A-76 REQUIREMENT

Note paragraph entitled FAR 52.207-3, Right of First Refusal of Employment in Section I.

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)

The current contractor is Armstrong Elevator Company, located in Largo, FL. The current monthly price is $29,891.37. Although this solicitation is for services basically the same as the current contract Scope of Work, it should be reviewed carefully before submitting a bid.

FAIR LABOR STANDARDS/SERVICE CONTRACT ACT PRICE ADJUSTMENT PROVISIONS

If this is a multiyear service contract or a service contract that may exceed a year in length if options are exercised, offerors should note the price adjustment provisions in Section I of this solicitation.

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA) REQUESTS

It is not necessary to reference the FOIA when requesting procurement history, such as the name of the current contractor, contract amount, contract copies, or abstracts of bids. For this information, you may contact the point of contact shown in Block 10 on the first page of the solicitation.

USE OF EXPRESS PACKAGE CARRIERS

Because of increased security standards and building renovations, “next-day” express package carriers may experience delays in making deliveries within the Chicago Loop Federal Center.

Offerors should take this fact into consideration when determining when to submit their offers.

SOLICITATION COPIES

Note that Block 9 on the first page of the solicitation specifies the number of copies of the offer that must be returned by offerors.

Do not include any allowance for any contingency to cover increased cost for which adjustments are provided for under the Fair Labor Standards Act and Service Contract Act - Price Adjustment (Multi-year Contract) contained in the CONTRACT CLAUSES section of this contract.

Reimbursement for emergency call-back, overtime, and additional services will only be computed for the man hours performed at the work site.

PRICING OF OPTIONS

Offerors shall price the initial 12 month period and the option requirements for the 4 additional 1 year periods by assuming that the minimum hourly wages and fringe benefits established by the Administrator, Wage and Hour Division, U.S. Department of Labor for the initial 12 month period of performance will apply to the initial period and to the four - 1 year option periods. The minimum wage rates and fringe benefits applicable to the initial 1 year period of performance are outlined on the wage rate sheet.

PROMPT PAYMENT DISCOUNT

Block 13 on the first page of the solicitation and possibly the solicitation pricing page(s), is to be used to offer prompt payment discounts. Payment terms are set forth in the Prompt Payment clause in this solicitation. Offerors are cautioned against inserting any statement that indicates that payment is due sooner that the time stipulated in the Prompt Payment clause. EXAMPLE:

Inserting "Net 20" may cause the offer to be rejected as unacceptable, because the entry would be contrary to the 30-day payment terms specified in the Prompt Payment clause.

OPTION TO EXTEND SERVICES

Offerors should note that Section I of this solicitation includes FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, which allows the Government the unilateral option to extend the term of any resultant contract up to six months, exclusive of any other option provisions which may be included as part of any resultant contract.

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 https://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. Training courses are available at the CPARS training site (https://www.cpars.gov/webtrain.htm) and updated as needed.

CPARS Role_Contractor Representative (CR) https://www.cpars.gov/ https://www.cpars.gov/webtrain.htm

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 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.

PROJECT LABOR AGREEMENT

Offerors may submit a price proposal subject to the PLA requirements set forth in this solicitation (a PLA proposal), a price proposal not subject to the PLA requirements set forth in this solicitation, or both.

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.

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 ASME A17.1 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators 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 Scope of Work

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. The contractor will be required to take all steps and measures which would be taken by a prudent building owner to maximize the life expectancy of the elevators and related systems and ensure safe and reliable elevator operation.

C.2.1.5 Maintenance Control Program

The Contractor shall develop, submit, and implement a maintenance control program (MCP) acceptable to the CO or their designee. The MCP must be in compliance with the requirements of the ASME A17.1 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators Section 8.6. All equipment shall be maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, the best practices of the industry, and applicable codes, standards and regulations. If a conflict arises between these standards, the Authority Having Jurisdiction (GSA) will determine the appropriate application.

Within fifteen (15) days after award and no later than the contract start date, whichever is earlier, a copy of the MCP will be provided to the CO or their designee. The MCP must be reviewed and approved by the CO or their designee. Failure to provide a MCP that is fully compliant may result in withholding of payments and/or contract termination. The ASME A17.1 Section 8.6.1.2.1 states: “The MCP shall specify examinations, tests, cleaning, lubrication, and adjustments to applicable components at regular intervals.”

The MCP must identify the specific maintenance tasks and frequencies at which they will be performed. These tasks must be based on the manufacturer’s recommendations, the type and age of the equipment, the accumulated wear, the environment the equipment is located in, the level and manner of use of the equipment, and any other influencing factors that may require varying levels of maintenance.

