SUMMARY OF CHANGES

Contract Clauses

Miscellaneous text in this section has been modified to:

Price Adjustments

1. Price adjustments to account for fluctuations in Steel prices will be according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) PPI Commodity data for Metals and metal products Steel Mill Products (Series ID WPU1017).

If this index is discontinued the Index for Iron and Steel (WPU101) shall be used instead.

2. The base line will be established by:

a. The most current BLS PPI data obtained at the time of proposal submission

b. The quote from PEMB manufacturer and/or a steel price quote to construct a canopy showing the current cost of steel (Provided by the Contractor at time of proposal submission IAW the Addendum to FAR 52.212-1 B (iii).

3. The starting point for the initial adjustment (if any) will be the most current observation listed on the Bureau of Labor Statistics website as identified in paragraph 1, on the date of task order award. The Contractor will then follow the procedures as outlined in FAR 52.216-4 and DFARS 252.216-7000 as applicable.

4. The issuance of a Task Order would be the trigger for a possible request for price adjustment. Price adjustments will only be made when an order is placed and not more often than quarterly.

5. Once the unit price subject to the price adjustment has been established, it will remain fixed through the life of the contract and shall not be modified except in the event of significant changes in the scope of the contract or another adjustment under the applicable EPA clauses. Pricing actions pursuant to the Changes clause or other provisions of the contract will be priced as though there were no provisions for economic price adjustment.

However, subsequent modifications may include a change to the delivery schedule or significantly change the amount of, or mix of, labor or material for the contract.

EPA clauses do not apply to labor. Adjustments for labor will be handled IAW FAR 52.222-43 on the anniversary date of the Contract.

52.216-4 ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT-LABOR AND MATERIAL (JAN 2017)

(a) The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer if, at any time during contract performance, the rate of pay for labor (including fringe benefits) or the unit prices for material shown in the Schedule either increase or decrease. The Contractor shall furnish this notice within 60 days after the increase or decrease, or within any additional period that the Contracting Officer may approve in writing, but not later than the date of final payment under this contract. The notice shall include the Contractor's proposal for an adjustment in the contract unit prices to be negotiated under paragraph (b) of this clause, and shall include, in the form required by the Contracting Officer, supporting data explaining the cause, effective date, and amount of the increase or decrease and the amount of the Contractor's adjustment proposal.

(b) Promptly after the Contracting Officer receives the notice and data under paragraph (a) of this clause, the Contracting Officer and the Contractor shall negotiate a price adjustment in the contract unit prices and its effective date. However, the Contracting Officer may postpone the negotiations until an accumulation of increases and decreases in the labor rates (including fringe benefits) and unit prices of material shown in the Schedule results in an adjustment allowable under paragraph (c)(3) of this clause. The Contracting Officer shall modify this contract (1)to include the price adjustment and its effective date and (2)to revise the labor rates (including fringe benefits) or unit prices of material as shown in the Schedule to reflect the increases or decreases resulting from the adjustment. The Contractor shall continue performance pending agreement on, or determination of, any adjustment and its effective date.

(c) Any price adjustment under this clause is subject to the following limitations:

FA480921R00090004

(1) Any adjustment shall be limited to the effect on unit prices of the increases or decreases in the rates of pay for labor (including fringe benefits) or unit prices for material shown in the Schedule. There shall be no adjustment for-

(i) Supplies or services for which the production cost is not affected by such changes;

(ii) Changes in rates or unit prices other than those shown in the Schedule; or

(iii) Changes in the quantities of labor or material used from those shown in the Schedule for each item.

(2) No upward adjustment shall apply to supplies or services that are required to be delivered or performed before the effective date of the adjustment, unless the Contractor's failure to deliver or perform according to the delivery schedule results from causes beyond the Contractor's control and without its fault or negligence, within the meaning of the Default clause.

(3) There shall be no adjustment for any change in rates of pay for labor (including fringe benefits) or unit prices for material which would not result in a net change of at least 3 percent of the then-current total contract price.

This limitation shall not apply, however, if, after final delivery of all line items, either party requests an adjustment under paragraph (b) of this clause.

(4) The aggregate of the increases in any contract unit price made under this clause shall not exceed 20 percent of the original unit price. There is no percentage limitation on the amount of decreases that may be made under this clause.

(d) The Contracting Officer may examine the Contractor's books, records, and other supporting data relevant to the cost of labor (including fringe benefits) and material during all reasonable times until the end of 3 years after the date of final payment under this contract or the time periods specified in subpart 4.7 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), whichever is earlier.

(End of clause)

(2) Glossary

(3) Summary Page

(4) Past Performance Information (PPI) - 5-page limit

(5) Organization Structure Change History

(6) Subcontractor Letters of Consent

(7) Client Authorization Letters

(ii) Summary Page. Many companies have acquired, been acquired by, otherwise merged with other companies, and/or reorganized their divisions, business groups, subsidiary companies, etc. In many cases, these changes have taken place during the time of performance of relevant present or past contracts. As a result, it is sometimes difficult to determine what past performance is relevant to this acquisition. To facilitate this relevancy determination, include in this proposal volume a "roadmap" describing all such changes in the organization of the offering company. As part of this explanation, show how these changes impact the relevance of any efforts identified for the past performance evaluation. Since the Government intends to consider past and present performance information provided by other sources as well, the "roadmap" should be applicable to contracts the Government receives information on from other sources.

