Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors, applies to all contracts subject to the Service Contract Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year. Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is the victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.

ALL OCCUPATIONS LISTED ABOVE RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS:

HEALTH & WELFARE: $4.41 per hour or $176.40 per week or $764.40 per month

HEALTH & WELFARE EO 13706: $4.13 per hour, or $165.20 per week, or $715.87 per month*

*This rate is to be used only when compensating employees for performance on an SCA-covered contract also covered by EO 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors. A contractor may not receive credit toward its SCA obligations for any paid sick leave provided pursuant to EO 13706.

VACATION: 2 weeks paid vacation after 1 year of service with a contractor or successor, 3 weeks after 8 years, and 4 weeks after 15 years. Length of service includes the whole span of continuous service with the present contractor or successor, wherever employed, and with the predecessor contractors in the performance of similar work at the same Federal facility. (See 29 CFR 4.173)

HOLIDAYS: A minimum of ten paid holidays per year: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. (A contractor may substitute for any of the named holidays another day off with pay in accordance with a plan communicated to the employees involved.) (See 29 CFR 4.174)

THE OCCUPATIONS WHICH HAVE NUMBERED FOOTNOTES IN PARENTHESES RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING:

1) COMPUTER EMPLOYEES: Under the SCA at section 8(b), this wage determination does not apply to any employee who individually qualifies as a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional employee as defined in 29 C.F.R. Part 541. Because most Computer System Analysts and Computer Programmers who are compensated at a rate not less than $27.63 (or on a salary or fee basis at a rate not less than $455 per week) an hour would likely qualify as exempt computer professionals, (29 C.F.R. 541.

400) wage rates may not be listed on this wage determination for all occupations within those job families. In addition, because this wage determination may not list a wage rate for some or all occupations within those job families if the survey data indicates that the prevailing wage rate for the occupation equals or exceeds $27.63 per hour conformances may be necessary for certain nonexempt employees. For example, if an individual employee is nonexempt but nevertheless performs duties within the scope of one of the Computer Systems Analyst or Computer Programmer occupations for which this wage determination does not specify an SCA wage rate, then the wage rate for that employee must be conformed in accordance with the conformance procedures described in the conformance note included on this wage determination.

Additionally, because job titles vary widely and change quickly in the computer industry, job titles are not determinative of the application of the computer professional exemption. Therefore, the exemption applies only to computer employees who satisfy the compensation requirements and whose primary duty consists of:

(1) The application of systems analysis techniques and procedures, including consulting with users, to determine hardware, software or system functional specifications;

(2) The design, development, documentation, analysis, creation, testing or modification of computer systems or programs, including prototypes, based on and related to user or system design specifications;

(3) The design, documentation, testing, creation or modification of computer programs related to machine operating systems; or

(4) A combination of the aforementioned duties, the performance of which requires the same level of skills. (29 C.F.R. 541.400).

2) AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS AND WEATHER OBSERVERS - NIGHT PAY & SUNDAY PAY: If you work at night as part of a regular tour of duty, you will earn a night differential and receive an additional 10% of basic pay for any hours worked between 6pm and 6am.

If you are a full-time employed (40 hours a week) and Sunday is part of your regularly scheduled workweek, you are paid at your rate of basic pay plus a Sunday premium of 25% of your basic rate for each hour of Sunday work which is not overtime (i.e. occasional work on Sunday outside the normal tour of duty is considered overtime work).

** HAZARDOUS PAY DIFFERENTIAL **

An 8 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position that represents a high degree of hazard when working with or in close proximity to ordnance, explosives, and incendiary materials. This includes work such as screening, blending, dying, mixing, and pressing of sensitive ordnance, explosives, and pyrotechnic compositions such as lead azide, black powder and photoflash powder.

All dry-house activities involving propellants or explosives. Demilitarization, modification, renovation, demolition, and maintenance operations on sensitive ordnance, explosives and incendiary materials. All operations involving re-grading and cleaning of artillery ranges.

A 4 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position that represents a low degree of hazard when working with, or in close proximity to ordnance, (or employees possibly adjacent to) explosives and incendiary materials which involves potential injury such as laceration of hands, face, or arms of the employee engaged in the operation, irritation of the skin, minor burns and the like;

minimal damage to immediate or adjacent work area or equipment being used. All operations involving, unloading, storage, and hauling of ordnance, explosive, and incendiary ordnance material other than small arms ammunition. These differentials are only applicable to work that has been specifically designated by the agency for ordnance, explosives, and incendiary material differential pay.

