Multiple snow/ice removals may be required each day. Contractor shall treat cleaned surfaces skid free by applying a contractor furnished sand, salt, or approved chemical, (Salt/Sand mixture or Chemical treatment must comply with State and Local Department of Transportation Requirements). Sidewalks to be kept in slip free condition. Snow plowing and sidewalk snow removal will normally be ordered at or near the end of a snowfall or, in a continuing snowfall. However, determination of when to order services rests solely with the COR or DR. Note that any drawings or maps provided to the Contractor, either before or after the contract is awarded, are for reference purposes only and may not be to scale. 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.

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.

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 Contracting Officer Representative (COR) will evaluate the contractor’s performance under this contract in accordance with the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP). This plan is a Government only document focused on what the COR must do to assure that the contractor has performed in accordance with the performance requirements within this PWS.

1.6.2.1 Non-conforming Services: Corrective Action Requests (CARs) (formerly Nonconformance Reports) are used for managing contractual nonconformances on ACC administered contracts. Nonconformance occurs when a contractor fails to meet contract or task order terms, conditions and/or specifications. The COR will notify the contractor each time an unacceptable observation has been recorded and ask the contractor to correct the problem or re-accomplish the service. Resolution of nonconformance discovered at the subcontractor level shall be addressed with the prime contractor. CARs are issued, overseen and closed IAW Army Contracting Command (ACC) Acquisition Instruction (AI) and FAR subpart 46.407 nonconforming supplies or services.

1.6.2.1.1 Level I: A Level I CAR describes a deficiency on a product or service and is not a systemic breakdown of a process or system. It includes those nonconformances that are minor in nature and can be promptly corrected by the contractor, present no need for root cause analysis, no determination if other contract requirements are affected, present no need for further preventive action, and do not materially reduce the usability of the supplies, services, construction, or deliverables. While the Government must document the nonconformance and the contractor must correct the nonconformance, further actions and Government follow-up are not required, and no written response from the contractor is needed. Level I CARs are considered closed immediately upon issuance.

1.6.2.1.2 Level II: A Level II CAR describes deficiencies in a contractor’s processes or systems but are not significant deficiencies. Level II CARs shall require the contractor to correct the nonconformance, perform root cause, and develop and provide a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) acceptable to the government. Some examples of systems affected may be quality inspection/management systems, and Contractor Business Systems (CBS) identified in DFARS 242.70, or issues such as:

1.6.2.1.3 Level III: A Level III CAR describes deficiencies in a contractor’s system that is affecting a contract’s or program’s ability to meet cost, schedule or performance requirements, or are:

NOTE: If not resolved satisfactorily, a Level III CAR may result in the initiation of available contractual remedies, such as reductions of payments, cost disallowances, revocation of government assumption of risk of loss, or business management system disapprovals, etc.

1.6.2.1.4 Level IV: A Level IV CAR documents a critical nonconformance of such serious nature that is issued to the contractor’s business segment or corporate management for their attention to both the nonconforming condition and the company’s corrective action, or when a Level III CAR has been ineffective. A Level IV CAR will result in a mandatory review of available contractual remedies, such as cost disallowance, reduction or suspension of payments, revocation of government assumption of risk of loss, CBS disapproval, or suspension of all product and service acceptance activities. Contractual remedies will be implemented IAW applicable FAR/DFARS clauses and/or ACC Acquisition Instructions if applicable. Action to suspend product or service acceptance will be accomplished via a Level IV CAR. The contractor shall be required to provide a CAP that is acceptable to the government.
