Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS)

SERVICES, SYSTEMS, OPERATIONS SUPPORT, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY CONTRACTS:

"Contractor Performance Evaluations”

In accordance with the provisions of Subpart 42.15 (Contractor Performance Information) of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), contractor’s performance shall be evaluated throughout the performance of the contract. The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) follows the procedures outlined in Army Federal Regulation Supplement (AFARS) 5142.15. For services, systems, operations support and information technology and at the thresholds listed in AFARS, USACE will evaluate contractor’s performance and prepare a performance report using the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), which is a web-based system. After an evaluation (interim or final) is written up by the USACE, the contractor will have the ability to access, review and comment on the evaluation for a period of 30 days. Accessing and using CPARS requires specific software, called PKI certification, which is installed on the user’s computer. The certification is a Department of Defense requirement and was implemented to provide security in electronic transactions. The certification software could cost approximately $110 - $125 per certificate per year and is purchased from an External Certificate Authorities (ECA) vendor. Current information about the PKI certification process and for contacting vendors can be found on the web site: http://www.cpars.csd.disa.mil/. If the Contractor wishes to participate in the performance evaluation process, access to CPARS and PKI certification is the sole responsibility of the Contractor.

5.

Government Property Management

Government property is all property (both real and personal) owned by or leased to the Government or acquired by the Government under the terms of the contract to include both Government-furnished and contractor-acquired property. All contractor-acquired property for which the Government pays full purchase price as a direct charge on the contract is Government property. The contractor is directly responsible and accountable for all Government property in accordance with the requirements of this base contract/individual Task Orders and FAR 52.245-1. This includes Government property in the possession or control of a subcontractor.

6.

Government requirements for insurance for Task Orders issued under this base contract are described in the following sections of the FAR:

a. FAR 28.3

Insurance

b. FAR 28.306

Insurance Under Fixed Price Contracts

c. FAR 28.307

d. FAR 52.228-5 Insurance – Work on a Government Installation

e. FAR 52.228-7 Insurance –Liability to Third Persons Any cancellation or material change adversely affecting the Government's interest shall not be effective for (1) such period as the laws of the State in which this contract is to be performed or (2) until 30 days after the insurer or the Contractor gives written notice to the Contracting Officer, whichever period is longer.

7. Time

Time for acceptance by the Government of Proposals: All offerors submitting proposals in response to this request or request for proposal for a Task Order agree that the Government shall have not less than 365 calendar days to accept any proposal, after the date indicated for receipt of proposals. In the event the Government cannot award a contract within this 365-day period, any or all proposers may, at their option, extend the date for acceptance of their proposal or may resubmit their price proposals."

8.

Offeror’s Proposal

The Offeror’s entire proposal shall be incorporated into the contract award; If a discrepancy occurs between the offerors proposal and the RFP, the RFP holds precedence.

(See 29 CFR 4.174)

THE OCCUPATIONS WHICH HAVE NUMBERED FOOTNOTES IN PARENTHESES RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING:

1) COMPUTER EMPLOYEES: Under the SCA at section 8(b), this wage determination does not apply to any employee who individually qualifies as a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional employee as defined in 29 C.F.R. Part 541. Because most Computer System Analysts and Computer Programmers who are compensated at a rate not less than $27.63 (or on a salary or fee basis at a rate not less than $455 per week) an hour would likely qualify as exempt computer professionals, (29 C.F.R. 541.

400) wage rates may not be listed on this wage determination for all occupations within those job families. In addition, because this wage determination may not list a wage rate for some or all occupations within those job families if the survey data indicates that the prevailing wage rate for the occupation equals or exceeds

$27.63 per hour conformances may be necessary for certain nonexempt employees. For example, if an individual employee is nonexempt but nevertheless performs duties within the scope of one of the Computer Systems Analyst or Computer Programmer occupations for which this wage determination does not specify an SCA wage rate, then the wage rate for that employee must be conformed in accordance with the conformance procedures described in the conformance note included on this wage determination.

