Sub-Section C-2

SUB-SECTION C-2: ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-4 CONTRACT TERMS AND

CONDITIONS —COMMERCIAL ITEMS (Alternate I) (FEB 2012)

01. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

The Contractor shall furnish professional security services, defined in the statement of work and contract exhibits, as Protective Security Officer (PSO) and related services, at federally owned, leased or occupied facilities protected by the Federal Protective Service at various locations primarily located in but not limited to the State of New Jersey (excluding the counties of Union, Essex, Bergen, Hudson, and Pasaic. In furnishing these services, the Contractor shall provide all necessary management, supervision, personnel, materials, supplies and equipment except as otherwise indicated, and shall plan, schedule, coordinate and ensure effective performance of, and conformance to, all aspects of the statement of work contained herein.

02. CONTRACT TYPE

Services shall be furnished via Labor Hour Contract with fixed hourly rates. Resultant task orders under this contract will be Labor Hour type.

03. MAXIMUM QUANTITIES

The contract maximum is the total awarded price, inclusive of all optional ordering periods (to include the 6 month option available under FAR 52.217-8). The contract maximum is considered to be the “ceiling” price.

The Schedule of Supplies/Services and Prices (i.e. the Schedule) sets forth the maximum quantity of hours that the Government may order per each stated ordering period. The maximum quantities set forth in the Schedule are based upon the current, known service requirement with adjustments to provide for maximum ordering flexibility. The current, known service requirements are set forth in the attached Post Coverage Exhibits and are provided for informational purposes only. The Government reserves the right to order up to the maximum quantities set forth in the Schedule regardless of the contents of the Post Coverage Exhibits attached to this contract to address unforeseen requirements such as the addition of new posts/buildings/location and/or expansion of duty hours at existing posts.

Each task order issued under this contract will be issued for the actual known service requirements at that time, will be accompanied by a Post Coverage Exhibit and will set forth a ceiling price in the task order Schedule which will be subject to the labor hour provisions found at FAR 52.212-4 (Alternate 1). Contractors will be paid only for services ordered and performed at the established hourly rates as contained in the task orders. The Government has the unilateral right to add, decrease, cancel, or modify services stated in each task order issued at the established unit prices, as long as the change is within the scope of the contract and the associated task order. The cumulative total of all orders issued under the contract shall not exceed the contract maximum price and/or maximum quantities unless and until the Contracting Officer notifies the contractor in writing that the contract maximum price has been increased and specifies in the notice a revised maximum price that shall constitute the maximum price for performance under this contract.

04. PRICES

A. Department of Labor (DOL) Wage Determination (WD) and/ or Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA)

1. The minimum wage rates and fringe benefits applicable to the contract are outlined in the Department of Labor (DOL) prevailing wage determinations and/or Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) incorporated into the contract.

2. The applicable job classification under a DOL prevailing wage determination is Guard II. In the case of a CBA wage determination, the applicable job classification may be specified under a different title. In either case, the applicable job classification reflects the minimum wage rates and fringe benefits that the Contractor must pay to all employees working under the contract.

3. The attached Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) is herewith incorporated into the contract and only those provisions recognized as allowable wages or fringe benefits under the terms of the Service Contract Acts, as incorporated into the contract under FAR Clause 52.222-43, will be subject to adjustment when applicable. Incorporation of the CBA does not authorize price adjustment of all economic terms established in the CBA and is limited only to allowable wages and fringe benefits under the Service Contract Act.

B. Contingency Pricing

1. Contractors shall not include contingency allowances to cover increased costs for which adjustments are provided under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Clause 52.222-43 – Fair Labor Standards Act and Service Contract Act – Price Adjustments (Multiple Year and Option Contracts)(Sept. 2009).

2. In addition to increases to wages and fringe benefits prescribed by a revised wage determination, including bona fide fringe benefits specifically called out in a collective bargaining agreement, FPS may consider increases to other direct costs brought about by the contractor’s cost of compliance with the terms of a revised wage determination (e.g.

state gross receipts tax). Any price adjustment request associated with such other direct cost(s) must be supported by documentation demonstrating that a contingency covering an increase to the subject cost(s) was not included in the contractor’s price proposal accepted by the Government at time of award.

3. For cost/price factors that are subject to variation, but are not subject to adjustment under the provisions above, contractors may factor in contingency allowances.

