2.2 Statement of Work - Welding and HVAC

STATEMENT OF WORK

AOE Funded Occupational Education Programs: Welding

Subject:

The Federal Bureau of Prisons Field Acquisition Office (FAO) intends to make a single award to a post-secondary institution, vocational training or industry-based school that will be responsible for providing instruction in welding as part of a sustainability training program.

The reasons for such delays may include but are not limited to inclement weather and institution emergencies. When the institution requires the contractor to be on site but the contractor is unable to perform because of such delays, the contractor will be paid for one (1) session. Normally, any remaining sessions for that day will be suspended, and the contractor will be free to leave and will not be paid for the remaining unperformed sessions. In the event of any instructor’s absence, the contractor shall provide replacement coverage. If the contractor fails to provide coverage, the Government may seek contractual remedy.

Supplies and Equipment:

52.218-000 CONTINUING CONTRACT PERFORMANCE DURING A PANDEMIC INFLUENZA OR OTHER NATIONAL EMERGENCY (May 2008)

During a Pandemic or other emergency we understand that our contractor workforce will experience the same high levels of absenteeism as our federal employees. Although the Excusable Delays and Termination for Default clauses used in Government contracts list epidemics and quarantine restrictions among the reasons to excuse delays in contract performance, we expect our contractors to make a reasonable effort to keep performance at an acceptable level during emergency periods.

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has provided guidance to federal managers and employees on the kinds of actions to be taken to ensure the continuity of operations during emergency periods. This guidance is also applicable to our contract workforce.

Contractors are expected to have reasonable policies in place for continuing work performance, particularly those performing mission critical services, during a pandemic influenza or other emergency situation.

The types of actions a federal contractor should reasonably take to help ensure performance are:

* Encourage employees to get inoculations or follow other preventive measures as advised by the public health service.

* Cross-train workers as backup for all positions performing critical services. This is particularly important for work such as guard services where telework is not an option.

* Implement telework to the greatest extent possible in the workgroup so systems are in place to support successful remote work in an emergency.

* Communicate expectations to all employees regarding their roles and responsibilities in relation to remote work in the event of a pandemic health crisis or other emergency.

* Establish communication processes to notify employees of activation of this plan.

* Integrate pandemic health crisis response expectations into telework agreements.

* With the employee, assess requirements for working at home (supplies and equipment needed for an extended telework period). Security concerns should be considered in making equipment choices; agencies or contractors may wish to avoid use of employees' personal computers and provide them with PCs or laptops as appropriate.

* Determine how all employees who may telework will communicate with one another and with management to accomplish work.

15BFA022Q00000068 Page 18 of 54

* Practice telework regularly to ensure effectiveness.

* Make it clear that in emergency situations, employees must perform all duties assigned by management, even if they are outside usual or customary duties.

* Identify how time and attendance will be maintained.

It is the contractor's responsibility to advise the Government Contracting Officer if they anticipate not being able to perform and to work with the Department to fill gaps as necessary. This means direct communication with the Contracting Officer or in his/her absence, another responsible person in the contracting office via telephone or email messages acknowledging the contractor's notification. The incumbent contractor is responsible for assisting the Department in estimating the adverse impacts of nonperformance and to work diligently with the Department to develop a strategy for maintaining the continuity of operations.

The Department does reserve the right in such emergency situations to use Federal employees, employees of other agencies, contract support from other existing contractors, or to enter into new contracts for critical support services. Any new contracting efforts would be acquired following the guidance in the Office of federal Procurement Policy issuance "Emergency Acquisitions", May, 2007 and Subpart 18.2. Emergency Acquisition Flexibilities, of the Federal Acquisition Regulations.
