GSAR 552.219-72 PREPARATION, SUBMISSION, AND NEGOTIATION OF SUBCONTRACTING PLANS

(OCTOBER 2016)

(a) When submitting a subcontracting plan in accordance with FAR 52.219-9, the offeror shall submit a subcontracting plan with its initial offer. The subcontracting plan will be negotiated concurrently with price and any required technical and management proposals, unless the offeror submits a previously-approved commercial plan.

(b) Maximum practicable utilization of small, HUBZone small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran owned small business concerns as subcontractors is a matter of national interest with both social and economic benefits. The General Services Administration (GSA) expects that an offeror’s subcontracting plan will reflect a commitment to assuring that small, HUBZone small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran owned small business concerns are provided the maximum practicable opportunity, consistent with efficient contract performance, to participate as subcontractors in the performance of the resulting contract. An offeror submitting a commercial plan can reflect this commitment through subcontracting opportunities it provides that relate to the offeror’s production generally; i.e., for both its commercial and Government business.

(c) GSA believes that this potential contract provides significant opportunities for the use of small, HUBZone small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran owned small business concerns as subcontractors. Consequently, in addressing the eleven elements described at FAR 52.219-9(d) of the clause in this contract entitled Small Business Subcontracting Plan, the offeror shall:

(1) Demonstrate that its subcontracting plan represents a creative and innovative program for involving small, HUBZone small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran owned small business concerns in performing the contract.

(2) Include a description of the offeror’s subcontracting strategies used in any previous contracts, significant achievements, and how this plan will build upon those earlier achievements.

(3) Demonstrate through its plan that it understands the small business subcontracting program’s objectives and GSA’s expectations, and it is committed to taking those actions necessary to meet these goals or objectives.

(d) In determining the acceptability of any subcontracting plan, the Contracting Officer will take each of the following actions:

(1) Review the plan to verify that the offeror demonstrates an understanding of the small business subcontracting program’s objectives and GSA’s expectations with respect to the program and has included all the information, goals, and assurances required by FAR 52.219-9.

(2) Consider previous goals and achievements of contractors in the same industry.

(3) Consider information and potential sources obtained from agencies administering national and local preference programs and other advocacy groups in evaluating whether the goals stated in the plan adequately reflect the anticipated potential for subcontracting to small, HUBZone small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran owned small business concerns.

(4) Review the offeror’s description of its strategies, historical performance and significant achievements in placing subcontracts for the same or similar products or services with small, HUBZone small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran owned small business concerns. The offeror’s description can apply to commercial as well as previous Government contracts.

(e) Failure to submit an acceptable subcontracting plan and/or correct deficiencies in a plan within the time specified by the Contracting Officer shall make the offeror ineligible for award.

(End of provision)

M.1. Basis of Award M.2. Past Performance Past performance will be evaluated as a predictor of the offeror’s compliance with contract requirements and overall quality of performance. Past performance will be evaluated on the basis of information received by the Contracting Officer concerning the offeror’s performance on other contracts, including information not submitted by the offeror.141 FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv) states, “In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.” Therefore, failure of the offeror to provide a minimum of three relevant references, and/or the inability of the Government to complete a minimum of three reference checks, after making a reasonable effort to do so, will result in the offeror being rated as “neutral” on the past performance factor M.3.

a. Include all costs for emergency call-back service during normal working in the price per month for standard services. Also include in the price per month for standard services, the cost for overtime associated with the maintenance and testing specifically identified in the solicitation to be performed outside normal working hours. Additional overtime services that may be required will be ordered using the hourly rate specified in B.4.

b. Quote single per hour prices for emergency call-back during other than normal working hours, overtime and additional services (see Exhibit 4 Definitions) regardless of any commitments on the part of the offeror to pay varying salary rates or travel expenses to its employees. These prices must include all expenses for overhead, General and Administrative (G&A) and profit. No separate allowance for travel time, parking, overhead, G&A or profit will be applied when hourly services are used.

c. Offerors are cautioned not to confuse overtime services with additional services. Additional services are defined as any work requested by the Government that is within the scope of this contract but in addition to the contract requirements. Overtime services are defined as work within the scope of the contract originally intended to be performed during normal working hours, where the Government requests the work be performed outside of normal working hours to expedite the return of a piece of equipment to operating condition or to minimize disruption to tenants.

d. The number of hours shown for hourly services represents an estimate of the Government’s anticipated need and is for evaluation purposes only.

e. The term “elevator” is intended to include all elevator, escalator, dumbwaiter, handicapped lift, courtroom lift and wall glider equipment, if applicable, at the location.

f. Offerors should visit the building and become familiar with existing conditions; examine all contract documents relating to this work, and carefully review the requirements contained in this specification.

