Article 1 STATEMENT OF WORK Independently, and not as an agent of the government, the contractor shall be required to furnish all the necessary services, qualified personnel, management, resources, materials, and supplies, not otherwise provided by the government, as needed to perform the requirements set forth in the Statement of Work (Attachment 1) attached hereto and made a part of this contract.

Article 2 NON-PERSONAL SERVICES This contract is a “non-personal services contract” as defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 37.1. It is, therefore, understood and agreed that the Contractor and/or the Contractor’s employees: (1) shall perform the services specified herein as independent contractors, not as employees of the Government; (2) shall be responsible for their own management and administration of the work requirements and bear sole responsibility for complying with any and all technical, schedule, or financial requirements or constraints attendant to the performance of this contract; (3) shall be free from supervision or control by any Government employee with respect to the manner or method of performance of the services specified; but (4) shall, pursuant to the Government’s right and obligation to inspect, accept or reject the work, comply with such general direction of the Contracting Officer, or the duly authorized representative of the Contracting Officer, as is necessary to ensure accomplishment of the contract objectives.

Article 3 CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL a.

PERSONNEL

The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over on-site Contractor employees who shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn, shall be accountable to the Government.

The Contractor shall provide proper supervision techniques, and keep personnel informed of changes in methods or scope of operations. All work shall be performed in such a manner so that there is no interruption to, or interference with the NIH mission.

Contractor supervisors shall be available at all times when the contract work is in progress, to receive notices, reports or requests from the Contracting Officer or his/her designated representative. The on-site supervisor(s) shall remain at the building site at all times when the contract work is in progress.

The Contractor shall be responsible for maintaining satisfactory standards of employee competency, conduct, appearance and integrity and shall be responsible for taking such disciplinary action with respect to his employees as may be necessary.

Contractor personnel are subject to the same rules of conduct as Government employees. The Contractor shall take appropriate personnel action as required in the event employees become involved with civilian authorities as a result of misconduct.

All personnel employed by the Contractor shall be trained, competent, and skilled in the performance of the work to which they are assigned. The Contractor shall require all of its employees to be courteous at all times, not to use loud or profane language, and to do their work as quietly and safely as possible and in a sanitary manner.

The Project Officer may require all Contractor personnel who work at NIH installations to attend a Biosafety Awareness class or other relevant training. New contract personnel will be scheduled into the next available class after being assigned to the NIH. This class provides basic instructions in working safely at biomedical research facilities. The Contractor is responsible for ensuring that contractor staff are given the additional training required for relevant safety or environmental hazards.

Contractor personnel shall be capable of recognizing hazard notification signs, symbols, and insignia and able to read health and safety information in English.

All personnel employed by the Contractor or a subcontractor shall conform to all NIH security regulations which may be in effect during the contract period and shall be subject to those regulations.

Within two weeks, the Contractor shall apply corrective measures and demonstrate improved performance by the employee. If satisfactory improvement is not observed after this period, the Contractor may be directed by the Project Officer to immediately remove the employee from assignment to NIH contract activities and expeditiously provide a replacement employee.

The Project Officer may direct the Contractor to remove, and the Contractor shall remove, any employee performing under this contract who is deemed incompetent, careless, insubordinate, unsuitable, or otherwise objectionable and whose continued deployment to the NIH is inconsistent with the best interests of the security or mission of the NIH, or for reasons of misconduct. Contractor personnel are subject to the same rules of conduct as Government employees.

All Contractor employees, including supervisors, must wear distinctive clothing for ready identification. The clothing shall have the Contractor’s name affixed in a permanent or semi-permanent manner. Employees shall be in uniform no later than ten (10) working days from the date of entering on duty. Employees shall wear shirts and trousers, coveralls, or full sized smocks, as appropriate. Any color or color combination, with the exception of blue, may be used for uniforms. Employees shall be required to dress neatly. The Government will restrict access if employees are improperly attired.

All Contractor personnel shall be required to obtain an NIH identification badge from the NIH Parking Office, Building 31, Room B3B04, within five (5) working days from the beginning date of this contract. The ID badge shall be worn clipped or pinned to the uniform shirt during contract work hours. When Contractor personnel are terminated or leave for other reasons, security checkout procedures require that NIH ID badge and any keys or card-keys assigned to the individual be immediately returned to the Project Officer. Information regarding obtaining DHHS identification badges may be found at:

http://www.ors.od.nih.gov/ser/dpsac/badge/Pages/applying.aspx The Contractor shall provide to the Project Officer a complete list of all contract employees under this contract to include names, position title, assigned area, their individual tours of duty, and schedule of work assignments.
