Location of Services: All work will be located in the state of Arizona

Team Arrangements: The BPA Holder will be the prime contractor for any order placed under this BPA, regardless of any teaming arrangements it may make with other firms. The BPA Holder will be solely responsible for providing the ordered services, and payment for the accepted services will be made only to the BPA Holder/Contractor.

BPA Ordering Process: As requirements determined by the Government to be appropriate for ordering under this BPA materialize, the government will issue Requests for Quotations (RFQs) to BPA Holders.

The RFQs will include 1) a Statement of Services describing the work to be performed; 2) any special contractual requirements that will apply to the order, to include delivery requirements/performance schedules; 3) any applicable Service Contract Act wage determinations; and 4) quotation preparation and submittal instructions. If interested in competing for the order, the BPA Holder must respond by submitting a quotation. The BPA Holder is not required to compete for every order. Quotations will generally consist of 1) technical/capability information, 2) a lump sum FIRM FIXED PRICE (inclusive of all labor, materials, travel, expenses, etc), and 3) a price breakdown for the price quotation by labor categories with estimated hours at the established hourly rates and all associated Other Direct Costs, to include printing and production costs, travel, facilities rental, ETC. The government will evaluate every quotation that is timely received and will select the one that offers the best value to the Government, based on the criteria established in the RFQ. The government-authorized caller will then issue the BPA order to that BPA Holder. The order will be issued on a firm fixed price basis. The BPA order will cite appropriation and obligate funds. Upon acceptance by the BPA Holder, either in writing or by substantial performance, the order will become a binding contract between the Government and the BPA Holder.

Other Sources: This BPA is not a required source for obtaining the services described herein. The determination of whether or not to use the BPA to acquire services is reserved exclusively by the Government. The Government may elect to use the BPA to obtain services, but is not required to do so.

The Government may perform services in-house, may solicit and award other contracts for work which could have been ordered under this BPA, or may use other existing contracts (including Federal Supply Schedules).

BPA FUNDING: No funds are or will be obligated under a BPA. All funds will be obligated against the orders, if any, placed under this BPA.

BPA Minimums and Maximums: No work is guaranteed under a BPA. The minimum dollar value of work that must be ordered by the government under a BPA Call is $2,500. The maximum value for a BPA Call is $150,00.00. The maximum dollar value for the entire BPA is $3,000,000.00.

Authorized Callers: Only authorized callers from the SPK Contracting Office may place orders under the BPA. The BPA Holder will receive a list of the authorized callers and will not respond to any government employee who is not on the list.

Term of the BPA: This BPA will be valid for a five-year period from the date established, unless the Government provides a 30 day notification to terminate the agreement. Should the Government request its discontinuation, work on existing orders/calls shall be completed by the contractor, including any modifications executed on any remaining calls. Once a BPA is terminated, no new orders will be placed with the BPA Holder.

Period of Performance:

Each call will typically have a 55 working day period of performance from the date of award:

20 working days from date of award for furnishing preliminary title reports, vesting deeds and Schedule B documents.

15 working days from date of receipt boundary survey to furnish title commitments.

15 working days from date of receipt of Governments escrow instructions to close escrow and record documents.

15 working days from the recording of documents to furnish title insurance.

Firm Fixed Price: Orders placed under this BPA will be firm fixed price. Price quotations are to include all costs associated with performance of the required service, to include all labor, materials, travel, per diem, and any other direct, indirect or incidental costs necessary for performance of the ordered services.

Unless the order is modified in writing (e.g. there is a change in the scope of services ordered), the obligated amount will not be adjusted. The cost breakdown furnished with the price quotation is for information purposes only, so that the Government may verify that the lump sum price being quoted conforms with the agreed to rate established on the BPA.

Other Direct Costs (ODC’s): Other Direct Costs, also known as incidental items, consist of those services and products (other than labor hours) needed to complete an order. The BPA Holder is not required to provide a fixed price list of ODCs as part of the price quotation for the BPA competition.

However, each price quotation for an order to be issued under a BPA must include all ODCs required for successful performance of the ordered service. Additionally, the price quotation for each order must include a breakdown to support the lump sum price quotation, which will include ODCs.

Invoices: Invoices for each payment will be submitted upon completion of services/tasks as outlined in the pricing/payment schedule for each order. Invoices shall include all necessary information and shall include any necessary supporting documentation. Payment and invoicing instructions are included in the Performance Work Statement with each order. SUMMARY INVOICES: A summary invoice shall be submitted at least monthly or upon expiration of this BPA, whichever occurs first, for all deliveries made during a billing period, identifying the delivery tickets covered therein, stating their total dollar value, and supported by receipt copies of the delivery tickets.

Contract Payments: The Government shall pay the Contractor/BPA Holder upon submission of proper invoices for services delivered and accepted for the portion of the work actually performed under the order. The negotiated price for the order may include a payment schedule based on task or product deliveries, but not for a percentage of completion. Deliverables must be accepted by the Government before payment will be made.

Safety and Accident Prevention: In performing ordered services, the BPA Holder/contractor shall provide and maintain work environments and procedures which will (1) safeguard the public and Government personnel, property, materials, supplies, and equipment exposed to Contractor operations and activities; and (2) avoid interruptions of Government operations and delays in project completion dates. The BPA Holder/contractor shall comply with the following documents to the extent applicable to the performance of services under any order under the BPA: Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), 29 Code of Federal Regulations 1910; 1926 (see http://www.access.gpo.gov) and EM 385-1-1.

Government Property: All materials gathered and/or developed in the performance of the order services will be the property of the Government, including all electronic and hard copy work products. At the Government’s request, the above materials and work will be furnished to the Government at no additional cost.

Authorities / Technical Direction: The Contractor shall take no direction from any Government employee or any other person other than the Government Contracting Officer that changes the terms and conditions of this contract action, the scope, or any change that impacts the cost, price or schedule.

Changes authorized by the Contracting Officer will be in the form of a written, official, signed modification to the contract action received by the Contractor before the Contractor will act upon those changes. The Contractor will comply with the Changes clause of this contract when the contractor believes direction has been given from persons other than the Government Contracting Officer that equate to a change by notifying the Contractor Officer as directed by the clause. Any direction given by any Government employee or any other person outside their authority must be reported to the Contracting Officer. Contracting Officer Representatives (CORs) are limited to the authorities stated in the COR appointment letters. If a COR is appointed under this contract, they will be appointed by written letter from the Contracting Officer to the Contractor and COR specific to this contract only. COR appointment letters from previous contracts at this installation are not valid for this contract.

Quality Control: The Contractor/BPA Holder shall be responsible for quality control of its own work.

The Contractor/BPA Holder shall have a logical and functional quality control program to assure that errors and deficiencies in all submittals are minimal.

Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP): The BPA Holder shall be responsible for quality control of work performed. Each BPA Call will have its own QASP specifying how the Government will evaluate acceptable performance
