Scope of Work-LPOE Expansion-International Falls, MN

The U.S. Federal Government plans to acquire two sets of properties, one owned by Packaging Corporation of America (a/k/a PCA), formerly Boise Cascade, which operates a paper mill, and one owned by Recreational Land Development LLC, (RLD LLC), both located in International Falls, MN, in connection with the expansion and relocation of the existing U.S. Land Port of Entry (LPOE, formerly known as a border station) in International Falls, MN. The LPOE has an address of 2 2nd Avenue, International Falls, MN 56649.

The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) requests a proposal for appraisal services to prepare two separate Appraisal Reports one for the property to be acquired from PCA, and one for the property to be acquired from RLD LLC, in conformance with the most recent (6th) edition of the Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions, i.e. The Yellow Book.

It is noted that the appraisal report of the PCA property shall include two estimates of market value, one of the fee simple interest of about 16.8 acres to be acquired in a partial acquisition, and a second value of roughly the same property, but slightly smaller at about 16.40 acres of property to be acquired in fee via a partial take plus 0.40 acres for a permanent roadway easement. These two values may be the same. The contract appraiser will decide. The RLD LLC property would be a fee acquisition of about 4.1 acres.

The PCA property to be acquired is roughly located between 2nd Avenue to the west, Highway 11 (i.e., 4th Street) to the south, and the Rainy River to the north and east. The Recreational Land parcel is adjacent to east of the PCA property to be acquired between Highway 11 and the Rainy River. The city of Fort Frances, Canada is just across the Rainy River from the PCA paper mill. The properties are further described below.

Information on the existing land port of entry, a/k/a border station in International Falls and the proposed plans for expansion will be sent to the contract appraiser.

1. The first property to be acquired and appraised, owned by PCA, and denoted in the attached parcel sketches, is a part of the whole paper mill plant property owned by PCA in International Falls, MN. The appraisal of the PCA property shall involve two scenarios and values associated with each scenario are required. In Scenario A, the part of the whole to be acquired, as per the attached Sketches is approximately 16.8 +/- acres and is located adjacent to the east and south of the existing Land Port of Entry in International Falls, MN and along the south side of the Rainy River, extending east of 2nd Avenue and north of Highway 11. The bidding appraisers are to note that on the attachments, that the portion to be acquired of PCA's property includes part of a proposed 2nd Street, east of 2nd Avenue, which is proposed to dogleg into the expanded LPOE, on PCA’s property, north of the existing 2nd Street.

Scenario B is the same as Scenario A, except the total property area to be acquired in fee is about 16.4 acres, and there is to be considered a 0.4 acre permanent easement for ingress and egress to and from the expanded land port of entry’s west side via either Highway 53 or 2nd Avenue.

The appraisers shall follow the Federal Rule for before and after valuations.

The entire property owned by PCA, in International Falls, MN according to the attached documents consists of approximately 778 acres +/- of net land area, after public right of ways and Second Street are subtracted, or about 818.25 acres gross. Also, the PCA paper mill and supporting buildings consist of approximately 1,628,090 square feet of improved building area in about 45 buildings/structures owned by PCA plus two Duty Free buildings under lease (perhaps a land lease) and a tollbooth. Please refer to attachments for land and building areas. It will be up to the appraisers to determine the size of the larger parcel, and which buildings and properties are included in the larger parcel. It is noted that an above grade approximately 4,400 foot long chipper line runs along part of the 16.8 acres to be acquired from PCA. It runs between the "vacant" land which PCA owns to the south of Highway 11, where the chips are stored, and the paper mill to the northwest of the part of the whole to be acquired. The taking of this property on which the above grade chipper line is adjacent and partial on, may result in damage to the remainder, since the wood chips transported in the chipper line are critical to the operation of the paper mill. The appraiser shall decide this as part of their appraisal.

The entire PCA property, as denoted by one of the attachments has the following land areas:

Tract Location Bldg. Imp. Acres

A N of 2nd St yes 81

B S. of 2nd, W of Hwy 332 yes 98

C NEC &SEC

L Both sides of 2nd St & Hwy no 0.25

Total 818.25

The appraiser shall decide which of these parcels constitutes the larger parcel.

