SYSTEM FOR AWARD MANAGEMENT (SAM) REPLACES CCR and ORCA Effective July 30th, 2012, the System for Award Management (SAM) replaces the contractor registration sites CCR and ORCA. In an effort to streamline the acquisition process, SAM was established to consolidate several acquisition systems including CCR, ORCA, and EPLS and create a single repository of contractor information. As a single validated source of data on contractors doing business with the Government, the SAM database enables prospective contractors to update their information in one place.

If you have been using the legacy systems CCR and ORCA, you should now go to http://www.sam.gov to find your information. Training tools are available on the SAM website to help you get familiar with SAM.

Start by going to http://www.sam.gov, and then click on the SAM HELP tab. Under User Help you will find the full User Guide as well as Quick Start Guides and Helpful Hints that will help you create an account, migrate your roles from legacy systems (if applicable) and perform updates. PLEASE NOTE: SAM is http://www.sam.gov/ completely free of charge for both registrants and users. You will be required to complete a one-time business registration, with annual updates. As a part of the registration process you will need to provide your DUNS identification number. If you do not have a DUNS number you may contact Dun and Bradstreet, Inc. at (800) 333-0505. You may register in SAM at http://www.sam.gov.

In accordance with FAR Parts 1, 2, 4, 13, 32, and 52 contractors must have an active profile in the SAM database prior to award of any contract, basic agreement, basic ordering agreement, or blanket purchase agreement. No award will be made to any contractor without an active profile in SAM.

GSAR 552.219-72 PREPARATION, SUBMISSION, AND NEGOTIATION OF SUBCONTRACTING

PLANS (OCTOBER 2016)

(a) When submitting a subcontracting plan in accordance with FAR 52.219-9, the offeror shall submit a subcontracting plan with its initial offer. The subcontracting plan will be negotiated concurrently with price and any required technical and management proposals, unless the offeror submits a previously-approved commercial plan.

(b) Maximum practicable utilization of small, HUBZone small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran owned small business concerns as subcontractors is a matter of national interest with both social and economic benefits. The General Services Administration (GSA) expects that an offeror’s subcontracting plan will reflect a commitment to assuring that small, HUBZone small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran owned small business concerns are provided the maximum practicable opportunity, consistent with efficient contract performance, to participate as subcontractors in the performance of the resulting contract. An offeror submitting a commercial plan can reflect this commitment through subcontracting opportunities it provides that relate to the offeror’s production generally; i.e., for both its commercial and Government business.

(c) GSA believes that this potential contract provides significant opportunities for the use of small, HUBZone small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran owned small business concerns as subcontractors. Consequently, in addressing the eleven elements described at FAR 52.219-9(d) of the clause in this contract entitled Small Business Subcontracting Plan, the offeror shall:

(1) Demonstrate that its subcontracting plan represents a creative and innovative program for involving small, HUBZone small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran owned small business concerns in performing the contract.

(2) Include a description of the offeror’s subcontracting strategies used in any previous contracts, significant achievements, and how this plan will build upon those earlier achievements.

(3) Demonstrate through its plan that it understands the small business subcontracting program’s objectives and GSA’s expectations, and it is committed to taking those actions necessary to meet these goals or objectives.

(d) In determining the acceptability of any subcontracting plan, the Contracting Officer will take each of the following actions:

(1) Review the plan to verify that the offeror demonstrates an understanding of the small business subcontracting program’s objectives and GSA’s expectations with respect to the program and has included all the information, goals, and assurances required by FAR 52.219-9.

(2) Consider previous goals and achievements of contractors in the same industry.

(3) Consider information and potential sources obtained from agencies administering national and local preference programs and other advocacy groups in evaluating whether the goals stated in the plan adequately reflect the anticipated potential for subcontracting to small, HUBZone small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran owned small business concerns.

(4) Review the offeror’s description of its strategies, historical performance and significant achievements in placing subcontracts for the same or similar products or services with small, HUBZone small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran owned small business concerns. The offeror’s description can apply to commercial as well as previous Government contracts.

(e) Failure to submit an acceptable subcontracting plan and/or correct deficiencies in a plan within the time specified by the Contracting Officer shall make the offeror ineligible for award.

