SECTION B: SERVICES, ORDERING AND PRICES

B.1 Description of Services The General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service (PBS), has a need for Operations and Maintenance, Custodial, and other related services for Del Rio and Eagle Pass, TX facilities. Under this contract, the contractor shall provide all management, supervision, labor, materials, supplies, repair parts, tools, equipment and subcontracts necessary to provide all services described in this solicitation.

B.1.1 Small Business Set-Aside Under This Contract This contract is 100% 8(a) Small Business

B.2 Pricing of Services Figure B-3, Pricing of Services, must be completed by the contractor and submitted to the Contracting Officer (CO) as part of the Price Proposal. At time of award, Figure B-3 will be incorporated into the contract. Pricing must be submitted for a 5-year contract term.

Offeror must submit offerors for all locations under this contract to be considered for award. Offerors must submit prices for all of the option periods, in addition to the initial period, to be considered for award. Renewal options shall be priced using the wage determination contained in this solicitation. Upon exercising a renewal option, the contract price will be adjusted in accordance with FAR 52.222-43 Fair Labor Standards Act and Service Contract Labor Standards-Price Adjustment (Multiple Year and Option Contracts).

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 solicitation. 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.

PLEASE NOTE: Custodial Maintenance services should be priced for the Del Rio

Border Station and US Probation in Del Rio, TX ONLY. Custodial Maintenance services are NOT included under this contract for the Eagle Pass Border Stations

(Bridge 1 and Bridge 2) location as these services are currently being provided under separate contract.

B.2.1 Basic (Standard) Services:

Standard service is defined as all services that are included in the monthly price and are defined in the contract document. The monthly price shall include all applicable labor, materials, supplies, training/certifications, equipment (except as otherwise provided), supervision, and management. A blank Figure B-3 in Section J is included as part of the solicitation for the purpose of submission of the offeror’s price proposal.

B.2.2 Above Standard Services Additional services (or Above Standard Services) may be ordered at the discretion of GSA for work relating to the scope of the facilities listed above, but not covered in the basic services of the contract.

Above standard services in this contract may include the following as specified in Section C.9.6:

Carpet Extraction Window Washing (Exterior Surfaces or Windows) Washing Blinds and Coverings Tree Thinning Snow and Ice Removal Confirmed or Suspected COVID-19 Cleaning and Disinfecting High Cleaning Above 12 feet

Propose a fully burdened price per hour for (6:00 am to 6:00 pm) and (6:00 pm to 6:00

am) for each of the skill sets indicated. These rates shall not exceed the overtime rates as defined in the CBA and SCA. Only those hours outside of an employee's normal working hours would be applicable to additional services.

B.2.2.1 Overtime Services Offerors are cautioned not to confuse overtime services with additional services.

Additional services are defined as work requested by the Government that is within the scope of this contract but is 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 the normal working hours to expedite the return of a piece of equipment to operating condition or to minimize disruption to tenants.

B.2.3 Markup Coefficient for Service Task Orders Markup coefficient includes all material handling fees, including General and Administrative (G&A) fees, and profit. No additional markup coefficient is allowable under this contract. The markup coefficient rate is fixed and applies to supplies, materials, equipment, and subcontractors only on reimbursable repairs or when additional services are ordered. The proposed markup coefficient shall not exceed 10%. The markup coefficient does not apply to in-house labor already included in the contract price.

B.2.4 Markup For Construction Services Pricing for any construction conducted under this contract will be based upon the most current Facilities Construction Cost with RSMeans Data (hereafter referred to as the RSMeans data). The RSMeans data will be used for the duration of this contract unless otherwise directed by the CO or designee. The Government reserves the right to change from RSMeans data to an equivalent matrix. Compensation may be negotiated if an equivalent matrix is required.

The version of RSMeans data that is current at the date of contract award shall be utilized until each option period is exercised. Thereafter, the calendar year edition/version of RSMeans data that is current on the date that each option period is exercised shall be utilized. This data (hard copy or ebook) may be purchased through:

RSMeans 1099 Hingham Street, Suite 201 Rockland, MA 02370 1-800-334-3509 https://www.rsmeans.com/products/books.aspx

The “Total Incl O&P” cost from the RSMeans data, when multiplied by the Offeror’s percentage, will establish the Task Order pricing. The “Total Incl O&P” cost of a unit of work will be determined by the RSMeans column entitled “Total Incl O&P”, NOT the column entitled “Bare Cost”.

