SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

AMENDMENT 0003

This amendment is being issued to make the following changes to the solicitation and address questions.

1) Change paragraph (3) on page 126 of the solicitation and as follows:

From:

(3) If a labor category listed on Attachment JL.2 (REV 1) is not employed by the offeror, the offeror shall note that if the labor category is used, it will be provided by a subcontractor. If the offeror intends to rely on a fixed price support subcontractor to provide the labor category, no rate needs to be provided on this particular form. In such cases, Offerors should note on the labor chart that the labor category will be provided by a firm fixed price (FFP) subcontractor. If the labor category will be provided by a cost reimbursable subcontractor, a note should be included on the labor chart, and the rates will need to be included on the JL.2 completed for the cost reimbursable subcontractor.

To:

(3) Each contractor, JV member and cost reimbursable subcontractor shall provide individual or average direct labor rates (including any adjustment for uncompensated overtime -see attachment JL.3) and ceiling labor rates for ALL LABOR CATEGORIES listed on attachment JL.2 and JL.2A (REV 2)., regardless of whether the offeror currently employs personnel in every required category or intends to rely on team members/subcontractors for the particular labor categories. If the contractor/subcontractor does not currently employ an employee(s) under the listed category, a market rate shall be provided. All labor categories listed on JL.2 (REV 2) shall be tied to an internal labor category or categories.

2) Change the tables on pages 127 and 128 of the solicitation to remove the Subcontract Administrator/FFP Sub row.

3) On page 8 of the solicitation, change the last labor category from “Site Quality Assurance (QA) Manager” to “Site Quality Control (QC) Manger. Additionally on page 8, in paragraph 8.4 make the following change:

From:

Quality Control (QC) Program Manager.

Responsibilities include developing, maintaining, and enforcing the QC program. The QC manager shall have 5 years of QC experience managing large construction and/or natural disaster recovery projects.

To:

Site Quality Control (QC) Manager The site QC Manager will work at the site to implement and manage the QC Program. Responsibilities include but are not limited to: attending and conducting QC meetings, perform submittal reviews, ensuring necessary testing is performed and providing any necessary QC certifications and documentation required by task orders. The QC manager should be on site at all times during construction activities. The individual must be familiar with the requirements of EM 385-1-1, and have experience in the areas of hazard identification and safety compliance. Must have 5 years of QC Manager experience in projects that are similar in size and type of construction contemplated under this contract.

4) Delete Attachment JL.2 and JL.2A. (REV 1).

5) Delete Attachment JL.7 (REV 1).

6) Insert Attachment JL.2 and JL.2A (REV 2)

7) Insert Attachment JL.7 (REV 2)

8) Change to the fourth paragraph on page 117 as follows:

The attached Construction Experience Project Data Sheet (Attachment JL.8) is MANDATORY and SHALL be used to submit project information. This form is set at 10pt font and the font size shall not be altered by the Offeror. Except as specifically requested, the Government will not consider information submitted in addition to this form. Individual blocks on this form may be expanded; however, total length for each project data sheet shall not exceed one (1) double-sided page (or two (2) single sided pages).

To:

The attached Construction Experience Project Data Sheet (Attachment JL.8) is MANDATORY and SHALL be used to submit project information. This form is set at 10pt font and the font size shall not be altered by the Offeror. Except as specifically requested, the Government will not consider information submitted in addition to this form. Individual blocks on this form may be expanded; however, total length for each project data sheet shall not exceed three (3) pages (either three (3) single sided pages or one (1) double sided page and one (1) additional single sided page). All pages addressing Attachment JL.8 are included in the overall 175 page limitation.

9) Delete Factor 5. Past Performance, Basis of Evaluation on page 140 and 141 and replace with the following:

The Government will evaluate past performance on recent and relevant projects submitted under Factor 1, Corporate Experience. The Government reserves the right, but is not required, to evaluate other recent and relevant projects, for which past performance is currently documented in known sources. The evaluation will consider the degree to which past performance evaluations provided by the contractor and any other past performance information reviewed by the Government (e.g., PPIRS, Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), award fee determinations, and information obtained for any other source reflect a trend of satisfactory performance considering:

A pattern of successful completion of tasks;

A pattern of deliverables that are timely and of good quality;

A pattern of cooperativeness and teamwork with the Government at all levels (task managers, contracting officers, auditors, etc.); and A respect for stewardship of Government funds

The Government will consider the recency and relevance of the information, the source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in the Contractor’s performance. This evaluation is separate and distinct from the Contracting Officer’s responsibility determination. The assessment of the Offeror’s past performance will be used as a means of evaluating the Offeror’s probability to successfully meet the requirements of the RFP.

