Any square footage, or other measurement provided, may be an approximation. It is the sole responsibility of the Contractor to determine or verify the actual site conditions and measurements.

If services are ordered when snowfall has accumulated to 6 inches or more, then that order shall constitute two plowing orders. At no time will the vendor charge more than two plowing’s during a single visit. The following depths will be used to determine the number of plows to be billed based on the amount of snow which has fallen at the time service is rendered (see below for Scenarios).

Scenario 1: You are called by the facility manager at 9:00 AM on Thursday to plow and the snow depth at that time is 5 inches, your plow quantity will be 1. You are then called back at 5:00 PM the same day and another 12 inches of snow has fallen, the plow quantity will be 2 plows based on the depth of snow that has fallen since the first plow. This will be total of 3 plows for that day.

Scenario 2: You are called by the facility manager at 6:00AM on Wednesday to plow and the snow depth at that time is 10 inches, your plow quantity will be 2. You are then called back at 4:00PM the same day and another 3 inches of snow has fallen, the plow quantity will be 1 plow based on the depth of snow that has fallen since the first plow, for a total of three plows for that day.

1.6 General Information

1.6.1 Quality Control: Quality Control is the responsibility of the contractor. The contractor is responsible for the delivery of quality services/supplies to the Government (see FAR 52.212-4, Contractor Inspection Requirements). A formal Quality Control Plan (QCP) is not required for this commercial service. However, the contractor shall maintain an inspection system commensurate with commercial practices to ensure the Contractor only tenders for acceptance those items or services that conform to the requirements of this contract.

1.6.2 Quality Assurance: The Government shall evaluate the contractor’s performance under this contract in accordance with the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP). This plan is a Government only document primarily focused on what the Government must do to assure that the contractor has performed in accordance with the requirements of the contract. The Government reserves the right to inspect or test any supplies or services that have been tendered for acceptance. Non-conforming services shall be re-performed at no increase in contract price. If non-conforming services are recurring, cannot be re-performed, or the services fail to achieve the performance standards in the PWS and referenced in Section 7, the Government may reject the nonconforming service(s) and document the contractor’s performance record accordingly. The Government may also issue a Contract Discrepancy Report (CDR) in which the contractor will be required to respond with the development of a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) which identifies the root cause, corrective action for the root cause, corrective action for the specific nonconformance, and the date the corrective action(s) will be complete. The Government may also reduce the payment to the contractor in accordance with (IAW) the Performance Requirements Summary (PRS), or reduce payment to reflect the value of the services performed, or may perform the services and charge the Contractor for any related cost incurred, or may terminate this contract for default.

1.6.2.1 Nonconforming Supplies or Services: When a Contractor’s performance does not meet Contract requirements and/or approved work schedules and/or timeframes it is considered a nonconformance. Nonconformance shall be classified in one of three categories: level I (Minor), level II (Major) or level III (Critical). The Government may re-inspect work designated for re-performance or late performance, and the Contractor may be held liable for any damages sustained by the Government including, for example, the costs associated with re-inspection.

1.6.2.1.1 Level I (Minor) non-conformance: is defined as a non-conformance that is not likely to materially reduce the usability of the supplies or services for their intended purpose, or is a departure from established standards having little bearing on the effective use or operation of the supplies or services. Minor non-conformance usually can be corrected on the spot, where no further corrective action (CA) response is necessary, and can be issued by the COR to the contractor either through a verbal or written non-conformance report. Minor non-conforming services shall be re-performed within a specified time frame at no increase in contract price. If minor non-conformances are recurring or re-performance is not completed in full and within the specified time a Level II non-conformance may be issued to the contractor by the Contracting Officer (KO).

1.6.2.1.2 Level II (Major) non-conformance: is defined as a non-conformance, other than critical, that is likely to result in failure of the supplies or services, or to materially reduce the usability of the supplies or services for their intended purpose. Recurring Minor non-conformances, or a non-responsive contractor, indicating a trend or failure of the contractor’s quality control, can also be classified as a Major non-conformance. Major non-conformance’s shall result in the issuance of a written CDR from the KO to the contractor requiring the development of a CAP by the contractor which identifies the root cause, CA for the root cause, CA for the specific non-conformance and the date CAs will be completed.

1.6.2.1.3 Level III (Critical) non-conformance: is defined as a non-conformance that is likely to result in hazardous or unsafe conditions for individuals using, maintaining, or depending upon the supplies or services; is likely to prevent performance of a vital agency mission; is for a repeated or uncorrected level II CDRs; or is for a non-responsive contractor to a level II CDR. Critical non-conformances shall result in the issuance of a written CDR to the contractor requiring the development of a CAP by the contractor which identifies the root cause, CA for the root cause, CA for the specific non-conformance and the date CAs will be completed.

1.6.2.1.4 The contractor will be notified of Government inspection results within 5 business days. The Contractor shall acknowledge receipt of the inspection results via email or letter within 2 business days. The contractor may be notified of inspection results verbally or via email. Verbal notifications of defective work will be confirmed in writing. When Government inspectors are unable to contact the contractor to notify the contractor of inspection results, acceptance or rejection of work will be made on the basis of the initial inspection.

1.6.2.1.5 Performance Evaluation Meetings: The Contractor Point of Contact (POC) shall meet with the COR prior to start of the contract. However, meetings may be held whenever deficiencies are noted by the COR. A mutual effort shall be made to resolve all problems identified.
