SECTION B

SECTION B - SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICE/COSTS

NOTE: The following document has been automatically generated by an electronic system. Some errors in spacing, formatting and punctuation may have occurred throughout the document and are beyond our control.

B.1 SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED

MCC's strategic aim is to work with partner countries to achieve climate-resilient, low-carbon economic growth that manages and makes effective use of natural resources on a sustainable basis resulting in stronger communities. To that end, MCC seeks to strengthen the integration of climate considerations into its core business and update internal policies and practices to more fully embody our climate ambitions.

The scope of this requirement is to implement the Agency's Climate Change Strategy, strengthen MCC's ability to institutionalize climate considerations, leverage opportunities to have high-impact climate smart growth, and fully meet relevant Executive Orders. The contractor shall provide support for climate change integration and for opportunities for MCC to build capacity, learn from experiences, and advance thought leadership. The contract may also be used to support specific country programming consistent with MCC's overarching goal to reduce poverty by supporting low carbon, economic growth that is climate resilient, innovative, and consistent with our partner countries' climate aspirations.

The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform the tasks as defined in Section C of the Statement of Work.

The COVID-19 pandemic is impacting MCC's operations and as of this solicitation posting, the extent of the impact is not yet fully known. Due to this uncertainty, various aspects of the requirement terms may change (e.g., period of performance).

Should changes be necessary, the Government will determine whether they are material and whether to engage in communications with offerors.

This may lead to revisions in certain terms of this requirement in order to ensure tasks can proceed safely. In particular, activities involving international and/or domestic travel may be delayed and/or modified. MCC will only approve the start of fieldwork under this requirement once the target country relaxes social distancing and removes travel-related restrictions.

When in-country work begins, the contractor will be expected to take precautions to protect their staff, enumerators, respondents, and other stakeholders from COVID-19 exposure. This can include using face masks, checking enumerator temperatures daily before going out in the field, and considering the possibility of phone interviews rather than in-person interviews. Should any delays be necessary due to COVID-19, the contractor shall inform MCC as soon as possible to discuss the best course of action.

Please refer to the following resources for up-to-date information regarding COVID-19:

The Contractor shall perform services at their own offices, in MCC countries, to the extent practical, virtually, or as needed by

MCC.

F.2 DELIVERABLES

The contractor shall provide deliverables as requested, via Technical Direction, by the COR and/or PM.

F.3 DELIVERABLE FORMATS

All such reports are to be submitted in English or as requested by MCC, electronically using WINDOWS based MS-Office 2007 or later products including WORD for text, data tables in EXCEL, appropriate MS-Office 2003 or later programs for exhibits, and schedules using MS-Project.

GIS data should be submitted both in ArcView files, and PDF printable files. Presentations should be prepared with PowerPoint. All work files shall be submitted to MCC along with PDF files.

The Contractor shall establish and maintain a comprehensive reference index of all relevant documents reviewed by the Contractor. Any and all such documents made available and collected by the Contractor, will be compiled in usable form and delivered in an organized fashion to MCC at the end of the contract.

F.4 ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA

Deliverables will be evaluated according to the following criteria:

• Thoroughness and timeliness in complying with all of the elements in the tasks specified.

• Quality and clarity of analyses and work produced.

• Timeliness and efficacy of communications with the Core Team and relevant counterparts at MCC.

All reports are to be submitted in English, French or as requested by MCC in hard and electronic copy (in MS Word), with tables, data and calculations in MS Excel.

F.5 ESTIMATED TRAVEL

F.6 Timing and Reporting

All formal communication with MCC, including reports, will be submitted to the Contracting Officer Representative (COR). The COR for this requirement will be identified via separate correspondence.

The COR will have technical responsibility for monitoring the performance. The COR will review and evaluate the contract's performance, and also will coordinate any communications with relevant counterparts and other donor agencies and organizations.

