B. BACKGROUND

In April of 2020 the tenants at the Sam Nunn Atlanta Federal Center (SNAFC) began teleworking due to the spread COVID-19. Most tenants left abruptly leaving food and snacks in their file cabinets and drawers. The SNAFC is currently experiencing a building-wide mice infestation. Some of the infested areas include the interior of drawers, cabinets, workstation credenzas, and personal storage drawers.

Nesting of the mice has also been identified in the corridors and other areas of the building throughout the facilities floors, basements, and storage areas. GSA will require a plan of action and a schedule to inspect, clean, sanitize and eradicate this infestation throughout the facility.

The Sam Nunn Atlanta Federal Center (SNAFC) was constructed in 1997 and houses approximately 5,000

Federal employees in 1,590,208 Rentable Square Feet (RSF) of space and 2.4 million Gross Square Feet

(GSF). The facility is comprised of four buildings: the high rise with 24 floors, the midrise with 11 floors, the bridge with six floors and the Historic Rich's Building (1924 Building) with seven floors.

The contractor will be responsible for developing and following an Integrated pest management plan that will be used to manage structural and landscape pests and the toxic chemicals used for their control in order to alleviate pest problems with the least possible hazard to people, property, and the environment. An Integrated Pest Management (IPM) can be defined as: A coordinated system of technological and management practices to control pests in a safe, environmentally sound, and economical manner. It is a process for minimizing pesticide use and risk while maximizing the control of pests that affect public health, impede operations, or damage property. IPM has been mandated on

Federal property since 1996 by Section 136r-1 of Title 7, United States Code, and is cited in Title 41 of the

Code of Federal Regulations (102-74.35) as a required service for agencies subject to the authority of the

General Services Administration (GSA).

H. Childcare Integrated Pest Management

1. Children are more vulnerable to pesticide exposure because their systems are immature and must be protected. Exposure to pesticides is linked to learning and developmental disorders.

Children are more vulnerable because their metabolic, enzymatic, and immunological systems are immature. Facilities should prevent pest infestations by ensuring sanitary conditions. This can be done by eliminating pest breeding areas; filling in cracks and crevices; repairing holes in walls, floors, ceilings and water leaks; repairing water damage; and removing clutter and rubbish on the premises.

2. Pesticides must only be used if integrated pest management or (IPM) practices fail to prevent pest infestations and a serious threat remains.

3. Property Managers must ensure targeted, rather than broadcast applications of pesticides are made, beginning with the products that pose the least exposure hazard first.

4. Pesticides must never be applied when children are present. Re-entry periods must be adhered to,a minimum of 12 hours. Check local code and manufacturer’s instructions for specific time frames.

5. Re-entry periods must be adhered to (minimum of 12 hours- check local code and manufacturer’s instructions for specific time frames.

6. Care should be taken to ensure pesticide applications do not result in pesticide residues accumulating on tables, materials, and items mouthed or handled by children, or soft surfaces such as carpets, upholstered furniture, and stuffed animals.

(1) The Contractor and Contractor’s Employees shall: (i) use the confidential information only for the purposes of carrying out the work required by the contract; (ii) not disclose the information to anyone other than GSA employees without the prior written approval of the Assistant General Counsel for

Contracts and Information Law; and (iii) return to the Contracting Officer all copies of the information, and any abstracts or excerpts therefrom, upon request by the Contracting Officer, whenever the information is no longer required by the Contractor for the performance of the work required by the contract, or upon completion of the contract.

(2) The Contractor shall obtain a written agreement to honor the above limitations from each of the

Contractor’s employees who will have access to the information before the employee is allowed access.

(3) The Contractor agrees that these contract conditions concerning the use and disclosure of confidential information are included for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, both GSA and any affected business having a proprietary interest in the information.

(4) The Contractor shall not use any confidential information supplied GSA during performance hereunder to compete with any business to which the confidential information relates.

(b) The Contractor agrees to obtain the written consent of the Contracting Officer, after a written determination by the appropriate program office, prior to entering into any subcontract that will involve the disclosure of confidential business information by the Contractor to the subcontractor. The

Contractor agrees to include this clause, including this paragraph (b), in all subcontracts awarded, pursuant to this contract, that require the furnishing of confidential business information to the subcontractor.

1552.227.76- PROJECT EMPLOYEE CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT (MAY 1994)

(a) The Contractor recognizes that Contractor employees in performing this contract may have access to data, either provided by the Government or first generated during contract performance, of a sensitive nature which should not be released to the public without GSA or tenant agencies approval. Therefore, the Contractor agrees to obtain confidentiality agreements from all its employees working on requirements under this contract.

(b) Such agreements shall contain provisions which stipulate that each employee agrees that the employee will not disclose, either in whole or in part, to any entity external to GSA, the Department of

Justice, or the Contractor, any information or data (as defined in FAR Section 27.401) provided by the

Government or first generated by the Contractor under this contract, any site-specific cost information, or any enforcement strategy without first obtaining the written permission of the GSA Contracting

Officer. If a contractor, through an employee or otherwise, is subpoenaed to testify or produce documents, which could result in such disclosure, the Contractor must provide immediate advance notification to the GSA so that the GSA can authorize such disclosure or can take action to prevent such disclosure. Such agreements shall be effective for the life of the contract and for a period of five (5) years after completion of the contract.

(c) The GSA may terminate this contract for convenience, in whole or in part, if it deems such termination necessary to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of information to outside entities. If such a disclosure occurs without the written permission of the GSA Contracting Officer, the Government may terminate the contract, for default or convenience, or pursue other remedies as may be permitted by law or this contract.

(d) The Contractor further agrees to insert in any subcontract or consultant agreement placed hereunder, except for subcontracts or consultant agreements for well drilling, fence erecting, plumbing, utility hookups, security guard services, or electrical services, provisions which shall conform substantially to the language of this clause, including this paragraph, unless otherwise authorized by the

Contracting Officer.

Alternate I (JAN 2015). Contracts for other than Superfund work shall include Alternate I in this clause in lieu of paragraph (d).

(d) The Contractor agrees to insert in each subcontract or consultant agreement placed hereunder provisions which shall conform substantially to the language of this clause, including this paragraph (d), unless otherwise authorized by the Contracting Officer. (End of clause)
