CONTRACTING NO.: TBD

PART1: GENERAL____________________________________________________

1.1 LOCATION

The Don Clausen Fish Hatchery is located in northern Sonoma County approximately 15 miles northwest of Healdsburg, California. The hatchery, which is used to rear listed fish species (coho salmon and steelhead trout), is part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers San Francisco District’s Warm Springs Dam/ Lake Sonoma Project. As indicated on the attached plans, the existing emergency generator facility is located near the entrance road to the hatchery. The new emergency power facility would be located in close proximity.

1.2 DESCRIPTION OF WORK

Proposed work consists of furnishing all labor, materials, and equipment to install and/or construct a new emergency power facility. Removal, as well as off-site disposal of the existing 600- kilowatt system is also included. The Contractor shall be responsible for determining the location of all surrounding underground utility lines, and if necessary, relocating utilities to accommodate new construction. Utilities that could require relocation include, but are not limited to, underground water, electrical, and irrigation lines. As-builts of the current facility will be made available to the Contractor by the Facility Engineer.

While the Contractor shall remove and properly dispose of the existing generator and its components, the existing generator shall remain online up until the new generator is ready to be put into service. This is due to the sensitive nature of the fish hatchery, which requires that emergency power be available at all times. Additionally, the main distribution panel for the hatchery facility and controller for pumps to the pollution control pond are not to be removed, i.e. will remain functional.

The existing structure housing the old generator and appurtenances consists of wood-framed stucco finished walls, along with wood-slatted chain link fencing. The roof is wood framed with metal roofing. The structure rests on a concrete slab foundation. Upon removal of the existing generator, the contractor shall extend existing stucco walls to encapsulate the building, with the intent to better weatherproof the structure and keep critters out. A new service door shall also be included. See design drawings for details.

The Contractor shall install all new utility lines and provide the proper connections to the new emergency power facility from the main power source. The Contractor shall also test the new facility for functionality, provide the government with operations and maintenance training, and submit any necessary manuals.

As indicated by design drawings, the new power facility shall feature:

1) Two new diesel powered engine-generators; each 350 kilowatts, 437 kilovolt-amps, 60 hertz, 3- Phase, 480/277 volt, and each equipped with a sub-base 300 gallon diesel tank.

2) All switch gear for emergency transfer of power.

3) New concrete masonry unit (CMU) block type building to house the generators and components.

1.3 GENERAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

The Contractor shall take no direction from any government employee or any other person than the Contracting Officer (CO) that changes the terms and conditions of this contract action, the scope, or any change that impacts the price or schedule. Changes authorized by the Contracting Officer will be in the form of a written official signed modification to the contract action received by the Contractor before the Contractor shall act upon the changes. Contracting Officer Representatives (CORs) are limited to the authorities stated in the COR appointment letters. The government will provide no materials or supplies. The Contractor is responsible for all costs related to performing this contract and its successful completion. All work, materials, and equipment will be subject to the control and approval of the Contacting Officer's Representative.

1.4 COMMENCEMENT, PROCECUTION, AND COMPLETION OF WORK

The Contractor shall be required to commence work under this contract within 7 working days following official notice to proceed and complete all work within 120 calendar days after receipt of notice to proceed. The time stated shall include final cleanup of premises.

PART 3: QUALITY CONTROL__________________________________________

3.1 GENERAL

The Contractor is responsible for quality control and shall establish and maintain an effective quality control system. The quality control system shall consist of plans, procedures, and organization necessary to produce an end product, which complies with the contract requirements. The system shall cover all construction operations, both onsite and offsite, and shall be keyed to the proposed construction sequence. The project superintendent will be held responsible for the quality of work on the job and is subject to removal by the Contracting Officer for non-compliance with quality requirements specified in the contract. The project superintendent in this context shall mean the individual with the responsibility for the overall management of the project including quality and production.