2. The second property to be acquired, and for which a separate appraisal is needed for the proposed LPOE expansion in International Falls, MN is the whole property owned by Recreational Land Development LLC, as denoted as "Future Expansion Area" in the attachments. This approximately +/- 4.1acre parcel of land, located near the northeast corner of Highway 332 and Highway 11, was reportedly a former concrete batch plant, which is reportedly improved now with only the remains of a concrete foundation. The balance of the property is reported to be vacant land. It is situated on the north side of Highway 11, east of 2nd Avenue, between the Boise Cascade property to be acquired as described in the above paragraph to the west of it, and the site on which the border patrol station was developed to the east of it. The federal government proposes to acquire the whole property of this parcel owned by Recreational Land Development LLC.

These two appraisal reports, their preparation, documentation and reporting must be completed in conformance with the most recent ( 6th) edition of the Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions (i.e. the Yellow Book) inclusive of but not limited to physical inspections and pictures of all comparables, (even if you have to fly to comparable if they are located outside of Minnesota) and verifications of all comp sales and sale of the subject property, per the requirements of the Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions ( i.e. the Yellow Book).

The appraiser may be required to sign a non-disclosure agreement provided by the paper mill. Information provided by GSA may not be used, included or cited in the preparation of reports other than those being prepared for the GSA, or under any circumstances can a report prepared for GSA be used as a work sample. Access to any information provided by GSA must be restricted to individuals involved in the analysis and preparation of the report. The production appraiser shall maintain the work file, and it shall be the only work file. Continuing access to the file shall be permitted to contributing appraisers and such personnel as stipulated by the Uniform Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions and the policies and procedures of other regulatory entities. The production appraiser shall take reasonable precautions to ensure that the appraisal, the work file and any electronic media used to create, transmit or store confidential information is adequately secured. The contractor shall be responsible for protecting all information used, provided to, or gathered as a result of this appraisal, and may be required to sign an SBU, Sensitive, but Unclassified Security notice.

The appraiser(s) shall have 75 calendar days from the date they are engaged to complete both appraisal reports, the one for the property owned by PCA, with the two aforementioned scenarios and one for the property owned by Recreational Land Development LLC (RLD LLC). All plans, surveys and legal descriptions shall be sent to the winning bidder. GSA will also provide the appraiser with a contact at the PCA paper mill and at the RLD LLC property as well as, if applicable, PCA’s legal counsel and RLD LLC’s legal counsel to give ownership’s attorneys an opportunity to accompany the appraiser on an inspection of the subject properties.

It shall also be a requirement of this assignment that the owner of the appraisal firm physically inspect the two properties-- the PCA property and the RLD LLC property--being appraised.

No employee substitutions shall be made without prior written approval by the CO. No increase in contract process will be allowed when personnel substitution is authorized.

Security Requirements Contractor and any Contractor employee assigned to this order shall sign a copy of a nondisclosure statement to be provided to the CO and COR prior to beginning work. In performance of the order, the Contractor may be required to work in conjunction with other Contractors. It is the incumbent responsibility of the Contractor to execute any Non- Disclosure or other privacy agreements needed with other Contractors in order to protect its own proprietary data and interests. Contractor personnel and their subcontractors must identify themselves as Contractors or subcontractors during meetings, telephone conversations, in electronic messages, or correspondence related to the contract.

All Contractor personnel are always subject to the terms of GSA’s non-disclosure agreement.

GSA-issued identification badges must be always worn by the contractor when on GSA premises. Contractor must dress in appropriate business attire and always exhibit courteous behavior. A Government employee will be always on-site when contract personnel are working.

Security Clearance/Suitability Determinations All contract employees requiring routine unescorted access to Federally controlled facilities and/or information systems for more than six months (Regular Employees) will be required to undergo a suitability determination before a facility identification card is issued. Prior to the time that an identification card is issued, such Regular Employees will be required to comply with normal facility access control procedures, including sign-in, temporary badging, and escorted entry, as applicable.

-Failure of a Regular Employee to receive a favorable suitability determination shall be cause for removal of the employee from the work site and from other work in connection with the contract.

-Contract employees working less than six months (Temporary Employees) may, at the Government's option, be required to undergo a lesser form of suitability determination. Prior to the time that an identification card is issued, if at all, such Temporary Employees will be required to comply with normal facility access control procedures, including sign-in, temporary badging, and escorted entry, as applicable.

- All contractors are required to be given at a minimum a preliminary favorable in order to start working.

