Description: PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS) Missouri EXEVAL (16-20 March 2015) Structural Collapse Venue Site (SCVS) Support Part 1 General Information 1.General: This is a non-personal services contract to provide Missouri Ready 2015 to contractor support to provide SCVS reset. 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. The NGB J3/7 provides the Chief, National Guard Bureau (CNGB) with subject matter expertise on joint doctrine, training, education, and exercises to ensure a trained and balanced National Guard force ready to support any mission of the several States or Combatant Commanders. 1.1Description 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 provide a vital realistic element to the Missouri Ready 2015 as defined in this Performance Work Statement except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract. 1.2 Background: In conjunction with the National Guard Bureau (NGB), Missouri NG is tasked to develop and support regional training and exercise activities aimed to enhance domestic contingency readiness. Missouri NG ensures these functions are integrated and complementary where appropriate. NGB uses Structure Collapse Simulators (SCS) to simulate the collapsed state of buildings due to a natural disaster or a domestic terrorism event. The use of these simulator venues supports regional training and exercises to enhancing domestic contingency preparedness exercises and evaluations of CBRNE Enhanced Response Force Package (CERFP), Homeland Response Force (HRF) and other CBRNE response capabilities. A Structure Collapse Venue Site (SCVS) is a location where one or more SCS are used to simulate the collapsed state of buildings. 1.3 Scope: The contractor shall provide SCVS setup and reset for Missouri Ready 2015. Personnel assigned to this task shall possess the skills and expertise necessary to perform assigned tasks associated with this order. Additionally, the contractor will provide search and extraction lanes training to simulate a realistic structure collapse. 1.4 Objectives: This Performance Work Statement (PWS) establishes performance requirements for contractor tasks necessary to reset SCVS. These simulators were built to be realistic, challenging, and maintainable, to provide the needed skill lanes. The training venues provide strategic and tactical skills challenges of such complexity that repetitiveness does not breed familiarity with the training prop and training lanes. The SCVS is of sufficient size and complexity to keep the Search and Extraction (S&E) teams training in a realistic condition and environment so individuals gain valuable experience and expertise working on a simulated quote mark real world quote mark structure collapse. 1.5Period of Performance: Phase-In Period: 14-18 March 2015 (Preparation for Contract Performance) Contract Period: 19-20 March 2015 (Exercise) Missouri Ready 2015 After Action Review: 21 March 2015 (Contract Manager Only) 1.6General Information: 1.6.11Program Management: The following subsections specify requirements for contract, management, and personnel administration. 1.6.11.1Key Personnel: The Contractor shall provide a Contract Manager who shall be responsible for the performance of the work.
