PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Shredding Services 81st Regional Support Command

1525 Marion Ave Fort Jackson, SC 29207-6807

Part 1

General Information

1. GENERAL: This is a non-personal services contract to provide onsite document shredding service to 81st

RSC Base ops locations. The locations are provided as an attachment. They will include locations in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama and Puerto Rico. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

1.1 Description of Services/Introductions: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform onsite document shredding service as defined in this Performance Work Statement, except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The contractor shall perform to the standards of this contract.

1.2 Background: Currently the 81st Regional Support Command (RSC) has a contract for shredding services.

The contract is limited to locations throughout the command. By having a shredding contract we are able to ensure all documentation is being shredded in accordance to policy.

1.3 Objectives:

1.3.1 Reduced man-hours. Most office-size paper shredders take time to feed and cannot accommodate sizable quantities of documents. Paper shredding is a non-value added function that eats up employee hours.

1.3.2 Reduced investment. Larger capacity document shredders involve larger capital investment. The maintenance warranties are only good for two years. Large and compact paper shredders alike share the same basic problem-eventually they all break.

1.4 Scope: Services includes use of the bins and service every two weeks for larger facilities and once a month for the smaller facilities. The contractor will issue a “certificate of Destruction” form when records have been destroyed. We will also be able to obtain a detailed monthly recycle poundage and quality reports.

1.5 Period of Performance: The period of performance shall be for one (1) Base Year of 12 months and two

(2) 12-month options years.

1.6 General Information

The contractor shall develop and implement procedures to identify, prevent, and ensure non-recurrence of defective services. The contractor’s quality control program is the means by which he assures himself that his/her work complies with the requirement of the contract. The QCP shall be submitted to the KO and COR within 5 working days when changes are made thereafter. After acceptance of the quality control plan the contractor shall receive the contracting officer’s acceptance in writing of any proposed change to his QC system.

1.6.2 Quality Assurance: the government shall evaluate the contractor’s performance under this contract in accordance with the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan. This plan is primarily focused on what the Government must do to ensure that the contractor has performed in accordance with the performance standards. It defines how the performance standards will be applied, the frequency of surveillance, and the minimum acceptable defect rate(s).

1.6.3 Recognized Holidays: The contractor is not required to perform services on the following holidays:

New Year’s Day Labor Day Martin Luther King JR’s Birthday Columbus Day President Day Veteran’s Day Memorial Day Thanksgiving Day Independence Day Christmas Day

For other than firm fixed price contracts, the contractor will not be reimbursed when the government facility is closed for the above reasons. The contractor must at all times maintain an adequate workforce for the uninterrupted performance of all tasks defined within the PWS when the Government facility is not closed for the above reasons. When hiring personnel, the contractor shall keep in mind that the stability and continuity of the workforce is essential.

Then the provider can open a rolling container to empty the bag from the small container. At no time will the provider open a rolling container to empty contents from another rolling container. The provider must provide 81st RSC Director of Emergency Services verification all employees who will be working either as the prime or subcontractor and ensure each employee has been cleared to work on a military installation, even if the location is not physically on a military location.

1.6.8.1 Key Control: The facility coordinator or Government employee will maintain a key for the rolling bins and the containers. Only the Facility Coordinator or Government employee will be authorized to unlock the bins to retrieve items which may have been dropped in the container.

1.6.8.2 Lock combinations: All rolling bins and containers will be locked with a key lock only, no combination locks are authorized.
