Section E - Inspection and Acceptance
52.246-4 Inspection of Services - Fixed-Price (Aug 1996)
(a) Definition. "Services," as used in this clause, includes services performed, workmanship, and material furnished or utilized in the performance of services.
(b) The Contractor shall provide and maintain an inspection system acceptable to the Government covering the services under this contract. Complete records of all inspection work performed by the Contractor shall be maintained and made available to the Govern-ment during contract performance and for as long afterwards as the contract requires.
(c) The Government has the right to inspect and test all services called for by the contract, to the extent practicable at all times and places during the term of the contract. The Government shall perform inspections and tests in a manner that will not unduly delay the work.
(d) If the Government performs inspections or tests on the premises of the Contractor or a subcontractor, the Contractor shall furnish, and shall require subcontractors to furnish, at no increase in contract price, all reasonable facilities and assistance for the safe and con-venient performance of these duties.
(e) If any of the services do not conform with contract requirements, the Government may require the Contractor to perform the ser-vices again in conformity with contract requirements, at no increase in contract amount. When the defects in services cannot be cor-rected by reperformance, the Government may--
(1) Require the Contractor to take necessary action to ensure that future performance conforms to contract requirements; and
(2) Reduce the contract price to reflect the reduced value of the services performed.
(f) If the Contractor fails to promptly perform the services again or to take the necessary action to ensure future performance in con-formity with contract requirements, the Government may--
(1) 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; or
(2) Terminate the contract for default.
(End of clause)
E.2 QUALITY CONTROL AND QUALITY ASSURANCE
Evaluation techniques for quality assurance of contractor performance and contractor quality control are addressed in Section J.
The Government’s Quality Assurance Plan (QAP) is based on the premise the contractor, and not the Government, is responsible for management and quality control actions to meet the terms of the contract. The QAP procedures recognize the contractor is not a per-fect manager, and unforeseen and uncontrollable problems may occur. Effective management and use of an efficient Quality Control Program will allow the contractor to operate within acceptable performance levels.
In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 52.246-4, Inspection of Services--Fixed-Price, each phase of the services rendered under this contract is subject to the Government’s inspection both during the contractor's operations and after completion of the tasks.
When the contractor is advised of any unsatisfactory condition(s), the contractor shall submit a written report to the Contracting Of-ficer (CO) addressing corrective/preventive actions taken. The Government’s QAP is not a substitute for quality control by the con-tractor.
The Government may check the contractor's performance and document any noncompliance. However, only the CO may take formal action against the contractor for unsatisfactory performance.
In accordance with the Inspection of Services--Fixed-Price clause, the Government may reduce the contractor’s invoice or otherwise
RFP-PCC-0026 Page 9 of 52 withhold payment for any individual item of nonconformance observed. The Government may apply various inspection and extrapol-ation techniques (i.e., 100% surveillance, random sampling, planned sampling, unscheduled inspections, etc.) to determine the quality of services and the total payment due.
E.3 CONTRACTOR'S FAILURE TO PERFORM REQUIRED SERVICES
The rights of the Government and remedies described in this section are in addition to all other rights and remedies set forth in this so-licitation. Specifically, the Government reserves its rights under the Inspection of Services and Termination clauses. Any reduction in the contractor's invoice shall reflect the contract's reduced value resulting from the contractor's failure to perform required services.
The contractor shall not be relieved of full performance of the services hereunder and may be terminated for default based upon inad-equate performance of services, even if a reduction was previously taken for any inadequate performance.
E.4 INSPECTION BY REGULATORY AGENCIES
Work described within the contract is subject to inspection by other regulatory agencies. The contractor shall respond to all requests for information and inspection or review findings by regulatory agencies. The results of all such inspections shall be provided to the
CO.
E.5 PERFORMANCE EVALUATION MEETINGS
The contractor's representatives shall meet with the CO, Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) on a regular basis as determined necessary by the CO. These meetings will provide a management level review and assessment of contractor performance, a discussion and resolution of problems and, if applicable, a draft of the contractor's proposed invoice. A mutual effort will be made to resolve all problems identified. The contractor is responsible for the preparation of the meeting minutes. The written meeting minutes shall be signed by the contractor's representative and the Government’s representative within a reasonable time frame as determined by the CO/COR. Within five calendar days of receipt of the signed minutes, the contractor shall respond in writing to the CO concerning any areas of disagreement.

(b) If the Government terminates this contract in whole or in part under the Default-Fixed-Price Supply and Service clause, the Con-tractor is liable for liquidated damages accruing until the Government reasonably obtains delivery or performance of similar supplies or services. These liquidated damages are in addition to excess costs of repurchase under the Termination clause.

F.1 Performance
For the purpose of this solicitation, the term “contract award” is defined as the date the SF-33 is signed by the Contracting Officer
(CO).
Contract performance shall begin when the Contracting Officer (CO) issues the Notice to Proceed (NTP).

The Bureau reserves the right to issue the NTP 150 days after the date of contract award.

