Enterprise-Wide Contractor Manpower Reporting Application (ECMRA) The contractor shall report ALL contractor labor hours (including subcontractor labor hours) required for performance of services provided under this contract for the NAWCAD via a secure data collection site. The contractor is required to completely fill in all required data fields using the following web address: https://www.ecmra.mil.

Reporting inputs will be for the labor executed during the period of performance during each Government fiscal year (FY), which runs October 1 through September 30. While inputs may be reported any time during the FY, all data shall be reported no later than October 31 of each calendar year. Contractors may direct questions to the help desk, linked at https://ecmra.support.desk@mail.com.

Work Schedule to include Compressed Work Schedule (CWS), overtime, holidays, and installation closure Work Schedule The Contractor shall provide the required services and staffing coverage during normal working hours. Normal working hours are usually 8.5 hours (including a 30-minute lunch break), from 0630 to 1800 each Monday through Friday (except on the legal holidays specified in paragraph 3.1.4.1.2).

Compressed Work Schedule (CWS) CWS is an alternative work schedule to the traditional five 8.5 hour workdays (which includes a 30-minute lunch) worked per week. Under a CWS schedule, an employee completes the following schedule within a two-week period of time: Mondays through Thursdays are worked at 9.5 hours each (which includes a 30-minute lunch), and one Friday is alternately worked as 8.5 hours (which includes a 30-minute lunch) while the other Friday is not worked by the employee. The result is 80 hours worked every two weeks, with 44 work hours one week and 36 work hours the other.

The Contractor may allow its employees to work a CWS schedule provided the requirements of this SOW are met and schedules comply with on-site Government oversight requirements as outlined in Section 3.1.4.1.3. If the Contractor chooses to allow its employees to work a CWS schedule in support of this contract, any additional costs associated with the implementation of the CWS schedule vice the standard schedule are unallowable costs under this contract and will not be reimbursed by the Government. Additionally, the CWS schedule shall not prevent Contractor employees from providing necessary staffing and services coverage as required by the Government.

Holidays The Government observes the following holidays:

New Year’s Day, January 1 Martin Luther King’s Birthday, the third Monday in January President’s Birthday, the third Monday in February Memorial Day, the last Monday in May Independence Day, July 4 Labor Day, the first Monday in September Columbus Day, the second Monday in October Veteran’s Day, November 11 Thanksgiving Day, the fourth Thursday in November Christmas Day, December 25 With the exception of the events in section 3.1.4.1.3, the Contractor is permitted to observe the above Holidays in accordance with its corporate policy.

Installation closure When Federal facilities are closed by the Government, or when Federal employees are officially excused from work due to a holiday or a special event, severe weather, a security threat, or any other Government facility related problem that prevents Federal personnel from working at the Government facility, Contractor personnel assigned to work at that facility in support of such Federal employees shall follow their parent company’s policies.

While generally Contractor personnel may not perform work on-site at a Government facility without oversight from Federal personnel, in very limited circumstances, work being performed by Contractor personnel may be deemed mission essential and performance of such mission essential work may be authorized to continue at the Government facility despite the facility being otherwise closed for normal operations. The circumstances permitting work being performed by Contractor personnel to be deemed mission essential are extremely limited and generally only apply to performance of efforts related to public health, safety, or matters related to national security. The cognizant Contracting Officer must concur with any determination that work being performed by Contractor personnel is mission essential.

Overtime Premiums for overtime are not authorized on this contract. Overtime premiums cannot be charged directly to the contract unless first approved in writing by the Chief of the Contracting Officer. For critical/time-sensitive tasking, with prior approval of the COR/ACOR, additional hours may be authorized at the contractor's regular fully burdened hourly rate to the extent consistent with the contractor's accounting practices and the Fair Labor Standards Act.

Other Direct Costs Travel Travel may include general and administrative expenses, but shall not include profit/fee. Temporary travel to other locations in support of program tasking is required. Contractor personnel shall travel as required to provide needed tasks through off-site meetings, training, conferences, design, installation, integration, maintenance, or system test and to support field experiments or other test and evaluation events. As part of this travel, Contractor personnel may be required to travel overseas or serve onboard ships for extended (2-3 weeks) sea tests. If required, temporary travel locations may include, but are not limited to, California, Florida, Hawaii, Indiana, Washington, Japan, Scotland, Australia, Italy, United Kingdom, the Caribbean, and the Bahamas. This list is not all inclusive as locations may change over the life of the contract.

Material/Other Direct Costs Material/Other Direct Costs may include general and administrative expenses, but shall not include profit/fee. All materials not depleted during the performance of this contract shall become Government property upon completion of this contract. The Contractor shall transfer all materials not depleted to the COR by way of Material Inspection and Receiving Report (DD Form 250).

Subcontractors Provisions stated herein shall be clearly and effectively communicated to all subcontractors providing support under this contract. All provisions of this SOW shall flow down to subcontractors providing support under this contract.

Management of Contractor Personnel The Government will neither supervise contractor employees nor control the method by which the Contractor performs the required tasks. Under no circumstances will the Government assign tasks to, or prepare work schedules for, individual contractor employees. The Contractor shall manage its employees and guard against any actions that are of the nature of personal services, or give the perception of personal services.

Transition-Out Strategy The Contractor’s overall transition out strategy shall be built around maintaining the mission of NAWCAD-4.5.14 with minimal impact, not only in terms of timeliness of performance but also to ensure that critical data and knowledge transfer occurs. Upon termination or expiration of the contract, the Contractor shall ensure an orderly transition of responsibilities, while minimizing impact to the operation.

The Contractor shall provide mechanical and electrical engineering support in the areas of test equipment and test site preparation, and assistance in conducting sea tests and data collection. The Contractor shall analyze, compile, summarize and draw conclusions from test data gathered by DoD and other Contractors supporting their avionics sensor programs. The Contractor shall generate a Requirements Traceability Verification matrix to relate test results to test requirements. Specific test locations, duration, and complexity shall be defined via individual task orders.

Laboratory, Sensor System Management (SSM), Test Site Support The Contractor shall support laboratory, SSM, and test site requirement development and associated planning for development, modification, upgrade, integration and evaluation of new and legacy sensor technologies and systems for laboratory, SSM, field, or platform employment. The Contractor shall provide the functional design and development of hardware and software necessary for laboratory, SSM, field, or platform system integration. The Contractor shall procure hardware and software needed to fabricate the system, subsystem, test tools, test equipment, simulators, stimulators, information processing, information storage, fixtures, and conduct initial burn-in tests assuring the system, subsystem, test tools, equipment, and fixtures meet design and performance requirements.