** UNIFORM ALLOWANCE **

If employees are required to wear uniforms in the performance of this contract (either by the terms of the Government contract, by the employer, by the state or local law, etc.), the cost of furnishing such uniforms and maintaining (by laundering or dry cleaning) such uniforms is an expense that may not be borne by an employee where such cost reduces the hourly rate below that required by the wage determination. The Department of Labor will accept payment in accordance with the following standards as compliance:

The contractor or subcontractor is required to furnish all employees with an adequate number of uniforms without cost or to reimburse employees for the actual cost of the uniforms. In addition, where uniform cleaning and maintenance is made the responsibility of the employee, all contractors and subcontractors subject to this wage determination shall (in the absence of a bona fide collective bargaining agreement providing for a different amount, or the furnishing of contrary affirmative proof as to the actual cost), reimburse all employees for such cleaning and maintenance at a rate of $3.35 per week (or $.67 cents per day). However, in those instances where the uniforms furnished are made of "wash and wear" materials, may be routinely washed and dried with other personal garments, and do not require any special treatment such as dry cleaning, daily washing, or commercial laundering in order to meet the cleanliness or appearance standards set by the terms of the Government contract, by the contractor, by law, or by the nature of the work, there is no requirement that employees be reimbursed for uniform maintenance costs.

** SERVICE CONTRACT ACT DIRECTORY OF OCCUPATIONS **

The duties of employees under job titles listed are those described in the "Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations", Fifth Edition (Revision 1), dated September 2015, unless otherwise indicated.

** REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL CLASSIFICATION AND WAGE RATE, Standard Form 1444 (SF-1444) **

Conformance Process:

The contracting officer shall require that any class of service employee which is not listed herein and which is to be employed under the contract (i.e., the work to be performed is not performed by any classification listed in the wage determination), be classified by the contractor so as to provide a reasonable relationship (i.e., appropriate level of skill comparison) between such unlisted classifications and the classifications listed in the wage determination (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(i)). Such conforming procedures shall be initiated by the contractor prior to the performance of contract work by such unlisted class(es) of employees (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(ii)). The Wage and Hour Division shall make a final determination of conformed classification, wage rate, and/or fringe benefits which shall be paid to all employees performing in the classification from the first day of work on which contract work is performed by them in the classification. Failure to pay such unlisted employees the compensation agreed upon by the interested parties and/or fully determined by the Wage and Hour Division retroactive to the date such class of employees commenced contract work shall be a violation of the Act and this contract. (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(v)). When multiple wage determinations are included in a contract, a separate SF-1444 should be prepared for each wage determination to which a class(es) is to be conformed.

The process for preparing a conformance request is as follows:

1) When preparing the bid, the contractor identifies the need for a conformed occupation(s) and computes a proposed rate(s).

2) After contract award, the contractor prepares a written report listing in order the proposed classification title(s), a Federal grade equivalency (FGE) for each proposed classification(s), job description(s), and rationale for proposed wage rate(s), including information regarding the agreement or disagreement of the authorized representative of the employees involved, or where there is no authorized representative, the employees themselves. This report should be submitted to the contracting officer no later than 30 days after such unlisted class(es) of employees performs any contract work.

3) The contracting officer reviews the proposed action and promptly submits a report of the action, together with the agency's recommendations and pertinent information including the position of the contractor and the employees, to the U.S.

Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division, for review (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(ii)).

4) Within 30 days of receipt, the Wage and Hour Division approves, modifies, or disapproves the action via transmittal to the agency contracting officer, or notifies the contracting officer that additional time will be required to process the request.

5) The contracting officer transmits the Wage and Hour Division's decision to the contractor.

6) Each affected employee shall be furnished by the contractor with a written copy of such determination or it shall be posted as a part of the wage determination (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(iii)).

Information required by the Regulations must be submitted on SF-1444 or bond paper.

When preparing a conformance request, the "Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations" should be used to compare job definitions to ensure that duties requested are not performed by a classification already listed in the wage determination. Remember, it is not the job title, but the required tasks that determine whether a class is included in an established wage determination.

Conformances may not be used to artificially split, combine, or subdivide classifications listed in the wage determination (See 29 CFR 4.152(c)(1)).

Section 2.1 – Pricing Methodology

Quoters are required to submit, as part of their quote, a completed copy of Section 2, “Commodity or Services Schedule.” The quantity of services to be provided by the Contractor is estimated. These estimates are not a representation to a quoter or contractor that the estimated quantities will be required or ordered, or that conditions affecting requirements will remain stable or normal. Contract pricing shall include all charges to the Government for providing the services required by this solicitation/contract.

Pursuant to FAR 17.203(b), the Government’s evaluation shall be inclusive of options. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price of all options to the total price of the base year requirement. Pursuant to FAR 17.203(d), the quoters may offer varying prices for options, depending on the quantities actually ordered and the dates when ordered.

