The CO designates the COR, who is responsible for administering the performance of work under this contract. In no event, however, will any understanding, agreement, modification, change order, or other matter deviating from the terms of this contract be effective or binding upon the Government unless formalized by proper contractual documents executed by the CO prior to completion of the contract.

If the COR persists and there still exists a disagreement as to proper contractual coverage, the Contracting

Officer should be notified immediately, preferably in writing if time permits. Proceeding with work without proper contractual coverage could result in nonpayment or necessitate submittal of a contract claim.

Lost and Found Property:

The Contractor shall ensure all articles of possible personal or monetary value found by the Contractor’s employees are turned into the COR or the Contracting Officer.

The Government reserves the right to approve or disapprove any subcontractors selected.

Therefore, the Contractor shall obtain approval from the Contracting Officer for all subcontractors prior to entering into any subcontracts for the performance of work under this contract. The Contractor’s request for approval shall be in writing and include the specific work to be accomplished by the subcontractor.

Formal requests, reports and invoices must be submitted in writing. Communication by email is a good practice for the purposes of documentation. At times communication will occur as meetings between the Contractor and the Government.

PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES AND STANDARDS

The Contractor shall ensure that the building presents an overall appearance of cleanliness. The front lobby is a highly visible area and will need to meet higher expectations. The Contractor shall provide sufficient supplies, materials and equipment to adequately maintain the premises at an acceptable level of cleaning that is consistent with comparable industry standards for this type of contract. The definition of clean is for all areas, objects and surfaces to be free of dirt, water streaks, gum, grease, tar, or any other extraneous matter in order to present an overall appearance of cleanliness.

Performance will be based on the Contractor’s success in meeting the performance and quality standards, not the method of performance. The contractor service requirements are summarized into performance objectives that relate directly to the essential services provided.

The stated performance thresholds are the minimum acceptable levels of service for each stated requirement. All aspects of the contractor performance are subject to Government surveillance, and absence of any contract requirements from the Performance Objectives identified below will not detract from the enforceability, nor limit the rights or remedies of the Government under other contract clauses.

Performance Objective Performance Threshold Perform all services required in accordance with the Statement of Work on a regular basis Not to exceed 1 valid complaint of unsatisfactory per week Perform all services as required for periodic cleaning Not to exceed 1 valid complaint of unsatisfactory per interval

CLEANING FREQUENCY AND SCHEDULES

Regular cleaning shall occur on a frequency of two (2) times per week. The preferred service days are Wednesday and Sunday, with weekday work being performed between the hours of 4:30 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. so as not to conflict with Forest Service work, unless otherwise agreed between the Contractor and COR. Prior approval from the CO is required before work may be performed on a Federal holiday.

Routine tasks are those which are expected to be performed at each visit or on a weekly basis.

Periodic tasks are those which are performed on other than a per-visit or weekly basis.

CONSTRAINTS AND EXEMPTED TASKS

-Items on desks and other working surfaces or Forest Service employee storage areas shall not be disturbed.

-The Contractor shall not expose electronic equipment, including computer monitors, to liquids of any kind except as directed in the contract or approved by the COR in advance.

-The Contractor is not responsible to empty or handle recycling bins -Any locked offices for which the Contractor has no key or areas otherwise designated as off limits are exempt from routine services with the exception of cleaning door surfaces and empting any trash bins placed within the Contractor’s access.

IN THE EVENT SERVICES ARE NOT PERFORMED OR REQUIRED

In the event services are not provided or required because the facility is closed due to inclement weather, unanticipated non-Federal holidays declared by the President, failure of the Congress to appropriate funds, etc., the CO shall either:

a. Direct the Contractor to perform the work contractually specified over a number of immediately subsequent day(s) equal to the duration of the shutdown, or

b. Forego the work and reduce payment due to the Contractor for work not performed. The deduction rate in dollars per day shall be equal to the per-month fixed price divided by number of service days for that month and then multiplied by the number of days services were not provided. Appropriate adjustments will be made by the CO in the event services are provided for portions of days, or

c. Reschedule the work on day(s) satisfactory to both parties.