The City Cost Index from the RSMeans data will NOT be applied to the “Total Incl O&P” costs. Any adjustment for location must be included in the Offeror’s percentage.

EXAMPLE: A percentage of 0.85 would result in 85 percent of the listed “Total Incl O&P” cost when establishing pricing with the Task Order; and 1.00 would leave the actual “Total Incl O&P” cost values as your proposed pricing.

Firm-Fixed Price Job Order Example: The following sample calculations illustrate how Task Order pricing will be established using the RSMeans data and contractor’s percentage. All percentages, “Total Incl O&P” costs, and dollar figures are fictitious and only used to demonstrate this example.

“Total Incl O&P” Cost (Labor, Material and Equipment) $10,000.00 Percentage (Base Year) - @ 85% x 0.85

TOTAL JOB ORDER PRICE $8,500.00

The Contractor’s percentage (in decimal form) shall be an increase or decrease to the RSMeans data. The offeror shall limit the percentage to two (2) decimal places.

B.3 Contractor Staffing Declaration Figure B-1, Contractor Staffing Declaration, must be completed by the contractor and submitted to the Contracting Officer (CO) 21 calendar days prior to the contract start date. This form must also be submitted to the CO when any modifications to the contract by GSA result in changes in staffing. A blank Figure B-1 is included as part of the solicitation.

B.4 Wage Adjustment Wage adjustments will be considered at the beginning of each renewal option period, if exercised, in accordance with FAR 52.222-43 Fair Labor Standards Act and Service Contract Act – Price Adjustment (Multi-year and Option Year).

Figure B-2, SCA DOL/CBA Combination Wage Adjustment Spreadsheet is a sample worksheet to illustrate how wage adjustments will be calculated as a result of changes in wages that result from Department of Labor Wage Determinations or Collective Bargaining Agreements. A blank Figure B-2 in Section J is included as part of the solicitation.

Wage adjustments will only be considered for disciplines as proposed, approved, and verified as currently working on the contract at the time of the wage adjustment. In accordance with FAR 52.222-43 the contractor must request the wage adjustment and shall provide all relevant supporting data, including payroll records to reflect the Contractor's actual increase or decrease in applicable wages and fringe benefits to the extent that the increase is made to comply with or the decrease is voluntarily made by the Contractor as a result of The Department of Labor wage determination applicable on the anniversary date of the multiple year contract, or at the beginning of the renewal option period.

Relevant supporting data includes but is not limited to: All payroll data showing the previous amounts paid to employees; documentation of contract work hours;

documentation supporting payroll taxes and workers compensation; fringe benefit cost support.

B.5 Addition/Removal of Buildings GSA may add or remove buildings from this contract at any time. For a building to be added to the contract, GSA will provide the building information to the Contractor and request a price proposal from the Contractor for the requested services in line with the current pricing. At this time, there is no anticipation to add or delete any additional facilities to this contract. However, if there are any facilities added, they will not exceed 20% of the total contract dollar value, including options.

B.5.1 Long Term Reduction OR Addition of Space (Custodial) When blocks of cleanable space of any size are expected to remain unoccupied for at least 180 calendar days, the contractor shall propose a price per square foot that will be applied when the government reduces or adds space. The square foot price shall include all applicable costs (i.e., labor, materials, supplies, equipment, general and administrative costs, supervision, subcontracts, profit, etc.). (Ref. G.7.12)

B.6 Addition/Reduction of Staffing Staffing levels proposed and accepted at the time of award shall not be reduced through the life of the contract (unless adjusted by contract modification due to change in scope, such as discussed in B.5). At the end of each contract year, and at the request of the contractor, GSA will consider a request from the contractor for a reduction in staffing, and will be based on contractor performance.