2.2 Statement of Work

Introduction:

The Federal Bureau of Prisons, Field Acquisition Office in Grand Prairie, Texas, intends to make a single award for the provision of Solid Waste Removal Services for the Federal Detention Center (FDC), located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The contract type is an indefinite delivery / requirements contract with firm-fixed prices.

Place of Performance:

Services will be performed on-site at FDC Philadelphia, 700 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19106.

General information regarding the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) and its facilities is located at www.bop.gov.

Method of Performance:

The Contractor shall provide all equipment, labor, and expertise required for the removal and disposal of solid waste from FDC Philadelphia. The following equipment and related services shall be provided by the Contractor.

Equipment: One totally enclosed, roll on/off 32 cubic yard compactor, with a lockable loadable hopper door.

Maximum height of 48”. The compactor power unit shall operate on 480 Volts, 3 Phase Power. Minimum hydraulic packing force of 40,000 lbs. Cycle time of approximately 30 seconds. This compactor shall be located inside the secure perimeter of the institution in the rear dock. The waste will consist of paper, packaging, food waste, cans, and items similar to residential waste.

Installation: The Contractor shall provide and install compaction equipment at its own expense at the required location in the rear loading dock. All equipment furnished shall have all required safety devices identified with a control number and installed to prevent seepage and accumulation of debris underneath.

Service: The Contractor shall ensure that all solid waste is disposed of in accordance with Federal, State, and local laws and regulations. All licenses, permits, and fees related to trash removal and disposal shall be the responsibility of the Contractor. The Government estimates that the contractor shall dispose of an estimated maximum 535 tons of solid waste per year.

All equipment, supplies, compactor, and controls, to include a spare power-unit, shall be supplied by the Contractor.

In the event the waste is frozen or stuck in the compactor, the Contractor is responsible for emptying the unit or providing an empty unit at no additional cost to the institution.

When spills occur as a result of equipment failure, the Contractor shall be responsible for all spills and related clean-up cost. The Contractor shall ensure compactor locations are clean prior to removing the container from the area.

The Contractor shall provide copies of all receipts related to the disposal of solid waste. The receipt must include the weight of the waste dumped. The receipts shall be addressed to the Facility Manager at FDC Philadelphia, PHL/Facilities~@bop.gov and shall be sent at least once per month, not later than the fifth working day of the month.

Maintenance: All required repairs to the supplied equipment shall be the responsibility of the Contractor. Response times for the repairs shall be Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., within four (4) hours of notification by the Facility Manager. Weekend and holiday response time will be six (6) hours.

Performance Schedule:

The Contractor shall pull and exchange the compactor an estimated two times per week. A schedule of days will be mutually agreed upon by the Contractor and Facilities Manager after contract award. The compactor will be removed from the institution no later than 5:00 a.m., emptied, cleaned, and returned to the institution no later than 6:30 a.m. in such a way as to ensure continuous availability to the institution. At no time shall FDC Philadelphia be without a compactor longer than the time necessary to remove full, empty, clean, and return empty detailed above.

Due to security requirements, the compactor shall be exchanged only during the hours above and will undergo special security procedures. The above schedule is subject to change based on the needs of the FDC Philadelphia.

Unless emergency situations dictate otherwise, a notice of 24 hours will be given if additional pulls are required.

Any additional pulls requested by FDC Philadelphia in excess of the estimated maximum identified in the Section 2, Schedule of Services, shall be invoiced at the applicable contract rate identified in the Schedule of Services.

If a scheduled pull falls on a federal holiday, the pull shall be accomplished by the Contractor on the following business day.

Should the compactor be unable to be pulled successfully due to security reasons arising from action of FDC Philadelphia staff, the contractor will be paid the applicable trip charge as identified in the Schedule of Services.

Title to Equipment:

Title of the compactor will remain with the Contractor. All equipment and components of the compactor are the sole property of the Contractor.

In the event of termination of this contract, the Contractor shall properly remove all of its property at its own expense. Upon the Contractor’s failure to do so, the Bureau of Prisons shall remove and store such property and charge the Contractor for any expenses incurred for such removal and storage.

Risk of Loss:

The Contractor assumes full risk of and responsibility for any loss, destruction or damage occurring to the trash removal equipment, components or containers, except such loss or damage as may be attributed to FDC Philadelphia by reason of negligence of its employees while acting within the scope of their employment.

Space Rental and Utilities:

The Contractor shall not be required to pay for the space occupied hereunder when in use on the premises of FDC Philadelphia. The Contractor shall not be required to pay the cost of any utilities for the operation of the compactor.

Institution Security:
