Scope of Work

SECTION C-1

GENERAL

C-1.1 PROJECT INFORMATION The Nashville District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) anticipates a requirement for a firm-fixed-price requirements contract with a base and four (4) option years for operation and maintenance services at Center Hill Lake.

Center Hill Lake is located on the Caney Fork River, about 60 miles east of Nashville, Tennessee and 20 miles west of Cookeville, Tennessee. The areas of work are located in DeKalb, Putnam, White and Warren Counties of Tennessee. Principle cities in the area are Smithville, Cookeville and Sparta, Tennessee.

C-1.2 SCOPE OF WORK The Contractor shall furnish all necessary management, supervision, inspection, personnel, materials, supplies, parts, tools, equipment, transportation, vehicles, and fuel except as otherwise provided for herein, required to perform the operation and maintenance services within the area of responsibility, of the Center Hill Lake Water Resources Development Project. Hereafter referred to as Center Hill, as specified and in strict accordance with all Terms, Conditions, General, Specific and Technical Provisions, Drawings, Attachments, Exhibits, Tables, etc., contained herein or incorporated by reference.

Incorporation by reference shall include any and all mandatory provisions required by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), whether referenced or not referenced, and current at time of award.

Estimated quantities and/or the work to be performed are approximate and are provided as information only to assist in preparation of proposals. They are not guaranteed and actual quantities may be more or less than shown.

Variation in these estimated quantities shall not be justification for modification of the contract or request for additional payment. It is the contractor's responsibility to verify quantities by an on-site review. Increased or decreased visitation shall not be a justification for a price increase.

The services and limited construction required in this contract are in addition to the routine operation and maintenance performed by Government personnel, however, the Government reserves the right to perform any or all of the services described herein with its own personnel or volunteers. The Contractor’s work and responsibility shall include, but shall not be limited to, planning, programming, administration, supervision, management and inspection, necessary to assure that all services are conducted in accordance with the contract and all applicable laws, regulations, codes, or directives. The Contractor shall ensure that all work meets or exceeds critical reliability rates or tolerances specified or included in referenced documents.

Minor repairs, renovation, lake fluctuation, or lack of funds may cause the temporary or permanent closing of some portions or all of some areas or may cause reduced frequency of services ordered. Such events will not be a basis for a claim under this contract. The contractor's work schedule shall be sufficiently flexible to meet these changing demands.

C-1.3 TASK ORDERS All work under this contract will be ordered by issuance of individual Task Orders (DD Form 1155, see Exhibit H). No work shall be performed under this contract before a Task Order has been issued by the Contracting Officer (KO). Only the KO by issuance of a modification, may make any change to a Task Order.

The Task Order will list those items from the bid schedule that are to be performed or used to perform the work.

Updated versions of the plan will be submitted for approval by the COR as any changes occur thereafter. The program shall include, but not be limited to the following:

1. An inspection system that covers all of the services ordered under each section of the contract. This shall include inspection of work performed on weekends such as cleaning services, Section 5 task orders, and any work performed by subcontractors.

C-1.18 QUALITY ASSURANCE The Government will monitor the Contractor's performance in each functional area under this contract. The Government reserves the right to use whatever surveillance procedures are deemed appropriate.

If the Contractor fails to perform according to the performance standards, a Notification of Contract Deficiency or Contract Deficiency Report (CDR), will be issued by the COR. The Contractor shall explain, in writing, why performance was not satisfactory and how recurrence of the problem will be prevented in the future.

The Government will monitor the Contractor's services, as described in Exhibit A. The Government reserves the right to alter or change the type of inspection plan at its discretion at any time, and to make deductions accordingly.

Should the Contractor fail to satisfactorily perform any routine service (i.e. litter pickup, trash removal, restroom cleaning, etc.) that is required on a daily basis or at a specific time, that service will be rejected. If the nature and the schedule of this type of work do not afford an opportunity to re-perform the service, a deduction for the work not performed will be made in accordance with the current inspection method in use.

Defects and deficiencies in Contractor performance, and re-performance of same, will be in accordance with a payment analysis addressed in the Government's surveillance plan (QASP). However, the Government reserves the right to use Contract Clauses for this purpose in lieu of payment analysis. Deductions will be based on the Contractor’s bid schedule, or the Government cost to do the work, or the Government cost to have another contractor perform the work, or as outlined in the payments clause of the contract.

The Contractor's performance will be evaluated monthly and at the end of the performance period as set forth in the contract schedule.
