STATEMENT OF WORK

Lawn Service and Other Grounds Keeping Requirements

Location:

WEATHER FORECAST OFFICE (ILX) CENTRAL ILLINOIS

1362 STATE ROUTE 10

LINCOLN, ILLINOIS 62656-5417

Scope:

The contractor shall provide all personnel, tools, equipment, materials and supervision for the duties required to care for all the grounds within the boundaries of this Weather Forecast Office as described in this statement of work (SOW), and in accordance with all federal, state and local laws, regulations, and statutes. Approximate period for this service contract is from the first day of April through the last day of March each year.

Note: (1) The grounds, approximately 3.8 acres, at the National Weather Service office in Lincoln, Illinois includes the lawns and landscaping which will be maintained on a weekly basis;

and (2) the areas that are not “hash marked” on the attached diagram will require intermittent bush-hogging provided by a separate vendor.

Description of Work:

The contractor shall –

Every week:

1. Mowing will begin April 1 and end October 31 based on when the grass begins and ends growing. The contractor will contact the Meteorologist in Charge (MIC), Ryan Knutsvig, or Administrative Support Assistant (ASA), Debbie Johnson who will determine when the season starts and ends for services required.

2. Trimming will occur by means of a string trimmer around buildings, driveways, sidewalks, equipment, and other stationary objects, to include concrete parking barriers, fence stakes, downspouts and poles. Care should be exercised to prevent damage to existing trees, shrubs, bushes, buildings, drainage, vehicles, and other obstructions.

3. Use a broom or blower to remove clippings from the driveways, parking areas and sidewalks by sweeping/blowing clippings away from buildings, trash enclosure, equipment, drainage, flower, shrub, mulch and rock areas, and vehicles.

4. Clippings shall be left on the lawn as long as no readily visible clumps remain on grass surface 24 hours after mowing. Otherwise clippings shall be collected and removed by the contractor from the site using approved methods which follow federal, state and local laws, regulations, and statutes.

5. Mowing will be with a reel/rotary or mulching mower. Mowing height will be no higher than two (2”) inches in accordance with grass type and variety.

6. Mow all grass areas within 10 feet of all roadways, driveways, poles, fences, sidewalks, buildings and stationary equipment. Care should be exercised to prevent

PAGE 10 OF 51 1333MH23QNWWR0012

damage to all trees, shrubs, bushes, buildings, equipment, vehicles, downspouts, and other obstructions.

7. Clean all clippings from sidewalks, curbs, cars, trash enclosures, parking lots and driveways immediately following each mow and trim; keep all clippings away from outdoor building vents and drains.

Additional Requirements:

The contractor shall -

1. Prune and trim all trees and shrubbery in the early spring and fall (when indicated by the NWS MIC or ASA). Shrubs will be pruned to insure proper informal shape, fullness and bloom. Tree pruning is limited to branches below twenty (20) feet in height and the contractor will remove all debris.

2. Fertilize lawn, trees, and shrubs around main building (see attached diagram) north of the prairie grass to the west fence and the east driveway, and treat for weeds, crabgrass and insects in accordance with industry standards. These applications shall be in accordance with all federal, state and local laws, regulations and statutes, and the following schedule, unless otherwise specified by the MIC or ASA as noted:

a. Spring – Pre-emergent, fertilizer and broadleaf weed and crabgrass control (Do NOT use the chemical Round-up).

b. Summer – Insect control (including grubs) application.

c. Fall – Broadleaf weed control and micronutrients.

3. Perform annual spring and fall clean-up of lawn and beds: Clean up, remove and dispose of debris such as leaves, branches, etc., from lawn, mulch and rock bed areas.

4. Maintain weed-free flower and shrubbery beds, mulched and rocked areas (including the Day lily bed). Note: Do NOT spray for weeds or mow in the flower or shrubbery beds, mulched and rocked areas. Prairie grass will be maintained via weed eater.

Note: ** Do Not spray the chemical Round-up at all.

a. Remove weeds and extraneous grasses from the above areas four (4) times per year (mid-April, mid-June, mid-August and mid-October) applying additional weed deterrent as needed.

b. Any chemicals/compounds used on premise are to be filed with the ASA prior to the first service each year.

5. If additional work (not covered in SOW), is requested the contractor shall provide a written estimate prior to any work being performed. No additional work shall be performed without advance approval by the Contracting Officer and a modification to the purchase order.

PAGE 11 OF 51 1333MH23QNWWR0012

Inspections and Acceptance:

The MIC is the designated authority to make a full inspection to ensure the contract is completed per this SOW. The contractor will be notified immediately if any items are sub-standard.

