L.3 ON/OFF RAMP PROVISION:

(a) This provision prescribes the process by which the Government will ensure an adequate number of contractors are available at all times to achieve effective competition on all task orders. The Government intends to maintain a pool of up to eight (8) small business contractors with proven track records for competing and delivering quality construction projects.

(b) Contract holders are expected, in good faith, to participate in the task order competitions, and if successful, to deliver quality projects on time and on cost, to include management and supervision of subcontractors. If for any reason, a contractor cannot participate in a competition, the contractor shall provide written notice to the

Government of the reason(s) for non-participation prior to proposal due date. Before the exercise of any option period(s), the Government will evaluate all contractors’ participation rates, reason(s) for non-participation, and performance evaluations for task orders completed or in effect. A Contractor rated as Satisfactory* will be renewed for the next option year. Failure to participate in good faith and/or an overall annual performance assessment rating of Marginal** or Unsatisfactory*** may result in the contractor being off-ramped from the multiple award program. An off-ramp decision results in contract expiration on the anniversary date of the basic contract and no remaining option period(s) being exercised.

(c) In the event contractor(s) are off-ramped within 30 months of initial contract award, the Government will reserve the right to on-ramp contractor(s) to maintain a pool of up to 8 small business contractors. On-ramp contractors will be selected based on initial evaluation results from the basic multiple award solicitation in order of ranking. Selected on-ramp contractors will be subject to a performance validation review. Contractor(s) must be active in SAM and otherwise in compliance with the original multiple award solicitation. If found in compliance, on-ramp contractors may be offered a bi-lateral IDIQ contract with original guaranteed minimum and allowed to compete on future task order projects.

(d) The Government will not use on-ramp procedures beyond the 30 month mark from initial awards. The original performance period for contract holders is 1 base year plus 4 option years; no contract will extend beyond this limitation regardless of when a basic contract is awarded.

* Satisfactory: To receive a Satisfactory (S) rating, 50% or more of awarded task orders were rated “Met Standard”

(MS), no more than 50% of awarded task orders were rated “Met Standard with Comment” (MSC); and no awarded task orders were rated “Did Not Meet Standard” (DNM).

**Marginal: A Marginal (M) rating will be given if more than 50% of the awarded task orders were rated “Met

Standard with Comment” (MSC) OR One (1) or more task orders were ranked “Did Not Meet Standards” (DNM).

The Contracting Officer shall make a determination regarding the continuance of any Contractor receiving a

Marginal (M) rating. The Contractor may provide written documentation that identifies extenuating circumstances or a performance improvement plan for consideration by the Contracting Officer.

*** Unsatisfactory: A Contractor receiving an Unsatisfactory (U) rating may not be renewed for the next option year. The Contracting Officer shall make a determination regarding the continuance of any Contractor receiving an

UNSATISFACTORY (U) rating. The Contractor may not provide written documentation that identifies extenuating circumstances or a performance improvement plan for consideration by the Contracting Officer. An Unsatisfactory

(U) rating will be given if one of the following conditions are met:

i. Overall Task Order Deficiencies

1. Two or more overall task order ratings of “DID NOT MEET STANDARDS” in the first ten task orders during an ordering period

2. Three or more overall task order ratings of “DID NOT MEET STANDARDS” in the first twenty task orders during an ordering period

3. Four or more overall task order ratings of “DID NOT MEET STANDARDS” in more than twenty task

ii. Aggregate Level Recurring Deficiencies In The Same Task

1. Three or more criteria task order ratings of “DID NOT MEET STANDARDS” in the first ten task orders on the same criteria during an ordering period

2. Four or more criteria task order ratings of “DID NOT MEET STANDARDS” in the first twenty task orders on the same criteria during an ordering period

3. Five or more criteria task order ratings of “DID NOT MEET STANDARDS” in more than twenty task
