C. DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATION/WORK STATEMENT

Section C Page 8

General Scope of Work

The Contractor shall provide inspection services for the elevators listed in the attached Equipment Data Sheet for the GSA building(s) located above. The term “Elevator” when used in this scope of work shall cover any A17.1 and A18.1 code compliant equipment such as escalators, dumbwaiter, and related equipment in the elevator inventory list.

The contracted elevator inspector is responsible for witnessing and certifying the tests in accordance with the ANSI/ASME A17.1 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators. Inspection procedures shall be in accordance with the ANSI/ASME A17.2 Guide for Inspection of Elevators, Escalators, and Moving Walks.

The qualified elevator inspector (QEI-1) shall be ANSI/ASME QEI-1 certified in accordance with the latest ASME’s Qualification for Elevator Inspectors Standards. A minimum of 10 years as an active certified elevator inspector is required for any contract employee who will be performing the ASME A17.1 and A18.1 safety code inspections. The certified elevator inspector must be a current, active status QEI-1 and in good standing with his or her ANSI/ASME certifying organization.

Photocopies of the elevator inspector’s current QEI-1 card will be required for the Government’s Regional Equipment Specialist’s review. The Government will conduct reference checks to determine all professional staff qualifications prior to award. Submit requested certification documents and employee information with your proposals.

Scheduling for Work

The elevator inspection service contractor shall contact the GSA Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) at the GSA East Bay Field Office to establish the day and time of the inspections.

The GSA COR shall notify the elevator maintenance service contractor, in writing, of the exact scheduled date(s) and time(s) for the inspections as soon as they are confirmed.

Inspections and tests shall be conducted during normal business hours for this building. Any inspections and tests that need to be conducted after hours or on weekends must be approved by the COR. This would be done with no additional cost to the Government.

If the elevator maintenance services contractors are no-shows, unprepared for the scheduled inspections, do not conduct the tests, or delay the inspector and inspections, GSA will hold them responsible for the additional costs incurred by the QEI firm’s inspectors to reschedule and return to the buildings.

Emergency Tests & Inspections

The Government’s work request can and will often require the Elevator Inspection firms to answer questions by phone, provide immediate field response, follow-up code inspections, and re-inspections.

This scope of work service requires the successful firm to be able to provide this service as part of the original scope of work. Additional travel costs or charges will not be accepted by the Government for these re-inspections so the Contractor’s proposal should identify separately the anticipated costs associated for follow-up site inspections and related work.

There may be safety tests and inspections required of the elevator equipment covered by this contract at times other than as scheduled due to unforeseen events and emergencies such as earthquakes, flood, Section C Page 9 acts of terrorism, and other disasters. These tests and inspections shall be negotiated on a case-by-case basis between the Government and elevator inspection service contractor. Tests and inspections conducted shall evaluate and certify the condition of the systems in accordance with the ANSI/ASME A17.1 and A18.1 codes.

Reporting Requirements

The inspector shall fully debrief the COR of all findings and noteworthy observations.

If the elevator(s) did not pass inspection, the COR shall be notified both verbally at the time of the visit and in writing.

The inspector’s findings and report format must be similar to the ANSI/ASME A17.2 “Inspection Checklist” in Appendix A. The reports must have information applicable to the type of vertical transportation equipment inspected, as well as the inspector’s QEI certification number, printed name and signature. The reports shall be completed and submitted to the COR within the timeframe stated in the scope of work purchase order.

The original is to be provided to the COR. A copy of all QEI-1 reports must be submitted to the Regional Equipment Specialist at the email address listed below.

A GSA Form 55, “Certificate of Elevator Inspection” (Attachment 2), shall be completed and signed following the safety inspections. This certificate of inspection is filed on site at the building manager’s office.

Liability on Tests

The elevator inspection service contractor will not be liable for damage to Government equipment being tested when the damage results directly from and as a result of the tests specified in this contract and not due to negligence by the inspection contractor, his agents, or employees.

Inspections and Tests by the Government

All inspections performed by the elevator inspection service contractor shall be subject to re-inspection and examination by Government inspectors at any and all times.

Interference with Business

The COR shall be consulted as to the manner of starting the inspection work so as to cause a minimum of interference with the building’s occupants and the public. Inspections shall be carried out in a manner such that there will be no interruption to or interference with the proper execution of Government business.

Special Requirements and Verification of Elevator Equipment

The Firefighters’ Service Emergency Operations Phase I and Phase II shall also be tested and inspected on all elevators with the firefighters’ key-operated switches.

