I. Failure to maintain staffing levels

The contractor shall have a maximum staff vacancy rate not exceeding 4% of the total number of staff positions. The contractor shall complete and submit the vacancy information section in the attached Wage Comparability tool by 10th day of every month.

Beginning the fourth month of center operations, if the contractor’s vacancy rate exceeds 4% (as reported in the monthly Wage Comparability Tool submitted during the following month), the contractor shall reduce its invoiced price by an amount equal to the sum of the monthly salary(ies) for all vacant positions over the permitted 4%. The positions subject to the reduction shall be the oldest vacancies, as determined by the contractor’s vacancy section of the Wage Comparability tool. If any of the vacancies subject to the reduction occurred (were separated) during the month for which the report applies, the position will not be subject to the reduction, but shall be used in the contractor’s calculation of total vacancies and total percentage of vacancies.

Please see table below detailing 4% vacancy allowance. The value of the salary for a vacant position shall be determined by the value listed for that position in attachment J.28. Upon the first day of the first month of center operations, the contractor shall submit to the Contracting Officer and the Contracting Officer’s Representative, an updated J.28 that includes employee numbers for hired staff. G&A, Management fee, and any other profit shall not be included in the reduction. Reductions in pricing must be shown in the contractor’s invoice. See attached invoice template attachment J.20.

At the end of each contract year, the Government will adjust via modification (as appropriate), the contract price for the contract year, to reflect the total price paid during the contract period, including reductions for vacancies described above.

The contractor acknowledges that this reduction in price does not absolve the contractor from responsibility to perform the contract with a vacancy rate not exceeding 4%.

Total Number of Staff Positions

Total Number of Vacancies Permitted within the 4%

(rounded up to the nearest whole number)

Example #1: If the total number of staff positions under the contract is 100, the contractor is permitted to have four vacancies. If the contractor reports that the total number of vacant positions on was 10, then the contractor shall reduce its invoice for the six positions over the contractually permitted four. The six positions whose salary is subject to the reduction are the six oldest vacancies according to the report. If one of the six

SOLICITATION NUMBER 1605JE-22-R-00023 FFP RFP Bamberg Job Corps Center OA/CTS Small Business Set-Aside July 2022 vacancies became vacant during the month for which the report is submitted, then the contractor will only have to subject the five oldest vacant positions to the reduction.

Example #2: If the total number of staff positions is 260, the contractor is permitted to have 11 vacancies. If the contractor reports during its monthly Wage Comparability tool submission that the number of vacant positions is 30, the contractor shall compensate DOL for the 19 vacant positions over its contractually permitted 11 vacancies. If five of the 19 positions over the 4% became vacant during the month for which the report is submitted, then the contractor will be subject to a reduction for the 14 positions oldest positions.

The contractor shall complete the vacancy information section in the attached Wage Comparability Tool/2110S (Attachment J-27) by the 10th day of every month.

F.6 PERFORMANCE MEASURES

The Contractor’s obligations regarding performance outcomes are set out in the PRH. Generally, the Government will measure performance through the program’s performance management system which is comprised of four Outcome Measurement System (OMS) Report Cards. The four Report Cards are Outreach and Admissions (OA) Report Card OAOMS; Center Report Card Center OMS; Career Transition Services (CTS) Report Card (POMS); and Career Technical Training (CTT) Report Card CTT. Each report is designed to reflect results in a specific area of student services and represents a discrete pool of students.

To add to the quantitative components of the performance system, there are additional reports that evaluate center quality, providing an additional view of the program’s performance. These reports are the Student Satisfaction Survey (SSS); Weekly, Monthly and Cumulative On-Board Strength Reports; the Monthly Center Summary Report (MPO 35); and the Contractor Performance Assessment Report (CPAR).

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 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.

SOLICITATION NUMBER 1605JE-22-R-00023 FFP RFP Bamberg Job Corps Center OA/CTS Small Business Set-Aside July 2022

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.

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). Does not apply to incumbent contractor.

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 unit 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

SOLICITATION NUMBER 1605JE-22-R-00023 FFP RFP Bamberg Job Corps Center OA/CTS Small Business Set-Aside July 2022

Management Fee (1%) = $9,460

At the end of each contract period, 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 XX06 (CRA), XX07 (Equipment), and XX08 (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 of base period), 02 (2nd year of base period), 03 (option period one), 04 (option period two), 05 (option period three), 06 (option to extend services);

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. CRA service orders may include G&A and fee/profit. Equipment and CTST service orders shall not include G&A and fee/profit.

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:

G.13 FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH SIGNIFICANT INCIDENT REPORTING AND

MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS

The contractor understands and agrees that the requirements to timely report and manage significant incidents as set forth in the PRH are material requirements of this contract.
