PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

Fuel Flow Meter Maintenance and Calibration

as of 01 August 2015

Part 1
General Information

1. GENERAL: This is a non-personal services contract to provide fuel flow

meter maintenance and calibration services to all types of fuel flow meters within
Afghanistan. The Government will 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.

1.1. Description 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 perform
fuel meter calibration and maintenance services 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: The purpose of this document is to establish a contract

providing fuel flow meter calibration and maintenance services for all types of fuel
flow meters in use within the country of Afghanistan. Requested period of
performance is for one year with two nine-month options. All Forward Operation
Bases (FOBs) in Afghanistan that receive fuel must have their fuel flow meters
maintained and calibrated annually to guarantee accurate measurements of fuel
downloaded. Without calibration, meters can become inaccurate through
continued use, and downloaded quantities will not be accurately verified. There
have already been disputes over download quantities. Without properly
calibrated fuel flow meters, the Government cannot properly validate download
quantities.

1.3. Objectives: Contractors shall occupy a worksite at Bagram to conduct

maintenance and calibrate fuel flow meters. FOBs needing maintenance and
calibration of their fuel flow meters will ship the meters to BAF, to be received by
the Contractor for preventive maintenance and/or corrective maintenance and
calibration.

1.4. Scope: The Contractor shall perform calibration and maintenance on fuel
flow meters used at fixed fuel facilities, at semi-fixed fuel facilities, and on tactical
fuel systems within the country of Afghanistan based on a schedule outlined by
the US Army that will require calibration and maintenance on at least seven fuel
flow meters per week or at least 30 fuel flow meters per month.

1
1.4.1. The Contractor shall be required to calibrate meters on behalf of Defense
Logistics Agency-Energy (DLA-E). DLA-E shall supply the Contractor with a list
of all fuel flow meters that DLA-E will have the Contractor perform maintenance
and calibration. This will include Temperature Volume Compensating (TVC)
meters. The Contractor shall annotate which meters are eligible for DLA-E
funding on all reports.

1.4.2. The Contractor shall perform preventive and/or corrective maintenance

and calibrate fuel flow meters at Bagram Airfield. Meter assemblies will be
staged at the Contractors identified facilities for preventive and/or corrective
maintenance and calibration. The Contractors identified facilities will be
provided by the Government. Facilities provided include land, space and an
enclosed structure in which to perform the requirements outlined in this
Performance Work Statement.

1.4.3. Fuel flow meter calibration shall be in compliance with all applicable
American Petroleum Institute (API) standards, National Institute of Science and
Technology (NIST) standards, and manufacturers technical instructions.
Specific fuel flow meter technical manuals and standards shall be utilized for
calibration procedures and required accuracy levels. The Contractor shall be
responsible for acquiring and maintaining commercial technical manuals and
standards. The Government will be responsible for providing all military service
manuals and other related government references.

1.4.4. Fuel flow meter calibration is required during initial installation, after
corrective maintenance has been performed, after a flow meter is removed for
maintenance to a fuel facility system, whenever a flow meters accuracy is
reasonably suspect, or prior to a meter reaching 12 months without routine
calibration.

1.4.5. There are approximately 292 fuel flow meters throughout Afghanistan to
be covered by this contract. The number of fuel flow meters will decrease
depending on the timing of the decrease in number of fuel points. The
Contractor shall be required to maintain the capability to complete maintenance
and calibration on at least 7 fuel flow meters per week or at least 30 fuel flow
meters per month.

1.4.6. All calibration systems and equipment utilized to calibrate fuel flow meters
must meet API and NIST standards and must be calibrated in accordance with
these standards.

1.4.7. Maintenance of fuel flow meters shall be conducted as per the

manufacturer and Armys technical standards and manuals. All preventive
maintenance and general cleaning shall be conducted at the same time as
calibration servicing. Corrective maintenance shall be conducted when

2
requested by the Government or as required to calibrate the meter assembly
during calibration servicing.

1.4.8. The Contractor shall deactivate all TVC meters prior to calibrating fuel flow
meters. The Contractor shall ensure that the TVC mechanical apparatus inside
the gearbox is disengaged, so that it does not affect or manipulate fuel flow
meter calibration or accuracy.

1.4.9. The Contractor shall ensure that all fuel flow meters and TVC meters are
sealed to prevent tampering or manipulation of calibration. The TVC meters will
be sealed in the deactivation position unless the Contractor is directed by the
Contracting Officer Representative (COR) to leave engaged. The Contractor
shall document and notify the COR if any seals of received fuel flow meters are
broken or appear to be tampered with.

1.4.10. Any corrective maintenance above 60% of the economical value of the
fuel flow meter shall be deemed unfeasible to repair. Economical value shall be
based on the cost of the same or a similar replacement fuel flow meter at current
U.S. commercial market value. The Contractor shall provide a cost assessment
to the COR for a determination by the Government to repair or replace any fuel
flow meter meeting these criteria.

1.4.11. The Contractor shall be required to provide all personnel, equipment,

tools, materials, fuel, and supervision required to perform maintenance and
calibration of fuel flow meters. The Contractor shall be liable for all applicable
work permits, tools, parts, and workforce to accomplish the task. The Contractor
shall maintain a stock of parts needed to repair the meters at the Government
provided facility at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan and may bill the Government to
recover the cost of repair parts.

1.4.12. The U.S. Government reserves the right to conduct a pre-award survey.

1.4.13. The Contractor shall be required to calibrate fixed fuel meters at various
fuel sites in theater. The Contractor shall use military transportation, lodging, and
billeting when traveling to fixed fuel meter sites. In the event military
transportation, lodging, and billeting are not available, the Contractor shall
contact the COR prior to making any logistical plans. Any in-country transit to
sites for servicing fixed meters will be Government supplied and not subject to
billing.

1.5. The Period of Performance will be for a one year base and two 9-month
option periods, and will begin within 30 days after contract award.
