1. DESCRIPTION OF AGREEMENT.

The Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), Cold Regions Research and Engineering Lab (CRREL) requires commercial sources for the procurement of corrective and preventative maintenance, troubleshooting, diagnostics, and repair services for its model 924H Caterpillar Loader (serial # LKW00192) located at their facilities in Hanover, NH. CRREL intends to establish Master Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) in order to facilitate the procurement of these supplies and services.

A BPA is a simplified method of filling anticipated repetitive needs for supplies or services by establishing "charge accounts" with qualified sources of supply. Pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.303, Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs), the Contractor agrees to the identified terms and conditions for a BPA to provide the required Office Furniture exclusively with the ERDC.

If and when requested, the vendor shall provide supplies and or services in accordance with the specific requirements for the individual BPA Order which may include, but are not limited to, the following broadly encompassing categories:

Preventative maintenance as described in the owner’s manual.

Maintenance kits.

Corrective maintenance for failing or failed components Troubleshooting of undetermined degradation of performance Replacement and installation of components as they wear out (e.g., wiper blades, tires, belts, hoses, lights, etc.)

Minor modifications to the 924H (e.g., a lifting hook to be mounted to the bucket or forks)

2. EXTENT OF OBLIGATION.

The Master Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) does not obligate any funds. The Government shall be obligated only to the extent of authorized purchases actually made via a properly executed BPA Call/Order.

3. PURCHASE LIMITATION.

The Government estimates, but does not guarantee, that the total shared capacity of purchases through this agreement will be $239,171 over a 5-year period. Individual purchases shall not exceed the call limit of $200,000.00. There are no guaranteed minimum or maximum order limits established and no guaranteed dollar amount of expenditures with the vendor.

The Master BPAs will expire in five (5) years from date of award or total purchase reaching the BPA limit, whichever occurs first.

Performances of services and delivery of supplies shall be FOB Destination: ERDC-CRREL, 72 Lyme Road, Hanover, NH. Alternatively, for any service requiring a “service garage to complete”, it is acceptable to complete those services at the site of the vendor.

Actual purchases will be made via properly executed BPA Call/Orders. These Calls/Orders shall be initiated at the time the supplies are needed by an authorized representative of the Contracting Office.

4. TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

a) The Government shall be obligated only to the extent of authorized calls placed against this Blanket Purchase Agreement.

Interested vendors response should include a web site, price list or catalog which shows representative costs for supplies/services (if available).

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

924H Caterpillar Loader Maintenance & Repair Services

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Cold Regions Research and Engineering Lab (CRREL) in Hanover, New Hampshire has a requirement to provide for the long-term maintenance requirements for the Caterpillar 924H Bucket Loader serial number LKW00192. Specifically, the Caterpillar 924H has a rigorous and required set of preventative maintenance procedures. Additionally, in coordination with the preventative maintenance schedule which will identify items of concern, CRREL’s requirement extends to all the consumable items associated with the 924H that wear out due to normal use such as hydraulic fluids, hoses, tires, batteries, etc. Finally, CRREL’s requirement extends to diagnosis, trouble shooting, and corrective maintenance procedures that occur when a component catastrophically fails either due to a mishap or failure due to age such as a power steering pump, engine rebuild, headlight replacement, etc.

The qualifications required for these tasks and the equipment needed to effect completion of these maintenance activities exceed the skill and experience available in the CRREL staff and also exceed the maintenance facilities currently at CRREL. This necessitates contracting for a qualified outside professional to be responsible for the maintenance activities surrounding the Caterpillar 924H.

1.1 SCOPE

The Contractor shall perform the following:

a. The 24 preventative maintenance tasks as described in work package 0169 of TM 5-3805-298-23-2. It is understood that some of these tasks may necessitate the evacuation of the 924H to a maintenance facility;

in these cases, the 924H may only be absent from the CRREL Campus for a maximum of 7 consecutive days semiannually.

b. The replacement, when identified by preventative maintenance tasks, of items generally considered to be consumable such as (but not limited to) tires, hoses, belts, fluids, etc.

c. Any corrective maintenance task when either identified by a preventative maintenance or a mishap.

d. All work shall be covered by a one (1) year warranty on parts and service.

e. The relevant published standards for performance of this contract are manuals as follows:

TM 5-3805-298-10

TM 5-3805-298-23-1

TM 5-3805-298-23-2

2.5 Period of Performance.

The Master BPA will expire in five (5) years from date of award or total purchase reaching the BPA limit, whichever occurs first. Actual purchases will be made via properly executed BPA Call/Orders. These Calls/Orders shall be initiated at the time the services and/or supplies are needed by an authorized representative of the Contracting Office.

2.6 Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR).

The identification of duties and limitations of the COR are specified in the COR appointment letter, which will be provided to the contractor at or shortly after the time of award.

Other government employees may engage on this agreement as TPOCs as the effort evolves, as introduced by the COR and TPOC.

The offeror is reminded that if this project coordinates with other governmental organizations or stakeholders regarding this contract, then the COR and TPOC should be made aware of such meetings. CRREL’s TPOC and COR may wish to participate.
