STATEMENT OF WORK/SPECIFICATIONS

Mortuary / Autopsy Services

FMC Carswell, TX

SUBJECT

The Contactor shall provide mortuary and autopsy services for the inmate population incarcerated at the Federal Medical Center (FMC), Carswell located at Naval Air Station, Joint Reserve Base, Fort Worth, Texas. The Physical location address is J Street, Bldg. 3000, Fort Worth, Texas 76127.

SCOPE OF SERVICES

Upon notification by FMC Carswell of an inmate death, the contract funeral home shall arrange for the transportation of the body from the Medical Examiner’s Office, local hospital, or institution to the contractor’s funeral home. The Contractor shall transport remains in a closed hearse or other vehicle registered within the State of Texas as a hearse used exclusively for the purpose of transporting human dead bodies or funeral equipment.

FMC Carswell will provide the contract funeral home with an authorization to release the body from the Medical Examiner’s Office signed by the next of kin.

On occasion, FMC Carswell may request an autopsy be conducted. The Contracting Officer will notify the contract funeral home that an autopsy is needed. Suitable space in the undertaking establishment shall be available for the performance of postmortem examinations when requested by the Government. All autopsies must be conducted by a licensed forensic pathologist and a copy of the final autopsy report must be submitted to FMC Carswell.

When burial is selected by the next of kin, the Contractor will embalm, dress, and provide the casket for the deceased. After the body preparation, the Contractor shall transport the body to the railway station, air terminal, or local cemetery as directed by the Contracting Officer. Cemeteries located within a 30-mile radius of the institution will be considered local cemeteries for local burial unless the Contracting Officer specifies otherwise.

In instances when the next of kin chooses cremation, the contractor will provide transportation to the crematory if different than the contract funeral home.

The Contractor shall secure or furnish all necessary papers and permits for shipment or interment. The Contractor shall provide FMC Carswell with two (2) certified copies of the death certificates.

The following specifications include the quality and character of material and service the Bureau requires. The Contractor agrees that the quality of all material and services furnished hereunder will not be inferior to these specifications unless otherwise specified and completely described in a letter accompanying the quote. All state and interstate shipment laws relating to the embalming, preparation, burial, and shipment of bodies must be fully observed and complied with, and in any case wherein the state law contains requirements more rigid than the requirements set forth herein, such laws will be controlling.

A. Preparation of Body. Complete embalming services will be performed including all standard practices to conform to the applicable state laws.

There are, in general, two different types of cases. Each body shall be embalmed according to its condition and in a manner to ensure thorough preservation of all tissues. All body orifices shall be treated and closed in accordance with state laws.

1. Normal Cases. This will be usually where death has been due to disease or other causes, and where there has been little or no mutilation or breakdown of body tissue. For such cases, preservation shall be accomplished by a thorough cavity treatment. Standard preservative solutions shall be used for the arterial injections and cavity saturation.

2. Autopsy Cases. This will be where a partial or complete autopsy has been made to an extent which will not permit a normal arterial embalming operation. Sectional embalming shall be used to thoroughly preserve the body, including organs, and the inside of the body cavity shall be treated with a hardening compound. The cranial cavity shall be filled with Plaster of Paris or other suitable material and the calvarium securely replaced. All inclusions shall be tightly sutured and treated to prevent leakage.

NOTE: The Warden of FMC Carswell may order an autopsy to be performed. In these cases the Contractor will be responsible for providing a facility suitable for having an autopsy performed. If the Warden requests an autopsy, FMC Carswell will be responsible for the associated costs. The line item will not apply if the autopsy is remanded by the State of Texas Medical Examiner.

Autopsies must be performed by a licensed pathologist. A pathologist must have a current medical degree with a board certification in forensic pathology and maintain necessary certifications and/or licenses to perform autopsies in the State of Texas.

3. A post-embalming inspection of each body shall be made by the embalmer to determine whether the preservation is uniform and complete, or whether treatment is required. If further treatment is required, it shall be given before final delivery of the body. The body must be in an acceptable state of preservation at the time of final delivery.

4. The Contractor shall restore the body to be as lifelike in appearance as possible in the individual case, including shaving face and neck, trimming hair of head, neck, and face, dressing hair properly, applying suitable cosmetics, performing derma surgery and other restorative work as may be necessary.

5. The Contractor will furnish and dress the body in all necessary clothing, including cotton undershorts and undershirts, regular length socks, manufactured burial suit of dark or conservative color. Clothing for females will include suitable undergarments, hose, and a manufactured burial dress of conservative style and color.

6. The body will be placed in the casket in such a manner as to create an appearance of rest and composure, and to assure maintenance of position during shipment or local burial.

NOTE: Photographs of the remains, just prior to shipment to its final destination, shall be provided to the Contracting Officer to ensure compliance with the terms of the contract.

B. Casket: A. standard casket, manufactured in accordance with industry standards of modern practice, shall be furnished as follows:

1. Metal, State perfection cut, 20 gauge steel shelf, light copper with no shading, lacquer finish, interior plain panel, ivory twill, no shirring, copper hardware;

OR

2. Wood, Cloth Covered, State perfection cut, exterior steel plush, interior Crushed panel ivory twill, solid shirred, silver hardware.

ALTERNATE

3. Sealed Casket Metal, 20 gauge steel shell, constructed in accordance with industry standards of commercial practice so as to form a hermetic seal which will prevent leakage or escape of odors when properly closed and sealed. This item to be furnished only when ordered, as in the case of death by a communicable disease, to meet pertinent state or interstate regulations, or in case of body decomposed or odoriferous body.

