SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION H - SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

The following have been modified:

LOCAL CLAUSES

APPLICABLE WAGE RATES

a. This contract is principally for services but also requires a substantial and segregable amount of construction, alteration, renovation, painting or repair work. Contract installation support requirements, such as custodial and grass cutting services are subject to the Service Contract Act (SCA). Apply SCA clauses and minimum wage and fringe benefit requirements to all contract services for such maintenance and support work. Contract services covering construction, alteration, renovation, painting, and repair requirements (i.e. roof shingling, paving repairs, building structural repair, etc.) are subject to the Davis Bacon Act (DBA). Apply DBA clauses and minimum wage requirements to all contract services for construction, alteration, renovation, painting, or repairs to buildings or other works.

b. Some contract work may be characterized as either DBA painting/repairs or SCA maintenance. In those instances where the contract service requires construction trade skills (i.e. carpenter, plumber, painter, etc.) but it is unclear whether the work required is SCA maintenance or DBA painting/repairs, apply the following rules--

(1) Tasks which will require a total of 32 or more work-hours to perform shall be considered to be repair work subject to the DBA.

(2) Tasks which will require less than 32 work-hours to perform shall be considered to be maintenance subject to the

SCA.

(3) Painting work of 200 square feet or more to be performed under a task shall be considered to be subject to the DBA regardless of the total work-hours required.

c. Work tasks shall not be split to avoid application of the DBA. The determination of labor standards application shall be made before work begins on any such task.

SAFETY AND HEALTH REQUIREMENTS

(1) safeguard the public and Government personnel, property, materials, supplies, and equipment exposed to Contractor operations and activities;

(c) Whenever the Contracting Officer becomes aware of any noncompliance with these requirements or any condition which poses a serious or imminent danger to the health or safety of the public or Government personnel, the Contracting Officer shall notify the Contractor orally, with written confirmation, and request immediate initiation of corrective action. This notice, when delivered to the Contractor or the Contractor’s representative at the work site, shall be deemed sufficient notice of the noncompliance and that corrective action is required. After receiving the notice, the Contractor shall immediately take corrective action. If the Contractor fails or refuses to promptly take corrective action, the Contracting Officer may issue an order stopping all or part of the work until satisfactory corrective action has been taken. The Contractor shall not be entitled to any equitable adjustment of the contract price or extension of the performance schedule on any stop work order issued under this clause.

FIXED FEE

A, GENERAL

1. The Government contemplates award of a hybrid firm-fixed-price (FFP) contract with cost-plus-fixed-fee (CPFF) contract line item numbers (CLINs) as a result of this solicitation. The Contractor shall be paid a negotiated fee that is fixed at the inception of the contract for the CPFF CLINs.

2. The fixed fee represents a negotiated fee that is fixed at the inception of the contract and is only applicable to the cost plus technical provisions (TPs). The fixed fee does not vary with actual cost, but may be adjusted as a result of changes in the work to be performed under the contract. Per FAR 15.404-4 (c)(4)(i)(C), the fee shall not exceed 10 percent of the contract’s estimated cost, excluding fee.

3. The cost plus fixed fee portion of the contract is further defined as a “completion” form which describes the scope of work by stating a definite goal or target. This form of contract requires the contractor to complete and deliver the specified services within the estimated cost, if possible, as a condition for payment of the entire fixed fee. However, in the event the work cannot be completed within the estimated cost, the Government may require more effort without an increase in fee, provided the Government increases the estimated cost.

B. FIXED FEE

The following procedures will be used in payment of the fixed fee for performance during each contract year:

a. Payment of the fixed fee shall be made as specified in the Bid Schedule.

b. The fixed fee shall be invoiced with the monthly invoice. The fixed fee amount invoiced shall be calculated by multiplying the fixed fee percentage by the total of all of the cost CLINs included on the monthly invoice. Your invoice shall show the total fixed fee less the reserve percentage/amount as detailed in paragraph c below. Under no circumstances will the total fixed fee amount invoiced throughout the year exceed the total fixed fee amount agreed to at the time of the award of this contract, including any modifications hereto.

c. Fixed fee reserves, including amounts withheld and payment thereof, will be in accordance with FAR 52.216-8 Fixed Fee. The reserve shall not exceed (1) 15 percent of the total fixed fee or (2) $100,000, whichever is less.

