Section A - Solicitation/Contract Form Clauses

In accordance with AMS T3.2.2.3 (A), with this SIR, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) intends to establish a Qualified Vendors List (QVL) for AJW-242 Unstaffed Infrastructure Sustainment (UIS) construction services to be performed on and off Airport Operating Areas in various locations throughout the United States.

This QVL SIR consists of the following Parts/Sections:

Part I - The Schedule Section A: Solicitation Index Section B: General Information about the QVL Section C: Scope of Work Section D: Packaging and Marking Section E: Inspection and Acceptance Section F: Deliveries or Performance Area Section G: Contract Administration Data Section H: Special Contract Requirements

Part II - Contract Clauses Section I: Contract Clauses

Part III - List of Documents, Exhibits, and Attachments Section J List of Documents, Exhibits, and Attachments *

Part IV - Representations and Instructions Section K: Representations, Certifications and Other Statements of Offerors Section L: Application Instructions, Conditions, and Notices to Offerors Section M: Evaluation Factors for Award

* Attachments located after end of Section M.

Section B - Supplies or Services/Prices Section B - Schedule

General Information about the QVL

B.1 What is a Qualified Vendors List (QVL) A Qualified Vendors List (QVL) is a list of service or product providers who have had their products or services examined, tested or evaluated and who have satisfied all applicable qualification requirements. QVLs are intended as a mechanism to establish a pool of qualified vendors, any of which FAA would be satisfied with the products delivered or services performed. Pre-screening vendors allows only those most qualified contractors to perform a particular service or provide a particular product during a specific period. QVLs are most appropriate when the contracting office can reasonably anticipate recurring or repetitive requirements for the same or similar supplies or services.

The Contracting Officer has established one QVL for AJW-242 Unstaffed Infrastructure Sustainment (UIS) construction services in the Western, Central and Eastern Service Areas for On-Airport Operations Area (On-AOA) and Off-AOA projects, 6973GH-25-R-00167.

B.2 Why a QVL AAQ-720 selected a QVL because the source selection tool provides solutions to: (1) ensuring employment of quality, experienced contractors; and (2) addressing the need for quicker, more responsive procurements.

With regards to employment of quality, experienced contractors - This effort is a culmination of experience and knowledge in all three service areas. AAQ-720 took all of the combined lessons learned, and crafted a solicitation that focused on the quality of vendors.

With regards to procurement action lead times (PALT) -The 2012 Service Level Agreement between ACQ and ATO agrees to a timeline of between 88 and 177 calendar days for negotiated, competitive procurements. This is the often-hated “180 days”. By comparison, QVL-based procurements have a timeline of between 60 to 120 calendar days. In other words, a QVL reduces the procurement timeline by roughly a third. This source selection tool helps to alleviate some of that concern.

In addition to the procurement timeline savings, there are other unquantifiable benefits to QVLs. For instance, in a QVL setting, there is an inherent performance incentive for contractors: future work is dependent upon current, successful performance. As a result, there should also be an additional time/administrative cost savings: less time spent enforcing specifications or correcting performance.

B.3 Duration of the QVL The QVL will be in effect for five (5) years.

B.4 Requalification/Updating the QVL Application Process The FAA reserves the right to add vendors or update the list at any time. There will be an official requalification/reopening of the application process at some time after the initiation of this QVL to allow new vendors an opportunity to apply. At that time, members may be asked to confirm their continued interest to remain on the list, or opt out of the list, by responding in writing. A non-response will be viewed as lack of interest resulting in removal from the QVL.

B.5 Withdrawal from the QVL Members may, at any time, submit a written request to withdraw from the QVL.

B.6 Disqualification of the QVL The FAA reserves the right to disqualify and remove any member from the QVL at any time and for any reason including, but not limited to:

1. Poor quality of work as determined by the Contracting Officer

2. Debarment from Government Contracting

3. Failure to satisfy qualifying factors in subsequent RFQs

The FAA will provide the subject member with a Notification of Disqualification and the reasons for disqualification prior to removal from the QVL.

B.7 Canceling/Termination of the QVL If it is ever determined that the QVL is not in the best interest of the FAA, all members on the list will be provided with notice of termination.

B.8 Performance Difficulties If at any time, a vendor on an established QVL has performance difficulties, changes ownership, or otherwise becomes less than highly qualified, the CO may request that the vendor requalify by submitting qualification information again. A notification to the vendor of the reasons it is being required to requalify will be sent out.

B.9 Administration of the QVL

1. Once established, the Acquisitions Division will utilize the QVL for solicitations to the maximum extent possible.

2. The Contract Specialist (CS) will prepare the Request for Offer (RFO) or Request for Quote (RFQ) and ensure all applicable drawings and specifications are sent to each vendor on the QVL to obtain pricing. Each RFO or RFQ is prepared with clauses applicable to the particular requirement needed. The CS will evaluate proposals and make contract award in accordance with procedures outlined in the RFO or RFQ and AMS.