B.7 Secondary Area of Performance

a. On an occasional basis, or in an emergency situation, work may also include locations in the Secondary Contract Areas. The Secondary Contract Areas consist of the States of Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. The Secondary Contract Areas are, or may be, awarded as Primary Contract Area(s) under separate contract(s) to other contractors. In addition, the Secondary Contract Areas of this contract may also be Secondary Contract Areas under other contracts.

b. Services shall be provided under this contract within the Secondary Contract Areas only if ordered by the Government. However, the Government shall have no obligation to order services to be performed under this contract within the Secondary Contract Areas, and its failure to order any such services shall not breach or otherwise violate this contract. The contractor is not obligated to perform work within the Secondary Contract Areas, and its failure to accept any such services shall not breach or otherwise violate this contract.

SECTION C: DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK

SECTION C1

GENERAL INFORMATION

C.1.0 General This is a Performance Based Work Statement (PBWS) for Services which may include Custodial and Facilities Engineering: Operations, Maintenance, and Related Services defined under the scope of this contract. This PBWS describes the minimum requirements of the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) and acceptable outcomes to be performed by the Contractor. All, or part of, the successful offeror’s Management Plan shall be incorporated into the contract.

GSA seeks to establish a partnering relationship with the Contractor to accomplish the program objectives in this contract. The objective of the partnering process is to provide an effective problem-finding/problem-solving management team composed of personnel from both parties, thus creating a single culture with one set of goals and objectives.

Partnering requires that both parties recognize and address those opportunities and challenges that shall be confronted to help maintain the health of the Contractor/GSA relationship. The relationship is based on trust, dedication to common goals, and an understanding of each other's individual expectations and values. The team shall consider utilizing a facilities engineering and systems thinking approach to provide solutions from a global perspective. The outcome of this initiative is for GSA to leverage Contractor expertise to assist GSA in accomplishing these goals and objectives.

GSA intends to purchase Contractor provided technical and managerial expertise to assist in the holistic management of assets over the long term. This program strategy has taken the name “facilities engineering” and has proven to be a successful model resulting in efficient and effective management of assets while maintaining a lower overall cost of operations. The facilities engineering model is dependent upon an effective partnership with a highly skilled Contractor whose objectives are based on mutual understanding of the stated requirements and objectives. A higher level of effective communication between the Government and Contractor is essential for partnering and for this performance-based service contract to succeed. More emphasis is placed on the Contractor’s self-management of quality, not the usual inspection by Government inspectors, although that is a part of this contract as well. All parties shall act proactively to reduce service cost.

To establish a standard of facilities engineering practices, thought processes and problem solving throughout the model, GSA established a program philosophy rooted in “systems thinking” whereby the means and methods for providing building operations and maintenance and custodial services are established through investigations, metrics, and feedback loops, and by establishing a partnership between the Government and Contractor to achieve joint performance objectives. The goal of applying systems thinking to facility management is to see that every action or decision in operating, maintaining, retrofitting and cleaning a building shall result in an impact (financial, environmental or human resource, or any combination thereof), and to evaluate the “full circle” implications. Long term application of systems thinking throughout GSA has resulted in both Contractor and Government joint command of short-term and long-term cohesive management of real property assets.

GSA is committed to Federal leadership in the design, construction, and operation of high-performance and sustainable buildings. A major element of this strategy is the implementation of common strategies for cleaning, operating and maintaining buildings.

As a result, this contract requires the Contractor to participate and partner with the Government in the initiative of obtaining high performance and sustainable operations, inclusive of initiatives to conserve energy and water consumption, recycling programs, meeting or exceeding specific environmental, regulatory, or performance standards, and the utilization of green products and services. The following sections detail the GSA minimum requirements and acceptable outcomes. The Contractor shall closely monitor all aspects of the work, identify deficiencies and implement corrective action, without reliance on Government oversight.

The work specified in this specification shall be in accordance with all Federal, State, county and city laws, codes, and ordinances and shall follow the more stringent of them. In addition to compliance with these laws, the Contractor shall follow all applicable standard industry practices including, but not limited to, the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) and NIBS.

To the extent possible and consistent with EO 13788, the Contractor shall maximize the use of goods, products and materials that are produced in the United States.

