The following items are applicable to this modification:

W9124Q-17-R-0001/AMENDMENT0002

The purpose of this amendment is as follows:

1. CHANGE the reference in the extended description of CLINs 0100, 0200, 0300, 0400 & 0500 from the incorrect “technical exhibit 2” to the correct “Technical Exhibit B.”

4. The solicitation closing date of January 18, 2017 at 11:00 CST remains unchanged.

5. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.

6. The below are the questions from Industry and the Government response.

Questions from Industry and Government Response

1) Transition Question – SOPs / Plans: Performing EOD operations on ranges requires specific detailed procedures and protocols to be developed and in place that are technical more complex than normal / routine civilian UXO operations. Will the Government provide copies of the existing protocols and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to include the plans listed in Section 5.1.1 in use by the incumbent as they were likely technically developed under previous WSMR funding or will the replacement contractor have to develop these from scratch? If not, it would seem to be the incumbent at an unfair advantage as the costs to develop these items has already been absorbed from the previous contract.

Response – The Government will not provide plans, procedures or SOPs developed by the incumbent contractor. Per paragraph 5.1.1 of the PWS the new contractor shall prepare their own work plan that address site information.

2) The contract CLINs for EOD Support Labor state “The contractor shall furnish all tools, labor, transportation, materials, supplies, and equipment (to include maintenance and fuel where required) unless specified as government furnished to perform all work in accordance with the attached performance work statement (PWS).” This requirement presents many issues in terms of fairness under an LPTA scenario. Including but not limited to:

Response – The phase “not limited to” was removed from the PWS.

3) Equipment – The list provided in Exhibit 2 includes equipment “typically” used in the performance of the requirement that is not provided the Government. Based upon experience in conducting EOD/UXO operations as well as munitions scrap management, we believe the list to be far from complete to allow an EOD unit to safely and properly perform their duties – for example, equipment to Demil munitions, equipment to analyze and render safe munitions, specialized safety equipment, and other field / office equipment (e.g., GPS units, cameras, printers) are not included. How will the Government evaluate costs and reasonableness if cost backup and/or equipment list is required?

Response – There is no “Exhibit 2.” The technical exhibit was corrected to read “Technical Exhibit B” in amendment 0001. All future references to “Technical Exhibit 2” are synonyms with “Technical Exhibit B.” Offeror’s proposed equipment listing will be evaluated to determine whether the proposed equipment is realistic and adequate to satisfy PWS requirements and that it reflects the type of equipment typically used. The Government will evaluate price using analytical techniques and procedures described in FAR 15.404-1. Through these techniques the Government will determine whether prices are reasonable, complete and balanced.

4) A company bidding on just the minimum equipment list will have far less costs than a company that understands the technical issues associated with EOD responses. Will the Government consider breaking out the cost of contractor provided equipment as a separate line item that is evaluated for technical reasonableness?

Response – Yes. Offerors shall propose in accordance with the Governments CLIN structure. In addition offerors can also propose an alternate line-item structure which breaks out the cost of contractor provided equipment. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions or commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately. See clause 252.204-7011 Alternative Line-Item Structure (Sep 2011) of the solicitation for further guidance.

5) Fuel – At almost 3,200 sq miles (over 2.5 times the size of the state of Rhode Island), the fuel costs associated with EOD operations will vary greatly by the number of responses required and their locations. Without providing historical information or knowledge on actual miles driven, how can a bidder attempt to estimate fuel costs? Will the Government consider breaking out fuel and/or mileage costs as a separate line item and provide a GFE value so that all bidders are evaluated on an equal basis.

Response – TDY travel is captured in the Travel and Mileage CLIN (i.e. CLINs 0101, 0201, 0301, 0401, and 0501). Offerors should use the price in the “Travel & Mileage for EOD” CLIN extended description when proposing on those line items. Travel cost in the performance of day-to-day daily duties should be included in the ODC cost of the Labor CLINs.

6) CLINs 0101, 0201, 0301, 0401, and 0501 – Travel and Mileage – are these costs to cover PWS items 5.6.1 and 5.6.2 which appear, although not clear, to be related to TDY operations that may be required? Please clarify if the costs are to cover TDY travel or travel / mileage within WSMR.

