ALL OCCUPATIONS LISTED ABOVE RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS:

HEALTH & WELFARE: $3.59 per hour or $143.60 per week or $622.27 per month

VACATION: 2 weeks paid vacation after 1 year of service with a contractor or successor; 3 weeks after 5 years, and 4 weeks after 15 years. Length of service includes the whole span of continuous service with the present contractor or successor, wherever employed, and with the predecessor contractors in the performance of similar work at the same Federal facility. (Reg. 29 CFR 4.173)

HOLIDAYS: A minimum of ten paid holidays per year, New Year's Day, Martin Luther

King Jr's Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor

Day, Columbus Day, Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. (A contractor may substitute for any of the named holidays another day off with pay in accordance with a plan communicated to the employees involved.) (See 29 CFR 4174)

THE OCCUPATIONS WHICH HAVE NUMBERED FOOTNOTES IN PARENTHESES RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING:

1) COMPUTER EMPLOYEES: Under the SCA at section 8(b), this wage determination does not apply to any employee who individually qualifies as a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional employee as defined in 29 C.F.R. Part 541. Because most Computer System Analysts and Computer Programmers who are compensated at a rate not less than $27.63 (or on a salary or fee basis at a rate not less than $455 per week) an hour would likely qualify as exempt computer professionals, (29 C.F.R. 541.

400) wage rates may not be listed on this wage determination for all occupations within those job families. In addition, because this wage determination may not list a wage rate for some or all occupations within those job families if the survey data indicates that the prevailing wage rate for the occupation equals or exceeds

$27.63 per hour conformances may be necessary for certain nonexempt employees. For example, if an individual employee is nonexempt but nevertheless performs duties within the scope of one of the Computer Systems Analyst or Computer Programmer occupations for which this wage determination does not specify an SCA wage rate, then the wage rate for that employee must be conformed in accordance with the conformance procedures described in the conformance note included on this wage determination.

Additionally, because job titles vary widely and change quickly in the computer industry, job titles are not determinative of the application of the computer professional exemption. Therefore, the exemption applies only to computer employees who satisfy the compensation requirements and whose primary duty consists of:

(1) The application of systems analysis techniques and procedures, including consulting with users, to determine hardware, software or system functional specifications;

(2) The design, development, documentation, analysis, creation, testing or modification of computer systems or programs, including prototypes, based on and related to user or system design specifications;

(3) The design, documentation, testing, creation or modification of computer programs related to machine operating systems; or

(4) A combination of the aforementioned duties, the performance of which requires the same level of skills. (29 C.F.R. 541.400).

2) AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS AND WEATHER OBSERVERS - NIGHT PAY & SUNDAY PAY: If you work at night as part of a regular tour of duty, you will earn a night differential and receive an additional 10% of basic pay for any hours worked between 6pm and 6am.

If you are a full-time employed (40 hours a week) and Sunday is part of your regularly scheduled workweek, you are paid at your rate of basic pay plus a Sunday premium of 25% of your basic rate for each hour of Sunday work which is not overtime

(i.e. occasional work on Sunday outside the normal tour of duty is considered overtime work).

HAZARDOUS PAY DIFFERENTIAL: An 8 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position that represents a high degree of hazard when working with or in close proximity to ordinance, explosives, and incendiary materials. This includes work such as screening, blending, dying, mixing, and pressing of sensitive ordance, explosives, and pyrotechnic compositions such as lead azide, black powder and photoflash powder. All dry-house activities involving propellants or explosives.

Demilitarization, modification, renovation, demolition, and maintenance operations on sensitive ordnance, explosives and incendiary materials. All operations involving regrading and cleaning of artillery ranges.

A 4 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position that represents a low degree of hazard when working with, or in close proximity to ordance, (or employees possibly adjacent to) explosives and incendiary materials which involves potential injury such as laceration of hands, face, or arms of the employee engaged in the operation, irritation of the skin, minor burns and the like; minimal damage to immediate or adjacent work area or equipment being used.