3.2 QUALITY CONTROL PLAN

3.2.1 General. The QC Plan shall include, as a minimum, the following to cover all construction operations, both onsite and offsite, including work by subcontractors, fabricators, suppliers, and purchasing agents:

a. A description of the quality control organization, including a chart showing lines of authority and acknowledgment that the QC staff shall implement the three phase control system for all aspects of the work specified.

b. Procedures for scheduling, reviewing, certifying, and managing submittals, including those of subcontractors, offsite fabricators, suppliers, and purchasing agents.

These procedures shall be in accordance with Section 5 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES.

c. Control, verification, and acceptance testing procedures for each specific test to include the test name, specification paragraph requiring test, feature of work to be tested, test frequency, and person responsible for each test.

d. Procedures for tracking preparatory, initial, and follow-up control phases and control, verification, and acceptance tests including documentation.

e. Procedures for tracking construction deficiencies from identification through acceptable corrective action. These procedures will establish verification that identified deficiencies have been corrected.

f. Reporting procedures, including proposed reporting formats.

g. A list of the definable features of work; a definable feature of work is a task which is separate and distinct from other tasks and has separate control requirements.

Different trades or disciplines could identify it, or it could be work by the same trade in a different environment. Although each section of the specifications may generally be considered as a definable feature of work, there is frequently more than one definable feature under a particular section. This list will be agreed upon during the coordination meeting.

3.2.2 Acceptance of Plan. Acceptance of the Contractor's plan is required prior to the start of construction. Acceptance is conditional and will be predicated on satisfactory performance during the construction. The Government reserves the right to require the Contractor to make changes in his QC Plan and operations including removal of personnel, as necessary, to obtain the quality specified.

3.2.3 Notification of Changes. After acceptance of the QC Plan, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing of any proposed change. Proposed changes are subject to acceptance by the Contracting Officer.

3.2.4 Coordination Meetings. After the Pre-construction Conference, before start of construction, and prior to acceptance by the Government of the QC Plan, the Contractor shall meet with the Contracting Officer or Authorized Representative and discuss the Contractor's quality control system. The QC Plan shall be submitted for review a minimum of seven calendar days prior to the Coordination Meeting. During the meeting, a mutual understanding of the system details shall be developed, including the forms for recording the QC operations, control activities, testing, administration of the system for both onsite and offsite work, and the interrelationship of Contractor's Management and control with the Government's Quality Assurance. Minutes of the meeting shall be prepared by the Government and signed by both the Contractor and the Contracting Officer. The minutes shall become a part of the contract file.

There may be occasions when either party to reconfirm mutual understandings and/or address deficiencies in the QC system will call subsequent conferences or procedures which may require corrective action by the Contractor.

3.3 SUBMITTALS

Submittals shall be made as specified in Part 5 Submittal Procedures. The QC organization shall be responsible for certifying that all submittals are in compliance with the contract requirements.

3.4 CONTROL

Contractor Quality Control is the means by which the Contractor ensures that the construction, to include that of subcontractors and suppliers, complies with the requirements of the contract. The QC System Manager for each, definable feature of work shall conduct at least three phases of control as follows:

3.4.1 Preparatory Phase. This phase shall be performed prior to beginning work on each definable feature of work, after all required plans/documents/materials are approved/accepted, and after copies are at the work site. This phase shall include:

a. A review of each paragraph of applicable specifications.

b. A review of the contract drawings.

c. A check to assure that all materials and/or equipment have been tested, submitted, and approved.

d. Review of provisions that have been made to provide required control inspection and testing.

e. Examination of the work area to assure that all required preliminary work has been completed and is in compliance with the contract.

f. A physical examination of required materials, equipment, and sample work to assure that they are on hand, conform to approved shop drawings or submitted data, and are properly stored.

h. Discussion of procedures for controlling quality of the work including repetitive deficiencies. Document construction tolerances and workmanship standards for that feature of work.

i. A check to ensure that the portion of the plan for the work to be performed has been accepted by the Contracting Officer.

j. Discussion of the initial control phase.

