When the defects in services cannot be corrected by re-performance, the Government may (1) require the contractor to take necessary action to ensure that future performance conforms to contract requirements, and (2) reduce the contract price to reflect the reduced value of the services performed. NOTE: If the contractor fails to promptly re-perform the services or to take the necessary action to ensure future performance in conformity with contract requirements, the Government may by contract, or otherwise: (1) perform the services and charge to the Contractor any cost incurred by the government that is directly related to the performance of such service, or (2) terminate the contract in whole or in part. The Government reserves the right to cause the specified work to be performed by a third party or Government personnel and the cost incurred thereby will be levied against the Contractor.

Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP): An organized written document used by Government for quality assurance surveillance. Document contains sampling/ evaluation guides, checklists, and the performance requirements summary (PRS).

Quality Control (QC): A method used by the Contractor to control the quality of goods and services provided.

Quality Assurance (QA): A method used by the Government to provide some measure of control over the quality of purchased goods and services received.

Service Contract: A contract that directly engages the time and effort of a contractor whose primary purpose is to perform an identifiable task rather than to furnish an end item of supply. A service contract may cover services performed by either professional or nonprofessional personnel whether on an individual or organizational basis. Some of the areas in which service contracts are found include the following:

(a) Maintenance, overhaul, repair, servicing, rehabilitation, salvage, modernization, or modification of supplies, systems, or equipment.

(b) Routine recurring maintenance of real property.

(c) Housekeeping and base services.

(d) Operation of Government-owned equipment facilities, and systems.

Shall: Means the imperative.

C.2.1 DEFINITIONS OF MOWING AREAS. Mowing areas shall be as designated by the Contracting

Officer's Representative, hence the importance of a site-visit prior to bidding. An aerial photo of area to be mowed will be provided by Smithville Lake Project Office. The definition below serves to indicate general mowing areas and boundaries. In addition, the Contractor should refer to the aerial photo of area.

Ultimately and above all else, mowing and trimming areas shall be as determined by the COR or other designated Government representative. Such determinations shall prevail over definitions, descriptions, photos, drawings, or maps.

Areas to be mowed include:

Administration Area lawn, Lake View Shelter House and Privy area.

Mowing around the Administration Building (Jerry Litton Visitor Center), Lake View Shelter House and Privy includes the following special requirements:

The minimum allowable mowing height for all areas shall be 4 inches.

Contractor shall mow the Administrative Building lawn areas on a diagonal bias, alternating directions with each mowing.

C.3 GOVERNMENT-FURNISHED PROPERTY & SUPPLIES: The Government shall furnish necessary keys and Contractor “Quality Control” Worksheets for the use of the Contractor.

C.4 CONTRACTOR-FURNISHED ITEMS & SERVICES: The Contractor shall furnish all equipment, supplies, items, labor, materials, insurance, services, etc. to accomplish the services specified in this PWS.

All equipment must be approved by the Contracting Officer or the Contracting Officer's Representative prior to initial use. Equipment breakdown shall not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility of performing the work as specified. The Contractor shall assure that he has, or can obtain on short notice, sufficient backup equipment to continue the services as specified without interruption in the event of mechanical failure of his primary equipment.

C.4.1 Mowers shall be multiple spindle (lawn type) with adjustable side-mounted skids, capable of producing a smooth even cut, with a cutting height adjustable from 3½ to 6 inches. Blades shall be sharpened and/or replaced often enough to assure smooth grass cut. All mowers shall be constructed to distribute grass clipping evenly to prevent clumps or windrows.

C.4.2 Trimming equipment shall consist of power hand mowers, "weed-eaters" or other type power trimmers, weed whips, and other equipment and tools as may be appropriate for the task.

C.5 SPECIFIC TASKS IN MOWING AREAS. All acreages are ESTIMATED. The Contractor shall be responsible for determining exact acreage and conditions affecting performance of work. Many areas consist of rocky terrain and heavily wooded areas, and may require an extensive amount of trimming and hand mowing where larger mowers cannot maneuver satisfactorily. Trimming shall include the removal of sprouts and heavily weeded growth. Prospective bidders are encouraged to visit and fully inspect all areas, accesses, locations, terrain, etc. prior to bidding. The Government shall not be held accountable for conditions at the site which were not taken into account by prospective bidders. Mowing shall be accomplished to within, but not closer than, 24 inches (+/- 6 inches) of the trunk of any tree, bush, or shrub;

and to within, but not closer than, 12 inches (+/- 6 inches) of any inanimate objects, such as walls, posts, signs, park equipment, or other such objects. Height of cut and exact limits of mowing and trimming areas shall be as directed by the Contracting Officer or his Representative. Mowing and trimming operations around buildings and roadsides shall be performed so grass clippings are thrown away from buildings and away from the road whenever possible.

