The plan must include an organizational chart identifying lines of authority, letters of appointments detailing specific duties, responsibilities and limitations, and positions within the contractor’s organization.

TP-1.15.1 The CQC will provide for the preparatory planning and inspection of all work activities to ensure conformance to specifications, preparatory inspection agreements, drawings, and referenced documents. The CQC will also be responsible for inspection and documentation of findings for contract work, inventory control, procurement activities, safety implementation and other areas of contract performance. The CQC will not be directly responsible for the direction of on-site corrective actions related to performance deficiencies.

TP-1.15.2 Government quality assurance personnel will assure that contractor quality control is complete, but the presence or absence of government quality assurance will not relieve the contractor of its responsibility for the proper execution of work in accordance with the contract.

TP-1.15.3 The contractor will propose a compliance form that will be approved by the COR for use for all compliance inspections. This recorded information will be provided to the superintendent, and a copy furnished to the COR, within 24 hours following the period of performance the report covers. The form should make provisions to address safety, equipment usage, weather, personnel, type of work being performed, performance results, QC testing and results, discussions with government personnel, directions and agreements, as a minimum.

TP-1.15.4 The text of compliance inspection reports will address acceptable, as well as deficient, performance in management, quality control and workmanship. The CQC is to evaluate performance in all respects and report to management, through daily reports, their findings and other observations concerning the above. The reports must also recommend corrective action to the superintendent, as well as document superintendent-directed corrective actions.

If, in the opinion of the COR, recurrent deficiencies indicate that the quality control system is inadequate, corrective action will be taken as directed by the COR.

TP-1.15.5 Contractor proposed changes to the quality control plan will be submitted to the COR prior to its implementation.

TP-1.16 Preventive Maintenance Plan (PMP): The Contractor will develop a PMP for mechanical equipment and operational systems at the various project facilities. The plan must designate the unit, machine or system to be inspected, frequency and date of planned inspections. Records of inspection findings and services performed will be maintained. A summary report of repairs will be provided to the COR at the end of each contract year.

TP-1.17 Job Order Accounting System: The contractor will establish a system to effectively prioritize and schedule the performance of tasks, whether initiated through the contractor’s own initiatives or through a COR-initiated work order. The system will incorporate a method by which the contractor provides feedback to the COR that the work order has been scheduled and/or services have been performed.

TP-1.17.1 The system will be capable of establishing a budgeted cost as well as capturing all actual costs associated with the completion of the above work tasks. Costs will be appropriately charged to the applicable technical provision as referenced in Section H, Cost Schedule Requirement. In addition, costs will be appropriately charged to the applicable business line and park or location and cost reports submitted with monthly invoice.

TP-1.17.2 Completion and cost data for each work order will be entered by the contractor in the project’s Facility and Equipment Maintenance system (FEM), a Maximo database. The contractor will enter all contractor-initiated and a portion of Corps-initiated work orders in FEM as directed.

TP-1.18 Schedules: The contractor will prepare and submit logical and accurate work schedules to the COR for maintenance, service and construction as described below. Revisions to schedules will be provided to the COR within 24 hours of that revision.

TP-1.19.1 The contractor may be required to provide similar O&M support to other Corps projects or activities in the event of emergency situations or the inability of the local O&M contractor to meet contractual obligations. Due to the unknown quantities under this TP, it should not be addressed in the contractor’s technical or cost proposal.

TP-1.20 Improvement or Modification: A facility improvement or modification will not be initiated without the express approval of the COR. An improvement or modification is defined as any change to the original design of a building or structure or installed systems.

TP-1.26 Definition of Services: As stated in TP-1.1, this contract is a hybrid firm fixed price contract with cost plus fixed fee elements. Section C is divided into fifteen (15) Technical Provisions (TP) with portions of TP-1 either firm fixed price or cost reimbursement, TPs 2-5 firm fixed price, and TPs 6-15 cost reimbursement. Firm fixed price work requirements are grouped into two (2) major categories: Level 1 Routine Maintenance (RM) and Level II Service Orders (SO). Level II work will be generated by the government as a service call.

TP-1.26.1 Level I - Routine Maintenance: Level I services are defined as all work specified within the fixed-price technical provisions of the contract.

TP-1.26.2 Level II - Service Orders: Level II services are defined as unanticipated incidences that occur through no fault of the government or contractor, including theft, breakdowns or failures, vandalism, accidents not caused by the contractor, and severe weather or related acts of God/nature. Level II services may include replacement of government furnished equipment or durables as stated in TPs 1.11 and 1.11.1. Level II services also include additional quantities or frequencies of tasks listed as level I services within the technical provisions that are needed due to unanticipated circumstances that occur through no fault of the government or contractor. Upon direction by the COR, the contractor will submit proposals for the additional service and will provide a detailed breakdown of all related costs. This includes, but is not limited to, burdened labor rates, materials & supplies, subcontractor fees, profit and overhead.

Labor rates and profit margins will not be marked up beyond what is proposed within the awarded contract when a level II service is requested. For firm fixed price elements, the contractor will not perform any work outside of level I services without the approval of the COR or the Contracting Officer (KO). Due to the unknown quantities under this TP, it should not be addressed in the contractor’s technical proposal; however, for estimating purposes only, bidders should include $100,000 per contract year in their cost proposal for level II services.

Individual service orders (ISO) related to level II services mentioned above are considered within the scope of this contract, and the contractor will be compensated using a separate CLIN (and corresponding CLINs if the option years are exercised). They are not part of the firm fixed price CLIN pricing.

Upon discovery of these defined incidences, the contractor will notify the COR immediately.

The COR will request a repair proposal from the contractor for each incident.

Upon COR approval the contractor will perform services required to accomplish repair and invoice separately against the specified level II CLIN (and corresponding CLINs if the option years are exercised).

In the event of a COR-determined emergency the contractor may receive verbal or written authorization to proceed with repair to protect government personnel or property, or the general public; however, the contractor must provide repair estimates to the COR as soon as practical.