3.4.2 Initial Phase. This phase shall be accomplished at the beginning of a definable feature of work. The following shall be accomplished:

a. A check of work to ensure that it is in full compliance with contract requirements. Review minutes of the preparatory meeting.

b. Verify adequacy of controls to ensure full contract compliance. Verify required control inspection and testing.

c. Establish level of workmanship and verify that it meets minimum acceptable workmanship standards. Compare with required sample panels as appropriate.

d. Resolve all differences.

e. Check safety to include compliance with and upgrading of the safety plan and activity hazard analysis. Review the activity analysis with each worker.

f. The initial phase should be repeated for each new crew to work onsite, or any time acceptable specified quality standards are not being met.

3.4.3 Follow-up Phase. Daily checks shall be performed to assure control activities, including control testing, are providing continued compliance with contract requirements, until completion of the particular feature of work. The checks shall be made a matter of record in the QC documentation. Final follow-up checks shall be conducted and all deficiencies corrected prior to the start of additional features of work, which may be affected by the deficient work. The Contractor shall not build upon or conceal nonconforming work.

3.5 TESTS

3.5.1 Testing Procedure. The Contractor shall perform specified or required tests to verify that control measures are adequate to provide a product, which conforms to contract requirements. Upon request, the Contractor shall furnish to the Government duplicate samples of test specimens for possible testing by the Government. Testing includes operation and/or acceptance tests when specified. The Contractor shall perform the following activities and record and provide the following data:

1) Verify that testing procedures comply with contract requirements.

2) Verify that facilities and testing equipment are available and comply with testing standards.

2) Check test instrument calibration data against certified standards.

3) Verify that recording forms and test identification control number system, including all of the test documentation requirements, have been prepared.

4) Results of all tests taken, both passing and failing tests, will be recorded on the CQC report for the date taken. Specification paragraph reference, location where tests were taken, and the sequential control number identifying the test will be given. If approved by the Contracting Officer, actual test reports may be submitted later with a reference to the test number and date taken. An information copy of tests performed by an offsite or commercial test facility will be provided directly to the Contracting Officer.

Failure to submit timely test reports as stated may result in nonpayment for related work performed and disapproval of the test facility for this contract.

5) The Contractor shall provide a weekly summary of all tests taken and their results.

3.6 COMPLETION OF INSPECTION

3.6.1 Punch-Out Inspection. Near the completion of all work or any increment thereof the QC System Manager shall conduct an inspection of the work and develop a "punch list" of items which do not conform to the approved drawings and specifications. Such a list of deficiencies shall be included in the QC documentation, and shall include the estimated date by which the deficiencies will be corrected. The QC System Manager or staff shall make a second inspection to ascertain that all deficiencies have been corrected. Once this is accomplished, the Contractor shall notify the Government that the facility is ready for the Government "Pre-Final" inspection.

3.6.2 Pre-Final Inspection. The Government will perform this inspection to verify that the work is complete and ready for use. A Government "Pre-Final Punch List" may be developed as a result of this inspection. The Contractor's QC System Manager shall ensure that all items on this list have been connected and so notify the Government so that a "Final" inspection with the customer can be scheduled. Any items noted on the "Pre-Final" inspection shall be corrected in a timely manner. These inspections and any deficiency corrections required by this paragraph will be accomplished within the time slated for completion of the entire work or any particular increment thereof if the project is divided into increments by separate completion dates.

3.6.3 Final Acceptance Inspection. The Contractor's Quality Control Inspection personnel, his superintendent or other primary management person and the contracting Officer's representative will be in attendance at this inspection as well as additional Government personnel including, but not limited to, those from the Project Office. The Contracting Officer based upon results of the Pre-Final inspection will formally schedule the final acceptance inspection. Notice will be given to the Contracting Officer at least 5 days prior to the final acceptance inspection and must include the Contractor's assurance that all specific items previously identified to the Contractor as being unacceptable, along with all remaining work performed under the contract, will be complete and acceptable by the date scheduled for the final acceptance inspection. Failure of the Contractor to have all contract work acceptably complete for this inspection will be cause for the Contracting Officer to bill the Contractor for the Government's additional inspection cost.

3.6.4 Documentation. The Contractor shall maintain current records providing factual evidence that required quality control activities and/or tests have been performed. These records shall include the work of subcontractors and suppliers and shall be on an acceptable form that includes, as a minimum, the following information:
