SECTION B – SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICE

B.1 BACKGROUND

The U.S. Department of Labor, Job Corps, has a requirement for contingency operator contracts for all Job Corps Centers, to include Outreach and Admissions and Career Transition Services.

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 611519. The small business size standard is $41.5M.

This requirement is for the establishment of multiple Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts, under which Fixed-Price Task Orders will be placed in the event Job Corps requires a short-term contingency operator for any center located within the United States or its territories.

Through Fixed-Price Task Orders, Contractors shall operate the specified Job Corps Center, which will also include Outreach and Admissions and Career Transition Services. Center-specific requirements will be provided on individual Task Order Requests for Quotations (RFQs).

B.2 ORDERING

The purpose of this contract is to provide quick response task orders to assume operations at a Job Corps Center whenever the Government deems it necessary. Therefore, Requests for Quotations (RFQs) for task orders may be issued with less than one month’s notice of when phase-in for operation of that Center is required. For example, if the Department of Labor terminates an existing Job Corps center operations contract for default, the emphasis in the Government’s evaluation may be assuming all operations at that center within a very short period of time to ensure minimal disruption of services to the Job Corps students.

It is understood and agreed upon, that if a task order awardee operates a Center for which operations are being procured through these contingency contracts, the incumbent operator is ineligible for award of the task order.

If a contractor submits a proposal in response to an RFQ, the pricing identified in the contractor’s IDIQ contract pricing schedule (Section B.4 below) will serve as ceiling prices, therefore the prices of individual task order line items shall not exceed the corresponding contract line item ceiling in the contractor’s IDIQ contract.

The parties agree that the Government will fulfill its obligation to order the minimum guarantee for this contract by paying the Contractor $3,500.00 at the end of the base ordering period; unless the Government places a task order before then which would otherwise fulfill the Government’s obligation under this entire contract, to include any option periods that may be exercised by the Government.

B.3 MULTIPLE AWARD LIMITATIONS

In the interest of promoting efficiency and allowing the Government the ability to award contingency task orders on very short suspense timeframes, the Government will initially award no more than eight (8) total IDIQ contracts resulting from this solicitation. However, the Government reserves the right to onboard additional contractors at a later date in accordance with the contractor on-ramping procedures in Section G.21.

B.4 PRICING SCHEDULE

Offerors shall propose ceiling pricing for all CLINs listed in the schedule (except NTE’s), including the Phase-In CLINs. NTE amounts for CRA, Equipment, and CTST, (CLINs4001, 4002, and 4003) will be provided with the Individual Task Order RFQs as they are center specific.

The Government will provide the specific line items for each Task Order issued against this IDIQ contract. Resulting Task Orders will include Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) that are:

(1) Fixed Price, or (2) Not-to-Exceed (NTE).

Pricing for Task Orders shall include the 1% Management Fee, which is applied to the Center Operations CLINs only.

Outreach and Admissions unit prices correspond with the NEAP plan as of January 7, 2021 and the OA goals currently assigned to each Job Corps Center. If during the performance period of this contract, a center’s total OA goal increases by greater than 20% of the January 7, 2021 goal, an adjustment to the ceilings for OA associated CLINs (XX06, XX10, XX14, XX18, XX22, XX26, XX30, and XX34) will be permitted.

SECTION C. STATEMENT OF WORK

INTRODUCTION

This Statement of Work sets forth the contract performance requirements for the operation and management of a Job Corps Center. The Statement of Work sets forth performance requirements regarding Center Operations, Outreach and Admissions services as well as Post-Center Career Transition Services.

DOL routinely updates and amends the PRH. The Contractor shall be responsible for complying with all updates and amendments. The PRH is available at:

https://prh.jobcorps.gov/Pages/Home.aspx

In the event of any direct and irreconcilable conflict between a provision in the PRH and another term of this Contract regarding Job Corps operation and reporting requirements, the contract controls.

PRH, Chapter 5.7, R.1, R.2 and R.3 are not applicable to FP contracts and are not contract requirements. Chapter 5.7, Appendix 502 and Appendix 503 are not applicable to FP type contracts and are not requirements, this includes all associated Exhibits.

C. Objective

The Contractor shall provide material, services, and all necessary personnel to operate a Job Corps Center (Center).

G.5 REMEDIES FOR CONTRACTOR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH SEPARATION

AND LEAVE REQUIREMENTS

The contractor agrees to comply with the requirements in this Contract and the PRH regarding the separation of students from the program and the authorization and recording of student leave.

A violation of those requirements results in inaccurate enrollment numbers, which in turn leads to inflated payments to the Contractor and other costs to the Government, some of which are difficult-to-quantify opportunity costs.

The Contractor agrees that as a remedy for such violations, the Contractor will pay the Government an amount calculated by multiplying the total number of Invalid Days by fifteen percent (15%) of the Student per Day Amount. The number of Invalid Days is the number of calendar days a student was improperly listed as enrolled (in the reported on-board strength) or granted invalid leave. If multiple students were improperly listed or granted invalid leave, the mailto:OCFOinvoiceinquiries@dol.gov mailto:OCFOinvoiceinquiries@dol.gov number of Invalid Days is the sum of such days for each student. The Student per Day Amount is calculated as set forth in the Table below.