Note: Increases to Supervisor wages and benefits are not subject to contract price adjustment in the subsequent ordering periods under FAR 52.222-43(d), unless the Supervisory position is expressly covered under a Collective Bargaining Agreement or DOL Wage Determination. For Supervisory positions that are not subject to contract adjustment under FAR 52.222-43(d), the contractor is permitted to include a reasonable escalation in subsequent option periods based on the labor market in the geographical area that the effort will be performed.

C. Definitions

1. Basic Services – Basic services are the permanent ongoing services specifically included in the task order(s) at time of award or added through modification up to any established maximums identified in the contract. The Government shall order these services using the Basic Services Rates specified in the Schedule of Supplies/Services and Prices.

2. Temporary Additional Services - During the term of the contract, the Government may have requirements for temporary additional services (TAS) beyond the basic services requirements. TAS are the short term, non-recurring needs for service such as an increase in hours to an existing or subsequently added post to include the weekend where a public demonstration is taking place over the weekend, addition of posts to provide for increased security for special events or high profile visitors to the building, extension of existing post hours in a building to cover seasonal fluctuations (such as at an IRS building during tax season), etc. Should a continuing need for additional service arise, a contract modification will be issued by the government to provide for those services as permanent post locations.

Due to the nature of TAS the Contractor may be required to perform these services with little advance notice. If the Government provides the contractor with more than 72 hours notification to perform TAS, the Government shall issue an order using the basic services rates specified in the Schedule of Supplies/Services and Prices. If the Government provides the contractor with less than 72 hours notification to perform TAS, the Government shall issue an order using the TAS rates specified in the Schedule of Supplies/Services and Prices. If the period of performance for the TAS is expected to exceed 72 hours and the Government provides the contractor with less than 72 hours notification to perform these services, the first 72 hours of performance shall be ordered at the TAS rate specified in the Schedule of Supplies/Services and Prices. Any hours performed after the initial 72 hour period shall be ordered at the Basic Services rate specified in the Schedule of Supplies/Services and Prices.

In the event anyone other than the Contracting Office or FPS COTR contacts the Contractor to request TAS under this contract, the Contractor shall not proceed with the request but shall notify the FPS COTR and Contracting Officer immediately. Contractors who perform services without proper authorization from the Contracting Officer or FPS COTR shall not be reimbursed for such services.

3. Emergency Security Services - The Contractor shall furnish fully qualified PSOs, management, supervision, equipment, supplies and any other cost for sustained emergency surge security force services. Deployments may be to large and small-scale events such as natural disasters, civil disturbances, or other unanticipated events on an as-needed basis. The requirements under the “ESS” Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) shall be ordered for anywhere in the geographic area covered under this contract with little, if any, advance notice. The hourly rate for emergency PSO services shall be inclusive of all costs (including, but not limited to, travel costs, per diem, lodging, mileage, and vehicles) directly related to or incidental to providing service at locations the Government will specify when ordered. There will be no “phase-in” period for these requirements. The contractor shall have sufficient, fully qualified staff to meet all requirements ordered under the ESS CLIN at any time. (NOTE: It is possible that the government may order all estimated hours in a single emergency event. The contractor may use reserve forces to fulfill ESS requirements, however, the use of reserve forces to meet ESS requirements will not relieve the contractor of the requirement to maintain a sufficient reserve force to provide all services under the contract to include ongoing Basic Services and TAS requirements.) The requirements ordered under the emergency force service CLIN(s) will be for no more than 120 days of service. Thereafter, provided the Government notifies the Contractor within 30 days before the expiration of the emergency force service task order, any continuing long-term requirements for those same post/locations shall be at the basic hourly rates specified for fixed posts/facilities within the contract.

4. Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) Implementation – The Contractor shall submit a COOP to the Government as a post-award deliverable. The COOP shall identify provisions made for the acquisition of necessary personnel, resources and supplies, if necessary, for continuation of PSO operations in the event of an emergency such as a pandemic (e.g. H1N1 flu virus) until normal operations can be resumed. It is noted that an event requiring implementation of the COOP may result in a reduction in requirements due to partial or full closure of Government facilities and/or realignment of requirements based on the importance of continued operations at certain Government facilities due to the mission of their tenants or security level. Actual hours worked by PSOs standing posts during such an emergency will be invoiced under the Basic Services CLIN. All other direct costs (ODCs) associated with implementation of the COOP, including but not limited to: overtime, travel and per diem, PPE replenishment, changes to IT/communication systems or devices, and training and certification of additional personnel etc. shall be reimbursed under the Optional COOP Implementation CLIN contained in the Schedule of Supplies/Services and Prices. Since COOP implementation costs cannot be pre-determined at this time, the Government has provided estimates and established Not To Exceed Amounts in the Schedule of Supplies/Services and Prices.

