NOTE WITH REGARD TO FAR 52.222-41 through 44 and FAR 52.222-53 This contract will likely involve many different labor categories in performance, and the Government contemplates that some labor categories will require application of the Service Contract Act, while others will be exempt. At a minimum, the Government contemplates the following:

FAR 52.222-42 Statement of Equivalent Rates for Federal Hires (May 2014) In compliance with the Service Contract Labor Standards statute and the regulations of the Secretary of Labor (29 CFR part 4), this clause identifies the classes of service employees expected to be employed under the contract and states the wages and fringe benefits payable to each if they were employed by the contracting agency subject to the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 5341 or 5332.

This Statement is for Information Only: It is not a Wage Determination Employee Class Monetary Wage – Fringe Benefits Accounting Clerk (TBD) based on location Administrative Assistant (TBD) based on location Data Entry Operator (TBD) based on location

FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services (Nov 1999)

The Government may require continued performance of any services within the limits and at the rates specified in the contract. These rates may be adjusted only as a result of revisions to prevailing labor rates provided by the Secretary of Labor. The option provision may be exercised more than once, but the total extension of performance hereunder shall not exceed 6 months. The Contracting Officer may exercise the option by written notice to the Contractor within (30 days prior to the start of the required extension period).

FAR 52.217-9, Option to Extend the Term of the Contract (Mar 2000)

(a) The Government may extend the term of this contract by written notice to the Contractor within (15 days prior to the start of the Option Period); provided that the Government gives the Contractor a preliminary written notice of its intent to extend at least (30 days) before the contract expires. The preliminary notice does not commit the Government to an extension.

(b) If the Government exercises this option, the extended contract shall be considered to include this option clause.

(c) The total duration of this contract, including the exercise of any options under this clause, shall not exceed 59 months.

FAR 52.222-49 Service Contact Labor Standards – Place of Performance Unknown (May 2014)

(a) This contract is subject to the Service Contract Labor Standards statute, and the place of performance was unknown when the solicitation was issued. In addition to places or areas identified in wage determinations, if any, attached to the solicitation, wage determinations have also been requested for the following: [TBD – See Below]. The Contracting Officer will request wage determinations for additional places or areas of performance if asked to do so in writing by [See Note Below].

(b) Offerors who intend to perform in a place or area of performance for which a wage determination has not been attached or requested may nevertheless submit bids or proposals. However, a wage determination shall be requested and incorporated in the resultant contract retroactive to the date of contract award, and there shall be no adjustment in the contract price.

Service Contract Act Wage Determinations Wage Determination Number Revision and Date Locations Included 2015-4281 Rev 17, 12/21/2020 District of Columbia

NOTE regarding 52.222-49: Once an award determination is made, the Government will add the wage determinations relevant to the awardee’s place of performance to the table above, and remove any not applicable.

The OFFEROR must state place(s) of performance in their proposal package for all employees (and subcontractor employees) who will perform services under this contract. Place of Performance for the purpose of the Service Contract Act is not necessarily the employer’s headquarters address. In the case of full-time remote workers, the place where those employees physically sit to do their work shall be considered their place of performance. In case of part-time remote workers, whatever city/state where they will spend the majority of their hours “on the clock” determines their place of performance.

FAR 52.232-29 Terms for Financing of Purchases of Commercial Items (Feb 2002)

(a) Contractor entitlement to financing payments. The Contractor may request, and the Government shall pay, a contract financing payment as specified elsewhere in this contract when: the payment requested is properly due in accordance with this contract; the supplies deliverable or services due under the contract will be delivered or performed in accordance with the contract; and there has been no impairment or diminution of the Government’s security under this contract.

(b) Special terms regarding termination for cause. If this contract is terminated for cause, the Contractor shall, on demand, repay to the Government the amount of unliquidated contract financing payments.

The Government shall be liable for no payment except as provided by the Termination for Cause paragraph of the clause at 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions-Commercial Items.

(c) Security for Government financing. In the event the Contractor fails to provide adequate security, as required in this contract, no financing payment shall be made under this contract. Upon receipt of adequate security, financing payments shall be made, including all previous payments to which the Contractor is entitled, in accordance with the terms of the provisions for contract financing. If at any time the Contracting Officer determines that the security provided by the Contractor is insufficient, the Contractor shall promptly provide such additional security as the Contracting Officer determines necessary. In the event the Contractor fails to provide such additional security, the Contracting Officer may collect or liquidate such security that has been provided and suspend further payments to the

Contractor; and the Contractor shall repay to the Government the amount of unliquidated financing payments as the Contracting Officer at his sole discretion deems repayable.

(d) Reservation of rights.

(1) No payment or other action by the Government under this clause shall-

(i) Excuse the Contractor from performance of obligations under this contract; or

(ii) Constitute a waiver of any of the rights or remedies of the parties under the contract.

(2) The Government’s rights and remedies under this clause-

(i) Shall not be exclusive, but rather shall be in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law or this contract; and

(ii) Shall not be affected by delayed, partial, or omitted exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege, nor shall such exercise or any single exercise preclude or impair any further exercise under this clause or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege of the Government.

(e) Content of Contractor's request for financing payment. The Contractor’s request for financing payment shall contain the following:

(1) The name and address of the Contractor;

(2) The date of the request for financing payment;

(3) The contract number and/or other identifier of the contract or order under which the request is made; and

(4) An appropriately itemized and totaled statement of the financing payments requested and such other information as is necessary for computation of the payment, prepared in accordance with the direction of the Contracting Officer.

(f) Limitation on frequency of financing payments. Contractor financing payments shall be provided no more frequently than monthly.

(g) Dates for payment. A payment under this clause is a contract financing payment and not subject to the interest penalty provisions of the Prompt Payment Act. The designated payment office will pay approved payment requests within 30 days of submittal of a proper request for payment.

(h) Conflict between terms of offeror and clause. In the event of any conflict between the terms proposed by the offeror in response to an invitation to propose financing terms (52.232-31) and the terms in this clause, the terms of this clause shall govern.

NOTE regarding 52.232.29: It is the standard commercial practice for child daycare, afterschool and preschool providers to receive payment in full at the start of a month for services not yet rendered, to hold a child’s spot, not unlike tuition at a private school. The Child Care Subsidy Administration Services contractor will need to have OPM’s subsidy funds in their accounts in order to pay the child care providers on our behalf when payments are due, and the subsidies themselves are a direct cost pass-through. Advanced payments may be billed monthly, and shall be limited as indicated in the PWS, Section 6 “Invoicing”, paragraphs (a) and (b).