If applicable, describe the role of the Offeror and each subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner for whom the Offeror is required to provide Past Performance Information Sheets in accordance with paragraph e below.

(iii) Quality and Satisfaction Rating of Contracts completed in the past five years. Provide any information currently available (letters, metrics, customer surveys, independent surveys, etc.) that demonstrates customer satisfaction with overall job performance and/or quality of completed and/or ongoing contracts. In addition, explain corrective actions taken in the past, if any, for substandard performance and any current performance problems, such as cost overruns, extended performance periods, numerous warranty calls, etc.

(iv) Past Performance Information (PPI). Utilizing the PPI Sheet (Attachment 6), submit information on no more than five (5) recent and relevant contracts the offeror considers most relevant in demonstrating the ability to perform the proposed effort. Two (2) of the past performance references may be for a subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement (i.e., 25% or more of the work). "Recent" is defined as ongoing contracts or those completed within five (5) years of the date of issuance of the solicitation. The Past Performance Information sheets for each contract is limited to five (5) pages.

C. FACTOR 2 - PAST PERFORMANCE FACTOR

The Government will evaluate recent and relevant performance information on technically acceptable offerors based on the references provided by the offeror and any data independently obtained by the Government. The past performance evaluation will stop once a substantial confidence assessment has been reached.

The past performance evaluation will take into account past performance information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel, or subcontractors that are proposed to perform major or critical aspects of the requirement (i.e., 25% or more of the work) when such information is relevant to this acquisition.

(i) Recent past performance information includes contracts performed and/or being performed for any customer within the last five (5) years with at least 6 months of performance from the issuance date of the solicitation.

(ii) Relevant contract performance effort involved similar scope, magnitude of effort, and complexities to that required by this solicitation. The Government will assess relevancy for each contract and assign a rating as described in Table 2 below.

Table 2. Past Performance Relevancy Ratings

Rating Rating Definition Very Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this Solicitation requires. To qualify, the past/present effort must:

Involve demolition and installation of steel aircraft canopies/shelters/sunshades, include painting traffic patterns.

Number of canopies installed in excess of 50 Include schedule and time management for phased contract performance.

At least 90% of the performance must have been on a military airfield.

Performance must be done as the prime contractor, or, if a member of a joint venture, the Offeror must have contributed at least 50% of the effort.

Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved a similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this Solicitation requires. To qualify, the performance may fail to meet all of the requirements for "Very Relevant" but meets all of the following:

Involve installation of steel aircraft canopies/shelters/sunshades Number of canopies installed in excess of 20 Include schedule and time management for contract performance (not phased) At least 60% of the performance must have been on an airfield Performance must be done as the prime contractor, or, if a member of a joint venture, the Offeror must have contributed at least 50% of the effort.

Somewhat Relevant Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this Solicitation requires. To qualify, the performance fails to meet all of the requirements for "Very Relevant" or "Relevant" performance but meets all of the following:

Involve installation of steel aircraft canopies/ shelters/sunshades Number of canopies installed five or more Include schedule and time management for contract performance (not phased) At least 30% of the performance must have been done on a military installation and fastened to concrete surface (not necessarily on the airfield) Performance must be done as the prime contractor, or, if a member of a joint venture, the Offeror must have contributed at least 50% of the effort.

Not Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude and of effort and complexities this Solicitation requires. To qualify, all performance fails to meet one of the three relevancy ratings: "Very Relevant", "Relevant" or "Somewhat Relevant".

(v) Specific Content: Offerors may include a discussion of efforts accomplished by the Offeror to resolve problems encountered on prior contracts as well as past efforts to identify and manage program risk.

Merely having problems does not automatically equate to a Limited or No Confidence rating, since the problems encountered may have been on a more complex program or an Offeror may have subsequently demonstrated the ability to overcome the problems. The Offeror is required to clearly demonstrate management actions employed in overcoming problems and the effects of those actions, in terms of improvements achieved or problems rectified. This could result in a rating of Substantial or Satisfactory Confidence.

(vi) If a teaming arrangement is contemplated, provide complete information as to the arrangement, including any relevant and recent past performance information on previous teaming arrangements with same partner. If this is a first time joint effort, each party to the arrangement must provide a list of past contracts of relevance.

a. Subcontractor Consent: Past performance information pertaining to a subcontractor cannot be disclosed to the prime offeror without the subcontractor's consent. Provide with the proposal a letter from each subcontractor that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement, consenting to the release of its past performance information to the prime contractor. If the subcontractor does not consent, include a statement to that effect.

(6) Contract Award: The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be in the Government's best interest.

(7) Discrepancies: If an offeror believes these instructions contain errors, omissions or are unsound, the offeror shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer in writing with supporting rationale as well as remedies the offeror is asking the Contracting Officer to consider as related to the omission or error.
