The Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines the calibration and maintenance requirements for the Real Time Traction Tool (RT3) at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska. The focus is on ensuring the RT3 runway friction test equipment functions optimally. The contractor must conduct annual calibration and maintenance within a specified period, certifying the RT3's readiness. The work involves detailed inspections, testing, and updates, taking around eight hours per unit. Throughout the year, the contractor will also provide remote repair support, and if needed, authorized on-site repairs. The contract period is up to 1095 days.
Key tasks include comprehensive inspections, equipment testing, and necessary updates. The contractor must adhere to strict base access and security protocols and maintain a clean work area. The evaluation of proposals will likely focus on the contractor's ability to meet the detailed technical requirements and deliver efficient, timely services. Important dates include the submission deadline, expected around September, within the annual calibration window of August 1 to October 15.
The document outlines a Single Source Justification for the calibration and maintenance of the RT3 runway friction test equipment, specifically from Halliday Technologies, Inc. This service is crucial as the equipment is government property and requires annual certification. The estimated cost for the contract is $12,000. Halliday Technologies is unique in its ability to perform these services due to specialized training and the proprietary nature of the RT3 equipment. Efforts to find alternative service providers through market research revealed no viable candidates, as all searches ultimately pointed back to Halliday Technologies. To avoid future single-source dependencies, plans are in place to focus on procuring equipment that can be serviced by multiple vendors when replacement is necessary. The contracting officer, Zachery Pullen, confirmed that only a single source could meet the necessary requirements under the cited FAR regulation. This justification aims to ensure continued operational readiness of the RT3 equipment while addressing federal procurement protocols.
