About this file

This is a Performance Work Statement (PWS) for the Hartwell Project Operations and Maintenance Contract, a firm fixed-price contract for maintaining and servicing facilities, infrastructure, and natural resources managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Hartwell Lake across Georgia and South Carolina. The contract covers 18 technical provisions including cleaning services, mowing, preventive maintenance, building repairs, equipment maintenance, pest control, boundary line clearing, navigation aids management, and emergency spill response support. The contract is structured with Level I (routine) and Level II (non-routine) services, with specific quantities and pricing for each task, and spans a 5-year period with potential option years.

Key service areas include maintaining campgrounds, day-use parks, boating access areas, dams, power plant, pumping station, and various project resources. The contract requires comprehensive maintenance such as cleaning sanitary facilities, mowing 100+ acres, repairing structures and equipment, managing wildlife habitats, controlling vegetation, responding to emergencies, and performing industrial cleaning. Performance is monitored through random inspections, customer complaint tracking, and documented deficiency assessments, with consequences for underperformance ranging from service re-performance to fee reductions and negative performance evaluations. The contract emphasizes maintaining facilities in safe, functional, and aesthetically pleasing conditions while supporting the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' operational requirements.
