The purpose and scope of this indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract is to provide all plant, labor, logistics, tools, equipment, and materials for various striping roads and streets at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM), and Yakima Training Center (YTC), Washington. Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) consists of JBLM-Main, JBLM-North, JBLM-McChord Field, and YTC. As requirements develop, Task Orders will be issued based on Technical Exhibit 1 (TE-1) and the Contractor’s coefficient. Task Orders will vary in size from $2,000.00 - $750,000.00 and will be issued by the Mission and Installation Contracting Command, Mission Contracting Office (MICC-MCO) JBLM, Washington.

1.2 PERIOD OF SERVICE

The base period of service will be one (1) year from the date of contract execution. The contract will include four (4) option periods (not-to-exceed one year each) in addition to the base year. The total contract period shall not exceed five (5) years and 6 months. The option years may be exercised in accordance with the Contract Clause entitled, “Option to Extend the Term of the Contract” FAR 52.217-9. Each extension shall be evidenced by modification to this contract. The maximum value of the contract's base year plus option years is $9,000,000.00. Notwithstanding the above, the ordering period shall automatically end upon the termination of this one base-year period absent an extension. The expiration or termination of the ordering period shall not affect any order issued during the effective period of this contract.

1.3 ORDER PROCESSING PROCEDURES

When the Government requires work to be ordered under this contract, the work will be ordered on a Task Order, DD Form 1155, that will authorize and list the location and specific project of work to be performed from scope of work and unit prices from TE-1. Only work designated on the Order for Supplies or Services is authorized to be performed. Oral Task Orders may be issued. Oral orders will be confirmed in writing by issuance of a DD Form 1155 five (5) working days from the date the oral order is placed.

1.3.1 Issuance of Orders

Orders for Services will be issued by the Contracting Officer (KO) at the MICC-MCO when work is required. All orders will be emailed to the Contractor.

The PM will also coordinate, through McChord Field Airfield Manager and 627 Security Forces, a Security Free Zone waiver for work on or near the McChord Field airfield or in security sensitive areas. Allow a minimum of 35 calendar days (concurrent) to process each. The Contractor will not be allowed to start the on-site work until each waiver has been approved. The waivers will be initiated based on the Contractor's submitted Progress schedule.

b. Work in Security Free Zones may require continual escort/surveillance by Government personnel. The Contractor shall submit weekly, on Wednesday, the following week's work schedule in Security Free Zones so adequate escorts/surveillance can be arranged by

QAR.

c. The Contractor shall provide low profile barricades along the perimeter to delineate the Security Free Zone area, applicable only to paved areas. The Foreign Object Debris (FOD) barrier will suffice if a FOD barrier is required. Otherwise, the Contractor shall provide weighted, commercially produced white/orange sawhorses every 25' to include yellow flashers. A red rope shall be strung between the sawhorses.

1.4 ORDERING PROCEDURES

Ordering procedures are detailed in SECTION 00 73 00 SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS, Ordering Processing Procedures.

The Contractor shall have a representative to perform site visits, receive Requests for Proposals, provide Contractor proposals, negotiate final settlements, and bind the Contractor for negotiated work and receive Task Orders.

1.4.1 Multiple Orders

In the event of multiple Task Orders being issued, the periods of working days allowed for each Task Order will run concurrently with other Task Orders. In the case of multiple Task Orders that create conflict in priorities or completion dates, the Contractor shall notify the KO immediately of such conflicts. The KO, at his discretion, may make equitable changes in the completion dates to eliminate conflicts.

1.4.2 Coefficients

The Contractor’s coefficient shall include all Contractor costs in addition to the prepriced unit prices in the Work Item Price List at Technical Exhibit 1 (TE-1) found in Section J – List of Documents, Exhibits and Other Attachments. The coefficient is a numerical factor that represents Contractor costs (indirect and direct costs) and profit in addition to prices at TE-1. The Contractor’s coefficients must contain all Contractor cost including, but not limited to, profit; sales tax; use tax; overhead (both home office and field overhead);

temporary lodging; labor burden; bonding costs; insurance; general and administrative expenses; all traffic controls; testing; testing equipment; subcontractor mark-up; geographical location of the work, Davis-Bacon Act; mobilization/demobilization; compliance with environmental laws; permits; preparation of reports, correspondence, submittals, and documentation required by law or the contract;

protection of and/or moving Government property; engineering services; interface with Government representatives; and coordination with occupants and other Contractors. As stated above, the coefficient must include any adjustments to the prices in TE-1. The prices in TE-1 are the prices the Government has determined it will pay for the listed work items. The Government does not guarantee or warrant that the Contractor can perform the work for the listed prices. If it costs the Contractor more than the prices in TE-1 to perform the work, the Contractor must include such additional costs in its coefficients.

