INITIAL TASK ORDER

MINIMUM GUARANTEE

In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) 52.216-19, the minimum order for this contract is $1,000.00 and the maximum order for a single item under this contract is $20,000,000.00.

The total minimum guarantee under this contract is $5000.00 for the base period and all option periods (if exercised by the Government) combined.

Subject to Availability of Funds: Funds are not presently available for this acquisition. The acquisition is subject to the availability of funds at the time of contract award. See Section I, Clause 52.232-18.

INITIAL TASK ORDERS

All pricing shall be submitted on the Price Breakdown Worksheet. The Price Breakdown Worksheet constitutes binding price through the potential life of the contract and will be incorporated into the contract award as a Unit Price Book for the successful Offeror. The prices for services ordered by task order through the entire term of the contract will be derived from the Unit Price Book.

The Government intends to award task orders on or about the contract award date for mobilization and phase-in, and for full performance of services within a short time afterwards. Offerors should reference the Task Order Performance Work Statement (PWS) for information purposes only in order to understand the Government’s current anticipated requirement, and to prepare for rapid mobilization shortly after contract award. Offerors shall NOT provide separate pricing for the Task Order PWSs with their price offer; all pricing shall be provided on the Price Breakdown Worksheet only. However, Offerors shall assume that the same level of services will be ordered throughout the life of the contract for price evaluation purposes, and shall therefore use the quantities of services listed in the Task Order PWSs to price their quantities on the Price Breakdown Worksheet. While the Government may order the services as listed in the Task Order PWSs during the base period of performance, no guarantee will be made on the level and type of services until task order issuance.

As part of price evaluation, the Government will evaluate its option to extend services (see FAR Clause 52.217-

8) by adding six (6) months of the Offeror's final option period price to the Offeror's total price. Offerors are required only to price the base and option periods. Offerors shall not submit a price for the potential six month extension of services period. The Government may choose to exercise the Extension of Services at the end of any performance period (base or option periods), utilizing the rates of that performance period.

These positions shall replicate typical foreign national service (FNS) employee positions obtained by U.S. Government Agencies to support overseas projects and locations. This contract is for Personal Services in exclusive support of USACE missions, to include Foreign Military Sales (FMS) throughout Iraq.

1.1 Contract Period of Performance (POP): This contract is for one (1) 1-year base period and four (4) one-year option periods.

2.0 DEFINITIONS OF WORDS AND TERMS

A word or term defined in this contract maintains the same definition found in Part 2 of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) unless specifically defined otherwise within this document.

3.0 CONCEPT OF OPERATION

This contract is performance-based; as such, successful performance of the contract is the complete staffing of USACE-required positions with qualified subject matter experts. The USACE concept of operations is for the Contractor to provide support personnel to fill positions throughout Iraq.

The Contractor shall furnish their own office site, labor, materials, equipment and transportation as necessary to accomplish the requirements stated in this contract. The Contractor shall establish a Contract Management Plan (CMP) that will lay out the requirements necessary to provide administrative and logistical support and oversight for all Contractor personnel and equipment. This plan shall be submitted to the Procuring Contract Officer (PCO) within ten (10) days of contract award.

3.1 Contractor’s Key Personnel:

The CMP will identify all key personnel. The CMP will contain an organizational chart that clarifies the structure, and it shall define the interface among the Contractor, the Contractor’s Key Personnel and Contracting Officer’s Representative(s) (CORs).

3.1.1 Criteria for Key Personnel:

In-country Program Manager:

The in-country Program Manager (PgM) shall be physically located in Iraq and shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Contractor for all matters relating to this contract. The PgM shall possess all necessary background checks and credentials for operating in theater, and provide at time of solicitation a certificate stating proficiency in written and spoken English at Level 1 as defined in paragraph 7.8.3. The PgM shall have a minimum of 2-year Associate college level degree, or equivalent. The PgM shall possess a minimum of ten (10) years of pertinent experience in the position to which they will be assigned. Professional certification in either project management or safety is preferred. The PgM must be available for contact during working hours or as required by the Contracting Officer.

3.2 Iraqi National Staff:

The Contractor shall ensure the readiness of Contractor Iraqi National staff and equipment to prevent gaps or denial of services at all times throughout the performance period of the contract. The Contractor shall ensure that the Contractor work force is properly recruited, trained, outfitted, fielded, and supplied to successfully perform duties in accordance with the provisions of this contract.

▪ Program Manager (PM)

▪ Project Engineer Assistant (PEA)*

▪ Quality Assurance Representative (QAR)*

Positions marked with an * are Technical Positions

3.3 Work Schedule:

In accordance with DFARS Clause 252.233-7001, Choice of Law (Overseas), work schedules, overtime pay and holidays may not conform to Iraqi Labor Laws.

Each required position is based on a Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) of 2,496 hours per year. The typical duty week shall be from Saturday through Thursday – 8 hours per day, 6 days per week, for 52 weeks; although, the United States Government (USG) supervisor and/or COR will adjust work day hours within each work week to accommodate project oversight requirements and workload. The work schedule is for the position and does not imply pay or reimbursement for time not worked by Contractor employees. i.e. Holiday/ Sick time / Personal time or vacation. For this contract, an FTE is defined as the number of total hours required to be worked in a work year.

For example, if the work year is defined as 2,496 hours, then one worker occupying a paid full time job all year would constitute one FTE.

The Contractor is responsible for ensuring that all positions are covered adequately. All positions theater-wide must be filled on a continual basis with no gaps in staffing, to include personnel availability during holidays and leave, as needed and directed by USACE. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to ensure for personnel on leave, that there are adequate backfill personnel available to ensure work coverage at all times, in coordination with the assigned USG Supervisor and/or COR.

3.4 Time Clarification:

3.4.1 Travel to and from work:

Ordinary home-to-work travel by Contractor employees – that is, travel involved in reporting to work at the start of the day and returning to home at day’s end – does not count as time worked. However, once the employee has reported to work for the day, time spent traveling from one project site to another as part of their duties, shall be reported as time worked.

3.4.2 Over-Time (OT) Hours:

All OT (hours worked beyond 60 hours per week) must be pre-approved in writing. The USACE supervisor and a USACE manager will be the approver and reviewer of OT requests. If a contract employee is required to work more than 48 hours in any calendar week, Saturday through Thursday, OT compensation shall be provided at a rate 1.25 normal rate. Working on Fridays or official Iraq Holidays does not automatically grant the employee hours at the OT rates.

3.4.3 OT hours shall be logged on the Contractor employee’s monthly timesheets and verified by the contractor, the USG and paid following approval by the PCO.

3.5 Holiday Leave:
