3.3 A workshop is a method of instruction whereby the students are allowed to perform the procedures or tasks that have been demonstrated to them by the instructor(s).

Workshops must be accomplished under the supervision of the instructor(s).

3.4 Training equipment is material that Safety and Occupational Health (SOH) and environmental professionals may encounter in the performance of their duties, i.e., respirators, monitoring equipment, protective clothing, etc.

3.5 Formal teaching experience is defined as time spent by an instructor in front of a classroom of students conducting training from a lesson plan. The training may take the form of lectures, oversight of students working in groups, working with students in a one-on-one basis in the resolution of academic problems, using audiovisual hardware and software in the presentation of a topic, supervising students during field exercises, etc.

4.0 Deliverable Product

4.1 The contractor shall provide training for NAVSAFENVTRACEN using both contractor-owned/provided and government provided learning materials, equipment and methodologies to produce a graduate that satisfies the Center's mission and the learning objectives contained in the course outline.

5.0 General Conditions

5.1 General

5.1.1 All personnel employed by the contractor entering the government-furnished facilities shall conform to all safety, security, work conditions, regulations and procedures which may be in effect during the contract period and shall be subject to such checks as may be deemed necessary to assure that no violations occur. No employee will be permitted on the government-furnished facilities when such check reveals that the employee's presence would be detrimental to the security of the facilities or accomplishment of work.

5.1.2 Contractor personnel assigned to teach a course shall have expertise in the subject area and instructional experience. The personnel shall be familiar with all initial presentation and remediation procedures, training aids, devices and equipment associated with the course and shall be evaluated by both the contractor and government. Contractor instructors will be evaluated by government SMEs and by student critiques.

5.1.3 All contractor technical instructors and technical instructor supervisors shall abide by the rules and regulations concerning the maintenance of personal standards for instructor integrity, grooming, conduct, speech, and student fraternization. The motivation of student and instructional personnel must be maintained at a high level to ensure a favorable learning environment.

5.1.4 Contractors are to provide all training materials used in the course, including instructor lesson plans, student handouts, references, charts, manuals, tests, audiovisual aids, and training equipment unless otherwise specified in the PWS. Contractors may prepare materials or use their already existing course materials, modified as necessary, to conduct the training in accordance with the PWS. Materials produced or used by the contractor, with the exception of handouts provided for student retention, remain the property of the contractor and do not become property of the government unless they were provided to the contractor by the government.

5.1.5 There is no predetermined list of training equipment, handouts, audiovisual aids, references (other than those cited in the course outline), manuals, etc., to be used in the courses unless otherwise specified in the PWS. However, the use of computer-generated graphics (e. g., PowerPoint) to supplement lectures is required. The selection of these materials is at the discretion of the contractor. It is required, however, that the course will use training equipment (see definition of training equipment in paragraph 3.4), handouts (may be included as a part of the student guide/manual), and other audiovisual aids, e.g., digital video disk.

5.1.6 The government will provide classroom space, with chalk/dry marker boards and standard audiovisual equipment for the course when available. For classes taught in Norfolk, the government will provide projection systems for computer-generated graphics.

However, for locations other than Norfolk, the contractor is responsible to provide a projection system and computer laptop unless the course supervisor indicates that this equipment is available at that location. Classes may be taught in webinar format when resident classroom training is not feasible due to pandemics, natural disasters or emergent situations. When virtual training is required, the contractor shall be expected to convert the residence course to a virtual/webinar format using the Navy Safety Center training platform, Adobe Connect, for virtual course delivery.

5.1.7 Contractors are to include all topics/discussion points contained in the course outlines. Deviation is allowed only as indicated in paragraph 11.0(c).

5.1.8 The awarding of Continuing Education Units (CEUs) and/or CIH/CSP Certification Maintenance Points shall be the responsibility of NAVSAFENVTRACEN and not that of the contractor. However, the contractor may be requested to provide certain course data so that course certification may be obtained.

5.1.9 In all instances of disciplinary matters between contract employees and government personnel, the contractor shall prepare a written report to the COR which includes a summary of the events. A formal contractor investigation is not required.

