MULTIPLE AWARD TASK ORDER CONTRACT (MATOC)

1.0 Introduction: This is a non-personal services regional MATOC acquisition utilizing performance-based task orders to provide Third Party Blind Validation Seeding and Advanced Geophysical Classification (AGC) Data Collection and Processing. The task orders under this solicitation will be Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts for Environmental Services in support of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Divisions and Districts and their customers. The resulting contract(s) may be used for work within the throughout the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii, the U.S. territories, Outlying areas as defined by FAR 2.101, Territorial waters, Kwajalein Island, Meck Island, Bikini Atoll, and Palau. The contracts awarded will include performance based, firm-fixed price features for a wide range of environmental services at various known or suspected Military Munitions Response Sites (MRS) and Hazardous and Toxic Waste (HTW) sites. The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform services identified in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) except for those items specified as Government furnished property and services. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

In order to be eligible to bid, the Contractor, or Subcontractor in charge of performing the work, must be accredited in accordance with the Department of Defense (DoD) Advanced Geophysical Classification Accreditation Program (DAGCAP). DAGCAP accreditation and AGC requirements shall be in compliance with the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) Policy Memo dated 11 April 2016 and the Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) AGC Policy Memo dated 6 January 2017.

Work shall be executed under performance-based task orders using performance work statements (PWS). A PWS structures all aspects of the task order around the purpose of the work to be performed and does not dictate how the work is to be accomplished. It is written to ensure that contractors are given the freedom to determine how to meet the Government's performance objectives. It maximizes contractor control of work processes and allows for innovation in approaching various work requirements. A PWS will emphasize performance that can be contractually defined so that the results of the contractor's effort can be measured in terms of technical and quality achievement, schedule progress, or cost performance. The goal of Performance Based Contracting (PBC) is to:

· Save money by reducing contract costs through the elimination of unnecessary effort, innovation by the contractor, and by reducing Government surveillance.

· Enable Government to shift its emphasis from processes to outputs.

· Hold contractors accountable for the end results while ensuring that contractors are given the freedom to determine how to meet Government's performance objectives.

Information provided by USACE on any site will be dependent on the current status of the site. Each task order will define the requirements for the contractor. The description of work stated herein provides a general understanding of the contractor functions to be performed. Individual task orders will contain the specific requirements.

Task Orders issued under this awarded contract will not include work that conflicts with the provisions of the Sikes Act or DoD Instruction 4715.03 or any existing cooperative agreements with agencies of individual State governments.

1.18.3 The Contractor will be requested to simply respond "yes" or "no" regarding potential interest in proposing on the Task Order Request for Proposal. If more than one Contractor responds "yes" to performing the requirement, a determination of whether and how to compete the Task Order between the responding Contractors will be made by the Contracting Officer, as further detailed in the following subparagraphs. If all Contractors respond "no," the Contracting Officer may select a Contractor based on price and non-price related factors.

1.18.4 The Contracting Officer may make his/her determination regarding which Contractors are best suited for task order award based on the complexity, Contractors' skills base, past performance, and necessity and flexibility for fulfillment of guaranteed minimum amounts and ability to meet scheduled fieldwork timeframe. The Contracting Officer need not contact each Contractor before selecting an awardee for an individual task order if the Contracting Officer has sufficient information available to ensure fair consideration and best value to the Government. Accordingly, the Contracting Officer may make a task order award to a particular Contractor without further competition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Contractors will be given a fair opportunity to be considered for each task order in excess of $3,000.00 (per FAR 16.505).

1.18.5 In making selection of the awardee to receive a specific Task Order, the Contracting Officer will consider both 1) price; and 2) at least one non-price related factor which will be specific in the Task Order Request for Proposals.

The Contracting Officer may request additional information, including technical and price proposals, to assist in making the determination of the awardee. The exception to this procedure will be for task orders issued under $3,000.00.

1.18.6 If necessary, discussions regarding task order requirements may be held between prospective task order awardee(s) and the Contractor and the Contracting Officer's representatives to develop a mutual understanding of:

· Type and scope of work to be accomplished, including accuracy criteria.

· End product required by the Contracting Officer.

· Existing site conditions, survey control, and other available data.

· Schedule expectations in regards to field work.

· A fair and reasonable estimated cost to perform the work.

1.18.7 Time periods within which required work must be accomplished will be defined in each task order placed against the basic contract. Each task order will contain the agreed to scope of work / performance work statement, type(s) of services(s) to be performed, specific deliverable items, and the negotiated fixed price cost for performing the work.

1.18.8 To change task order requirements, a modification may be issued at any time prior to final payment of the task order by the Government.

The Contractor is not to assume any adjustments to the Task Order in any form, until or unless a modification is issued.

1.18.9 In the event an awardee loses their accreditation during the period of performance, the Government will not be liable for any costs associated with inability to perform the work. The Contracting Officer will not consider that particular awardee for task orders until accreditation is reacquired.

1.19 Safety:

1.19.1 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Safety and Health Requirements Manual, EM 385-1-1 and OSHA Requirements: The contractor will be required to comply with all pertinent provisions of the latest version of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Safety and Health Requirements Manual, EM 385-1-1, in effect on the date of the contract award.