3. Offerors must be registered with the System for Award Management, www.sam.gov on the date established for receipt of offers on each individual order solicited under this QVL. The Offeror must ensure that their company's information on www.sam.gov is up to date, current business size level indicated on SAM will be applied for this QVL. Reference AMS Clause 3.3.1-33, paragraph (d), “if the offeror does not become registered in the SAM database in the time prescribed by the Contracting Officer, the Contracting Officer may proceed to award to the next otherwise successful registered Offeror.”

4. The Contract Specialist (CS) will conduct a review of each vendor's performance at a minimum of every two (2) years. The review will cover the vendor's performance over the previous 12 month period. The CS will evaluate all vendors for responsiveness, competitiveness, and performance.

(a) The policy of the FAA is to avoid doing business with contractors, subcontractors, and consultants who have a conflict of interest or an appearance of a conflict of interest. The purpose of this policy is to maintain the highest level of integrity within its workforce and to ensure that the award of procurement contracts is based upon fairness and merit.

(b) The contractor must provide to the Contracting Officer the following information with its proposal and must provide an information update within 30 days of the award of a contract, any subcontract, or any consultant agreement, or within 30 days of the retention of a Subject Individual or former FAA employee subject to this clause:

(2) The name of each individual, retained in any capacity by the contractor, who was employed by FAA during the five-year period immediately prior to the date of award; and

(3) The date on which the initial expression of interest in a future financial arrangement was discussed with the contractor by any former FAA employee whose name is required to be provided by the contractor pursuant to subparagraph (2); and

(4) The location where any Subject Individual or former FAA employee whose name is required to be provided by the contractor pursuant to subparagraphs (1) and (2), are expected to be assigned.

(c) "Subject Individual" means a current FAA employee's father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, first cousin, nephew, niece, husband, wife, father-in-law, mother-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, stepfather, stepmother, stepson, stepdaughter, stepbrother, stepsister, half brother, half sister, spouse of an in-law, or a member of his/her household.

(d) The contractor must incorporate this clause into all subcontracts or consultant agreements awarded under this contract and must further require that each such subcontractor or consultant incorporate this clause into all subcontracts or consultant agreements at any tier awarded under this contract unless the Contracting Officer determines otherwise.

(e) The information as it is submitted, must be certified as being true and correct. If there is no such information, the certification must so state.

(f) Remedies for nondisclosure: The following are possible remedies available to the FAA should a contractor misrepresent or refuse to disclose or misrepresent any information required by this clause:

(1) Termination of the contract.

(2) Exclusion from subsequent FAA contracts.

(3) Other remedial action as may be permitted or provided by law or regulation or policy or by the terms of the contract.

(h) The contractor agrees to include the substance of this clause in all subcontracts awarded under this contract. The Contracting Officer will consider case-by-case exceptions to this requirement for individual subcontracts in the event that: (1) the contractor considers this clause to be inappropriate and unnecessary in the case of a particular subcontract; (2) the contractor provides a written statement affirming absolute unwillingness of a subcontractor to perform, absent some relief from the substance of this prohibition and the reason why; (3) use of an alternate subcontract source would unreasonably detract from the quality of effort; and (4) the contractor provides the Contracting Officer timely written advance notice of these and any other extenuating circumstances.

(End of clause)

3.2.2.3-41 PERFORMING WORK (APR 2024)

The Contractor must perform, using its own organization, work equivalent to at least 51 percent of the total amount of work under the contract on the site. The CO may modify this contract to reduce this percentage if the Contractor requests a reduction and the CO determines that it would be to the FAA's advantage to do so.

(End of clause)

3.2.2.3-44 PHYSICAL DATA (JUL 2024)

Data and information the FAA provides or refers to below is for the Contractor's information. The FAA is not responsible for any interpretation or conclusions drawn from the data or information from the Contractor.

(b) Other relevant information it is the Contractor's responsibility to obtain weather patterns for the area, inspect the site in a manner which will provide the Contractor sufficient information concerning the site conditions in order to complete the project within the stated amount of time.

(End of clause)

3.2.2.3-50 PROPERTY PROTECTION (JUL 2024)

(a) The Contractor must construct and maintain any temporary fences, gates and other facilities needed to preserve crops, control livestock, and protect property. Before cutting a fence, the Contractor must take necessary precautions to prevent livestock from straying. The Contractor must prevent loss of tension in or damage to adjacent portions of the fence. The Contractor must immediately replace all fencing and gates cut, removed, damaged, or destroyed with new materials to the original standard. Undamaged gates may be reused.

(b) The Contractor must comply with the property owner's requests to leave gates open or closed.

(c) The Contractor must use all necessary precautions to avoid destroying surveying markers such as section corners, witness trees, property corners, mining claim markers, bench markers, triangulation stations, and the like. If the Contractor must destroy any marker, the Contractor must first notify the agency responsible for the marker, as well as the Contracting Officer's (CO) representative, and replace the markers.

