The performance start date for the Base period may be adjusted to reflect the actual contract effective date.

C. Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) 0001 represents repetitive, recurring support services that are priced on a firm-fixed price basis. This CLIN constitutes the core of performance.

The prices shown for this CLIN shall include all labor, equipment, tools, vehicles, any applicable material and any applicable transition costs necessary to perform the work.

The Contractor will be paid the fixed monthly rate to perform these routine, daily services as specified in Section C, paragraph C.4 of the Statement of Work and all Attachments thereof.

The Government will assess Contractor deductions for non-performance as stated in Section F.8. The Government reserves the right to negotiate an equitable adjustment (lower or higher) for CLIN X001 monthly charges if a significant difference between the estimated and actual workloads occur during the life of the contract.

D. CLIN 0002 represents all categories of labor necessary to perform various mail, warehouse, moving, copying, and other administrative support services as defined in the Statement of Work, Section C. This work will be performed via the issuance of task orders on an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) basis as discussed in Section H.2. Task orders may be issued on a firm-fixed price or labor hour basis, or any combination thereof, utilizing the labor categories listed at the sub-line item number (SLIN) level. The purpose of this CLIN is to provide a vehicle for ordering support services that are relevant to the current, firm-fixed price operations, or are otherwise determined to be within the general scope of this effort, but have unknown delivery and unknown quantity requirements. For example, additional mail runs occurring on a one-time or infrequent basis for either a short or extended duration of time; copying and reproduction services; moving services; or secretarial and administrative support.

E. Additional Labor categories will be added to CLIN 0002 as mutually agreed by the Government and the Contractor. Upon identification of additional labor categories required by either party, a contract modification will be executed to ensure delivery of the services required at any time during the performance of this contract. Any labor categories added subsequent to award are subject to the Service Contract Act (SCA) and appropriate Department of Labor (DOL) Wage Determination as discussed elsewhere in this contract.

F. The Contractor may be required to perform services under CLIN 0002 at a location outside of the Washington, DC metropolitan area (See Section B.3). Only in this particular instance may the Contractor charge allowable costs as defined in CLINs 0004 and 0005.

However, only hours worked may be billed and only at straight-time rates (unit prices).

H. Minimum and Maximum Quantities/Amounts for CLINs 0002 - 0005

1. The Government is not obligated to order any support services under CLINs 0002 - 0005 of this contract. In the event the Government makes the determination that support services under CLINs 0002 – 0005 are necessary, $100,000 shall constitute the minimum guarantee during the base period of performance. For any support services ordered under CLINs 0002 - 0005 of this contract, the specific CLINs and quantities will be identified in the task order(s) issued hereunder. The exercise of renewal options (see Section F.4 A.2) does not re-establish the contract minimum. During the life of this contract, the Department of Justice may order items in any quantity up to the maximum amount specified in paragraph 2 below.

2. There are no maximum quantities/amounts for CLINs 0002 - 0005, or per contract period. The maximum aggregate amount of all task orders issued under this contract shall not exceed five (5) times the total cost evaluation amount for CLINs 0002 and 0003 as shown in the pricing table as Attachment 3 (see also L.13.1.4). This maximum ordering limitation represents the Department=s best estimate of contract support which may be required under the program as described in Section C.