(End of provision)

LICENSE REQUIREMENTS

Offerors should note the requirements of paragraph entitled License Requirement, in section C.8, that evidence of having or having made application for all appropriate permits and licenses for the state specified must be submitted with their offer.

EVALUATING CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE

The General Services Administration is using the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) module as the secure, confidential, information management tool to facilitate the performance evaluation process. CPARS enables a comprehensive evaluation by capturing comments from both GSA and the contractor. The website for CPARS is http://www.cpars.gov.

Completed CPARS evaluations are sent to the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) which may then be used by Federal acquisition community for use in making source selection decisions.

PPIRS assists acquisition officials by serving as the single source for contractor past performance data.

CPARS Registration

Each award requiring an evaluation must be registered in CPARS. The contractor will receive several automated emails. Within thirty days of award, the contractor will receive an e-mail that contains user account information, as well as the applicable contract and order number(s) assigned.

Contractors will be granted one user account to access all evaluations.

CPARS Training

Contractors may sign up for CPARS training. A schedule of classes will be posted to the CPARS training site (http://www.cpars.gov/allapps/cpcbtdlf.htm) and updated as needed.

CPARS Role_Contractor Representative (CR)

All evaluations will be sent the Contractor Representative (CR) named on your award. Access to CPARS will be granted to the CR after the award is registered in the system.

The CR will be able to access CPARS to review and comment on the evaluation. If your CR is not already in the CPARS system, the contracting officer will request the name and email address of the person that will be responsible for the CR role on your award.

Once an evaluation is ready to be released the CR will receive an email alerting them the evaluation is ready for their review and comment. The email will indicate the time frame the CR has to respond to the evaluation; however, the CR may return the evaluation earlier than this date.

The contractor must promptly notify the Contracting Officer of any change in their CR to allow the update to be made in the system.

GSA shall provide for review at a level above the contracting officer (i.e., contracting director) to consider any disagreement between GSA and the contractor regarding GSA’s evaluation of the contractor. Based http://www.cpars.gov/ http://www.cpars.gov/allapps/cpcbtdlf.htm on the review, the individual at a level above the contracting officer will issue the ultimate conclusion on the performance evaluation.

Copies of the evaluations, contractor responses, and review comments, if any, will be retained as part of the contract file.

QUALITY CONTROL PLAN (QCP)

The contracting Officer (CO) must accept a completed Quality Control Plan (QCP) prior to award of a contract. The QCP will be specific to the contract specification and location(s) in accordance with the provisions and requirements of the solicitation.

NOTICE TO PROCEED (NTP)

Notice to Proceed (NTP) will NOT be issued until the COR has officially notified the CO that approved clearances for proposed employees have been received and approved by the Department of Homeland security, Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Federal Protective Service (DHS, BICE, FPS).

B.5. Note to Offerors

a. Include all costs for emergency call-back service during normal working hours in the price per month for standard services. Also include in the price per month for standard services, the cost for overtime associated with the maintenance and testing specifically identified in the solicitation to be performed outside normal working hours. Additional overtime services that may be required will be ordered using the hourly rate specified in B.4.

b. Quote single per hour prices for emergency call-back during other than normal working hours, overtime and additional services (see Exhibit 4 Definitions) regardless of any commitments on the part of the offeror to pay varying salary rates or travel expenses to its employees. These prices must include all expenses for overhead, General and Administrative (G&A) and profit. No separate allowance for travel time, parking, overhead, G&A or profit will be applied when hourly services are used.

c. Offerors are cautioned not to confuse overtime services with additional services. Additional services are defined as any work requested by the Government that is within the scope of this contract but in addition to the contract requirements. Overtime services are defined as work within the scope of the contract originally intended to be performed during normal working hours, where the Government requests the work be performed outside of normal working hours to expedite the return of a piece of equipment to operating condition or to minimize disruption to tenants.

d. The number of hours shown for hourly services represents an estimate of the Government’s anticipated need and is for evaluation purposes only.

e. The term “elevator” is intended to include all elevator, escalator, dumbwaiter, handicapped lift, courtroom lift and wallglider equipment, if applicable, at the location.

f. Offerors should visit the building and become familiar with existing conditions; examine all contract documents relating to this work, and carefully review the requirements contained in this specification. Offerors shall determine any conditions which affect the work and make a thorough site investigation before submitting an offer. No allowances will be made for failure of an offeror to avail themselves of such information.

g. The GSA Form 300 will describe the service (for orders of $2,500.00 or more) to be provided and will establish, excluding emergencies as determined by the Contracting Officer (CO) or the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), the maximum number of hours for which the contractor will be compensated. Orders of $2,500.00 or less may be processed using the Government-wide commercial purchase card, which is the preferred method. Individual orders for additional services involving more than forty (40) hours will only be issued with the assent of the contractor.