The elevators may be undergoing modernization, renovation, or emergency repairs during the months of the scheduled ASME A17.1 inspections. The elevator inspector’s responsibility, under this scope of work, is to conduct QEI inspections. If the QEI is unable to inspect the equipment due to construction, GSA may reschedule the required ASME A17.1 tests for a later date.

Section C Page 10

The information submitted in the attached elevator equipment inventory is subject to change due to modernization upgrades, replacements, or construction activity. The QEI shall indicate, in his or her reports, the new information as it applies to the elevator equipment such as changes in car speeds, type of use (freight elevator is now a service elevator), the new hydraulic elevator is a different manufacturer from the old one, etc. Any concerns or questions shall be brought to the immediate attention of the local property management office’s GSA Property Manager and the regional equipment specialist.

DEFINITIONS

- Imminent Danger – Description of condition for a unit, which, in the professional judgment of a qualified inspector, poses a threat of accident or failure in such a manner that, could cause death or serious injury to persons or sizable damage to property.

NOTE: If an “imminent danger” condition exists or the equipment is unsafe, circumstances must be reviewed by the Customer Service Center Manger. The unit shall not be placed back in service until written certification is provided to that Manager assuring that the unit is safe for operation.

- Unit - Any individual type of vertical transportation equipment such as passenger, service or freight elevators, escalators, lifts, dumbwaiters, window washers, and wall gliders.

- Elevator Maintenance Personal- A GSA representative or other GSA contracted entity performing elevator maintenance service.

INSPECTORS

Critical to performance of this Scope of Work (SOW) are the positions identified as inspectors or inspection personnel and the experience of the people in those positions. The proposed inspection personnel will reflect and understand the different skill sets necessary as well as the different functions to be performed.

ASME A17.1, Sections 8.10.1.1 and 8.11.1.1, requires inspectors and inspection supervisors to be certified by an organization accredited by ASME in accordance with the requirements contained in the most recent edition of the ASME QEI “Standard for the Qualification of Elevator Inspectors".

The Offeror shall identify and provide resumes and copies of required QEI Certificates of those personnel in inspector positions. New copies of “Re-Certified” QEI Certificates shall be provided annually, after the recertification of the credential, to the CO & COTR for verification of QEI-1 requirements.

Personnel Changes/Additions

Should it become necessary to replace or add inspection personnel, the Offeror shall submit to the Contracting Officer (CO), the resume and copies of required certificates. No changes shall be made until written approval is

Section C Page 11 granted by the CO. No increase in the cost of this contract will be allowed when such addition or change of personnel is authorized.

SECURITY CLEARANCE

SECURITY REQUIREMENTS AND PERSONAL IDENTITY VERIFICATION PROCEDURES

A. GENERAL: The Contractor shall comply with directions provided by the Contracting Officer (CO) regarding all security requirements. All contract employees shall receive a favorable suitability determination, security clearance, and/or meet all security requirements, prior to reporting to work or performing work under this contract. Employees that cannot obtain a favorable security determination, security clearance, or meet security requirements, will not be allowed to work in the Government facility.

If the Contracting Officer or his/her representative receives an unfavorable or unsuitable report on any employee, or if the Contracting Officer's Representative finds a prospective employee to be unsuitable or unfit for his/her assigned duties, the Contractor shall be advised immediately that such employee will not be allowed to work or be assigned to work under the contract.

B. The Government has full and complete control over granting, denying, withholding or terminating clearances for employees. The Government may authorize and grant temporary clearance to employees of the Contractor. However, the granting of a temporary clearance shall not be considered, as assurance that full clearance will follow. The granting of either temporary or full clearance shall not prevent, preclude, or bar the withdrawal or termination of any such clearance by the Government.

C. HOMELAND SECURITY PRESIDENTIAL DIRECTIVE (HSPD)-12: HSPD-12 is the “Policy for a

Common Identification Standard for Federal Employees and Contractors” (the Directive) and became effective August 5, 2005. The Directive requires all Federal governmental departments and agencies to conduct background investigations and adjudicate the results (HSPD-12 compliant suitability determinations) for all contract employees requiring routine unescorted access to Federally-controlled facilities and/or information systems for more than 6 months before identification cards will be issued.

Contract employees working less than 6 months will be considered “temporary” and all facility access control procedures will apply. GSA may require low risk suitability determinations for “temporary” employees, or has the option of clearing “temporary” contractors with an HSPD-12 compliant suitability determination. “Temporary” contract employees that are not required to receive a favorable suitability determination shall be escorted at all times while in non-public space.

The Contractor shall comply with guidance concerning implementation of this Directive as provided herein and by the Contracting Officer (CO).