C. Outside Container: Each casket shall be furnished with one of the following types of outside containers, depending upon the type of service required.

1. In cases of shipment by air, either a commercial air shipping bag used by commercial airlines or an air shipment tray available for purchase and use by Funeral Directors shall be provided.

2. In case of shipment by rail and/or foreign shipments, the outside shipping container shall be constructed of one inch seasoned wood in accordance with best modern practices and equipped with bolted handles complying with laws governing the same.

3. In cases of local burial, rules and regulations of the cemetery in which interment is made shall govern the type of container to be furnished. Unless otherwise specified, the outside container furnished shall be constructed of one inch seasoned wood manufactured in accordance with the best modern practice. No handles will be required.

D. Shipping of Body. In the event of an inmate death, the same regulations apply as those for transportation for a release, i.e., the Bureau pays for transport to:

1. Residence of Record, or

2. Place of Trial

The Contractor is responsible for making all shipping arrangements for transportation (i.e., air travel, train, etc.). If location is such that transportation by ambulance or hearse is advantageous to the Government, the burial contract mileage rate will be the burial services contract. Accordingly, when the deceased inmate’s record of residence is outside the United States, transportation to the residence of record is appropriate. The Contractor is responsible for all related clearance for bodies that will be returned to foreign countries.

If the next of kin wants the body returned to a location other than the above-referenced locations, the next of kin is responsible for transportation from that point, or directly from the burial service contractor.

If the deceased inmate is an alien, the BOP will initiate contact with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services or the appropriate Consulate.

E. Cremation. Occasionally, the legal next of kin makes written request for cremation.

1. If requested by the Government, or due to extended time between death and receipt of all necessary legal documentation, normal arterial embalming will be performed in accordance with all standard practices. The Contractor shall conform to applicable federal, state, and local laws, and the requirement outlined above (A. Preparation Body).

2. The Contractor will be notified as soon as WRITTEN VERIFICATION has been received authorizing cremation.

3. Cremation must be carried out in a facility with by-laws and regulations approved by Texas Health and Safety Code and an air pollution control permit issued by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality ( Title 30 Texas Administrative Code § 106.494), if cremation takes place in the State of Texas.

4. A standard container shall be provided that is sealed and capable of transportation through the U.S. mail or other common carrier.

5. Shipment of remains to the next of kin will be made by either the Contractor or the crematory, and will be sent first class, certified return receipt. Reimbursement will be paid by the Government at a rate of $80.00 per mailing, unless there is a postal rate increase.

F. Local Burial. For the provision of local burial services, a cemetery located within a 30 mile radius of the FMC will be considered local. The Contractor will notify the Contracting Officer of the cemetery to be utilized for local burials within 10 days after the effective date of contract award.

When local burial services are ordered, an FMC Chaplain will view the body prior to burial, as well as conduct and supervise a brief grave-side ceremony. The Contractor shall secure all necessary papers and permits for interment and work with the Contracting Officer and FMC Chaplain to schedule an acceptable time and date for local burial.

SCHEDULE

These services are a contractual agreement. The services will be provided on an as needed basis. The Contracting Officer will notify the Contractor when services will be required. The Contractor must be available for telephone calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to include holidays. Services will not be required to take place on holidays.

PLACE OF PERFORMANCE

The place of performance will be provided by the Contractor.

METHOD OF PERFORMANCE

The service provided, being professional in nature, will be provided in the manner as considered appropriate in the local community. The services will be reviewed and verified by the designated COR.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

The Contractor must be properly licensed to perform these services in the State of Texas. The Contractor must agree that the quantity of all materials and services furnished will not be inferior to the specifications. All state and interstate shipment laws related to the embalming, preparation, burial, and shipment of the body must be fully observed and complied with, and in any case wherein state law contains requirements more rigid than the requirements set forth herein, such laws will be controlling.

SUPPLIES

All supplies will be provided by the Contractor.

INMATE MANAGEMENT

There may be an occasion where the contractor will be required to acquire the body from the institution. The Contractor awarded this contract will not be subject to frequent contact with inmates. As a contractor, you are not subject to Government supervision, except for security related matters. However, contractor performance will be closely monitored while in the institution.

INSTITUTION SECURITY

The Contractor agrees to adhere to all regulations prescribed by the institution for the safety, custody, and conduct of inmates. The Contractor will attend an orientation program prior to assuming institutional involvement. As mentioned, occasions may arise that will require the contractor to enter the institution.

RELEASE OF INFORMATION

After normal working hours and holiday, the Contracting Officer or Medical Duty Officer will provide the contractor with the inmate’s name, social security number, and location of the body. The institution staff will always be the first to notify the next of kin regarding the death of an inmate and will communicate the family’s wishes to the contractor. During normal working hours, the Contracting staff will be the only personnel authorized to notify the Contractor with the above information.

The Contractor shall not provide the news media with any information. The Contractor will be required to notify the Contracting Officer of any outside requests for information. The Contracting Officer will then submit the information to the Executive Assistant or designee.

52.24-403-70 Notice of Contractor Personnel Security Requirements (OCT 2005)

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.

. Long-Term Contractor Personnel:

2.

In order to be compliant with HSPD-12/PIV I, the following investigative requirements must be met for each new long-term 2 contractor 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;

http://www.opm.gov/employ/html/citizens.htm

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 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 Security 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 issued under these procedures will be suspended or revoked.

3. 2. Short-Term Contractor Personnel:

4.

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 requirements 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 commensurate 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 issuance. 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 twelvemonth 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 example, 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 access.

c. Due to extenuating circumstances, if a component requests unescorted access or DOJ IT system access for an intermittent contractor, 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 investigation, 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.
