CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.237-10 IDENTIFICATION OF UNCOMPENSATED OVERTIME (MAR 2015)

(a) Definitions. As used in this provision--

Adjusted hourly rate (including uncompensated overtime) is the rate that results from multiplying the hourly rate for a 40-hour work week by 40, and then dividing by the proposed hours per week which includes uncompensated overtime hours over and above the standard 40-hour work week. For example, 45 hours proposed on a 40-hour work week basis at $20 per hour would be converted to an uncompensated overtime rate of $17.78 per hour ($20.00 x 40 divided by 45 = $17.78).

Uncompensated overtime means the hours worked without additional compensation in excess of an average of 40 hours per week by direct charge employees who are exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act. Compensated personal absences such as holidays, vacations, and sick leave shall be included in the normal work week for purposes of computing uncompensated overtime hours.

(b)(1) Whenever there is uncompensated overtime, the adjusted hourly rate (including uncompensated overtime), rather than the hourly rate, shall be applied to all proposed hours, whether regular or overtime hours.

(2) All proposed labor hours subject to the adjusted hourly rate (including uncompensated overtime) shall be identified as either regular or overtime hours, by labor categories, and described at the same level of detail. This is applicable to all proposals whether the labor hours are at the prime or subcontract level. This includes uncompensated overtime hours that are in indirect cost pools for personnel whose regular hours are normally charged direct.

(c) The offeror's accounting practices used to estimate uncompensated overtime must be consistent with its cost accounting practices used to accumulate and report uncompensated overtime hours.

(d) Proposals that include unrealistically low labor rates, or that do not otherwise demonstrate cost realism, will be considered in a risk assessment and will be evaluated for award in accordance with that assessment.

(e) The offeror shall include a copy of its policy addressing uncompensated overtime with its proposal.

1.0 SCOPE

The O&M Contractor shall operate, maintain, and support the Relocatable Over-the-Horizon Radar (ROTHR) system in accordance with this performance work statement, 24 hours/day, 7 days/week, 365/366 days/year. The ROTHR system consist of, at a minimum, the Operations Control Center (OCC) system which includes OCC, manned and unmanned ADP and Communications Center; transmit and receive systems, subsystems, shelters;

support facilities, facilities systems and subsystems; system trainer/test bed; air conditioning, mechanical, electrical, fire suppression systems and subsystems; test equipment; and new system configurations upon installation. This effort includes providing support for systems engineering; engineering change proposal analysis; failure analysis;

configuration management; installation and/or testing of field change kits; logistics support including but not limited to spares replenishment and test and support equipment; training; repair/refurbishment services; reverse engineering, and supporting next generation Over-the-Horizon Radar (OTHR) test systems/prototypes and operational systems.

This requirement presents several challenges to the O&M Contractor including having to work with a mature system, dealing with parts obsolescence, sustainment, implementing actions to operate and maintain ROTHR more efficiently, and coordinating with the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Contractor for the system who owns the Level 3 documentation for the radar systems. Detailed technical characteristics, description, and requirements for the ROTHR system are defined in the latest revision of specification ELEX-R-570 REV B, Users Logistics Support Summary (ULSS), Level 1 and 2 documentation, and ROTHR Technical Manuals and COTS manuals located in the Master Technical Library (see PWS Paragraph 9.1).

Overarching Operating Constraints: The Contractor shall ensure that all radar sites are fully staffed during adverse weather conditions or other conditions affecting travel to or from the radar sites. In these situations the Contractor’s on site workforce may be required to remain at the radar site for periods up to 36 hours duration until conditions allow a change of personnel however, the typical duration is less than 24 hours. The only exception are extreme conditions that present a potential threat to the health and/or safety of personnel at the radar site in which case Forces Surveillance Support Center (FSSC) will make a determination to shut down radar operations until the condition is mitigated. Severe storms such as a hurricane may cause a radar site to shut down and send personnel home. The Contractor shall be knowledgeable of historical weather conditions for all geographical areas where the radar sites are located.

- Virginia sites - seasonal snow, ice, storms, flooding, and hurricanes can affect travel to/from these sites.