5.1.10 The contractor shall submit to the COR a course completion report within thirty (30) days after the end of each class convening. The report shall include, as a minimum, a student attendance roster, student data records (if necessary), student critiques, drop/failure records (if applicable), and instructor comments/observations. The student attendance roster shall be faxed or emailed to the NAVSAFENVTRACEN at the conclusion of the last day of the course.

5.1.10.1 Contractor shall ensure student data records (if necessary), attendance roster and student critiques are completed by all students. The contractor shall fax or email the attendance roster to the NAVSAFENVTRACEN at the end of the last day of class.

5.1.10.2 Contractor shall complete a Drop/Failure Record (government provided) for each student who does not complete the course for other than academic reasons.

5.1.10.3 The contractor shall complete a Course Completion Certificate for each student who successfully completes the course. These certificates shall be filled out by the contractor at the end of each course and passed out to students who have successfully completed the course. In the event that certificates cannot be given to the students at the conclusion of the course, it is the responsibility of the contractor to make arrangements to ensure the students receive their certificates. Course completion certificates shall be kept under careful control by the contractor and only issued directly to the student successfully completing the course. Any unused certificates may either be retained by the contractor for future classes, or properly destroyed.

5.1.11 Attendance Policy

Any student missing more than 20% of a class will fail the course and not receive a graduation certificate. The contract instructor should contact the COR or course supervisor immediately to discuss the student's situation. The government retains the right to make the final decision on whether or not a student will be allowed to stay for the remainder of the course.

5.1.12 Submission of Invoices

All invoices for completed course of instruction shall be submitted to the COR within five (5) working days after return from travel and then input to WAWF. Submitted invoices shall include the fixed price cost for the convenings taught, as well as any reimbursement for travel and per diem.

5.2 Security

5.2.1 The courses taught under this contract are unclassified.

5.2.2 Permits/Decals

Each contract instructor/manager shall obtain a permit/decal as required by the visited activity security office as necessary to enter the work sites.

5.2.3 Security Requirements

The contractor shall conform to all DOD, DON, and local security instructions.

5.2.4 Physical Security/Key Control

The contractor shall conform to all current and applicable DOD, DON, and local command instructions regarding physical security and key control. The contractor shall maintain key control over assigned keys.

5.2.5 Personal Security/Anti-Terrorist

After award of the contract, the contractor shall become knowledgeable of all current DOD, DON, State Department and local command instructions pertaining to personnel security, force protection, and anti-terrorism issues. This will require each instructor to complete required training and forms such as Level One Anti-Terrorism Training, Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape (SERE) 100 Code of Conduct Level B Training, Human Rights Training, Country Specific and Isolated Personnel Report (ISOPREP) also known as a PRO-file within the time frames required by the guiding regulations. Training will be accomplished either on-line or through other means as arranged by the contractor and the NAVSAFENVTRACEN.

The completion of such training shall be reported to the COR and course supervisor. The contractor shall not receive any compensation for this training. Periodic refresher training is required.

5.3 Safety

The contractor shall conform/comply with all referenced safety instructions. Any safety related problems shall be addressed immediately to the COR.

5.4 Accident Reports

The contractor shall conduct an investigation into all accidents occurring on government property involving contract employees and report the findings in writing of such an investigation to the COR within three (3) calendar days after the occurrence. When required, the contractor shall provide input for reporting accidents involving students.

5.5 Contract Work Hours

Classes typically begin at 0730 and end at 1600 on each day with a ten (10) minute break every hour and an hour for lunch. Occasional non-standard training days may be required by emergencies, and/or base operational commitments. In these cases, as much prior notification as possible will be provided to the contractor. However, the course is designed for whole days and shall not vary substantially from this format, e.g., ending after a half-day on the last day, two-hour lunches or ending class two hours early on days in the middle of the week.

Likewise, extending past the normal ending time can only be done with the student’s concurrence since many students may have off-hour commitments. Holidays shall be limited to those normally scheduled for the United States federal government employees. Legal holidays for the purpose of this contract are:

New Year's Day Labor Day Martin Luther King Day Columbus Day Presidents Day Veterans Day Memorial Day Thanksgiving Day Independence Day Christmas Day

5.6 Travel

The contractor shall conduct all travel in accordance with FAR 31.205-46, Joint Federal Travel Regulations and Joint Travel Regulations. In the event that the allowable per diem limits for an area must be exceeded (i.e., lodging), the contractor must receive approval from the COR prior to travel. The cost of travel documents such as passports and visas will be included in the unit price of the course.