(d) The Contractor must use care to prevent unnecessary damage to property in or near the work area caused by the Contractor's work. Unnecessary damage is that which the Contractor can avoid through efficient and careful performance of the work, considering the Contractor's land rights. If the Contractor damages any property, the Contractor must at once notify the owner or custodian and make or arrange to make prompt and full restitution.

(e) Maps and specifications the FAA provides may not give the location of all water supply, drainage, irrigation, and other underground facilities. Before entering a tract of land for contract purposes, the Contractor must determine from the property owner (or other reasonably available source) the location of any irrigation system, domestic water system, source of water, and drainage system existing on the property, whether serving that property or other property. The Contractor must avoid damaging or obstructing these facilities or polluting water supplies.

(f) The Contractor must hold the FAA harmless from any and all suits, actions, and claims for damages, including environmental impairment, to property arising from any of the Contractor's acts or omissions, the Contractor's subcontractors, or any of the Contractor's employees or subcontractor employees, in any way related to the work or operations under this contract.

(g) The Contractor must indemnify and hold harmless the property owners or parties lawfully in possession against all claims or liabilities asserted by third parties, including all governmental agencies, resulting directly or indirectly from the Contractor's wrongful or negligent acts or omissions.

(End of clause)

3.2.2.3-60 SPECIFICATIONS, DRAWINGS, AND MATERIAL OFFERS (JUL 2024)

(a) If either the specifications or the drawings (but not both) mention tasks, the Contractor must assume that the tasks are in both. If the drawings and specifications differ, the specifications govern. If there is a discrepancy in the figures, in the drawings, or in the specifications, the Contractor must submit the matter promptly to the Contracting Officer (CO), who will promptly determine which governs, and notify the Contractor in writing. Any adjustment made by the Contractor without the CO's determination is at the Contractor's own risk and expense. As needed, the CO will provide necessary detailed drawings and other information, unless otherwise provided.

(b) Wherever in the specifications or the drawings, the FAA uses "directed," "required," "ordered," "designated," "prescribed," or similar words, they refer to the CO's requirements. Similarly, "approved," "acceptable," "satisfactory," or similar words refer to the CO's approval, unless otherwise expressly stated. The Contractor must have a complete set of plans and specifications on-site and available for the FAA's use.

(c) Where the FAA uses "as shown," "as indicated," "as detailed," or similar words, they refer to the drawings accompanying this contract, unless stated otherwise. The word "provided" means "provided and installed."

(d) Omissions from the drawings and specifications or the erroneous description of details of work which are necessary to carry out the intent of the drawings and specifications, or which are customarily performed, does not relieve the Contractor from performing those omitted or erroneously described details of the work. The Contractor must perform them as if fully and correctly set forth and described in the drawings and specifications.

(e) The Contractor must check all drawings the FAA provides before starting work and must promptly notify the CO of any discrepancies. In general, the Contractor should follow figures marked on drawings, rather than scale measurements. In general, large-scale drawings have precedence over small-scale drawings. The Contractor must compare all drawings and verify the figures before laying out the work. If the Contractor does not verify the figures, the Contractor will be responsible for any errors that might have been avoided had it verified them.

(f) "Shop drawings" means drawings, the Contractor or any subcontractor submit to the FAA under a construction contract, showing in detail the proposed fabrication and assembly of structural elements and the installation (that is, form, fit, and attachment details) of materials or equipment. It includes drawings, diagrams, layouts, schematics, descriptive literature, illustrations, schedules, performance and test data, and similar materials the Contractor provided to explain in detail specific portions of the work the contract requires.

The FAA may duplicate, use, and disclose in any manner and for any purpose shop drawings you deliver under this contract.

(g) If this contract requires material offers (for example, shop drawings, catalog cuts, certificates of conformance), the Contractor must coordinate all of its offers, and review them for accuracy, completeness, and compliance with contract requirements. The Contractor must provide evidence that it approves the submittals. If the Contractor submits materials to the FAA without this evidence, the FAA may return them and ask the Contractor to resubmit the materials. The CO will indicate whether he or she approves or disapproves the offer, and if the CO does not approve it as submitted, will indicate the reasons for rejecting it. Any work done before the CO's approval is at the Contractor's risk. The CO's approval does not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for any errors or omissions in the submittals, nor from responsibility for complying with the contract requirements, except as described under (h).

(h) If the submittals vary from the contract requirements, the Contractor must describe the variations in writing, separate from the submittal, when it submits them. Send this description, a copy of the offer, and a proposal to incorporate it into the contract directly to the CO. If the CO approves a variation, the CO must issue an appropriate contract modification, unless the variation is minor or does not involve a change in price or in time of performance.

(i) The Contractor must submit to the CO for approval four copies (unless otherwise indicated) of all shop drawings as called for under the various headings of these specifications. The CO will keep three sets (unless otherwise indicated) of all offers and will return one set to the Contractor.

(j) The Contractor must insert this clause, with appropriate changes in the designation of the parties, in all subcontracts.
