1.0 CONTRACT PROJECT:

1.1 Title: Facility Condition Assessment Program

1.2 Location: Various owned and/or leased USDA APHIS facilities located throughout the United States and North America

1.3 Project Background: USDA APHIS started the assessment program back in 2003. The number of assessments per year have ranged from as little as five to as many as fifteen.

1.4 Facility Description: USDA APHIS owns and /or leases multiple different types of buildings such as laboratories, production facilities, offices, warehouses, animal pens, canopies, aviary, greenhouses, screen houses, maintenance shops, gate houses, trailers, etc. A list of all USDA APHIS facilities that are presently in the rotation to be assessed every three years is included in Attachment A along with number of buildings, square footage of buildings and size of each location.

1.5 Project Description: The APHIS, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has concerns about the integrity and service life of the infrastructure of their facilities. The assessment will provide an independent and documented overview of facility and infrastructure conditions in a simple concise report. The assessment shall consist of identifying all building code deficiencies and required repairs for all existing buildings, utility systems, and infrastructure.

Inspections shall note all applicable guidelines (i.e. the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Animal Welfare Act, Association for Assessment and Accreditation for Laboratory Animal Care International (AAALAC), Good Laboratory Practice, & APHIS Quarantine Requirements). It is the intent of APHIS to utilize these reports to establish the fiscal management of the physical assets; establish an optimal approach to facilities capital reinvestment; and link the facility with the goals of the organization.

1.6 Project Tasks: This task is for Architectural and Engineering Services required to:

1.6.1 Facility Condition Assessments

1.6.1.1 Perform a Detailed Facility Condition Assessment/Re-Assessments to identify deficiencies and repairs needed throughout the USDA APHIS facilities.

"Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database" means the primary Government repository for Contractor information required for the conduct of business with the Government.

"Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number" means the

9-digit number assigned by Dun and Bradstreet, Inc. (D&B) to identify unique business entities.

"Data Universal Numbering System +4 (DUNS+4) number" means the

DUNS number assigned by D&B plus a 4-character suffix that may be assigned by a business concern. (D&B has no affiliation with this 4-character suffix.) This 4-character suffix may be assigned at the discretion of the business concern to establish additional CCR records for identifying alternative

Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) accounts (see the FAR at

Subpart 32.11) for the same parent concern.

"Registered in the CCR database" means that--

(1) The Contractor has entered all mandatory information, including the DUNS number or the DUNS+4 number, into the

CCR database; and

(2) The Government has validated all mandatory data fields and has marked the record "Active".

(b) (1) By submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges the requirement that a prospective awardee shall be registered in the CCR database prior to award, during performance, and through final payment of any contract, basic agreement, basic ordering agreement, or blanket purchasing agreement resulting from this solicitation.

(2) The offeror shall enter, in the block with its name and address on the cover page of its offer, the annotation

"DUNS" or "DUNS +4" followed by the DUNS or DUNS +4 number that identifies the offeror's name and address exactly as stated in the offer. The DUNS number will be used by the Contracting Officer to verify that the offeror is registered in the CCR database.

CCR database after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates its information in the CCR database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating information in the CCR does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document.

(whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name agreements in Subpart 42.12, the Contractor shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day's written notification of its intention to (A) change the name in the CCR database; (B) comply with the requirements of

Subpart 42.12 of the FAR; and (C) agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the responsible Contracting Officer. The Contractor must provide with the notification sufficient documentation to support the legally changed name.

(ii) If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (g)(1)(i) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at paragraph

(g)(1)(i)(C) of this clause, and, in the absence of a properly executed novation or change-of-name agreement, the CCR information that shows the

Contractor to be other than the Contractor indicated in the contract will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the

"Suspension of Payment" paragraph of the electronic funds transfer (EFT) clause of this contract.

(2) The Contractor shall not change the name or address for

EFT payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the

CCR record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims (see FAR Subpart 32.8, Assignment of

Claims). Assignees shall be separately registered in the

CCR database. Information provided to the Contractor's

CCR record that indicates payments, including those made by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that

Contractor will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the "Suspension of payment"

Section I

I.2 (Continued) paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract.

The notice shall include the following information (except that the information pertaining to

National Labor Relations Board shall not be included in notices posted in the plants or offices of carriers subject to the Railway Labor Act, as amended (45 U.S.C. 151-188)).

Notice to Employees

Under Federal law, employees cannot be required to join a union or maintain membership in a union in order to retain their jobs. Under certain conditions, the law permits a union and an employer to enter into a union-security agreement requiring employees to pay uniform periodic dues and initiation fees. However, employees who are not union members can object to the use of their payments for certain purposes and can only be required to pay their share of union costs relating to collective bargaining, contract administration, and grievance adjustment. If you do not want to pay that portion of dues or fees used to support activities not related to collective bargaining, contract administration, or grievance adjustment, you are entitled to an appropriate reduction in your payment. If you believe that you have been required to pay dues or fees used in part to support activities not related to collective bargaining, contract administration, or grievance adjustment, you may be entitled to a refund and to an appropriate reduction in future payments.

For further information concerning your rights, you may wish
