Description of Services

The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Region 5 Fire Protection and Safety

Branch requires that fire protection facility assessments are required to be conducted. In addition to completing the Fire Protection Facility Assessment Report (FPFAR), a National

Risk Management Survey (RMS) must be completed using the Fire Protection Template found in the IRIS FMA module (templates provide as part of this contract) and are to be conducted on a recurring basis as described in the scope of work.

The Region 5 Fire Protection and Safety Branch is responsible for ensuring all Federal buildings are provided with an adequate level of safety. The Fire Protection and Safety

Branch serves as the authority having jurisdiction for GSA and issues Certificates of

Occupancy for all new construction, renovations, and occupancy changes in federally owned buildings.

A. The Fire Protection facility assessment report and the RMS template(s) are a quantitative method to collect consistent and comparable facility data for compliance with all applicable IBC, NFPA Codes and Standards and PBS-P100 design guidelines. Surveys consist of an assessment of the entire building, including all tenant occupied spaces and Child Care Centers. The intent of the survey is to conduct a risk assessment of the building, its life safety systems, along with the O&M operations.

B. The purpose of conducting the FPFAR and the RMS survey is to analyze buildings, including occupancies and intended use, to determine the risk of injury, loss of life, property, or interruption of Federal tenant mission due to the effects of fire and/or safety concerns. The assessment is to address the effects of these conditions on the safe and healthful work environment for Federal employees and the visiting public. Conducting the FPFAR and the RMS requires an inspector or inspection team to inspect buildings and building Fire Protection systems.

Observation and interviews of GSA contracted operations and maintenance employees will assist in determining Fire Protection related hazards, the risk of injury, loss of life, property, or interruption of Federal tenant mission with regard to compliance with the applicable IBC, NFPA codes and standards along with the

PBS-P100 Design guidelines.

Prior to the time that an identification card is issued, such Regular Employees will be required to comply with normal facility access control procedures, including sign-in, temporary badging, and escorted entry, as applicable.

-Failure of a Regular Employee to receive a favorable suitability determination shall be cause for removal of the employee from the work site and from other work in connection with the contract.

-Contract employees working less than six months (Temporary Employees) may, at the

Government's option, be required to undergo a lesser form of suitability determination. Prior to the time that an identification card is issued, if at all, such Temporary

Employees will be required to comply with normal facility access control procedures, including sign-in, temporary badging, and escorted entry, as applicable.

- All contractors are required to be given at a minimum a preliminary favorable in order to start working.

-The Government, at its sole discretion, may grant temporary suitability determinations to

Regular or Temporary Employees. However, the granting of a temporary suitability determination to any such employee shall not be considered as assurance that a favorable suitability determination will follow.

He or she will also have the responsibility of monitoring and tracking all security clearance submissions. The GSA Security Sponsor will send additional forms and instructions regarding the security clearance process to the Contractor point-of-contact via email. Contractor is responsible for all fingerprinting. The Contractor POC will be required to submit a list of contractor employees for whom you are seeking security clearances, including their position on the contract. Compliance with the security clearance process will be a factor assessed in the Government’s evaluation of contractor performance. Failure to submit all security clearance documents may result in the contract being terminated for default.

Process for Regular:

The automated Electronic Questionnaire for Investigations Processing (e-QIP) clearance system is used to conduct background suitability investigations of regular clearances. Before receiving access to the e-QIP database, Contractor employees must complete the Contractor

Information Worksheet. Completing this form and submitting electronically will assist in the efficient processing of contract applicant e-QIP invitations.

Individual Contractor Information Worksheets (CIW) are to be electronically submitted to the GSA Security Sponsor via the Contractor POC. In addition, individual CIWs should be completed for individuals who have had a prior investigation conducted or have been a U.S.

resident for less than three years.

All forms should be sent in electronically to the appropriate GSA Security Sponsor. The email attachments must be encrypted and the password should be sent in a separate email to help protect the personal identification information.

After the forms are found to be accurate and complete, GSA processes the e-QIP invitation. Contractor employees will then receive an email invitation to the e-QIP database.

This email will explain the process in detail.

Once the Contractor employee has completed all the e-QIP information, they are to print, sign and date the “Authorization to Release Information” and “e-QIP Investigation Request” signature forms. To do this they would follow the “Click to Sign” function in e-QIP. They also need to fill out the OF306 and GSA 3665 electronically, print, sign and date the form.

Then both forms are to be uploaded into e-QIP before releasing to the Office of Personnel

Management (OPM). Contractor employees will then receive an email invitation to set up an appointment to go to a Managed Service Office (MSO) Credentialing Station to get fingerprinted. If the contractor is 100+ miles from an MSO Credentialing Station they must submit in hard copy two SF87 fingerprint cards to the GSA Security Sponsor or the designated GSA Security Clearance Office for submission to OPM for adjudication.

Once OPM has completed all the necessary checks, the applicant will be notified of their preliminary status; either favorable or unfavorable. If the status is favorable, a security badge will be issued. If the status is unfavorable, a letter will be issued identifying a process for an appeal.

Security clearance submittals are due to the GSA Zone C Mailbox within 10 days of award.

