• DAMAGE TO GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATE PROPERTY. The Contractor shall notify the

Contracting Officer’s Representative immediately of damage to government, private property, and injury to any person resulting from the services being performed.

Damages Caused by the Contractor. The Contractor shall be held accountable and liable to the

Government for any damages to government facilities, fixtures, furnishings, equipment, or grounds caused by the Contractors or their employees

• REPORTING PROCEDURES. As part of the Contractor's Quality Control program a notification in the form of email will be completed and submitted by 2 business days after work is completed. This email will be completed for every pumping operation that summarizes work completed and quantity of gallons pumped and will be submitted to the COR at the project office. This email will be used to verify work completion as required within this contract.

Each actual pumping operation is therefore broken into two categories or appraisal criteria as follows:

• The actual removal of the material from the vault.

• The cleanup of the area around the pumping operation.

6.0 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS SUMMARY.

6.1 To ensure that the Government receives the services for which it contracted, the Government will only pay for services received. The Performance Requirements Summary (PRS) determines if the

Contractor meets the performance standards of the contract, as well as provides guidelines for how and when surveillance will be performed. It ensures timeliness, effectiveness and that the

Contractor is delivering the results specified in the contract. Government contract quality assurance will be performed per the PRS surveillance schedule.

6.2 Performance Requirements Summary Table. These are the criteria against which the performance will be evaluated. Work shall be considered not to have been performed when any one of the following conditions exists in accordance with the Quality Assurance

Surveillance Plan (QASP).

6.3 Surveillance. 100% inspections by the QA team will serve as the surveillance methods. If the

COR discovers deficiencies and/or receives complaints, the COR will alert them to the contractor for correction.

6.4 Quality Control. The Contractor, not the government, is responsible for quality control actions necessary to meet the quality standards set forth by the contract. The contractor shall develop and submit a Quality Control Plan (QCP) for Government approval within ten (10) calendar days after award. Once accepted, the QCP will be incorporated into the QASP. The QASP is not a contractual instrument and may be changed at the COR’s discretion. The contractor shall use the

QASP to guide and document the implementation of the required management and quality control actions to achieve the specified results. The Government reserves the right under the

Contract Terms and Conditions--Commercial Items (FAR 52.212-4) to inspect and test the services called for by the Task Order, to the extent practicable at all times and places during the term of the Task Order. The Government will reject non-conforming services.

6.5 Unacceptable Performance. When performance is determined unacceptable, as defined in the

Performance Requirements Summary, the COR will inform the contractor that performance is unacceptable and provide written documentation by use of the Form DD 2772, Contract

Discrepancy Report. By initialing and dating the form, the contractor is only acknowledging notification of unacceptable performance. Disputes in surveillance should be referred to the

Contracting Officer.

The COR will notify the Contracting Officer of unacceptable performance. If any of the services do not conform to contract requirements, the Government may require the contractor to perform the services again in conformity with contract requirements, at no increase in contract amount. When the defect(s) in services cannot be corrected by re-performance, the Government may:

a. Require the Contractor to take necessary action to ensure future performance conforms to contract requirements.

b. Reduce the contract price to reflect the reduced value of the services performed.

c. If the Contractor fails to promptly re-perform the services, or to take the necessary action to ensure future performance in conformity with contract requirements, the Government may:

i. By contract or otherwise, perform the services and charge to the Contractor any cost incurred by the Government that is directly related to the performance of such service;

ii. Issue Cure Notice;

iii. Terminate the contract for Government convenience; and / or

iv. Terminate the contract for Cause.

6.6 Correction of Non-Performance of Work. Contractor shall employ an adequate quantity of personnel to ensure that any services found to be not in compliance and therefore not acceptable, shall be made acceptable by the performance or re-performance of the work, where such re-performance is possible, during the first business day after non-compliance has been observed by or reported to and verified by the COR.

7.0 GENERAL.

7.1 Security.

a. Access and General Protection/Security Policy and Procedures. All Contractor and all associated sub-contractor employees shall comply with applicable installation, facility, and area commander installation/facility access and local security policies and procedures (to be provided by a Government representative). The Contractor shall also provide all information required for background checks to meet installation/facility access requirements to be accomplished by installation Provost Marshal Office, Director of Emergency Services, or

Security Office. Contractor workforce must comply with all personal identity verification requirements as directed by DoD, HQDA and/or local policy. In addition to the changes otherwise authorized by the changes clause of this contract, should the Force Protection

Condition (FPCON) at any installation or facility change, the Government may require changes in contractor security matters or processes.

b. Pre-screen candidates using E-Verify Program. The Contractor must pre-screen Candidates using the E-verify Program (http://www.uscis.gov/e-verify) website to meet the established employment eligibility requirements. The Contractor must ensure that the Candidate has two valid forms of Government issued identification prior to enrollment to ensure the correct information is entered into the E-verify system. An initial list of verified/eligible Candidates must be provided to the COR no later than three (3) business days after contract award.

7.2 Contract Changes. Changes in scope, time, or deliverables can only be authorized by the

Contracting Officer. The contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer immediately if they have received direction to perform work outside the scope of the contract. Changes in scope will be negotiated and a written modification issued, before proceeding with the work.
