B.2 TYPE OF CONTRACT (11/2008)

This is an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract, as defined in FAR 16.504 (Indefinite- Quantity Contracts), for non-commercial items. Contract types for the individual task orders will fall under one or more of the following, depending on the type, complexity, and urgency of the task order requirement: firm-fixed-price (FFP), cost-reimbursement, labor-hour, and/or time-and-materials. If a task order will be performance-based, its requirements will be conveyed and administered at the task order level.

B.3 MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM QUANTITIES (11/2008)

Per FAR 52.216-22 "INDEFINITE QUANTITY," the minimum for this indefinite quantity contract shall be any quantity or combination of supplies and services equal to the amount(s) set forth herein:

The maximum for this indefinite quantity contract (including options) shall be any quantity or combination of supplies and services equal to $540,000,000.00 (inclusive of all direct costs, indirect costs, and profit/fees).

B.4 GENERAL PRICING INFORMATION

B.4.1 Pricing of Task Orders

Individual Task Orders will be issued as requirements occur. Task Orders will specify work to be performed and will reflect the labor rates of the proposed staff in effect when the task order is issued (in accordance with the provisions contained in Section B of the IDIQ contract and the award task order(s).

The Contractor shall perform all services in accordance with the task order SOW or PWS. The terms and conditions set forth in the IDIQ contract will always apply. All Task Orders will be fixed price, time and materials/labor hour, or cost-plus fixed fee. The period of performance of a Task Order may extend past the IDIQ contract’s expiration date for a period not to exceed five (5) years in total.

B.4.2 Labor Cost Location: On each relevant Task Order

Fixed price hourly labor rates will be identified at the IDIQ level. These rates will be provided for use in task order negotiations. Unless otherwise stated within the relevant task order, all labor costs will be provided on a FFP basis under operations line items. See Attachment 8 for labor rates.

Included in the FFP labor costs are:

• Danger Pay and Post Hazard Pay (see Section B.4.2.1)

• R&R, to include other unofficial travel (see Section B.4.2.4)

• Uniforms (see Section B.4.2.5)

B.4.2.1 Danger Pay and Post Hazard Pay Cost Location: Part of fixed price labor rate

Post Hardship Differential Pay and Danger Pay, which are forms of incentive compensation, will be generally allowable as part of their FFP labor rate. If applicable, the Contractor shall include this cost in their presented labor rates. However, Government payment of such costs is contingent on the Contractor meeting all of the following requirements:

a) Payment will be made only for areas identified as Post Hardship Differential Pay areas and/or Danger Pay areas in Section 920 of the Department of State Standardized Regulations (DSSR) and subject to the allowance rate(s) limit specified.

b) Paying Post Hardship Differential Pay and Danger Pay is part of the Contractor’s established incentive compensation plan or policy, or employer/employee agreement entered into in good faith before the services are rendered, pursuant to FAR 31.205-6(f)(1)(i) (Bonuses and Incentive Compensation).

c) When paying Post Hardship Differential Pay and Danger Pay is part of the Contractor’s established incentive compensation plan or policy, such plan or policy is followed consistently as to imply, in

SAQMMA14R0042 (A001) Page 10 of 179 effect, an agreement to make such payment, pursuant to FAR 31.205-6(f)(1)(i) (Bonuses and Incentive Compensation).

d) The Contractor's basis for paying Post Hardship Differential Pay and Danger Pay is supported, pursuant to FAR 31.205-6(f)(1)(ii) (Bonuses and Incentive Compensation).

e) Payment of such costs is otherwise consistent with FAR Part 31.

B.4.2.2 Employee Salary Benefits

The Government shall have no responsibility or liability for payment of any wages or benefits to Contractor's employees. The Government, its agencies, agents, and employees shall not be part of any legal action or obligation regarding these benefits, which may subsequently arise. Where local law requires bonuses, premium overtime rates, specific minimum wage levels, and premium pay for holidays, payments for social security, pensions, severance, sick or health benefits, childcare or any other benefit, the Contractor is responsible for these payments. The Contractor shall submit evidence of compliance with this requirement upon request by the Government. The fixed hourly labor rates shall include all such costs.