This table will be calculated on an individual Task Order basis.

Please note that this clause is also applicable to circumstances where the contractor fails to properly separate a student from the program as a result of student misconduct.

G.6 REMEDIES FOR CONTRACTOR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH OTHER

ENROLLMENT REQUIREMENTS

The contractor agrees to comply with the requirements for eligible enrollments. The contractor agrees that it will refund the Government for costs associated with an ineligible enrollment, which may include the cost to the Government for each day a student is improperly enrolled in the program (counted in the reported OBS). The contractor agrees further that the refundable cost to the Government for each day a student was improperly present in the program (counted in the reported on-board strength), is 15% of the Student Per Day Price (see Section G.5). This “Per Day Price” is then multiplied by the total number of days that the ineligible student was in the program.

If the annual student price is not stated for any given year, it shall be computed by dividing the total contract amount for the year by the total planned average OBS.

G.7 REMEDIES FOR CONTRACTOR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH PLACEMENT

REQUIREMENTS

As a remedy for the violation of the requirements of the Contract regarding CTS as identified in the PRH, the contractor agrees to pay the government the costs associated with placements found to be invalid, and shall be required to reimburse the Government in the amount of $750 per invalid placement.

G.8 REMEDIES FOR MISREPORTED ACADEMIC AND CAREER TECHNICAL

TRAINING (CTT) CREDITS

As a remedy for the violation of the requirements of the Contract regarding Academic (High School Equivalency and High School Diploma, HSE/HSD) or CTT Completion as identified in the PRH, the contractor agrees to pay the government $200 for each misreported HSE/HSD, $500 for each misreported CTT Completion and $1,200 for each combination.

G.9 PRICE ADJUSTMENT FOR LESS-THAN-100% ON BOARD STRENGTH

The total contract value at the time of award will be based on Section B.2, Pricing Schedule, which is based on attaining and maintaining an average monthly OBS of 100% of the planned OBS. The Contract requires the Contractor to undertake every effort necessary to attain and/or maintain 100% average monthly OBS.

(The contractor will be permitted a grace period of three (3) months, for which the contractor can bill at the 100% OBS price, regardless of the actual average OBS for the month billed. The three month period shall begin during the first full month of center operation).

After the three month grace period, should the average monthly OBS level be less than 100% in any month, the Contractor’s price for the month will be adjusted downward based on the actual average OBS during that month. “Average OBS” means the OBS as established for the (CIS- >Accountability->Reports->Center Reports->Center On Board Strength Report->Select Reporting Period).

The reduction of the price pursuant to this clause is in addition to, and does not constitute a waiver by the Government of, other remedies available under the contract for the contractor’s failure to achieve 100% OBS.

The adjusted monthly price for less than 100% OBS shall computed based on the following formula:

Adjusted Monthly Price = CLIN XX02 Monthly Price x Adjustment Percentage Adjustment Percentage = 100 – [(100 – “Average OBS”) / 100 x 15]

The following hypothetical examples are provided solely for the purpose of illustrating how the formula operates. Suppose that for the base period of the contract, the CLIN 0002 Ceiling Price per month is $1 million. In the fifth month of contract performance, the Average OBS for the Center was reported to be 64%. In that case, the Adjusted Monthly Price for that month, which is the amount that the Contractor would be entitled to receive is $955,460, calculated as follows:

Adjustment Percentage = 100 – [(100 – “Average OBS”) / 100 x 15]

100 – [(100 – 64) / 100 x 15] 100 – [(36 / 100 x 15] 100 – 5.4%

Adjusted Monthly price = $1,000,000 x 94.6%

$946,000

Management Fee (1%) = $9,460

TOTAL AMOUNT = $955,460

At the end of each contract period of performance, the Government will adjust via modification, the contract value for that period, to reflect the total price paid during the contract period.

G.10 SERVICE ORDERS

The Government will place service orders for services and equipment under CLINS 6001 (CRA), 6002 (Equipment), and 6003 (CTST). Service orders will be placed via modification to the contract and only the contracting officer is authorized to issue such service orders via modification. Service orders shall be fixed price, unless otherwise specified by the contracting officer. Each service order will have its own number in accordance with the following number system:

a) Contract year is a two-digit number: 01 (1st year), 02 (2nd year), 03 (3rd year), 04 (4th year), 05 (5th year);

b) Sequential Order Number is a four-digit sequential counter of the number of orders in that contract year; and,

c) Order Type is the order designation – CRA, EQU (Equipment) or CTST.

d) For CRA orders, the deficiency ID#.

For example, the first service order placed during the first year of base period for a CRA project would be numbered 01-0001-CRA-12345.

When a service order is placed, it will have a specified fixed price or estimated amount if the contracting officer determines that the service order must be cost reimbursement because the price cannot reasonably be determined prior to award.

G.11 FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH CONTRACT TERMS

The contractor shall be held liable for failure to comply with the terms of this contract, including any fraudulent activity resulting from the actions of the contractor or contract staff in accordance with the following clauses, incorporated by reference:
