BACKGROUND

1.1 The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is an independent Federal agency whose mission is to preserve and to provide continuing access to the historically valuable records of the Federal Government. These records are indispensable for documenting the rights of citizens, accounting for the actions of Federal officials, and understanding the national experience. Both the Government and the public rely on us to meet an almost unlimited range of information needs from our records. To help achieve its mission, NARA has facilities nationwide including, the National Archives Building (Archives I) in Washington, D.C., the National Archives at College Park (Archives II) building in College Park, Maryland, Presidential Libraries, Regional Record Service Facilities, and the Federal Register.

1.2 For the opening of the new National Archives at New York City facility in the Customs House in Lower Manhattan at 1 Bowling Green in April 2012, NARA will develop an exhibit program to include a 1,500 square foot temporary exhibit with brochure, a 40 square foot permanent exhibit area, modified layout of an existing exhibit component “NARA Across America” in the lobby (Attachment 3), exterior banners, and a wayfinding approach with a single unified “standard” graphic design.

1.2.1 The 1,500 square foot temporary exhibit of facsimiles will highlight New York documents with an accompanying brochure.

1.2.2 The 40 square foot permanent exhibit area within the Educational space on the third floor will display original documents.

1.2.3 An existing exhibit component from the Washington, DC Public Vaults exhibit titled “NARA Across America” will be displayed in or adjacent to the lobby.

1.2.4 External banners will announce the opening of the National Archives at New York City and the opening exhibit.

1.2.5 In addition, the wayfinding approach will address the entry, rotunda floor lobby, and the third floor location of the National Archives. A standard design motif for wayfinding will use the branding logo for the National Archives at New York City.

1.3 The NARA project manager and curator for the exhibit will be from the Washington, DC, exhibits office, working with a team from the National Archives at New York to determine exhibit content, including themes, selections, and text.

1.4 The purpose of this order is to procure design services for a 1,500 square foot temporary exhibit with brochure, a 40 square foot permanent exhibit area, layout/modification of an existing exhibit component, exterior banners, and a wayfinding approach with a single unified “standard” graphic design.

Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan 4.1

INTRODUCTION:

This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) has been developed to provide the Quality Assurance Evaluator / Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) an effective and systematic surveillance method for each listed service on the Performance Requirements Summary (PRS) in this order. The QASP describes a systematic method to evaluate the services the Contractor is required to furnish.

Any non-conformance with order requirements is a “defect.” A defect may be recorded for each item evaluated that failed to meet the standards as required by the subject SOW paragraph(s). Examples of defects that will be recorded include, but are not limited to:

a. Failure to perform a required task;

b. Failure to take corrective action to prevent reoccurrence of less than satisfactory performance; or

c. Performance of less than satisfactory work (quality work consists of completing the work in accordance with the appropriate SOW specifications, NARA requirements, manufacturer’s recommendations, or best industry practices).

Quality Assurance is based on the premise that the Contractor, and not the Government, is responsible for management and quality control actions to meet the terms of the order. The Government will follow guidance when performance is other than satisfactory.

Good management and use of an adequate quality control (QC) plan will allow the Contractor to operate within specified performance requirements. The COR shall be objective, fair, and consistent in evaluating Contractor performance against order requirements and standards. The main emphasis is on quality performance.

4.2

ACTUAL SURVEILLANCE:

Actual surveillance will be performed on a periodic basis or 100% as specified in the PRS in conjunction with the Statement of Work.

If satisfactory performance is not achieved, the COR will determine the possible cause of the less than satisfactory performance. The COR will initiate a Contract Discrepancy Report (CDR) for all defects that could not be re-performed and for all defects not corrected by the Contractor in a timely or satisfactory manner when requested by the Government. The COR will submit the CDR documentation recording the less than satisfactory performance and stating a recommended action to the CO including any proposed order deductions.

4.3

SURVEILLANCE METHODS:

Services shall have the results of the surveillance documented. The surveillance methods the Government will use to evaluate the Contractor’s performance for the listed tasks are 100% surveillance or periodic surveillance. Customer complaints will not solely be used to judge actual performance but will be used in conjunction with the above surveillance methods as an indicator of performance or as areas to emphasize further or future surveillance.

4.4

INFORM CONTRACT SITE-SUPERVISOR:

a. Regardless of the surveillance method, the Contractor should be kept informed of performance status. The COR will notify the Site-Supervisor of any defect(s) to be corrected. The time to re-perform and correct defects after notification will vary depending on the type of defect, the item being inspected, the level of the item (i.e., routine, urgent, or emergency), etc. The COR will inspect re-performed or corrected discrepancies. If corrected properly and timely, the defect(s) will not result in a payment deduction. However, the COR will maintain all documentation for file maintenance. Performance issues should also be an item of discussion during the weekly Contract Site-Supervisor / COR program status meetings.

b. CDR’s should be used to officially notify the Contractor of a performance problem. CDR use includes notifying the Contractor of:

(i) Non-performance or less than satisfactory performances when the Government elects not to have the Contractor re-perform the service;

(ii) Failure of the Contractor to re-perform non-performed or less than satisfactory performed services;

(iii) Non-performed or less than satisfactory services that cannot be re-performed due to the nature or the timing of the required services; and

(iv) Continuous, less than satisfactory service whether the service is re-performed or not.

c. Critical performance problems should be immediately communicated with a follow-up written CDR. The COR will complete the CDR and forward it to the COR for review and approval. The COR will sign and forward the CDR to the Contractor PM for the Contractor’s response and comments. The Contractor will have 7 calendar days (or such lesser time that the COR stipulates) to complete a response. After evaluating the Contractor’s response, the COR will forward the Contracting Officer any CDR requiring further action (order interpretation, problem resolution, reduced payments, deficiency letter notification, cure notice, etc.). The COR will provide the Contracting Officer recommended actions with supporting rationale.

4.5

REVISIONS TO QASP:

Revisions to this surveillance plan are the responsibility of NARA, the COR, and the Contracting Officer.

ATTACHMENT 5

Performance Requirements Summary 5.1 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS SUMMARY (PRS). The PRS captures key requirements of the Statement of Work (SOW) at an outcome level (performance standard) and states the performance level and method of surveillance for the requirement. The absence of any order requirement from the PRS does limit the rights or remedies of the Government under any other provisions of the order.

5.2

Method of Surveillance. The PRS provides the surveillance method(s) the Government will use to evaluate the Contractor’s performance for the listed tasks. The primary surveillance methods used will be 100% surveillance, periodic surveillance, or customer complaints.

5.3

Government Quality Assurance. The Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan, Attachment 4, describes how the Government will inspect, in conjunction with this PRS, and how the COR, other performance evaluators, the Contractor, and the Contracting Officer will communicate to ensure satisfactory performance of order requirements.
