REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION STATEMENT OF WORK

GENERAL: The United States Geological Survey (USGS) National Wildlife Health Center (NWHC) located at 6006 Schroeder Road Madison, WI 53711 has a requirement to replace an AHU-2 air handler fan system with a FS-5 air handler fan system.

BACKGROUND: The NWHC was established in 1975 to serve the nation and its natural resources by providing sound science and technical support regarding wildlife disease, and to disseminate information to promote science-based decisions affecting wildlife and ecosystem health.

GS1305 Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (JUL 2010)

(a) FAR 42.1502 directs all Federal agencies to collect past performance information on contracts. The Department of the Interior (DOI) has implemented the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to comply with this regulation. One or more past performance evaluations will be conducted in order to record your contract performance as required by FAR 42.15.

(b) The past performance evaluation process is a totally paperless process using CPARS. CPARS is a web-based system that allows for electronic processing of the performance evaluation report. Once the report is processed, it is available in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) for Government use in evaluating past performance as part of a source selection action.

(c) We request that you furnish the Contracting Officer with the name, position title, phone number, and email address for each person designated to have access to your firm's past performance evaluation(s) for the contract no later than 30 days after award. Each person granted access will have the ability to provide comments in the Contractor portion of the report and state whether or not the Contractor agrees with the evaluation, before returning the report to the Assessing Official. The report information must be protected as source selection sensitive information not releasable to the public.

(d) When your Contractor Representative(s) (Past Performance Points of Contact) are registered in CPARS, they will receive an automatically-generated email with detailed login instructions. Further details, systems requirements, and training information for CPARS is available at http://www.cpars.csd.disa.mil/. The CPARS User Manual, registration for On Line Training for Contractor Representatives, and a practice application may be found at this site.

(e) Within 60 days after the end of a performance period, the Contracting Officer will complete an interim or final past performance evaluation, and the report will be accessible at http://www.cpars.csd.disa.mil/.

Contractor Representatives may then provide comments in response to the evaluation, or return the evaluation without comment. Comments are limited to the space provided in Block 22. Your comments should focus on objective facts in the Assessing Official's narrative and should provide your views on the causes and ramifications of the assessed performance. In addition to the ratings and supporting narratives, blocks 1 - 17 should be reviewed for accuracy, as these include key fields that will be used by the Government to identify your firm in future source selection actions. If you elect not to provide comments, please acknowledge receipt of the evaluation by indicating "No comment" in Block 22, and then signing and dating Block 23 of the form. Without a statement in Block 22, you will be unable to sign and submit the evaluation back to the Government. If you do not sign and submit the CPAR within 30 days, it will automatically be returned to the Government and will be annotated: "The report was delivered/received by the contractor on (date). The contractor neither signed nor offered comment in response to this assessment." Your response is due within 30 calendar days after receipt of the CPAR.

(f) The following guidelines apply concerning your use of the past performance evaluation:

(1) Protect the evaluation as "source selection information." After review, transmit the evaluation by completing and submitting the form through CPARS. If for some reason you are unable to view and/or submit the form through CPARS, contact the Contracting Officer for instructions.

(2) Strictly control access to the evaluation within your organization. Ensure the evaluation is never released to persons or entities outside of your control.

(3) Prohibit the use of or reference to evaluation data for advertising, promotional material, preaward surveys, responsibility determinations, production readiness reviews, or other similar purposes.

(g) If you wish to discuss a past performance evaluation, you should request a meeting in writing to the Contracting Officer no later than seven days following your receipt of the evaluation. The meeting will be held in person or via telephone or other means during your 30-day review period.

(h) A copy of the completed past performance evaluation will be available in CPARS for your viewing and for Government use supporting source selection actions after it has been finalized.

(End of Clause)

The Contractor's representative shall exercise overall management responsibility for the contract effort, receive technical direction, and handle problems arising under the contract, such as dismissals, disciplinary matters, etc. The Contractor's representative is further responsible for coordinating matters of mutual concern with the Government representatives. In the event questions of responsibility arise, they shall be resolved by the contracting officer or his authorized representative.

(b) The Contractor's representative may not be diverted to other projects for 14 consecutive days or more without giving prior written notification to the contracting officer or his representative. Such notification shall include a justification for the diversion, together with information on the proposed substitute in sufficient detail to permit analysis of any potential negative effects on contract performance. No substitution shall be made without the written consent of the contracting officer; provided, however, that the contracting officer may grant such consent retroactively. Any such substitution of a permanent nature will be made a part of this contract through the issuance of a modification.

(c) When the Contractor's Representative is temporarily unavailable to manage the contract effort for a period longer than 72 hours, including absences due to vacation or illness, the Contractor will provide to the COR a written designation of an alternate representative, itemizing any limitations in the alternate's authority. The procedures of paragraph (b) above do not apply to such temporary designations unless they are expected to exceed the time period indicated in that paragraph.

(End of clause)

GS1339 Notice of Installation of Equipment. (JUL 2001)

The Contractor will cooperate with any ensuing Government accident investigation.

GS1350 Supervision of Contractor’s Employees. (APR 2006)

(a) Personnel assigned to render services under this contract shall at all times be employees of the Contractor (or a subcontractor) and under the direction and control of the Contractor.