Pursuant to the clause entitled, Continuity of Critical Contractor Deliverables [Services] in the Event of an Emergency (October 2009) (tailored), the Government may unilaterally exercise these CLINs in the event of an emergency event. The CLINs will be funded upon exercise and the contractor may invoice for costs associated with COOP Implementation up to the Not-to-Exceed Amount specified in the Schedule of Supplies/Services and Prices. All reimbursable costs/ODCs must be authorized by the Contracting Officer. Written authorization must be gained prior to incurring costs under this CLIN. Contractors shall provide a cost element breakdown and applicable indirect rates with their request. Reimbursable costs/ODCs must be in conformance with the contractor’s approved Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP). Invoices submitted for payment against this CLIN shall be rejected if CO authorization was not previously obtained. The contractor shall invoice 30 days in arrears on a monthly basis during the length of the event.

Other direct costs associated with COOP Implementation shall not exceed the maximum amounts specified in the Schedule of Supply/Services and Prices without authorization from the contracting officer.

05. PACKING AND MARKING

A. Payment of Postage and Fees. All postage and fees related to submitting information, including forms, reports, etc., to the Contracting Officer or the Contracting Officer's Technical Representative shall be paid by the Contractor.

B. Marking. All information submitted to the Contracting Officer or the Contracting Officer's Technical Representative shall clearly indicate the contract and task order number for which the information is being submitted.

06. INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE - CONTRACTOR'S

RESPONSIBILITY

The Contractor shall provide for all day-to-day supervision, inspection and monitoring of all work performed to ensure compliance with the contract requirements. The results of inspections conducted shall be documented in an inspection report for submission to the Government. The Contractor shall follow through to assure that all Government and Contractor identified defects or omissions in the contract requirements are corrected.

07. CONTRACT TRANSITION AND PHASE-IN

Statement of Work, Section 2 includes a general statement that the Government will consider no less than a minimum of 90 days and no more than 180 days maximum for start-up, from contract award to start date. The firm requirement for this particular procurement is a contract transition of 120 Days from contract award to performance start date.

08. DELIVERIES OR PERFORMANCE - TERM OF CONTRACT

The full term of the contract will be up to five (5) years, if all established optional ordering periods are exercised. The start and end dates for the base ordering period and each optional ordering period will be defined within the resultant contract. Applicable periods of performance will be established in resultant task orders. Established optional ordering periods may be exercised in accordance with FAR 52.217-9 “Option to Extend the Term of the Contract”.

09. OPTION TO EXTEND SERVICES BEYOND THE TERM OF THE

CONTRACT

If it is determined by the Government that award of a successor contract cannot be made to start immediately after the end of the last optional ordering period, the Government shall have the unilateral option of extending the services of this contract for an additional six (6) months beyond the last optional ordering period in accordance with FAR 52.217-

8. The price associated with the potential need to exercise the option under FAR 52.217-8 shall be evaluated. Using the Pricing Schedule, the Contractor shall submit unit prices and extended prices (i.e. Unit Price x Estimated Quantity) for the line items entitled, “6 Month Extension Period Pursuant to FAR 52.217-8” under Basic Services, TAS and ESS.

The Government will determine whether the price, inclusive of all options (including the options available under FAR 52.217-8), is fair and reasonable, and whether the price of the base period and all option periods (including the option(s) represented by FAR 52.217-8), in combination with the other evaluation factors specified in the solicitation, represents the best value to the Government.”

10. CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION DATA

10A. SUBMISSION OF INVOICES – Invoices shall be submitted for payment within 30 days after completion of the prior month’s services. Invoices shall not contain any employee Personally Identifiable Information (PII). Invoices shall be submitted via one of the following three methods:

1. By mail:

NPPD-FPS-Region 3

DHS, NPPD

Burlington Finance Center P.O. Box 1279 Williston, VT 05495-1279 Attn: FPS Region 3 Invoice

2. By facsimile (fax): # 802-288-7658. The invoice submission shall include a cover sheet with the contractor’s point of contact information and # of pages.

3. By e-mail: NPPDinvoice.consolidation@dhs.gov Field Code Changed mailto:NPPDinvoice.consolidation@dhs.gov�

The invoice number and FPS Region 3 shall be annotated in the subject line of the e-mail.

Only (1) invoice shall be submitted per e-mail message. The invoice attached to the e-mail shall be in Portable Document Format (PDF).

