11. Deliverables See Attachment 1 for deliverable table.

12. Description of Services The Contractor will be responsible for satisfactorily managing and performing snow removal and ice control services at the National Weather Service office located at:

2485 South Point Road Green Bay, Wisconsin 54313-5522 Brown County

The contractor is responsible for verifying square footage and area to be maintained.

Exterior surfaces consist of an asphalt parking lot and entrance drive, a paved drive to the radar complex, a gravel access road and turnaround at the Upper Air facility, and concrete sidewalks, entryways and door areas. The Contractor must provide all labor, tools, equipment, supervision, ice melt, transportation and any other products or services necessary to keep these surfaces clear of snow and ice and in a safe, fully accessible condition for staff, visitors, delivery and emergency vehicles.

SNOW REMOVAL AND ICE CONTROL

-Plowing: The Contractor shall plow the parking lot of the main facility, including the entrance drive and all paved surfaces; the drive to the radar complex; the gravel road and turnaround around the Upper Air facility; and inside and around the dumpster area to allow trash removal vehicles access. Locations where vehicles are parked at the time work is performed are excluded. If the Contractor is requested to come and plow, the Government will request that parked vehicles be moved to plowed areas to allow thorough snow removal. Equipment shall be sized to move heavy, wet snow without damaging asphalt, gravel surfaces, curb lines, light poles or landscaping.

-Shoveling: The Contractor shall hand-shovel, blow, or power-broom down to bare pavement the sidewalks to the entryways on the east and south end of the building, the storage/generator building entryway, the shed entryway, and around all exterior doors, to include the front, back, and large sliding doors on either side of the Upper Air building. Snow shall be cleared to the full width of each sidewalk, not just a single path.

See Attachment 2 for site photo.

Plow everything shaded blue. Shovel and apply ice melt to everything shaded magenta.

-Mailbox Access: The snow shall be plowed and shoveled to allow access to the curbside mailbox by U.S.

Postal Service carriers.

-Ice Melt: Once snow has been removed from the parking lot, designated sidewalks and around all exterior doors, the Contractor shall apply ice melting granules which shall not kill grass and/or shrubs or damage concrete and asphalt surfaces. Concrete-safe deicers (such as a calcium chloride or magnesium chloride blend) shall be used on concrete sidewalks, steps and entryways; standard rock salt (sodium chloride) shall not be used on these concrete surfaces. Ice melt shall be applied during freezing rain or icing events and after shoveling.

-Traction Control: When packed snow or ice creates slippery conditions on the drives or parking aisles, the Contractor shall apply ice melt or sand/traction material immediately following plowing or freezing rain events.

-Snow Storage: Snow shall be pushed to the excess snow storage areas outlined in red on the site map or to the adjacent field. In times of heavy snow accumulation, the Contractor shall move excess snow from the parking lot to the adjacent field to ensure no loss of parking spaces. Snow shall not be stacked in a manner that blocks fire hydrants, utility meters, the dumpster area, storm drains, building doors, the mailbox, or access to the radar complex and Upper Air facility; impairs driver sightlines at drive entrances; or eliminates accessible (ADA) parking spaces.

-Snow Relocation (As Requested): When on-site snow storage areas reach capacity, the Contractor shall relocate or haul snow off-site only upon written approval of the Meteorologist-in-Charge (MIC) or designee.

-Damage Repair: The Contractor is responsible for repairing any damage to curbs, asphalt, gravel surfaces, light poles, signs, the mailbox, turf, or building structures caused by snow removal operations.

Damage shall be reported to the Meteorologist-in-Charge (MIC) or designee right away, and repairs shall be completed by June 1 following the winter season.

Local Clause Deobligation of Remaining Residual Balances

The Department of Commerce may closeout a contract utilizing RFO 4.308 procedures following the agency's determination that the contract has been physically completed and that final payment has been made to the contract. Physical completion occurs when all option provisions have expired, and the contractor has completed all required deliveries and/or services, which the Government has inspected and accepted. As part of the administrative closeout procedures, the Government intends to unilaterally deobilgate any unliquidated obligations (ULO) 90 days after each period of performance. Prior to doing so, the Contracting Officer (CO) (or Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO) will notify the contractor of the intended amount of deobligation and ask the contractor to confirm within fourteen (14) days after notification that all invoices for the completed period of performance have been submitted and processed for payment. Upon confirmation that all invoices have been submitted and processed for payment, or upon the contractor's failure to respond to the CO/ACOs notification of intent to deobligate, the CO or ACO will unilaterally deobligate the potential ULOs by reducing the funded amount to an amount equal to the contractors invoiced/paid amount for that contract/order period of performance.

