TP-1.23.3 In the event that emergency repair parts are required, and it is not possible to obtain advance service approval from the COR, the contractor is authorized, and will be required to, procure those parts necessary for repair in order to protect personnel and/or property. The COR should be informed of such emergency purchases as soon as possible following the purchase.

TP-1.23.4 The contractor will maintain daily written records of all maintenance and repair of government vehicles and equipment. These records will include labor (including work performed by subcontractors or other vendors), supplies, materials and parts costs for each separately scheduled work task. Records will be kept on forms provided by the government.

TP-1.24 Interruptions to Systems: All work that would necessitate an interruption to the use of project facilities or systems or otherwise disrupt building occupants and/or the visiting public will be fully coordinated with, and advance approval obtained from, the COR prior to commencement of work.

TP-1.25 Determination of Work to be Performed: It is the intent of this contract that the determination of all work required to maintain, clean or repair all facilities, buildings, structures, vehicles, navigational aids, landscaping, signs, and all other project infrastructure in a safe and efficient operating condition, is the responsibility of the contractor. However, the COR may direct the contractor to perform necessary facility repairs or maintenance in instances where such services have failed to be provided. New work requests, as noted throughout the specifications and as directed by the COR, will be requested by the issuance of work orders authorized by the COR only. These work orders will be issued to the contractor through FEM.

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.

TP-1.27 Non-Government-Owned Vehicles, Equipment, Tools and Fuel:

TP-1.27.1 All fuel, to include fuel used in vehicles, equipment, and for brush pile burning, will be charged under TP-1 as a cost reimbursable expense. The maintenance facility is equipped with fuel tanks and pumps for both gasoline and diesel, one each. Fuel may be purchased in bulk and stored in the tanks provided.

TP-1.27.2 Vehicles used in the execution of duties under this contract will be charged under TP-1 as a fixed price expense. The contractor will ensure an appropriate number and type of vehicles are available to complete the tasks under this contract. Vehicles will be maintained according to manufacturers’ recommendations and federal and state regulations. Rental vehicles fall under this TP as a firm fixed price expense.

TP-1.27.3 Equipment and tools not owned by the government, to include repairs and replacements, will be charged to TP-1 as a firm fixed price expense.
