Any equipment falling outside of these specifications must be approved by the designated Government Technical Point of Contact.

3. The successful offeror will provide initial on-site, equipment specific, safety and operations training, which is accredited and compliant with the National Center for Construction Education Research (NCCER) standards. The training shall be for up to fifteen (15) employees on each piece of rented equipment or equipment type. The training will also instruct on compliance with OSHA rules and regulations.

4. Each piece of the listed equipment will be needed from one (1) to five (5) months, with one (1) month equal to 28 calendar days, and the minimum period of time shall be no less than one (1) month for each piece of equipment listed; therefore interested vendors should proposal accordingly. Rental costs will be paid on a month by month basis, and the equipment may be returned earlier than the full rental period. The usage date begins on the day the designated Government representative accepts the piece of equipment for use, which will be based on the date the equipment is on the worksite and operational or the date the aforementioned safety and operational training is completed, whichever is later.

5. Mobilization and demobilization of each piece of equipment shall be billed by the contractor, and paid by the Government, independent of the equipment rental cost.

6. The transportation/delivery costs of all rental equipment and associated materials to and from the job sites, which will either be in Sault Sainte Marie, MI 49783 or Barbeau, MI 49710 is the responsibility the contractor. The equipment shall be delivered on a piece by piece basis in an order established by the designated Government representative.

9. All equipment shall be provided with tools and necessary materials to perform minor forms of general, preventative, and/or routine maintenance, such as fluid level checks, greasing, tire pressures, etc. These tools and material include, but are not limited to, items such as equipment specific tools, grease guns, grease, and hydraulic fluid. The Contractor is responsible for major maintenance and repairs, which will also include periodic oil changes.

10. All equipment and accessories shall arrive ready for use, and fully functional. It is the contractors responsibility to ensure items such as hydraulic and motor oil levels are topped off, fuel tanks are full, accessory attachment pins, hydraulic hoses, electrical harnesses, and fluids are provided, tires are inflated to proper pressures, equipment cab glass is not broken, etc. Equipment delivered that is not fully functional may delay start dates for the rental period.

11. This equipment shall be used in close areas and a quarry like environment, therefore the contractor must allow for equipment to be returned with minor damage that does not affect the equipments’ functionality.

Under certain circumstances, and when approved by a Government Representative, the 24 hour response time may be waived.

Failure to comply with this requirement may result in an extension of the rental period on a day-for-day basis for not only the non-operating equipment, but also for the equipment supporting its operation. If nonoperational equipment cannot be repaired within 24 hours, the successful offeror also has the option of replacing the equipment in kind within 36 hours. The designated Government representative shall dictate how the time lost on equipment that is not functioning for more than 24 hours will be credited to the Government, which will be either be through extending the rental periods to allow for adequate make up time, or require the contractor to adjust invoices to not include this time.

(B) The payment of a reimbursement, restitution, or damages in excess of $100,000.

(iv) In a criminal, civil, or administrative proceeding, a disposition of the matter by consent or compromise with an acknowledgment of fault by the Contractor if the proceeding could have led to any of the outcomes specified in paragraphs (c)(1)(i), (c)(1)(ii), or (c)(1)(iii) of this provision.

(2) If the offeror has been involved in the last five years in any of the occurrences listed in (c)(1) of this provision, whether the offeror has provided the requested information with regard to each occurrence.

(d) The offeror shall post the information in paragraphs (c)(1)(i) through (c)(1)(iv) of this provision in FAPIIS as required through maintaining an active registration in the System for Award Management database via https://www.acquisition.gov (see 52.204-7).

(End of provision)

52.209-9 UPDATES OF PUBLICLY AVAILABLE INFORMATION REGARDING RESPONSIBILITY

MATTERS (JULY 2013)

(a) The Contractor shall update the information in the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) on a semi-annual basis, throughout the life of the contract, by posting the required information in the System for Award Management database via https://www.acquisition.gov.

(b) As required by section 3010 of the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2010 (Pub. L. 111-212), all information posted in FAPIIS on or after April 15, 2011, except past performance reviews, will be publicly available. FAPIIS consists of two segments--

(1) The non-public segment, into which Government officials and the Contractor post information, which can only be viewed by--

(i) Government personnel and authorized users performing business on behalf of the Government; or

(ii) The Contractor, when viewing data on itself; and

(2) The publicly-available segment, to which all data in the non-public segment of FAPIIS is automatically transferred after a waiting period of 14 calendar days, except for--

(i) Past performance reviews required by subpart 42.15;

(ii) Information that was entered prior to April 15, 2011; or

(iii) Information that is withdrawn during the 14-calendar-day waiting period by the Government official who posted it in accordance with paragraph (c)(1) of this clause.

(c) The Contractor will receive notification when the Government posts new information to the Contractor's record.

(1) If the Contractor asserts in writing within 7 calendar days, to the Government official who posted the information, that some of the information posted to the non-public segment of FAPIIS is covered by a disclosure exemption under the Freedom of Information Act, the Government official who posted the information must within 7 calendar days remove the posting from FAPIIS and resolve the issue in accordance with agency Freedom of Information procedures, prior to reposting the releasable information. The contractor must cite 52.209-9 and request removal within 7 calendar days of the posting to FAPIIS.

(2) The Contractor will also have an opportunity to post comments regarding information that has been posted by the Government.
