1.  The following paragraph is added to the Performance Work Statement (PWS) as follows:

3.3.8.1 MEP Technical Assistance

During the period of this contract, the Enterprise Computing Center (ECC) will be experiencing new construction.  The General Services Administration (GSA) will be implementing a project to build a new Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing Plant (MEP) on the ECC campus.  A substantial amount of new equipment is expected to be installed in addition to moving some of the existing equipment.  The GSA MEP contractors will be responsible for the oversight and installation of the new equipment, movement of the existing equipment, and ensuring all equipment is fully operational prior to turn over to the operations and maintenance contractor.  There may be a period of time when the operations and maintenance contractor will not be responsible for maintaining equipment that is involved in these construction activities.  However, the operations and maintenance contractor will be required to closely coordinate this effort to ensure there are no gaps in maintenance and operation.  Additionally, the operations and maintenance contractor will be required to keep the remainder of the building operational during the construction period.

Negotiation of the (1) transfer of responsibility of existing equipment to the GSA for operations and maintenance purposes and (2) addition of a MEP Technical Assistant with knowledge of the stop and start-up of building systems will be scheduled with the contractor as the IRS obtains more definite information regarding these activities.  The MEP Technical Assistant’s roles and responsibilities will be similar in nature to that of a “30084 Engineering Technician IV”, as found in the following Department of Labor link (http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/regs/compliance/wage/SCADirV5/SCADirectVers5.pdf).  

The Government will modify the contract to include the MEP Technical Assistant for the O&M contractor prior to the final design, planning, construction phases and commissioning of the new MEP.  The MEP Technical Assistant will be required to have complete knowledge of all operations and maintenance of critical equipment such that they can represent the O&M contractor and Government during progress and coordination meetings.

The MEP Technical Assistant will be responsible for the day-to-day oversight of the MEP construction and how it affects the critical operations of the ECC as a whole.  They will coordinate the shutdown and start-up of all equipment as necessary for the construction of the MEP, while at the same time keeping the Center in operation.  As equipment is being removed from the old MEP and relocated to the new MEP, the MEP Technical Assistant shall ensure proper operation of the equipment during re-commissioning before it goes back online.  As equipment is re-commissioned and accepted by the MEP Technical Assistant and the O&M COTR, it will then become the responsibility of the O&M contractor.

The MEP Technical Assistant will also be a key component during the installation, testing, inspection and commissioning of any new equipment.  As new equipment is commissioned and accepted by the MEP Technical Assistant and the O&M COTR, it will then be negotiated into the O&M contract.

The MEP Technical Assistant will meet daily with the COTR, Building Manager, MEP Project Manager, GSA representatives, Procurement officials, IRS Inspectors, etc.  The MEP Technical Assistant will report directly to the O&M contract Project Manager (PM) and will only take direction from the PM.

The MEP Technical Assistant will assist other functions of the O&M contract when not needed to be directly involved with the MEP Project.