Contractors shall submit a CIW V4 for every member of the team. Failure to submit required security clearance applications in a timely manner jeopardizes the successful on-time completion of the project. Failure to submit security clearance documents may result in the contract being terminated for default.

NOTICE TO PROCEED (NTP) WILL NOT BE ISSUED UNTIL THE GSA

SECURITY SPONSOR HAS OFFICIALLY NOTIFIED THE CONTRACTING

OFFICER THAT SECURITY CLEARANCES FOR PROPOSED EMPLOYEES

HAVE BEEN RECEIVED AND APPROVED BY THE OFFICE OF PERSONNEL

MANAGEMENT (OPM). PERMANENT CONTRACT STAFF WILL NOT BE

ALLOWED TO WORK IN FEDERALLY CONTROLLED SPACE PRIOR TO

OBTAINING THE APPROPRIATE BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION.

-A background criminal history check by name and date of birth from the State of Residence will be performed by GSA.

-No employee or subcontractor shall be allowed to perform any work under this contract without receiving prior clearance from GSA.

-The GSA Security Sponsor reserves the right to require the Contractor to resubmit the documents at any time. If requested by the GSA Security Sponsor, the requested forms shall be submitted to the GSA Security Sponsor within three working days of receiving such a request. If a preliminary favorable has been issued by OPM and a contractor fails to provide additional information requested by OPM for a final clearance within the specified time period the employee will be removed until such time that the documents are submitted, and approved.

-The Government shall have, and exercise, full and complete control over granting, denying, withholding, and terminating clearances for any employee.

-Occupant agencies may require the Contractor and the Contractor’s employees to obtain special clearances for access to certain areas covered under this contract. The GSA Security

Sponsor will inform the Contractor when such clearances are required.

GSA Criteria for Adjudication

The following criteria were prepared under the guidelines of the Office of Personnel

Management’s (OPM) FPM Supplement 731-1, “Determining Suitability for Federal

Employment,” and guidelines from GSA’s Office of Audit Resolution and Internal Controls.

The criteria for adjudication have been approved by the GSA General Counsel. The following criteria are used by trained regional and/or National Office personnel security specialists, to determine the eligibility of prospective construction, service contract employees, and child care providers.

As a general guideline, the criminal history background records are examined for construction, service contract employees, and child care providers for the previous 5 years, (for contract guards the previous 10 years). However, the entire record is reviewed to ascertain if any serious offenses or incidents are noted that would disqualify. Criminal history background checks for construction, service contract employees are good for as long as they are working on a GSA contract and have not had more than a two year break in service. Child care providers are conducted every five years.

All information of record, both acceptable and unacceptable, will be assessed in terms of its relevance, recentness, and seriousness, while keeping in mind that the objective is to provide fair, impartial, and equitable treatment of all employee applicants. The limited criminal history checks may reflect juvenile records, psychological referrals or information sealed by court order or statute, which would be given special consideration.

The principal factors used in the adjudication process in determining whether a person’s conduct would be expected to interfere with the ability of the applicant(s) to function in the position, or if the applicant’s past conduct was such that the safety of Federal employees and/or visitors to delegated and/or GSA-controlled facilities would be in jeopardy, are outlined below:

-Any type of misconduct or negligence in prior employment which would have an effect on the quality of security and protection provided to customer agencies or prior conduct which would interfere with or prevent a delinquency or misconduct in employment are: attitude, personality, conflict insubordination, absenteeism/attendance, rules/regulation violation and pattern of unemployment based on misconduct or delinquency as reflected in employment history.

-Criminal or dishonest conduct related to the duties to be assigned to the applicant/employee and/or the performance of such duties. The following crimes are acts which could disqualify prospective or regular employees:

Abuse or neglect of a child or other dependent person entrusted to their care.

Child molestation.

Forcible or statutory rape.

Possession and sale of narcotics and/or dangerous drugs.

Arson.

Murder.

Kidnapping.

-Found to be a chronic alcoholic by any court, which suggest that the condition would prevent the applicant/employee from performing the duties of the position, or that the condition would pose a serious threat to the property and safety of others. (If an applicant can present medical certification that he or she has thoroughly recovered or completed a rehabilitation program, this will be weighted accordingly).

-Illegal use of narcotics, drugs, or other controlled substances, without evidence of rehabilitation.

-Any statutory or regulatory bar which prevents the lawful employment of the person involved in the position in question.

-Serious misconduct while in the military service which is indicative of conduct unacceptable for child care providers and/or other contract personnel.

-In the event information is developed that a contract employee has been arrested; National

Office FPS will re-evaluate until this function is transferred to the region. The regional reviewing official will re-evaluate to determine if the employee should continue to work.

Department of Homeland Security, Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Federal Protective Service (DHS, BICE, FPS) will ensure the contractor takes appropriate action, and if the employee needs to be removed, a letter of removal will be sent to a contractor.

-Financial responsibility such as pattern of non-support judgment tax lien or other default with no attempt at restitution, illegal gambling, eviction, or other irresponsibility as reflected in credit history, disregard for debts, abuse of fiduciary trust.

-Immoral conduct when a pattern of misconduct is shown by conviction records, medical treatment, public knowledge, child molestation, sexual assault, statutory rape, incest, bestiality, or convictions of or involvement in other sex related crimes.
