B.2. CONTRACTOR STAFFING DECLARATION

Figure B-1, contractor staffing declaration, must be completed by the contractor and submitted to the Contracting Officer (CO) 21 calendar days prior to the contract start date. This form must also be submitted to the CO when any modifications to the contract by GSA results in changes in staffing. A blank Figure B-2 is included as part of the solicitation.

B.3. WAGE ADJUSTMENTS

Wage adjustments will be considered at the beginning of each renewal option period, if exercised, in accordance with FAR 52.222-43 Fair Labor Standards Act and Service Contract Act – Price Adjustment (Multi-year and Option Year).

Figure B-2, SCA DOL/CBA Combination Wage Adjustment Spreadsheet, is a sample worksheet to illustrate how wage adjustments will be calculated as a result of changes in wages that result from Department of Labor Wage Determinations or Collective Bargaining Agreements. A blank Figure B-2 is included as part of the solicitation.

This is a living document and may receive minor revisions. No revision will change the method of determining the allowable wage adjustment. The latest version will be used for each wage adjustment through the life of the contract.

B.4. ADDITION/REMOVAL OF BUILDINGS

GSA may add or remove buildings from this contract at any time. For a building to be added to the contract, GSA will provide the building information to the Contractor and request a price proposal from the Contractor for the requested services in line with the current pricing. At this time, there is no anticipation to add or delete any additional facilities to this contract. However, if there are any facilities added, they will not exceed 25% of the total contract dollar value, including options.

B.5. ADDITION/REDUCTION OF STAFFING

Requests for adjustment in staffing will be considered annually at option time. Staffing levels proposed and accepted at the time of award shall not be reduced through the life of the contract unless there is a contract modification. At the end of each contract year, and at the request of the contractor, GSA will consider a request from the contractor for a reduction in staffing, and will be based on contractor performance.

B.6 PRODUCTIVITY RATE

[13]

Due to severe budget cuts GSA is requiring a change in solicitation requirements. The average productivity rate for the current contract is 4,200 square feet per hour. Due to new technology (materials, supplies, and equipment) it is expected that the resulting labor efficiency should result in a minimum productivity rate of 5,600 square feet per hour. Based on this change and the reduced scope (highlighted in yellow or lined out) we expect contract pricing to decrease by 20%.

[14]