Response – CLINs 0101, 0201, 0301, 0401, and 0501 – Travel and Mileage – Cost are to cover TDY travel.

7) Page 41/42 provides an “example list” of the training required under the contract. Some of the training is standard and guided by existing programs such as OSHSA / first aid while other training seems to be site-specific. Other than the Satellite Accumulation Training and Radiation safety training which are marked as government provided, will the Government make available a list of certified and approved trainers or training courses specific to WSMR?

Response – No.

8) Technical Exhibit 2 lists the “anticipated” yearly workload based upon historical data. However, the working hours are not listed on the pricing spreadsheet. Are bidders to assume and bid only to those “anticipated” values so that all bidders are evaluated equally?

Response – Offerors are to populate the pricing spreadsheet with their direct labor rates, fully loaded labor rates and productive hours equal to that of the working hours on Technical Exhibit B – Projected Workload Data. Offerors are to propose on the “Working Hours” on TE-B so that all offerors are evaluated equally.

9) Page 14, CLIN 0600 referenced the Exhibit D – Pricing Spreadsheet, but the Exhibit is not setup for for CLIN D. Is a price / cost required for Item No 0600 or does the Government intended to award any surge work at the proposed labor rates from CLINs 010, 0200, 0300, 0400 and 0500 respectively?

Response – Offeror shall not propose cost for CLIN 0600. CLIN 0600 will be issued as a task order on an as needed basis. Technical Exhibit D – Pricing Spreadsheet shall be used for pricing the labor rates for each Task Order issued on CLIN 0600. Work will be approved and the price fixed per the rates proposed in Technical Exhibit D.

10) How is the Government handling overtime as there is not overtime rate included in the costing sheets?

Response – Offeror shall include any anticipated overtime in their proposed price.

11) Will the client be providing hours by labor category in order to estimate the phase-in costs in Item No. 0001?

Response – No, it is the responsibility of the offeror to propose a firm-fixed price for CLIN 0001 phase-in.

12) Should the phase-in pricing details be added to the “Pricing Schedule” attachment?

Response – No. Phase-in pricing should not be added to Technical Exhibit D – Pricing Spreadsheet.

13) The Travel and Mileage CLINs state no material handling or profit is authorized on this line item. Please clarify if G&A is allowed to be applied to the travel and mileage costs?

Response – G &A is not authorized on Travel and Mileage line items. G&A will only be applied to the labor CLINs.

14) Proposal Instructions, Volume I, Tab C states that Section B should be completed fully. Please clarify if any price should be included for No. 0600 Surge Support EOD Services at this time.

Response – No price should be proposed for CLIN 0600 – Surge Support EOD Services.

15) Should Item No. 0700 be added to the “Pricing Schedule” attachment?

Response – No. Cost for Contractor Manpower Report (CMR) should not be added to Technical Exhibit D – Pricing Spreadsheet.

16) Should Item No. 0700 be added to the “Contract Line Item Totals”?

Response – Cost for Contractor Manpower Report (CMR) may be added to Contract Line Item Totals. If offerors propose cost for Contractor Manpower Report (CMR) it should be clearly identified on TAB C, Section B.

17) Should the revenue from the sale of scrap metal be proposed as a cost reduction? If so can the client provide historical data?

Response – Revenue from the sale of scrap metal will be documented and applied as a credit to the Government for labor cost on the following month.

18) Part 1, Clause 1.6.4 – states that “a base number of overtime hours will be built into the firm fixed price”. Please provide those overtime hours by labor category.

Response – Technical Exhibit B – Projected Workload Data contains all projected working hours.

19) Will adjustments be made to account for excess overtime hours incurred over the base number included in the firm fixed price?

Response – No. Hours in excess of the projected working hours will be supported by the Surge Support EOD Services Task Order.

20) Please provide historical information on miles driven so that the offeror can better estimate fuel costs.

Response – Travel and mileage cost for TDY are provided by the Government. See “Travel and Mileage CLINs. Offerors shall propose cost for day-to-day local travel in the performance of this contract as an ODC in the Labor CLINs. Day-to-day local travel is travel that does not meet the definition of TDY travel (e.g. use the JTR).

