About this file
This is a solicitation for a Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC) to replace excitation equipment at up to eight hydropower generation plants along the Cumberland River. The Nashville District US Army Corps of Engineers seeks to award a firm-fixed price construction contract not to exceed $30 million with a minimum guarantee of $25,000. The scope of work involves designing, manufacturing, installing, testing and commissioning new static digital excitation systems to replace existing equipment at up to eight plants. The prototype project will replace excitation equipment at the Cordell Hull Power Plant in Carthage, Tennessee, with an estimated value between $1-5 million. The contract will have a base period of four years with three two-year options, allowing task orders to be placed over ten years. The solicitation is full and open with no set-asides, and proposals will be evaluated on past performance, technical merit, safety, small business participation, and price.

1.2 DEFINITIONS
1.2.1 As-Built Drawings
As-built drawings are developed and maintained by the Contractor and depict actual conditions, including deviations from the Contract Documents. These deviations and additions may result from coordination required by, but not limited to: contract modifications; official responses to Contractor submitted Requests for Information; direction from the Contracting Officer; designs which are the responsibility of the Contractor, and differing site conditions. Maintain the as-builts throughout construction as red-lined hard copies on site and red-lined PDF files . These files serve as the basis for the creation of the record drawings.
1.2.2 Record Drawings
The record drawings are the final compilation of actual conditions reflected in the as-built drawings.
1.3 SOURCE DRAWING FILES
Request the full set of electronic drawings, in the source format, for Record Drawing preparation, after award and at least 30 days prior to required use.
1.3.1 Terms and Conditions
Data contained on these electronic files must not be used for any purpose other than as a convenience in the preparation of construction drawings and data for the referenced project. Any other use or reuse shall be at the sole risk of the Contractor and without liability or legal exposure to the Government. The Contractor must make no claim and waives to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claim or cause of action of any nature against the Government, its agents or sub consultants that may arise out of or in connection with the use of these electronic files. The Contractor must, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify and
SECTION 01 78 00 Page 2 hold the Government harmless against all damages, liabilities or costs, including reasonable attorney's fees and defense costs, arising out of or resulting from the use of these electronic files.
These electronic CAD drawing files are not construction documents.
Differences may exist between the CAD files and the corresponding construction documents. The Government makes no representation regarding the accuracy or completeness of the electronic CAD files, nor does it make representation to the compatibility of these files with the Contractor hardware or software. In the event that a conflict arises between the signed and sealed construction documents prepared by the Government and the furnished Source drawing files, the signed and sealed construction documents govern. The Contractor is responsible for determining if any conflict exists. Use of these Source Drawing files does not relieve the Contractor of duty to fully comply with the contract documents, including and without limitation, the need to check, confirm and coordinate the work of all contractors for the project. If the Contractor uses, duplicates or modifies these electronic source drawing files for use in producing construction drawings and data related to this contract, remove all previous indicia of ownership (seals, logos, signatures, initials and dates).

1.7 WARRANTY MANAGEMENT
1.7.1 Warranty Management Plan
Develop a warranty management plan which contains information relevant to the clause Warranty of Construction in contract. At least 30 days before the planned pre-warranty conference, submit four sets of the warranty management plan. Include within the warranty management plan all required actions and documents to assure that the Government receives all warranties to which it is entitled. The plan must be in narrative form and contain sufficient detail to render it suitable for use by future maintenance and repair personnel, whether tradesmen, or of engineering background, not necessarily familiar with this contract. The term "status" as indicated below must include due date and whether item has been submitted or was accomplished. Warranty information made available during the construction phase must be submitted to the Contracting Officer for approval prior to each monthly pay estimate. Assemble approved information in a binder and turn over to the Government upon acceptance of the work. The construction warranty period will begin on the date of project acceptance and continue for the full product warranty period.
