FOREWORD _________________________________________________________


This guide is designed to help installations develop acquisition 

packages for A/C and Refrigeration Plants and Systems.  Additional, 

supplemental guidance is contained in the U.S. Army Center for  

Public Work's DPW Service Contract Guide (P-10), dated April 1992. 


This guide is formatted in accordance with (IAW) the Uniform 

Contract Format (UCF) prescribed by the Federal Acquisition 

Regulation (FAR) to help DPW performance work statement (PWS) 

writers and contracting officers assemble complete acquisition 

packages.  It is divided into the following four parts:


                       PART I - THE SCHEDULE

                    PART II - CONTRACT CLAUSES

   PART III - LIST OF DOCUMENTS, EXHIBITS AND OTHER ATTACHMENTS

            PART IV - REPRESENTATIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS


Each part has specific sections which contain information, 

instructions and examples pertaining to the development of a 
    
complete A/C and Refrigeration Plants and Systems Service Contract 
 
acquisition package.  Special emphasis has been placed on 

PART I - SECTION C, Description/Specifications.  Examples of 

Performance Work Statements (PWS) have been developed from an 

assortment of recent installation A/C and refrigeration plants and



                           2





systems maintenance contracts.

    






                                 i








Use of this guide should result in an acquisition package 

containing performance oriented work statements which are clear, 

concise, comprehensive, and relatively easy to administer and 

monitor once they are contracted.


Recommendations or suggestions for improvement are welcomed.  For