Any change in the terms of the contract must be made in writing and approved by the Contracting Officer. No representation of the COR shall serve as a basis for an alteration in the general scope of this contract or of the terms and conditions of the contract unless confirmed in writing by the Contracting Officer. The contractor must communicate with the Contracting Officer on all matters that pertain to the contract terms. Proceeding with the work without proper contractual coverage could result in nonpayment for that work.

F.7 MCC TECHNICAL DIRECTION

The following provision may be followed:

Performance of the work under this contract is subject to the written technical direction of the Contracting Officer Representative (COR), and any Government Project Monitors (PM), who shall be specifically appointed, and responsibilities identified, by the Contracting Officer in writing in accordance with MCC policy. "Technical direction" means a directive to the Contractor that approves approaches, solutions, designs, or refinements; fills in details or otherwise completes the general description of work or documentation items; shifts emphasis among work areas or tasks; or furnishes similar instruction to the Contractor. Technical direction includes requiring studies and pursuit of certain lines of inquiry regarding matters within the general tasks and requirements in Section C of this contract, and any resulting Call Order.

The COR/Government PM does not have the authority to, and shall not, issue any instruction purporting to be technical direction that:

Constitutes an assignment of additional work outside the statement of work;

Constitutes a change as defined in the changes clause;

Constitutes a basis for any increase or decrease in the total estimated contract/Call Order cost, the fixed fee (if any), or the time required for contract/Call Order performance;

Changes any of the expressed terms, conditions, or specifications of the contract/Call Order; or

Interferes with the Contractor's rights to perform the terms and conditions of the contract/Call Order.

Technical direction may be oral or in writing; however, the COR or government PM shall confirm oral direction in writing within five workdays.

The Contractor shall proceed promptly with the performance of technical direction duly issued by the COR or PM in the manner prescribed by this clause and within the COR's/PM's authority. If, in the Contractor's opinion, any instruction or direction by the COR/PM falls within any of the categories defined in paragraph (b) of this clause, the Contractor shall not proceed but shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing within 5 workdays after receiving it (either orally or in writing, whichever comes first) and shall request the Contracting Officer to take action as described in this clause. Upon receiving this notification, the Contracting Officer shall either issue an appropriate contract/Task Order modification within a reasonable time or advise the Contractor in writing within 30 days that the instruction or direction is:

Rescinded in its entirety; or

Within the requirements of the contract/Task Order and does not constitute a change under the changes clause of the contract/Task Order, and that the Contractor should proceed promptly with its performance.

A failure of the Contractor and Contracting Officer to agree that the instruction or direction is both within the requirements of the contract/Task Order and does not constitute a change under the changes clause, or a failure to agree upon the contract action to be taken with respect to the instruction or direction, shall be subject to the Disputes clause of this contract.

Any action(s) taken by the Contractor in response to any direction given by any person other than the Contracting Officer or the COR/PM shall be at the Contractor's risk.

MCC 52.232-73 TRAVEL REIMBURSEMENT (MAY 2017)

Policy. When authorized as part of the Scope of Work on this contract/order and within the contract/order ceiling and as approved by the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) and/or other MCC officials as described below, travel expenses incurred in performance of technical directives issued under this contractor/order may be reimbursed as allowed by the Federal Travel Regulations (FTR) in effect at the time of travel. MCC's supplemental policy interpretations are derived from the FTR and cannot grant additional benefits or adjust processes defined in the FTR. Supplemental policies of MCC set forth below:

a) Traveler Responsibilities. All contractor travelers must:

1) Exercise the same care in incurring expenses that a prudent person would exercise if traveling on personal business;

2) Travel in accordance with the FTR and the MCC policies included in this document; and

3) Pay any charges or fees associated with non-compliance of FTR or any MCC policies included in this document, and any expenses incurred for personal convenience. For example, the traveler may become personally responsible for travel costs associated with unauthorized use of other than coach class accommodations, failing to follow the Fly American Act requirements, exceeding per diem rates, changing departure or return flights, purchasing unapproved items, etc. regardless of the fact that travel arrangements may have been booked by others (e.g., Travel Agency).

b) Cabin Class Standards

1) The standard cabin class for contractor air-travel is coach class, regardless of destination or travel time.