EMERGENCY OR SPECIAL EVENT CLEANING SERVICES

Any situation requiring cleaning services beyond those normally encountered in routine cleaning work will be considered “emergency”. Situations requiring emergency cleaning will be referred to the Contracting Officer or COR prior to commencing work. If the Contracting Officer determines that the situation requires extra effort on the part of the Contractor, equitable reimbursement will be provided to the Contractor for the level of effort over and above that normally required, (e.g. fire or flood damage, construction work, etc.).

Residue from relocating furniture or litter left from meetings or routine gatherings are not considered emergency cleaning.

PREWORK CONFERENCE AND OTHER MEETINGS

Prior to commencement of work, a pre-work meeting may be arranged between the Contractor and the Contracting Officer to discuss the contract terms and work performance requirements.

At this time, the Contracting officer will designate a Contracting Officer Representative (COR) and the Contractor shall designate, in writing, the name and phone number of the Contractor’s on-site representative/ supervisor and their responsibilities. At any time during contract performance, a meeting may be requested by the Government or the Contractor and may be scheduled at a time and place agreeable to both parties. The purpose of the meeting shall be to address any issues preventing or endangering the successful completion of the contract requirements and to identify methods of improvement.

Quality Control Program The Contractor shall establish a complete, written Quality Control Program (QCP) to ensure the requirements of the contract are met as specified in the guidelines. The Contractor’s QCP shall be incorporated into this contract after acceptance by the Government. The QCP need not be elaborate, but shall address in writing at least the following information:

1. A checklist or plan for inspection of the services provided throughout the building that addresses all contract performance areas and ensures compliance with contract terms. It is not required to provide separate personnel for performing janitorial services and for inspection, but in the case a single person is proposed for both tasks, the QCP must explain how that person intends to ensure compliance with contract standards. If separate persons are proposed, they shall be named and their designated tasks identified.

2. A system to record inspection results and any corrective actions taken, and to ensure that the Contractor’s employees or subcontractors are notified of any deficiencies in their area of responsibility if applicable. If the Contractor intends to utilize subcontractor(s) or employee(s) as the primary janitor(s) under this contract, the QCP must explain how the Contractor intends to ensure that the janitor(s) is/ are properly trained for the work and how they will be re-trained or replaced if necessary to correct continued or severe performance deficiencies communicated by the Government. Provide a time frame (such as a number of days) by which the Government can anticipate improved services after communicating a significant service deficiency. For minor deficiencies, performance improvement results are anticipated on the following day routine services are performed.

3. A description of actions the Contractor shall take in the event that the primary janitor(s) become unavailable to provide janitorial services for an extended period of time (longer than two consecutive routine service days).

4. A plan to ensure that all issued keys, access cards or identification items are not lost, misplaced, or used by unauthorized persons.

5. A list of the equipment proposed or available for this project that meets solicitation requirements.

The Contractor shall maintain a file of all inspections conducted by the Contractor and the corrective actions taken. This documentation is considered to be a part of the Contractor’s Quality Control Program, but does not need to be made available for review unless requested by the Government.

INSPECTION (GOVERNMENT’S QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE PLAN)

The Government will visually inspect the Contractor’s performance on a random basis shortly after the scheduled cleaning time or after receipt of complaint from building employee(s) under this contract to ensure compliance with contract guidelines. The COR will record inspection observations, deficiencies will be documented with a written inspection report provided to the Contractor. When unacceptable performance is observed, the COR will meet with the Contractor’s supervisor to review the inspection report and ensure that the Contractor has an understanding of the unacceptable services. The preferred method to resolve deficiencies is to allow re-performance to correct the deficiencies. The Contractor shall be provided with the opportunity to correct substandard performance within one business day or other timeframe as determined by the COR. When substandard performance is not corrected within the specified timeframe or the Contractor refuses to re-perform the service, the unsatisfactory service is logged as a deficiency. Deductions from payment may result from deficient services.

INVOICING AND PAYMENT

Payment will be made in arrears for janitorial services that have been satisfactorily provided.

Payment will be made by Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) to the bank account designated in the Contractor’s SAM Entity at www.sam.gov. A SAM Entity of any status other than Active may delay payment processing.