EXAMPLE 1: Work item “X-1” has a unit price of $2.00 ea. To perform the required work at JBLM, the Contractor’s expected unit cost to do all work included in the work item plus profit and overhead adjustment to TE-1 unit price, and everything else to be included in the Contractor’s coefficient will be $2.58 ea. The coefficient for CLIN 0001 would be 1.29 (2.58 ÷ 2.00).

EXAMPLE 2: Work item “X-1” of TE-1 has a unit price of $2.00. To perform the required work at YTC, the Contractor’s expected unit cost to do all work include in the work item plus profit, overhead, adjustment to the TE-1 unit price, any price difference because the work is at YTC instead of JBLM, and everything else to be included in the Contractor’s coefficient will be $3.20 ea. The coefficient for CLIN 0002 would be 1.60 (3.20 ÷ 2.00).

COEFFICIENT FACTORS FOR OPTION YEARS

The Government will make adjustments to the base year coefficient factors for option years in accordance with the following formula:

pl = p x f

Definitions:

pl = New Coefficient Factor p = Coefficient Factor for Initial Year of Contract f = Index Factor

The Construction Cost Index (CCI) Factor, f, will be computed according to the following equation:

f = CCI – C

CCI – B

Where: CCI-C is the Construction Cost Index for the month in which the option year is exercised for which f is computed as published by the ENR (formerly called the Engineering News Record).

CCI-B is _____. It is the base reference and is the CCI-C for beginning period of the base year. This figure will be added at date of award.

NOTE: If the ENR changes the index base year(s), the base reference used herein will be adjusted to accommodate the new CCI-C(s).

In computing f, the CCI-C may be located on the Market Trends page of the ENR current issue at the time that the option year is exercised. The CCI-B is the base reference for the month in which the basic contract is awarded.

If the CCI-C ceases to be published, the parties shall agree on substitute indices and the contract modified accordingly.

1.4.2.1 Task Order Pricing

Provisions have been made in the Bid Schedule for allowing different coefficients for differing geographical locations.

1.4.2.2 Non-Prepriced Work

Non-Prepriced work (i.e., work not priced in the TE-1) but within its scope and general intent and necessary to complete the requirements of a specific task order may be negotiated and incorporated into the task order by the Contracting Officer. Non-prepriced work shall be so noted on each task order and will not exceed 10% of the final negotiated amount. Proposed costs for non-prepriced items will be supported by three verifiable price quotes where possible.

a) 115% shall be applied to the quoted, verified and negotiated NPI costs to arrive at the total cost for any NPIs before inclusion in the total task order price.

b) To permit recurrent use, a non-prepriced line item must be incorporated by supplemental agreement into the TE-1. This may be done at any time during the contract period.

1.4.2.3 Adjustment of Compensation – Davis-Bacon Act Wages

If the Department of Labor publishes any new or amended wage decision pursuant to Section 1.5(b), Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations, the Wage Decision current on the date the Government exercises its option to extend the term of this contract shall be incorporated into the contract and the Contractor shall be obligated to pay any wage and fringe benefits increases applicable during the option period. No equitable price adjust shall be made for Davis-Bacon wage increases or decreases.

The KO or his authorized representative shall, until the expiration of three (3) years after final payment under the contract, have access to and the right to examine any directly pertinent books, documents, papers, and records of the Contractor.

1.4.2.4 State and Local Taxes

The Contractor shall provide the KO with written notice of tax assessments whenever immunity of the Government from the tax could be an issue. The notice shall be submitted in sufficient time to provide the Government a meaningful opportunity to participate in negotiations or litigation with the taxing authority concerning the applicability of the tax.

1.4.2.5 Permits and Licenses

Unless otherwise specified in this contract, the Contractor shall obtain any necessary licenses and permits, give all notices, and comply with any applicable Federal, State, County, and municipal laws, codes, and regulations in connection with this contract.

OTHER ADJUSTMENTS TO COEFFICIENTS

Coefficients shall not be adjusted for any other changes or circumstances encountered during the life of the contract.

1.2.1.4 Identification of Contractor’s Employees – RAPIDGATE® Program

a. These instructions apply for vehicle access to Joint Base Lewis-McChord (henceforth referred to as JBLM). Procedures for commercial vehicle access to JBLM are subject to change without prior notice. Current information concerning road conditions may be obtained by calling (253) 967-1733. JBLM is comprised of three different areas: JBLM-Lewis Main, JBLM-Lewis North, and JBLM- McChord Field.

b. Each employee who requires access to JBLM to perform work under any contract, at any tier, must obtain either a RapidGate® identification badge or a visitor’s pass to obtain access.

(1) A RapidGate® identification badge will only be issued to an employee, at any tier, if the employee requires access more than twice per week. A RapidGate® identification badge will only be issued to contractor employees if the contractor participates in the RapidGate® Program. The RapidGate® Program is a voluntary program. Companies must be listed on the Contractors Authorized List (CAL).