2) Coach "premium" class may be authorized for destinations which have a travel time of more than 14 hours, consistent with the Federal Travel Regulations and the approval standards outlined in paragraph (f) of this document.

3) Business class travel accommodations will NOT be authorized except as determined through the approval process outlined in paragraph (f) of this document. This approval process is considered to be exceptional, to be part of a trip by trip analysis, and at the discretion of the government regardless of the destination or travel time.

c) Airlines and Flights. In accordance with the Fly America Act, contractors must use a U.S. flag air carrier service for all travel funded by the government beginning or ending in the U.S. unless a specific exemption to the "Fly America" rule applies. Flights on U.S. air carrier pairings with foreign carriers (i.e., code share flights) are regarded as meeting Fly America requirements if the ticket is issued on the American carrier and there is an American carrier flight number.

d) Limitations. Travel reimbursement, which is part of ODC, shall not exceed the authorized ODC amount on the contract. To be reimbursable, the travel expenses must be:

1) Allowable under the FTR and the provisions of this contract/order and associated technical directives;

2) Approved prior to travel expenditure by the COR; and

3) Allocable and necessary for performance of this contract/order and associated technical directives.

e) Reimbursement Requests. Travel reimbursement requests must be submitted in sufficient time for the COR to give prior approval, and must identify:

1) The name of the traveler.

2) Destination (s) including itinerary.

3) Purpose of the travel; and

4) Cost breakdown.

5) To be reimbursed, invoices including travel expenses must provide a detailed breakdown of the actual expenditures invoiced. Contractor shall maintain the original or legible copy of receipts for all travel expenses invoiced when the expenditure is $75.00 or more. MCC reserves the right to request evidence of any travel expense paid.

f) Approvals. All travel expenses, including rental cars, must be approved by the MCC COR in writing in advance of booking any travel and incurring travel expenses. The following expense types require additional MCC pre-approvals beyond that of the COR. These additional approvals and associated justifications will be documented in writing:

1) Business class - Business class travel is considered to be exceptional, to be determined as part of a trip by trip analysis, and at the discretion of the government regardless of the destination or travel time. To reflect the exceptional nature of this approval, the justification for use of business class must be prepared by the COR and approved in writing by the relevant Managing Director or Deputy Vice President of the organization requesting the contractor to travel. The single exception to requiring this justification and approval for every trip in question is when a State Department approved medical accommodation has been granted. In this case, the approval of the COR and the Contracting Officer only is required after verifying that the medical accommodation is effective for the trip in question and that sufficient funds are available. All justifications must verify that the contractor is required to report for duty the following day or sooner, that the travel time for the trip is at least 14 hours, and that a rest stop will not be taken en route. For audit purposes, all justifications and approvals to this effect must be retained by the COR and the contractor until contract closeout at which point all documentation must be provided to the Contracting Officer for incorporation in the contract file. Below are possible justifications supporting these exceptional requests:

A) Medical accommodation -

MCC has engaged the services of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), Federal Occupational Health Service (FOH), and Medical Employability Program (MEP) for medical accommodations due to disability adjudication.

Requests for, and HHS determinations on, medical accommodations for business class travel will be confidential, with only MCC's Travel Office receiving copies of the request and the MED/DP determination. Contractor travelers requesting medical accommodations based upon disability must complete the steps below. Forms are available from the MCC COR and/or PM.

1) Contractor traveler completes the Medical Employability Case Transmittal Form, A127523-S192701-W190333.

Form can be faxed to (301) 492-4783 or e-mailed to medical.employability@foh.hhs.gov with a copy to the MCC Travel Office at mccmedical@mcc.gov.

2) Contractor traveler forwards Physician a copy of the Medical Accommodation Physician's form, which the physician completes, dates, and signs. Once signed, the traveler OR their physician e-mails a scanned .pdf attachment to HHS at medical.employability@foh.hhs.gov. Alternatively, it can be faxed Attn: Medical Employability Program (301) 492-4783.

