AGAR 452.209 – 71 Assurance Regarding Felony Conviction or Tax Delinquent Status For Corporate Applicants, Alternate 1 (Feb 2012)

(a) This award is subject to the provisions contained in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2012 (P.L. No.

112-74), Division E, Sections 433 and 434 regarding corporate felony convictions and corporate federal tax delinquencies. Accordingly, by accepting this award the contractor acknowledges that it –

(1) does not have a tax delinquency, meaning that it is not subject to any unpaid Federal tax liability that has been assessed, for which all judicial and administrative remedies have been exhausted or have lapsed, and that is not being paid in a timely manner pursuant to an agreement with the authority responsible for collecting the tax liability, and

(2) has not been convicted (or had an officer or agent acting on its behalf convicted) of a felony criminal violation under any Federal law within 24 months preceding the award, unless a suspending and debarring official of the United States Department of Agriculture has considered suspension or debarment of the awardee, or such officer or agent, based on these convictions and/or tax delinquencies and determined that suspension or debarment is not necessary to protect the interests of the Government.

(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.

FSAR 4G52.222-701 - Employment of Eligible Workers (DEC 1999) Section 274A of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 USC 1324a) makes it unlawful for an employer to hire unauthorized aliens. The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), now the United States Citizen and Immigration Services, established the Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification Form, as the document to be used for employment eligibility verification (8 CFR 274a).

The contractor is required to:

1. Have all employees complete and sign the I-9 Form to certify that they are eligible for employment;

2. Examine documents presented by the employee and ensure the documents appear to be genuine and related to the individual;

3. Record information about the documents on the form, and complete the certification portion of the form;

4. Retain the form for 3 years, or 1 year past the end of employment of the individual, whichever is longer.

It is illegal to discriminate against any individual (other than a citizen of another country who is not authorized to work in the United States) in hiring, discharging, or recruiting because of that individual's national origin or citizenship status.

Compliance with Section 274A of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1324a) is a material condition of the contract. If the contractor employs unauthorized workers during contract performance in violation of section 274A, the Government may terminate the contract, in addition to other remedies or penalties prescribed by law.

For further information on the requirements of the Act, contractors should contact the Employer and Labor Relations Officer of their local United States Citizen and Immigration Services office.

AGAR 452.228-71 Insurance Coverage. (NOV 1996) Pursuant to FAR clause 52.228-5, Insurance-Work on a Government Installation, the Contractor will be required to present evidence to show, as a minimum, the amounts of insurance coverage indicated below:

(a) Workers Compensation and Employer's Liability. The Contractor is required to comply with applicable Federal and State workers' compensation and occupational disease statutes. If occupational diseases are not compensable under those statutes, they shall be covered under the employer's liability section of the insurance policy, except when contract operations are so commingled with a Contractor's commercial operations that it would not be practical to require this coverage. Employer's liability coverage of at least $100,000 shall be required, except in States with exclusive or monopolistic funds that do not permit worker's compensation to be written by private carriers.

(b) General Liability. The Contractor shall have bodily injury liability insurance coverage written on a comprehensive form of policy of at least $500,000 per occurrence.

(c) Automobile Liability. The Contractor shall have automobile liability insurance written on a comprehensive form of policy. The policy shall provide for bodily injury and property damage liability covering the operation of all automobiles used in connection with performing the contract. Policies covering automobiles operated in the United States shall provide coverage of at least $200,000 per person and $500,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and $20,000 per occurrence for property damage or loss.

(d) Aircraft Public and Passenger Liability. When aircraft are used in connection with performing the contract, the Contractor shall have aircraft public and passenger liability insurance. Coverage shall be at least $200,000 per person and $500,000 per occurrence for bodily injury, other than passenger injury. Coverage for passenger injury shall be at least $200,000 multiplied by the number of seats or passengers, whichever is greater.

FAR 52.232-18 Availability of Funds. (APR 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 452.237-74 - Key Personnel (FEB 1988)

(a) The Contractor shall assign to this contract the following key personnel:

Contractor’s Representative

(b) During the first ninety (90) days of performance, the Contractor shall make no substitutions of key personnel unless the substitution is necessitated by illness, death, or termination of employment. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer within 15 calendar days after the occurrence of any of these events and provide the information required by paragraph (c) below. After the initial 90-day period, the Contractor shall submit the information required by paragraph (c) to the Contracting Officer at least 15 days prior to making any permanent substitutions.