PROVISIONS ON CONTRACTING OFFICER’S AUTHORITY

The contracting officer is the only person authorized to approve changes in any of the requirements under this contract, and notwithstanding any provisions contained elsewhere in this contract, the said authority remains solely with the contracting officer. In the event the contractor effects any such change at the direction of any person other than the contracting officer, the change will be considered to have been made without authority and no adjustment will be made in the contract price to cover any increase in costs incurred as a result thereof.

FOB DESTINATION

All work shall be accomplished on site and all materials to be furnished by the Contractor shall be delivered to the Government site of the work.

TECHNICAL DIRECTION

a. Technical Direction under this contract will be given to the Contractor by the Technical Representative of the Contracting Officer. Technical direction is defined as that process by which the Contractor receives guidance and approvals in his technical effort as it relates to an element of work or task solely within the existing requirements of the contract as a result of technical review of the Contractor's work by the Corps of Engineers project personnel.

b. Notwithstanding any of the provisions contained herein or elsewhere in this contract, the Corps of Engineers project personnel are not authorized to direct the Contractor in any manner changing the requirements of the contract. The Contracting Officer shall be the only individual authorized to redirect the effort or in any way amend any of the terms of this contract.

2. Rules, regulations, directives, and requirements which are issued by DA Military Command Authorities under their responsibility for good order, administration, and security are applicable to all personnel who enter the installation, or who travel on Government transportation. This is not to be construed or interpreted to establish any degree of Government control which is inconsistent with a non-personal service contract.

d. Inapplicability of Employee Benefits: This contract does not create employer-employee relationship. Accordingly, entitlements and benefits applicable to such regulations do not apply.

RELEASE OF NEWS INFORMATION

No news release (including photographs, films, public announcements or denial of confirmation of same) on any part of the subject matter of this contract or any phase of any program hereunder shall be made by the Contractor without the prior written approval of the Contracting Officer.

c. The Contracting Officer may direct the Contractor to remove, and the Contractor shall remove, any employee from an assignment to perform services under this contract for reasons of security or misconduct. Replacement will be at the Contractor's expense and not chargeable to the Government.

There are two aspects to the past performance information to be submitted: (a) Relevant Company Effort and (b) Quality of Past Performance.

Where the word "project” and/or “effort(s)" appears in RFP Sections L and M, it is understood to mean an operation and maintenance (O&M) single contract(s). Examples of project effort submitted by Offeror may be projects performed for a State or Federal Government agency or for a commercial or private sector customer.

Where the word “recent” appears it is understood to mean an O&M type project for which the contract is 100% complete or for which the base year is 100% complete and the effort is being performed under the award of an option. All project examples are to have been completed or the effort being performed under a current option within six years (6) years of the RFP issue date.

“Relevant” past performance information is one indicator of an Offeror’s ability to perform the contract successfully. Where the word “relevant” appears it is understood to mean that a single project effort submitted is similar and logically connected to the context of this solicitation in terms of type of scope (dollar value, size, project type) and magnitude of effort and complexities as the work described in this solicitation. The description of work is found in RFP Section C DESCRIPTIONS/WORK STATEMENT TECHNICAL PROVISIONS (TP’s).

2.1.1 (a) RELEVANT COMPANY EFFORT. The Offeror is to submit no more than five (5) examples of its most “recent” and “relevant” project efforts performed as a prime contractor to demonstrate its company’s accomplishments on contracts similar to the effort required in this solicitation. If the Offeror submits more than five projects, only the first five projects shall be evaluated. For each “recent” and “relevant” project example, the Offeror shall furnish the information specified below. If the Offeror is submitting “task order type projects”, each single task order project shall be submitted on a separate project data sheet. Do not combine tasks orders and present them as one entire project. As a minimum, provide the following information:

(1) Company Name

(2) Name of Project

(3) Location of Project

(4) Owner

(5) General Scope of Project/Contract as it relates to this solicitation

(6) Your Role on this Contract (Prime, Subcontractor, Joint Venture Partner) and the type of effort your company self-performed.