Successful performance with recent/relevant, contingency/emergency construction projects may receive greater weight. Additional weight may be provided for successful performance on recent/relevant Federal cost plus award fee contracts.

Offerors lacking relevant past performance history, or whose past performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can reasonably be assigned, will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably in past performance and will receive an Unknown Confidence rating (Neutral).

10) Change the second and third paragraph under Factor 1. Corporate Experience on page 138 as follows:

A recent project is defined as one that has been completed in the past 10 years as of the date of the issuance of the solicitation.

A relevant project is defined as a completed project with a value of at least $10 million similar in scope, magnitude and complexity to the work anticipated under this contract.

To:

A relevant project is defined as a project that has been completed in the past 10 years as of the date of issuance of the solicitation with a value of at least $10 million in scope, magnitude and complexity to the work anticipated under this contract.

11) On Page 136, Appendix E—Pre-Award Survey change paragraph (1) to read as follows:

The company’s last three complete fiscal years’ (2014, 2015 and 2016) financial statements, audited, reviewed, or compiled by an independent accounting firm, including the accounting firm’s cover letter and full disclosure notes for the prime and each party to a joint venture. Additionally, the Offeror shall provide its most recent year to date financial statement available current year-to-date financial statements as of the quarter ending prior to submission of offers. Any offeror that intends to rely on the financial backing of its parent corporation must submit separate financial statements for both the partially-owned or wholly owned subsidiary and the parent corporation. If a partially-owned or wholly-owned subsidiary relying on the financial backing of a parent corporation cannot submit its own financial statements, provide a detailed explanation why. If a partially-owned or wholly-owned subsidiary which will be performing the contract is relying on a parent corporation for financial backing, a financial guarantee letter must also be submitted.

AMENDMENT 0003

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Question 1 RFP Section L, L.3 (2). Paragraph 3 on page 126 of the RFP states, “If the offeror intends to rely on a fixed price support subcontractor to provide the labor category, no rates needs to be provided on this particular form.” If this rate is left blank, this zero price rate will be used in the Cost Model JL.7, per the RFP, and that will make that offeror’s price lower than a offeror who is supplying all the positions in their proposal. Instead, should all contractors include a rate for all positons regardless of whether the prime or a subcontractor is providing the service?

Answer 1: Yes, See changes in this amendment.

Question 2 Pages 118, paragraph 1 states that Offerors shall submit signed unconditional letters of commitment for proposed key subcontractors and team members. Page 123, paragraph 2 states that we must Submit a copy of the joint venture agreement, other teaming agreement, Or binding letter of commitment from each team member. Please confirm that one Letter of Commitment (per teaming partner) will fulfill the requirement, as long as the LOC is binding and contains the required information.

Answer 2: Yes; however, if an entity is a JV, then a copy of the JV agreement must be provided. Additionally, the JV agreement/other teaming agreement/binding letter of commitment must be supplied in both the technical and cost proposals as stated on page 123 of the solicitation.

Question 3: How are we to include costs that affect worker wages on projects OCONUS, for example uplifts, taxes, etc.? We do need see a way to include those costs on the supplied forms.

Answer 3: Uplifts may be negotiated at the task order level and may be applied to the base rate for specific OCONUS areas depending on the threat level specified by the US Department of State and/or other conditions necessitating uplifts. Negotiated uplifts may not exceed the current rates for the pay period published by the US Department of State at http://aoprals.state.gov/Web920/allowance.asp.

Question 4: Would the Government accept a Certification of Engineer in Training (EIT) to meet the requirement for "professional registration"? Junior and mid-level engineers may not yet be qualified to sit for the PE exam.

Answer 4: Refer to Amendment 0002 for changes to Jr. Engineer requirements. The requirement for a professional registration for mid or senior-level engineers is not changed.

