A. Section 12.1.2.1 of the Statement of Work is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Exhibit 1 to the Statement of Work specifies which posts require provision of a relief PSO if the assigned PSO is taking a break or meal period to ensure continuous/uninterrupted coverage. The Contractor must provide a replacement PSO for each employee on an authorized break. Patrol (rover) PSOs shall not be used to provide breaks/relief. Supervisors shall not provide relief while working in a supervisory capacity (i.e. a supervisor shall not perform supervisory and productive PSO services simultaneously). In order to provide breaks and/or relief, a supervisor must sign-off as a supervisor, remove any supervisory insignia, and sign-in as a productive PSO. PSOs working a minimum 8 hour shift shall be provided a paid 15 minute break for each 4 hours of work. This break should normally be scheduled in the middle of each 4 hour period. A 30 minute unpaid lunch break shall also be provided to those individuals. All PSOs working a 6 hour shift shall be provided a paid 15 minute break and an unpaid 30 minute lunch break.

PSOs working a minimum of 4 hours shall be provided a paid 15 minute break.

B. Section 15.3.7 is hereby added to the Statement of Work as follows:

The contractor shall provide a monthly report to the Contracting Officer and COTR no later than the 15th calendar day following the month that the report is due (i.e. the April report would be due May 15th). At a minimum, this monthly report shall contain all the information found at Exhibit 11.

C. Exhibit 11 is hereby added to Attachment II, Exhibits (see attached).

D. References to “hourly” in SOW Sections 5.3.1.12 and 5.4.2.5 are revised to “monthly.”

The following information is provided for informational purposes only:

E. Before asking any questions, please read the solicitation completely and carefully.

F. The seniority lists for the current Contracts/BPAs are attached. USEC, C&D Security, SecTek, Master

Security Company, Coastal International Security, Inc., Frontier Systems, and Ares Group are the incumbent contractors for the other sites.

G. An excel version of Attachment 6 – Price Element Breakdown is attached. It is required to include a breakdown of the pricing by specific Building. The Government does not guarantee that the formulas within the spreadsheet are correct. If contractors choose to use the spreadsheet, they should check all calculations for accuracy.

H. An excel version of Exhibit 1A – Onsite Supervisory Post Exhibit is attached.

I. Word versions of Attachment 3 – Past Project Form and Attachment 4 – Past Performance Questionnaire are attached.

J. With regard to questions concerning the CBAs, the Government will not interpret provisions of these documents for potential offerors (e.g. supervisory positions etc.). Please refer to the applicable Federal Acquisition Regulations and Code of Federal Regulations as they relate to the Service Contract Act.

Service Contract Act price adjustments pursuant to FAR 52.222-43 will be conducted on the anniversary date of the contract (i.e. October 1, 2012, October 1, 2013 etc.).

K. With regard to questions concerning the training of incumbent PSOs, most of the PSOs are trained in accordance with most of the requirements of the solicitation; however, there are some notable differences.

The current Contracts/BPAs do not require body armor or OC spray (and the associated training). In addition, PSOs will have to qualify with their individually assigned weapon semi-annually. The current Contracts/BPAs require annual qualification. Further, the current Contracts/BPAs do not contain the training in exhibits 4H and 4I which may be deferred until this new FPS training is operational; however, this training shall be priced out in an offeror’s proposal as once the training is operational, the contractor will need to schedule their employees in relation to this training within 30 days of notification from the Government. All contract PSO personnel must meet the requirements of the solicitation before they can work under the new awarded contract except the aforementioned training in Exhibits 4H and 4I. The current Contracts/BPAs require the 9mm handgun.

L. With regard to questions concerning medical standards, note that the instant solicitation’s requirements differ from the requirements in the current Contracts/BPAs. All contract PSO personnel must meet all the requirements of the solicitation before they can work under the new awarded contract.

M. With regard to questions concerning implementation of FPS/PTS and assignment of the associated personnel identification numbers (PINs), the following applies: PTS is not currently operational.

Information regarding PTS and assignment of PINs shall be provided post award and upon full implementation of the PTS. DHS Form 139 will be utilized prior to PTS implementation, and then only when PTS is not operational.

N. With regard to questions concerning the incumbent PSO training records, as the incumbent contractors maintain all training records, the Government cannot guarantee which records will be available to the successor contractor although the Government will make its best efforts to obtain all training documentation for the successor contractor. PSOs shall have all training records in relation to the contract’s requirements in order to stand post under this effort.

O. With regard to questions concerning potential site visits, site visits will not be provided to potential offerors.

P. With regard to questions concerning GSA Schedules, the following applies: This RFP is not for a GSA Schedule acquisition conducted in accordance with FAR 8.4; therefore, offerors are not required to have a GSA Contract and the Industrial Funding Fee (IFF) does not apply.

Q. With regard to questions related to current levels of supervision, this is not considered relevant to the present requirement as the Government is looking for an offeror’s approach to supervision at these facilities. Further, the Government does not currently proscribe supervision levels at the majority of the sites under this solicitation. When filling out the onsite supervisory post exhibit (Exhibit 1A), productive posts (Exhibit 1) shall not be converted to supervisory posts. Please note that only onsite supervision shall be listed on this exhibit (e.g. should not include Contract Managers, Trainers, Quality Control, Etc.).

R. With regard to questions concerning weapon storage, there are areas designated for weapon storage at most or all of the sites included under this effort.

S. Please include your representations and certifications as well as the SF 1449 and signed amendments with your price proposal. If these documents are included in the technical proposal, they will count against the page limitations. Continuation pages for the Past Project forms do not count against the page limitations.

T. In relation to the post exhibit (Exhibit 1), all posts are armed. Further, “M-F” posts exclude federal holidays while “7 days” posts include federal holidays.
