4.3. Place of Performance. Contractor facility and various CONUS and OCONUS locations listed in Attachment 2.

4.4. Travel and Other Direct Costs.

4. 4. 1 The contractor may incur incidental costs supporting the performance of required services under this PWS. Examples of items that fall into the ODC category include: incidental services, special tooling and test equipment, computer services, consultant services, travel, federal excise taxes, royalties, preservation, packaging, and packing costs, and preproduction costs. The COR and the CO must approve any contractor ODC requests prior to incurring any expenses.

ODCs - Non-Travel:

Special Note of Emphasis: The FAR prohibits the purchase of items greater than $3,500 that were not synopsized in sufficient detail to comply with posting requirements of FAR 5.207. Thus, government organizations cannot use the ODC CLIN as a checkbook to purchase software or equipment at a later date in the future. Over-funding the ODC CLIN does not provide a legal avenue to purchase software or equipment at a later date for items that were not identified in sufficient detail to allow the contractor to price them in their proposal and for the Government CO to accomplish a price evaluation as part of the contract award (FAR 5.202(a)(11)). Likewise, a contractor cannot be legally tasked to perform the inherently governmental functions of FAR 5.101 which mandates the CO’s use of a synopsis and government wide point of entry (Fed Biz Ops) for requirements over $25,000 and the use of a public display for requirements between $3,500 and $25,000.

ODC purchases under $3,500 (Micro-purchase) The contractor, with the permission of the COR and the CO can purchase ODC items below $3,500 through their own purchasing systems the FAR does not have a mandatory posting requirement below this threshold.

ODCs greater than $3,500 (materials were identified in sufficient detail) If the request for proposal (RFP) associated with the award included a list of materials in sufficient detail so that it allowed the contractor to price the items in their proposal and the cognizant contracting officer was able to determine the pricing of the items to be fair and reasonable, then “those” items over $3,500 may be purchased against the ODC line items. However, this does not give permission for additional items that were not included with the RFP to be acquired under this method.

ODCs greater than $3,500 (materials were not identified in sufficient detail) The contractor shall not be tasked to provide ODC items in excess of $3,500 that were not identified in the RFP in sufficient detail as to allow for the exclusion under FAR 5.202(a)(11).

ODCs – Travel:

The contractor may be required to travel in performance of this PWS. All travel arrangements shall be the responsibility of the contractor, to include airline, hotel, and rental car reservations.

The contractor shall make all efforts to schedule travel enough in advance to take advantage of reduced airfares. Airfare shall be the prevailing rates for commercial airlines at coach class. When required, the most reasonable means of ground transportation (i.e. taxi, bus, rental car) shall also be used. At least five business days prior to the travel start date, the contractor shall submit a travel itinerary and estimated cost to the COR. The COR will confirm the need for travel, and the CO will confirm the availability of funds. Five workdays after conclusion of travel, a trip report will be submitted to the COR for approval (A007). Travel will be reimbursed at allowable cost in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 31.205-46, Travel Costs as applicable, in effect on the date(s) the travel is performed. All invoices for travel reimbursement shall be accompanied by supporting receipts and submitted into WAWF within one month after completion of the trip. The Government will not reimburse local travel and related expenses to the contractor for daily travel to or from work at locations identified in Attachment 2. Travel locations are included as Attachment 1 to the PWS.

4. 4. 2 Temporary Duty/Travel Requirements. Individuals supporting the AF EOD Technical Support effort may require travel to both CONUS and OCONUS locations. Although work will normally be performed in an office environment, a current United States passport is required. Visas will be obtained for both potential and confirmed entry to foreign countries when possible.

It is anticipated that travel to OCONUS locations will be required. Travel to OCONUS destinations will require a passport/visa. The contractor shall ensure all personnel possess current passports, visas and OCONUS Common Access Cards (CAC), as required. The contractor shall ensure all personnel possess the necessary immunizations for travel to designated high-risk areas.