Question 5: Regarding section L, Volume 2, Section I – Standard Form 33, Tab 1 (page 122 of 141), we are instructed to include on the form not only the DUNS number and CAGE Code for the JV under which we are proposing, but also the DUNS Number and CAGE Code for both JV members and all cost reimbursable subs. On the SF33 we are also instructed to provide the date of the last EEO Check for the Prime, the JV members, and all cost reimbursable subs. And finally, we are supposed to include verification of our current VETS 4212 report submission, again on the SF33. Since all of this information is being provided on the “Listing of team member corporate names and points of contact “immediately following the cover sheet, and since the SF33 is limited on space, we request that the requirement to include all of this information a second time on the SF33 be removed from the proposal instructions.

Answer 5: The question appears to be the result of misinterpretation. The section on page 122 addresses the tabs required under Section I. Tab 1 includes: Signed and completed SF33 (solicitation, Offer and award) as well as SF30's (if issued). The SF33 shall include the offerors period of validity of the proposal in block 12 of the SF33. Tab

1 must also include the requirements of items a. (Cage Code, Duns etc) and b. Date of last EEO for each prime and all cost reimbursable subs and each member of a joint venture.

Question 6: The RFP identifies a Site Quality Assurance (QA) Manager but the description is for a Quality Control (QC) Manager. Please verify that this position should be a Site Qualtiy Control (QC) Manager.

Answer 6: See changes in this amendment.

Question 7: The RFP identifies a Site Construction Manager. Please verify that this position is equivalent to a Site Superintendent.

Answer: 7: Yes.

Question 8: Please clarify whether the 2 page limit for Corporate Experience projects includes the first page of contract data (Questions 1‐ 7), or whether we are allowed 2 pages of text to address Questions 9‐ 11.

Answer 8: See changes in this amendment.

Question 9: Section M, paragraph M‐2(5), Past Performance Basis of Evaluation, states that recency is a factor that will be used to evaluate Past Performance. In this same section, it defines recency as “ One that has been completed in the past 10 years of the date of issuance of the solicitation”. Will any project that was completed within the last 10 years be considered equally recent, or will a higher weighting be placed on projects completed more recently than 10 years ago (closer to the proposal submittal date)?

Answer 9: See changes in this amendment.

Question 10: An offeror asked whether the Government would consider allowing projects with only close out tasks to be considered as completed projects for Corporate Experience.

Answer 10: No.

Question 11: Attachment JL.8, Block 1, We are assuming the requested POC information is for the firm completing the work and not client information?

Answer 11: Correct.

Question 12: Page 37 of 47 in amendment 0002, Paragraph 3, If a labor category listed on Attachment JL.2(REV

1) is not employed by the offeror, the offeror shall note that if the labor category is used, it will be provided by a subcontractor. If the offeror intends to rely on a fixed price support subcontractor to provide the labor category, no rate needs to be provided on this particular form. In such cases, Offerors should note on the labor chart that the labor category will be provided by a firm fixed price (FFP) subcontractor. If the labor category will be provided by a cost reimbursable subcontractor, a note should be included on the labor chart, and the rates will need to be included on the JL.2(REV 1) completed for the cost reimbursable subcontractor. Question: If an offeror has multiple cost centers (or affiliates), each with a specific CAS Disclosure Statement and Indirect Cost Rates, for certain functions or labor categories, is it acceptable for the offer to apply the definition above to prime contractor cost centers (or affiliates) and therefore, only propose labor rates that apply?

Answer 12: No, see additional changes made in this Amendment. The requirement is that each prime, each JV partner and each cost reimbursable subcontractor is to provide rates for all labor categories on JL.2, JL.2A and JL.7.

Question 13: In Paragraph L‐2.2, Proposal Format, Volume 1, we are requested to include copies of letters of commitment from the team members. We are separately asked to provide copies of Joint Venture Agreements or other teaming arrangement agreements. Later in Paragraph L‐2.2, Proposal Format, Volume 2, we are asked to submit a copy of our joint venture agreement, other teaming agreements, or binding letter of commitment from each team member. Please clarify since for Volume 1 it appears you are requiring a letter of commitment from all team members, but in Volume 2 this appears to be an either/or request. We do not need letters of commitment for firms with whom we already have either a Joint Venture Agreement or a Teaming Agreement specific to this opportunity, do we?

