2.2 Statement of Work - Advanced Occupational Training HVAC

Subject:

The Federal Bureau of Prisons intends to make a single award to an accredited post-secondary institution, voca-tional training or industry-based school for the provision of instruction in Heating, Ventilation, Air- Conditioning, and Refrigeration (HVAC) resulting in an Associate’s Degree of Science or an Associate’s De-gree of Applied Science to inmates at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Danbury. Successful comple-tion of the training program must qualify inmates for at least entry-level employment in a specified field upon release.

Background:

The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) was established in 1930 to provide more progressive and humane care for Federal inmates, to professionalize the prison service, and to ensure consistent and centralized administration.

The Federal prison system is a nationwide system of prisons and detention facilities for the incarceration of per-sons who have been sentenced to imprisonment for federal crimes and the detention of persons awaiting trial in federal court.

Place of Performance:

Occupational training instruction will be performed in the Education Department (or others area identified by the Supervisor of Education) located at:

FCI Danbury 33 ½ Pembroke Station Route 37 Danbury, Connecticut 06811

Schedule of Performance:

The courses shall be instructed utilizing eight one (1) hour sessions of classroom instruction per day, with an es-timated number of 40 sessions per week. Typically, the contractor will provide services Monday through Fri-day, between 7:30 am and 3:30 pm, excluding Federal Holidays. The schedule is subject to be adjusted to meet program requirements and the needs of the institution. There will be an estimated maximum of 20 inmates in the class per performance year. Any breaks in service, including lunch breaks, will be unpaid. A mutually agreed upon schedule will be determined after contract award. Estimated annual sessions are approximately 2,000 sessions per 12-month period. The sessions are on a requirements basis.

Due to the nature of the correctional setting, sessions may be delayed and/or cancelled with little or no notice.

Such delays may include but are not limited to inclement weather and institution emergencies. When the institu-tion requires the contractor to be on site but the contractor is unable to perform because of such delays, the con-tractor will be paid for one (1) session. Normally, any remaining sessions for that day will be suspended, and the contractor will be free to leave and will not be paid for the remaining unperformed sessions.

15B20318Q00000038/0001 Page 5 of 34

In the event of any instructor’s absence, the contractor shall provide replacement coverage. If the contractor fails to provide coverage, the Government may seek contractual remedy.

Supplies and Equipment:

The contractor will provide the following supplies, equipment, and curriculum materials: (1) textbooks neces-sary for course instruction; (2) laptops for instructor use to deliver course content should the instructor deem it necessary. Instructors will not have access to government computers or computer systems. Flash drives, USB device drives, air cards, or other peripheral equipment will not be allowed in the institution. A PowerPoint or other presentation on the hard drive of a laptop may be permitted with advanced notice and approval. (3) tools, equipment, and supplies deemed necessary for course instruction by the awardee that are not provided by the in-stitution.

The contractor will make recommendations to the Supervisor of Education pertaining to the selection and pur-chase of additional supplies and equipment.

The institution will provide the following supplies, equipment, and curriculum materials: classroom, audio visu-al equipment including projector, DVD/VCR player, ELMO overhead document reader, pencils and paper for students, other equipment, tools, and supplies outlined in the approved proposal subject to actual funding re-ceived. Consultation will be made with the awardee prior to purchase of tools and equipment to ensure, to the extent possible, compatibility with the course of instruction.

Method of Performance:

The contractor will provide instruction for Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning, (HVAC) A.A.S. Refrigera-tion in accordance with Bureau of Prisons Program Statement 5353.01, Occupational Education Programs, and Bureau of Prisons Program Statement 5300.21, Education, Training and Leisure Time Program Standards.

Twenty - forty percent (20 – 40 %) of the curriculum’s competencies must be hands-on replication of the actual work environment. Application of hands-on work must be occupational in nature. An institution live work project may be utilized to demonstrate or apply hands-on competencies. Electronic or computer-based simula-tion does not satisfy the hands-on or live work requirement.

The Supervisor of Education must approve live work projects.

Marketable programs shall afford inmates the opportunity to gain in demand skills in a specific occupation, in-dustry, or trade. The marketable program must qualify inmate graduates for at least an entry-level position in HVAC. As a precondition of the proposal for the contract, the contractor shall specify in writing to the Super-visor of Education the position(s) of employment for which inmate graduates will be eligible to apply.

Scope of Performance:

The Supervisor of Education shall determine the minimum and maximum number of enrollments (estimated 20 students maximum per performance year). Instructors placed on site by the contractor are responsible for the maintenance of transcripts, student attendance records, statistics, and certification records.

