6.0 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS SUMMARY:

6.1 To ensure that the Government receives the services for which it contracted, the

Government will only pay for services received. The Performance Requirements Summary (PRS) determines if the Contractor meets the performance standards of the contract, as well as provides guidelines for how and when surveillance will be performed. It ensures timeliness, effectiveness and that the Contractor is delivering the results specified in the contract. Government contract quality assurance will be performed per the PRS surveillance schedule.

6.2 Performance Requirements Summary Table. These are the criteria against which the performance will be evaluated. Work shall be considered not to have been performed when any one of the following conditions exists in accordance with the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP).

Zero deviation from PWS.

100% Inspection

1 per contract

6.3 Surveillance. 100% inspections by the COR will serve as the surveillance methods.

If the COR discovers deficiencies and/or receives complaints, the COR will alert them to the contractor for correction.

6.4 Quality Control. The Contractor, not the government, is responsible for quality control actions necessary to meet the quality standards set forth by the contract. The contractor shall develop and submit a Quality Control Plan (QCP) for Government approval within ten (10) calendar days after award. Once accepted, the QCP will be incorporated into the QASP. The QASP is not a contractual instrument and may be changed at the COR’s discretion. The contractor shall use the QASP to guide and document the implementation of the required management and quality control actions to achieve the specified results. The Government reserves the right under the Contract Terms and Conditions--Commercial Items (FAR 52.212-4) to inspect and test the services called for by the Task Order, to the extent practicable at all times and places during the term of the Task Order. The Government will reject non-conforming services.

6.5 Unacceptable Performance. When performance is determined unacceptable, as defined in the Performance Requirements Summary, the COR will inform the contractor that performance is unacceptable and provide written documentation by use of the Form DD 2772, Contract Discrepancy Report. By initialing and dating the form, the contractor is only acknowledging notification of unacceptable performance.

Disputes in surveillance should be referred to the Contracting Officer.

The COR will notify the Contracting Officer of unacceptable performance. If any of the services do not conform to contract requirements, the Government may require the contractor to perform the services again in conformity with contract requirements, at no increase in contract amount. When the defect(s) in services cannot be corrected by re-performance, the Government may:

a. Require the Contractor to take necessary action to ensure future performance conforms to contract requirements.

b. Reduce the contract price to reflect the reduced value of the services performed.

c. If the Contractor fails to promptly re-perform the services, or to take the necessary action to ensure future performance in conformity with contract requirements, the Government may:

i. By contract or otherwise, perform the services and charge to the Contractor any cost incurred by the Government that is directly related to the performance of such service;

ii. Issue Cure Notice;

iii. Terminate the contract for Government convenience; and / or

iv. Terminate the contract for Cause.

6.6 Correction of Non-Performance of Work. Contractor shall employ an adequate quantity of personnel to ensure that any services found to be not in compliance and therefore not acceptable, shall be made acceptable by the performance or re-performance of the work, where such re-performance is possible, during the first business day after non-compliance has been observed by or reported to and verified by the COR.

Questions regarding security matters shall be addressed to the designated Government representative (e.g., Contracting Officer Representative (COR), Requiring Activity (RA) representative, or Contracting Officer (if a COR or other RA representative is not appointed)).

Contract personnel are critical to the overall security and safety of US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) installations, facilities and activities, and security awareness training contributes to those efforts. The Department of Defense (DoD) and Army security training requirements specified below, if applicable, are performance requirements; all applicable contract personnel shall complete initial training within 30 days of contract award or the date new contract personnel begin performance on the contract. Within five business days from the completion of training, the Contractor shall provide written documentation (e.g., email or memorandum) to the Government representative.

Contractor personnel and vehicles are subject to search when entering federal installations. Additionally, all contract personnel shall comply with Force Protection Condition (FPCON) measures, Random Antiterrorism Measures (commonly referred to as “RAMs”), and Health Protection Condition (HPCON) measures. The Contractor is responsible for meeting performance requirements during elevated FPCON and/or HPCON levels in accordance with applicable RA plans and procedures --this includes identifying mission essential and non-mission essential personnel. In addition to the changes otherwise authorized by the changes clause of this contract, should the FPCON or HPCON levels at any individual facility or installation change, the Government may implement security changes that affect contract personnel. The Contractor shall ensure all contract personnel are aware of their security responsibilities, including any site-specific requirements identified in local policies or procedures.

b. Antiterrorism (AT) Level I training: All contract personnel requiring routine access to Army installations, facilities, and controlled access areas, or requiring network access shall complete initial and annual refresher AT Level I awareness training. Online AT Level I awareness training is available at https://jko.jten.mil/ (website subject to change).

Physical security and access control requirements: All contract personnel requiring physical access to a federal installation or facility shall comply with the access control procedures of that location. Contract personnel requiring unescorted access to meet contract performance requirements on a DoD installation in the US shall be vetted by the installation/facility Provost Marshal/Directorate of Emergency Services/Security Office using the National Crime Information Center- Interstate Identification Index (commonly referred to as “NCIC-III”) and Terrorist Screening Database (commonly referred to as “TSDB”). Contract personnel shall comply with all personal identity verification requirements specified in installation/facility policies and procedures. Contract personnel who do not meet requirements for unescorted access to USACE facilities shall coordinate escorted access with the Government representative, as needed. Contract personnel who receive keys, access cards, or lock combinations that provide access to government-owned property shall comply with key and lock control procedures of the RA.

d. Suspicious Activity Reporting training (e.g. iWATCH, CorpsWatch, or See Something, Say Something): All contract personnel shall receive initial and annual refresher training from the RA representative on the local suspicious activity reporting program. This locally developed training provides contract personnel with general information on suspicious behavior, and guidance on reporting suspicious activity to the project manager, security representative or law enforcement entity.

e. Escorting in classified and/or sensitive areas: In accordance with applicable regulations, all contract personnel who do not possess the appropriate security clearance or access privileges will be escorted in areas where they may be exposed to classified information or operations, sensitive information or activities, or restricted areas.

f. Pre-screen candidates using E-Verify Program: Contractors shall comply with the requirements set forth in FAR clause 52.222-54 Employment Eligibility Verification and FAR Subpart 22.18 in using the E-Verify Program at (https://www.e-verify.gov/) (website subject to change) to meet the contract employment eligibility requirements.