SECTION C – DESCRIPTION, SPECIFICATIONS AND STATEMENT OF

WORK

C.1 General Note The Contracting Officer and the Contracting Officer's Representative will hereafter be referred to as the CO and the COR or CO and designee, respectively.

C.2 Scope of Work The Contractor shall provide full elevator maintenance service, in compliance with the ASME Safety Code requirements, manufacturer's recommendations, Elevator Industry Field Employees’ Safety Handbook, National Electrical Code, and all other applicable laws, regulations, rules, ordinances, codes, etc. Full maintenance service is defined as all services, repairs, inspections and testing necessary to maintain all elevators, appurtenances, and accessories in a fully operational mode at all times except for pre-scheduled downtime including all labor, parts and materials. In part, this includes maintenance and repair of door seals, light bulbs and lighting fixtures in elevator spaces (cars, hoistways, tops and bottoms of cars, and pits), and maintaining acceptable ride quality which may require periodic evaluation and adjustment of guide rails.

Reference is made to Section 8.6 of the Code which establishes requirements that must be adhered to.

The maintenance contractor must provide all tools, equipment, supplies and personnel necessary for safely performing all tests required by the ASME A17.1 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators and the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). GSA is the AHJ. This includes inspections and tests required at six (6) month, one

(1) year, three (3) year and five (5) year intervals, and any other tests determined as necessary by the CO or designee. All tests required by code will be conducted at no additional cost to the government regardless of when the testing is performed.

C.2.1 Governing Factors in Determining the Adequacy of Elevator Maintenance The adequacy of the elevator maintenance will be determined based on the following factors: measurement of elevator speed, door opening and closing time, performance time, door closing force, floor to floor performance time, mean time between service calls, ride quality, stopping accuracy, downtime, customer feedback, number of repeat service calls, timeliness and quality of service call responses and corrective action, frequency of outages and entrapments, quality and timeliness of preventive maintenance and repairs, timeliness and adequacy of testing and inspection as well as the quality and timeliness of repairs or adjustments identified as a result of tests and inspections. The contractor may be required to verify and provide documentation of the performance measurements referenced during the course of the contract.

A critical component of this performance specification is the contractor’s Maintenance Control Plan (MCP).

The contractor is required to submit a MCP acceptable to the CO or designee and document compliance with the plan through the use of required service call and preventative maintenance logs. Any deviation from the performance standards identified in Section J/Exhibit 2 shall be justified to and approved by the CO or their designee in writing.

C.2.1.2 Repair & Replacements The Contractor shall be responsible for all costs associated with accomplishing repairs and replacements including labor, equipment, materials, supplies and subcontracts for all equipment and systems specified herein. The Contractor shall not be required to make renewals or repairs made necessary by reason of negligence or misuse of the equipment by persons other than the Contractor, his/her representatives, employees and subcontractors, or by reason of any other cause beyond the control of the Contractor, except ordinary wear and tear. This does not exempt deficiencies from coverage under this contract that may have developed or were caused prior to the contract effective date. There are no exemptions for obsolescence of any particular component. Excluded from this contract are unprotected hydraulic cylinders and underground piping for hydraulic elevators.

C.2.1.3 Operation of Equipment The Contractor shall be fully responsible and accountable for the operation of all equipment beginning on the performance start date specified in the Notice to Proceed. Any piece of equipment, component or system not operational by the start of the normal building operating hours shall be reported to the CO or designee no later than 8:00 a.m. that day. The report will include the reason for the outage, corrective action proposed and estimated date the elevator will be returned to service. If the outage is of a recurring nature, the reporting requirement must be repeated daily.

C.2.1.4 Minimum Level of Work These specifications are a statement of the standard level of work and services that are to be provided in certain areas under this contract. They are not intended to be, nor shall they be construed as, limiting specifications or requirements.