The contractor will provide a written curriculum which establishes measurable behavioral objectives and pro-cedures. The curriculum must include clear criteria which establish minimum expectations for program comple-tion, provisions for the assessment of student progress, must identify the hands-on competencies and must re-quire the students to demonstrate them. In addition to core classes needed to attain an Associate in Science (A.S.) or Associate in Applied Science degree (A.A.S.), the curriculum must also include a course on resume development.

The contractor shall assist in the recruitment of employers affiliated with the identified occupation to participate in the institution’s mock job fair.

Inmate/Classroom Management:

Provisions of service under this contract will require instructors placed on site to have frequent and unsuper-vised contact with inmates. Instructors will not be responsible for the management of inmates other than to en-sure those inmates involved in activities within the contractor’s scope of work shall abide by all rules to ensure

15B20318Q00000038/0001 Page 6 of 34 their safety and well-being. Instructors will report any infraction of institutional rules and regulations by in-mates to the appropriate institutional staff. Inmates for this program will be pre-selected by the Supervisor of Education.

Education Background and Qualifications:

The contractor shall not be a self-employed individual or individual employed by a post-secondary institution.

The contract must be between FCI Danbury and a post-secondary institution, vocational training school or in-dustry-based school.

The occupational education program must fall under the provider’s umbrella of accreditation and lead to trans-ferrable credits resulting in an Associate’s Degree of Science (A.S.) or Associate’s Degree of Applied Science (A.A.S.). Providers must be accredited by a recognized accrediting agency. If required for employment, certific-ation tests from outside organizations may be administered to individual inmates upon completion of a specific occupational education program. However, the individual skill competency certification will not replace the training program’s overall accreditation.

The occupational education program must lead to an A. S. or A. A.S. qualifying inmates for at least an entry-level position of employment. Credits earned from the A.S. or A.A.S. must be transferrable to a four-year col-lege.

Four-year degree programs and programs in liberal arts/general studies are not authorized, although limited and specific courses of a liberal arts/general studies nature may be permitted if directly related to preparation for a specific occupation or vocation.

Institutional Security:

Instructors placed on site by the contractor shall adhere to all institution regulations prescribed by the institution for the safety, custody, and conduct of inmates. The contractor will be required to sign in and out of the institu-tion for accountability purposes. A badge will be issued and worn at all times for proper identification.

Instructors will attend an orientation program for volunteers and contractors prior to the start of classes; all in-structors will attend annual refresher training for volunteers and contractors. Instructors will be paid for time spent in required training. Instructors placed on site by the contractor shall undergo a urinalysis test (for the de-tection of marijuana and other drug usage). Instructors who test positive will be excluded from the institution, and the contractor shall provide acceptable replacement, subject to the same security requirements.

Attire

The contractor is expected to wear professional clothing while on duty. The attire worn shall be appropriate for the correctional environment in which the contract employee will be performing.

(End of clause)

52.218-000 CONTINUING CONTRACT PERFORMANCE DURING A PANDEMIC INFLUENZA OR OTHER NATIONAL EMERGENCY (May 2008)

During a Pandemic or other emergency we understand that our contractor workforce will experience the same high levels of absentee-ism as our federal employees. Although the Excusable Delays and Termination for Default clauses used in Government contracts list epidemics and quarantine restrictions among the reasons to excuse delays in contract performance, we expect our contractors to make a reasonable effort to keep performance at an acceptable level during emergency periods.

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has provided guidance to federal managers and employees on the kinds of actions to be taken to ensure the continuity of operations during emergency periods. This guidance is also applicable to our contract workforce.

Contractors are expected to have reasonable policies in place for continuing work performance, particularly those performing mission critical services, during a pandemic influenza or other emergency situation.

The types of actions a federal contractor should reasonably take to help ensure performance are:

• Encourage employees to get inoculations or follow other preventive measures as advised by the public health service.

• Cross-train workers as backup for all positions performing critical services. This is particularly important for work such as guard services where telework is not an option.

• Implement telework to the greatest extent possible in the workgroup so systems are in place to support suc-cessful remote work in an emergency.

• Communicate expectations to all employees regarding their roles and responsibilities in relation to remote work in the event of a pandemic health crisis or other emergency.

• Establish communication processes to notify employees of activation of this plan.

• Integrate pandemic health crisis response expectations into telework agreements.

