STEMENT OF WORK

2.0 Agency Background

The Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA) is an independent, executive branch Federal Agency, established under Section 11232 of the National Capital Revitalization and Self-Government Improvement Act of 1997. The Agency is responsible for the functions relating to pretrial services, probation, parole, and offender supervision in the District of Columbia. The mission of the CSOSA is to increase public safety, prevent crime, reduce recidivism, and support the fair administration of justice in close collaboration with the community.

3.0 Scope of Work

The Contractor shall provide all labor, material and assistance necessary in performing administrative investigations for the CSOSA Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) in accordance with the requirements specified herein.

4.0 Description of Services

(1) The Contractor shall work with the CSOSA Director of OPR who will provide general direction in terms of persons who will be interviewed. The Contractor is expected to plan and carry out most work independently.

(2) Services are required to assist in the completion of administrative investigations that involve violations of internal law or regulations, mismanagement, gross waste of funds, abuse of authority, substantial danger to public health and safety, and allegations of employee misconduct. These services will be performed for both CSOSA and the Pretrial Services Agency (an independent component of CSOSA).

(3) As directed, the Contractor shall:

(a) Schedule interviews with witnesses, complainants and subjects of assigned investigations.

(b) Conduct interviews of witnesses, complainants and subjects of investigation by first establishing rapport, and then asking in-depth and follow-up questions (who, what, when, where, how, why). Additionally, obtain written statements from all individuals who were interviewed.

(c) Review agency records to determine if allegations are substantiate or unsubstantiated. In addition, submit copies of records to prove or disprove allegations.

(d) Prepare detailed and accurate reports of investigation, Investigation summary reports, and listing of exhibits in connection with interviews or record reviews. These reports should be comprehensive, logical and grammatically sound.

(e) Conduct additional interviews, record reviews or make grammatical corrections to reports of investigation when investigations lack insufficient information in which to base a decision. (i.e., when completed investigations are submitted to the OPR)

5.0 DELIVERABLES

The Contractor shall provide written reports of investigation, Investigation summary reports, and listing of exhibits to the Government via hard copies and electronic copies, i.e., CD-R.

Deliverables shall be written in a format that is utilized by the Inspector General, OPR’s, other federal agencies or as presented in the sample report provided by the contractor in their quote..

7.0 SECURITY REQUIREMENTS FOR CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL

Note: Security Investigations are not needed at this time, but the Agency may invoke the requirement at anytime during the term of the contract/order by issuing a modification to the contract/order for the security packages.

(1) All Contractor personnel utilized under this contract shall submit to a Government background investigation prior to performing work on-site at any CSOSA facility. The intent and purpose of this investigation is to preclude the assignment of any individual who poses a threat to the Government or successful work completion due to past unlawful or inappropriate behavior. Contractor employees must be U.S. citizens, or be lawfully permitted to reside in the United States and possess a valid work permit.

(2) BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIONS: The Contractor shall ensure that a Contractor employee does not begin work under the Contract until the appropriate background checks are conducted and approved by the CSOSA Office of Security. When a preliminary background check on an individual has been determined to be favorable, the Office of Security will issue an interim employment security approval to the Office of Procurement, who in turn will notify the Contractor. Only at that time may the Contractor notify an individual to begin work at a CSOSA facility.

(3) Derogatory information, falsification of any forms or refuses to supply information and/or forms may be considered justification to reject the individual.

(4) When an individual is selected for contractor support position within CSOSA, the Contractor shall have Contractor personnel complete a background investigation package consisting of the items identified in the table below. The Contractor personnel are generally provided 10 days to complete and return the forms to the Office of Procurement. The following forms will be provided and must be completed:

(5) It is the responsibility of the Contractor, in order to ensure complete coverage for the services specified herein, to maintain an adequate staff of individuals meeting all of the requirements of this Contract. To that end, the Contractor should submit the names of additional individuals, so that the requisite preliminary background checks can be conducted. CSOSA has the right to request any additional information necessary in order to adjudicate the completed background investigation. If a Contractor employee fails to provide any of the above information, or to cooperate with CSOSA Office of Security, the individual will be removed immediately.

(6) Contractor’s Responsibility:

(a) The Contractor shall ensure that no Contractor employee commences performance prior to completion of the background investigation, unless the Office of Security grants approval.

(b) Any individual who has been temporarily removed or resigned may be required to undergo another background investigation before resuming any position. At the discretion of the COTR, the Contractor shall forward the required forms for a reinvestigation to the COTR. Prior to forwarding the forms, the Contractor is responsible for reviewing the forms for completeness. The forms should be forwarded with a cover letter indicating that the forms are for reinvestigation of a current Contractor employee.

(7) Government’s Responsibility:

(a) The Government will conduct a background investigation on all individuals involved in the contract. Derogatory information developed from this investigation may be considered justification to reject the applicant. The Government also reserves the right to reinvestigate all Contractor personnel working on this Contract for any reason.

(b) Upon completion of the background investigation, the Office of Security will review the results to determine suitability for the individual. Primary concern in the review process is to decide if the individual's presence in Agency facilities poses a potential risk to CSOSA, the Government, or the general public.