21) SF 1449 Continuation Sheet, CLIN 0001 Phase In states Contractor shall have personnel on board during the 30 day phase in period. Please clarify if all contractor personnel shall be on site the entire 30 days? Also shall all equipment, materials, etc. be available at during this time?

Response – Only a few management shall be on board during phase-in. Full performance and full manning will not be necessary until day 1 following the 30 day phase in. Offeror shall propose personnel and equipment cost necessary to prevent any decrease in productivity or possible negative impact on service during phase-in.

22) SF 1449 Continuation Sheet, CLINs 0100, 0200, 0300, 0400, and 0500 states contractor shall furnish all tools, labor, transportation, materials, supplies, and equipment (to include maintenance and fuel where required) unless specified as government furnished to perform all work in accordance with the attached performance work statement (PWS). Government Furnished Property in Part III on page 47 states The Contractor will have access to office space with minimal office furniture on main post. A fenced yard with one shed and one office/bathroom for metals processing is available on the range for Contractor usage. The main post office space is large enough to accommodate nine (9) Contractor employees with enough space to support vehicle maintenance. Please clarify what “minimal office furniture” includes, i.e., desk, chairs, computers, etc. Also is it correct to assume any required office costs such as internet, etc. also be included within each of the above mentioned CLINs.

Response – There is office furniture available for 9 personnel on main post, it is government furniture. Office furniture is not considered Government furnished Equipment. The Government will provide computers in the performance of this requirement. Government computers are required to access the Government net. The range residue yard also has government furniture in it.

For planning purposes minimal office furniture means desk, chairs, and computers.

23) Exhibit D Pricing Schedule – please clarify what is to be included in the fully loaded rate. Is the fully loaded rate also to include all equipment, ODCs, materials, supplies, program management, tools, etc. in addition to indirect rates and fee so that the fully loaded rates multiplied by productive hours equals the CLIN amount to be entered in SF1449 Continuation Section B?

Response – Your fully loaded labor rate on Technical Exhibit D – Pricing Spreadsheet should include such things as: Fringe Benefits, G&A, Health & Welfare, FICA, FUTA, SUTA and Workman’s Compensation. It does not include such things as: equipment, material, supplies and tools.

The price on your TAB C, schedule B shall include all cost (i.e. labor, ODC, material, supplies, program management, tools etc). Once again offerors should not propose costs for CLIN 0600 Surge Support.

24) CLINs 0100, 0200, 0300, 0400, and 0500 – please clarify if haz pay (4% and 8%) should be included in the fixed price, and if so, at what percentage of the hours?

Response – Hazardous pay, if the contractor feels is applicable, should be captured on CLINs 0100, 0200, 0300, 0400, and 0500. The labor rates need to commensurate with the work being done and at the level identified.

25) Technical Exhibit 2 Projected Workload includes hours for the Sr UXO Supervisor and Management Analyst at 1,880 (1FTE) each. The hours for the non-exempt positions are not multiples of 1,880 hours. Based on the estimated hours provided, can we assume the non-exempt employees are not dedicated full time to this contract?

Response – The working hours on Technical Exhibit B are the yearly hours the Government anticipates based upon historical and projected workload data. How you decide to work your people to support the projected working hours is entirely up to you and your businesses practices. No assumptions should be made based upon the number of working hours.

26) The contract type is Fixed Price, IDIQ. Since IDIQ is “indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity”, is it correct that the Fixed Price is up to the Projected Workload hours provided in Technical Exhibit B? How are hours provided in excess of the fixed price reimbursed?

Response – Offerors are to propose a fixed price based upon the projected workload data in Technical Exhibit B and the information in the “Travel & Mileage” CLINs. Work over and above that of the projected workload and travel & mileage will be supported with a “Surge” Task Order (CLIN 0600). The work will be approved and the price fixed per the rates proposed in Technical Exhibit D – Pricing Spreadsheet at the time of need.

27) What is the condition of the equipment? What is the time allotted for replacement?

Response –This contract has no Government provided equipment. Per the solicitation the offeror shall, “provide a detailed description of the equipment that will be used in the performance of this contract.” The offeror shall also describe the age and condition of the equipment they will use. In addition the offeror shall also describe/ discuss their approach to providing the equipment necessary to satisfy this requirement.