Answer 13: If you have either a joint-venture agreement or a teaming agreement specific to this opportunity, you do not need an additional letter of commitment from these firms.

Question 14: The instructions state that if a completed CCASS is available, an offeror shall not submit a PPQ. If an offeror has a CCASS that was completed but with only very minimal information, likely not sufficient to permit evaluation, is it acceptable to submit both the CCASS and a PPQ?

Answer: 14: No.

Question 15: The instructions state “Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs or CPARS previously submitted for other RFPs.” Should CPARS be struck from this sentence?

Answer 15: No.

Question 16: Scope of Services, page 4, para 2, and Clause G-4, 3(j). This paragraph and associated clause states that the Government may issue a Task Order unilaterally, directing the contractor to perform any work within the scope of the contract, even if the contractor elects not to submit a bid. Please confirm whether a contractor who elects not to submit a proposal for a particular Task Order may still be issued a unilateral TO directing performance of that work?

Answer 16: While this situation has never occurred, it is a possibility and the language will remain in the contract.

Question 17: For the Cost Volume, Section III – Appendices, Appendix E – Pre‐Award Survey, we are asked to provide our current year‐to‐date financial statements as of the quarter ending prior to submission of offers. This quarter ends March 31, 2018 and there is no time for these statements to be prepared before submittal of the proposals. May we assume that the financial statements for the quarter ending December 31, 2017 will be sufficient at this time?

Answer 17: Yes, see changes made by this amendment.

Question 18: In order to provide the most comprehensive and responsive proposal and to incorporate pending response to questions, we respectfully request a two week extension to the proposal due date and request a one week extension for submitting RFP questions.

Answer 18: No.

Question 19: Paragraph a.1 (page 36 of Amendment 002) states that offerors shall propose ceiling rates for direct labor for all labor categories listed in Attachment JL.2 (REV 1) by either the prime contractor or key subcontractor. However, Section II.a.3 (page 37) directs that if the offeror intends to rely on a fixed price support subcontractor to provide the labor category, no rate needs to be provided on this particular form. The sample JL.2 (REV 1) Form on page 39 provides a blank rate for FFP subcontractor. Please clarify if all direct charged labor categories require a ceiling rate, or if labor categories provided by FFP subcontractor are zero values and therefore translates to zero values against the associated hours in the Cost Model Attachment JL.7.

Answer 19: See changes made by this Amendment 0003. All prime contractors, each JV member and each cost reimbursable subcontractor shall complete JL.2 (REV 2), JL.2A (REV 2) and JL.7 (REV 2) for all labor categories.

Question 20: Paragraph a.1 (page 36 of Amendment 002) states that offerors shall propose ceiling rates for direct labor for all labor categories listed in Attachment JL.2(REV 1) by either the prime contractor or key subcontractor. Further stated in Attachment JL.2, Note 3: This information shall be provided for the Prime, each member of a JV entity and/or cost reimbursable sub‐contract (if applicable). Please confirm that a proposed cost reimbursable subcontractor can propose on just the labor categories they would provide support to the prime and do not need a rate for all categories.

Answer 20: See changes made by this Amendment 0003. All prime contractors, each JV member and each cost reimbursable subcontractor shall complete JL.2 (REV 2), JL.2A (REV 2) and JL.7 (REV 2) for all labor categories.

Question 21: Amendment 002, Section L-3 Proposal Submission Instructions, paragraph g, Summary Cost Model for Multiple Offerors, page 44. Paragraph g, Additional Instructions (page 44 of Amendment 0002) for Attachment JL7.A Cost Model Summary Sheet directs this form is to be submitted by the prime and includes an example for the Summary Sheet. This example format is different than the Attachment JL.7A Microsoft Excel file format provided with the RFP such as showing breakout subcontractor mark-up. Please confirm that the Summary Sheet received in the Excel file is not to be modified to match the example form.

Answer 21: The Summary Sheet shall be modified to reflect your cost reimbursable contract arrangements.

