into intermodal equipment, except LASH or Seabee barges, is subject to mark and count and, therefore, ceases to be bulk cargo. “Employee assigned to the contract” means an employee who was hired after November 6, 1986, who is directly performing work, in the United States, under a contract that is required to include the clause prescribed at 22.1803.

States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

(b) Enrollment and verification requirements.

(1) If the Contractor is not enrolled as a Federal Contractor in E-Verify at time of contract award, the Contractor shall—

(iii) Verify employees assigned to the contract. For each employee assigned to the contract, initiate verification within 90 calendar days.

FAR 52.232-18 -- Availability of Funds (JUN 1984)

Funds are not presently available for this contract. The Government’s obligation under this contract is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds from which payment for contract purposes can be made. No legal liability on the part of the Government for any payment may arise until funds are made available to the Contracting

Officer for this contract and until the Contractor receives notice of such availability, to be confirmed in writing by the Contracting Officer.

AGAR 452.211-75 Effective Period of the Contract (FEB 1988)

(b) If the awardee fails to comply with these provisions, the Forest Service may terminate this contract for default and may recover any funds the awardee has received in violation of sections 433 or 434.

For those contracts with less than positive performance, you are encouraged to provide a description of the problems and the efforts made to correct and to prevent future occurrences.

No proposed pricing information shall be provided with the past performance information. Offerors shall submit the list with offer, no later than the offer due date and time indicated on Standard Form 1449. Include the following information for each contract:

(i) Contracting agency/Business Name and project location.

The description of work performed should be in sufficient detail for the Government to determine what the work included. (i.e. Grounds maintenance, cleaning services. List the services performed and quantities involved (SF/Acreage/Facility size) and any other types of facility supports services or other similar work accomplished). Use of only a project title does not usually provide enough detail for the Government to make an evaluation

Completed questionnaires should be submitted no later than the offer due date and time indicated on Standard Form 1449. However, any PPQ’s may be accepted up until the evaluation starts. Since there are multiple solicitations for Recreational Grounds Site Operational

Services, PPQ’s receive in response to one solicitation maybe considered for all.

(ii) If the contractor fails to submit PPQ’s, this could result in the contractor receiving a neutral rating for past performance. When only 1 to 2 PPQ’s are received in response to a solicitation, a lower past performance rating could result due to limited information available on which to base an evaluation.

3) Offerors lacking recent and relevant present/past performance experience may submit information regarding key personnel who have recent and relevant experience.
