Z -- MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND ALTERATION OF REAL PROPERTY SOL NHLBI-PS-99-497 DUE 091799 POC Deborah Coulter, Purchasing Agent, (301) 435-0368, Fax (301) 480-3345 The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute intends to issued a non-competitive modification to an existing purchase order # 263MJ913786, with Spaulding & Slye Services, 1025 Thomas Jefferson St., Washington, D.C. 20007, to continue to perform minor building repairs services and space modifications ending August 2000. Spaulding & Slye Services is the Lessor, and by General Services Administration (GSA) Lease Agreement, services must be obtained from the Lessor. STATEMENT OF WORK: BACK GROUND: In April 1995, NCRR took possession of a new leased office facility known as the Rockledge Centre, 6705 Rockledge Drive, Bethesda, MD. There is now and will continue to be a need for minor building repair and maintenance tasks. In addition, modifications to existing space are needed due to reorganization efforts, staff realignments, staff growth, and ongoing changes in the way we do business. A workable system is required to accomplish these types of tasks in an efficient manner within an acceptable timeframe. The normal NIH practice of using the NIH 62, Work Request, through the Division of Space and Facility Management, for requesting work in off-campus buildings is too time-consuming and, therefore, unresponsive to our needs. This "Handyman Contract" approach has been used successfully for about four years now by NCRR and other Rockledge Centre occupants. WORK SCOPE: A. A contractor is required who has the capability to perform minor repairs and space modification tasks for the scientific and administrative occupants of the Rockledge I building. Examples of the types of task to be required are as follows (this list is not to be construed as all Inclusive; these are only examples): Install, modify, and/or remove coat hooks, pictures, plaques, bulletin boards, tool holders, shelves, miscellaneous storage racks and holders. Repair drawers, cabinets, storage compartments, and closets. Adjust door closer and door sweeps and reinstall bumper guards. Install, modify, and/or remove shelves, cabinets, lights, electrical outlets, telecommunication boxes. Connect and disconnect equipment and furniture to electrical systems. Repair and/or install receptacles, ceiling tiles, door closures, door hardware, etc. Patch and/or paint walls, doors, doorjambs, etc., including minor touch-ups over and above normal wear and tear. Repairs include miscellaneous wall coverings and floor coverings. Demolish, build and/or modify walls. Provide supplemental air conditioning services, including maintenance agreements for above standard A/C units owned by NCRR. Uncrate, assemble, and move equipment and furniture, including systems furniture. Other miscellaneous services. A price list for typical tasks is attached. B. The contractor will be expected to initiate each assigned task within 24 hours and have it completed within 48 hours. The contractor will be responsible for purchasing minor items of supply (screws, washers, electrical outlets, switches, etc.) up to $200 and charging for those items on the individual task invoice. C.After each task is completed, the contractor is to have the work inspected and approved by the requester. D. The contractor may invoice the NIH and receive payment monthly. Each task and invoice is to reflect the number of labor hours, in quarter hour increments, it took to perform the task, the hourly rate, and the cost of purchased supplies if any. III. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: June 1999 through August 2000. IV.IDENTIFICATION OF PROJECT OFFICERS: The Primary Project Officer for this contract is: Billie A.