Compliance with Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 (HSPD-12) and Federal Information Processing Standard Publication 201 (FIPS 201) 1 entitled "Personal Identification Verification (PIV) for Federal Employees and Contractors," Phase I.
1. Long-Term Contractor Personnel:
In order to be compliant with HSPD-12/PIV I, the following investigative requirements must be met for each new long-term 2 con-tractor employee whose background investigation (BI) process begins on or after October 27, 2005:
a. Contractor Personnel must present two forms of identification in original form prior to badge issuance (acceptable documents are listed in Form I-9, OMB No. 1615-0047, "Employment Eligibility Verification," and at least one document must be a valid State or Federal government-issued picture ID);
b. Contractor Personnel must appear in person at least once before a DOJ official who is responsible for checking the identification documents. This identity proofing must be completed sometime during the clearance process but prior to badge issuance and must be documented by the DOJ official;
c. Contractor Personnel must undergo a BI commensurate with the designated risk level associated with the duties of each position.
Outlined below are the minimum BI requirements for each risk level:
• High Risk - Background Investigation (5 year scope)
• Moderate Risk - Limited Background Investigation (LBI) or Minimum Background Investigation (MBI)
• Low Risk - National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI) investigation
d. The pre-appointment BI waiver requirements for all position sensitivity levels are a:
1) Favorable review of the security questionnaire form;
2) Favorable fingerprint results;
3) Favorable credit report, if required;3
4) Waiver request memorandum, including both the Office of Personnel Management schedule date and position sensitivity/risk level;
and
5) Favorable review of the National Agency Check (NAC) 4 portion of the applicable BI that is determined by position sensitivity/risk
RFP-PCC-0026 Page 19 of 52 level.
A badge may be issued following approval of the above waiver requirements.
If the NAC is not received within five days of OPM's scheduling date, the badge can be issued based on a favorable review of the Se-curity Questionnaire and the Federal Bureau of Investigation Criminal History Check (i.e., fingerprint check results).
e. Badge re-validation will occur once the investigation is completed and favorably adjudicated. If the BI results so justify, badges is-sued under these procedures will be suspended or revoked.
2. Short-Term Contractor Personnel:
It is the policy of the DOJ that short-term contractors having access to DOJ information systems and/or DOJ facilities or space for six months or fewer are subject to the identity proofing requirements listed in items 1a. and 1b. above. The pre-appointment waiver re-quirements for short-term contractors are:
a. Favorable review of the security questionnaire form;
b. Favorable fingerprint results;
c. Favorable credit report, if required;5 and
d. Waiver request memorandum indicating both the position sensitivity/risk level and the duration of the appointment. The commen-surate BI does not need to be initiated.
A badge may be issued following approval of the above waiver requirements and the badge will expire six months from the date of is-suance. This process can only be used once for a short-term contractor in a twelve month period. This will ensure that any consecutive short-term appointments are subject to the full PIV-I identity proofing process.
For example, if a contractor employee requires daily access for a three or four-week period, this contractor would be cleared according to the above short-term requirements. However, if a second request is submitted for the same contractor employee within a twelve-month period for the purpose of extending the initial contract or for employment under a totally different contract for another three or four-week period, this contractor would now be considered "long-term" and must be cleared according to the long-term requirements as stated in this interim policy.
3. Intermittent Contractors:
An exception to the above-mentioned short-term requirements would be intermittent contractors.
a. For purposes of this policy, "intermittent" is defined as those contractor employees needing access to DOJ information systems and/ or DOJ facilities or space for a maximum of one day per week, regardless of the duration of the required intermittent access. For ex-ample, the water delivery contractor that delivers water one time each week and is working on a one-year contract.
b. Contractors requiring intermittent access should follow the Department's escort policy. Please reference the August 11, 2004, and January 29, 2001, Department Security Officer policy memoranda that conveys the requirements for contractor facility escorted ac-cess.
c. Due to extenuating circumstances, if a component requests unescorted access or DOJ IT system access for an intermittent contract-or, the same pre-employment background investigation waiver requirements that apply to short-term contractors are required.
d. If an intermittent contractor is approved for unescorted access, the contractor will only be issued a daily badge. The daily badge will be issued upon entrance into a DOJ facility or space and must be returned upon exiting the same facility or space.
e. If an intermittent contractor is approved for unescorted access, the approval will not exceed one year. If the intermittent contractor requires unescorted access beyond one year, the contractor will need to be re-approved each year.
4. An individual transferring from another department or agency shall not be re-adjudicated provided the individual has a current (within the last five years), favorably adjudicated BI meeting HSPD-12 and DOJ's BI requirements.
5. The DOJ's current escorted contractor policy remains unchanged by this acquisition notice.
Notes:
1. FIPS 201 is available at: www.csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips201/FIPS-201-022505.pdf
2. Under HSPD-12, long-term contractors are contractors having access to DOJ information systems and/or DOJ facilities or space for six months or longer. The PIV-I identity proofing process, including initiation and adjudication of the required background investiga-tion, is required for all new long-term contractors regardless of whether it is the current practice to issue a badge. The second phase of HSPD-12 implementation (PIV-II) requires badge issuance to all affected long-term contractors.
3. For contractors in position sensitivity/risk levels above level 1, a favorable review of a credit check is required as part of the pre-appointment waiver package.
4. In order to avoid a delay in the hiring process, components should request an Advance NAC Report when initiating investigations to OPM. Per OPM ' s instructions, to obtain an Advance NAC Report, a Code " 3" must be placed in block " B " of the " Agency Use Only " section of the investigative form. This report is available for all case types.
5.For contractors in position sensitivity/risk levels above level 1, a favorable review of a credit check is required as part of the pre-appointment waiver package.