All operations involving, unloading, storage, and hauling of ordance, explosive, and incendiary ordnance material other than small arms ammunition. These differentials are only applicable to work that has been specifically designated by the agency for ordance, explosives, and incendiary material differential pay.

** UNIFORM ALLOWANCE **

If employees are required to wear uniforms in the performance of this contract

(either by the terms of the Government contract, by the employer, by the state or local law, etc.), the cost of furnishing such uniforms and maintaining (by laundering or dry cleaning) such uniforms is an expense that may not be borne by an employee where such cost reduces the hourly rate below that required by the wage determination. The Department of Labor will accept payment in accordance with the following standards as compliance:

The contractor or subcontractor is required to furnish all employees with an adequate number of uniforms without cost or to reimburse employees for the actual cost of the uniforms. In addition, where uniform cleaning and maintenance is made the responsibility of the employee, all contractors and subcontractors subject to this wage determination shall (in the absence of a bona fide collective bargaining agreement providing for a different amount, or the furnishing of contrary affirmative proof as to the actual cost), reimburse all employees for such cleaning and maintenance at a rate of $3.35 per week (or $.67 cents per day). However, in those instances where the uniforms furnished are made of "wash and wear" materials, may be routinely washed and dried with other personal garments, and do not require any special treatment such as dry cleaning, daily washing, or commercial laundering in order to meet the cleanliness or appearance standards set by the terms of the Government contract, by the contractor, by law, or by the nature of the work, there is no requirement that employees be reimbursed for uniform maintenance costs.

The duties of employees under job titles listed are those described in the

"Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations", Fifth Edition, April 2006, unless otherwise indicated. Copies of the Directory are available on the Internet. A links to the Directory may be found on the WHD home page at http://www.dol.

REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL CLASSIFICATION AND WAGE RATE {Standard Form

1444 (SF 1444)}

Conformance Process:

The contracting officer shall require that any class of service employee which is not listed herein and which is to be employed under the contract (i.e., the work to be performed is not performed by any classification listed in the wage determination), be classified by the contractor so as to provide a reasonable relationship (i.e., appropriate level of skill comparison) between such unlisted classifications and the classifications listed in the wage determination. Such conformed classes of employees shall be paid the monetary wages and furnished the fringe benefits as are determined. Such conforming process shall be initiated by the contractor prior to the performance of contract work by such unlisted class(es) of employees. The conformed classification, wage rate, and/or fringe benefits shall be retroactive to the commencement date of the contract. {See Section 4.6 (C)(vi)}

When multiple wage determinations are included in a contract, a separate SF 1444 should be prepared for each wage determination to which a class(es) is to be conformed.

The process for preparing a conformance request is as follows:

1) When preparing the bid, the contractor identifies the need for a conformed occupation(s) and computes a proposed rate(s).

2) After contract award, the contractor prepares a written report listing in order proposed classification title(s), a Federal grade equivalency (FGE) for each proposed classification(s), job description(s), and rationale for proposed wage rate(s), including information regarding the agreement or disagreement of the authorized representative of the employees involved, or where there is no authorized representative, the employees themselves. This report should be submitted to the contracting officer no later than 30 days after such unlisted class(es) of employees performs any contract work.

3) The contracting officer reviews the proposed action and promptly submits a report of the action, together with the agency's recommendations and pertinent information including the position of the contractor and the employees, to the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, for review. (See section 4.6(b)(2) of Regulations 29 CFR Part 4).

4) Within 30 days of receipt, the Wage and Hour Division approves, modifies, or disapproves the action via transmittal to the agency contracting officer, or notifies the contracting officer that additional time will be required to process the request.

5) The contracting officer transmits the Wage and Hour decision to the contractor.

6) The contractor informs the affected employees.

Information required by the Regulations must be submitted on SF 1444 or bond paper.

When preparing a conformance request, the "Service Contract Act Directory of

Occupations" (the Directory) should be used to compare job definitions to insure that duties requested are not performed by a classification already listed in the wage determination. Remember, it is not the job title, but the required tasks that determine whether a class is included in an established wage determination.

