A1 Description of Services. The Contractor (Ktr) shall provide all personnel, supervision, equipment, tools, materials, supplies, test equipment, and other items and services necessary to accomplish Supply, Vehicle Operations and Maintenance, Traffic Management, Transient Aircraft Maintenance, Real Property Maintenance, Fuels Management, and Airfield Management at Dobbins Air Reserve Base (ARB), GA as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS), except as specified in Section A-2, Government-Furnished Property and Services. All services, labor, supplies, materials, and parts are included in the Firm Fixed Price unless otherwise specified in the contract. All days are in calendar days unless otherwise specified.

A1.1. Inherently Governmental Activity. Specific categories of PWS tasks, processes, and responsibilities, have been identified and partially restricted to performance by government employees. In general the Ktr is prohibited from committing or obligating the government and may not establish policy. Only government employees may perform and provide services or activities as related to the public interest that require either exercise of discretion in applying government authority or the making of value judgment in making decisions for the government. More specifically, government employees are responsible for performing overall functional management, administrative and managerial oversight for all PWS areas. While the Ktr shall provide supervision of Ktr employees, PWS performance and results; participate in specific activities; prepare reports and analyses; provide input, technical advice, education and training; and work with government representatives in all the functional areas listed above, it is only the totality of the tasks that are Ktr limited. Ktr performance and responsibilities must cease short of any point that could be reasonably construed as: Management oversight of the PWS functions; committing or obligating the government; validating results, and approval or direction of government activities.

A1.2 Compliance with Domestic Violence Amendment (hereinafter, “Lautenberg Amendment”) to the Gun Control Act of 1968 (18 U.S.C. 922). The Lautenberg Amendment prohibits an individual who has a misdemeanor conviction for a crime of domestic violence from shipping, transporting, possessing or receiving firearms or ammunition, and prohibits sales or any other transfers of firearms and ammunition to such individuals, as described further in 18 U.S.C. 922. DoD policy extends this prohibition to individuals who have felony convictions for crimes of domestic violence.

The Ktr shall not permit individuals who have a misdemeanor or felony conviction for a crime of domestic violence to perform any work under the instant contract which would require them to perform activities in contravention of 18 U.S.C. 922 or DoD policy (e.g., which would permit or require such individuals to ship, transport, possess, or receive firearms or ammunition in the course of performing their duties under the contract).

Upon becoming aware that an employee has a conviction for a felony or misdemeanor crime of domestic violence (hereinafter “qualifying conviction”), or upon having reasonable cause to believe that an employee has a qualifying conviction, the Ktr shall immediately deny such employee access to firearms and ammunition in the course of the employee’s performance of duties under the contract. The Ktr shall also immediately retrieve any Government-owned or Government-controlled firearms or ammunition in the employee’s possession and return same to the Government. The Ktr shall immediately contact the local Contracting Officer (CO) for further guidance as to required actions. If any Ktr employee is prohibited pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 922 or DoD policy from performing the duties of his or her position, the Ktr is responsible for substituting an acceptable employee in the vacated position. The Government also reserves the right to disallow a Ktr employee from performing his or her Ktr-assigned duties if the Government becomes aware of information from any source that any Ktr employee is prohibited from performing his or her duties due to the prohibitions of 18 U.S.C. 922 or DoD policy. In such a case, the Ktr and CO shall meet to determine an acceptable course of action, to include the substitution of an acceptable employee as appropriate. The Ktr is solely responsible for any delays, contract performance disruption or increased costs attributable to the substitutions required by this provision.

The Ktr shall require any employee proposed by the Ktr to be placed in and perform the duties of any covered position to certify in writing that he/she does not have a qualifying conviction, prior to that Ktr employee assuming the duties of the Covered Positions as defined in Technical Exhibit A-TE-5. Re-certification shall be accomplished by employees occupying covered positions annually or whenever events change the accuracy of a previous certification. These certifications shall be maintained by the Ktr for review by the Government upon request.

A2 Personnel. This PWS sets forth minimum qualifications for certain positions. The contractor shall employ only personnel who meet or exceed any such minimum qualifications. The resume and any additional documentation (certifications, diplomas, etc) for the person proposed to fill the contract manager, functional area manager and all other positions requiring minimum qualifications shall be provided in accordance with A-TE-3, A01. Documentation shall also be provided during contract performance when changes are made in the personnel occupying these positions.

The Ktr’s employees shall not pose an actual or potential threat or risk to the security or mission of the AFRC or its supported activities, or the health and safety of the AFRC workforce. The government has an inherent right under law, practice, and regulation to restrict and control access to its facilities, including those that are the subject of this PWS. The government’s exercise of its right to grant and revoke access to particular individuals to its facilities shall not constitute a breach or change to this PWS, regardless of whether said individuals are employed by the Ktr.