C.1.1 Scope of Work The Contractor shall provide management, supervision, labor, materials, equipment, and supplies (shipping & handling) without interrupting tenant operations and shall be responsible for the efficient, effective, economical, and satisfactory operation, scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, repair of equipment and systems, custodial, grounds maintenance, and all related services located within the property line of the following locations. The term and effects of ‘Lifecycle’ does not reduce or prevent the contractor’s responsibility to repair and maintain all equipment, buildings, appliances or any other requirements under this contract.

FULL MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS:

U S Border Station, Rio Grande Road, Del Rio, TX, Site 07020838 U S Probation, 513 Qualia Drive, Del Rio, TX, Building TX0831DR

OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS:

Border Station – Bridge 1, 160 E Garrison Street, Eagle Pass, TX 07020839 Border Station – Bridge 2, 500 Adams, Eagle Pass, TX 07020852

Additional services (or Above Standard Services) may be ordered at the discretion of GSA for work relating to the scope of the facilities listed above, but not covered in the basic services of the contract. Government furnished items are specifically excluded in this contract, except as specified in C.3.

C.1.1.1 Discrepancy in the Specifications

In any case of discrepancy in the specifications, the matter shall be immediately submitted to the Contracting Officer (CO). The decision of the CO as to the proper interpretation of the specifications shall be final in accordance with the Disputes Clause of this Contract.

C.1.2 Personnel The Contractor shall adhere to the submitted staffing plan and subcontracting plan that was submitted prior to award as part of the initial proposal. Contractor shall submit the staffing/subcontractor plan that provides sufficient numbers of staff at the various levels of expertise to ensure all scheduled and unscheduled services are performed and conditions are maintained to avoid any disruption to the tenant.

Management Plan Worksheet/Staffing Plan:

Figure L-1, Management Plan Worksheet includes the government’s baseline manpower projection. The projection is not intended to mandate the staffing plan and/or labor mix utilized to fulfill this requirement. The offeror may elect to propose any alternative that will fulfill the requirement of this solicitation. If the offeror elects to deviate from the government’s manpower projection, the offeror must submit a Worksheet Narrative explaining how their proposed manpower approach will meet the requirements of the solicitation.

The staffing/labor mix proposed in the Management Plan Worksheet are the minimum labor/staff requirements of the contract and must be adhered to for the contract period of performance. The offeror may request an annual review of the staffing plan, labor mix or any changes to the proposed staffing levels, qualifications of proposed staff or key personnel, or the areas of expertise or disciplines of the proposed staff shall be submitted for review and approval from the CO or their designee 60 days prior to issuance of the first Option Period. Any requests for changes to the Management Plan Worksheet may be submitted and considered at that time. Any approved adjustment to the labor mix will not result in an increase in price. However, any request to reduce manpower may result in a lower price to be negotiated at time of request. Any deviation from the accepted/approved Management Plan Worksheet may result in deductions.

The government retains the right to accept and/or reject any proposed personnel, based on any past performance or information deeming an individual unsuitable for employment or admission into a Federal facility.

C.1.2.1 Contractor Key Personnel

The intent of this paragraph is to be for informational purposes only and is not to be considered prescribed positions by the Government. However, the Contractor shall adhere to the below minimum qualifications when the positions are utilized and proposed in the Management Plan and filled under this contract.

Resumes for Key Personnel shall be submitted with the contractor’s proposal as described in Section L.12. Key Personnel for the purpose of submission of resumes with the contractor’s technical proposal are defined as the following positions:

1. Contract Project Manager

2. Onsite Chief Engineer

3. Custodial Supervisor

The Contractor agrees to assign the contract tasks to those persons whose resumes were submitted with the proposal, and who are necessary to fulfill the requirements of the contract as "key personnel". No substitutions may be made except in accordance with this section.

If the offeror proposes to use any employee from the incumbent’s staff in a key personnel role, the offeror may request a substitution within 30 calendar days after award by providing a resume, for approval from the CO or designee, they must demonstrate full compliance with the contract requirements. It is noted that the contract requirements of the incumbent contract may not be consistent with the current contract, therefore the contractor must ensure the proposed employee meets the minimum requirements. The government has the right to accept and/or reject any proposed personnel and/or key personnel based on past performance under any contract that the government is aware of or becomes aware of, and/or lack of qualifications. This option for substitution of employee(s) is NOT in lieu of submitting resumes of proposed key personnel at the time of proposal submission.