(c) The Contractor shall provide a detailed explanation of the circumstances necessitating the proposed substitutions, complete resumes for the proposed substitutes, and any additional information requested by the

AGAR 452.215-71 INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE PREPARATION OF TECHNICAL AND BUSINESS

PROPOSALS (SEP 1999)

(a) - General Instructions. Proposals submitted in response to this solicitation shall be furnished in the following format with the numbers of copies as specified below. This RFP does not commit the Government to pay costs incurred in preparation and submission of initial and subsequent proposals or for other costs incurred prior to award of a formal contract.

(1) The proposal must include a technical proposal and business proposal. Offers that do not include both a technical and business proposal will not be considered further. Each of the parts shall be separate and complete so that evaluation of one may be accomplished independently from evaluation of the other. The technical proposal must not contain reference to cost; however, resource information (such as data concerning labor hours and categories, materials, subcontracts, etc.) must be contained in the technical proposal so that the contractor's understanding of the statement of work may be evaluated.

(2) Offerors are cautioned to submit enough information to enable the evaluation committee to fully ascertain each offeror's capability to perform all of the requirements contemplated by this solicitation. All commitments made in the proposal may become a part of the resultant contract. The data submitted with each proposal should be complete and concise, but not overly elaborate. Excessive reliance on promotional brochures is discouraged.

(3) Offerors may, at their discretion, submit alternate proposals or proposals which deviate from the requirement; provided, that an offeror also submit a proposal for performance of the work as specified in the statement of work. Any "alternate" proposal may be considered if overall performance would be improved or not compromised, and if it is in the best interest of the Government. Alternate proposals, or deviations from any requirement of this RFP, must be clearly identified.

(4) Offerors may, at the discretion of the Government, be asked to provide more information and clarification regarding their proposals. The offeror shall be held responsible for the validity of all information supplied in his/her proposal. Should subsequent investigation disclose that the facts and conditions were not as stated, the proposal may be rejected.

Therefore, the technical proposal must present sufficient information to reflect a thorough understanding of the requirements and a detailed description of the organization, techniques, procedures and program for achieving the objectives of the specifications/statement of work. Proposals that merely paraphrase the requirements of the Government's specifications/statement of work, or use such phrases as "will comply" or "standard techniques will be employed" will be considered unacceptable and will not be considered further. Technical portions of the submittal are limited to 10 single pages or 5 double-sided pages. Material submitted in excess of this limit will not be reviewed.

At a minimum, the technical proposal must clearly address the following factors and sub factors. Each factor/sub factor should be covered in sufficient detail to clearly address required information.

The Government reserves the right to obtain information for use in the evaluation of past performance from any and all sources including Federal, state and local government agencies, better business bureaus, published media, electronic databases, as well as personal knowledge of evaluators. The evaluation may also take into account performance of key personnel regarding predecessor companies or subcontractors, if applicable. NOTE: In the case where an offeror lacks Past Performance experience, the offeror will not be evaluated either favorably or unfavorably in this area but will receive a neutral rating in the area of past performance (FAR 15.305).

Using page 9, the offeror shall request a Past Performance Questionnaire from five (5) recent customers of similar projects completed within the past three (3) years. The projects should have a magnitude and scope similar to those required by the solicitation.

The information regarding these projects and customers shall be entered including the dollar value of the project, type of project, date completed and customer contact information.

With their technical proposal, offerors may also include customer letters of commendation, etc., with customer points of contact and telephone numbers for past performance references.

Project management includes the full spectrum of activities such as estimating, proposal preparation, subcontract purchasing and management, work scoping and planning, superintendent duties, and safety/quality control. Offerors should provide a detailed description of the organization, techniques, procedures and program for achieving the objectives of the specifications/statement of work. Describe your method for maintaining schedules and accomplishing required work in the required time and at the required quality level.

FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation—Commercial Items. (JAN 1999)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Past Performance.

Subfactors (Equal Order of Importance):

o Quality of Workmanship o Customer Satisfaction o Timeliness of Performance o Safety Record

NOTE: In accordance with FAR 15.305, in the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror will not be evaluated either favorably or unfavorably in this area, but instead will receive a neutral rating in the area of past performance.

Experience and Availability of Firm, Key Personnel and Equipment.

o Relevant Technical Knowledge o Ability to Perform the Work and Availability of Key Personnel o List of Available Equipment – Brand, Type, Age, Ownership Information, Etc.

o Utilization of Local Work Force

Project Management.

o Project Specific Quality Control Plan o Project Specific Resource Protection Plan o Project Specific Safety Plan

Price. A price evaluation will be performed to determine the reasonableness of the proposed price.

Reasonableness will be determined considering other competitive prices received and comparison to the independent Government estimate (IGE). The Government will look at whether a proposed price is too high and may also consider whether a proposed price is too low, since this might indicate a lack of technical understanding on the offeror's part or a performance risk associated with the proposal that the agency may not be willing to accept.
