I.2 52.204-10 REPORTING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND FIRST-TIER
SUBCONTRACT AWARDS (JUN 2020)
(a) Definitions. As used in this clause:
Executive means officers, managing partners, or any other employees in management positions.
First-tier subcontract means a subcontract awarded directly by the Contractor for the purpose of acquiring supplies or services (including construction) for performance of a prime contract. It does not include the Contractor’s supplier agreements with vendors, such as long-term arrangements for materials or supplies that benefit multiple contracts and/or the costs of which are normally applied to a Contractor’s general and administrative expenses or indirect costs.
Month of award means the month in which a contract is signed by the Contracting Officer or the month in which a first-tier subcontract is signed by the Contractor.
Total compensation means the cash and noncash dollar value earned by the executive during the Contractor’s preceding fiscal year and includes the following (for more information see 17
CFR 229.402(c)(2)):
(1) Salary and bonus.
(2) Awards of stock, stock options, and stock appreciation rights. Use the dollar amount recognized for financial statement reporting purposes with respect to the fiscal year in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification
(FASB ASC) 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation.
(3) Earnings for services under non-equity incentive plans. This does not include group life, health, hospitalization or medical reimbursement plans that do not discriminate in favor of executives, and are available generally to all salaried employees.
(4) Change in pension value. This is the change in present value of defined benefit and actuarial pension plans.
(5) Above-market earnings on deferred compensation which is not tax-qualified.
(6) Other compensation, if the aggregate value of all such other compensation (e.g., severance, termination payments, value of life insurance paid on behalf of the employee, perquisites or property) for the executive exceeds $10,000.
(b) Section 2(d)(2) of the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006
(Pub. L. 109-282), as amended by section 6202 of the Government Funding Transparency Act of
2008 (Pub. L. 110-252), requires the Contractor to report information on subcontract awards.
The law requires all reported information be made public, therefore, the Contractor is responsible for notifying its subcontractors that the required information will be made public.
(c) Nothing in this clause requires the disclosure of classified information
(d) (1) Executive compensation of the prime contractor. As a part of its annual registration requirement in the System for Award Management (SAM) (Federal Acquisition Regulation

(i) In the Contractor’s preceding fiscal year, the Contractor received-
(A) 80 percent or more of its annual gross revenues from Federal contracts (and subcontracts), loans, grants (and subgrants), cooperative agreements, and other forms of Federal financial assistance; and
(B) $25,000,000 or more in annual gross revenues from Federal contracts (and subcontracts), loans, grants (and subgrants), cooperative agreements, and other forms of Federal financial assistance; and
(ii) The public does not have access to information about the compensation of the executives through periodic reports filed under section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78m(a), 78o(d)) or section 6104 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
(To determine if the public has access to the compensation information, see the U.S. Security and

Officer, or as provided in paragraph (g) of this clause, by the end of the month following the month of award of a first-tier subcontract valued at or above the threshold specified in FAR
4.1403(a) on the date of subcontract award, the Contractor shall report the following information at http://www.fsrs.gov for that first-tier subcontract. (The Contractor shall follow the instructions at http://www.fsrs.gov to report the data.)

Denison Q&A
Soliciation Section (when cited by contractor) Question(s) Answer(s)
SF-33 Please clarify the Period of Performance. The SF-33 (Pages 2-3) references a transition in June 2021, with contract performance starting in June 2021, but Section B.2 references a transition in June 2021, with contract performance starting in July 2021. This language has been corrected. The phase-in starts June 1, 2021 with operations starting July 1, 2021.
B.1 Background The RFP states: “the contractor shall provide career transition services for all graduates and former enrollees of the center.” Please confirm this statement only applies to Denison Job Corps Center as graduates and former enrollees since the RFP requires placing students in Nebraska. At present, the operator for Denison is responsible for admissions and placement services for the Pine Ridge center and for itself. The Government will notify the operator if this arrangement changes.
B.1 the RFP defines students eligible for placement services as “all graduates and former enrollees of the Center.” Will the Denison CTS component be responsible for placing students that are recruited by the Denison JCC’s OA for enrollment at the Pine Ridge JCC? At present, the operator for Denison is responsible for admissions and placement services for the Pine Ridge center and for itself. The Government will notify the operator if this arrangement changes.
B.2 The Continuation Sheet indicates the Phase-In date is 6/01/2020. Please verify The phase-in date is June 1, 2021.
B.2 states the three (3) types of contracts under this procurement to include Cost Reimbursement (C). Will utilities and facilities maintenance line items be under COST Reimbursement? The only elements under this contract which may be cost reimbursable are services orders place for Equipment, CRA, or CTST when a total cost or price cannot be reasonably estimated at the time the order is placed. All other elements (e.g. utilities and faciliites maintanance) are included in the contractor's fixed price.
