C-1.2 SCOPE OF WORK. The Contractor shall furnish all necessary management, personnel, materials, supplies, tools, equipment, fuel, and vehicles, except as otherwise provided herein, required to perform sealing, crack sealing, and striping activities at Barren River, Green River, Nolin River, and Rough River Lake Projects operations areas and Recreation areas, as specified and in strict accordance with all Terms, Conditions, General, Specific and Technical Provisions, Attachments, Exhibits, etc., contained herein or incorporated by reference. The Contractor’s work and responsibility shall include all planning, programming, administration, management, supervision, communications and inspection necessary to assure that all services are conducted in accordance with the contract requirements and all applicable Federal, State and local laws and regulations. The Contractor is required to attend a pre-work meeting to be scheduled by the Technical Point of Contact (TPOC).

The Contractor also acknowledges the Government’s right to perform any or all of the services described herein.

It is emphasized that the work described in this contract is a critical part of the Corps mission. The work described will be performed in public recreation and project operational areas. The Corps is committed to "Customer Care" and providing quality professional service. Each bidding Contractor is urged to visit the job sites to assess quantities, critical dimensions, work locations, and conditions. A Request for Quote (RFQ) will be issued for each contemplated Task Order. The RFQ will typically be structured in one of two ways:

1. By service type, quantity, and location. In this instance, the quantities listed in the RFQ and unit prices listed in the base contract are set values and the TPOC will direct the contractor where to specifically perform the work (i.e. which parking lots and/or roadways to seal, crack fill, and/or stripe). This is how the seed project is started.

2. By service type and specific location. In this instance the TPOC and Contractor must agree on the quantities for each service and specific location in order to apply the set unit prices per the base contract and agree on a task order price.

C-1.3 TASK ORDERS. All work under this contract will be ordered by issuance of individual Task Orders (DD Form 1155). No work shall be performed under this contract before an individual 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 quote schedule that are to be performed or used to perform the work.

C-1.4. NEGOTIATION. NOT APPLICABLE.

C-1.5 WORKING HOURS.

Work that interferes with other ongoing functions at the project shall be scheduled around normal working hours, as specified by the TPOC.

c. Inclement Weather Work. The Contractor shall maintain the schedule of services regardless of inclement weather. Exceptions may be approved by the TPOC when severe conditions make it impractical or dangerous to perform the work.

d. Emergency and/or After Hours Work. Work may be required on holiday periods during heavy visitation, emergencies, or for other reasons as determined by the TPOC. Additional personnel may be required to handle the additional work load during holiday periods because of heavy visitation. The TPOC will notify the Contractor of actual work requirements.

e. Special Note. At certain portions of the areas, there are certain precautions that will need to be taken, as these areas cannot be completely closed while work is progressing. The areas will need to be partially barricaded/flagged by the contractor, the night before the sealing or painting application to prevent vehicles from parking in a portion of the lot the next calendar day. In addition, all services will need to be done at the first part of the week, allowing adequate dry time for weekend vehicle use (Fridays at 2:00 PM Eastern Time, 1:00 PM Central Time).