These tasks may be organized in groups relating to the location of the tasks being performed, but the individual elements of the each task must be delineated separately.

The MCP shall be transmitted electronically to the CO or designee for approval. Once approved, the MCP will be maintained electronically and a current copy maintained/posted in each elevator machine room.

The MCP shall be reviewed regularly by the Contractor to ensure its continued relevance, updating as appropriate to reflect any changes in equipment, condition or use. The updated MCP shall be transmitted electronically to the CO or designee for approval and an updated copy available in each elevator machine room. GSA may request a review of the plan at any time, to ensure its continued suitability and effectiveness.

The contractor shall maintain a preventive maintenance log for each elevator to document compliance with the MCP. A detailed log of all service calls, in compliance with the MCP requirements, shall also be maintained for each elevator. This is in addition to the requirement to submit a report monthly of all work performed. These records represent the official maintenance history of the equipment and as such are the property of GSA.

These records must be maintained and secured in the elevator machine room and electronically and remain the property of the Government at the conclusion of this contract. This includes all historical records of maintenance, repair, service calls, warranties, etc. The Contractor must not dispose of any equipment records.

C.2.1.6 Scheduled Work

All scheduled work that requires an elevator to be taken out of service shall be coordinated with the CO or their designee. The contractor is responsible for the installation of appropriate signage or barricades related to the equipment and/or systems outage, based on best practices of the industry or as directed by the COR. In the event an elevator is shutdown, an "Out of Service" sign must be placed at each call button on all floors when the elevator is the only one servicing that area.

C.2.1.7 Changes to Existing Elevator Equipment

The Contractor shall not change or alter the existing elevator equipment or any electrical circuits, wiring, controls, or sequencing without written authorization from the CO or their designee. If changes are authorized, the Contractor shall make appropriate revisions to the elevator drawings and/or specifications. All parts or components installed, or improvements made, by the Contractor during the term of this contract shall become and remain the property of the Government.

C.2.1.8 Inspections and Tests

The Government reserves the right to require the Contractor to perform inspections or tests whenever deemed advisable to ascertain that the requirements of this contract are being fulfilled. All tests shall be scheduled through the CO or their designee and the Government reserves the right to witness all testing. These inspections will be at no additional cost to

GSA.

GSA requires uninterrupted elevator service to support the mission of tenant agencies and ensure safe and reliable elevator service for the public that visit our facilities. To ensure uninterrupted service, any needed repairs must be scheduled and completed promptly.

Failure to maintain an adequate stock of repair parts on site, availability of manpower or access to subcontract resources will not be considered an acceptable reason for delay. If specialty parts or components are needed, the contractor will be required to secure those materials in an expedited manner.

C.2.19 Uninterrupted Elevator Service

C.2.1.10 Contractor Spaces, Shops and Storage Areas

The Contractor shall maintain the machinery spaces, shops and storage areas in a clean and orderly manner. When work is performed in these areas, the Contractor's personnel shall clean up all debris and leave the area in a safe and presentable condition. All equipment located within the machinery rooms shall be painted as needed to provide a professional and uniform appearance. Painting of equipment must conform to industry standards in terms of color coding and identification. Equipment identification and numbering must be maintained as directed by the CO or designee. The contractor will also be required to maintain the condition of the equipment room floor including cleaning, painting or sealing.

If the floor has not been previously sealed or painted, the Contractor will confer with the CO or their designee to confirm the appropriate method for maintenance. Any supplies to be stored on site such as lubricants, rags, cleaners, etc. shall be properly secured in cabinets and labeled as appropriate. Storage shall not negatively impact the means of egress, fire protection systems, and emergency lighting; nor, shall it significantly increase the amount of combustible material in the machinery space. Clearances from electrical equipment shall be maintained as required by NFPA 70, the National Electrical Code.

C.2.1.11 Elevators with Firefighters’ Emergency Operation

Each month, the Contractor shall subject all elevators provided with firefighters’ emergency operation to Phase I recall. Phase I recall will be conducted by use of the key switch, and a minimum of one-floor operation on Phase II. The Contractor shall correct all deficiencies immediately and provide a report to the CO or designee, detailing the actions taken to correct the deficiencies. The Contractor shall maintain a log of test results in the machine room and make it available to the CO or their designee and elevator inspection personnel upon request.

C.2.1.12 Asbestos Containing Material

Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) or Presumed Asbestos Containing Material (PACM) may be present on the elevators. The contractor is responsible to maintain the existing asbestos containing material if present, in an intact and/or non-friable condition. Locations of asbestos containing material may include the following:

a. Floor tiles or resilient flooring material inside of the car.

b. Adhesive flooring mastic inside of the car.