NOAA Acquisition Manual 1330-52.222-70 NOAA SEXUAL ASSAULT AND SEXUAL HARASSMENT

PREVENTION AND RESPONSE POLICY (MAY 2018)

In accordance with NOAA Administrative Order (NAO) 202-1106, NOAA Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Prevention and Response Policy, it is the policy of NOAA to maintain a work environment free from sexual assault and sexual harassment. NOAA prohibits sexual assault and sexual harassment by or of any employee, supervisor, manager, contractor, vendor, affiliate, or other individual with whom NOAA employees come into contact by the virtue of their work for NOAA.

(a) Definitions.

Contractor Employees - The term “contractor employees,” as used in this solicitation and contract language, refers to employees of the prime contractor or its subcontractors, affiliates, consultants, or team members.

Sexual Assault - The term sexual assault, as used in this solicitation and contract language, means any conduct proscribed by state or federal sexual abuse laws, including, but not limited to, those defined in chapter 109A of title 18 of the U.S. Code (sexual abuse), and assaults committed both by offenders who are strangers to the victim and by offenders who are known or related by blood or marriage to the victim.

Sexual Harassment - As defined by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination that violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It includes unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal, non-verbal, or physical conduct of a sexual nature when any of the following are true:

● Submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly as a term or condition of an individual's employment;

● Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment decisions affecting such individual;

● The conduct unreasonably interferes with an individual's work performance or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment.

The main characteristics of sexual harassment are that the harasser's conduct is targeted against the recipient’s sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation, and is unwelcome to the recipient. It may include, but is not limited to: offensive jokes, slurs, epithets or name calling, undue attention, physical assaults or threats, unwelcome touching or contact, intimidation, ridicule or mockery, insults or put-downs, constant or unwelcome questions about an individual's identity, and offensive objects or pictures.

(b) Requirements.

1. It is the responsibility of the contractor to ensure that contractor employees maintain the highest degree of conduct and standards in performance of the contract. In support of this, NOAA urges its contractors to develop and enforce comprehensive company policy addressing sexual assault and sexual harassment.

2. The contractor shall include wording substantially the same as this solicitation and contract language in every subcontract so that it is binding upon each subcontractor.

3. If a contractor employee observes or is the object of sexual assault or sexual harassment, he or she is highly encouraged to report the matter, as soon as possible, to their immediate supervisor, the COR, subset of the COR (e.g. Task Manager or Assistant COR), or contracting officer (CO) if a COR is not assigned to the contract. The contract employee may also contact the NOAA Civil Rights Office to obtain guidance on reporting instances of sexual assault or sexual harassment. If deemed necessary, the contractor employee may also report such instances to local law enforcement. In the case where the incident occurs while performing at a remote location, such as at sea or in the field (at a field camp or other isolated location) where the above referenced individuals are unavailable, the contractor employee should follow the reporting procedure set forth in NAO 202-1106, Section 6.07, Reporting from Remote Locations.

4. Swift reporting allows NOAA and the contractor to take the appropriate measures to ensure that offensive behavior stops and the complainants’ needs are addressed.

5. The COR (if assigned), CO, and contractor, where applicable, will work together to ensure appropriate action is taken in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, contract terms and conditions, and the contractor’s written policy (where applicable).

6. The contractor shall provide all contractor employees assigned to perform under this contract with mandatory sexual assault and sexual harassment prevention and response training in compliance with the requirements of NAO 202-1106, Section 5, Prevention Training and Awareness, as part of their initial in-processing and on an annual basis thereafter. The initial training shall be completed within [ ] business days (30 unless a different number is inserted) of contract award or the date a contractor employee is assigned to perform under the contract, as applicable.

Evidence of initial training by name and date completed for each contractor employee, shall be submitted to the COR or contracting officer (if no COR assigned) within 10 business days of completion.