D. The Government may, as it deems appropriate, authorize and grant temporary suitability determinations to employees of the Contractor. 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 as a result or condition thereof, and the granting of either temporary or full determination shall in no way prevent, preclude or bar the withdrawal or termination of any such determination by the Government.

E. Depending on the contract and work, a full Notice-to Proceed shall be issued after the initial favorable preliminary suitable clearance process is completed for those required to work on the contract OR partial Notice-To-Proceed shall be issued as the favorable preliminary suitable clearance process is completed for phases of work under the contract in or on the Federally-controlled facility. Contract workers may be added throughout the performance period required by

Section C Page 12 the contract, but must complete the clearance process prior to working in or on the Federally-controlled facility.

F. PERSONAL IDENTITY VERIFICATION OF OR PERSONNEL: The Contractor shall comply with agency personal identity verification procedures that implement Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 (HSPD-12) as required by the clause of this FAR 52.204-9 and all other security and clearance requirements provided herein and by the Contracting Officer (CO).

G. GSAM 552.237-71 QUALIFICATIONS OF EMPLOYEES (MAY 1989): The Contracting Officer or a designated representative may require the Contractor to remove any employee(s) from GSA controlled buildings or other real property should it be determined that the individual(s) is either unsuitable for security reasons or otherwise unfit to work on GSA controlled property.

The Contractor shall fill out and cause each of his employees on the contract work to fill out, for submission to the Government, such forms, as may be necessary for security or other reasons.

Each employee of the Contractor shall be a citizen of the United States of America, or an alien who has been lawfully admitted for permanent residence as evidenced by Alien Registration Receipt Card, Form I-151. The employee may also present other evidence from the Immigration and Naturalization Service that employment will not affect his immigration status.

H. REQUIRED INFORMATION SUBMISSIONS Unless otherwise specified, the Contractor shall submit the information required below to the Government, as directed by the CO, as soon as possible after award (but not later than 14 calendar days before start date) for all personnel.

The following information will be submitted to the Government for all new or replacement personnel not later than 14 calendar days before beginning contract work. The CO will advise the Contractor on where this information will be submitted.

(1) All employees (including employees, sub employees, and officers of the firm) requiring unescorted access to federally controlled facilities and/or information systems for more than 6 months, and/or who may visit the work site during the period of this who need unescorted access shall submit the following:

(a) One copy of the FPS “or Information Sheet” which will be provided to the Contractor at time of award. The Contractor shall complete the Contractor and Contractor Applicant Information Sections as directed by the Government.

(b) One original copy of completed SF 85P with original signature, Questionnaire for Public Trust Positions, with SF 86A, Continuation Sheet.

(1) The Contractor Applicant’s full name;

(6) If applicable, the subcontractor, name, address and telephone number; and

J. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE CLEARANCE PROCESS

(1) Name Check and Fingerprint Check. Upon receipt of the sealed envelope containing the required forms, the Government will forward each clearance package to the clearance processing office for initial processing. A preliminary review will be conducted of various national criminal and security data files. If these checks are favorable the Contractor employee may be granted limited access to Federally-controlled facilities and Federal information systems with a preliminary favorable suitability determination. This process takes approximately 3 to 10 business days but could take longer.

(2) For Contractor employees who receive a favorable preliminary check as described above, and depending on the location and type of work to be performed, a more detailed agency check may also be initiated. The check may include record searches with selected sources covering specific areas of the employee’s background, including credit, and written inquiries covering specific areas of the employee’s background.

(3) Issuance of Identification Credential. Upon receipt of favorable suitability determination, each contract employee may be issued a 5-year identification credential in accordance with the federally-controlled facility procedures and, if applicable, be granted access to those Federal information systems necessary to accomplish the Contract. A temporary ID may be issued after a preliminary favorable suitability determination. The Contractor shall ensure that all contract employees display their credentials in accordance with facility procedures. The Contractor shall also ensure that such credentials are returned to the government as employees are dismissed, terminated, or upon expiration of the contract. The Contactor will be assessed a fee for each identification credential that is lost or otherwise not returned.

(4) Unsuitable Employees. If the Government receives an unsuitable report on any prospective Contractor employee, or if the Government finds a prospective Contractor employee to be otherwise unsuitable or unfit for his assigned duties, the Contractor shall be advised immediately by the CO that such employee will not be allowed to work under this contract. The Contractor must then take action immediately to relieve the employee of all duties and responsibilities related to this contract and return his Identification Credentials, if such credentials were issued. The Contractor will not be compensated for such actions. Unsuitable employees may be escorted off Federal property by DHS/ICE/FPS or other law enforcement entities depending on the reason for the unsuitable determination.

