PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS) for

Drinking Water Intake Screen Evaluation

P art Ge ner al Inf or ma tio n

1. GENERAL: This is a non-personal services contract to provide an operational evaluation of the intake screen at the Fort Detrick Water Treatment Plant (WTP). The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

1.1. Description of Services/Introduction: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform an operational evaluation of the intake screen at the Fort Detrick WTP as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2. Background: Fort Detrick owns and operates the WTP for treatment of drinking water for consumers throughout the installation. The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) letter, located in Technical Exhibit (TE) 4, requires Fort Detrick to conduct a feasibility evaluation on retrofitting or replacing the intake screen at the WTP. The WTP was under upgrades construction during the initial 2014 feasibility study to meet DNR withdrawal requirements and operational evaluations could not be accomplished. The contract will fulfill Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) requirements to complete an operational evaluation to determine alternatives. The evaluation will also identify specific design, operational requirements and costs to implement retrofitting/replacing intake screen.

1.3. Objectives: The objective of this task is to provide an operational evaluation of the intake screen at the Fort Detrick WTP. An engineering evaluation (feasibility study) was previously conducted when the water treatment plant (WTP) was out-of-service and therefore a comprehensive evaluation could not be conducted. The engineering evaluation was conducted to identify and initially evaluate potential alternatives that could meet DNR withdrawal requirements. An operational evaluation must be conducted when the WTP is in service to determine which of the alternatives would be best to meet the requirements and identify specific design and plant operating requirements.

1.4. Scope: The contractor shall provide an operational evaluation of the intake screen at the Fort Detrick WTP. The evaluation detailed in this PWS shall be conducted to evaluate the two (2) alternatives identified in the previously conducted feasibility study (retrofitting the temporary intake screens and retrofitting the traveling screen) to meet new screening requirements to reduce entrainment and impingement of aquatic organisms. Coordination must be conducted with the MDE to ensure that alternatives detailed in the evaluation will meet intake screening requirements.

1.5. Period of Performance: The period of performance shall be for 9 months.

1.6. General Information

1.6.1. Quality Control: Not Applicable.

1.6.2. Quality Assurance: The government shall evaluate the contractor’s performance under this contract in accordance with the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan. This plan is primarily focused on what the Government must do to ensure that the contractor has performed in accordance with the performance standards. It defines how the performance standards will be applied, the frequency of surveillance, and the minimum acceptable defect rate(s).

1.6.3. Recognized Holidays:

New Year’s Day Labor Day Martin Luther King Jr.’s Birthday Columbus Day President’s Day Veteran’s Day Memorial Day Thanksgiving Day Independence Day Christmas Day

1.6.4. Hours of Operation: The contractor is responsible for conducting business, between the hours of 7: 00 a.m.

The Contractor must at all times maintain an adequate workforce for the uninterrupted performance of all tasks defined within this PWS when the Government facility is not closed for the above reasons. When hiring personnel, the Contractor shall keep in mind that the stability and continuity of the workforce are essential.

1.6.5. Place of Performance: The work to be performed under this contract will be performed at contractor and government facilities.

1.6.6. Type of Contract: The government will award a firm-fixed price contract.

PART 5

SPECIFIC TASKS

5. Specific Tasks:

5.1. Basic Services: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform an operational evaluation of the intake screen to satisfy Maryland DNR requirements outlines in TE-4 for retrofitting or replacing the WTP current intake to meet new screening requirements to reduce entrainment and impingement of aquatic organisms.

5.2. WTP Intake Screen Operational Evaluation: The contractor shall provide an operational evaluation of the intake screen at the Fort Detrick WTP. An initial engineering study was previously completed to determine potential alternatives for meeting DNR withdrawal requirements. The operational evaluation must be conducted to determine a specific alternative that would best meet the screening requirements to reduce entrainment and impingement of aquatic organisms, especially fish eggs and larvae during the spawning season. Maryland DNR requirements specify that the water intake pipe be covered with a screen having a nominal mesh size of one millimeter and that the intake velocity does not exceed 0.5 feet per second. The evaluation must assess impacts of this requirement on plant operations or determine if a larger mesh size would be significantly more advantageous to operations and how the larger mesh size would impact entrainment. The evaluation must detail screen cleaning because screen clogging may result in higher intake velocity and reduce intake quantity. The evaluation must provide specific design of new intake screening; identify operation and maintenance requirements; costs to implement retrofitting/replacing intake screen; and permitting requirements associated with recommended screen modifications.

5.3. Reporting: The contractor shall provide an evaluation report documenting all requirements detailed in Section

5.2 of this PWS. A draft version of the report shall be submitted to the COR within 4 months of contract award date for review and comment by the COR. A final version shall be completed within 6 months and will incorporate all discussed draft comments.

5.4.