Section C. Introduction The government notes that the offeror’s proposed technical and staffing approaches will be incorporated into the contract and shall become requirements. Does the incorporation include the BMP? The contractor's entire proposal may be incorporated into the contract. Any terms or conditions included in the BMP or elsewhere that contradict terms/conditions in the contract, or are counter to the interets of the Government would not be incorporated.
C.1.C.2 The contractor is requested to provide basic health care, counseling, and other support services as required by the ePRH.
Are all these same services expected given the current Covid-19 pandemic & remote learning environment or are these services going to be changing given the remote learning status of JCC students? If there are changes, will the government provide further details of what those expectations will be?
Yes. The Government expects these services to continue and will provide details as the circumstances dictate.
C.2 ) lists the Iowa Regions and Nebraska Recruiting Zone for this contract. To confirm, will this contract be responsible for recruitment services throughout the entire State of Nebraska? Also, and to confirm, will this contract be responsible for the Placement of all graduates and FEs from the Pine Ridge JCC? The contractor will be responsible for admissions in Nebraska (i.e. Pine Ridge JCC). The contactor will also be required to provide CTS for the Denision JCC and Pine Ridge CCC.
C.2.A Youth screened for the Job Corps program shall come from workforce development areas in the states of Iowa and Nebraska as follows: Iowa Regions 1, 2, 3 and 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and Nebraska Recruiting Zone NERZ00.” The NEAP plan indicates that Iowa is divided into 2 zones; Recruitment Zone 1 assigned to Ottumwa and Recruitment Zone 2 assigned to Denison. Please clarify the recruitment zones assigned to the Denison Job Corps for this solicitation. The recruitment zones for the Dension Job Corps Center are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 14, and the Nebraska Recruiting Zone NERZ00.
C.2.A The RFP reflects that the Denison OA contract NEAP territory covers all the workforce development regions for the entire state of Iowa and Nebraska. Can you confirm this is accurate? No. The recruitment zones for the Dension Job Corps Center are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 14, and the Nebraska Recruiting Zone NERZ00.
C.2.A The RFP states: “Prospective applicants who reside within the Recruitment Zone will be automatically referred to the appropriate admissions office.” Please provide more details on how this will occur. Prospective applicants initiate their applications via the web portal or by phone. Their applications are routed to the correct Outreach and Admissions Office based upon their zip codes. Staff begin the admissions process by contacting the student within 72 hours to gather additional information.
C.2.A The State of Iowa realigned the Local Workforce Development Areas. Per the Iowa State Workforce Development Board website, the pervious 15 local regions have been consolidated into 9 local regions. Will the RFP be updated to match the Iowa Workforce Development system? The process to align recruitment zones to the local workforce development areas will likely occur later in the process; however, the Government does not anticipate a significant impact to the Denison operator or the program.
C.2.A Per the RFP, youth screened for the Job Corps Center shall come from Iowa Workforce Development Areas 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16; and, Nebraska Recruiting Zone NERZ00.

C.2.C Please clarify the CTT Trades listed in Section C.2.C for the Career Technical Training Programs are correct. For example, per the latest CTT 10 report:
• The current CTT trade offering includes 50 Certified Nurse Assistant slots, and 60 Clinical Medical Assistant slots. The RFP lists 30 for each program.
• The OTP in Advanced Manufacturing currently has 20 slots, whereas the RFP has 10 slots.
• The OTP in Advanced Construction currently has 15 slots, whereas the RFP has 5 full time slots.
The trades offerings listed in the RFP are correct.
C.2.C Please confirm that the RFP should not include any ACT slots. There are no ACT training slots at the Denison Job Corps center.
C.2.C Please clarify the meaning of (Full time slots) under the OTP in Advanced Construction (HVAC). Are the other OTP trades not full time students? The students participating in off-center training programs are engaged in this instruction full time. Full time means the student will utilize their instructional time mastering technical elements in the trade.
C.2.C lists the CTT Offerings at the center which include three (3) OTP programs for Advanced Manufacturing, HVAC and LPN. Please provide the information regarding the provider where these trainings are currently offered. Also, is it acceptable to qualify these students for Pell Grants to pay for student costs/tuition to enroll in these programs? The OTP programs are currently offered by accredited educational institutions. Offerors should propose how they will secure partnerships with training providers in the local area and address applicable costs.
C.2.F Please clarify what, if any, state/local requirements apply to students entering the solo parent program? Are students in the program required to apply for any benefits to offset the cost of operating the solo parent program? If yes, please explain/clarify. The offeror must design a development program for children that meets state licensing guidelines. The offeror must also identify resources and develop linkages for financial and nonfinancial support for the program.
