HARTWELL LAKE PROJECT

PERFORMANCE OF WORK STATEMENTS

TP-1, GENERAL INFORMATION

TP-1.0 PURPOSE: The purpose of this contract is to provide the maintenance, repair, minor construction, and operation of the Hartwell Project to include the Project Manager’s Office, campgrounds, day-use parks, boating access areas, dams, Power Plant, Clemson Pumping Station, and other project resources as specified in the following technical provisions.

TP-1.1 Performance of Work: This contract is a hybrid firm fixed price contract with cost plus fixed fee elements. Section C is divided into seventeen (17) Technical Provisions (TP’s); TPs 1-5 are firm fixed price and TPs 6-17 are cost reimbursement. All labor will be charged to TP-2, unless it is subcontracted and/or associated with after-hours call-out work under TPs 6-17, in which case it will be charged to the applicable technical provision.

TP-1.1.1 The contractor shall furnish all necessary management, personnel, materials, supplies, parts, tools, equipment, storage and working facilities, office space, utilities, and vehicles to perform these services except as otherwise provided for herein. All contractor-furnished items are required to be as specified and in strict accordance with all terms, conditions, general, specific and technical provisions, drawings, attachments, appendices, etc., contained herein, incorporated by reference or approved by the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR).

The contractors' work and responsibility includes all planning, programming, administration, and management necessary to assure that all services and minor construction are conducted in accordance with the contract and all applicable laws, regulations, codes, or directives. Contractor shall insure all work meets or exceeds critical reliability rates or tolerances specified or included in referenced documents and applicable publications in TP-1.3. The contractor shall perform all related contractor administrative services necessary to perform the work such as supply, procurement, quality control, contractor financial control, and maintenance of accurate and complete records, files and data bases.

Areas of work to be performed, facility listings and various other information applicable to the contractor are referenced throughout the TPs as appendices and are located in Section J - List of Attachments.

TP-1.1.2 Additional Cost Information: All non-government owned vehicles/equipment (including lawn mowers, blowers, weed eaters, etc.) and materials required to service, maintain and repair such, e.g. oil, lubricants, filters, batteries, belts, tires, brake pads, alternators, fuel lines, etc. to complete the tasks under this contract will be charged to TP-1 as a firm fixed price cost. Tools are addressed under TP-1.10.4. Materials, supplies and services required to fulfill TPs 3, 4 and 5 Level I work will be charged to the appropriate TP as a fixed price cost. Other Direct Costs such as insurance, postage, drug testing, recruiting, vehicle tax/tags, etc.

will be charged to TP-1 as a firm fixed cost. Reference TP-1.13 for additional office related items to be charged to TP-1 as a firm fixed cost. All uniform costs and personal protective equipment will be charged as a firm fixed cost to TP-2.

All materials, supplies and services associated with TPs 6-17 will be charged to the appropriate TP as cost reimbursement. All fuel will be charged to TP-8 as cost reimbursement.

TP-1.2 Definition of Services: Firm fixed price work requirements are grouped into two (2) categories;

Level I, Standard Services, and Level II, Service Orders. Level I services are defined as the effort necessary to meet the standard requirement of each fixed price technical provision. Level II work is additional quantities or frequencies of tasks associated with fixed price technical provisions and will be generated by the government as a service order. After hours work associated with cost reimbursement TPs 6-17 will be considered call-outs and charged to the applicable technical provision.

TP-1.2.1 Level II - Service Orders (TPs 1-5): 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. Due to the unknown quantities of Level II work, bidders should include $25,000 per contract year in their cost proposal for Level II services for estimating purposes only.

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 Contract Line Item

Number (CLIN) (and corresponding CLINs if the option years are exercised). They are not part of the Level I firm fixed price CLIN pricing.

Level II needs will be coordinated through the COR.

The COR will request a cost estimate from the contractor for each incident.

Upon COR approval, the contractor will perform services requested 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 a level II service; however, the contractor must provide estimates to the COR as soon as practical.

TP-1.2.2 Call-outs (TPs 6-17): Upon direction by the COR, the contractor will respond to emergency after hour services associated with TPs 6-17. All costs associated with call-outs (labor and materials) will be charged to the applicable technical provision.

TP-1.3 Applicable Documents and References: The contractor shall perform technical work in accordance with the following individual standards and codes, manuals, and other documents as applicable.

a. National Electrical Code

b. National Fire Protection Association

c. American National Standards Institute

d. OSHA Safety Standards

Such deficiencies, if repetitive, may be counted against the contractor as evidence of unsatisfactory performance.

TP-1.21.1 Schedules: Within the first 30 days of each contract year, the contractor shall submit an annual work schedule to the COR.

TP-1.22 Vandalism Repair Cost Reporting: The contractor shall report labor and material costs for vandalism repair separately from other reports. When the government submits a work order to the contractor for vandalism repair, a form for cost reporting will be attached to the work order.