Evidence of annual training by name and date completed for each contractor employee shall be submitted to the COR or contracting officer (if no COR assigned) no later than March 1st of each calendar year of contract performance.

7. The mandatory sexual assault and sexual harassment training provided by the contractor shall include the required elements set forth by NOAA’s Workplace Violence Program Manager. A link to the website including the required elements of the training is provided at https://www.noaa.gov/organization/acquisition-grants/noaa-workplace-harassment-training-for-contractors-and-financial. The website will also provide training materials and resources to assist the contractor in conducting the training. The contractor may provide training that solely addresses the NOAA required elements or may supplement existing company sexual assault and sexual harassment training in a manner that ensures all of the elements are adequately addressed.

8. The required elements of the training and resources available to the contractor for the training may be updated by NOAA periodically. The contractor is responsible for monitoring the website and incorporating any changes to the NOAA required elements into the contractor provided training.

9. NOAA’s Workplace Violence Program Manager, COR, or CO may periodically review the contractor’s training outline to ensure all required elements are included and, if necessary, any appropriate adjustments are made to the training by the contractor.

10. Contractor employees performing on assignments in a remote location, such as at a field camp or other isolated locations, are subject to receiving the same briefing on the parameters of the order provided to NOAA employees as set forth in Section 6 of NAO 202-1106.

11. The contractor shall provide a copy of this solicitation and contract language and NAO 202-1106 to contractor employees.

(c) Sexual Assault/Sexual Harassment (SASH) Helpline.

For NOAA employees, affiliates, and contractors who have experienced sexual assault or sexual harassment, NOAA has established the NOAA Sexual Assault/Sexual Harassment (SASH) helpline. This helpline is designed to provide crisis intervention, referrals, and emotional support to those who are victims and/or survivors of sexual harassment or sexual assault within the workplace. Contractor employees may use the helpline to receive live, confidential, one-on-one support in an occurrence of sexual harassment or assault by a Federal Government employee.

All services are anonymous, secure, and available worldwide, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The NOAA SASH helpline is accessible through a variety of channels, including:

● Phone: 1-866-288-6558

● Website & Online Chat: https://www.noaasashhelpline.org/

● Mobile App: NOAA SASH Helpline (available via iOS and Android App Stores)

● Text: (202) 335-0265

(d) Confidentiality.

Any party receiving information from the filing of a complaint alleging sexual assault or sexual harassment, or while performing an investigation into such a complaint, shall keep the information confidential. “Confidentiality” means that the information shall only be shared with others who have a need to know the information to conduct their official duties.

(e) Remedies.

In addition to other remedies available to the Government, contractor employee violations of Federal requirements (e.g., law, statutes, executive orders, code, rules, regulations) applicable to sexual assault and sexual harassment and/or failure to complete the mandatory training set forth in this solicitation and contract language, may result in:

1. Requiring the contractor to remove a contractor employee or employees from the performance of the contract;

2. Requiring the contractor to terminate a subcontract;

3. Suspension of contract payments until the Contractor has taken appropriate remedial action;

4. Termination of the contract for default or cause, in accordance with the termination clause of this contract;

5. Suspension or debarment; or

6. Other appropriate action.

(End of solicitation and contract language)

NOAA Acquisition Manual 1330-52.232-71 ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION OF PAYMENT REQUESTS (FEB 2023)

The Contractor must submit payment requests electronically through the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Invoice Processing Platform System (IPP). The Contractor must use the IPP website to register, access, and submit payment requests. The IPP website address is https://www.ipp.gov.

"Payment request" means any request for contract financing payment or invoice payment to the Contractor. To be considered proper, invoices must be prepared in accordance with, and contain all elements specified in, the contract payment clause (e.g., FAR 52.212-4(g), FAR 52.232-25(a)(3), FAR 52.232-26(a)(2), FAR 52.232-27(a)(2)).

The Contractor must include the following documents as attachments to payment requests submitted through the IPP: [Contracting Officer list required invoice attachment(s); none if left blank].

If the Contractor is unable to comply with the requirement to submit payment requests through the IPP due to a threat to national security; a matter of unusual or compelling urgency; or because the political, financial, or communications infrastructure of a foreign country does not support access to the IPP, the Contractor must request an exception in writing. Contact the Contracting Officer for more information about requesting an exception.
