Q7. Beyond the state and federal minimum wage, is there a prevailing wage, living wage ordinance, local mandated wage, or contract-specific wage?

A7. Contract is subject to Service Contract Labor Standards. See FAR clause 52.222-

41. Reference the Wage Determinations in Section D of the RFQ. There are multiple Wage Determinations as there are multiple counties depending on where the clinic is located.

Q13. CLINS mentioning guard retention are pre filled out as it relates to the pricing schedule.

A13. Correct. The Government has established the security guard retention pay line item, which it will reimburse for.

A14. All posts are currently staffed by the current contractor with the exception of the second officer at Bend and Supervisor as that is not in the current contract.

Q15. Are licenses and certifications required at time of submission of quote?

A15. See E.2. Addendum to FAR 52.212-1 Quote Preparation Instructions & Question Submission, 1.b. for submission requirements.

Q16. Page 5, item number 0002, Is it 9000 hrs for 4 guard for 4 locations? The 9000 hrs is not adding up for 4 guards. Each guard should be 2000hrs. Is the 1000hrs for possible overtime?

A16. Yes, the 9000 is an estimate of total hours for the year for the 4 guards total (1 guard each at 4 locations) and ensuring a post is manned 45 hours a week.

Q17. Page 5, item number 0003, is it 9000 hrs for 2 guards for 2 locations?

Q18. Page 5, item number 0004, the 10.00 under the quantity column is for the total guards?

(The total numbers of guards is not adding up to 10)

A18. The total guards, including supervisor, at any given time should be 9 guards total.

An additional guard was added in case of turnover, bringing the total to 10 individual the Government will reimburse per year. The Government will only pay for the number of individuals actually hired, up to 10 per year.

Q19. Page 6, item number 0005, I am not understanding the 20.00 under the quantity column and the selection of $500 or $10,000. It is retention pay after 6 months. The 20.00 is confusing me since Page 5, I believe says 10.00 under the quantity column.

A19. The Government will reimburse retention pay every 6 months for up to 10 individuals per year. 10 individuals x 2 per year (every 6 months) = up to 20 retention pay reimbursements per year. See PWS 13.d. for more information.

Q20. Is this a new contract? If not, who is the incumbent?

A20. See Q&A 1-2.
