SITE VISIT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR OFFERORS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I. STATEMENT OF WORK The purpose of this Statement of Work (SOW) is for the inspection and repair of the training tank liner, associated fixtures, and any other structural deficiencies in the training tank located in Laurel, Maryland 20708. General The training tank was built in approximately 1988 and is made as an aluminum structure not concrete. It was retrofitted at a later date (approximately 1993) with a pool liner attached to felt and the aluminum surface. The training tank is an Olympic size swimming pool but shorter in dimension by approximately one foot. The contractor shall inspect and repair any deficiencies in the liner of the training tank located in the Wilson Building. This work shall include all labor and materials associated with this project. The Wilson Building training tank is one of the essential training venues at the James J. Rowley Training Center concerning physical fitness and water safety. The training tank (pool) is a major component of the Secret Service physical fitness protocol and is used 365 days a year for training. Therefore, draining of the tank only occurs to rectify maintenance issues. The training tank currently has a leak from an unknown origin or source, causing the liner to pull away from the aluminum structure. This issue has allowed water to bubble between the pool liner and the felt that adheres to the aluminum structure. Due to the present issue, the training tank (pool) has been drained, thus no training can occur until this problem is resolved. It should be noted there is a crawl space around the entire perimeter of the training tank (pool). It is possible that corrosion could be found on the aluminum structure during the inspection. Although this repair is not covered under this contract, it should be brought to the attention of the COTR immediately. Statement of Work The contractor shall provide all necessary equipment, materials and labor for the inspection and repair of the training tank. The contractor shall conduct a complete physical inspection of the structure, crawl spaces, light fixtures, compression flanges/jets, skimmer, tank liner, and felt. The contractor shall remove the water which is currently trapped between the aluminum tank structure and the pool liner/felt. The contractor shall dry out the felt liner to prevent corrosion. Upon completion of inspection, the contractor shall perform the necessary repairs to bring the training tank back into full operation. The contractor shall install two main drain grates in compliance with the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act which shall meet or exceed industry standards in the training tank. Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative (COTR) shall approve all material selections prior to installation. Other consideration: All work to be performed by experienced trained personnel employed by a material manufacturer that has been engaged in the formulation and manufacture of reinforced PVC membranes for use in commercial pools for greater than 10 years. House Keeping Contractor shall remove all trash and debris, haul it to an appropriate dumpster, or designated trash site on a daily basis. All areas of work shall be broom swept and kept in an orderly state on a daily basis. Contractor Deliverables All deliveries are the contractor’s responsibility. The contractor shall coordinate the deliveries with the Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative prior to the delivery, specifying the date and time. The contractor shall be responsible for off and on loading equipment and materials. Upon contract award, the contractor shall submit a safety and health plan (accident prevention plan) for this project, specifically addressing their confined space plan. The inspection and maintenance operations in the crawl spaces around the pool shall be addressed from the standpoint of: atmosphere testing, communication, rescue operations, identification of the competent person, personal protective equipment (PPE), lighting, rescue equipment, etc. In addition, the contractor shall submit MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) for all materials being used as part of this project. Special Provisions Contractor personnel proposed to work under this contract shall be US citizens and non-felons.