-The Government, at its sole discretion, may grant temporary suitability determinations to Regular or Temporary Employees. However, the granting of a temporary suitability determination to any such employee shall not be considered as assurance that a favorable suitability determination will follow.

-The CO or his/her designee shall provide the Contractor with required forms for obtaining necessary clearances. The Contractor shall be required to cause such forms to be returned to the Government for processing not later than 14 days following being provided by the Government.

-The Contractor shall be responsible for planning and scheduling its work in such a manner as to account for facility access issues. Difficulties encountered by the Contractor in gaining access to facilities by its employees and subcontractors shall not be an excuse to any Contractor performance under the contract.

-The award letter to the successful offeror will identify a GSA Security Sponsor for the security clearance process. Upon receipt of the letter, the awardee will immediately contact the GSA Security Sponsor for this contract and provide a Contractor security clearance point-of-contact (POC) for contractor and subcontractor employees. The Contractor POC will be responsible for ensuring timely submittal and accuracy of security clearance applications. He or she will also have the responsibility of monitoring and tracking all security clearance submissions. The GSA Security Sponsor will send additional forms and instructions regarding the security clearance process to the Contractor point-of-contact via email.

Contractor is responsible for all fingerprinting. The Contractor POC will be required to submit a list of contractor employees for whom you are seeking security clearances, including their position on the contract. Compliance with the security clearance process will be a factor assessed in the Government’s evaluation of contractor performance. Failure to submit all security clearance documents may result in the contract being terminated for default.

Process for Regular:

The automated Electronic Questionnaire for Investigations Processing (e-QIP) clearance system is used to conduct background suitability investigations of regular clearances. Before receiving access to the e-QIP database, Contractor employees must complete the Contractor Information Worksheet. Completing this form and submitting electronically will assist in the efficient processing of contract applicant e-QIP invitations.

Individual Contractor Information Worksheets (CIW) are to be electronically submitted to the GSA Security Sponsor via the Contractor POC. In addition, individual CIWs should be completed for individuals who have had a prior investigation conducted or have been a U.S.

resident for less than three years.

All forms should be sent in electronically to the appropriate GSA Security Sponsor. The email attachments must be encrypted, and the password should be sent in a separate email to help protect the personal identification information.

After the forms are found to be accurate and complete, GSA processes the e-QIP invitation. Contractor employees will then receive an email invitation to the e-QIP database.

This email will explain the process in detail.

Once the Contractor employee has completed all the e-QIP information, they are to print, sign and date the “Authorization to Release Information” and “e-QIP Investigation Request” signature forms. To do this they would follow the “Click to Sign” function in e-QIP. They also need to fill out the OF306 and GSA 3665 electronically, print, sign and date the form.

Then both forms are to be uploaded into e-QIP before releasing to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Contractor employees will then receive an email invitation to set up an appointment to go to a Managed Service Office (MSO) Credentialing Station to get fingerprinted. If the contractor is 100+ miles from an MSO Credentialing Station, they must submit in hard copy two SF87 fingerprint cards to the GSA Security Sponsor or the designated GSA Security Clearance Office for submission to OPM for adjudication.

Once OPM has completed all the necessary checks, the applicant will be notified of their preliminary status; either favorable or unfavorable. If the status is favorable, a security badge will be issued. If the status is unfavorable, a letter will be issued identifying a process for an appeal.

Security clearance submittals are due to the GSA Zone C Mailbox within 10 days of award.

Contractors shall submit a CIW V4 for every member of the team. Failure to submit required security clearance applications in a timely manner jeopardizes the successful on-time completion of the project. Failure to submit security clearance documents may result in the contract being terminated for default.

NOTICE TO PROCEED (NTP) WILL NOT BE ISSUED UNTIL THE GSA

SECURITY SPONSOR HAS OFFICIALLY NOTIFIED THE CONTRACTING

OFFICER THAT SECURITY CLEARANCES FOR PROPOSED EMPLOYEES

HAVE BEEN RECEIVED AND APPROVED BY THE OFFICE OF PERSONNEL

MANAGEMENT (OPM). PERMANENT CONTRACT STAFF WILL NOT BE

ALLOWED TO WORK IN FEDERALLY CONTROLLED SPACE PRIOR TO

OBTAINING THE APPROPRIATE BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION.

-A background criminal history check by name and date of birth from the State of Residence will be performed by GSA.

