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.

Note 1: Manual snow removal includes the use of snow blowers, shovels, etc., and application of snow melt or sand for building entrances, steps, landing, sidewalks, plaza, and parking areas is included in the basic monthly price. DO NOT include manual snow removal in the hourly line-item prices for snow removal and hauling.

Note 2: Quote a per hour price for providing Above Standard Services that are in addition to the services specified herein as standard services. A laborer is a worker with responsibilities covered by the Department of Labor Wage Determination under the category of Laborer. Laborer work may include all miscellaneous jobs requested by the CO or their designee which will consist of, but not be limited to miscellaneous tasks not included in the base contract services.

Note 3: 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 Governmentwide 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

Note 4: These quantities are for evaluation purposes only and are based on an estimate of the Government’s anticipated need for such service.

C. DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK

C.1 Objectives and Scope This is a Performance Work Statement (PWS) for Custodial and Related Services defined under the scope of this Contract for TSA Leased Space in Midway International Airport. This PWS describes the minimum requirements of the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) and acceptable outcomes to be performed by the Custodial Contractor (known from here on as Contractor). The Contract consists of two major functional areas: Standard and Above Standard services. All, or part of, the successful offeror’s Quote Package may be incorporated into the Contract.

The Contractor shall closely monitor all aspects of the work, identify deficiencies, and implement corrective action, without reliance on Government oversight. Custodial and related services provided by the Contractor are arranged and contract administration is provided through one or more of the following entities: GSA’s Regional Office, Service Centers, Field Offices, or Local Offices. These entities represent the Facility Management organizations that have been adopted by GSA’s regional leadership.

GSA seeks to establish a partnering relationship with the Contractor to accomplish the program objectives in this Contract. The objective of the partnering process is to provide an effective problem-finding/problem-solving management team composed of personnel from all parties responsible for maintaining the quality of our facilities, thus creating a single culture with one set of goals and objectives. Partnering requires that all parties recognize and address those opportunities and challenges that shall be confronted to help maintain the health of the Contractor/GSA relationship. The relationship is based on trust, dedication to common goals, and an understanding of each other's individual expectations and values. The outcome of this initiative is for GSA to leverage Contractor expertise to assist GSA in accomplishing these goals and objectives.