Offerors shall determine any conditions which affect the work and make a thorough site investigation before submitting an offer. No allowances will be made for failure of an offeror to avail themselves of such information.

g. The GSA Form 300 will describe the service (for orders of $2,500.00 or more) to be provided and will establish, excluding emergencies as determined by the Contracting Officer (CO) or the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), the maximum number of hours for which the contractor will be compensated. Orders of $2,500.00 or less may be processed using the Government-wide commercial purchase card, which is the preferred method. Individual orders for additional services involving more than forty (40) hours will only be issued with the assent of the contractor.

SECTION C – DESCRIPTION, SPECIFICATIONS AND STATEMENT OF

WORK

C.1 General Note The Contracting Officer and the Contracting Officer's Representative will hereafter be referred to as the CO and the COR or CO and designee, respectively.

C.2 Scope of Work The Contractor shall provide full elevator maintenance service, in compliance with the ASME Safety Code requirements, manufacturer's recommendations, Elevator Industry Field Employees’ Safety Handbook, National Electrical Code, and all other applicable laws, regulations, rules, ordinances, codes, etc. Full maintenance service is defined as all services, repairs, inspections and testing necessary to maintain all elevators, appurtenances, and accessories in a fully operational mode at all times except for pre-scheduled downtime including all labor, parts and materials. In part, this includes maintenance and repair of door seals, light bulbs and lighting fixtures in elevator spaces (cars, hoistways, tops and bottoms of cars, and pits), and maintaining acceptable ride quality which may require periodic evaluation and adjustment of guide rails. Reference is made to Section 8.6 of the ASME A17.1 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators which establishes requirements that must be adhered to.

The maintenance contractor must provide all tools, equipment, supplies and personnel necessary for safely performing all tests required by the ASME A17.1 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators and the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). GSA is the AHJ. This includes inspections and tests required at six (6) month, one (1) year, three (3) year and five (5) year intervals, and any other tests determined as necessary by the CO or designee. All tests required by code will be conducted at no additional cost to the government regardless of when the testing is performed.

C.2.1 Governing Factors in Determining the Adequacy of Elevator Maintenance The adequacy of the elevator maintenance will be determined based on the following factors: measurement of elevator speed, door opening and closing time, performance time, door closing force, floor to floor performance time, mean time between service calls, ride quality, stopping accuracy, downtime, customer feedback, number of repeat service calls, timeliness and quality of service call responses and corrective action, frequency of outages and entrapments, quality and timeliness of preventive maintenance and repairs, timeliness and adequacy of testing and inspection as well as the quality and timeliness of repairs or adjustments identified as a result of tests and inspections. The contractor may be required to verify and provide documentation of the performance measurements referenced during the course of the contract.

A critical component of this performance specification is the contractor’s Maintenance Control Plan (MCP).

The contractor is required to submit a MCP acceptable to the CO or designee and document compliance with the plan through the use of required service call and preventative maintenance logs. Any deviation from the performance standards identified in Section J/Exhibit 2 shall be justified to and approved by the CO or their designee in writing.

All equipment shall be maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, the best practices of the industry, and applicable codes, standards and regulations. If a conflict arises between these standards, the Authority Having Jurisdiction (GSA) will determine the appropriate application.

Within fifteen (15) days after award and no later than the contract start date, whichever is earlier, a copy of the MCP will be provided to the CO or their designee. The MCP must be reviewed and approved by the CO or their designee. Failure to provide a MCP that is fully compliant may result in withholding of payments and/or contract termination. The ASME A17.1 Section 8.6.1.2.1 states: “The MCP shall specify examinations, tests, cleaning, lubrication, and adjustments to applicable components at regular intervals.”

The MCP must identify the specific maintenance tasks and frequencies at which they will be performed.

These tasks must be based on the manufacturer’s recommendations, the type and age of the equipment, the accumulated wear, the environment the equipment is located in, the level and manner of use of the equipment, and any other influencing factors that may require varying levels of maintenance.

These tasks may be organized in groups relating to the location of the tasks being performed, but the individual elements of the each task must be delineated separately. The MCP shall be transmitted electronically to the CO or designee for approval. Once approved, the MCP will be maintained electronically and a current copy maintained/posted in each elevator machine room.

The MCP shall be reviewed regularly by the Contractor to ensure its continued relevance, updating as appropriate to reflect any changes in equipment, condition or use. The updated MCP shall be transmitted electronically to the CO or designee for approval and an updated copy available in each elevator machine room. GSA may request a review of the plan at any time, to ensure its continued suitability and effectiveness.

The contractor shall maintain a preventive maintenance log for each elevator to document compliance with the MCP. A detailed log of all service calls, in compliance with the MCP requirements, shall also be maintained for each elevator. This is in addition to the requirement to submit a report monthly of all work performed. These records represent the official maintenance history of the equipment and as such are the property of GSA. These records must be maintained and secured in the elevator machine room and electronically and remain the property of the Government at the conclusion of this contract. This includes all historical records of maintenance, repair, service calls, warranties, etc. The Contractor must not dispose of any equipment records.
