BLANKET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Between DLA Disposition Services

And

(Company Name)

1. GENERAL

A Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) is established between the above parties, with the terms and conditions as set forth herein. In general, the purpose of this BPA is to cover the necessary Performance Work Statement (PWS) and other pertinent contract terms related to the removal, transportation, and recycling/disposal of tires from various military installations in the Continental United States (CONUS), with the BPA award by region as per the Bid Schedule, and with the specific sites and states to be covered on actual orders under the BPA (see https://www.dla.mil/DispositionServices/Contact/FindLocation.aspx for the Disposal Region Locations). The contractor understands that this agreement in and of itself is not a contract to provide the actual services; rather, it establishes a bilateral agreement to the terms and conditions that apply to any orders issued under this BPA. DLA Disposition Services intends to maintain up to four individually priced BPAs by CONUS region with their respective awarded firms providing the necessary tire recycling/disposal services in the CONUS region. Contractors holding one or more of these BPAs are required to perform all orders during the full duration of the BPA (base and all options, subject to their exercise). Contractors agree by entering this BPA that the BPA itself is not a commitment by the Government to purchase these services from the contractor. The actual Government obligation to purchase the services, and the Contractor’s actual obligation to perform the specific services, is only established via funded task orders issued under this BPA, and strictly through call orders under those task orders https://www.dla.mil/DispositionServices/Contact/FindLocation.aspx

2. BPA Terms and Conditions

(1) Description of agreement. The contractor shall furnish the services and be paid in accordance with the terms herein, if they are awarded a task order by the contracting officer through the ordering process in Section 5, Ordering Procedures, and are requested to make removals in accordance with the task order and PWS during the period of this BPA, which is 5 years (60 months) from the Contracting Officer signature date, subject to annual options being exercised. The BPA will be reviewed at least annually by the Contracting Officer to assess contractor performance on any/all orders placed with the contractor, to determine if the agreement remains in the best interest of the Government.

(2) Extent of obligation. The Government is obligated only to the extent of authorized purchases actually made under this BPA via task orders and subsequent call orders within those task orders. Therefore, there are no funds obligated via execution of this BPA in and of itself. The parties agree that estimated weights on the task orders are strictly estimates, and the only Government obligation is via call orders for specific removals, with the minimum weight of those call orders as per the BPA’s Order Limitations clause, FAR 52.216-19 (10,000 lbs. per call order, with all sites on the call order applied cumulatively toward the minimum weight).

(3) Purchase limitation. See FAR 52.216-19 Order Limitations in the clauses section for call order weight limitations.

(4) Individuals authorized to purchase under the BPA. Only warranted Contracting Officer’s with DLA Disposition Services may order services under this BPA, unless otherwise modified.

(5) Ordering procedure. Orders issued under awarded BPAs will include the following:

4 | P a g e

a. Bid Schedule with estimated weights and period of performance.

b. Pickup sites with complete addresses and Government Points of Contact (POCs). Note additional Receipt in Place (RIP) locations in and around the BPA’s regionally identified sites may require scrap tire removals, with “in and around” defined as up to 300 miles via standard commercial transportation routes from servicing DLA Disposition Services sites.

c. Removal timeframe standard of 10 calendar days from call order issuance.

d. Government scale availability at the pickup sites.

e. The Department of Labor Wage Determination(s) applicable to the location(s) covered under the order (See the Clauses Section), and/or the full text of clause 52.222-41, Service Contract Act of 1965 as applicable.

Note the order terms may include any additional special qualifications necessary to perform the tire disposal service in a specific state(s) and by entering into a BPA(s) for a designated region(s), the contractor agrees to abide by all state and local requirements within that region(s).

(6) Delivery of services. Delivery of services is in accordance with the PWS contained herein, with the above standard of 10 calendar days from call order issuance applicable unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties via bilateral modification (BPA or specific orders, as applicable).

(7) Invoices. Invoices under any orders issued under this BPA are covered in the clauses section.

(8) BPA cancellation. The Contracting Officer can exercise the unilateral authority of the Government to cancel, or to not renew any BPA, or individual order, without the necessity to show cause. The Contracting Officer may cancel any individual BPA at

5 | P a g e any time by providing at least 30-calendar days written notice to the contractor. The contractor, with the written consent of the Contracting Officer, may cancel their individual BPA upon at least 30-calendar days written notice to the Government.

Cancellation of the BPA agreement does not constitute termination of any active task order issued prior to the cancellation notice.

16. WEIGHING OF PROPERTY The empty conveyance will be weighed prior to and after loading. The difference between the weight of the empty conveyance and the loaded conveyance will be the agreed upon weight for payment purposes. An authorized Government representative will witness the weighing at Government Scales and

12 | P a g e will be documented on DLA Form 1367. The locations of Government Scales will be identified on the BPA or order’s pick-up location listing.

The weight, agreed upon by both the Contractor and the Government representative at the time of removal, will be the basis for payment to the Contractor. Unsubstantiated charges for subsequent increases in weight, e.g. potential weather related increases, after removal from Government custody, will be the responsibility of the Contractor.

For removals where Government scales are not available or inoperable, the use of commercial scales is authorized.

The contractor will arrange for and incur all expenses weighing property at the nearest certified public scale. A copy of the weight tickets for the weight prior to loading will be presented to the COR or POC overseeing the removal. A weight ticket after loading will be provided to the servicing DLA Dispositions Site within 48 hours of removal. Weighing will be witnessed by the contractor/authorized representative and authorized Government official and documents on DLA Form 1367.

The method used to weigh the conveyance will be whichever is most accurate and agreed upon by the

Contractor and the COR.