28) Can the Government provide historical information on the types and amounts of range debris cleared and the amount of material recycled along with a summary of the savings the Government received from the sale of the scrap from the previous contract?

Response – For the last 5 years, an estimated amount of over 2 million pounds has been recycled in the form of aluminum, iron, wire, gold plated items, high temp alloy, shredded brass, and copper from shredded submunitions to name a few types of metals that are recycled. Over 200,000 lbs went into the landfill. It is not the same year after year and depends on the mission schedule and the types of missions for that particular year.

29) Are details available regarding demilitarization related equipment that is provided as Government Furnished Equipment (GFE)?

Response – This contract has no Government Furnished Property/ Equipment.

30) How will the Government handle additional equipment that may be required above and beyond the list provided in Technical Exhibit 2? In particular, will the Government authorize a contract modification to cover the costs (acquisition and maintenance) of additional equipment that may be required above and beyond the equipment list presented?

Response – Offerors are expected to provide all tools, labor, supervision, transportation, materials, supplies, and equipment to perform all work in connection with this requirement. The listing in Technical Exhibit B is equipment typically used but is not all inclusive. For equipment that is unique and specific to a particular tasking (and is not used on a day to day basis) not included in the fixed price portion of the contract will be evaluated and negotiated on each individual task order known as Surge Support.

31) Please provide a list of incumbent staff eligible for right of first refusal under 52.222-17 including at a minimum the individual's labor category, conformed Occupation Code and original date of service required to be used for the purpose of determining leave benefits under Service Contract Act (SCA) to allow bidders to accurately assess the cost of providing services with the incumbent staff should the successful contractor will be required to hire and compensate the existing staff in accordance with the SCA.

Response – The list of incumbent staff eligible for right of first refusal will be provided to the successful offeror but not prior to contract award per FAR 52.222-17(c)(2).

32) Are demolition explosives and other demolition materials provided by the Government? Does the Government provide on-site explosives magazines and vehicles equipped to transport explosives per DOT and DOD guidelines?

Response – The government provides demolition explosives. As stated in the PWS, 5.5.1.8, the government provides 2 GSA vehicles for explosive hauling. Sometimes explosives will be delivered but when that can’t happen then the GSA vehicles will be used to haul explosives. They are set up for that purpose.

33) The CLINS for EOD Support (base and option years) states that “the contractor shall propose price in accordance with the hours identified in technical exhibit 2 – Projected Workload Data” the CLIN further states that the usage and tracking of overtime (OT) support if needed is outlined in section 5.6.3 of the PWS. However, Section 5.6.3 of the PWS states that overtime shall be tracked and reported monthly and “OT beyond what has been included into the firm fixed price labor portion of the contract is not anticipated.” This suggests that a portion of those hours in Technical Exhibit 2 are OT hours? If so, can the Government provide a breakout and/or clarify how many OT hours for each labor category should be included into the costs for providing EOD support?

Response – A portion of the working hours identified in Technical Exhibit B may or may not be supported by overtime. The decision to use overtime or employ more personnel to cover the hours is a business decision of the offeror.

34) The solicitation states on Page 26 – “To receive consideration for award the Offeror shall possess a Secret facility clearance and have the ability to obtain a TOP Secret facility clearance with Government sponsorship”. Will the Government consider an offeror to be eligible for award that has an Interim Secret Facility Security Clearance in place?

Response – No. To receive consideration for award the Offeror shall possess a Secret facility clearance and have the ability of obtain a TOP Secret facility clearances with Government sponsorship.

35) PWS 3.4, Government Furnished Equipment, There is no GFE listed in section 3.4 of the PWS. The following GFE is assigned to the current contract:-Desktop Computers for access to government network. -Computer monitors –Printer -Sprint Cell Phones (Approved for WSMR use) -Portable and Handheld Range Radios (with approved frequencies assigned). -Base Station Radio consoles. (with approved frequencies assigned) -RTR4 Portable Digital XRAY System. -Mosler 4 drawer Security Safe -Screen Machine/Conveyor -13HP Honda 30gal Air Compressor -Pettibone Forklift. Is it the government’s intent not to issue these items on this contract? If so, how will our personnel access the government computer network? Note: Paragraph 1.6.9 of the PWS states that contractors shall not connect non-government computers to the government network.