(5) Site-Specific Requirements. Specific federally-controlled facilities or those areas located within a given facility may have additional security clearance requirements in addition to those cited above. These will be specified by the Government through the CO or designated representative.

Section C Page 14

(6) Prior Clearances and the Re-Clearance Process. All employees are required to be cleared every 5 years and favorable contract employee background investigations are good for 5 years.

If anytime during a 5 year period, a cleared contract employee is to work on a different contract that they were previously cleared to work on, then the original clearance notices must be submitted by the CO or his representative to DHS/ICE/FPS to update and clearance information. During the 5 year period, unless specifically requested to do so by the CO or designated representative, no further forms or information will be required from the Contractor.

However, if threat levels or security conditions change during the cleared period, access and clearance requirements may change with limited advanced notice which may require previously cleared Contractor employees to have clearances updated, renewed, or reprocessed.

K. IDENTIFICATION CREDENTIAL

(1) Upon receipt of favorable suitability determination as indicated herein, each employee of the Contractor will be issued an identification credential. At all times while working on the contract a contract employee, including subcontractor employees, must have in his/her possession the specific Government identification credential issued to them by the Government. The identification credential shall be displayed and be visible at all times while on Government property. The COR, GSA personnel designated by him/her, Government law enforcement, or security personnel shall periodically verify passes of Contractor employees with their personnel identification. Contractor employees shall comply with security verification procedures at all times.

(2) The Contractor shall see that every contract employee has a Government issued identification credential before the employee enters on duty. As required by the Government, the Contractor shall make his employees available for photo identification badges, on a schedule to be worked out with the Contracting Officer’s Representative. The Government will make the identification credentials badges after a favorable security determination has been received for the Contractor’s employees. Each identification credential shall have an expiration date and Contractor employees shall sign each badge at the time of photographing.

(3) The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that all identification credentials are returned to the Contracting Officer's Representative as his employees leave the contract (contract is completed, employees leave employment of the company, employees are dismissed or terminated). The Contractor will notify the Contracting Officer’s Representative when employee badges are lost.

L. ESCORT REQUIREMENTS: It may be necessary to escort temporary employees that do not have favorable preliminary or final suitability determinations and must work in Federally-controlled space. In those cases, ALL uncleared employees must be escorted in non-public space by a Government employee or another responsible cleared employee that is approved by the Contracting Officer or his/her designee. Other Government agencies may have specific agency security requirements for their own space that may only allow escort by Government employees or those designated by their agency. Government employees or approved cleared employees that provide escorts for uncleared contract employees must always be in close proximity and eyesight of the uncleared contract employee. The Government escort must watch uncleared contract employees and remain with uncleared contract employees for the entire time they are in the building and/or Federally-controlled space. An uncleared contract employee cannot be left alone or out of eyesight at any time they are in non-public space. A cleared and approved escort may not bring several uncleared contract employees, into Federally-controlled space, that are not within close proximity or eyesight at all times. A cleared and approved escort may not have multiple

Section C Page 15 uncleared contract employees in non-public space on different parts of one floor or different floors at the same time. Any security violation of escort requirements by a cleared and approved Government employee will result in immediate removal from the contract of all employees involved, i.e., escorts and uncleared contract escorted employees. Also, violations of escort requirements by contract employees in accordance with security requirements may be grounds for termination of the contract.

M. STANDARDS OF CONDUCT: The Contractor shall be responsible for maintaining satisfactory standards of employee competency, conduct, appearance, and integrity and shall be responsible for taking such disciplinary action with respect to his employees as may be necessary. The Contractor is responsible for ensuring that his employees do not disturb papers on desks, open desk drawers or cabinets, or use Government telephones, except as authorized. Each employee is expected to adhere to standards of behavior that reflect favorably on his/her employer, and the Federal Government. No smoking is allowed in the building.

N. Under the following conditions, the Contracting Officer or his/her representative may request the

Contractor to immediately remove any employee(s) from the work site.

When a Contracting Officer is not available, either during the day or after hours, or in situations where a delay would not be in the best interest of the Government or is identified as a potential threat to the health, safety, security, general wellbeing or operational mission of the facility and its population, the Contracting Officer’s Representative will have the authority to immediately remove the contract employee from the work site.

Law enforcement officers of the DHS/ICE/Federal Protective Service will have the authority to immediately remove any contract employee from the work site who is found to be in violation of any of the items mentioned above and where a delay in removal would not be in the best interest of the Government, security, or is identified as a potential threat to the health, safety, security, general well being or operational mission of the facility and its population. The Contracting Officer will be notified as soon after the incident as practical or at the beginning of the next business day if an action happened after hours.