- Texas sites - seasonal storms and flooding can impact travel to/from these sites. Also, there is approximately a twelve-mile unimproved road leading to the ROTHR Receiver (Rx) site located at Freer, Texas. This road is constructed of Caliche (a calcium carbonate mineral) material and is typically rutted and uneven. Four wheel drive vehicles are typically used to travel this road especially during periods of rain and/or minor flooding. The road becomes impassable during periods of heavy flooding, typically lasting less than 24 hours.

- Puerto Rico Sites - seasonal storms, flooding, lightning, and hurricanes can affect travel to/from these sites. Adverse weather conditions or other interruptions can affect commercial air and marine carriers to/from the ROTHR Transmitter site at the Island of Vieques.

2.0 MISSION & BACKGROUND

The mission of Forces Surveillance Support Center (FSSC) is to provide tactically significant air and maritime track data to JIATF-S, resulting in multiple JIATF-S products that counter illicit trafficking posing a threat to National Security. The ROTHR system supports the National Drug Control strategy with detection and monitoring of the Source Zone through the Transit Zone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. ROTHR is tactically controlled by the Joint Interagency Task Force South (JIATF-S) in Key West, FL.

ROTHR was developed in the mid-1980s during the Cold War to combat the Backfire bomber threat to the US Navy. Fleet Surveillance Support Command (FSSC) was established in 1987 to operate and maintain 13 systems worldwide to provide over-the-horizon surveillance for the carrier battle groups. As the Cold War was ending, a limited production buy of three systems occurred in 1989 with intentions to mothball the systems after acceptance testing. A prototype ROTHR system underwent Operational Evaluation (OPEVAL) in 1989 then deployed to Amchitka, Alaska from 1991 to 1993. The mission changed to detection and monitoring to support counterdrug operations in 1993. Except for military personnel funding, all navy operational funding ceased in 1994 and was replaced by DoD fenced counterdrug funding. ROTHR-VA was declared Full Operational Capability in June 1993.

ROTHR-TX was declared Full Operational Capability in June 1995. ROTHR-PR was declared Full Operational Capability in June 2000. Fleet Surveillance Support Command transitioned to Forces Surveillance Support Center (FSSC) with civilian personnel when all military personnel were returned to the Fleet in September 2004.

ROTHR consists of the Operations Control Center (OCC) system, three land-based, bi-static, high frequency, Doppler radar systems consisting of Transmitter and Receiver sites, and support facilities. The three ROTHR systems are located in Virginia, Texas, and Puerto Rico. ROTHR Virginia Receiver site consists of the Operations Control Center (OCC) system in Bldg. 344, support facilities in Bldg. 310 and Bldg. 344, storage facility in Bldg.

363, and antenna maintenance facility in Bldg. 446 located at Naval Support Activity Hampton Roads, Northwest Annex (NSA HR NW Annex), Ballahack Road, Chesapeake, Virginia. The ROTHR Virginia Transmitter site, consists of a support building (NK-1), Government support building (NK-2), grounds maintenance building (NK-3), and storage building (NK-4), and is located in New Kent County, Virginia. ROTHR Texas Transmitter site consists of a support building (TX-1), grounds maintenance building (TX-2), and electronics maintenance building (TX-3), is located approximately one mile south of the intersection of routes US 281 and TX 141 approximately 20 miles west of Kingsville, Texas. The ROTHR Texas Transmitter site is expanding to include a Transmitter support building and antenna field associated with the Maritime Capability (MARCAP) program. The ROTHR Texas Receiver site consist of support building (TR-1) and a grounds maintenance building (TR-2), and is expanding to include a Receiver support building. The ROTHR Texas Receiver site is located approximately 13 miles on County Road 401 off route TX 44 near the intersection of routes TX 16 and TX 44 in Freer, Texas. ROTHR Puerto Rico Transmitter site, consist of a support building (PX-1), grounds maintenance facility (PX-2), and equipment storage shed (PX-3), and is located on the southwest end of the Island of Vieques, Puerto Rico. The ROTHR Puerto Rico Receiver site consists of a support building (PR-1), and grounds maintenance facility (PR-2), and is located at Fort Allen in Juana Diaz, Puerto Rico approximately 16 miles from Ponce, Puerto Rico. The Government will provide physical security services to protect the radar at both Puerto Rico sites.

