall have the capability to perform at any location within the CENTCOM AOR, and it is expected that work will be required to be performed at several different locations at the same time. The Contractor shall have an appropriately sized work force or access to sources of labor which can be utilized to scale the level of effort of work performed under this contract.

2.0 Placement of Task Orders:

All work executed under this SATOC will occur under the authority of negotiated, primarily firm fixed price (FFP) task orders. The number, size, and timing of task orders issued under this SATOC will be determined by the Government. When the Government determines that a new task order is to be issued under this SATOC, a request for proposal (RFP) accompanied by a performance work statement (PWS) specific to the contemplated task order will be issued to the SATOC Contractor. Unless directed otherwise by the Contracting Officer (KO), the SATOC Contractor will then provide a technical and price proposal for that task order. The Government will then review the Contractor’s proposal for technical compliance with both the task order and SATOC PWS and review the Contractor’s price proposal for fairness and reasonableness. The Government may then elect to enter into negotiations with the SATOC Contractor. Once the Government finds the Contractor’s proposal acceptable, assuming the requirement remains valid, they will award the task order and work will commence at the Contracting Officer’s direction.