Response – Computers will be provided but those are not considered Government Furnished Equipment. The forklift will no longer be on the GFE list. You need to provide your own cell phones. Radios are not considered GFE and will be provided. XRay belongs to the government and not the contractor. The contractor must have what they need in place to meet the needs of the PWS.

36) Will WSMR assign us frequencies for radios we purchase?

Response – Radios will be provided but they are not considered GFE. They are still owned and operated with approved frequency by the government.

37) What cellphone or cellphone carriers are authorized on WSMR Ranges?

Response – You may use any carrier you would like. Cell phones don’t work in all areas on the range no matter what carrier you use. Best choices are Verizon (best on Main Post), followed by Sprint (best Up Range).

38) Technical Exhibit B - The last sentence of Exhibit B states that no diesel fuel is available on WSMR. The current contract allows use of the government diesel fuel on-board WSMR. The government invoices the contractor monthly and the contractor pays for all fuel that is used. Additionally, the contractor utilizes this system to accurately account for mileage which allows WSMR to pass on costs to its range customers for reimbursement. If contractor is not allowed to utilize diesel fuel onboard WSMR this will create a fuel logistics problem which would unnecessarily increase costs and mileage. Will the government allow the contractor to continue to purchase diesel fuel from WSMR?

Response – The offeror shall provide their own fuel in the performance of this contract. The Government will not provide fuel to the contractor. The contractor should consider non diesel vehicles, unleaded is available at the AAFES gas station on Main Post. This contract no longer has access to Government fuel. Do NOT assume what other contracts have done in the past, please read the PWS. If the contractor has to have diesel fuel, then they must provide a double wall tank as well as secondary containment. They shall also have and will have an environmental plan with inspections performed on a regular basis, as an example.

39) Technical Exhibit B - Projected Equipment Data states: The following is a list of equipment typically used in the performance of this requirement that is not provided by government: Is this list of equipment all-inclusive?

Response – No. This list is not all inclusive. The contractor may at time need equipment over and above that typically used. The cost for that equipment will negotiated as part of the surge requirement.

40) Spills, In reviewing the PWS, the intent and requirement of this section is understood, however there are concerns with competing priorities, scheduling and equipment unknowns. We assume EOD, Recovery, Range Clearance, and Range Residue mission operations take priority. Typically, this operation took place during our EOD Recovery operations of a mission we were supporting. This language is a little broader and could be mis-interpreted. We could easily have a situation where our backhoe is being utilized in support of an active mission and a spill event occurs elsewhere on WSMR. How will the government determine tasking priority for this type of event if the event is not associated with the mission being supporting at the time?

Response –Spills and environmental cleanup is a part of this contract and occurs on a regular basis in support of the test mission. It is the responsibility of the contractor to support these events and schedule as required. Sections 5.1.9.8 and 5.7.1 of the PWS were revised to provide more clarification.

41) Will the government clarify what is meant by “associated with test mission”?

Response – If this question is in reference to with 5.1.9.8, spills, then as it is stated. Associated with a test mission. In other words, there are requirements in this PWS that you will have to perform environmental cleanup when for example fuel spills from a QF4 or a running target. The offeror is responsible to clean that up.

42) Who is responsible to ensure cleanup meets environmental requirements?

Response – WSMR G3 Operations office will work with the contractor to ensure the cleanup standards are met.

43) Section 3 (C) Table 2 – Page 20, Volume Page Count - The page limit for Volume 1: General is 15 pages. The SF 1449 and Continuation Sheets, if completed as included in the RFP, is 15 pages, leaving no page allocation for Reps and Certs or Exceptions.

Response – The page limitation for Volume 1 – General was changed in amendment 0001 from “15” to “N/A” meaning the volume no longer has a page limit.

44) SF1449, ClIN details - In CLIN details for CLINs 0101, 0201, 0301, 0401, and 0501, there is reference to mileage being included in the costs of the FFP amount. Currently on the contract, diesel fuel is purchased at WSMR and billed to the Government. Therefore, it is appearing to double charge the Government. Will the Government consider increasing the page count or removing the SF1449 and Continuation Sheets from the page count for this volume?

Response – In this follow-on contract securing fuel is the responsibility of the contractor. The Government will not provide fuel in the performance of this contract.