5.6.1 Compliance With Spanish Laws and Insurance

When ICS 300, ICS 300 Refresher and OHS TTX are held in Spain, the contractor shall ensure that they are in full compliance with DFARS 252.228-7006 and the DoD Foreign Clearance Guide, to include Appendix A, which is available at https://www.fcg.pentagon.mil/fcg.cfm. The contractor shall carefully observe all procedures and lead-time requirements specified in the DoD Foreign Clearance Guide. Since Spanish civil liability insurance need only be purchased when classes are scheduled to be held in Spain, the government intends to reimburse the contractor for the amount of the insurance premium through a separate contract line item number and should not be included in the unit cost of any courses.

5.7 Dress Requirement

The contractor shall ensure that all instructors and supervisors maintain a standard of grooming and personal appearance that reflects a high degree of pride in themselves and in their employees, and in keeping with their position as a professional in a military environment.

5.8 Academic Standards

In cases of student academic problems, the contractor is expected to provide counseling and remediation. The contractor shall notify the COR or course supervisor immediately of any student having academic problems. The government reserves the right to make any decision concerning termination or extension of training for the student with academic problems.

5.9 Inability of Contractor to Perform

In the event that an instructor is unable to teach a class due to illness, injury or death, the contractor must have a contingency plan (CP) in place to replace that instructor within twenty-four (24) hours at their own expense. In addition, the government reserves the right to request that an instructor be replaced due to poor performance. The CP must also address the manner in which this instructor will be replaced. Such plans must be included in Phase II, Part I (Written Proposal) and may be reviewed by the COR at any time after award.

5.10 Poor Performance

The following elements, which comprise examples of poor instructor performance, can ultimately result in the removal of the instructor if these actions remain unabated:

- regularly late for class

- poorly prepared to teach (which frequently results in the instructor reading overhead transparencies, or notes to the students)

- disorganized, resulting in poor time management, student confusion, and/or jumping from topic to topic and not following the syllabus

- regularly unable to answer students’ questions (most likely due to lack of knowledge)

- regularly refusing to answer students’ question (either due to lack of knowledge, lack of preparation, agenda anxiety, lack of respect of students)

- regularly dismissing class early (more than an hour before dismissal time)

- failure to remediate

- routinely unwilling to remediate

- routinely having to remediate more than 10% of the class

- inappropriate language (vulgar, sexist, racist, or language that shows disrespect for the students)

- either unwilling or incapable of ascertaining the level of the class’s knowledge and teaching at that level

- routinely unwilling, or incapable of, controlling the discipline of the class

(e.g., allowing disruptive side conversations to occur during the instructor’s presentation of the course material, allowing students to show up late thereby disrupting the class)

6.0 Student/Instructor Ratios: Student Loading

6.1 Student/instructor ratios are 1:30, which allows for an adequate number of instructors at all times to ensure effective coverage of each of the courses, student remediation during class hours, and student supervision and safety.

NAVSAFENVTRACEN will reimburse the travel and per diem expenses for one (1) instructor to teach all courses.

6.2 The maximum class size for each class is thirty (30). The minimum class size is fifteen (15). While it is considered extremely unlikely that this will occur due to the high demand for this training, the government reserves the right to cancel a convening with fewer than fifteen (15) students at no cost/penalty to the government. The contractor will be notified no later than twenty-one (21) days prior to the first day of the class, if the minimum class size is not met.

6.3 The government reserves the right to exceed each class size on a case-by-case, limited basis at no extra cost to the government if agreed to in advance by the COR and the contractor.

7.0 Qualifications

7.2.3 Teaching Experience: The instructor must have a minimum of three

(3) years of formal teaching experience (see paragraph 3.5 for definition). (One year’s worth of teaching experience equates to a minimum of 160 hours of classroom training time per 12 month period.) The instructor must also have at least one (1) year of experience teaching DoD or U.S.

Coast Guard personnel. This DoD or Coast Guard teaching experience may be in addition to the above three years of teaching experience or may be counted as one of the three years of teaching experience. If the instructor has no experience teaching DoD or Coast Guard personnel, he/she may substitute active duty in the DoD or Coast Guard. However, the active duty must have been for at least three (3) years with an honorable discharge.