B.4.2.3 Overtime

Generally, for firm fixed price task orders, the Government will not pay additional for overtime. The below only pertains to any task orders issued as other than a fixed-price arrangement.

a) Overtime is defined as time worked in excess of the number of hours in a normal workweek.

b) “Number of hours” includes productive time hours, travel time hours, and paid time off hours

(e.g., sick, vacation, holiday).

c) “Productive time hours” consist of hours that, other than travel time hours, directly benefit the contract.

d) “Travel time hours” consist of hours spent by the employee traveling to or from authorized work locations. See Section B.4.3 for further information.

e) A normal workweek is to be negotiated under each task order.

f) Payment for overtime must be authorized in writing by the Contracting Officer or his designated representative prior to the employee performing any overtime.

g) Payment for overtime must not conflict with any Contractor uncompensated overtime policy or practice.

h) For labor-hour arrangements and the time portion of time-and-materials arrangements, any

Government payment for Contracting Officer-authorized-employee overtime will be made at the fixed fully-loaded hourly labor rates negotiated in the task order for normal workweek performance.

i) For cost-reimbursement arrangements and the materials portion of time-and-materials arrangements, any Government payment for Contractor employee overtime will be made at the actual incurred hourly labor rate that the Contractor pays the Contracting Officer-authorized employee and determined allowable by the Contracting Officer. Such payment will be based on law, regulation, and Contractor policy or practice.

j) A Contracting Officer-authorized employee is a Contractor employee who has been granted permission by the Contracting Officer to work overtime.

k) The Government generally discourages overtime, so the Contractor agrees to use its best efforts to avoid (and when applicable, control) overtime.

SAQMMA14R0042 (A001) Page 11 of 179

B.4.2.4 Rest & Relaxation (R&R) Cost Location: Part of fixed price labor rate

R&R is designed to provide employees respite from austere conditions. The Contractor is responsible for including any R&R costs (to include all travel related costs) in the fixed price labor rate. Other travel, such as emergency leave (not including MEDEVAC), shall be covered under the FFP labor rate.

B.4.2.5 Uniforms Cost Location: Part of fixed price labor rate

Should the Contractor choose to provide uniforms to its employees, all costs (to include associated costs such as repair and replacement) shall be covered within the provided hourly labor rates (see Section B.4.2 and H.8.4).

B.4.3 Travel (Cost Reimbursable) Cost Location: On each relevant Task Order

a) Travel under this contract is defined as Contractor air and ground transportation, lodging, meals and incidental expenses, travel time, and passport/visa costs.

b) Travel costs shall be allocated accordingly pursuant to Section H.23.2(j) requirements. Travel must be directly related to and be required for performance of the contract. In no event shall costs associated with employees commuting be payable as a direct cost under this contract.

c) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Contractor shall be paid its allowable travel costs in accordance with FAR 31.205-46 (Travel Costs).

d) Travel costs are authorized only for travel beyond a 50-miles’ radius of the Contractor employee’s local place of performance (official duty station) whenever work is required to be accomplished at a remote work site, unless otherwise approved by the CO/COR.

e) No travel costs (or associated labor time during travel) shall be allowable for work performed at a Contractor’s local office or any other work site within a 50-miles’ radius of the Contractor employee’s local place of performance (official duty station).

f) No travel costs (or associated labor time during travel) shall be allowable for telecommuting beyond (or within) a 50-miles’ radius of the Contractor’s local place of performance (official duty station).

g) Costs when using a privately owned vehicle (POV) for official travel are allowable provided that such costs are reasonable and do not exceed costs that would have resulted from use of other reasonable transportation methods (e.g., taxi, airplane, train). Reasonable associated costs, such as tolls and parking fees, are also generally allowable.

h) When traveling in a POV for official travel, the Contractor shall be paid mileage costs at a rate that does not exceed the POV mileage rate established by the Internal Revenue Service.

i) Costs for car rentals for official travel are allowable pursuant to the following:

1. such rentals are consistent with good business practice;

2. such costs are reasonable and do not exceed costs that would have resulted from use of other reasonable transportation methods (e.g., taxi, airplane, train); and

3. such costs do not exceed the actual cost of renting a compact automobile (maximum of one automobile for four Contractor personnel), unless extenuating circumstances (e.g., excess baggage) require other arrangements and Contracting Officer approval is obtained.

4. Reasonable associated costs, such as tolls and parking fees, are also generally allowable.

SAQMMA14R0042 (A001) Page 12 of 179

j) After task order award under a cost-reimbursement arrangement or the materials portion of a time-and-materials arrangement, travel must be authorized in advance by the Contracting Officer’s Representative or Government Technical Monitor.

k) The following items concern passports and visas:

1. The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that all U.S. personnel who will be required to travel outside the United States have a current and valid U.S. passport.

2. The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that all Third Country National (TCN) personnel required to travel shall have a current and valid passport from their country of residence.

3. The Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining any visas required for travel to foreign countries under this contract.

