ATTACHMENT 5—QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE PLAN

1. QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE PLAN (QASP). This plan will be used to assure the Government that the work specified under this contract is completed satisfactorily. This plan is included for information purposes and will not be made part of any resulting contract. Payment analysis will be conducted by using the Random, Periodic Inspection, or 100% sampling methods; however, the Government has the right to change or modify surveillance methods at its discretion.

2. DEFINITIONS.

a. Acceptable Quality Level (AQL). The AQL is a predetermined value selected and used by the Government Quality Assurance Inspector to distinguish between satisfactory and unsatisfactory performance. For evaluation by Random sampling, AQLs are stated in percentages (i.e., 95%, 90%, etc.) in accordance with Table 1. The AQL table has three parts: Population Size, sample size, and the allowable reject level.

i. Population Size—the total number of required services from which a sample is to be drawn. Example: 505 picnic sites to be cleaned each day x 20 cleaning days/mo. (inspection period) = Population Size of 10,000

ii. Sample—the number of samples to be taken. Example: AQL is 90% and Population Size is 10,000 = Sample of 26

iii. Reject level—the allowable margin of error allowed the Contractor under the Random sampling method. When the observed total number of defects per inspection period is equal to or below the Reject Level, the work will be considered satisfactory; if above, the work will be considered unsatisfactory.

An unsatisfactory rating will require corrective action and/or deductions.

Notification of unsatisfactory performance will be provided in the form of a Contractor Discrepancy Report (CDR). Example: AQL of 90%, Population of 10,000, Sample Size of 26 = Reject Level of 6.

3. PAYMENT ANALYSIS

a. Random Sampling Method: Surveillance based on random sampling is a Government quality assurance evaluation method designed to evaluate some part, but not all, of the contract service requirements being monitored. This method is based on statistical theory and estimates the Contractor's overall level of performance for a given service requirement. Random sampling is considered where there is a large, homogeneous population and 100% surveillance is not feasible. Surveillance of the results of a scheduled service is based on samples from finished work using the Random Sample Table. These results are compared to the specified performance standards.

i. Monitoring: Inspection of all services performed under this method will be conducted according to a schedule developed by the Government. Inspection samples will be selected randomly from each lot. Only those items appearing in the random samples will be used for evaluating performance.

ii. Deductions: Once a random sample has been taken of a lot, and the number of defective items exceeds the Reject Level for that lot, a deduction will be calculated as follows:

a) Population Size is 10,000 units.

b) Monthly contract price for cleaning picnic sites is $5,050.00

c) Sample size, using an AQL of 90%, is 26

d) Number of defects in the sample is 8 (Reject Level is 6)

e) Percentage of defects is 30.8% (8 ÷26 = 0.308)

f) Deduction from the current month's invoice is $1,555.54 ($5,050 x

0.308 = $1,554.54).

b. Periodic Inspection Method. Surveillance by Periodic Inspection, like Random Sampling, is designed to inspect some part, but not all of the contract service requirements being monitored. Periodic Inspection under this plan will differ from Random Sampling only in the way in which samples are selected. Periodic inspection will be used in lieu of random sampling when the population size is not large enough to make the random tables practical or the service is not critical enough to warrant 100% inspection or to avoid excessive travel and loss of productive time for the inspector. The results of these inspections, like random sampling, are then compared to the specific performance standards.

EXAMPLE: The inspector is to inspect bulletin boards. Bulletin board population size is only 38 and occurs in only one park and the headquarters area. If the random sampling method determines that the inspector must inspect the cleaning service of restrooms in a particular park that contains a bulletin board, then the inspector may chose to inspect the cleaning of that bulletin board in that same park rather than drive to another park to make a separate, similar inspection.

i. Monitoring: Inspection of all services performed under this method will be conducted according to a schedule developed by the Government. The Government may, however, choose facilities it wishes to inspect without randomly selecting. Only those samples will be used for evaluating performance.

ii. Deductions: Once a periodic inspection has been performed, and the number of defective items exceeds the Maximum Allowable Deviation from Requirement for that population (see Table 2), a deduction will be made based on the following example:

a) Contract price for bulletin boards is $19.00

b) Number in sample is 15 services per month

c) Number of deviations/defects in the sample is 6 (Max. Allowable Deviation is 4)

d) Percentage of sample defective is 40% (6/15 = 0.40)

e) Deduction for the current month is $7.60 ($19.00 x 0.40 = $7.60)

c. 100% Inspection Method: Surveillance by this method requires that every occurrence of a performed service be monitored. Contract requirements using these evaluations are generally that occur infrequently, are essential, or are costly to perform. These results are then compared to the specific performance standards.

i. Monitoring: Inspection of all services performed under this method will be conducted according to a schedule developed by the Government. All services in a Population will be inspected and used for evaluation purposes.

ii. Deductions: Below is an example of deductions taken under this method:

a) Population size is 60

b) Monthly lot contract price for cleaning campsites in a park is $1,200.00

c) Sample size is 100% or 60

d) Number of defects is 15

e) Percentage of sample defective is 25% (15 ÷60 = .25)

f) Deduction for the current month is $300 ($1,200 x 0.25)

HAZARDOUS PAY DIFFERENTIAL: An 8 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position that represents a high degree of hazard when working with or in close proximity to ordinance, explosives, and incendiary materials. This includes work such as screening, blending, dying, mixing, and pressing of sensitive ordance, explosives, and pyrotechnic compositions such as lead azide, black powder and photoflash powder. All dry-house activities involving propellants or explosives. Demilitarization, modification, renovation, demolition, and maintenance operations on sensitive ordnance, explosives and incendiary materials. All operations involving regrading and cleaning of artillery ranges.