(2) Contractor employees, at any tier, who require access twice per week or less often or who do not participate in the

RapidGate® Program shall obtain a visitor’s pass at a JBLM Visitor Center or at a Commercial Vehicle Inspection Point.

The visitor’s pass can be issued for a maximum of 30 days at a time. Companies must be listed on the CAL and employees obtaining a pass must be sponsored. Only those company employees listed on the CAL may sponsor other employees.

Employees may also be sponsored by a military ID Cardholder associated with the contract.

c. The contractor shall provide information as required by the RapidGate® Program Contractor (RPC) to enable the RapidGate®

Program Contractor to conduct a criminal history background check (CHBC) on contractor employees who are to have access. The contractor is responsible for paying the RPC the fee per employee for conducting the CHBC and issuing the RapidGate® identification card. If the CHBC is not adverse, a RapidGate® identification badge will be issued by the RPC to the contractor employee. If the CHBC is adverse, the RPC is prohibited from issuing a RapidGate® identification badge to the contractor employee. If a RapidGate® identification badge is denied for any reason, the contractor employee may only enter the installation by obtaining a visitor’s pass;

however, if the contractor employee does not meet the criteria for being issued a RapidGate® identification badge, the Government may, at its sole discretion, decide not to issue a visitor’s pass to the contractor employee.

d. If an employee no longer needs an identification badge for any reason (e.g., quits his/her job or no longer performs work under the contract), the contractor shall return the identification badge to the Visitor Center within two (2) calendar days of such change. If the identification badge cannot be returned within the required time frame for any reason, the contractor shall immediately notify both the RPC and the Visitor Center verbally, followed up in writing the next work day. Email notification is authorized. An employee’s inability to obtain entrance to a Government installation because he/she does not have the required identification badge or visitor’s pass shall not excuse timely performance of the requirements of this contract. Badges are currently issued at the JBLM-Lewis Main Visitor Center. The Government may change the location at which identification badges are issued or returned, with or without advance notice to the contractor. Any such changes shall not be a basis for adjusting the contract price under any clause of this contract.

e. RapidGate® identification badges shall not be reproduced or copied by the contractor, its subcontractors, or their employees. If an employee’s identification badge is lost, stolen, or reproduced, the contractor shall verbally report the loss, theft, or reproduction to both the RPC and the Visitor Center on the day such loss, theft, or reproduction is discovered, followed by a written report of the circumstances to both the RPC and the Visitor Center within one (1) calendar day after the loss, theft, or reproduction is discovered.

f. Each contractor employee shall wear the RapidGate® identification badge while performing work under the contract. The identification badge shall be worn on the upper front of the outer garment unless precluded by OSHA regulation(s). The identification badge shall not be used for access to any Government installation except for performance of work under the contract for which it was issued.

g. The contractor shall, upon expiration or termination of the contract, collect all identification badges and turn them in to the COR.

1.2.1.5 Commercial Vehicle Access to JBLM

a. These instructions apply for commercial vehicle access JBLM. Procedures for commercial vehicle access to JBLM are subject to change without prior notice. Current information concerning road conditions may be obtained by calling (253) 967-1733.

b. The following procedures apply if the RapidGate® Program is terminated or expires.

Commercial vehicle access to JBLM will be allowed only at location with Commercial Vehicle Inspection Point listed above. The gate hours are listed in previous paragraph. Gate hours are subject to change without notice. Current information on gate hours can be obtained from the Visitor Center at 967-4794. All commercial vehicles will be inspected. A visitor pass must be obtained. The Contractor should anticipate delays in getting commercial vehicles on post. The Contractor must also allow additional time for commercial vehicles to reach their destination by driving through JBLM.

If the commercial vehicle is carrying a load of cement or hot asphalt for delivery, the driver shall notify the gate guard as soon as possible and request that the vehicle be given priority for being searched; however, the Government does not guarantee that the vehicle will be given priority.

On weekends large vehicles (needing greater than 12'-5" clearance) will require a time stamped "searched" label to gain access.

"Searched" labels will be issued at the Commercial Vehicle Inspection Point, as appropriate. Drivers needing access must inform the gate guard that their vehicle is over 12'-5" in height and that they will require access. The driver will receive a briefing on proper procedures and a "searched" label. The Contractor shall ensure that its drivers, including drivers of subcontractors at any tier, comply with the procedures as explained to them for access.

This process may be changed without prior notification, but any long-term badge issued to Contractor employees will continue to be valid until its expiration date.

1.2.1.7 Vehicle Emission

Prior to initial issuance or renewal of an existing post decal, proof of current emission compliance must be shown when the vehicle is registered with the Provost Marshal Vehicle Registration Office.

The JBLM compliance program requires any motor vehicle that operates on the installation for more than 60 days per year to show proof of Washington State emission compliance, in accordance with the Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 173-422-030.
