5.0 SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION AND SERVICES

5.1 Drug Detection Procedures

Pursuant to Marine Corps policy applicable to both Government and Contractor personnel, measures will be taken to prevent the introduction and utilization of illegal drugs and related paraphernalia into

Government work areas.

In furtherance of the Marine Corps' drug control program, unannounced periodic inspections of the following nature may be conducted by installation security authorities:

a. Random inspections of vehicles on entry or exit, with drug detections dog teams as available, to eliminate them as a safe haven for storage of or trafficking in illegal drugs.

b. Random inspection of personnel possessions on entry or exit from the installation.

When there is probable cause to believe that a contractor employee onboard a Marine Corps installation has been engaged in use, possession, or trafficking of drugs, the installation authorities may detain the employee until the employee can be removed from the installation or can be released to the local authorities having jurisdiction.

Trafficking illegal drug and drug paraphernalia by Contractor employees while on a military vessel/installation may lead to possible withdrawal or downgrading of security clearance, and/or referral for prosecution by appropriate law enforcement authorities.

The Contractor is responsible for the conduct of employees performing work under this contract and is, therefore, responsible to assure that employees are notified of these provisions prior to assignment.

The removal of Contractor personnel from a Government vessel or installation as a result of the drug offenses shall not be cause for excusable delay, nor shall such action be deemed a basis for an equitable adjustment to price, delivery or other provision of this contract.

5.2 Administrative or Technical Assistance

Government representatives are provided below. These individuals will be available for answering

Contractor employee questions and providing administrative or technical assistance as required.

Contract Administrator: Tammie Cassell, tammila.cassell@usmc.mil, 910-451-6357

The Government will assist the Contractor with acquiring any personnel passes, identification cards and vehicle permits needed in the performance of this contract.

6.0 HAZARDOUS WASTE

Typically, towels used in these areas have the potential to be contaminated with a variety of petroleum-based products, oils, greases, cleaning solvents and paints as well as by-products of lead, cadmium, and chromium. Further, dirty shop rags are expected to be laundered or cleaned in a manner that optimizes reuse/recycling but not for the sole purpose of avoiding disposal as a hazardous waste which is a violation of federal and state environmental laws. Periodic inventory of shop rags will be performed by the contractor (minimum four times each year) to verify contract award quantity is on hand and correct.

Contractor must fully comply with all applicable federal, state and local environmental regulations regarding any handling, transport, recycling and /or disposal of all dirty and/or used shop rags delivered to or removed from MCAS Beaufort.

Contractor will make provision on weekly delivery invoices for signature and receive such signature by appropriate government personnel and/or employee at the Environmental Office prior to contractor departure from MCAS Beaufort.

Any problems encountered by the contractor completing delivery of shop rags must be immediately reported to the NREAO department POC designated.

Contractor shall make every reasonable effort to accommodate changes in quantity or delivery locations due to changing mission requirements. Additional and/or different delivery sites (not to exceed a total number of six each additional) which do not result in or require an increase in the original contract quantity of shop rags shall not incur any additional expense to the government.

7.0 BASE ACCESS

Contractors, and/or delivery drivers, must have in their possession: the contract number, delivery/service address, and sponsor’s contact information in order to gain initial access to the base.

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations.