Invoices submitted by other than these three methods will not be processed and will be returned.

Contractors shall provide an informational copy of each invoice to the Contract Specialist at beth.arnold-messick@dhs.gov and the Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative richard.rhames@dhs.gov.

In addition to the information required for a proper invoice as identified in FAR 52.212-4 (g)(1), Contract Terms and Conditions – Commercial Items, (JUNE 2010), the contractor shall annotate “FPS Region 3” on the face of each invoice. Contractors shall submit only one invoice per contract per month unless otherwise authorized by the Contracting Officer. Failure to comply with these submission requirements will result in rejection of the invoice.

10B. PAYMENTS

1. Payment will be made on a calendar month basis in arrears upon submission of an invoice. Payment will be due on the 30th calendar day after receipt of a proper invoice or date of receipt of services, whichever is later.

2. It is the objective of the Government to obtain complete and satisfactory performance in accordance with the terms of specifications and requirements of this contract. The criteria for deductions and adjustments below will be used by the Government in determining monetary deductions for nonperformance of work under this contract and for adjustments for deficiencies in the performance of work. In no event shall contractor invoice or the Government be obligated to pay for any hours in excess of the amount identified within the contract (inclusive of all modifications).

3. The Contractor is responsible for submitting accurate invoices that reflect the actual services provided each month. Where there are variances between the requirements cited in the task order(s) and the work actually performed (e.g., unmanned posts), the Contractor shall attach a separate sheet to the invoice detailing each instance of a variance. The Contractor shall compute the invoice price to reflect the actual amount of hours performed. Repeated substantiated errors in invoicing may adversely affect the performance assessments assigned during the pendency of the contract. Submission of false invoices shall be subject to contractual and legal actions.

4. To verify the monthly payment for productive man-hours, the Contracting Officer’s designated representative may compare the labor-hours required in the task order with the DHS Form 139, Record of Time of Arrival and Departure from Buildings, or other approved sign-in/sign-out form. The Government may perform a 100% comparison or sampled comparison to verify the accuracy of the Contractor’s invoice. The Government will only pay for services actually rendered by the Contractor and funded on the task order. If variances are noted between the invoice and the DHS Form 139, the Government will propose a price deduction. For example, if the task order required that a post be manned for 12 hours, and the Contractor billed for 12 hours, but the DHS Form 139 shows that post was manned for 10 hours, the 10 hours will prevail and the Government will deduct the difference.

Any inquiries regarding payment shall be directed to the COTR and/or CO.

10C. ADJUSTING PAYMENTS FOR CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE

1. Deductions for Failure to Provide Man-hours

a. To compute labor-hour deductions the Contracting Officer's Representative will compare the man-hours reported by the Contractor through the Post Tracking System (PTS)(PTS is further defined in the SOW), with the DHS Form 139, Record of Time of Arrival and Departure from Buildings, or other approved Sign-in/Sign-out methods.

b. Reduction at Post – In the event that posted PSOs were released or were not required to report due to weather closure, Presidential declared holiday, or similar unforeseen occurrence, payments will be made only for the hours actually worked.

c. In the event the Contractor reports more hours than are reflected in PTS, on the DHS Form 139, or any other approved Sign-in/Sign-out method, the approved method will prevail. For example: If the weekly report submitted by the Contractor indicates that an employee worked 8 hours and the sign-in/sign-out form shows that employee as having been in the building 5 hours, the 5 hours will prevail and a deduction will be taken for the 3 hours not furnished. In the event the Contractor, for any reason whatsoever, fails to provide the manpower specified for labor, deductions will be made at the current fully weighted hourly rate.

d. The Government may assess price deductions for each post hour where services are not rendered in accordance to the provisions of the contract (e.g. PSO on post but not properly equipped, certified or licensed).

e. Use of deductions does not preclude the use of any other remedies. The Government reserves all contractual rights and remedies. Nothing in this section shall be interpreted to allow the contractor to knowingly fail to provide the manpower specified for labor and/or render services that are not in accordance with the provisions of the contract.

2. Contractor Use of DHS Form 139, or Approved Alternate

If the Contractor uses DHS Form 139 (Record of Time of Arrival/Departure from Facility) the Contractor will retrieve the forms from each post and submit the reports for the previous week to the COTR every Monday by 10:00 am or as otherwise directed by the COTR. The Contractor shall incorporate and certify that the data contained on the approved sign-in form is accurate, complete and in agreement with the hours presented on their invoice. (Facsimile copies of completed DHS Form 139’s may not be used for this purpose.)
