Statement of Work

“360 Mining Classroom Training Simulator and Continuous Miner Module.”

The services contemplated under this contract are considered to be an Other Function as defined by the Office of

Federal Procurement Policy in OFPP letter 11-01 and by HHS in Acquisition Policy Memorandum 2012-01.

BACKGROUND

A Cube simulator hardware setup and a continuous miner training module are needed to facilitate OMSHR research activities. The simulator and module will be used to produce realistic, immersive, and controlled mining scenarios involving the continuous miner operator (and potentially other positions with the purchase of additional software packages and hardware). The sizing of the cube is designed to provide an enclosed feel similar to an underground and/or cab environment. The continuous miner training module will be designed to be used as a research tool to assess participants’ performance of several critical tasks under varying informational situations.

Because non-permissible electronics cannot be used in the underground environment, this hardware setup facilitates cognitive workload, performance metrics, and position related measurements in an environment that is as close to real-life as possible. Therefore, it will be used in conjunction with other research measurement equipment.

The government understands that some of the software features will require additional development or slight modification. Please be sure to indicate how all the features will be met and whether they are already included with previously released versions or not. The development and final approval of the software features will require an iterative work process with the government to verify completion as a part of this contract. An explanation of this process is given in the scope of work below.

C.10 CDC42.0001 Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) Requirements (April 2003)

In accordance with FAR 42.15, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will review and evaluate contract performance. FAR 42.1502 and 42.1503 requires agencies to prepare evaluations of contractor performance and submit them to the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS). The CDC utilizes the Department of Defense (DOD) web-based Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to prepare and report these contractor performance evaluations. All information contained in these assessments may be used by the Government, within the limitations of FAR 42.15, for future source selections in accordance with FAR

15.304 where past performance is an evaluation factor.

The CPARS system requires a contractor representative to be assigned so that the contractor has appropriate input into the performance evaluation process. The CPARS contractor representative will be given access to CPARS and will be given the opportunity to concur or not-concur with performance evaluations before the evaluations are complete. The CPARS contractor representative will also have the opportunity to add comments to performance evaluations.

The assessment is not subject to the Disputes clause of the contract, nor is it subject to appeal beyond the review and comment procedures described in the guides on the CPARS website. Refer to: www.cpars.gov for details and additional information related to CPARS, CPARS user access, how contract performance assessments are conducted, and how Contractors participate. Access and training for all persons responsible for the preparation and review of performance assessments is also available at the CPARS website.

The contractor must provide the CDC contracting office with the name, e-mail address, and phone number of their designated CPARS representative who will be responsible for logging into CPARS and reviewing and commenting on performance evaluations. The contractor must maintain a current representative to serve as the contractor representative in CPARS. It is the contractor’s responsibility to notify the CDC contracting office, in writing (letter or email), when their CPARS representative information needs to be changed or updated. Failure to maintain current CPARS contractor representative information will result in the loss of an opportunity to review and comment on performance evaluations.
