CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

252.243-7002 REQUESTS FOR EQUITABLE ADJUSTMENT (MAR 1998)

(a) The amount of any request for equitable adjustment to contract terms shall accurately reflect the contract adjustment for which the Contractor believes the Government is liable. The request shall include only costs for performing the change, and shall not include any costs that already have been reimbursed or that have been separately claimed. All indirect costs included in the request shall be properly allocable to the change in accordance with applicable acquisition regulations.

(b) In accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2410(a), any request for equitable adjustment to contract terms that exceeds the simplified acquisition threshold shall bear, at the time of submission, the following certificate executed by an individual authorized to certify the request on behalf of the Contractor:

I certify that the request is made in good faith, and that the supporting data are accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.

(Official's Name) (Title)

(c) The certification in paragraph (b) of this clause requires full disclosure of all relevant facts, including--

(1) Cost or pricing data if required in accordance with subsection 15.403-4 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR); and

(2) Information other than cost or pricing data, in accordance with subsection 15.403-3 of the FAR, including actual cost data and data to support any estimated costs, even if cost or pricing data are not required.

(d) The certification requirement in paragraph (b) of this clause does not apply to----

(1) Requests for routine contract payments; for example, requests for payment for accepted supplies and services, routine vouchers under a cost-reimbursement type contract, or progress payment invoices; or

(2) Final adjustment under an incentive provision of the contract.

52.209-9 Updates of Publicly Available Information Regarding Responsibility Matters (FEB 2012)

(a) The Contractor shall update the information in the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) on a semi-annual basis, throughout the life of the contract, by posting the required information in the Central Contractor Registration database via https://www.acquisition.gov.

(b) As required by section 3010 of the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2010 (Pub. L. 111-212), all information posted in FAPIIS on or after April 15, 2011, except past performance reviews, will be publicly available. FAPIIS consists of two segments--

(1) The non-public segment, into which Government officials and the Contractor post information, which can only be viewed by--

(i) Government personnel and authorized users performing business on behalf of the Government; or

(ii) The Contractor, when viewing data on itself; and

(2) The publicly-available segment, to which all data in the non-public segment of FAPIIS is automatically transferred after a waiting period of 14 calendar days, except for--

(i) Past performance reviews required by subpart 42.15;

(ii) Information that was entered prior to April 15, 2011; or

(iii) Information that is withdrawn during the 14-calendar-day waiting period by the Government official who posted it in accordance with paragraph (c)(1) of this clause.

(c) The Contractor will receive notification when the Government posts new information to the Contractor's record.

(1) If the Contractor asserts in writing within 7 calendar days, to the Government official who posted the information, that some of the information posted to the non-public segment of FAPIIS is covered by a disclosure exemption under the Freedom of Information Act, the Government official who posted the information must within 7 calendar days remove the posting from FAPIIS and resolve the issue in accordance with agency Freedom of Information procedures, prior to reposting the releasable information. The contractor must cite 52.209-9 and request removal within 7 calendar days of the posting to FAPIIS.

(2) The Contractor will also have an opportunity to post comments regarding information that has been posted by the Government. The comments will be retained as long as the associated information is retained, i.e., for a total period of 6 years. Contractor comments will remain a part of the record unless the Contractor revises them.

(3) As required by section 3010 of Pub. L. 111-212, all information posted in FAPIIS on or after April 15, 2011, except past performance reviews, will be publicly available.

(d) Public requests for system information posted prior to April 15, 2011, will be handled under Freedom of Information Act procedures, including, where appropriate, procedures promulgated under E.O. 12600.

The Government may require continued performance of any services within the limits and at the rates specified in the contract. These rates may be adjusted only as a result of revisions to prevailing labor rates provided by the Secretary of Labor. The option provision may be exercised more than once, but the total extension of performance hereunder shall not exceed 6 months. The Contracting Officer may exercise the option by written notice to the Contractor within not later than 15 calendar days before the contract expires.

52.217-9 OPTION TO EXTEND THE TERM OF THE CONTRACT (MAR 2000)

(a) The Government may extend the term of this contract by written notice to the Contractor not later than 15 calendar days prior to expiration of the existing contract; provided that the Government gives the Contractor a preliminary written notice of its intent to extend at least 60 days before the contract expires. The preliminary notice does not commit the Government to an extension.

(b) If the Government exercises this option, the extended contract shall be considered to include this option clause.

(c) The total duration of this contract, including the exercise of any options under this clause, shall not exceed 5 years, 6 months.

52.219-28 POST-AWARD SMALL BUSINESS PROGRAM REREPRESENTATION (APR 2009)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause--

Long-term contract means a contract of more than five years in duration, including options. However, the term does not include contracts that exceed five years in duration because the period of performance has been extended for a cumulative period not to exceed six months under the clause at 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, or other appropriate authority.