Local Points of Contact:

The points of contact are the MIC and ASA and they can be reached at 217-732-3089.

Terms of the SOW:

1. The Contractor will invoice on a monthly basis, in arrears for services provided.

2. Service will be subject to re-competition and renewal at the beginning of each contract year barring any option year elections by the Government.

3. The Contractor, if remotely located, shall designate a representative local to the contract site, with contact numbers, for the government’s local representative to communicate with about the quality of work, progress, and technical details of the project.

4. The government reserves the right to waive lawn care or request lawn care to ensure the grounds are well-maintained in appearance at all times.

5. The contractor shall ensure that all debris is cleaned up before departing contract site.

6. The contractor is to ensure no hoses or tools are left out, used, or placed in such a way that become a hazard or impede normal access to the buildings, equipment, vehicles, or property.

7. The contractor is responsible for the clean-up and remediation of any chemical/compound spills made by the contractor using methods which follow federal, state and local laws, regulations, and statutes.

***Workers in this classification may be entitled to a higher minimum wage under Executive Order 14026 ($16.20 per hour) or 13658 ($12.15 per hour). Please see the Note at the top of the wage determination for more information. Please also note that the minimum wage requirements of Executive Order 14026 and 13658 are not currently being enforced as to contracts or contract-like instruments entered into with the federal government in connection with seasonal recreational services or seasonal recreational equipment rental for the general public on federal lands.

Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors, applies to all contracts subject to the Service Contract Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year. Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is the victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections

under the EO is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.

ALL OCCUPATIONS LISTED ABOVE RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS:

HEALTH & WELFARE: $4.80 per hour, up to 40 hours per week, or $192.00 per week or $832.00 per month

HEALTH & WELFARE EO 13706: $4.41 per hour, up to 40 hours per week, or $176.40 per week, or $764.40 per month*

*This rate is to be used only when compensating employees for performance on an SCA-covered contract also covered by EO 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors. A contractor may not receive credit toward its SCA obligations for any paid sick leave provided pursuant to EO 13706.

VACATION: 2 weeks paid vacation after 1 year of service with a contractor or successor; 3 weeks after 5 years, 4 weeks after 15 years, and 5 weeks after 20 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 fourteen paid holidays per year: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr's Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving Day, Day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, 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 4.174)

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

1) COMPUTER EMPLOYEES: This wage determination does not apply to any individual employed in a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional capacity, as defined in 29 C.F.R. Part 541. (See 41 C.F.R. 6701(3)). Because most Computer Systems Analysts and Computer Programmers who are paid at least $27.63 per hour (or at least $684 per week if paid on a salary or fee basis) likely qualify as exempt computer professionals under 29 U.S.C. 213(a)(1) and 29 U.S.C. 213(a)(17), this wage determination may not include wage rates for all occupations within those job families. In such instances, a conformance will be necessary if there are nonexempt employees in these job families working on the contract.

Job titles vary widely and change quickly in the computer industry, and are not determinative of whether an employee is an exempt computer professional. To be exempt, computer employees who satisfy the compensation requirements must also have a primary duty that 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).

Any computer employee who meets the applicable compensation requirements and the above duties test qualifies as an exempt computer professional under both section 13(a)(1) and section 13(a)(17) of the Fair Labor Standards Act. (Field Assistance Bulletin No. 2006-3 (Dec. 14, 2006)). Accordingly, this wage determination will not apply to any exempt computer employee regardless of which of these two exemptions is

PAGE 19 OF 51 1333MH23QNWWR0012

utilized.

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 ordnance, explosives, and incendiary materials.

** 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.

PAGE 20 OF 51 1333MH23QNWWR0012

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 (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(i)). Such conforming procedures shall be initiated by the contractor prior to the performance of contract work by such unlisted class(es) of employees (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(ii)). The Wage and Hour Division shall make a final determination of conformed classification, wage rate, and/or fringe benefits which shall be paid to all employees performing in the classification from the first day of work on which contract work is performed by them in the classification. Failure to pay such unlisted employees the compensation agreed upon by the interested parties and/or fully determined by the Wage and Hour Division retroactive to the date such class of employees commenced contract work shall be a violation of the Act and this contract. (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(v)). 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 the 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 U.S.

Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division, for review (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(ii)).

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 Division's decision to the contractor.

6) Each affected employee shall be furnished by the contractor with a written copy of such determination or it shall be posted as a part of the wage determination (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(iii)).

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"" should be used to compare job definitions to ensure 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 (See 29 CFR 4.152(c)(1))."