Additionally, because job titles vary widely and change quickly in the computer industry, job titles are not determinative of the application of the computer professional exemption. Therefore, the exemption applies only to computer employees who satisfy the compensation requirements and whose primary duty consists of:

(1) The application of systems analysis techniques and procedures, including consulting with users, to determine hardware, software or system functional specifications;

(2) The design, development, documentation, analysis, creation, testing or modification of computer systems or programs, including prototypes, based on and related to user or system design specifications;

(3) The design, documentation, testing, creation or modification of computer programs related to machine operating systems; or

(4) A combination of the aforementioned duties, the performance of which requires the same level of skills. (29 C.F.R. 541.400).

2) AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS AND WEATHER OBSERVERS - NIGHT PAY & SUNDAY PAY: If you work at night as part of a regular tour of duty, you will earn a night differential and receive an additional 10% of basic pay for any hours worked between 6pm and 6am.

If you are a full-time employed (40 hours a week) and Sunday is part of your regularly scheduled workweek, you are paid at your rate of basic pay plus a Sunday premium of 25% of your basic rate for each hour of Sunday work which is not overtime

(i.e. occasional work on Sunday outside the normal tour of duty is considered overtime work).

HAZARDOUS PAY DIFFERENTIAL: An 8 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position that represents a high degree of hazard when working with or in close proximity to ordinance, explosives, and incendiary materials. This includes work such as screening, blending, dying, mixing, and pressing of sensitive ordance, explosives, and pyrotechnic compositions such as lead azide, black powder and photoflash powder. All dry-house activities involving propellants or explosives.

Demilitarization, modification, renovation, demolition, and maintenance operations on sensitive ordnance, explosives and incendiary materials. All operations involving regrading and cleaning of artillery ranges.

A 4 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position that represents a low degree of hazard when working with, or in close proximity to ordance, (or employees possibly adjacent to) explosives and incendiary materials which involves potential injury such as laceration of hands, face, or arms of the employee engaged in the operation, irritation of the skin, minor burns and the like; minimal damage to immediate or adjacent work area or equipment being used.

All operations involving, unloading, storage, and hauling of ordance, explosive, and incendiary ordnance material other than small arms ammunition. These differentials are only applicable to work that has been specifically designated by the agency for ordance, explosives, and incendiary material differential pay.

** UNIFORM ALLOWANCE **

If employees are required to wear uniforms in the performance of this contract

(either by the terms of the Government contract, by the employer, by the state or local law, etc.), the cost of furnishing such uniforms and maintaining (by laundering or dry cleaning) such uniforms is an expense that may not be borne by an employee where such cost reduces the hourly rate below that required by the wage determination. The Department of Labor will accept payment in accordance with the following standards as compliance:

The contractor or subcontractor is required to furnish all employees with an adequate number of uniforms without cost or to reimburse employees for the actual cost of the uniforms. In addition, where uniform cleaning and maintenance is made the responsibility of the employee, all contractors and subcontractors subject to this wage determination shall (in the absence of a bona fide collective bargaining agreement providing for a different amount, or the furnishing of contrary affirmative proof as to the actual cost), reimburse all employees for such cleaning and maintenance at a rate of $3.35 per week (or $.67 cents per day). However, in those instances where the uniforms furnished are made of "wash and wear" materials, may be routinely washed and dried with other personal garments, and do not require any special treatment such as dry cleaning, daily washing, or commercial laundering in order to meet the cleanliness or appearance standards set by the terms of the Government contract, by the contractor, by law, or by the nature of the work, there is no requirement that employees be reimbursed for uniform maintenance costs.

The duties of employees under job titles listed are those described in the

"Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations", Fifth Edition, April 2006, unless otherwise indicated. Copies of the Directory are available on the Internet. A links to the Directory may be found on the WHD home page at http://www.dol.

gov/esa/whd/ or through the Wage Determinations On-Line (WDOL) Web site at http://wdol.gov/.

REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL CLASSIFICATION AND WAGE RATE {Standard Form

1444 (SF 1444)}

Conformance Process:

The Contracting Officer shall require that any class of service employee which is not listed herein and which is to be employed under the contract (i.e., the work to be performed is not performed by any classification listed in the wage determination), be classified by the contractor so as to provide a reasonable relationship (i.e., appropriate level of skill comparison) between such unlisted classifications and the classifications listed in the wage determination. Such conformed classes of employees shall be paid the monetary wages and furnished the fringe benefits as are determined. Such conforming process shall be initiated by the contractor prior to the performance of contract work by such unlisted class(es) of employees. The conformed classification, wage rate, and/or fringe benefits shall be retroactive to the commencement date of the contract. {See Section 4.6 (C)(vi)}

When multiple wage determinations are included in a contract, a separate SF 1444 should be prepared for each wage determination to which a class(es) is to be conformed.

The process for preparing a conformance request is as follows:

1) When preparing the bid, the contractor identifies the need for a conformed occupation(s) and computes a proposed rate(s).

2) After contract award, the contractor prepares a written report listing in order proposed classification title(s), a Federal grade equivalency (FGE) for each proposed classification(s), job description(s), and rationale for proposed wage rate(s), including information regarding the agreement or disagreement of the authorized representative of the employees involved, or where there is no authorized representative, the employees themselves. This report should be submitted to the

Contracting Officer no later than 30 days after such unlisted class(es) of employees performs any contract work.

3) The Contracting Officer reviews the proposed action and promptly submits a report of the action, together with the agency's recommendations and pertinent information including the position of the contractor and the employees, to the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, for review. (See section 4.6(b)(2) of Regulations 29 CFR Part 4).

4) Within 30 days of receipt, the Wage and Hour Division approves, modifies, or disapproves the action via transmittal to the agency Contracting Officer, or notifies the Contracting Officer that additional time will be required to process the request.

5) The Contracting Officer transmits the Wage and Hour decision to the contractor.

6) The contractor informs the affected employees.

Information required by the Regulations must be submitted on SF 1444 or bond paper.

When preparing a conformance request, the "Service Contract Act Directory of

Occupations" (the Directory) should be used to compare job definitions to insure that duties requested are not performed by a classification already listed in the wage determination. Remember, it is not the job title, but the required tasks that determine whether a class is included in an established wage determination.

Conformances may not be used to artificially split, combine, or subdivide classifications listed in the wage determination.

SECTION J, ATTACHMENT 3

ERS/LTRA SAMPLE PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK

1. INTRODUCTION:

1.1 General – This sample project is intended to illustrate a simple, straight-forward project to enable the government to evaluate offerors on cost realism.

1.2 Contract Type. Assume a Firm-Fixed-Price Task Order to perform the activities described in this Scope of Work. Assume no bonding will be required for this project.

2. LOCATION

The Superfund Site (Site) is located in an industrial area in Edison, Middlesex County, New Jersey.

3. SITE HISTORY

The site was used as an airplane engine maintenance shop. It was discovered that trichloroethylene (TCE) had been disposed through a leaking sewer connection in the basement of the building over the many years of operations. Source removal occurred in 2005 including demolition of the building and associated structures. A pump and treat remedy has been constructed and operational for one year. The system includes source area extraction (two wells on-site). The downgradient plume is being allowed to naturally attenuate.

4. OPERATING CONDITIONS

4.1 Physical Setting and Climate: The site is located along a major thoroughfare and is accessed by a gravel road from the major thoroughfare.

4.2 Treatment Plant: System includes equalization tank, bag filters, air stripper (5 tray horizontal stripper), liquid phase carbon polishing, no off gas treatment required. One acre parcel is enclosed by security fence, building is block construction single story building. Site maintenance is required (repairing fence, driveway, mowing grass, etc…).

System has maintained 95% availability since completion of startup. Operator attention is required for 8 hours per week to perform regular maintenance. The system can be operated remotely; however, it cannot be restarted remotely. Operators are required to attend to call outs within 2 hours or the next business day if the system shuts down outside of business hours. Unscheduled maintenance (responding to call outs) is estimated to be 40 hours per year. Utilities are $36,000 per year (phone, internet, electric).

4.3 Extraction System: Two extraction wells with 5 horsepower Variable Frequency Drive’s (VFDs) operating the pumps. Total flow is 120 gpm. Both extraction wells are 4 inch, 80 foot deep, the screen is set from 60 to 80 feet bgs and the pump is set at 70 feet.

