Comprehensive multidiscipline capabilities in technical engineering and architectural services will be required to prepare the manuals based on design by others and from construction contractor submittals (e.g., product data, operation and maintenance data, shop drawings, basis of design, etc.). The architect-engineer or engineering services required under this announcement may also require preparation of Performance Work Statements (PWS), Quality Assurance Plans (QAP), cost estimates for Facility/Maintenance Support Contracts, Staffing Studies, and other studies related to the operation and maintenance of new and existing shore facilities.

OMSI is a product developed by an architect-engineer during the construction period to provide clear, comprehensive information on as-built systems to permit rapid and efficient takeover of the facility by Public Works Forces or service contractors, and to assure economical and safe life cycle operation, maintenance and repair. Principle OMSI elements are: (a) Basis of Design and Design/Operational Concept Data; (b) Data needed for preparation of Performance Work Statements (PWS), Quality Assurance Plans (QAP) and related Cost Estimates, as required for development of Facilities/Maintenance Support Contracts (FSC); (c) Operating Procedures for Routine and Emergency Start-up and Shutdown; Emergency and Safety Instructions; (d) Operation and Maintenance Technical Data and As-Built Product Documentation (Product Data, Shop Drawings, Test Data, etc.); (e) Maintenance Requirements, Test Equipment, and Special Tools; (f) Preventive Maintenance Requirements and Schedules; (g) Troubleshooting Guides, Diagnostic Techniques, Repair Procedures; (h) Supply Support (repair and spare parts, fuel, lubricants, etc.); (i) Extended and Special Warranty Information; (j) Environmental Considerations; and (k) Training Plans, Staffing Requirements and Personnel Qualifications.
