2.2 Statement of Work
Subject
The Federal Bureau of Prisons, Field Acquisition Office, Grand Prairie, Texas intends to make a single award of an indefinite delivery requirements type contract with firm fixed pricing to a post-secondary institution or vocational technical school who will be responsible for providing occupational instruction of a Alcoholism and Substance Abuse program.

In 1996, the Bureau of Prisons standardized procedures to (1) select and fund new vocational/occupational training programs, (2) select and fund existing vocational/occupational training programs, and (3) update equipment for existing vocational/occupational training programs.

BOP 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 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.
• Contractors should 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.
15B21222Q00000003 Page 15 of 57
• 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.
• Practice telework regularly to ensure effectiveness.
• Make it clear that in emergency situations, employees must performance 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 Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to fill gaps as necessary. This means direct communication with the Contracting Officer or in his/her absence, the Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative, via telephone or e-mail messages acknowledging the contractor’s notification. The incumbent contractor is responsible for assisting the BOP in estimating the adverse impacts of nonperformance and to work diligently with the BOP to develop a strategy for maintaining continuity of operations.
The BOP does reserve the right in such emergency situations to use Federal employees, employees of other agencies, contracting 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 Policy issuance “Emergency Acquisitions”, dated May 2007 and Subpart 18.2, Emergency Acquisition Flexibilities, of the Federal Acquisition Regulations.

(b) The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is responsible for issuing and administering regulations that require contractors to apprise its employees of all hazards to which they may be exposed in the course of their employment; proper conditions and precautions for safe use and exposure; and related symptoms and emergency treatment in the event of exposure.
(c) Prior to commencement of work, contractors are required to inspect for and report to the contracting officer or designee the presence of, or suspected presence of, any unsafe condition including asbestos or other hazardous materials or working conditions in areas in which they will be working.
15B21222Q00000003 Page 16 of 57
(d) If during the performance of the work under this contract, the contractor or any of its employees, or subcontractor employees, discovers the existence of an unsafe condition, the contractor shall immediately notify the contracting officer, or designee, (with written notice provided not later than three (3) working days thereafter) of the existence of an unsafe condition.
Such notice shall include the contractor's recommendations for the protection and the safety of Government, contractor and subcontractor personnel and property that may be exposed to the unsafe condition.
(e) When the Government receives notice of an unsafe condition from the contractor, the parties will agree on a course of action to mitigate the effects of that condition and, if necessary, the contract will be amended. Failure to agree on a course of action will constitute a dispute under the Disputes clause of this contract.
(f) Nothing contained in this clause shall relieve the contractor or subcontractors from complying with applicable Federal, State, and local laws, codes, ordinances and regulations (including the obtaining of licenses and permits) in connection with hazardous material including but not limited to the use, disturbance, or disposal of such material.
(End of Clause)
