The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers – St. Paul District intends to issue a non-personal services Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) for construction quality assurance (QA) materials sampling and testing management services as well as weld inspection management services. The objective of this MATOC is to provide timely QA materials sampling and testing services in support of construction projects in the St. Paul District. The QA sampling and testing performed under this MATOC will be used to validate the quality control (QC) program of individual construction contractors awarded construction contracts with USACE throughout the St. Paul District. The QA validation provided under this MATOC will help to ensure that work performed by construction contractors meets the minimum technical requirements of their particular construction contracts. The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform in accordance with this Performance Work Statement (PWS). The Contractor shall ensure performance of field sampling, laboratory and field testing in accordance with applicable ASTM, AASHTO, AWS, IADOT, MNDOT, NDDOT, WIDOT, CRD, and other sampling and testing standards listed in the PWS. Additional scope information will be outlined in each MATOC call. The place of performance for field work for all MATOC calls will be within the boundaries of the St. Paul District, which covers portions of North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa. The place of performance for field work (field sampling and field testing) will be designated in each MATOC call. The majority of work is expected to be in the Fargo-Moorhead region. The laboratories used by the Contractor to perform sampling and testing under this MATOC shall be validated by the USACE Materials Testing Center (USACEMTC) for each test performed. The list of validated USACE-MTC laboratories and the tests for which the laboratories are validated can be found at https://mtc.erdc.dren.mil/searchvalidation.aspx. With each test report, the contractor shall provide the laboratory validation documentation that proves the laboratory is currently validated by MTC or ASHTO to perform the test. Certification documents by the American Welding Society (AWS) shall be provided for all weld test requirements. A list of the tests which may be part of the contract is attached.