A 4 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position that represents a low degree of hazard when working with, or in close proximity to ordance, (or employees possibly adjacent to) explosives and incendiary materials which involves potential injury such as laceration of hands, face, or arms of the employee engaged in the operation, irritation of the skin, minor burns and the like; minimal damage to immediate or adjacent work area or equipment being used.

All operations involving, unloading, storage, and hauling of ordance, explosive, and incendiary ordnance material other than small arms ammunition. These differentials are only applicable to work that has been specifically designated by the agency for ordance, explosives, and incendiary material differential pay.

** UNIFORM ALLOWANCE **

If employees are required to wear uniforms in the performance of this contract (either by the terms of the Government contract, by the employer, by the state or local law, etc.), the cost of furnishing such uniforms and maintaining (by laundering or dry cleaning) such uniforms is an expense that may not be borne by an employee where such cost reduces the hourly rate below that required by the wage determination. The Department of Labor will accept payment in accordance with the following standards as compliance:

The contractor or subcontractor is required to furnish all employees with an adequate number of uniforms without cost or to reimburse employees for the actual cost of the uniforms. In addition, where uniform cleaning and maintenance is made the responsibility of the employee, all contractors and subcontractors subject to this wage determination shall (in the absence of a bona fide collective bargaining agreement providing for a different amount, or the furnishing of contrary affirmative proof as to the actual cost), reimburse all employees for such cleaning and maintenance at a rate of $3.35 per week (or $.67 cents per day). However, in those instances where the uniforms furnished are made of "wash and wear" materials, may be routinely washed and dried with other personal garments, and do not require any special treatment such as dry cleaning, daily washing, or commercial laundering in order to meet the cleanliness or appearance standards set by the terms of the Government contract, by the contractor, by law, or by the nature of the work, there is no requirement that employees be reimbursed for uniform maintenance costs.

REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL CLASSIFICATION AND WAGE RATE {Standard Form

1444 (SF 1444)}

Conformance Process:

The contracting officer shall require that any class of service employee which is not listed herein and which is to be employed under the contract (i.e., the work to be performed is not performed by any classification listed in the wage determination), be classified by the contractor so as to provide a reasonable relationship (i.e., appropriate level of skill comparison) between such unlisted classifications and the classifications listed in the wage determination. Such conformed classes of employees shall be paid the monetary wages and furnished the fringe benefits as are determined. Such conforming process shall be initiated by the contractor prior to the performance of contract work by such unlisted class(es) of employees. The conformed classification, wage rate, and/or fringe benefits shall be retroactive to the commencement date of the contract. {See Section 4.6 (C)(vi)} When multiple wage determinations are included in a contract, a separate SF 1444 should be prepared for each wage determination to which a class(es) is to be conformed.

The process for preparing a conformance request is as follows:

1) When preparing the bid, the contractor identifies the need for a conformed occupation) and computes a proposed rate).

2) After contract award, the contractor prepares a written report listing in order proposed classification title), a Federal grade equivalency (FGE) for each proposed classification), job description), and rationale for proposed wage rate), including information regarding the agreement or disagreement of the authorized representative of the employees involved, or where there is no authorized representative, the employees themselves. This report should be submitted to the contracting officer no later than 30 days after such unlisted class(es) of employees performs any contract work.

3) The contracting officer reviews the proposed action and promptly submits a report of the action, together with the agency's recommendations and pertinent information including the position of the contractor and the employees, to the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, for review. (See section 4.6(b)(2) of Regulations 29 CFR Part 4).

4) Within 30 days of receipt, the Wage and Hour Division approves, modifies, or disapproves the action via transmittal to the agency contracting officer, or notifies the contracting officer that additional time will be required to process the request.

5) The contracting officer transmits the Wage and Hour decision to the contractor.

6) The contractor informs the affected employees.

Information required by the Regulations must be submitted on SF 1444 or bond paper.

When preparing a conformance request, the "Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations" (the Directory) should be used to compare job definitions to insure that duties requested are not performed by a classification already listed in the wage determination. Remember, it is not the job title, but the required tasks that determine whether a class is included in an established wage determination.

Conformances may not be used to artificially split, combine, or subdivide classifications listed in the wage determination.

The duties of employees under job titles listed are those described in the "Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations", Fifth Edition, April 2006, unless otherwise indicated. Copies of the Directory are available on the Internet. A links to the Directory may be found on the WHD home page at http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/ or through the Wage Determinations On-Line (WDOL) Web site at http://wdol.gov/.
