CGAP Chapter 3033 Appendix B – Notice for Filing Agency Protests March 2014

APPENDIX B – CHAPTER 3033

NOTICE FOR FILING AGENCY PROTESTS

United States Coast Guard Ombudsman Program

It is the policy of the Coast Guard to issue solicitations and make contract awards in a fair and timely manner. The Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP) was established to investigate agency protest issues and resolve them without expensive and time-consuming litigation. OPAP is an independent reviewing authority that is empowered to grant a prevailing protester essentially the same relief as the General Accounting Office (GAO).

Interested parties are encouraged to seek resolution of their concerns within the Coast Guard as an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) forum, rather than filing a protest with the GAO or some external forum. Interested parties may seek resolution of their concerns informally or opt to file a formal agency protest with the contracting officer or Ombudsman.

Informal forum with the Ombudsman. Interested parties who believe that a Coast Guard procurement is unfair or otherwise defective should first direct their concerns to the cognizant contracting officer. If the contracting officer is unable to satisfy the concerns, the interested party is encouraged to contact the Coast Guard Ombudsman for Agency Protests. Under this informal process, the agency is not required to suspend contract award performance.

Use of an informal forum does not suspend any time requirement for filing a protest with the agency or other forum. In order to ensure a timely response, interested parties should provide the following information to the Ombudsman: solicitation/contract number, contracting office, contracting officer, and solicitation closing date (if applicable).

Formal Agency Protest with the Ombudsman. Prior to submitting a formal agency protest, protesters must first use their best efforts to resolve their concerns with the contracting officer through open and frank discussions. If the protester’s concerns are unresolved, an independent review is available by the Ombudsman. The protester may file a formal agency protest to either the contracting officer or as an alternative to that, the Ombudsman under the OPAP program. Contract award or performance will be suspended during the protest period unless contract award or performance is justified, in writing, for urgent and compelling reasons or is determined in writing to be in the best interest of the Government. The agency’s goal is to resolve protests in less than 35 calendar days from the date of filing. Protests shall include the information set forth at FAR 33.103(d)(2). If the protester fails to submit the required information, resolution of the protest may be delayed or the protest may be dismissed. This will not preclude re-filing of the protest to meet the requirement. To be timely, protests must be filed within the period specified in FAR 33.103(e). Formal protests filed under the OPAP program should be submitted electronically to OPAP@uscg.mil and the Contracting Officer or by hand delivery to the Contracting Officer.

Election of Forum. After an interested party protests a Coast Guard procurement to the Contracting Officer or the Ombudsman, and while the protest is pending, the protestor agrees not to file a protest with the GAO or other external forum. If the protest is filed with an external forum, the agency protest will be dismissed.

The Ombudsman Hotline telephone number is 202.372.3695.

The Contractor shall provide all labor and equipment (other than any listed Government-furnished containers), including containers for collection, transportation, and disposal of refuse as described in the PWS and under the terms and conditions of this contract.

The Contractor will not have access to Government office space, operational areas, equipment, utilities or materials. All contractor-furnished equipment, materials and supplies shall be subject to the inspection and approval of the Contracting Officer’s Representative [COR] prior to and during the life of the contract. Upon completion of the contract, all Contractor-furnished equipment shall be removed from the site prior to approval of the final payment.

Locations that have both solid waste and recycling containers (except for 90/95 gallon Rollaways), the containers will be labeled as “WASTE” or “MIXED RECYCLING” according to their type. Lettering for the containers shall be at least four (4) inches high. The 90/95 gallon Rollaways will be GREY for waste and BLUE OR GREEN for recycling and labeling is not required.

Immediately prior to pick up at each location the Contractor shall inspect each container to ensure that it is not contaminated with recyclables, hazardous material, or other matter outside the scope of that for which it is designated. In the event that a container is found to be contaminated, the Contractor shall not make that particular pick-up and shall notify the COR as to the location and reason for non-pick up prior to departing for disposal.

3.3.1 Collection/Pick-up. The “contents” of the container shall be thoroughly and completely collected.

This includes all garbage, refuse, trash or recycling material inside, resting upon, or in the immediate vicinity of the container, and that which might be spilled by collectors during the pickup process. The container shall be returned to its original position and the lid replaced securely. Containers delivered shall be completely empty. The Government will take a deduction for containers not completely emptied during collection, or containers delivered not completely empty, based on the percentage of the container occupied by material at the time of servicing or delivery, plus an inspection fee.

3.3.2 Collection Stations. Refer to ATTACHMENT 1

Collection stations shall be left in a neat and orderly manner, and the Contractor shall be responsible for immediately cleaning up any spills, debris, etc., which may occur during servicing of any containers.

Collection stations in Family Housing areas are generally in enclosed storage areas.

All doors to container

USCG SECTOR NEW YORK, STATEN ISLAND, NEW YORK Page 23 of 88 storage areas shall be left in the closed position. For all containers the area beneath and within 10 (ten) feet of the container shall be immediately cleaned, upon servicing, by the Contractor of all debris whether spilled by the Contractor or placed there by Government personnel. The Contractor shall not relocate or combine collection stations without prior written approval of the COR.

In order to ensure U.S. Coast Guard Sector New York full compliance with COMDTINST 16477.5 – Coast Guard Qualified Recycling Program, an enhanced recycling program was begun in 2005. Personnel were directed to separate recyclable items and issued recycling office containers for recycling of mixed paper and plastic/metal containers. The expected gains to the Contractor from reimbursement for this material from recyclers are expected to reduce the cost for collection of recycling for this contract. A small number (quantity 1-5) of open containers (size 10, 20 or 30 cubic yards) may be requested for recyclable materials - usually metal - for which the Contractor will not charge the Government since it is expected that costs for these services will be recouped through sale of the materials to a recycler.