Contractor personnel may come in contact with Military EOD personnel whom have been exposed to bodily fluids and pathogens, therefore all contractor personnel are encouraged to have current immunizations such as hepatitis A, MMR/MR, polio, influenza, typhoid, yellow fever, meningococcal, anthrax vaccination and/or any other required vaccination prior to start of Period of Performance.

4. 4. 3 OCONUS Relocation Costs: OCONUS Relocation will be a cost reimbursable contract line item to the contractor. The Contracting Officer and COR will validate the anticipated relocation costs prior to the contractor incurring these costs IAW FAR 31.205-35. The contractor shall submit a relocation travel itinerary and estimated cost for approval by the CO and COR. Estimated amounts in the contract shall not be exceeded unless authorized by the CO.

4.5. Hours of Operation. Air Force normal duty hours are 0730-1630 Monday through Friday with the exception of Federal Holidays. Federal holidays are defined as the dates the following holidays are observed: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King’s Birthday, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veteran’s Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, other federal holidays declared by Congress or the President, and base closures, to include closures due to inclement weather.

Personnel may be required to support short notice adjustments to the daily work hours as required.

4.6 Continuity of Operations. Contractors shall ensure continuation of services during personnel absences due to sickness, leave, and voluntary or involuntary termination from employment such that impact to the government is minimal. When changes in personnel are required, the contractor shall provide a notice to both the COR and the Contracting Officer for validation immediately, but no less than two weeks in advance of the proposed replacement/substitution. Notice shall include written justification for the change and a sufficiently detailed qualification summary/resume of proposed personnel to permit Government evaluation and COR validation of skill sets. The government reserves the right to reject candidates if they do not meet the skill sets in accordance with PWS para 4.1. If Contractor personnel are terminated or resign, a notification shall be communicated to the Contracting Officer and COR within one business day of employee notice.

4.7 Mission Essential Personnel. Contractor shall ensure personnel required to accomplish tasks designated as “mission essential personnel” report to assigned work locations (or Government Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) designated facilities) and perform required tasks, regardless of weather or security conditions. The government has identified all tasks within the PWS as mission essential. The contractor shall provide a list of essential personnel required to perform the tasks to CO and COR no later than 10 business days after contract start (A006).

This list will be maintained by the contractor with updates provided to the CO and COR with any personnel changes or as required. The CO and/or COR will be responsible for providing government security personnel with list of contractor “mission essential personnel” to enable access to government facilities when “non-essential” personnel are barred. Contractor shall operate in accordance with DoDI 3020.37, Continuation of Essential DOD Contractor Services during Crisis.

4.8 Surge Hours. At the discretion of the COR and CO, surge dollars may be authorized for periods or tasking that require immediate or sustained effort deemed out of the ordinary and require the contractor to exceed the hours of operation prescribed in the PWS. An example of this could be contractor support of a crisis situation that may require the contractor to work beyond the normal work hours.

All work to be performed under this CLIN will be identified and approved by the COR and the CO. The CO will request the contractor submit a quote for this effort based on the COR’s determination. The COR and the CO will then evaluate the quote. Upon approval by the COR and the CO, a modification will be issued to exercise the surge

CLIN.

Within 30 days from the completion of the surge services the contractor shall submit an invoice. The contractor will invoice on a labor hour and labor rate basis (not exceeding the approved surge dollar estimate). The labor categories and rates proposed and invoiced will be based on the labor categories and rates negotiated at time of contract award. A word of caution – the contractor shall not be reimbursed for Surge Hours unless it includes with its invoice, written approval by the CO and concurrence from the COR to incur costs under the Surge Hour CLIN for a particular special event. The decision of whether work to be performed is chargeable to Surge Hours rests solely with the Government. The COR not approving Surge Hours shall not be construed by the contractor as being a reason for an excusable delay or providing the basis for failing to provide the services required by the contract.

4.8 Contractor Furnished Items and Services. Except for those items or services specifically stated in Section 3 as items incidental to the place of performance, the contractor shall furnish everything needed to perform this contract.
