B.1 BACKGROUND

B.1.1. The Fine Arts Program provides national leadership and expertise in fine art care and policy for GSA’s Fine Arts Collection.

B.1.2. The Federal Managers Financial Integrity Act of 1982 (31 U.S.C. §3512), as implemented by OMB Circ.

If a task order is silent on a term or condition, the terms and conditions of the basic contract prevail.

B.2.5 Each task order will have its own price and performance period which may extend past the expiration date of the current basic contract effective period; however, a completion date must be established at the original execution of each task order.

B.2.6 Outstanding task orders shall be fully performed at the rates/pricing in effect as of the date the task order was awarded, unless lower rates are negotiated. Modifications to the task orders are controlled by the Changes Clause as to work requirements and equitable pricing adjustments.

B.2.7 After the base contract or option period expires, the amount of work included in any outstanding task order shall not be modified to enlarge its scope, unless such modification is necessary to accomplish the tasks under the order.

B.3. FIXED PRICES

Offerors are required to submit a separate Price Schedule for the Initial one-year contract period and each optional one-year contract period. All salary rates shall be fixed for the duration of the applicable one-year term.

B.3.2. Materials and Supplies: The contractors are expected to have standard equipment, materials and supplies necessary to perform work at their disposal.

Transportation: All transport services used in conjunction with contract are to be done with bonded and insured carriers, whose services include transporting of artifacts, valuable items, or other items deemed as treasures under current security standards.

Method as well as carrier must be acceptable to the Government. Proposals should include a description of the art transport services to be used.

B.3.4. Travel Costs: A fixed price for the cost of travel by contractor personnel will be negotiated on a task order basis pursuant to FAR Part 31.205-46 and Federal Travel Regulations in effect at time of travel.

B.4. GUARANTEED MINIMUM

B.4.1. The minimum dollar amount of work the Government guarantees to the Contractor under this contract is $2,500.00 for the base year. – (Note: The guaranteed minimum order amount applies to the base year only.

B.5. MAXIMUM QUANTITIES

B.5.1. The maximum ordering limitation for the Fine Arts IDIQ contract is $75,000.00 for the base per year and each one-year option period, with the total contract amount over five years not to exceed $375,000.00.

B.6. FIRM FIXED PRICE SCHEDULE - BASE YEAR PERIOD AND FOUR ONE YEAR

OPTION PERIODS

B.6.1. Offerors are required to provide their hourly rate for the professional and technical classification listed in the above proposal offer sheets and multiply the rate times the estimated hours to obtain the extended rate for each classification.
