Section C - Descriptions and Specifications

SECTION C

Engineering Services and Support

1 Introduction

The Humphreys Engineer Center Support Activity (HECSA) has a requirement from the Installation Support Division (ISD), Headquarters, USACE to provide technical services in support of complex engineering analyses, studies, and assessments regarding the processes and process improvements for a broad variety of technical policies, processes, systems (management, IT, etc.), tools, techniques, personnel, and performances related to missions, roles, and organizations that are part or related to the USACE and other Department of Defense (DoD) agencies.

The ISD is an organization within USACE whose mission is to facilitate more efficient base operations and maintenance for the Army's installations. ISD executes this mission through several programs that include:

1. Meeting military mission requirements supporting world-class sustainable installations.

2. Providing program management and oversight for the Army Sustainment, Restoration, and Moderation and

Facilities Engineering Program, and the USACE Installation Support Program.

3. Providing analyses of Army initiatives, concepts, and force structure for use by the Army staff, Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of the Army materiel acquisition communities, and validates facility requirements for the Army throughout the Army Force Management Process (Combat Readiness Support Team).

4. Providing technical support on acquisition and sales of energy, utility rate intervention and litigation, renewable energy sources, energy savings performance contracts and utilities metering.

5. Providing technical support for the Real Property Master Planning, providing leadership, planning assistance, policy development, and course instruction to USACE, ACSIM, IMCOM, Office of the Secretary of Defense and Army installations.

6. Serving as the defense sector lead for the DoD Critical Infrastructure Program (DCIP) determining and maintaining defense critical infrastructure asset data.

7. Supporting the MILCON process through execution of the Programming, Administration, and Execution (PAX) system used by Army Staff to provide information on the planning, programming, budgeting and reporting of MILCON to Army, the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) and Congress.

Interagency and International Services (IIS) is the USACE program providing technical assistance to non-DoD federal agencies, state and local governments, tribal nations, private U.S. firms, international organizations, and foreign governments. USACE though the IIS program provides engineering and construction services, environmental restoration and management services, research and development assistance, management of water and land related natural resources, relief and recovery work, and other management and technical services.

The objective of this contract is to support the ISD mission, and IIS program. The contracts will be utilized by USACE, DoD, Defense related customers (e.g. Homeland Security, National Security Agency) and Agencies which have a memorandum of understanding type agreement with the Department of the Army or USACE.

1.1 Scope

Work will be under the scope of management/industrial engineering analyses, studies, and recommendations, and other services incidental in the areas of below:

(1) engineering and construction management analyses, re- engineering appraisals, and advice (i.e., Management and Oversight support services and activities to provide strategic and operational recommendations to keep projects on schedule and on budget but within resources constraints, provide an Enterprise wide decision approach for application rationalization);

(2) real property management and housing management engineering analyses (i.e, requirements for strategic planning support services to assist the Office of Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management

(OACSIM) in the development of a strategic plan and implementation strategy to optimize organization design as a result of several HQDA reductions);

(3) engineering and construction personnel and manpower analyses (i.e., analyses to support for the Functional Chief’s Representative (FCR) directive to develop a formal Certificate Training Program and a Personnel Certification Program and earn accreditation from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI, SSP Command, similar to other Navy/DoD organizations are struggling with an aging workforce (demographic issues) and the desire to understand and quantify how changing future SSBN requirements will impact the type and number of resources that will be required);

(4) engineering analyses related to privatization feasibility and optimization

(5) specialized engineering and construction-related information systems appraisals and requirement (i.e., providing project management and process oversight support for the PC Lifecycle Management (PCLCM) program including the continued development of standardized processes by which ACE-IT PCLCM data is collected, documented, measured, and reported);

(6) facilities policy, management, and administration (The grounds facilities management plan is founded on government and industry best practices that include the use of current technology and application of standards);

(7) operation research and modeling (i.e., This commissions an objective third party BCA of the current multi-domain USACE AD and disjointed Domain Name Space (DNS) structure to determine whether consolidation into a single domain is cost-effective and delivers value to USACE);

(8) engineering and construction management-related business process re-engineering (i.e., The objective is to further the advancement of Customer and Border Protection (CBP’s) facilities management and engineering programs through the development of technical resources and the establishment of facilities engineering practices and procedures);

(9) environmental management and remediation (i.e., Developing revised Medical Cost Avoidance Model (MCAM) cost factors and associated algorithms based on data from the Military Health System (MHS) Management Analysis Reporting Tool (MART) and associated databases. All data shall be provided by the U.S Army Public Health Center (USAPHC);

(10) water resource management (i.e., The project focuses on water and how it is embedded throughout the Army’s current supply chain to provide a holistic view of the Army’s water use across operations, installations, the industrial base, training, and Civil Works; and

(11) integrated engineering studies (i.e., Work under this task order will provide information assist the McClellan—Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System (MKARNS) Board of Governance (BoG) in identifying acquisition strategies and making long-range plans to perform heavy maintenance and repair to ensure long-term reliability.)

Other examples of studies performed are Strategic Sourcing and related activities studies, Business Process Review studies, studies of USACE Technical Competencies, Workforce Protection, Federal Real Property Asset Management, BRAC Implementation Oversight, Assessing DoD Family Housing, and Analysis of DoD Fitness Center.

The scope does not include architect-engineering-type augmentation of our design and construction workforce to accomplish design, construction or oversight of contactors accomplishing these tasks for USACE.

4 Special Requirements This section describes the special requirements for this effort. The following sub-sections provide details of various considerations on this effort.

4.1 Security

4.1.1 Access to Classified Information: Each Task Order issued under this contract will require different levels of access to classified information. Based on past historical data, approximately 15% of the task orders required access up to Top Secret information while 85% required no access. The contractor must be prepared to provide employees cleared up to the Top Secret level when required by a task order. Classified work may include the consideration of classified information in analytical work, but generally speaking the access requirement is only necessary for access to areas where personnel will not be permitted without a clearance at the appropriate level.

4.1.2 Anti-Terrorism Level I Training: All contractor employees, to include subcontractor employees, requiring access to Army installations, facilities, controlled access areas, or require network access, shall complete AT Level I awareness training within 30 calendar days after contract start date or effective date of incorporation of this requirement into the contract, whichever is applicable.