Small business concern means a concern, including its affiliates, that is independently owned and operated, not dominant in the field of operation in which it is bidding on Government contracts, and qualified as a small business under the criteria in 13 CFR part 121 and the size standard in paragraph (c) of this clause. Such a concern is ``not dominant in its field of operation'' when it does not exercise a controlling or major influence on a national basis in a kind of business activity in which a number of business concerns are primarily engaged. In determining whether dominance exists, consideration shall be given to all appropriate factors, including volume of business, number of employees, financial resources, competitive status or position, ownership or control of materials, processes, patents, license agreements, facilities, sales territory, and nature of business activity.

(b) If the Contractor represented that it was a small business concern prior to award of this contract, the Contractor shall rerepresent its size status according to paragraph (e) of this clause or, if applicable, paragraph (g) of this clause, upon the occurrence of any of the following:

(1) Within 30 days after execution of a novation agreement or within 30 days after modification of the contract to include this clause, if the novation agreement was executed prior to inclusion of this clause in the contract.

(2) Within 30 days after a merger or acquisition that does not require a novation or within 30 days after modification of the contract to include this clause, if the merger or acquisition occurred prior to inclusion of this clause in the contract.

(3) For long-term contracts--

(i) Within 60 to 120 days prior to the end of the fifth year of the contract; and

(ii) Within 60 to 120 days prior to the date specified in the contract for exercising any option thereafter.

(c) The Contractor shall rerepresent its size status in accordance with the size standard in effect at the time of this rerepresentation that corresponds to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code assigned to this contract. The small business size standard corresponding to this NAICS code can be found at http://www.sba.gov/services/contractingopportunities/sizestandardstopics/.

(d) The small business size standard for a Contractor providing a product which it does not manufacture itself, for a contract other than a construction or service contract, is 500 employees.

(e) Except as provided in paragraph (g) of this clause, the Contractor shall make the rerepresentation required by paragraph (b) of this clause by validating or updating all its representations in the Online Representations and Certifications Application and its data in the Central Contractor Registration, as necessary, to ensure that they reflect the Contractor's current status. The Contractor shall notify the contracting office in writing within the timeframes specified in paragraph (b) of this clause that the data have been validated or updated, and provide the date of the validation or update.

(f) If the Contractor represented that it was other than a small business concern prior to award of this contract, the Contractor may, but is not required to, take the actions required by paragraphs (e) or (g) of this clause.

(g) If the Contractor does not have representations and certifications in ORCA, or does not have a representation in ORCA for the NAICS code applicable to this contract, the Contractor is required to complete the following rerepresentation and submit it to the contracting office, along with the contract number and the date on which the rerepresentation was completed:

The Contractor represents that it ( ) is, ( ) is not a small business concern under NAICS Code - assigned to contract number .

(Contractor to sign and date and insert authorized signer's name and title).

52.222-49 SERVICE CONTRACT ACT--PLACE OF PERFORMANCE UNKNOWN (MAY 1989)

(a) This contract is subject to the Service Contract Act, and the place of performance was unknown when the solicitation was issued. In addition to places or areas identified in wage determinations, if any, attached to the solicitation, wage determinations have also been requested for the following . The Contracting Officer will request wage determinations for additional places or areas of performance if asked to do so in writing by not later than 14 calendar days to solicitation end date.

(b) Offerors who intend to perform in a place or area of performance for which a wage determination has not been attached or requested may nevertheless submit bids or proposals. However, a wage determination shall be requested and incorporated in the resultant contract retroactive to the date of contract award, and there shall be no adjustment in the contract price.

52.252-2 CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE (FEB 1998)

This contract incorporates one or more clauses by reference, with the same force and effect as if they were given in full text. Upon request, the Contracting Officer will make their full text available. Also, the full text of a clause may be accessed electronically at this/these address(es):

52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors--Commercial Items FEB 2012

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-1

A. General Instructions.

1. To assure timely and equitable evaluation of proposals, offerors must follow the instructions contained herein.

Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being ineligible for award. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale.

1.1. The Government shall not conduct a pre-proposal conference for this solicitation.

2. The response shall consist of four (4) separate volumes: Part I – Technical Capability; Part II – Past Performance; Part III – Small Business Commitment; and Part IV – Price Proposal and Contract Documentation.

To the greatest extent possible, each volume shall be written on a stand-alone basis so that its contents may be evaluated with a minimum of cross referencing to other volumes of the proposal. Information required for proposal evaluation which is not found in its designated volume will be assumed to have been omitted from the proposal.

Cross-referencing within a proposal volume is permitted where its use would conserve space without impairing clarity.