C.2.F Please provide additional information on requirements of the on-center Child Care program:
• Who is responsible to operate the child care center? JCC Contractor or someone else?
• Will child care staff be part of the contractor’s staffing?
• What are the ages of the children at the Center? What are the quantities by ages?
• Can children other than those of Denison Job Corps students attend?
Are other Funding Sources available to Operate the Child Care Center?
The offeror should develop and propose linkages for how it will implement a program that serves 32 students and up to 45 of their children. Additional methods for program operation are described in the RFP and in the program regulations.
C.2.F Section C2.F Indicates there is a Child Care Program and a Residential Single Parent Program. Can the Government please confirm this is correct? Yes. This Job Corps location includes a Residential Child/ Parent program.
C.2.F Is there currently a strategic partnership with an entity such as Head Start to operate the Child Care center and if so, would the government please identify the operator and provide any agreements that may outline the requirements and responsibilities of the center operator? If the Child Care center falls short of their required enrollment are outside children allowed to attend? Is the government responsible for any revenue shortfalls with regard to the annual operation of the Child Care Center? The various methods of operation are described in the program regulations. The current program utilizes one of these methods. Offerors must propose how they will implement the program to include linkages, resources, and costs. Shortfalls will be addressed as described in regulation.
C.2.F Regarding C2.F are students enrolled in the program required to also be enrolled in a state or county program to assist them with their child’s health, personal needs (such as diapers, formula, etc.) and the cost of their child care needs at the Day Care center? Offerors must propose how they will implement the program to include linkages, resources, and costs.
C.2.F RFP states that states that the contract includes an on-center child care program. Is this program currently contracted to a provider? If not, will the government approve a contract with another organization to operate this child care program? The current program utilizes one of the methods of operation described in the program regulations. Offerors should describe how they will implement this requirement in their offers.
C.2.F regarding the child care center – Can the Government please provide the name of the center and the contact information if the program is operated separately by a provider. Currently, there are no children being served in the Child Development Center (CDC). Generally, the program design mirrors one of the methods described in the program regulations. Offerors should develop and propose linkages to implement the Residential Child/ Parent program. The methods of operation are described in greater detail in the program regulations.
C.2.F Please provide a breakdown of the age ranges currently served at the Child Development Center (CDC). Per the program regulations, no children younger than 6 weeks old nor older than mandatory public school age are permitted to enroll in the Child Development Center (CDC). The age breakdown will vary within this range. Currently, there are no children being served in the CDC.
C.2.F How is the CDC currently operated? Does the Center have a contract with a local Head Start agency to operate the CDC? Historically, all of the methods described in the program regulations have been utilized at the Denison CDC. Offerors must develop an approach to implement this requirement.
C.2.F Are the staff of the CDC considered Center staff? Does the CDC receive funds from the state for operation? If so, please provide an explanation of how those funds are maintained. The methods for CDC operation are described in the program regulations. Offerors should identify resources and develop linkages for financial and nonfinancial support for the program.
C.2.F Do students participating in the single parent program pay fees to the CDC for their children to attend? If so, how are those fees paid? Per the program regulations, offerors should identify resources and develop linkages for financial support. Once approved, the operator will implement written standard operating procedures for administering the program.
C.2.F Does Head Start operate the Child Development Center? The current program utilizes one of the methods of operation described in the program regulations. Offerors should describe how they will implement this requirement in their proposals.
C.2.F Please provide the number of children by age for the Child Development Program. There are currently no children being served in the CDC program. Offerors should propose a plan to implement a program that can accommodate up to 45 children ranging in age from 6 weeks through compulsory school-age.
F.5 An arrival goal of 520 for Denison JCC with an OBS capacity of 282 seems high. Please confirm the need for 520 arrivals annually. The arrival goals are based upon the National Enrollee Assignment Plan which is required by statute.
F.5 It is indicated here that Denison has a Pine Ridge Arrival Goal of 225 students. What is not clear is the CTS requirements. Given the new direction of Job Corps that each center is responsible for their own placement, is Denison required to also place Pine Ridge students or only Denison students? At present, the operator for Denison is responsible for admissions and placement services for the Pine Ridge center and for itself. The Government will notify the operator if this arrangement changes.
F.6 The Government notes that “Generally, the Government will measure performance through the programs performance management system, which is comprised of four reports…”
With the current Pandemic crisis & remote learning occurring, will the government consider a waiver to these specific report card metrics? Or modify them considering the current atmosphere?
The Government will notify the operator if the current method of evaluating performance changes.
G.9 With the current Covid-19 pandemic atmosphere and remote learning, is 100% OBS still the expectation after 3 months grace period? If not, how does the government expect to adjust monthly price given the current situation? At this time, we are unable to forecast the impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on the Denision JCC in the Summer of 2021 (the beginning of the next contract). Should the pandemic effects at that time requrie changes in the pricing of the contract, a new pricing arrangement may be negotiated with the contractor.
