SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION H - SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

The following have been modified:

SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

H-1 PROJECT DISTRIBUTION:

It is estimated that the maximum dollar amount of this IDIQ contract will be distributed approximately as follows:

100%

The above information is provided for estimating and planning purposes only. This information does not obligate the Government to meet this workload distribution in any way. Actual distribution of projects may vary from the above.

H-2 INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK

H-3 STATUTORY COST LIMITATIONS:

Some delivery orders may be subject to a statutory cost limitation. In those instances the following provision, DFARS 252.236-7006 “Cost Limitation (Jan 1997)” shall apply and it shall be referenced in those delivery orders.

H-4 BONDS:

a. The initial bond amount is based upon the contract minimum (est $300,000.00). When the value of delivery orders in progress exceeds the existing bonding, the contracting officer may require additional bond protection by directing the contractor to increase the penal amount of the existing bond, or to obtain additional bonds. Although the amount of the initial bond is based on the minimum dollar amount, bond premium costs should be included in the coefficients as an indirect cost based on the estimated annual contract amount of $9M, not just the bonding requirements imposed for the minimum amount at award. In accordance with FAR 52.232-5, the government will reimburse the contractor for bond premiums upon request if the contractor provides evidence of full payment of such premiums to the surety. Payment for such premiums will be treated the same as all other progress payments made under delivery orders. Payments for bond premiums, at any time during contract performance, are not additional costs under the contract.

b. BID BOND: A proposal/bid bond is not required with the proposal.

c. PERFORMANCE AND PAYMENT BONDS: The contractor shall submit a Performance Bond (Standard Form 25) and a Payment Bond (Standard Form 25-A) with good and sufficient surety or sureties to the Government. The penal sum of such bonds will be as follows:

· PERFORMANCE BONDS: The penal amount of the performance bond shall equal one hundred percent (100%) of each delivery order issued.

· PAYMENT BONDS: The penal amount of the performance bond shall equal one hundred percent (100%) of each delivery order issued.

· Contractor selected for contract award must have the capability to obtain Performance and Payments bonds at the aggregate value of $9M in the event that an active workload of such value exists.

Required performance and payment bonds will be furnished by the contractor to the Government prior to commencement of contract performance. Performance and payment bonds, in the amounts stated above, will also be required for any options exercised.

H-5 CONTRACT PHASE-IN/PHASE-OUT:

a. The contractor shall commence any mobilization and familiarization activities prior to actual work on individual delivery orders as soon after contract award as practicable. However, within 15 calendar days after contract award, the contractor shall mobilize the necessary personnel and equipment to estimate and negotiate requirements. The contractor shall have fully operational field offices with all required facilities, staff and automated data processing (ADP) capabilities within thirty (30) calendar days after contract award.

b. Contractor must vacate government furnished office space and storage areas on the last day of the contract period. Premises must be returned in the same condition in which they were received or as agreed to by the contracting officer. All ongoing delivery orders must be completed from an approved field office or off-base location.

H-6 DAVIS-BACON WAGE RATE(s) APPLICATION

a. This contract is an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) requirement and contains options to extend the term of the contract. The specific sites of performance for the various delivery orders that may be issued are unknown. The wage determination issued under the Davis-Bacon Act by the Administrator, Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, current at time of award or at the exercise of each option to extend the term of the contract, shall be incorporated into the contract in full text and, as applicable, by reference into each delivery order issued during each performance period. They shall be effective for the complete period of performance of those delivery orders without further revision.

b. Each offeror is provided an opportunity to propose separate prices/coefficients for the basic and each option period. Additionally at the beginning of each option period, a new Unit Pre-Priced Database (i.e. the Means Facilities Composite Database) with current year pricing will be incorporated and used to price individual projects in conformance with the terms and conditions specified herein. Therefore, no further adjustment to contract pricing will be permitted to cover any increase or decrease in wages and benefits as a result of:

(1) Incorporation of the wage determination(s) applicable at the exercise of the option to extend the term of the contract.

(2) Incorporation of a wage determination(s) otherwise applied to the contract by operation of law; or

(3) An increase in wages and benefits resulting from any other requirement applicable to workers subject to the Davis-Bacon Act.

H-7 PRE-PROPOSAL CONFERENCE

H-11 INSURANCE

The following insurance will be required IAW FAR 28.307-2:

Workers’ compensation and employer’s liability. Contractors are required to comply with applicable Federal and State workers’ compensation and occupational disease statutes. If occupational diseases are not compensable under those statutes, they shall be covered under the employer’s liability section of the insurance policy, except when contract operations are so commingled with a contractor’s commercial operations that it would not be practical to require this coverage. Employer’s liability coverage of at least $100,000 shall be required, except in States with exclusive or monopolistic funds that do not permit workers’ compensation to be written by private carriers. (See 28.305(c) for treatment of contracts subject to the Defense Base Act.)

General liability:

- The contracting officer shall require bodily injury liability insurance coverage written on the comprehensive form of policy of at least $500,000 per occurrence.

- Property damage liability insurance shall be required only in special circumstances as determined by the agency.

Automobile liability. The contracting officer shall require automobile liability insurance written on the comprehensive form of policy. The policy shall provide for bodily injury and property damage liability covering the operation of all automobiles used in connection with performing the contract. Policies covering automobiles operated in the United States shall provide coverage of at least $200,000 per person and $500,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and $20,000 per occurrence for property damage. The amount of liability coverage on other policies shall be commensurate with any legal requirements of the locality and sufficient to meet normal and customary claims.

H-12 PERSONNEL SECURITY PROGRAM MANAGEMENT - AFI 31-501 (20 Aug 2010)

The contractor shall not employ any person for work on this contract if such employee is identified as a potential threat to the health, safety, security, general well-being or operational mission of the installation and its population, nor shall the contractor employ any person under this contract who has an outstanding criminal warrant as identified by the National Agency Check with Inquires Crime (NACI). NACI checks will verify if a person is wanted by local, state, and federal agencies. All contractor personnel must consent to NACI background checks. Contractor personnel who do not consent to an NACI check will be denied access to the installation. Information required to conduct an NACI check includes: full name, driver's license number/state issued/expiration date, social security number, and date of birth of the person entering the installation and shall be submitted in conjunction with the contractor's request for vehicle passes. Completion of a successful NACI check does not invalidate the requirement for an escort when contractor personnel are working within controlled or restricted areas.

Contractors shall ensure their employees and those of their subcontractors have the proper credentials allowing them to work in the United States. Persons later found to be undocumented or illegal aliens will be remanded to the proper authorities.

The contractor shall not be entitled to any compensation for delays or expenses associated with complying with the provisions of this clause. Furthermore, nothing in this clause shall excuse the contractor from proceeding with the contract as required. The contractor shall flow this clause down to all subcontracts.