Conformances may not be used to artificially split, combine, or subdivide classifications listed in the wage determination.

The following have been modified:

ADDENDUM 52.212-2 EVALUATION

Addendum to 52.212-2 EVALUATION—COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 199) Addenda to 52.212-2(a), the paragraph is tailored as follows: Paragraph (a) is deleted in its entirety and replaced with “Addenda to 52.212-2”.

Addenda to 52.212-2(b), Options. This paragraph is deleted in its entirety and replaced with paragraph “G” below under “Addenda to 52.212-2”.

Addenda to 52.212-2(c), Written Notice of Award. This paragraph is deleted in its entirety and replaced with paragraph “H” below under “Addenda to 52.212-2”.

This is a competitive best value source selection in which competing offerors’ past performance history will be evaluated on a basis significantly more important than price. For this procurement, the award will be made based on a Performance Price Trade-off without technical factors (PPT) approach. However, price will contribute substantially to the selection decision. The Government will award a Multiple – Award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract resulting from this solicitation to a minimum of two (2) and no more than three (3) reasonably priced, technically acceptable, responsible offeror’s whose proposal conforms to the solicitation offers the best value to the Government. After award of the Multiple-Award (ID/IQ) the task orders will be based on Fair Opportunity in accordance with FAR 52.216-18. FAR 13.5 -- Test Program for Certain Commercial Items will be used employing the simplified procedures authorized by the test program to the maximum extent practicable.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

(1) TECHNICAL ACCEPTABILITY

(2) PRICE

(3) PAST PERFORMANCE

By submission of its offer, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications.

A. Technical Acceptability: The Government will first evaluate the technical acceptability of all timely proposals. To be eligible for award a quote must be technically acceptable. A vendor’s proposal/response will be determined technically acceptable if it meets the requirements of the following factor and is determined Technically Acceptable. Any proposal that fails to meet the requirements is rated technically unacceptable will be ineligible for award. The agency reserves the right to not consider vendors determined technically unacceptable for award, in the absence of discussions, and to reject the proposal without further consideration for award.

Acceptance of Requirements. In order to be determined Technically Acceptable, vendors must take no exception to the Performance Work Statement, Bid Schedule, and requirements of the RFP. The vendor shall submit the following “Acceptable” statement verbatim: “Insert Proposer/Company Name, takes no exception to the Performance Work Statement, Bid Schedule, and requirements of the RFP. If awarded, (Insert Proposer/Company Name), will have the required qualified personnel in place at the required locations (s) on the first day of the Period of Performance.” Omission of any of the language required in this statement will result in a determination of Technically Unacceptable.

B. Price Evaluation: Next, the Government will rank all Technically Acceptable offers by evaluated price, including option prices. An offeror’s proposed prices will be determined by multiplying the estimated quantities identified in the bid schedule by the proposed unit price for each CLIN to determine the extended amount for each CLIN. Totals for each CLIN will then be totaled to determine the total price for each offeror. The price evaluation will document reasonableness of the proposed total evaluated price. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if unit prices or option prices are significantly unbalanced. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items is significantly over or under stated as indicated by the application of price analysis techniques. The government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the proposed prices are significantly unbalanced, and an offer may be rejected if the contracting officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). The prices in this quote must not include any allowance to cover increased costs for which adjustment is provided under FAR 52.222-43 clause. Any SCA component escalation will render the quote ineligible for award and the Agency will not consider the quote for award in the absence of discussions. Failure to fill in all spaces for unit and total CLIN prices or altering the Bid Schedule will render the quote ineligible for award and the Agency will not consider the quote for award in absence of discussions.