Question 22: Amendment 002, Section L-3 Proposal Submission Instructions, Section II, paragraph a and paragraph f. Section L-3 Proposal Submission Instructions, direct that a separate form will be submitted by the prime, each joint venture member, and each cost reimbursable subcontractor for Attachments JL.2 Direct Labor Ceiling Rates and for Attachment JL.7 Cost Model. Additionally footnote 8 of Attachment JL.7 instructs the offeror shall utilize listed labor categories and input unburdened ceiling labor rates from Attachment JL.2. In consideration that any labor category covered by a cost reimbursable subcontractor(s) would have different indirect costs, please confirm the JL.7 Cost Model for the cost subcontractor would populate only the rates for the labor categories they would provide in their respective Model and that the Prime would include in their Model the rates for categories not covered by cost subcontractor(s) ensuring all labor categories are covered.

Answer 22: No. See changes made by this Amendment 0003. All prime contractors, each JV member and each cost reimbursable subcontractor shall complete JL.2 (REV 2), JL.2A (REV 2) and JL.7 (REV 2) for all labor categories.

Question 23: Attachment JL.7 Cost Model has a pre‐populated value for Subcontracts. Please confirm that the value is to be considered as Firm Fixed Price subcontracts.

Answer 23: Yes.

Question 24: Paragraph L-3, Volume 1: Non-Cost Proposal, (4) Small Business Utilization, (ii)(2)c – The instructions state that we “shall submit small business subcontracting information associated with each project cited under the Corporate Experience Factor in the format provided in Attachment JL.9 Small Business Subcontracting Record.” However, for projects that took place in non-U.S. locations (U.S. or U.S.

territories) and therefore were not subject to U.S. small business utilization requirements, did not have small business goals, and may not have this information. Is the requirement for completing JL.9 forms for projects not subject to U.S. requirements required and applicable? If yes, how do you treat companies that meet some of the Small Business categories (minority owned) but do not have SBA certification?

Answer 24: Attachment JL.9 should be provided for EVERY Corporate Experience project submitted, even projects that are performed exclusively overseas or awards that did not require a subcontracting plan. Offerors should include rationale within their proposal for projects (contracts or task orders) that were performed exclusively overseas and/or projects that did not have opportunities for subcontracting (100% self-performed). In these circumstances, the form will indicate 0 dollars for total subcontracting. Furthermore, it is acceptable to say that goals were "N/A" (as typical for most task orders - subcontracting goals are tied to the contract and not an individual task order) and likewise it is understood that not all projects have subcontracting opportunities.

Your proposal will be evaluated in accordance with the Basis for Evaluation provided in Section M.

Question 25: Factor 4, Are ISRs required to be submitted for projects performed outside of the US that have no small business requirements?

Answer 25: ISRs shall be submitted if an ISR is required for the project.

SECTION C - DESCRIPTIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS

The following have been modified:

Section C - Descriptions and Specifications

SCOPE OF WORK

SECTION C - DESCRIPTIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS

SCOPE OF WORK

SCOPE OF WORK

This procurement is for a multiple award contract for global contingency construction. Approximately 4 contracts will be awarded as a result of this solicitation. The contracts are for a base year and four (4) one-year option periods. The total five-year (base and four, one-year options) estimated construction cost is not to exceed $500,000,000.00 for all contracts. The minimum guarantee for each contract is $25,000.00 over the life of the contract. This will be an Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) type contract with provisions for the placement of either Cost-Plus–Award-Fee or Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) orders.

After award of the initial contracts, task orders will be issued in accordance with the regulations set forth at FAR

16.505. Placement procedures for task orders will insure that all awardees are given fair consideration for task order requirements. Selection procedures will be tailored based on the nature of the task order requirements and selection may be based on a variety of methods including best value, low priced-technically acceptable or low price. Where applicable, each request for submission in conjunction with placing a task order will state the method of selection.

Specific evaluation factors will be identified in the request for submission. In some instances, the price evaluation for placement of a task order may be based on the Offeror’s current G&A, overhead, and Forward Rate Pricing Agreement not to exceed the proposed ceiling rates incorporated into the contract. Contractors may elect not to submit on all task order requirements; however, the contractor must notify the contracting officer in writing when a Contractor elects not to submit on a particular task order requirement. In all instances, the Government reserves the right to issue a unilateral task order directing a contractor to perform a particular project within the scope of the contract. In all such cases, contractors are obligated to perform the work required in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract

The work includes providing supervision, equipment, materials, labor, travel and all means necessary to provide the Navy and the Navy on behalf of Department of Defense (DOD), or other Federal agencies when authorized, an immediate response for civilian construction contract capability. The contract will provide construction, design/build construction, and related engineering services in response to natural disasters, humanitarian assistance, conflict, or projects with similar characteristics, and other urgent requirements. The work also includes the capability to set up and operate Material Liaison Office (MLO) at a deployed site in support of Naval Construction Force operations.

