E.1 Government Inspections

Government inspections are for the purpose of satisfying the Government that the services are acceptable and do not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for maintaining quality control.

The Contracting Officer's Representative or designated inspector will conduct all inspections. The Contractor (or designated representative) is encouraged to be present to observe inspections. Summary results will be made available on request.

Compliance Inspections. Visual compliance inspections will be made on a periodic basis. Such inspections are not final and do not constitute acceptance by the Government.

Final Inspections. Final (formal) inspections for payment will be made on completed sub-items only.

Contractor shall request final inspections in writing and give the Forest Service at least two working days advanced notice. Inspections will be completed within four working days after the notice is received. If the work is not ready for inspection at the time specified by the Contractor, the cost associated with the inspection attempt may be charged to the Contractor.

Disputed Inspection. The Contractor may request re-inspection without rework if the results are unacceptable. Re-inspection must be requested in writing within 48 hours after receiving written notice of the inspection results. Re-inspection will be accomplished within five working days after receipt of the contractor's written request.

The same sampling and inspection procedures will be used, but new samples will be taken. The inspection pattern will be shifted so that new samples will not overlap previously inspected samples.

Results will be rounded to the nearest whole percent.

If re-inspection results are within five percentage points of the first inspection, the original inspection result will be used in determining acceptability and payment. If re-inspection results are greater than five percentage points above or below the first inspection, the re-inspection results will be used.

If the re-inspection results are within five percentage points of the first inspection, the Contractor shall pay the actual costs of the re-inspection.

Re-inspection after Rework. Where rework after a failed inspection may improve the inspection results, the Contractor may rework the area and request (in writing) a second inspection. The Government will charge to the Contractor the cost of this additional inspection. Re-inspection will be accomplished within five working days after the notice is received. The results of the second inspection will be final, and no

SECTION E. INSPECTIONS AND ACCEPTANCE

129JGP20Q0011

further rework will be permitted. Areas not ready for re-inspection at the time specified by the Contractor will not be re-inspected, and the results of the first inspection will be final.

E.2 Specific Inspection Procedures

This is a performance-based contract that expresses the Governments requirements in the form of minimum quality standards to be met. The Contractor must determine the optimal work schedule, frequency, resource allocations and performance methods (not standards). The contractor’s performance will be evaluated based upon the Governments Quality Assurance Plan (QAP), which includes the written inspections, customer surveys, service call logs, contractor/tenant meetings, and review of reports and logs. The QAP will service as a guide for all parties involved insuring that tenants and the Government receive the service paid for and specified in this contract.

This schedule for estimating purposes based on past history of what has occurred and assist in Government inspections of the work. In some cases the frequency of required cleaning may be more or less based on use and other factors. This is for Government inspection purposes to guide the Quality Assurance Program. The frequencies do not relive the contractor of the responsibility from additional cleaning if necessary.

Payment: Payment will be made for fully acceptable work at the prices bid in the schedule of items.

Payment will be made monthly.

Deductions: In accordance with the inspection clause, payment may be made for less than fully acceptable work at a reduced price. Other exceptions are noted below:

1. Standards of clean: Daily rate deficiencies: Categories –

Restrooms (30% of daily value)

Offices (35% of daily value)

General (35% of daily value)

Front Desk/Entrances (10% of daily value)

The standards of clean deficiencies are for major daily deficiencies where the contractor is clearly not in compliance with the specifications. Contractor after being notified of deficiencies may have the opportunity to rework the areas. If the problem is reoccurring (more than three times in a month) the deductions will be made without opportunity to rework the areas and daily deductions will be made until the deficiencies are resolved.

2. 10 documented minor standards of clean deficiencies in a category in a week will result in a deduction at daily rate for that category as stated in #1 above. 30 documented minor deficiencies in a 30 day period will result in deduction equal to the full daily rate.

3. Major deficiencies are defined as the large percentage (20 %+) of the work in the category was not acceptable. The contractor clearly did not adhere to the specifications and results of

129JGP20Q0011

completing the objective/task listed. Examples are 3 of 8 bathrooms have several deficiencies Floors not mopped, towels and soap not refilled, mirrors dirty. 10 or more offices did not have trash emptied or were vacuumed. After being notified of leaves in the entry hallway the problem persists.

4. Minor Deficiencies are defined as a small % of work required but items do not meet the stand.

Examples are a couple of trash cans not emptied or overlooked. Restroom runs out of supplies.

Dust buildup between dustings.

F. DELIVERIES OR PERFORMANCE

F.1 Work Timing

The Contractor shall begin work within ____5____ calendar day after the effective date of the Notice to Proceed and shall prosecute the work as listed in the statement of work.

The Contracting Officer designates the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR). The COR 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 Contracting Officer prior to completion of the contract.

The Contracting Officer should be informed as soon as possible of any actions or inactions by the Contractor or the Government which will change the required delivery or completion times stated in the contract, and the contract will be modified accordingly. (This does not apply to individual task assignments which were issued by the COR provided they do not affect the delivery schedule or performance period stated in the contract.)

On all matters that pertain to the contract terms, the Contractor must communicate with the Contracting Officer. Whenever, in the opinion of the Contractor, the COR requests effort outside the scope of the contract, the Contractor should so advise the COR. 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.