The Contractor shall submit an invoice monthly or at another frequency as agreed between the COR and the Contractor. Use of the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP) at www.ipp.gov is required for all invoices under this contract. The Contractor shall also submit the completed inspection checklist for the invoiced time period from the approved Quality Control Plan. The Contractor may attach this checklist to the invoice in IPP (recommended) or may email, fax, or otherwise deliver the checklist to the COR. The Government will review the performance as compared to contract standards, the Quality Assurance Plan and the Performance Objectives.

Monthly payments to the Contractor will be reduced for logged deficiencies, as described in the Inspection clause. Deductions for deficiencies shall be calculated at 1/30th of the unit price for each day the Contractor fails to correct the deficiency.

BIOBASED PRODUCT USE AND BIOBASED PROGRAM REPORTING REQUIREMENT

The Contractor shall provide and utilize expendable (chemical or material) products in the performance of this contract, to which Biobased Program requirements regarding the procurement and reporting of such products apply. See FAR Clause 52.223-2 and www.biopreferred.gov.

WAGE DETERMINATION

Wage Determination No. 2015-5678, Revision 8, dated 08/10/2018, is applicable to this contract and is attached. The full text of the Wage Determination may also be accessed electronically at www.wdol.gov or a copy may be requested from the Contracting Officer.

SOLICITATION PROVISIONS

GOVERNMENT POINTS OF CONTACT

If you have questions about the solicitation, contact Rebecca Wilcox at rwilcox@fs.fed.us or 530-226-2447. To schedule a site visit, contact Jason D. Peterson at jasondpeterson@fs.fed.us or 530-629-4789.

EVALUATION FACTORS

The Government intends to award a firm fixed price contract resulting from this solicitation to the single responsible quoter whose technical response and price quote are believed to offer the most advantageous combination to the Government. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes.

Understanding of the Requirement Per FAR Clause 52.237-1, site visitation is urged and expected so that quoters understand the level of effort required to meet contract requirements before providing a quote. To respond to this factor, quoters shall describe their familiarity with the site and understanding of the level of effort required, and shall clearly indicate whether they visited the site or obtained information about the site through other means (and, if the latter, what other means were used.)

Relevant Experience Relevant Experience is the measure of a quoter’s experience providing the same or similar services as those desired for this solicitation. Most importantly, this refers to the relevant experience of the person(s) proposed to perform routine and periodic on-site janitorial service tasks. Secondarily, it refers to the relevant experience of the Contractor in performing supervisory and administrative services as the supervisor, employer or prime contractor for a janitorial contract. To respond to this factor, describe:

1. The relevant experience of the proposed janitorial service provider(s), and

2. The relevant experience of the Contractor in a supervisory contract role separate from performance of on-site janitorial services, if applicable.

3. If a quoter intends to perform as both service provider and supervisor, the quote should so state. Responses which do not name the specific person(s) to perform janitorial and supervisory services and which fail to list relevant experience for that person/ those persons may be considered unsatisfactory, due to an inability to evaluate. Quoters may propose the same person for both janitorial services and supervision, but should so state.

Past Performance Past Performance is a measure of the degree to which a quoter has satisfied its customers, complied with contract terms and conditions in addition to applicable laws and regulations. The Government may contact references to evaluate a quoter’s past performance record, but is not limited to the references given. The Government may gather information regarding, among other items, the quality of services, customer satisfaction, and business relations. To respond to this factor, provide:

1. A list of up to three references (from past contracts, past employment or other projects) for whom the quoter has performed services. Provide the reference name and company/ agency name if applicable, a contact phone number, and a brief description of the services performed (what, where, when).

2. Quoters may combine Relevant Experience and Past Performance by listing references for whom they have performed the specific services described in the factor above.

3. Quoters without past performance references will still be considered and will receive a “Neutral” past performance rating if no information is otherwise available. A quoter with no past performance shall so state and explain why (i.e. ‘new to contracting’, etc.) or else the response may be considered unsatisfactory.

Quality Control Program: As part of the quote, submit a written Quality Control Program (QCP) designed to ensure contract requirements are met. A complete QCP will address all of the required components described in the Contractor’s Quality Control Program section of the solicitation/ contract.

Price: Fill out and return the SF 1449. Boxes 17a, 23, 24, and 30 (a, b, and c) are required. Box 12 is optional. Price evaluation shall be based on the price of the base and all options combined. Evaluation and award of options does not obligate the Government to exercise the options. The Government will evaluate price to determine reasonability