3. The contracting officer has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition.

B. Specific Instructions

1. Volume I – Technical Capability (shall not exceed sixty (60) pages)

Offerors shall submit documentation explaining the offeror’s basic commercial offering for rail in-transit visibility (ITV) and fleet management (FM), as defined in PWS paragraph 1.3.1.

The explanation shall include how the offeror plans to ensure that all final deliverables meet or exceed the

PWS requirements. Offerors may submit any other documentation or explanation as support for the PWS requirements.

2. Volume II – Past Performance

a. Performance Surveys: The government will evaluate the quality and extent of offeror’s performance deemed relevant to the requirements of this RFP. The government will use information submitted by the offeror and other sources, such as other Federal Government offices and commercial sources, to assess performance. The offeror shall send out the Past Performance Questionnaires (See Attachment 1 to the RFP) to each of the offeror’s Points of Contact (POCs). Each individual example provided does not need to reflect performance in all four (4) areas listed below, but shall demonstrates customer satisfaction with overall job performance and quality of services for same or similar type contracts performed for Federal agencies and commercial customers within the last three

(3) years. Information must be current (within last three (3) years). Undated information or information over three years old will not be considered. The responsibility to send out the Past Performance Questionnaires rests solely with the offeror –i.e. it shall not be delegated to any other entity. The Transmittal Letter shall be used by the offeror in sending out the Past Performance Questionnaires. Once the Past Performance Questionnaires are completed by your POCs, the information therein shall be considered sensitive and shall not be released to you, the offeror.

Surveys shall be sent directly back to the Government. If more than one survey is received on any of the three (3) contract examples, only the first one received will be accepted. However, the Government reserves the right to give greater consideration to information on those contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in this RFP.

The evaluation of past performance information will take into account past performance information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement when such information is relevant to the instant acquisition.

b. Relevancy Statements (each relevancy statement is restricted to no more than one (1) page): For each of the three relevant contracts for which you send a Past Performance Questionnaire, provide with your proposal a relevancy statement which provides a clear explanation of the relevancy of each contract. These contracts should be similar in size, scope and complexity to the PWS requirements and should demonstrate the offeror’s ability to perform the work identified in the below Performance Areas. The government will not be bound by those statements in making its own relevancy determinations.

Performance Areas:

1) The receipt of empty car requests for military loading and the timely fulfillment of those requests for DFRIF or commercial cars.

2) Performance of the in-transit tracking of DFRIF cars, as well as all military loads and empty cars moving to be placed for military loading, to include actions to expedite cars delayed or misrouted.

3) The maintenance management of DFRIF cars, including assigning maintenance statuses based on periodic inspection, repair requirements, or problems reported by railroads, shippers, or Government inspectors;

sending cars requiring repair to Government car repair contractors; and maintaining a database of all repairs to each car, whether by railroads or contract shops.

4) The revenue management of DFRIF cars, including calculating mileage allowances due based on Car Location Messages, comparing calculated allowances due with mileage allowances reported by each railroad, resolving differences to the extent possible, and providing supporting documentation for Government action with respect to amounts which a railroad refuses to pay.

d. If a teaming arrangement is contemplated, provide complete information as to the arrangement, including details on which portion of the work each partner will be performing and any relevant and recent past/present performance information on previous teaming arrangements with same partner. If this is a first time joint effort, each party to the arrangement must provide a list of past and present relevant contracts.

e. Subcontractor Consent: Past performance information pertaining to a subcontractor cannot be disclosed to the prime offeror without the subcontractor’s consent. Provide with the proposal a letter from all subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement, consenting to the release of their past performance information to the prime contractor.

3. Volume III - Small Business Commitment

a. All Offerors shall provide a Commitment to Small Business Statement which will provide a narrative that describes the offeror’s intent and commitment to the use of small and small disadvantaged businesses in conducting the tasks under the contract. The statement shall not exceed five (5) pages and must address the following:

1) The dollar value and percentage of the total proposed subcontracted effort including the effort to LB, SB, SDB, WOSB, VOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone firms, and HBCUs/MIs. Identify, in terms of dollar value AND percentage of total proposed price, the extent of work you will perform as the prime contractor.

Successful offeror’s goals will be incorporated into the PWS at time of award.

2) The type of services to be subcontracted.

b. For each contract referenced under Past Performance Volume 2, a copy of Subcontracting Report for Individual Contracts (for example the SF294/Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (eSRS) Individual Subcontract Reports (ISR)) submitted under those contracts for the last three years. If targets were not met on referenced contracts, provide an explanation as to why. In addition, provide an explanation for any SF294/eSRS ISR not submitted for a contract referenced. Small business offerors may submit the total dollar value percentage of work (of total contract value) subcontracted to Large Business, HUBZone, Small Business, Small Disadvantaged Business, Woman-Owned Small Business, Veteran-Owned Small Business, and Small Disadvantaged Veteran- Owned Small Business firms for each contract referenced. If subcontracts were not awarded to all small business categories, provide an explanation as to why, for each category that did not receive subcontract work. If a contract(s) referenced under Past Performance Volume 2 did not include a SF294/eSRS ISR or subcontracts were not awarded to small business categories, along with an explanation, offerors may provide a SF294/eSRS ISR(s) or subcontract information for a relevant contract(s) not referenced in Past Performance Volume 2.