45) SF 1449, CLIN details, In CLIN details for CLINs 0100, 0200, 0300, 0400, and 0500, there is a reference to the contractor crediting the Government each month for the sale of scrap metal and applying the credit to the Surge Support costs (CLIN 0600). Per Section 5.7.1, Surge Missions, the additional work will not be priced in the initial contract. Is it the Government’s intention to have the contractor hold all of the scrap sale credits until a Task Order is issued under 0600 at which time the contractor will apply the credits against the negotiated price for the surge work?

Response – No. That was the Governments intent but it is no longer the Governments intent. There was a recent change and it is now the Governments intent to have credits from scrap metal sales applied to the labor costs for the following month.

46) Section 3 (C) Proposal Instructions 2. Proposal Content (c) Volume III – Past Performance Volume Page 23, 4.Submission Requirements, The page limit for Volume 3: Past Performance Factor is specified for each reference (3 pages per reference). The submission requirements indicate a number of items that need to be included as well (summary page, org structure change history). Are there page limitations on the additional items?

Response – The page limitations for Past Performance remain in effect at three (3) pages per reference used. The limitation includes any and all additional items per reference.

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Unexploded Ordnance/Explosive Ordnance Disposal Support Services White Sands Missile Range, NM

Part 1

General Information

1. General: This is a non-personnel services contract to provide Unexploded Ordnance (UXO)/Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Services. As such, the Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. All personnel engaged in performing the services under this contract shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

1.1. Description of Services/Introduction: The work to be performed under this contract consists of furnishing all tools, labor, supervision, transportation, materials, supplies, and equipment, unless specified as government furnished, to perform all work in connection with implementing the range residue, recovery, range clearance and mission support for explosive ordnance at White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), New Mexico. The work includes explosive materials and component identification, explosive free certification, blow-in-place procedures for range clearance, daily mission support, and the segregation of explosive components from range residue and the demilitarization and recycling of same. Example of debris include military munitions, commercial explosive products and devices, rockets and missiles including propellants and warheads, missile payloads and components, soldier training support, bomb drops, manned and drone target aircraft and missiles. The work under this contract must abide by regulations including Department of Defense (DoD) and Army regulations, Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Department of Transportation (DOT) and local, State regulations and permits.

1.2. Background: Between 1982 and 1998 range recovery took place but was taken to one scrap yard that mixed range and industrial debris/scrap metal. In 2000, the debris in this yard was separated into range scrap and industrial scrap. From then on those two processes have been separated. This contract is for the range scrap metal/debris only. Since October 2001, WSMR has had a contract to perform range residue explosive free certifications, range scrap demilitarization and recycling, range clearance and range recovery. The assigned military explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) unit supporting the mission left in 2006 and that portion has been contracted since.

1.3. Objectives: The objective of this contract is to support the daily mission of explosive ordnance clearance and disposal by providing highly trained individuals in explosive ordnance clearance and disposal.

1.4. Scope: The Contractor shall ensure the safety of individuals on the range before, during and after a mission. Additionally, range clean-up, clearance and recovery will take place as soon as practicable after a mission. The goal is to support the range customer by providing excellent UXO/EOD services, seamless coordination, and finally preparing the necessary documentation following all Federal, State, and Installation regulations.

1.5. Period of Performance: The period of performance will be for five (5) years from date of award.

1.6. General Information

1.6.1. Quality Control: A Quality Control Plan (QCP) identifies potential and actual problem areas in executing requirements of the contract as specified and results in corrective action throughout the life of the contract. The Contractor shall develop and maintain an effective quality control program to ensure services are performed in accordance with this PWS. 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 work complies with the requirement of the contract. The QCP shall be provided to the Contracting Officer (KO) within 30 days of award. Changes to the QCP shall be submitted to the KO for review and acceptance not less than five (5) duty days prior to the effective date of change. The Government will make a final review and acceptance of the QCP and any subsequent changes. The basic tenet of this plan is that the Contractor is responsible for quality. All methods, procedures, and forms shall support this concept. The Contractor’s QCP shall do the following:

1.6.1.1. Be structured so the individual responsible for the Quality Control process is independent from any other parts of the Contractor’s organization.