The Contractors may be tasked to participate in military exercises. Work may include occasional projects to ensure readiness to perform under emergency situations.

Work will be predominately construction. The Contractors, in support of the construction effort, may be required to provide initial Base Operating Support (BOS) Services, which will be incidental to construction efforts. Should the need arise for incidental emergency services under this contract, NAVFAC Facilities Services Contract/Base Operating Support templates will be used which are performance-based and comply with Office of Management and Budget’s and DOD’s performance-based services. These services are primarily anticipated in support of facilities overseas, but may also be ordered for work in the United States in support of disaster recovery efforts and other contingency operations. The Service Contract Act and other applicable clauses will be incorporated by individual task order, as necessary, for stateside work.

Construction critical response during an emergency will primarily support aid for natural disasters, military conflict or humanitarian aid. Early mobilization and start up construction is the utmost goal of this procurement. The potentially massive logistics of moving people, materials, and equipment for numerous and simultaneous projects and work sites will require flexibility and extensive management and coordination. The Contractor shall be required to work very closely and in detail with Navy procurement, planning, and program officials. The goals and planned actions may be developed through Contractor and Navy iterative discussions. The contract is not meant to necessarily eliminate all other construction procurements surrounding a situation, but is to provide a critical action response and continued momentum in providing recovery or support.

The intent of the contract is to have maximum flexibility in construction and related planning, design, engineering, and construction material logistics. The following are types of construction products the Contractor could be required to provide: (The list is not all-inclusive).

Dredging Airfield runway construction and/or repair Airfield facilities construction Administrative and educational facilities Hardened facilities and personnel bunkers Electric power plant Electric power distribution systems Communication facilities Water treatment plant Sewage treatment plant Enemy containment and processing facilities Water well drilling Stabilization Building Envelope Repairs Fencing Garbage disposal / recycling facilities Transportation depots for materials Warehouse facilities for construction materials Warehouse facilities for other customers Facilities for berthing and billeting Facilities for equipment dispatch, repair, decontamination Ammunition storage facilities Rail facilities Bridges Causeways Medical clinics/field hospitals Road construction (asphalt, concrete, engineered fill) Soils engineering Fire fighting facilities and distribution systems Pier and Waterfront construction

Petroleum handling pier facilities Petroleum storage facilities *Chemical, Biological, and Radiological area decontamination *Environmental restoration Operations of power generation, concrete and asphalt plants, etc.

* The contractor may be required to perform long term and/or controlled clean-up of sites in austere and/or contingency environments. Contractors will not be “first responders”. The Contractor may be required to respond to multiple requests for environmental support at various sites. These services may include actions, such as, but not limited to, the following: Performing remedial and/or removal actions; expedited and emergency response actions at sites; facility operation, maintenance and instruction; developing work plans; range clean up and closure; performing site characterizations, groundwater characterization studies; Anti-terrorist/force protection (ATFP) hazmat release incident response (not first responder) and remediation of ATFP related hazmat such as anthrax or any chemical, biological or radiological (CBR) agent.

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

1. The Global Contingency Construction (GCC) contract is envisioned to operate in a variety of environments that will require the Contractor to flexibly apply technical and other standards as required by the situation and the individual Task Orders as issued.

2. At all times during execution of work under this contract the contractor will be required to control the quality of the work, and manage the safety of the workers accomplishing work under this contract.

3. Construction tasks may range from very expedient or expeditionary efforts not intended for long-term use to complex, permanent facilities. Therefore, for construction tasks, the decision as to the applicability of common industry and government standards and guide specifications will be made by the Contracting Officer. The following specific General Requirements Sections from the Uniform Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS) are incorporated into this contract and may found at the following website: https://www.wbdg.org. Specific text for each section is included below. Each of these sections is hereby incorporated in the basic contract but may be further modified if necessary by Task Order.