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 1999)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

(1) TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

(2) PAST PERFORMANCE

(3) SMALL BUSINESS COMMITMENT

(4) COST/PRICE

5.1.1. Factor 1 – Technical Capability.

5.1.1.1. The Government will evaluate the offeror’s technical capability to ensure the offeror’s proposal details a realistic approach to successfully accomplishing the tasks as detailed in the Performance Work Statement (PWS), Paragraph 1.3.

5.1.1.2. Measure of Merit. The measure of merit for this factor is met when the offeror meets the Government’s minimum requirements. This is achieved when the offeror submits a realistic approach for successfully accomplishing the PWS tasks. The offeror’s plan will be rated in accordance with the measure of merit and Acceptable (Pass) or Unacceptable (Fail) ratings shown below.

RATING DEFINITION

Acceptable Proposal meets the Government’s minimum requirements.

Unacceptable Proposal fails to meet the Government’s minimum requirements.

5.1.1.3. All technically unacceptable offers will be removed from any further consideration for award.

5.1.2. Factor 2 – Past Performance.

5.1.2.1. Using past performance questionnaires submitted by the offerors Point of Contacts (POCs) and other information independently obtained from Government or commercial sources (i.e. Past Performance Information Retrieval System, Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System, Questionnaires tailored to the circumstances for this acquisition, through Defense Contract Management Agency channels, or through interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officer Representatives and Contracting Officers), the Government will perform a confidence assessment on each offeror that submits an acceptable technical proposal. The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to allow the Government to assess the offerors’ ability to perform the effort described in this RFP, based on the offerors’ demonstrated past performance. Past Performance questionnaires will be evaluated on the basis of recency and relevancy. The Government will first evaluate the recency (current within the last three years) and then the relevancy. Past performance information submitted which exceeds the three (3) year limitation will not be considered.

5.1.2.2. The Government will perform an independent assessment of relevancy of the data provided or obtained. The Government may deem demonstrated performance more relevant on past performance whereby the offeror performed as the prime. In addition, relevancy will take into consideration DOD experience. The relevancy of each contract reference will be considered in the overall confidence assessment rating for the offeror. The following ratings will be used in evaluating the relevancy of the offerors’ past performance:

Very Relevant. Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Relevant. Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant. Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant. Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

5.1.2.3. Past Performance will be evaluated as a measure of the Government’s confidence in the offeror’s ability to successfully perform based on previous and current contracts. One of the following confidence assessment ratings will be assigned to each offeror:

Substantial Confidence. Based on the offerors recent/relevant performance record, the

Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence. Based on the offerors recent/relevant performance record, the

Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Limited Confidence. Based on the offerors recent/relevant performance record, the

Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence. Based on the offerors recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Unknown Confidence (Neutral). No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offerors performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

5.1.2.4. Offerors with no recent relevant past or present performance history shall receive an Unknown Confidence meaning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably. In evaluating past performance, the Government reserves the right to give greater consideration to information on those contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in this RFP.

5.1.3. Factor 3 – Small Business Commitment

5.1.3.1. The Government will evaluate each offeror on a GO/NO GO basis.

5.1.3.1.1. Offeror shall provide a Small Business Subcontracting Plan in accordance with FAR 19.704. The plan shall include positive goals including a comprehensive and detailed approach for attaining them.

5.1.3.1.2. Offeror shall provide evidence that established subcontracting goals for all small business categories were consistently met or exceeded under current or prior commercial or government contracts, or shall provide acceptable justification for not being able to consistently meet all goals.

5.1.4. Factor 4 – Cost/Price

5.1.4.1. Price/Cost will be evaluated but not rated.

5.1.4.2. The Government will conduct a price analysis to determine whether the proposed prices are fair and reasonable.

5.1.4.3. The Government will also conduct a price realism analysis to determine whether the specific elements of the proposal reflect a clear understanding of the requirements and are consistent with the unique methods of performance described in the offeror’s technical approach.

5.1.4.4. Options. The government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option rates are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the government to exercise the option(s).

5.1.4.5. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

5.2. Order of Importance: This is a best value source selection in which competing offerors' past performance history will be evaluated on a basis significantly more important than cost or price considerations. By submission of its offer, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or subfactors. All technically acceptable offers shall be treated equally except for their prices and performance records. Small Business Commitment will be rated on a go/no go basis and shall be treated equally except for their prices and performance records. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being determined technically unacceptable.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