7.3 Contractor's Contract Manager

The contractor shall identify a point of contact/contract manager for contractual matters. This is the individual that the COR will deal with concerning the contracted course and contractor performance.

7.4 Personnel Staffing

The contractor shall provide a staffing approach that ensures full coverage at all of the scheduled training sessions during class duty hours and have replacement coverage available for each for each training event in the event it is needed. The Government estimates in the Independent Government Estimate to be the level of effort of two people per training event scheduled; one instructor to teach the course and one instructor on standby to travel if the first instructor is unable to complete the course. The staffing approach shall describe the methodology for recruitment and retention of experienced and qualified personnel as described in sections 3.5, 5, 6, and 7 of this document. In addition, the staffing approach should address a plan to minimize instructor turnover.

8.0 Student Evaluation/Testing

8.1 Contractor

8.1.1 Classrooms operated by the contractor shall be manned by qualified instructors who have qualified for employment under the provisions contained herein.

8.1.2 Prior to failing a student, the contract instructor shall contact the COR or course supervisor to discuss the situation and provide recommendations. The final decision of whether or not to fail a student shall rest with the government.

8.1.3 The instructor must ensure that each student has adequately mastered the learning objectives of each course.

8.2 Government

The COR or course supervisor shall reserve the right to administer unscheduled tests to selected students.

9.0 Quality Control

The contractor is responsible for establishing, maintaining and monitoring the quality control of the services provided hereunder via a detailed QCP clearly stating his/her procedures for ensuring quality. As part of the above plan, the contractor shall establish and maintain an instructor evaluation system. Records of all instructor evaluations for contract employees shall be kept current, complete and available to the Contracting Officer, or COR upon request during the performance of this contract.

9.2 The government reserves the right for the COR or his/her designated representatives to evaluate contractor performance, including both technical content and instructional techniques, at any time. Observations of the evaluator will be passed to the contractor via the COR. Direct discussion of observations by a designated representative with contract instructors is not permitted.

9.3 The contractor shall require instructors to take Combating Trafficking in Persons annual training and maintain documentation requirements to ensure compliance with FAR 52.222-50. The COR will review CTIP training documentation and verify contractor is in compliance.

10.1.6 Remediation shall be provided for any student demonstrating academic problems at any time in the course. This may take the form of one-on-one discussion during or after class hours, extra study assignments to reinforce mastery of difficult material, a review of the results of the final exam, etc. The degree of remediation will be determined by the contract instructor based upon the particular situation. It is expected that most remediation will be accomplished during regular class hours. There may be, however, a need to briefly assist a student on an occasional basis after class. There is no compensation beyond that included in the contract. Any demands on a contract instructor's time considered excessive and beyond the scope of the contract should be brought to the attention of the COR.

However, the contractor must tailor the verbiage to navy terminology and replace the USCG standard scenario with a scenario specific to the US Navy facility where each class is convened. This will enhance the facilities’ ability to claim PREP credit for components exercised during the class. The contractor may personalize the course materials provided any changes are not substantive in nature.

C.1.6.2 Workshop: A tabletop exercise utilizing an interactive spill response computer application will be conducted during the course of instruction. This can be accomplished by doing a series of group exercises throughout the course. A scenario-driven tabletop exercise unique to each facility shall include, but is not limited to:

- response strategies and tactics for the appropriate location

- spill assessment and reporting

- providing sufficient containment and protective boom

- recovery of oil and providing adequate storage capacity for recovered oil

- responder and public health

- aerial surveillance for both operations and NRDA

- incident objectives

- track and identify additional resources

- increased security/force protection

- safety zones

- resource requirements and obtaining funds

- SUPSALV or BOA contracting and cascading equipment

The expectation is the majority of this course will involve students actively participating in the workshop exercise.

C.1.6.3 The government will provide to the contractor a scenario for each location the class is conducted which defines the scope of the exercise workshop e.g. beginning point of the exercise, the size of the spill, area and environmental impact, etc. no later than 30 days prior to the start of the class.

C.1.6.4 The government will provide to the contractor a list of the PREP components, if any, to be exercised at that specific facility or region no later than 30 days prior to the start of the class.