OSHA standards are subject to change. It is the Contractor's responsibility to maintain familiarity with current OSHA standards.

1.19.2 Zero Accident Program: The South Pacific Division, in its continual pursuit of excellence in safety has established a goal of zero contractor injuries. To attain this goal it will be necessary for the contractor management personnel to communicate to the workers an expectation of zero injuries; that it is no longer acceptable to take chances; that shortcuts taken because of laziness or even while trying to do an efficient job are no longer welcomed; that praise for shortcuts or chance-taking will not exist. It is imperative that contractor management clearly sets forth the expectation for zero injuries so that the workers can begin to believe that the company is truly serious about safety. From the standpoint of worker psychology, zero is the only supportable goal. In attaining zero-injury performance, there is no substitute for the concept of setting and communicating safety performance expectations to the workers.

1.19.3 Safety and Health Program (SHP): The Contractor performing task order requirements is required by regulation to develop and maintain a written safety and health program in compliance with the requirements of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standard 29 CFR 1920.120 (b), 29 CFR 1926.65(b). Existing written safety and health programs are acceptable if they are modified to cover the criteria found in EM 385-1-1.

1.19.4 Site Safety and Health Plan (SSHP): The SSHP shall describe the safety and health procedures, practices, and equipment to be implemented and utilized in order to protect affected personnel from the potential hazards associated with the site-specific tasks to be performed. The level of detail provided in the SSHP shall be tailored to the type of work, complexity of operations to be accomplished, and the hazards anticipated. In all cases, however, all topics required by OSHA Standard, 29 CFR 1910.120 (b) (4), 29 CFR 1926.65(b)(4), and those elements listed and described in ER 385-1-92 shall be addressed in the SSHP on a site-specific basis. The SSHP must be approved by the Government before work begins.

Under the Task Order, GFP shall be provided to the contractor in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.245-1 and 52.245-2, Defense FAR Supplement (DFARS) 252.211-7007, 252.245-7001, 252.245-7002, 252.245-7003 and 252.245-7004, and Army FAR Supplement (AFARS) Part 5145, and all provisions and requirements stated in the requiring Task Order.

3.2 GFP Contractor Requests and Scheduling: The government may furnish, rent, lease or make available one of the following systems, or another if additional systems become available. It is the contractor's discretion to identify the GFP required to complete the tasks in this PWS and subsequent issued Task Orders. It is the responsibility of the contractor to provide any additional materials or equipment necessary to accomplish the objective of this PWS that are not listed in GFP list. For scheduling, provide 60 days' notice to the Government prior to beginning fieldwork.

3.4 The contractor is only authorized to use GFP as specified in this contract and within Task Orders unless otherwise provided for in writing by the contracting officer.

3.5 GFP Modification: The contractor shall not modify GFP unless the modifications are reasonable and necessary to complete the scope of work, or are needed as part of normal maintenance or required during equipment upgrades. The MM and TEMTADS systems provided through issued Task Orders do not require modifications, except in certain cases where hardware for mounting the structural components to a deployment vehicle may require drilling or welding. In such cases the contractor must work with the COR or assignee to assess if the modifications made by the contractor can remain as-is at the completion of the work or if the contractor will be required to remove their modifications or restore the modified components back to their original state.

3.6 GFP Property Management Plan: Before GFP will be made available to the contractor, the contractor shall have a GFP Property Management Plan, and that plan shall be reviewed by the Government's Property Administrator and accepted by the contracting officer prior to the Contractor submitting a GFP request and scheduling fieldwork. Within 30 days of Task Order award or as outlined in the Task Order, the contractor shall send the Government Property Administrator, USACE Project Manager and COR a draft Site-Specific GFP Property Management Plan for review. The following are components (referred to as Outcomes in the FAR) of the Contractor's GFP Property Management Plan on which the Government's review will focus:

· Outcome 1 - Acquisition

· Outcome 2 - Receipt - Process Segment under this outcome is Identification.

· Outcome 3 - Records

· Outcome 4 - Physical Inventory

· Outcome 5 - Subcontractor Control

· Outcome 6 - Reports

· Outcome 7 - Relief of Stewardship Responsibility

· Outcome 8 - Utilization - Process Segments include: Consumption, Movement, and Storage.

· Outcome 9 - Maintenance

· Outcome 10 - Contract Close-out (Disposal of Property)

3.7 Receipt and Receiving: Release of the property will be accomplished via a SF30 contract modification. The associated GFP listings will be created via the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) utilizing the GFP Module. The document transferring accountability will be approved by the same contracting office that approved the contract, or the representative, prior to the GFP being provided to the contractor. The PBO will use the SF 30 and the associated GFP Tech Exhibits along with the transfer document (DD Form 1149) to establish a GFP asset listing in USACE Automated Personal Property Management System Global Combat Support System-Army (GCSS-Army). This asset listing will be used to track visibility of GFP provided to the contractor. On completion of the initial joint inventory and written acknowledgment of receipt by the contractor via the DD Form 1149, the PBO will post the transfer document as a loss to the Army's hand receipt and gain to a contractor GFP fiduciary record.
