A.2 Questions and Answers Questions and Answers

1. The listed schedule on page 7 of 83. Is this the time window we are allowed to work within, or the staff schedules wanted? Currently we had to have staff coverage of the CLC from 6:00am - 8:00pm daily and the other areas starting at 1:30pm until complete BUT we had to be out of the building by 11:30pm. – At the current moment, there are two-day shift housekeepers. One arrives at 6:00am and the other arrives at 7:00am. There are two mid shift housekeepers that start at 1:30PM and work until their assignments are completed.

1. If that is the hours they want covered, do they have a preference on how many people per shift? – Per history, two housekeepers per shift. Two-day shift and two mid shift.

1. Currently service only the CLC on holidays. Are they wanting to remove holidays in the CLC as well? The CLC should be serviced 24/7 including holidays with times starting by 6:00AM and no later then 8:00AM. The remaining areas ( Dietetics, office spaces) should be Monday-Friday, excluding holidays, from 1:30PM thru 10:00PM. The CLC needs to be cleaned 7 days a week, that is not an option. There are no VA staff that are assigned duties for this issue. The CLC must be cleaned daily to keep infections down and garbage taken out.

1. When the CBOC moved out of the building we still clean a portion of that space, 4,964 SF. That is CLIN 0003 in the current contract. Are they not wanting that cleaned anymore? This will not be included in the new contract

1. Under the Periodic Cleaning section starting on page 6 of 83. J. Fort Harrison Furniture Moving is still included which is no longer needed but J. and K. from the previous SOW were removed which I believe would still be needed. I say that because these are areas, we would get emails from Jim on periodically. I just wanted to confirm. – To confirm, Fort Harrison furniture moving should be removed. Sections j-k, should be added to the SOW. Miles City facilities moves furniture as requested for the CLC and other areas that are occupied in the facility.

1. J. Nursing Home Beds in Miles City CLC – (Weekly) Cleaned weekly for infection control and veteran health care. Need to remain in the contract.

1. K. Patient Rooms in Miles City (CLC) – (As Required) when the floors need to be buffed or waxed the nurse, manager and building manager set that time frame to have as little of disruption to the residents as we can.

1. Currently cleaning the “eating Area” or "dining room" in the CLC. I didn't see that listed in the new SOW. Is that still needing to be serviced after each meal (3 per day)? – Yes, this would still need to be serviced. CLC dining area needs to have tables wiped down, floor swept and mopped after every meal, slip fall prevention due to spills, keeps insects from entering the building. This needs to stay in the contract.

1. How many Janitorial Staff are working? How many janitorial closets are available? Day SHIFT 2 --- MID SHIFT -- 2 -- 3 closets, 1 in the CLC and 2 in the main building 1st floor --- there are 4 employees on staff

1. Who is the incumbent? HAMHED LIMITED LIABILIY COMPANY

1. How much is the current contract total? $ 3,624,120.00 – Note: This contract was multiple building and multiple locations. Many of which were removed after contract award.

1. Is it possible to extend the response date one week? RFQ will close on 07/29/2024 at 14:00 CST

1. How many janitorial closets are available?

3 closets, 1 in the community living center and 2 in the main building 1st floor

1. What is the government’s current budget? This information will not be provided.

***Workers in this classification may be entitled to a higher minimum wage under Executive Order 14026 ($17.20 per hour) or 13658 ($12.90 per hour). Please see the Note at the top of the wage determination for more information. Please also note that the minimum wage requirements of Executive Order 14026 and 13658 are not currently being enforced as to contracts or contract-like instruments entered into with the federal government in connection with seasonal recreational services or seasonal recreational equipment rental for the general public on federal lands. The minimum wage requirements of Executive Order 14026 also are not currently being enforced as to any contract or subcontract to which the states of Texas, Louisiana, or Mississippi, including their agencies, are a party.

Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors, applies to all contracts subject to the Service Contract Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year. Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is the victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.

ALL OCCUPATIONS LISTED ABOVE RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS:

HEALTH & WELFARE: $4.98 per hour, up to 40 hours per week, or $199.20 per week or $863.20 per month

HEALTH & WELFARE EO 13706: $4.57 per hour, up to 40 hours per week, or $182.80 per week, or $792.13 per month*

*This rate is to be used only when compensating employees for performance on an SCA-covered contract also covered by EO 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors. A contractor may not receive credit toward its SCA obligations for any paid sick leave provided pursuant to EO 13706.

VACATION: 2 weeks paid vacation after 1 year of service with a contractor or successor, 3 weeks after 5 years, and 4 weeks after 15 years. Length of service includes the whole span of continuous service with the present contractor or successor, wherever employed, and with the predecessor contractors in the performance of similar work at the same Federal facility. (Reg. 29 CFR 4.173)

HOLIDAYS: A minimum of eleven paid holidays per year: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. (A contractor may substitute for any of the named holidays another day off with pay in accordance with a plan communicated to the employees involved.) (See 29 CFR 4.174)

THE OCCUPATIONS WHICH HAVE NUMBERED FOOTNOTES IN PARENTHESES RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING:

1) COMPUTER EMPLOYEES: This wage determination does not apply to any individual employed in a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional capacity, as defined in 29 C.F.R. Part 541. (See 41 C.F.R. 6701(3)). Because most Computer Systems Analysts and Computer Programmers who are paid at least $27.63 per hour (or at least $684 per week if paid on a salary or fee basis) likely qualify as exempt computer professionals under 29 U.S.C. 213(a)(1) and 29 U.S.C. 213(a)(17), this wage determination may not include wage rates for all occupations within those job families. In such instances, a conformance will be necessary if there are nonexempt employees in these job families working on the contract.

Job titles vary widely and change quickly in the computer industry, and are not determinative of whether an employee is an exempt computer professional. To be exempt, computer employees who satisfy the compensation requirements must also have a primary duty that consists of:

(1) The application of systems analysis techniques and procedures, including consulting with users, to determine hardware, software or system functional specifications;

(2) The design, development, documentation, analysis, creation, testing or modification of computer systems or programs, including prototypes, based on and related to user or system design specifications;

(3) The design, documentation, testing, creation or modification of computer programs related to machine operating systems; or

(4) A combination of the aforementioned duties, the performance of which requires the same level of skills. (29 C.F.R. 541.400).

Any computer employee who meets the applicable compensation requirements and the above duties test qualifies as an exempt computer professional under both section 13(a)(1) and section 13(a)(17) of the Fair Labor Standards Act. (Field Assistance Bulletin No. 2006-3 (Dec. 14, 2006)). Accordingly, this wage determination will not apply to any exempt computer employee regardless of which of these two exemptions is utilized.

2) AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS AND WEATHER OBSERVERS - NIGHT PAY & SUNDAY PAY: If you work at night as part of a regular tour of duty, you will earn a night differential and receive an additional 10% of basic pay for any hours…