• With the employee, assess requirements for working at home (supplies and equipment needed for an extended telework period). Security concerns should be considered in making equipment choices; agencies or contract-ors may wish to avoid use of employees' personal computers and provide them with PCs or laptops as appropri-ate.

15B20318Q00000038/0001 Page 9 of 34

• Determine how all employees who may telework will communicate with one another and with management to accomplish work.

• Practice telework regularly to ensure effectiveness.

• Make it clear that in emergency situations, employees must perform all duties assigned by management, even if they are outside usual or customary duties.

• Identify how time and attendance will be maintained.

It is the contractor's responsibility to advise the Government Contracting Officer if they anticipate not being able to perform and to work with the Department to fill gaps as necessary. This means direct communication with the Contracting Officer or in his/her ab-sence, another responsible person in the contracting office via telephone or email messages acknowledging the contractor's notifica-tion. The incumbent contractor is responsible for assisting the Department in estimating the adverse impacts of nonperformance and to work diligently with the Department to develop a strategy for maintaining the continuity of operations.

The Department does reserve the right in such emergency situations to use Federal employees, employees of other agencies, contract support from other existing contractors, or to enter into new contracts for critical support services. Any new contracting efforts would be acquired following the guidance in the Office of federal Procurement Policy issuance "Emergency Acquisitions", May, 2007 and Subpart 18.2. Emergency Acquisition Flexibilities, of the Federal Acquisition Regulations.

[End of Clause]

2852.223-70 Unsafe Conditions Due to the Presence of Hazardous Material (June 1996)

(a) "Unsafe condition" as used in this clause means the actual or potential exposure of contractor or Government employees to a haz-ardous material as defined in Federal Standard No. 313, and any revisions thereto during the term of this contract, or any other materi-al or working condition designated by the Contracting Officer's Technical Representative (COTR) as potentially hazardous and requir-ing safety controls.

(b) The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is responsible for issuing and administering regulations that require contractors to apprise its employees of all hazards to which they may be exposed in the course of their employment; proper conditions and precautions for safe use and exposure; and related symptoms and emergency treatment in the event of exposure.

(c) Prior to commencement of work, contractors are required to inspect for and report to the contracting officer or designee the pres-ence of, or suspected presence of, any unsafe condition including asbestos or other hazardous materials or working conditions in areas in which they will be working.

(d) If during the performance of the work under this contract, the contractor or any of its employees, or subcontractor employees, dis-covers the existence of an unsafe condition, the contractor shall immediately notify the contracting officer, or designee, (with written notice provided not later than three (3) working days thereafter) of the existence of an unsafe condition. Such notice shall include the contractor's recommendations for the protection and the safety of Government, contractor and subcontractor personnel and property that may be exposed to the unsafe condition.

(e) When the Government receives notice of an unsafe condition from the contractor, the parties will agree on a course of action to mitigate the effects of that condition and, if necessary, the contract will be amended. Failure to agree on a course of action will consti-tute a dispute under the Disputes clause of this contract.

(f) Nothing contained in this clause shall relieve the contractor or subcontractors from complying with applicable Federal, State, and local laws, codes, ordinances and regulations (including the obtaining of licenses and permits) in connection with hazardous material including but not limited to the use, disturbance, or disposal of such material.

(End of Clause)

52.21-603-70 Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) (June 2012)

52.24-403-70 Notice of Contractor Personnel Security Requirements (OCT 2005)

Compliance with Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 (HSPD-12) and Federal Information Processing Standard Publication 201 (FIPS 201) 1 entitled "Personal Identification Verification (PIV) for Federal Employees and Contractors," Phase I.

1. Long-Term Contractor Personnel:

In order to be compliant with HSPD-12/PIV I, the following investigative requirements must be met for each new long-term 2 con-tractor employee whose background investigation (BI) process begins on or after October 27, 2005:

a. Contractor Personnel must present two forms of identification in original form prior to badge issuance (acceptable documents are listed in Form I-9, OMB No. 1615-0047, "Employment Eligibility Verification," and at least one document must be a valid State or Federal government-issued picture ID);

b. Contractor Personnel must appear in person at least once before a DOJ official who is responsible for checking the identification documents. This identity proofing must be completed sometime during the clearance process but prior to badge issuance and must be documented by the DOJ official;

c. Contractor Personnel must undergo a BI commensurate with the designated risk level associated with the duties of each position.

