whereas, task orders for Auxiliary Services will identify a quantity of days (reference Section 4).

Ordering period(s), ordering minimum/maximum, and overall contract thresholds shall be identified on the SF 1449.

3. INTERMITTENT SERVICES.

During times when an SJAFB Catholic Chaplain (herein referenced as Chaplain) is on station (i.e. not deployed, on temporarily duty, etc.), services provided by the Contractor shall be minimal and primarily restricted to when the Chaplain is unavailable; however, provision of some services may be determined as necessary to maintain the Contractor's training and/or experience within the community. Thus, the intent of Intermittent Services is to provide short term (less than 14 consecutive calendar days) coverage and continuity throughout a designated performance period.

3.1. SCHEDULING INTERMITTENT SERVICES. Intermittent Services shall be quantified by service “units” in order to afford maximum flexibility (reference Section 3.7). Unless otherwise specified on the individual task order, and to the maximum extent possible, the scheduling of Intermittent Services shall be mutually coordinated (reference Section 3). Unless mutually agreed upon between the Government and the Contractor, the Contractor shall be afforded a minimum of 10 calendar days from written notification to the performance of Intermittent Services.

3.1.1. Emergency and/or As-Needed Services (reference Sections 3.7 and 3.6) may be rendered as Intermittent Services; however, the Contractor is not contractually obligated to provide these services as performance of Intermittent Service Unit(s).

3.2. ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES. Administrative units may be utilized for schedule coordination, training, fellowship/community immersion, and/or other administrative services.

Administrative services will generally be scheduled on an as-needed basis, and the specific date(s) and/or time(s) for the performance of Administrative Services shall be mutually agreed upon by both the Chapel POC and the Contractor.

3.2.1. Schedule Coordination. At minimum, one Administrative Unit shall be performed each month encompassing the overall administrative and schedule coordination between the Chapel POC and the Contractor.

Each month, and to the maximum extent possible, the Chapel POC and/or COR and Contractor will work together to determine days, times, and type of service the Contractor shall perform as Intermittent Services (reference also Section 3.1). The intent/goal is for the Contractor to perform, at minimum, one regular or scheduled service monthly.

3.2.1.2. Time and effort necessary for performance of administrative/schedule coordination each month is anticipated to be nominal and to generally consist of receipt/review of upcoming schedule and a reasonable amount of follow-up email(s) and/or discussion(s) necessary for coordination. Government-requested teleconference(s) and/or virtual meeting(s) will not exceed 45 minutes per Administrative Service Unit.

3.2.1.3. In event circumstances necessitate extensive and/or more frequent administrative/schedule coordination (i.e. numerous schedule changes, multiple Government-requested exceeding a total of 45 minutes, etc.), and the additional time/effort required is determined to be outside the Contractor’s control, the contracting officer may determine to increase the quantity of Administrative Service Unit(s)

3.2.2. Training. Required training associated with this contract is anticipated to be minimal.

Training requirements shall be restricted to orientation to the SJAFB Chapel’s general operational procedures or training determined necessary for performance.

Due to the unique nature of pastoral services, periodic fellowship may be necessary to ensure sufficient immersion within the St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Community, particularly after initial award of the contract and/or in instances of longer intervals between performance of regular and/or scheduled services. (See also Section 3.2.1.1.)

3.2.4. Extended Performance Requirements for Regular/Scheduled Services. The Government recognizes that there may be instances in which Regular and/or Scheduled Services (reference Sections 3.3. and 3.4.) may extend in duration beyond what is reasonably expected at no fault of the Contractor.
