Section I - Introduction

Overview

A. Agency Information:

The U.S. Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) is an independent federal agency that administers a retirement and survivor benefit pro-gram for railroad employees and their families. The RRB was established by the Railroad Retirement Acts of 1937 and 1974. Its be-nefit program was the forerunner of the more familiar social security system. The Railroad Retirement System is unique inasmuch as it is the only federally administered benefit program covering a single private industry. The RRB also administers the Railroad Unem-ployment Insurance Act which provides unemployment and sickness benefits to railroad employees. The RRB is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.

B. Purpose:

The RRB is seeking the services of a contractor to furnish and install new network controllers and a new Front End replacement for the RRB's existing Building Automation System (BAS). The RRB has determined that a Front End/Network Controller replacement of the existing Building Automation System (BAS) is required to allow connectivity with Internet Browsers not supporting the JAVA Applets. In addition to allowing browser connectivity, the security model of an updated BAS system allows for greater protection for Internet facing PC’s on the RRB building automation network. See Section III, Statement of Work, for further requirements.

C. Site Visit:

Offerors should visit the building and become familiar with existing conditions. The RRB strongly encourages offerors to make a thorough site investigation before submitting a proposal. Site visits must be completed by Wednesday, September 14, 2016 at 1:00PM CST. To schedule a site visit, please coordinate with the COR, Mr. Scott Rush, to arrange for access by email to scott.rush@rrb.gov or by phone at (312) 751-4566.

(1) Means -

(i) The primary site of the work. The physical place or places where the construction called for in the contract will remain when work on it is completed; and

(ii) The secondary site of the work, if any. Any other site where a significant portion of the building or work is constructed, provided that such site is -

(A) Located in the United States; and

(B) Established specifically for the performance of the contract or project;

(2) Except as provided in paragraph (3) of this definition, includes any fabrication plants, mobile factories, batch plants, borrow pits, job headquarters, tool yards, etc., provided -

(i) They are dedicated exclusively, or nearly so, to performance of the contract or project; and

(ii) They are adjacent or virtually adjacent to the "primary site of the work" as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(i), or the "secondary site of the work" as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this definition;

(3) Does not include permanent home offices, branch plant establishments, fabrication plants, or tool yards of a Contractor or subcon-tractor whose locations and continuance in operation are determined wholly without regard to a particular Federal contract or project.

In addition, fabrication plants, batch plants, borrow pits, job headquarters, yards, etc., of a commercial or material supplier which are established by a supplier of materials for the project before opening of bids and not on the Project site, are not included in the "site of

Document Number: RRB16Q0030 PROCESSED Page 9 of 31 the work". Such permanent, previously established facilities are not a part of the "site of the work" even if the operations for a period of time may be dedicated exclusively or nearly so, to the performance of a contract.

(b)(1) All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work will be paid unconditionally and not less often than once a week, and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any account (except such payroll deductions as are permitted by regula-tions issued by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR part 3)), the full amount of wages and bona fide fringe bene-fits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of payment computed at rates not less than those contained in the wage determination of the Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, or as may be incorporated for a secondary site of the work, re-gardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the Contractor and such laborers and mechanics.

Laborers em-ployed by the construction Contractor or construction subcontractor that are transporting portions of the building or work between the secondary site of the work and the primary site of the work shall be paid in accordance with the wage determination applicable to the primary site of the work.

(2) Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under section 1(b)(2) of the Construction Wage Rate Requirements statute on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of paragraph (e) of this clause; also, regular contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs which cover the particular weekly period, are deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such period.

(3) Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid not less than the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits in the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in the clause entitled Apprentices and Train-ees. Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classi-fication for the time actually worked therein; provided that the employer's payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in each classification in which work is performed.

(iii) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination.

(2) If the Contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known), or their representatives, and the Contracting Officer agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by the Contracting Officer to the Administrator of the:

Wage and Hour Division Employment Standards Administration U.S. Department of Labor Washington, DC 20210

The Administrator or an authorized representative will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification action within 30 days of receipt and so advise the Contracting Officer or will notify the Contracting Officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary.

(3) In the event the Contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the classification, or their representatives, and the Con-tracting Officer do not agree on the proposed classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), the Contracting Officer shall refer the questions, including the views of all interested parties and the recommendation of the Contracting Officer, to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division for determination. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a determination within 30 days of receipt and so advise the Contracting Officer or will notify the Contracting Officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary.