4.4 Monitoring System: Twenty 2 inch Monitoring Wells at 80 feet total depth with 5 foot screens are located within 1 mile of the plant. Data exists for past 5 years and includes Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA) parameters, metals, and VOCs.

4.5 Surface Discharge: Treated water is discharged to an on-site stream. Assume all applicable permits have been obtained.

5. SITE CHARACTERIZATION

Plume extends three quarters of a mile downgradient. Source area concentrations are less than 200 ug/l with the 5 ug/l isopleths at three quarters of a mile from source area.

6. REMEDIAL ACTION SCOPE OF WORK

In general, the effort under this scope of work consists of operating and maintaining the pump and treat remedy. Tasks include developing Work Plans, assuming ownership of utility accounts, obtaining training from existing operator (30 days prior to acceptance the existing operator will provide 24 hours of on-job-training), performing monthly project updates, operating the plant for 12 months, transitioning to next operator at end of contract, perform plant/compliance sampling, perform MNA sampling, develop MNA evaluation at end of year.

Below is a compilation of assumptions and technical requirements for the offeror to consider in development of their cost estimate. Costs have been provided for several subcontract type items that the offeror should use in developing their estimate. The reason these costs are provided is to reduce the number of quotes offerors’ need to obtain for a project that is not real and to minimize the number of variables in the evaluation of cost realism.

· Each Submittal will include two submittals (draft and final). Submittals include Uniform Federal Policy - Quality Assurance Project Plan (UFP-QAPP), Health and Safety Plan, Transition Plan, Quality Control Plan, Staffing Plan,

7. COST

As discussed above, to minimize the need to obtain quotes and to eliminate some variables in the evaluation of cost realism, costs have been provided for some items of work. Offerors shall incorporate the costs provided below in the appropriate place within their estimate. Offerors shall complete the attached Bid Schedule and submit detailed backup for the estimated cost of each Bid Item. The “Measurement and Payment Section” provides a description of what should be included in each bid item. All provided costs below are prior to Prime Contractor mark-ups.

· The 12-month O&M period to occur within the 1st year of the contract.

· Utilities = $3,000 per month (no additional Prime Contractor mark-ups to be applied)

· Routine Operator (hours per week) = 8 (two 4 hour visits)

· Monitoring Well Rehabilitation (driller costs) = $3,500/well; one day per well

· Extraction Well Rehabilitation (driller costs) = $8,000/well; two days per well

· Reports Submitted in Draft, then Final

· One Liquid Phase Carbon Changeout per year

· Carbon vendor cost = $2.50/lb. Includes carbon delivery, change out, and disposal of spent carbon

· All analytical services provided by EPA laboratory (no contractor costs)

· Monthly Reports and subsequent Conference Call

· Low Flow Sampling for Monitoring Wells

· Plant/Compliance Sampling performed monthly includes 8 VOC samples, 1 metal, 1Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH)

8. MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT

Measurement and Payment shall be made as described under each Bid Item description.

8.1 Bid Item No. 1 – General Conitions

Work includes all of the items required by the SOW and base contract that is not explicitly covered under other bid items. Examples of this are the Contractor’s cost for insurance, fees, permits, and other similar expenses directly related to the work; project-dedicated supervisory staff and equipment; compliance with specified regulatory requirements; pre-construction and construction period planning, project schedule updates, periodic submittals, reporting, administration; and Contractor quality control. This item also includes work plan development and transition from the previous operator.

8.2 Bid Item No. 2 – Plant Operation and Maintenance Labor

Measurement for this unit price item will be made by 40-hour work week of labor completed.

Payment for Plant O&M Labor will be made at the unit bid price in the bidding schedule, for which price and payment will be full compensation for all labor required for one year of operation and maintenance of the treatment system. This item shall include, but not be limited to, operator labor, bag filters, costs to implement the occupational safety monitoring program and all incidentals not specifically mentioned in other BID ITEMS (e.g., office equipment and supplies, uniforms, operator training, grounds maintenance, etc.) .

8.3 Bid Item No. 3 – Liquid Phase Carbon
