The service will require one 2-ton enclosed box truck with rear lift gate (one entry point), the ability to strap down the cargo inside the box truck as most of the pouches will be on rolling carts, and a lockable door leading into the cargo box. One dedicated Contractor driver shall be required with an appropriate driver’s license for each day of work. The Contractor shall identify a backup driver in case the primary driver is unable to drive for the day. Both driver’s names, licenses, mobiles, and personal info will be submitted to the Embassy for security review.
Route
The Contractor driver shall report Monday to Friday to the U.S. Embassy mailroom between 10:00 and 10:30 hours with the 2- ton box truck that has a lift gate on the rear (one entry point). The U.S. Embassy mailroom staff will coordinate the paperwork and loading the truck. The Contractor driver shall assist with loading and securing the pouches. The load will consist of rolling bins containing the mail pouches and loose mail pouches not in rolling bins. The Contractor driver must secure the rolling bins and loose pouches with cargo straps and netting to prevent tipping or movement while the truck is in motion. The Embassy mailroom staff then places a numbered seal on the truck secure door locking it in place. The seal must not be removed or damaged while in transit. The condition of the seal, and the numbers on the seal will be verified at the FMC on arrival and FMC will remove the seal.
The Embassy mailroom staff will provide the Contractor driver with two AV-7 forms and two copies of the pouch manifest. The Contractor signs the pouch manifest documents confirming that the seal is on the door and undamaged.
Once the seal is in place, the Contractor driver with truck shall depart the Embassy approximately 10:30 hours and drive directly, with no stops, to the FMC in Yokohama.
Once the driver arrives at FMC, the compound access gate will normally be open so the driver and truck should proceed to a loading area. The driver will need to back into the loading bay.
Again, the truck must have a rear lift gate. The Contractor driver shall identify him/herself to the FMC staff, the FMC will verify the condition and number on the seal, then cut the seal off the truck door. The Contractor driver shall give the AV-7 form and the manifest to the FMC staff. FMC will sign both copies of the manifest and return one signed copy to the Contractor driver. The Contractor driver shall return the signed copy to the Embassy mailroom staff. The FMC staff shall unload the truck for the Contractor driver.
Once unloading is complete, the FMC staff will load the truck for the Contractor driver with the mail pouches that will be taken back to the Embassy mailroom. Once loaded, FMC then places an undamaged, numbered seal on the door to secure it.
FMC gives the Contractor driver two copies of new manifest, and the Contractor driver shall sign both copies to signify the seal is undamaged and in place, then return one signed copy to FMC staff. The Contractor driver then departs to return to the Embassy mailroom with no stops along the way.
The Contractor driver arrives at the Embassy no later than 13:00 hours (do not be late) and the process for unloading is repeated with the Embassy mailroom staff. All documents from FMC are given to mailroom staff. Once the truck is unloaded, the Contractor driver and truck shall depart the Embassy compound and return the next day for the same trip.
1.2.1.8 Record Keeping Requirements
The Contractor shall sign for the pouches at each location and pass the signed documents to the personnel at the FMC and/or the U.S. Embassy mailroom.
1.2.1.9 Storage Area Requirements
No storage is permitted between the FMC and Embassy delivery locations. The mail pouches will stay in the sealed truck until either the FMC or the Embassy mailroom personnel sign for the pouches. The truck shall not stop between delivery locations.
1.2.1.10 Period of Performance

A summary sheet, listing all dates worked and cost for incoming and outgoing shipments must accompany these invoices. The invoice dates worked will be verified with the Embassy Mailroom Supervisor.
1.2.1.12 Government Approval and Acceptance of Contractor Employees
The Contractor shall subject its personnel to the Government's approval. All employees must pass a suitable investigation conducted by the Contractor, including recommendation(s) from their respective supervisor(s). Also required are a police check covering criminal and/or subversive activities, a check of personal residence, and a credit investigation.

1.2.18 Quality Assurance and Surveillance Plan (QASP).

The QASP provides a method for the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) to monitor Contractor performance, advise the Contractor of unsatisfactory performance, and notify the Contracting Officer of continued unsatisfactory performance.