(7) Contract Type: (for example Firm Fixed-Price, Cost Plus Fixed Fee, Cost Plus Award Fee, Hybrid)

(8) Contract Award Date (Provide Month and Year); Completion Date of the Base

Year:(Provide Month/Year);

(9) If this contract is being performed under an option year the completion date of the current option being performed: (Provide Month/Year)

(10) Termination or Liquidated Damages Information; Comments regarding any known performance deemed unacceptable to the customer or not in accordance with the contract terms and conditions.

(b) QUALITY OF PAST PERFORMANCE.

1) The Offeror shall submit evidence of the quality of its past performance on projects submitted in paragraph 2.2.1 (a). The Offeror shall provide a completed contractor performance evaluation, whether annual or final, found in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (www.ppirs.gov). If a completed contractor performance evaluation does not exist in PPIRS (example, non-U.S. Government projects), the Offeror shall provide a completed Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) (Attachment 1). If, at time of evaluation, a completed contractor performance evaluation exists in PPIRS that conflicts with a submitted PPQ, the completed contractor performance evaluation will govern.

2) Any past performance surveys/assessment/evaluation forms, other than PPIRS or the PPQ Form provided at the end of this section, are unacceptable submissions by the Offeror to evidence the quality of its past performance and will not be considered or evaluated.

3) Offerors shall not incorporate PPQs by reference that were previously submitted for other RFPs. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation. While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the Offeror.

4) If an Offeror has been required to take corrective action for any substandard performance, experienced other performance problems such as cost overruns, extended performance periods, numerous warranty calls, etc., the Offeror should explain the circumstances and the corrective actions taken.

5) If a client will only provide completed PPQ’s and/or PPIRS directly to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District, then ensure the client submits the PPQ and/or PPIRS before the proposal due date using the following electronic mailing address:

nicalus.a.abner@usace.army.mil PPQ’s and/or PPIRS received after the proposal receipt date will not be considered timely and will not be included in the Offeror’s proposal.

2.1.1.1 Joint Venture Submission Requirements. Offerors submitting proposals as a Joint Venture (JV) shall obtain a DUNS number and be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) as the offering Joint Venture. The Offeror must provide up to five (5) “recent”, “relevant” projects performed by the JV that reflect the JV’s ability to perform the work required in this solicitation as required by Paragraph 2.1.1 subparagraphs (a) and (b).

2.1.1.2 If the Offeror cannot provide a sufficient number of projects as the JV to meet the requirement, the Offeror must provide those “recent”, “relevant” projects that it has performed as the JV, and then supplement the record with additional “recent”, “relevant” projects performed by each JV member in their individual capacities. In such instance, each JV member must satisfy the requirement, to include any performed as the JV.

2.1.1.3 If the JV has no “recent”, “relevant” projects performed by the JV, then each member of the JV must provide up to five (5) “recent”, “relevant” projects performed by the JV member that reflect the JV member’s ability to perform the work required in this solicitation as required by Paragraph 2.1.1 subparagraphs (a) and (b).

2.1.2 Verification: The Government reserves the right to verify the past performance record of cited projects or other recent projects not submitted by reviewing the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), or other Government appraisal systems or to interview owner or references. The Government may check any or all cited references to verify supplied information. An Offeror will be afforded the opportunity to reply to or explain adverse performance information which the Offeror has not previously had an opportunity to address.

2.1.3 Key Personnel and Key Subcontractors: Key Personnel and Key Subcontractor experience and past performance information is not a submittal requirement for this factor under this TAB. If their information is submitted, it will not be evaluated. Company past performance information and/or effort demonstrated by another corporate entity other than the offering entity signed on the SF 33 will not be considered in the evaluation.

2.2 VOLUME I TAB-B: Technical Approach. Do not include cost information in the technical approach narratives. In a narrative form, as a minimum, submit your company’s technical approach to performing the Technical Provisions (TPs) listed below. Your technical approach is not required for all TPs identified in Section C of the Solicitation. However, this is no indication that they are not important to the RFP and are to be included in the performance of the contract. Technical approach narratives may be enhanced with charts, tables, or any logical means of conveying the proposed technical approach the Offeror will use to accomplish a TP.
