The RRB’s headquarters and the RRB’s Office of the Inspector General are located in Chicago, Illinois. The RRB also has 53 field offices, nationwide.

B. Requirement: The RRB seeks to procure inbound and outbound mail and courier services between its headquarters location at 844 North Rush Street, Chicago, IL. 60611-2092 and two mail service locations as specified in Sections II., and Section III, Statement of Work (SOW) below. Questions pertaining to this solicitation must be submitted in writing and received by this office in sufficient time to allow the timely transmission of written answers by solicitation amendment.

52-222-42 Statement of Equivalent Rates for Federal Hires (May 1989)

This Statement is for Information Only:

It is not a Wage Determination

Employee Class Monetary Wage - Fringe Benefits GS-5, Messenger (Courier) $16.61

(End of clause)

52.222-43 Fair Labor Standards Act and Service Contract Act - Price Adjustment (Multiple Year and Option Contracts) (Sep 2009)

(a) This clause applies to both contracts subject to area prevailing wage determinations and contracts subject to collective bargaining agreements.

(b) The Contractor warrants that the prices in this contract do not include any allowance for any contingency to cover increased costs for which adjustment is provided under this clause.

(c) The wage determination, issued under the Service Contract Act of 1965, as amended, (41 U.S.C. 351, et seq.), by the Administrat-or, Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, current on the anniversary date of a multiple year contract or the beginning of each renewal option period, shall apply to this contract.

The new wage determination increases the minimum rate to $4.50 per hour. Even if the Contractor vol-untarily increases the rate to $4.75 per hour, the allowable price adjustment is $.40 per hour;

(2) An increased or decreased wage determination otherwise applied to the contract by operation of law; or

(3) An amendment to the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 that is enacted after award of this contract, affects the minimum wage, and becomes applicable to this contract under law.

(e) Any adjustment will be limited to increases or decreases in wages and fringe benefits as described in paragraph (d) of this clause, and the accompanying increases or decreases in social security and unemployment taxes and workers' compensation insurance, but shall not otherwise include any amount for general and administrative costs, overhead, or profit.

(f) The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer of any increase claimed under this clause within 30 days after receiving a new wage determination unless this notification period is extended in writing by the Contracting Officer.