H.5 Because Travel is now part of the fixed price CLINs, why is the contractor still required to verify with the CO/COR for travel requests? Why is the contract requested to adhere to FAR 31.205-46? These requirements seem more applicable to cost-reimbursable contracts rather than Fixed price contracts. The language for H.5 has been corrected.
Section J Attachments J1 – J13 does not have active links. Can the Government please provide links to documents where needed? Please see Attachment in Solicitation labeled "How to View RFP Attachments"
Section J was not included in with the Solicitation document. Can the Government please release the attachment for responders to send to their customers, and extend the due date in order for customers to respond timely? Please see Attachment in Solicitation labeled "How to View RFP Attachments"
Section J Please provide the Facility Survey Volume I for the Center. This Facility Survey Volume I has been included in Amendment 0002.
J-9 Facility Survey – Volume 1 The executive Summary notes there are improvements that can be made or need to be made. Can the contractor assume that these are to be fixed through CRA funding, Equipment, and/or CTST funding rather than through Operational funding?
If some of the above issues are to be fixed through Operational dollars, can the Govt. identify which items those will be and provide further insight for contractors?
Facility improvements are funded through construction, rehabilation, and acquistion projects (CRA funding). The CRA projects are cost-reimbursable contract lines with specified Not-to-Exceed (NTE) amounts.
J-10 & J-11 There is considerable Property and Inventory at the Center.
As the RFP reflects a fixed Price contract going forward, what is the intent of the government with both Property (& Expendable Property) and Inventory as it transfers between Incumbent and Awardee.
• Is Property to remain the Governments and transferred through the normal close-out process?
• And Expendable Property, is that to be kept/negotiated to between the two new contractors?
At time of the contract transfer, does this expendable property no longer remain the Governments?
Government Property will be managed by the contractor in strict accordance with FAR Part 45, and FAR Clause 52.245-1. Property that currently belongs and/or is titled to the Government will remain property of the Government before, during, and after the awarded contract. This disposition of such proporty at the end of the contract would be up to the contractor.
Property purchased by the contractor may or may not become Government Property. Property purchased by the contractor in fulfillment of CRA, Equipment, and/or CTST orders will become Government property. Property purchased by the contractor in fulfillment of typical day-to-day operations under firm, fixed-price CLINs (e.g. expendable items) would belong to the contractor.
J-12 Are there any costs for utilities outside of Electricity, Water & Natural Gas? No support was provided for Sewer or other additional utilities besides the three mentioned above and Watchdog often omits Sewer or Oil.
Also, for the J-12, are these actuals from the Center or from Watchdog, which uses estimates for unknown periods? It seems that the only usage amounts provided were for Electricity. The rates and time periods do not calculate to the total provide in the summary. Also, the annual total from the J-12 differentiates substantially from the J-23 totals.
Yes. The totals in the J-12 attachment are actual costs for utilities as reported by center operators. "Water" costs include both water and sewer.
| J-12 | Could the Government please provide the actual dollar cost for gas, sewer, electric, and water for the past three years? |
| The usage reports in the attachments are derived from actual costs reported by center operators. |
J-16 Please clarify the Wage Determination is 2015-4998 rather than 2015-4997.
In the past, the WD’s are usually the odd numbered WD’s and not the even WD’s.
This will be corrected. As the precedence for odd numbered wage determinations has been established, it will continue.
J-18 Please provide the correct website for the State of Iowa Workforce Development goals?
The current one listed in the RFP does not work.
The link has been corrected to https://www.doleta.gov/Performance/goals/perf_levels/WIOA_Perf_Negot_PY18-19.xlsx
FAR 52.219-9 This is not required as the contract is a designated Total Small Business. Request this clause be deleted by the Contracting Officer. Inclusion of this clause has no effect as the beginning of the clause states "(a) This clause does not apply to small business concerns."
FAR 52.219-14 Given the status of business designation for Offerors, the noted clause must be incorporated as a required clause. Request that the Government amend the proposal to include the clause. FAR 52.219-14 has been incorporated into the solicitation.
I.6 FAR 52.217-8 will notify the Contractor 10 days prior to end of contract. FAR 52.217-9 states the Government will give the Contractor preliminary notice of its intent to extend the contract 10 days before the contract expires. Request that these dates be corrected by the Government to show a 60 day notice of intent to extend the contract and 30 day notice that the contract will be extended. These dates are not an error. The Government will provide its notice of intent to exercise an option no later than 10 days prior to expiration of the current contract period.
Even though Job Corp contracts are now fixed price, Per Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) § 686.930, we are assuming that…