-No employee or subcontractor shall be allowed to perform any work under this contract without receiving prior clearance from GSA.

-The GSA Security Sponsor reserves the right to require the Contractor to resubmit the documents at any time. If requested by the GSA Security Sponsor, the requested forms shall be submitted to the GSA Security Sponsor within three working days of receiving such a request. If a preliminary favorable has been issued by OPM and a contractor fails to provide additional information requested by OPM for a final clearance within the specified time period the employee will be removed until such time that the documents are submitted and approved.

-The Government shall have, and exercise, full and complete control over granting, denying, withholding, and terminating clearances for any employee.

-Occupant agencies may require the Contractor and the Contractor’s employees to obtain special clearances for access to certain areas covered under this contract. The GSA Security Sponsor will inform the Contractor when such clearances are required.

GSA Criteria for Adjudication The following criteria were prepared under the guidelines of the Office of Personnel Management’s (OPM) FPM Supplement 731-1, “Determining Suitability for Federal Employment,” and guidelines from GSA’s Office of Audit Resolution and Internal Controls.

The criteria for adjudication have been approved by the GSA General Counsel. The following criteria are used by trained regional and/or National Office personnel security specialists, to determine the eligibility of prospective construction, service contract employees, and childcare providers.

As a general guideline, the criminal history background records are examined for construction, service contract employees, and childcare providers for the previous 5 years, (for contract guards the previous 10 years). However, the entire record is reviewed to ascertain if any serious offenses or incidents are noted that would disqualify. Criminal history background checks for construction, service contract employees are good for as long as they are working on a GSA contract and have not had more than a two-year break in service.

Childcare providers are conducted every five years.

All information of record, both acceptable and unacceptable, will be assessed in terms of its relevance, recentness, and seriousness, while keeping in mind that the objective is to provide fair, impartial, and equitable treatment of all employee applicants. The limited criminal history checks may reflect juvenile records, psychological referrals or information sealed by court order or statute, which would be given special consideration.

The principal factors used in the adjudication process in determining whether a person’s conduct would be expected to interfere with the ability of the applicant(s) to function in the position, or if the applicant’s past conduct was such that the safety of Federal employees and/or visitors to delegated and/or GSA-controlled facilities would be in jeopardy, are outlined below:

-Any type of misconduct or negligence in prior employment which would have an effect on the quality of security and protection provided to customer agencies or prior conduct which would interfere with or prevent a delinquency or misconduct in employment are attitude, personality, conflict insubordination, absenteeism/attendance, rules/regulation violation and pattern of unemployment based on misconduct or delinquency as reflected in employment history.

-Criminal or dishonest conduct related to the duties to be assigned to the applicant/employee and/or the performance of such duties. The following crimes are acts which could disqualify prospective or regular employees:

Abuse or neglect of a child or other dependent person entrusted to their care.

Child molestation.

Forcible or statutory rape.

Possession and sale of narcotics and/or dangerous drugs.

Arson.

Murder.

Kidnapping.

-Found to be a chronic alcoholic by any court, which suggest that the condition would prevent the applicant/employee from performing the duties of the position, or that the condition would pose a serious threat to the property and safety of others. (If an applicant can present medical certification that he or she has thoroughly recovered or completed a rehabilitation program, this will be weighted accordingly).

-Illegal use of narcotics, drugs, or other controlled substances, without evidence of rehabilitation.

-Any statutory or regulatory bar which prevents the lawful employment of the person involved in the position in question.

-Serious misconduct while in the military service which is indicative of conduct unacceptable for childcare providers and/or other contract personnel.

-In the event information is developed that a contract employee has been arrested; National Office FPS will re-evaluate until this function is transferred to the region. The regional reviewing official will re-evaluate to determine if the employee should continue to work.

Department of Homeland Security, Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Federal Protective Service (DHS, BICE, FPS) will ensure the contractor takes appropriate action, and if the employee needs to be removed, a letter of removal will be sent to a contractor.

-Financial responsibility such as pattern of non-support judgment tax lien or other default with no attempt at restitution, illegal gambling, eviction, or other irresponsibility as reflected in credit history, disregard for debts, abuse of fiduciary trust.

-Immoral conduct when a pattern of misconduct is shown by conviction records, medical treatment, public knowledge, child molestation, sexual assault, statutory rape, incest, bestiality, or convictions of or involvement in other sex related crimes.