-Actual weight using Government scales (preferred method).

-Actual weight using commercial scales, if Government scales are not available.

For either actual weight method, the conveyance will be weighed both before and after loading.

20. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE The effective start date is as specified on the order, or the date of award of the order, whichever is later. Task orders may be written for a period of up to 12 months from the effective date of order award.

21. CALL ORDERS

a. The KO may issue funded task orders for extended periods of time that the Government may place orders orally or in writing against. The Order Limitations clause FAR 52.216-19 applies to each call order (10,000 lbs. per removal, cumulatively applied to the sites on the call order). Only the KO and designated COR/POC may authorize work under these orders. At the beginning of the contract, and as needed, the contractor will designate who the call orders shall be issued to. The contractor may invoice against the funded task order as work is required/completed throughout the contract period. Under these types of task orders, the contractor will perform work when specifically requested by the KO or COR/POC.

b. When call orders are placed against the funded task order, an estimated quantity of tires to be removed will be identified on the call order. The contractor shall not exceed the call order quantity without prior written notification to and approval of the COR/POC or KO. In no case may the total pounds be exceeded under the funded task order without prior notification to and approval of the KO, to include an order modification with increased funding as needed. After performance of the call order, the contractor shall submit the actual quantity picked up under the call order to the COR/POC and the KO. The amount of funds available under the funded task order will decrease by the amount spent on the call orders at the conclusion of the task order period.

22. DLA Disposition Sales and/or Greening Programs

By entering this agreement, the parties mutually understand and acknowledge that this mechanism for recycling/disposal of scrap tires and related items is the last available means DLA Disposition Services has to meet the need at the lowest possible cost to the U.S. Taxpayer. Sales efforts and potential no-cost outlets like the Greening

Program (which may or may not be in place during the life of these BPAs) receive a higher priority in disposition process. Note also that sales efforts may include separate transportation of scrap tires to successful sales locations to avoid U.S. Taxpayer funded recycling/disposal. As such, the quality and quantity of scrap tires a contractor receives under a given task order could be impacted by the success of the higher priority disposition methods. Accordingly, the only Government obligation is via actual call orders under the task orders, which will specify the weights and locations of tire items requiring service.

23. TITLE PASSAGE Title to property processed hereunder shall vest in the contractor as and when removal of property is affected and DLA Form 1367 has been witnessed and signed by purchaser and authorized Government representative.

24. ANTICIPATED REGULATORY CHANGES

14 | P a g e

Performance under any contract resulting from this solicitation must be in compliance with all local, state, and federal laws and regulations. Accordingly, it is the responsibility of the offeror to ensure that all such laws and regulations are considered in the preparation of its proposal. Such consideration should include not only relevant laws and regulations currently in effect, but also revisions thereto for which public notice has been given that may reasonably be anticipated to be effective during the life of the contract.

15 | P a g e

Reserved as of the time of solicitation for this action.

28.0 DLA DISPOSITION SERVICES ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (EMS)

DLA Disposition Services implemented EMS in accordance with ISO 14001:2004(E), DOD and DLA requirements at all DLA Disposition Services appropriate facilities. An EMS is an overall management system that includes organizational structure, planning activities, responsibilities, practices, procedures, processes and resources for developing, implementing, achieving, reviewing and maintaining the environmental policy of an organization. The DLA Disposition Services EMS is designed to ensure that all personnel, including contract personnel, whose work activities can cause real or potential significant environmental impact, are aware of how their work supports the EMS and are competent to perform their roles, responsibilities and authorities while supporting the DLA Disposition Services mission. The DLA Disposition Services EMS program is explained in DRMS-I 6050.2, Environmental Management System (EMS) Core Instruction. Site supplements detail information required by EMS at a local level such as local, state and host environmental regulations as well as local emergency procedures and operating procedures unique to the location. Site supplements also contain information concerning the local interaction between the DLA Disposition Services tenant appropriate facility and the DOD/DLA host facility EMS program. Contractors and their personnel are required to be aware that each DLA Disposition Services appropriate facility has an EMS and to be aware of EMS policies to perform work and/or gain access to an installation. Each DLA Disposition Services appropriate facility maintains EMS awareness posters that identify the DLA Disposition Services Environmental Management Representative (EMR) and Host facility EMR for specific guidance concerning an individual facilities’ EMS program. Contractors may request current copies of EMS information identified in this paragraph by sending an e-mail request to DRMSEMR@dla.mil.

29. ACCEPTABLE PERFORMANCE LEVELS (APLs)

Acceptable Performance Levels (APLs) are the minimum performance levels of specific requirements which the contractor must achieve or risk having the Government consider performance unsatisfactory, resulting in possible monetary consideration from the contractor. While the specification of an acceptable performance level does not allow the contractor to knowingly provide defective service it recognizes that it may occur unintentionally. As long as performance does not fall below the specified acceptable level, the Government will not deduct for poor performance. If performance falls below the specified performance level, consideration may be taken at the Government’s discretion. Consideration decisions will take into account the impact on the Government as a result of the failure to meet the performance requirement and the number of times the failure has occurred throughout the contract period.

The Government will use a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) to monitor compliance with the contract terms and conditions and identify nonconforming services. The QASP sets forth the method and manner by which the Government intends to conduct surveillance of work under the contract and is subject to unilateral change by the Government without modification to the contract. All work required by the contract is subject to surveillance whether or not specifically included in the plan.

Performance incentives for the contractor shall include, but are not necessarily limited to, favorable impact on option exercise decisions, future awards of the same requirement, and future awards of similar requirements by DRMS as well as other Government and non-Government entities that may review performance of this contract.