Outlined below are the minimum BI requirements for each risk level:

• High Risk - Background Investigation (5 year scope)

• Moderate Risk - Limited Background Investigation (LBI) or Minimum Background Investigation (MBI)

• Low Risk - National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI) investigation

d. The pre-appointment BI waiver requirements for all position sensitivity levels are a:

1) Favorable review of the security questionnaire form;

2) Favorable fingerprint results;

3) Favorable credit report, if required;3

4) Waiver request memorandum, including both the Office of Personnel Management schedule date and position sensitivity/risk level;

and

5) Favorable review of the National Agency Check (NAC) 4 portion of the applicable BI that is determined by position sensitivity/risk level.

A badge may be issued following approval of the above waiver requirements.

If the NAC is not received within five days of OPM's scheduling date, the badge can be issued based on a favorable review of the Se-curity Questionnaire and the Federal Bureau of Investigation Criminal History Check (i.e., fingerprint check results).

e. Badge re-validation will occur once the investigation is completed and favorably adjudicated. If the BI results so justify, badges is-sued under these procedures will be suspended or revoked.

2. Short-Term Contractor Personnel:

It is the policy of the DOJ that short-term contractors having access to DOJ information systems and/or DOJ facilities or space for six months or fewer are subject to the identity proofing requirements listed in items 1a. and 1b. above. The pre-appointment waiver re-quirements for short-term contractors are:

a. Favorable review of the security questionnaire form;

b. Favorable fingerprint results;

c. Favorable credit report, if required;5 and

d. Waiver request memorandum indicating both the position sensitivity/risk level and the duration of the appointment. The commen-surate BI does not need to be initiated.

A badge may be issued following approval of the above waiver requirements and the badge will expire six months from the date of is-suance. This process can only be used once for a short-term contractor in a twelve month period. This will ensure that any consecutive short-term appointments are subject to the full PIV-I identity proofing process.

For example, if a contractor employee requires daily access for a three or four-week period, this contractor would be cleared according to the above short-term requirements. However, if a second request is submitted for the same contractor employee within a twelve-month period for the purpose of extending the initial contract or for employment under a totally different contract for another three or four-week period, this contractor would now be considered "long-term" and must be cleared according to the long-term requirements as stated in this interim policy.

3. Intermittent Contractors:

An exception to the above-mentioned short-term requirements would be intermittent contractors.

a. For purposes of this policy, "intermittent" is defined as those contractor employees needing access to DOJ information systems and/ or DOJ facilities or space for a maximum of one day per week, regardless of the duration of the required intermittent access. For ex-ample, the water delivery contractor that delivers water one time each week and is working on a one-year contract.

b. Contractors requiring intermittent access should follow the Department's escort policy. Please reference the August 11, 2004, and

15B20318Q00000038/0001 Page 11 of 34

January 29, 2001, Department Security Officer policy memoranda that conveys the requirements for contractor facility escorted ac-cess.

c. Due to extenuating circumstances, if a component requests unescorted access or DOJ IT system access for an intermittent contract-or, the same pre-employment background investigation waiver requirements that apply to short-term contractors are required.

d. If an intermittent contractor is approved for unescorted access, the contractor will only be issued a daily badge. The daily badge will be issued upon entrance into a DOJ facility or space and must be returned upon exiting the same facility or space.

e. If an intermittent contractor is approved for unescorted access, the approval will not exceed one year. If the intermittent contractor requires unescorted access beyond one year, the contractor will need to be re-approved each year.

4. An individual transferring from another department or agency shall not be re-adjudicated provided the individual has a current (within the last five years), favorably adjudicated BI meeting HSPD-12 and DOJ's BI requirements.

5. The DOJ's current escorted contractor policy remains unchanged by this acquisition notice.

Notes:

1. FIPS 201 is available at: www.csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips201/FIPS-201-022505.pdf

2. Under HSPD-12, long-term contractors are contractors having access to DOJ information systems and/or DOJ facilities or space for six months or longer. The PIV-I identity proofing process, including initiation and adjudication of the required background investiga-tion, is required for all new long-term contractors regardless of whether it is the current practice to issue a badge. The second phase of HSPD-12 implementation (PIV-II) requires badge issuance to all affected long-term contractors.

3. For contractors in position sensitivity/risk levels above level 1, a favorable review of a credit check is required as part of the pre-appointment waiver package.

4. In order to avoid a delay in the hiring process, components should request an Advance NAC Report when initiating investigations to OPM. Per OPM ' s instructions, to obtain an Advance NAC Report, a Code " 3" must be placed in block " B " of the " Agency Use Only " section of the investigative form. This report is available for all case types.

5.For contractors in position sensitivity/risk levels above level 1, a favorable review of a credit check is required as part of the pre-appointment waiver package.
