Smoking in Air Force Facilities

Contractors are advised that the Wing Commander has placed restrictions on the smoking of tobacco products in Air Force facilities. AFI 40-102, Tobacco Use in the Air Force outlines the procedures used by the commander to control smoking in our facilities. Contractor employees and visitors are subject to the same restrictions as government personnel. Smoking is permitted only in designated smoking areas.

10 Year Felony Ban

Contractors are advised that the Wing Commander has established a policy denying all individuals convicted of a felony within the last 10 years from accessing Little Rock Air Force Base.

Availability of Utilities Services

Notwithstanding the provisions of contract clause FAR 52.236-14, Availability and Use of Utility Services, all reasonable required amounts of water, gas, electricity, etc., essential to contract performance shall be made available, at no cost to the contractor, from existing systems, outlets, and supplies. All temporary connections, outlets, and distribution lines as may be required will be installed by the contractor at the contractor’s own expense.

Pre-performance Conference

Offerors/bidders are hereby advised that if they are awarded a contract as a result of this solicitation, they may be required to appear at the 19th Contracting Squadron, 642 Thomas Ave, Little Rock AFB, AR 72099-4971 to attend a pre-performance conference prior to commencement of any work on the military installation.

Utilities Conservation

The contractor will be required to participate in government energy conservation programs. For the purpose of this contract, the government at no cost will furnish utilities such as water, electricity, etc., to the contractor. Long distance and Defense Switched Network (DSN) telephone services will not be provided.

PAYMENTS FOR MATERIALS

(a) The payment clause in construction contracts requires the Contracting Officer to make a case-by-case review of a contractor's need for progress payments for materials. Payment for materials will normally not be authorized. If they are authorized, they must be in accordance with paragraphs (b) and (c) below.

(b) It is not the policy of the Air Force to authorize payment for materials except when material represents a large, high cost, single line item(s) versus large quantities of small dollar materials. Examples of low dollar value materials are lumber, paint, miscellaneous electrical or plumbing supplies, etc. To illustrate, the Air Force may authorize a large transformer valued at $20,000 for payment, but will not authorize $17,000 worth of miscellaneous electrical components.

(c) Payment for materials will be limited to major high cost items only. Work and materials must be stored on site and as such, become the property of the Government, but the contractor is responsible for all materials delivered and work performed until completion and acceptance of the entire construction work. Responsibility of safeguarding material until final inspection and acceptance rests with the contractor. Payment for materials in advance of installation must be made on a separate line item on the AF Form 3064, Contract Progress Schedule.