C. Performance Confidence Assessment. Using questionnaires and data independently obtained from other Government and commercial sources, the contracting officer will evaluate relevant and recent past performance information of acceptable offerors based on (1) the past and present effort provided by the offeror and (2) data independently obtained from government and commercial sources. The government reserves the right to seek and obtain relevant past performance information from a variety of sources to include the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) and the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), and the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS). Relevant performance includes performance of efforts involving telecommunication and maintenance support services that are similar or greater in scope, magnitude and/or complexity than the effort described in this solicitation. The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to allow the Government to assess the offeror’s ability to perform the effort described in this RFP, based on the offeror’s demonstrated present and past performance. The assessment process will result in an overall performance confidence assessment of Substantial Confidence, Satisfactory Confidence, Unknown Confidence, Limited Confidence, or No Confidence, as defined in AFFARS Mandatory Procedures 5315.3, Table 3. Past performance regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, or sub-contractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement will be rated as highly as past performance information for the principal offeror. Offerors with no relevant past or present performance history shall receive the rating "Unknown Confidence," meaning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably. Past or present performance effort will be evaluated for recency, relevancy, and quality of performance.

(3) Recency: Present and Past performance efforts will first be evaluated for recency. To be recent, some portion of the performance effort must have occurred within the last three years prior to the issue date of the solicitation. Among those performance efforts qualifying as recent, more weight will be given to those efforts occurring later in the period than those occurring earlier in the period. More recent efforts will be given greater weight than less recent efforts. Performance not qualifying as recent will not be further evaluated or considered.

(4) Relevancy: The Government will next evaluate the relevancy of performance that qualified as recent. Relevant performance includes Clinical Research services that are similar or greater in scope, magnitude and complexity than the effort described in this solicitation. Performance qualifying as relevant will be categorized as Very Relevant, Relevant, or Somewhat Relevant. More relevant performance will be given more weight than less relevant performance. Performance that is not relevant will not be further evaluated or considered. The relevancy definitions are as follows:

a. Very Relevant: Provides all of the following under a single contract: (1) 50,000 or more man-hours of medical research services per year as defined in the Performance Work Statement. (2) Performance must have been in a government healthcare setting, a civilian healthcare setting or in a university research setting. (3) Performance must have included seven of the nine services in following categories: (a) Research Project Facilitator service, (b) Research medical laboratory Technologist service, (c) Research Assistant service, (d) Research Director Assistant service, (e) Research Laboratory Assistant service, (f) Research Biostatistician service, (g) Animal Surgical Research Technician service, (h) Protocol Administrative Technician service, or (i) Clinical Research Coordinator service.

b. Relevant: Relevant performance fails to meet all requirements for Very Relevant but meets all of the following: Provides the following under a single contract (1) 30,000 or more man-hours of medical research services per year as defined in the Performance Work Statement. (2) Performance must have been in a government healthcare setting, a civilian healthcare setting or in a university research setting. (3) Performance must have included five of the nine services in following categories: (a) Research Project Facilitator service, (b) Research medical laboratory Technologist service, (c) Research Assistant service, (d) Research Director Assistant service, (e) Research Laboratory Assistant service, (f) Research Biostatistician service, (g) Animal Surgical Research Technician service, (h) Protocol Administrative Technician service, or (i) Clinical Research Coordinator service.

c. Somewhat Relevant: Somewhat Relevant performance fails to meet all requirements for Very Relevant or Relevant but meets all of the following: Provides the following under a single contract (1) 20,000 or more man-hours of medical research services per year as defined in the Performance Work Statement. (2) Performance must have been in a government healthcare setting, a civilian healthcare setting or in a university research setting. (3) Performance must have included three of the nine services in following categories: (a) Research Project Facilitator service, (b) Research Medical Laboratory Technologist service, (c) Research Assistant service, (d) Research Director Assistant service, (e) Research Laboratory Assistant service, (f) Research Biostatistician service, (g) Animal Surgical Research Technician service, (h) Protocol Administrative Technician service, or (i) Clinical Research Coordinator service.

d. Not Relevant: Not relevant performance is all performance that fails to meet one of the three relevancy categories above.