A Maritime Capability (MARCAP) initiative is currently in progress to enhance maritime radar capabilities for JIATF-S. As part of this effort, the ROTHR Texas Transmitter site has recently expanded to include an additional eight-element transmitter array and a new transmitter amplifier support building. Meanwhile, the ROTHR Texas Receiver site has deployed a new digital receiver subsystem, which will be integrated into the ROTHR system over the next few years.

The ROTHR Virginia Receiver site is scheduled to install and integrate the digital receiver system between 2026 and 2027. Additionally, plans are in place to expand the ROTHR Virginia Transmitter site to support MARCAP within the next five years. A new maritime signal processing suite is also being introduced to bolster MARCAP, with additional operators scheduled to be deployed as capabilities at both ROTHR Texas and Virginia come online.

In 2027, a new digital receiver subsystem is expected to be installed at the Puerto Rico Receiver site; however, there are currently no plans to expand the ROTHR Puerto Rico Transmitter site to support MARCAP. Planning is underway to replace the antenna towers, supporting array elements (such as dipoles and guywires), and foundations at the ROTHR Puerto Rico Transmitter site within the next three years.

The Watch Supervisor monitors the equipment status and effective performance of the ROTHR System. The Watch Supervisor is responsible for his/her assigned personnel’s performance, training, and professionalism. The Watch Supervisor shall be capable of fulfilling the duties of any functional duties described in this section. The Watch Supervisor communicates with external agencies as it relates to the ROTHR system and the tactical situation.

(2) Senior Radar Operator (SRO) – The Senior Radar Operator (SRO) is responsible to the

Watch Supervisor for the performance of his/her assigned operators. The SRO is responsible for, but not limited to, the following: Monitoring the creation, planning and activation of tasking; Monitoring the creation, planning, activation and assignment of aircraft and maritime surveillance Dwell Illumination Regions (DIRs); Monitoring system status, ensuring the accuracy and correct modeling of the Quasi Vertical Incidence (QVI) and Wideband Sweep Backscatter Ionogram (WSBI) sectors. The SRO is also responsible to the Watch Supervisor for his/her system status and parameters of Dwell Illumination Regions (DIRs) including but not limited to selection of the Coherent Integration Time (CIT), revisit rate, Waveform Repetition Frequency (WRF), Non- Recurrent Waveform (NRWF) and operating frequency. The SRO is responsible for the operations of the Global Command and Control System Joint (GCCS-J).

(3) Resource Management Operator (RMO) - The Resource Management Operator (RMO) function allows the operator to assist with the addition/deletion/modification all the tasking and DIR parameters, which involves selection of operating frequency and adjustment of surveillance parameters to include, but not limited to Direction of Interest, Speed of Interest, waveform repetition frequency, bandwidth, revisit rate, CIT, and Non- Recurrent waveform (NRWF). Allows the operator the ability to assess and adjust the current propagation environment and current radar performance to choose the best available operating parameters over the Surveillance Area (SA). The (RMO) will update, validate and maintain a model, every 12 minutes, of current ionosphere propagation in all sectors to ensure precise performance requirements in tracking accuracy, coordinate conversion tables, predicted detection and optimum operating frequencies are generated from this model. Proper ionospheric model selection is critical to achieving accurate target ground positions and resolving multiple ionospheric propagation modes. Assists the Detection and Tracking Operator (DTO) during times when he/she is not performing the RMO functions.

(4) Detection and Tracking Operator (DTO) – The Detection and Tracking Operator (DTO) function detects and tracks aircraft and maritime contacts in radar slant coordinates, implements a conversion to ground coordinates for verified tracks, and monitors tracking conditions. Allows the operator the ability to monitor and supplement the automatic features of the ROTHR tracker’s target detection and tracking function and to manually validate and report all tracks meeting operational requirements and end users direction and speed of interest. The DTO assists with the parameter selection of assigned Dwell Illumination Regions (DIRs) to provide optimal tracking conditions including but not limited to selection of CIT, revisit rate, WRF, Non-Recurrent waveform and operating frequency.