4. The Government will not reimburse the Contractor for travel expenses when travel is cancelled or modified as a result of the Contractor’s failure to obtain a visa.

l) Costs for travel that have been modified or cancelled are not allowable unless such modification or cancellation was caused by the Government or otherwise exceeded the control of the Contractor.

m) Pursuant to FAR 47.402, 47.403, and the Fly America Act, the Contractor shall use a U.S.-flag air carrier service unless specific conditions exist. If such conditions exist under a fixed-price arrangement (i.e., task order or line item in a task order), the Contractor shall submit with its task order proposal a memorandum explaining why it does not intend to use a U.S.-flag air carrier service. Inclusion of such costs in the awarded fixed-price is contingent upon Government acceptance of such explanation.

If such conditions exist under arrangements when payment is made based on actual costs incurred (e.g., cost-reimbursement arrangements, materials portion of time-and-materials arrangements, and progress payments based on costs under fixed-price arrangements), the Contractor shall submit with its voucher a memorandum explaining why it did not use a U.S.-flag air carrier service.

Reimbursement is contingent upon Government acceptance of such explanation.

n) The COR may also authorize emergency or irregular travel and transportation in other situations, when in his/her opinion, the circumstances warrant such action. In such cases, the Contractor employees’ travel costs shall be generally allowable.

o) Except as noted above, any costs resulting from a failure of a Contractor's employee to complete his/her assignment because of a personal reason shall not be allowable.

B.4.4 Housing (Firm Fixed Price) Cost Location: On Task Order 001

The Contractor will not be required to provide housing. The Government will provide housing for Contractor AN and TCN employees. The Contractor may be required in the future to provide secure off-compound housing for AN and TCN employees that have not been designated by the Government as critical personnel. Should this requirement be issued, a FFP rate will be negotiated.

B.4.5 DBA (Cost Reimbursable) Cost Location: On each relevant Task Order

The cost of DBA insurance is paid on a yearly basis. The period of performance of this contract may be extended beyond one (1) year. If so, the Contractor shall contact the Contracting Officer, provide the new rates, and be reimbursed by the Government for the actual, documented DBA insurance costs.

SAQMMA14R0042 (A001) Page 13 of 179

The labor operations FFP shall not include DBA Insurance. The Government will reimburse the Contractor directly for DBA Insurance that is required and obtained in accordance with Section I, DOSAR 652.228-71, "Worker's Compensation Insurance (Defense Base Act) – Services (DEVIATION)" incorporated by full text and FAR 52.228-3, "Worker's Compensation Insurance (Defense Base Act)" incorporated by reference.

After paying the DBA insurance premium, the Contractor shall include copies of the invoice from, and proof of payment to, the insurance carrier as supporting documentation with any invoice submitted to the Government requesting reimbursement for DBA insurance under this contract (Section G.3.6). The Contractor shall submit the certification to the CO before the Notice-to-Proceed (see Section F.4).

C.4.1 Standard Services

C.4.1.1 Food Services

SAQMMA14R0042 (A001) Page 21 of 179

The DOS goal is to normalize food operations, meet mission requirements, control costs, achieve accountability and provide good service to our communities. Currently (and for the near future) there are many limitations to normalization in Afghanistan. However, the approach to food operations and management should allow for change management and an evolving business plan as the situation in Afghanistan changes.

At a normal DOS site, cafeterias, snack bars and vending machines are part of a licensor-licensee agreement between the Embassy and a contractor, and it is typically a Point of Sale (POS) operation.

Embassy personnel (DOS employees and contractors) can choose to dine in a USG dining facility, go to one of the association-managed restaurants on the compound, bring in their lunch, go home to eat, or leave the Embassy compound to eat “on the economy.” The cafeteria and other food operations within those embassies are served by local contractors, local workers, and the food is purchased from the local economy.

Initially, under ALiSS, the meal operations will stay the same—an “all you can eat” buffet and service line, with food primarily sourced through DLA. As the program evolves, diners will use meal cards to pay for their meals and the food will come from local, regional and international commercial sources. As the situation in Afghanistan moves towards a more normalized existence, food operations will be more in line with other embassies and are planned to evolve toward cash payments for meals, snacks, and other food items.

The Contractor will establish and operate the cafeterias in a fixed setting provided by the Government.

The cafeteria will consist of an enclosed and environment-controlled space that is fully furnished and has Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) that is up-to-date and fully maintained along with storage areas for dry, chilled and frozen food.

The following is a list of food related services that the contractor will be required to provide (all or in part):

• Cafeteria food preparation

• Menu planning to include coordination with community menu boards

• Cafeteria and snack area janitorial services

• Food storage

• Food items (e.g. frozen, fresh, dry, canned, etc.) and consumable items (e.g. napkins, cleaning supplies, paper plates, etc) acquisition, logistics, delivery and receipt

• Special events support and catering services

• Snack bar operations

• Creation, installation, and operation of meal card system.