(5) Quality of Performance: Performance efforts that qualify as recent and meet one of the three relevancy criteria (very relevant, relevant, or somewhat relevant) will then be evaluated for quality of performance. Each evaluated effort will receive one of the following performance ratings:

Based on the evaluation of individual performance efforts, the Government will then develop one of the following Performance Confidence Assessments for each offeror whose past performance is evaluated.

The following relationship between quality of performance ratings and performance confidence assessment will apply:

Exceptional: Substantial Confidence

Very Good: Substantial Confidence

Satisfactory: Satisfactory Confidence

Neutral: Unknown Confidence

Marginal: Limited Confidence

Unsatisfactory: No Confidence

D. The Government reserves the right to down grade the performance confidence assessment of any offeror based on lack of relevant performance information. Offeror’s may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their offer (for example, the relevance of past performance information) or respond to adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond. Adverse past performance is defined as past or present performance effort that is rated less than satisfactory overall or any unfavorable comments received from sources without a formal rating system.

E. The Government intends to award without discussions. However, the government reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest. If award is to be made without discussions, the following process will be followed for each award to be made. The government will award each contract one contract at a time.

(1) The Government will first evaluate the past performance for the reasonably priced technically acceptable offer with the lowest evaluated price. If the reasonably priced technically acceptable offer with the lowest evaluated price has an overall “Substantial Confidence” performance rating, that offer represents the best value for the Government and the evaluation process stops at this point. Contingent upon a determination of contractor responsibility for that offeror, award will be made to that offeror without consideration or evaluation of the past performance of any other offeror.

(2) If the reasonably priced technically acceptable offeror with the lowest evaluated price does not have overall “Substantial Confidence” performance rating, the past performance evaluation process will continue (in order by evaluated price) until a reasonably priced technically acceptable offeror is found with an overall “Substantial Confidence” performance rating or until the past performance of all reasonably priced technically acceptable offers are evaluated. At this point the Government will conduct an integrated best value assessment of all reasonably priced technically acceptable offers whose past performance was evaluated. In either event, the Government will award to the responsible, reasonably priced, technically acceptable offeror whose proposal offers the best value to the Government.

(3) After the first contract is awarded to the contractor who represents the Best Value, the government will proceed to award the second and third contracts, if appropriate, one contract at a time. The process in paragraph (1) and if necessary, paragraph (2) will be repeated with each of the contract awards.

F. If the Government decides to conduct discussions, the government will first establish the competitive range. Prior to establishing the competitive range, the government will evaluate all offers against all factors in the solicitation. The government will then establish the competitive range consisting of the most highly rated offerors based on evaluation of all offers against all factors. The Government reserves the right to further limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals. Written notice of exclusion from the competitive range will be provided to unsuccessful offerors. After conclusion of discussions and receipt of final proposal revisions, the Government will make the Best Value award decision among those remaining in the competitive range as follows for each award to be made. The Government will award each contract one contract at a time.

(1) If the reasonably priced technically acceptable offer remaining in the competitive range with the lowest evaluated price has an overall “Substantial Confidence” performance rating, that offer represents the best value for the Government. Contingent upon a determination of contractor responsibility for that offeror, award will be made to that offeror, the first contract, without further consideration of any other offeror.

(2) If the reasonably priced technically acceptable offeror remaining in the competitive range with the lowest evaluated price does not have a Substantial Confidence performance confidence assessment rating, the next lowest reasonably priced, technically acceptable, offeror will be considered, and the process will continue (in order by evaluated price until the Government reaches a reasonably priced offer with a Substantial Confidence performance confidence assessment rating or until all reasonably priced offers remaining in the competitive range are considered, whichever occurs first. The government will then make an integrated assessment best value award decision among those who were considered. Contingent upon a determination of contractor responsibility, the government will then award to that offeror, the first contract, whose proposal represents the best value.

(3) After the first contract is awarded to the contractor who represents the Best Value, the government will proceed to award the second and third contracts, if appropriate, one contract at a time. The process in paragraph (1) and if necessary, paragraph (2) will be repeated with each of the contract awards.

G. Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the government to exercise the option(s).

H. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award