C.5.1 Mowing.

C.5.1.1 WET CONDITIONS: Mowing operations shall not be performed when the ground is so wet that mowing would cause rutting or would otherwise disturb existing turf; or when grass is so wet it will not cut. Tractors shall be operated in such a manner as to protect against the sod being torn by the tractor wheels on turns.

C.5.1.4 MOWERS: All mowers (large and small) shall be compatible with each other in mowing height and appearance of cut grass. After mowing, areas serviced under this contract shall present a neat, well-cared-for, and evenly mowed appearance, free from ruts or any unmowed strips or streaks.

C.5.1 Trimming.

C.5.2.1 AREAS: Trimming is required in all areas. Grass and weeds shall be trimmed around trees, shrubs, buildings, fences, poles, posts, fire hydrants, parking lots, curbs, parking lot bumper blocks (both sides), sidewalks, boulders, and other fixed obstacles.

C.5.2.2 HEIGHT: Trimming height shall match surrounding area grass heights. All areas shall be trimmed simultaneously, or immediately following mowing.

C.5.2.3 CLIPPING REMOVAL: Immediately following trimming, the Contractor shall remove grass clippings or debris deposited as a result of mowing and trimming operations from all sidewalks, entrances into buildings, building interiors, and shelter floor.

C.5.2.4 TREES/SHRUBS: Extreme care shall be exercised when mowing and trimming around trees, bushes, shrubs, buildings, and other objects to insure that equipment does not come in contact with the object. Trees or other objects shall NOT be bumped or scraped by equipment.

Trimming will not be required closer than two (2) inches around trunks of trees, bushes, or shrubs. However, trimming around buildings and inanimate objects shall be accomplished to the last blade of grass. Moveable objects shall be moved and the area around and under such objects shall be mowed and/or trimmed. Immediately following mowing/trimming, such objects shall be returned to their original position. All costs of repair or replacement in size, kind and type resulting from damage by the Contractor's equipment shall be borne by the Contractor. Repair or replacement shall occur within 30 calendar days of noticed damage.

C.6 ANTITERRORISM/OPERATION SECURITY REQUIREMENTS

All contractor and all associated sub-contractors’ employees shall comply with applicable installation, facility and area commander installation/facility access and local security policies and procedures (provided by government representative). The contractor shall also provide all information required for background checks to meet installation/facility access requirements to be accomplished by installation Provost Marshal Office, Director of

Emergency Services or Security Office. Contractor workforce must comply with all personal identity verification requirements (FAR clause 52.204-9, Personal Identity Verification of Contractor Personnel) as directed by DOD, HQDA and/or local policy. In addition to the changes otherwise authorized by the changes clause of this contract, should the Force Protection Condition (FPCON) at any installation or facility change, the Government may require changes in contractor security matters or processes.

The contractor and all associated sub-contractors shall receive a brief/training (CorpsWatch) on the local suspicious activity reporting program. This locally developed training will be used to inform employees of the types of behavior to watch for and instruct employees to report suspicious activity to the project manager, security representative or law enforcement entity. This training shall be completed within 30 calendar days of contract award and within 30 calendar days of new employees commencing performance with the results reported to the COR NLT 5 calendar days after the completion of the training.

The Contractor must pre-screen Candidates using the E-verify Program (http://www.uscis.gov/e-verify) website to meet the established employment eligibility requirements. The Vendor must ensure that the Candidate has two valid forms of Government issued identification prior to enrollment to ensure the correct information is entered into the E-verify system. An initial list of verified/eligible Candidates must be provided to the COR no later than 3 business days after the initial contract award.

Per the E-Verify Website the following exemptions apply:

Employers whose contracts are exempt from the E-Verify federal contractor rule are not required to enroll in E-Verify. A contract is considered exempt if any one of the following applies: (1) It is for fewer than 120 days.