1.6.1.2. Allow for direct coordination between the Government and the Contractor’s top management.

1.6.1.3. Address overall project management and administration.

1.6.1.4. Be a comprehensive program to plan and deliver quality services to the Government.

1.6.1.5. Cover all services described in this contract; prioritize services, and concentrate on the most important services.

1.6.1.6. Describe a method, acceptable to the Government, for identifying deficiencies in quality of service performed under this contract, before the level of performance becomes unacceptable, and describes process for corrective actions, without relying on Government direction.

1.6.1.7. Establish an inspection plan, covering all services required by this contract. The plan shall specify areas to be inspected on a scheduled or unscheduled basis, and the title of the individual who shall perform the inspection.

1.6.1.8. Contain specific quality control techniques for contract services. The quality control methods shall be comprehensive, and adaptable to the reporting systems of the QCP.

1.6.1.9. Include a customer feedback system to immediately correct validated complaints. As a minimum, the customer complaint system shall contain procedures, for the customer to file complaints with the Contractor. The system shall also include forms used by the customers, procedures for investigation of complaints, and methods of feedback to the customer and the Government. Feedback shall consist of actions taken, and the results. The customer feedback program shall be compatible with the reporting and communication systems of the QCP.

1.6.1.10. Require documentation of all Contractor Quality Control inspections and corrective actions taken. Results shall be maintained, by the Contractor, throughout the term of this contract. Inspection documents shall be made accessible to the KO or designated representative throughout the term of the contract.

1.6.1.11. Describe methods of direct, indirect, formal and informal communications with the Government regarding performance of the contract. The communications shall include regular and formal meetings with the Government. Informal communications shall be addressed immediately after formal communications in the QCP.

1.6.1.12. After acceptance of the QCP the Contractor shall receive the KO’s acceptance in writing of any proposed change to his Quality Control 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 (QASP). 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).

1.6.2.1. Government Observations: The Contractor shall provide access to Government owned facilities operated by the Contractor for inspection by any Government agency or individual authorized access by the KO. Government personnel will not interfere with Contractor performance of work prescribed by this contract.

1.6.3. Recognized Holidays: The following federal holidays are observed by the Government:

1.6.4. Hours of Operation: WSMR currently operates on a compressed work schedule. Currently, the government work schedule is 8 workdays of 9 hours each, 1 workday of 8 hours, and every other Friday off. However, the mission schedule dictates the support required for recovery and explosive ordnance support. Scheduling of missions is typically done 4 weeks out, but missions may be added at any time as required. A base number of overtime hours will be built into the firm fixed price. Work to be done using the overtime hours must be approved by the KO before they are worked. Communication with the Contractor’s Senior UXO (SUXO) Supervisor for after hour or emergency calls may be required for range UXO support. It will be determined if support is needed immediately or if it can wait until the next regular work day. Historically it has been necessary to respond to a range UXO about 5 times per year on the weekend. The Contractor shall respond to Intrusion Detection System (IDS) alarms at the Government Owned Contractor Operated Ammunition and Explosives (A&E) facility. Historically, this happens approximately two times per month.

1.6.5. Place of Performance: The work to be performed under this contract will be performed at WSMR, New Mexico. The primary area of performance shall be within the designated boundaries of WSMR and the northern and western call-up areas. However, up to 25 times per year support off the range is required such as at Fort Wingate, NM and Magdalena, NM. Temporary Duty (TDY) which when necessary will be stated in the task order, is required under this contract at locations required to support the mission. Some missions require TDY to Socorro, NM which is located at the northern end of the range. Road blocks and evacuations may occasionally impact the range support activities. The Contractor shall coordinate with WSMR Range Control for access to the range.

1.6.6. Type of Contract: The government will award a firm fixed price IDIQ type contract.

In addition to the changes otherwise authorized by the changes clause of this contract, should the Force Protection Condition (FPCON) at any individual facility or installation change, the Government may require changes in contractor security matters or processes.

1.6.7.1.1. Scheduling: Contractors should work closely with the KO and/or the COR who has access to the installation training schedule. Work/deliveries should be scheduled accordingly by the Contractor.

1.6.7.1.2. Exercises: Contractors may as part of the exercise be required to provide an accountability of personnel to the KO and/or the COR of numbers of employees on hand and locations.
