The Contractor also agrees not to publish or otherwise divulge such information in whole or in part in any manner or form, or to authorize or permit others to do so, taking such reasonable measures as are necessary to restrict access to such information while in the Contractor's possession, to those employees needing such information to perform the work provided herein, i.e., on a "need to know" basis. The Contractor agrees to immediately notify in writing, the Contracting Officer, named herein, in the event that the Contractor determines or has reason to suspect a breach of this requirement.

(b) The Contractor agrees not to disclose any information concerning the work under this contract to any persons or individual unless prior written approval is obtained from the Contracting Officer.

2.6 REPORTING ALLEGED CHILD ABUSE

Pursuant to the spirit and requirements of P.L. 101-647, Section 225 and 226, the following applies:

Any employee or representative of the Contractor who becomes aware of allegations that a child in the program covered by this contract is (a) a victim of a crime of physical abuse, sex abuse, or exploitation; or (b) a witness to a crime committed against another person; shall make a report of the suspected abuse to the Contracting Officer’s

Representative within 24 hours. The initial report shall be made by phone and shall be followed-up in writing, providing salient points of the allegations.

When such allegations about a contractor employee occur as covered by this clause, the Contractor employee who is the subject of the allegations will immediately be required to vacate the work site and will be replaced by another contactor employee. The subject employee will remain away from the work site until an investigation is completed.

The Government will not incur additional costs by the Contractor who must provide a replacement employee.

The Contractor shall limit disclosure of documents concerning alleged child abuse to the persons who by reason of their participation in the proceeding have reason to know such information.

Any conviction of a sex crime, an offense involving a child victim or drug felony, will be grounds for denying employment or for dismissal of an employee in any position-serving children. Conviction of a crime other than a

AG-82A7-S-14-0049 Waste Water Treatment Services – Golconda Job Corps Center Page 6 of 35 sex crime may be considered if it bears on an individual’s fitness to have responsibility for the safety and well-being of children.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

(This section will be removed at time of award)

4.1. FAR 52.252-2 CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE (FEB 1998)

This contract incorporates one or more clauses by reference, with the same force and effect as if they were given in full text. Upon request, the Contracting Officer will make their full text available. Also, the full text of a clause may be accessed electronically at these addresses:

4.2 FAR 52.212-1 – INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS – COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JUL 2013)

4.3 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:

4.3.1. TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

– Offeror’s proposed method of performing all required tasks in the PWS and meeting all contractual requirements

– Experience: Evaluation of key personnel resumes and Offeror’s responses to the Experience

Questionnaire (including corporate experience and experience of key personnel)

– Professional Certifications: Whether Offeror included proof of appropriate certifications of key personnel; if key personnel do not yet have all appropriate certifications, Offeror’s plan for key personnel to obtain certifications in a timely manner

AG-82A7-S-14-0049 Waste Water Treatment Services – Golconda Job Corps Center Page 21 of 35

- The Government will also look at Cost and Price which includes considering the cost/price information entered in Pricing Schedule. It is the Government’s intent to determine reasonableness and the quoter’s understanding of ALL the work required and the ability to perform ALL of the work stated under the contract. Any exclusions listed in reference to prescribed work, may remove the contractor from consideration.

Relative Importance of Factors: Technical Capability and Past Performance, when combined, are significantly more important than price.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the

Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

In accordance with FSAR 4G13.106-2 preference may be given to potential vendors or suppliers if they are 8(a) or other small disadvantaged businesses.

The Government may reject any or all quotes, issue orders to other than the lowest quote, and waive minor informalities or irregularities in quotes received, or elect to not award at all. The Government does not intend to hold discussions. If necessary, the Government may conduct discussions with any or all quoters.

The Government may issue an order on the basis of quotes as received, without entering into discussions with any quoter. Therefore, each initial quote should contain the quoter's best terms and must speak directly to the evaluation factors listed.

An offeror shall complete only paragraphs (b) of this provision if the offeror has completed the annual representations and certificates electronically via http://www.acquisition.gov .
