GSAR 552.219-71 NOTICE TO OFFERORS OF SUBCONTRACTING PLAN REQUIREMENTS (JUNE 2005) The General

Services Administration (GSA) is committed to assuring that maximum practicable opportunity is provided to small, HUBZone small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran owned small business concerns to participate in the performance of this contract consistent with its efficient performance. GSA expects any subcontracting plan submitted pursuant to

FAR 52.219-9, Small Business Subcontracting Plan, to reflect this commitment. Consequently, an offeror, other than a small business concern, before being awarded a contract exceeding $650,000 ($1,500,000 for construction), must demonstrate that its subcontracting plan represents a creative and innovative program for involving small, HUBZone small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran owned small business concerns as subcontractors in the performance of this contract.

Offerors should familiarize themselves with the requirements for using and reporting on the use of such materials in performance under any resultant contract.

FAR 23.7 requires consideration of environmental factors when purchasing products and services. FAR

In support of this requirement, GSA requires bidders/offerors to exercise reasonable care when handling documents relating to building draw-ings/plans, security equipment, security equipment installations, and contract guard service, to include:

1) Limiting reproduction and/or dissemination of covered materials only to persons/parties related to this acquisition or otherwise authorized to receive such information.

Work schedule, frequencies, resources utilized, and methods of performance are to be determined by offerors.

GSAR 552.219-72 PREPARATION, SUBMISSION, AND NEGOTIATION OF SUBCONTRACTING

PLANS (OCTOBER 2016)

(a) When submitting a subcontracting plan in accordance with FAR 52.219-9, the offeror shall submit a subcontracting plan with its initial offer. The subcontracting plan will be negotiated concurrently with price and any required technical and management proposals unless the offeror submits a previously approved commercial plan.

(b) Maximum practicable utilization of small, HUBZone small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran owned small business concerns as subcontractors is a mat-ter of national interest with both social and economic benefits. The General Services Administration (GSA) expects that an offeror’s subcontracting plan will reflect a commitment to assuring that small, HUB- Zone small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran owned small business concerns are provided the maximum practicable opportunity, consistent with efficient con-tract performance, to participate as subcontractors in the performance of the resulting contract. An offeror submitting a commercial plan can reflect this commitment through subcontracting opportunities it provides that relate to the offeror’s production generally, i.e., for both its commercial and Government business.

(c) GSA believes that this potential contract provides significant opportunities for the use of small, HUBZone small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran owned small business concerns as subcontractors. Consequently, in addressing the eleven elements de-scribed at FAR 52.219-9(d) of the clauses in this contract entitled Small Business Subcontracting Plan, the offeror shall:

(1) Demonstrate that its subcontracting plan represents a creative and innovative program for involv-ing small, HUBZone small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran owned small business concerns in performing the contract.

(2) Include a description of the offeror’s subcontracting strategies used in any previous contracts, significant achievements, and how this plan will build upon those earlier achievements.

(3) Demonstrate through its plan that it understands the small business subcontracting program’s objectives and GSA’s expectations, and it is committed to taking those actions necessary to meet these goals or objectives.

(d) In determining the acceptability of any subcontracting plan, the Contracting Officer will take each of the following actions:

(1) Review the plan to verify that the offeror demonstrates an understanding of the small business subcontracting program’s objectives and GSA’s expectations with respect to the program and has in-cluded all the information, goals, and assurances required by FAR 52.219-9.

(2) Consider previous goals and achievements of contractors in the same industry.

(3) Consider information and potential sources obtained from agencies administering national and local preference programs and other advocacy groups in evaluating whether the goals stated in the plan adequately reflect the anticipated potential for subcontracting to small, HUBZone small, small disadvan-taged, women-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran owned small business concerns.

(4) Review the offeror’s description of its strategies, historical performance, and significant achieve-ments in placing subcontracts for the same or similar products or services with small, HUBZone small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran owned small business concerns. The offeror’s description can apply to commercial as well as previous Government contracts.

(e) Failure to submit an acceptable subcontracting plan and/or correct deficiencies in a plan within the time specified by the Contracting Officer shall make the offeror ineligible for award.

(End of provision)

Item 2 Additional Service hourly rate Applies to all locations

All the contractor’s labor hour prices must include expenses for overhead, General and Administrative (G&A) and profit. Thus no separate allowance for travel time, parking, overhead, G&A or profit will be applied when hourly services are ordered.

Offeror must submit offers for all locations in order to be considered for award Offerors should visit the building and become familiar with existing conditions; examine all contract documents relating to this work, and carefully review the requirements contained in this specification.

Offerors shall determine any conditions which affect the work and make a thorough site investigation before submitting an offer. No allowances will be made for failure of an offeror to avail themselves of such information.

Note 1. Offerors are cautioned not to confuse overtime services with additional services. Additional services are defined as any work requested by the Government that is within the scope of this contract but in addition to the contract requirements. Overtime services are defined as work within the scope of the contract originally intended to be performed during normal working hours, where the Government requests the work be performed outside of normal working hours to expedite the return of a piece of equipment to operating condition or to minimize disruption to tenants.

Note 2. Quote a price per hour for providing Above Standard Services when ordered that are in addition to the services specified herein for the standard services. Orders for above standard service may be placed orally when the amount of the order totals $2,500.00 or less or in the event of an emergency. All orders which exceed $2,500.00 must be placed or confirmed by issuance of a GSA Form 300, Order for Supplies or Services and will be paid by GSA Finance. The GSA Form 300 will describe the service to be provided and will establish, excluding emergencies as determined by the Contracting Officer (CO) or the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), the maximum number of hours for which the contractor will be compensated. Orders of $2,500.00 or less may be processed using the Government wide commercial purchase card, which is the preferred method to purchase and to pay for micro purchases. Individual orders for above standard services involving more than forty (40) hours will only be issued with the assent of the contractor. This above standard services provision is intended to be used to satisfy the Government's short term non-recurring needs for service. Should a continuing need for additional service arise, a contract modification will be negotiated pursuant to the "Changes Fixed Price" clause. Above standard services cannot be accomplished by diverting resources from work that is supposed to be accomplished.

SECTION C - DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATION/STATEMENT OF WORK

Introduction This is a Performance Based Contract which focuses on outcomes as opposed to prescriptive requirements. This specification represents GSA's performance objectives and minimum levels of service to be provided by the contractor. A high level of effective communication between the Government and contractor is essential. This performance based requirement demands a greater emphasis by the contractor on self-evaluation, robust quality control processes and strict oversight of building operations to ensure the highest level of efficiency. The Contractor will be required to maintain a quality control program to ensure that the requirements of this contract are met. The contractor must closely monitor all aspects of the work, identify deficiencies and implement corrective action, without reliance on Government oversight.

C.1. SCOPE OF WORK

C.1.1 The Contractor shall provide all management, administrative, supervision, labor, transportation, materials, supplies, repair parts, tools, necessary, and shall plan, schedule, coordinate and assure effective completion of all work and services and performance of Metal refurbishment and related services described herein.