3) Once both forms have been completed and sent, HHS makes a medical determination based on the information provided by the traveler and the traveler's physician on the HHS/FOH/EMP forms. FOH will send a letter to the POC listed on the transmittal form with recommendations. MCC will not approve any business class accommodations beyond normal MCC guidelines unless the traveler has completed the medical accommodation paperwork and received a positive response from FOH/MEP.

4) Contractor must note that the process can take several weeks and will depend on how quickly HHS/FOH/MED receives the information (including communication with treating physicians).

B) Sanitation/Health - Coach accommodations on an authorized/approved foreign air carrier do not provide adequate sanitation or health standards.

C) Savings - Flying in non-coach status would involve significant cost savings to MCC when compared to the lowest price non-refundable or restricted coach class fare.

D) Availability - No space is available in coach-class accommodations in time to accomplish the mission, which is urgent and cannot be postponed. (Note: this justification should not be used based on the lack of advanced planning by the contractor or the COR).

E) Security - Exceptional security circumstances require other than coach-class airline accommodations.

F) Mission critical agency requirement - circumstances in which a critical agency priority or project will incur delay or degradation without the intervention of a contractor and that intervention urgently requires other than coach class ticketing.

2) Coach "premium" class - coach "premium" class must be approved by the COR, subject to the availability of funds on the contract/order, and:

A) The origin and/or destination are OCONUS; and mailto:medical.employability@foh.hhs.gov mailto:mccmedical@mcc.gov mailto:medical.employability@foh.hhs.gov

B) The scheduled flight time including non-overnight stopovers and change of planes, is in excess of 14 hours. Scheduled flight time is the flight time between the originating departure point and the ultimate arrival point including scheduled non-overnight time spent at airports during plane changes. Scheduled non-overnight time does not include time spent at the originating or ultimate arrival airports. And;

C) The contractor is required to report to duty the following day or sooner; and

D) The contractor does not take a rest stop en route or a rest period upon arrival at the duty site.

3) Rest Stops - must be approved by the COR and cannot exceed 24 hours.

NOTE: Travelers may upgrade flight accommodations at their own expense or through the use of frequent flyer miles if the coach airfare is upgradeable at no extra cost to MCC.

MCC 52.232-74 ODC REIMBURSEMENT (JAN 2007)

Other Direct Charges (ODCs) will be reimbursed for direct costs as provided in the contract and/or task order. To be reimbursed, invoices including ODCs, must provide a detailed breakdown of the actual expenditures invoiced. The contractor shall maintain the original or legible copy of receipts for all ODCs invoiced. MCC reserves the right to request evidence of any ODC reimbursed. To assure timely reimbursement of ODC's, the contractor is strongly encouraged to submit charges within 45 days of the expense.

52.203-71 MCC 52.203-71 IDENTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL FRAUD OR CORRUPTION ON

PREVIOUS MCC-FUNDED PROJECTS (JUNE 2019)

MCC contractors, when conducting their work, may find indicators or evidence that MCC-funded projects, including construction works, did not meet contract specifications, or that construction works exhibit unexpected degradation or poor performance. While these indicators may not prove that fraud or corruption occurred, they may warrant further inquiry on the part of MCC. Contractor employees and/or subcontractor personnel are subject to the MCC's Policy on Preventing, Detecting, and Remediating Fraud and Corruption in MCC Operations, also known as the AFC Policy, which is available on MCC's website. Under the AFC Policy, all MCC and Accountable Entity staff, and all others working with MCC funding, are required to promptly report any suspected incidents of fraudulent or corrupt practices, based on a reasonable belief, considering circumstances, that fraud or corruption may have occurred. Reports should be made to the email address hotline@mcc.gov.

Those messages will automatically be shared with appropriate MCC personnel and with the U.S. Agency for International Development's Office of Inspector General's Office of Investigations (USAID OIG/I). Contractors are not to conduct their own investigations of potential fraud or corruption, as such action may interfere with USAID OIG/I investigations.
