CENTRALIZED FURNITURE PROCESS

BUILDING STRONG®

BUILDING STRONG®

Order Preparation

Comprehensive Interior Design is typically based on one manufacturer, with a minimum of two alternates

Descriptions must be generic Huntsville Engineering and Support Center (HNC) lifts

the descriptions and inserts them into Section 3 of the Furniture Item Description (FID), removing any remaining proprietary features

Garrison / Corps of Engineers District reviews the final FID and Line Items before solicitation

21

BUILDING STRONG®

Solicitation

HNC’s goal►two weeks minimum for quote preparation►Up to four weeks for large jobs

Questions need to be submitted early in the quote period

Quote must include a tech data sheet that addresses each element of the FID for each line item in the solicitation

22

BUILDING STRONG®

Tech Review Pass / Fail analysis

► Make acceptable tech data sheets available to dealers► No guarantee of multiple rounds of clarifications

Technically acceptable quotes are forwarded to Contracting Officer (KO) for a best value analysis

Primary factors typically delivery or cost► Delivery

• Furniture Install Start Date

• Furniture Install Completion Date

23

BUILDING STRONG®

Contractor Delivery

HNC Contracting Officers hold manufacturer’s quoted after receipt of order (ARO) to be effective as of the signature of the Contracting Officer, not when the order is placed in the factory.

Mfr performance ratings will be degraded if delivery is not made in accordance with the contract dates for any unchanged items.

24

BUILDING STRONG®

Post-Award Walk Thru

Purpose►Verify final colors / finishes►Check for construction interferences►Look at unloading / movement routes►Confirm specific delivery instructions►NOT INTENDED TO CHANGE PRODUCT

25

BUILDING STRONG®

Contract Modifications

Process mirrors a solicitation►HQ approval for user changes►Mod tech prep►Customer approval►Solicitation►Tech Review►Obtain funding from customer►Award

26

BUILDING STRONG®

Delivery / Install

Visual inspection of the facility prior to install is useful

Refer to Scope of Work appendix F for installation specific instructions, such as access gates, hours of operation, safety apparel, etc

27

BUILDING STRONG®

Payment

Receiving reports► Garrisons may hold the receiving report until missing /

damaged items are replaced► HNC has a discrepancy form for partial receiving reports► Manufacturers need to prompt dealers about completion

status

Invoices► Must match the line item (quote) sheet of the contract► Pricing must match contract pricing

28

BUILDING STRONG®

CHALLENGES

29

BUILDING STRONG®

Incomplete Quotes

Mfrs have opportunities to work with HNC to understand requirements

Culture at HNC is changing to award to first technically acceptable quoter

Rounds of revised quotes / tech reviews are costly, time consuming, and benefit no one.

30

BUILDING STRONG®

Changes

Better ideas need to be submitted with quote – not brought up after award

Contract is fixed price – not level of effort. Cannot substitute items or do puts and takes.

Require user / Garrison funding, which can create delays

Only the Contracting Officer at Huntsville can authorize a change, through the modification process

31

BUILDING STRONG®32

Joint Occupancy

Agreements need to be put in place prior to the beginning of a project furniture install.

BUILDING STRONG®

Delivery / Install – Joint Occupancy

Demand a visual inspection of the facility prior to install, especially for joint occupancy►Photos or video of prior damage, especially in

transfer corridors, may save time later

Follow all safety procedures, including safety equipment, if required

33

BUILDING STRONG®

INITIATIVES

34

BUILDING STRONG®

HNC Quality Assurance (QA) Program

Army’s Furniture Program Procedure► Garrison / District performs QA► HNC provides occasional “back check”

Policy on Non-Conforming Items► Repair in place, if feasible► Replace what cannot be repaired
