1.5 General Information.

1.5.1 Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). The government will identify a primary and alternate COR for the management of the overall contract. The government will identify a government representative responsible for contract oversight at each supported location. The contractor’s primary point of contacts are the COR and the ATC Facility Chief at each location.

The COR will be the primary fiscal manager for the government.

1.5.2 Quality Control. The contractor shall develop and maintain an effective Quality Control

Plan (QCP) to ensure services are performed in accordance with this PWS. The contractor shall develop and implement procedures to complete recurring self-inspections which identify, prevent, and ensure non-recurrence of unsafe, defective, or unsatisfactory services. The contractor’s QCP is the means by which it ensures services provided comply with the requirements of the contract. As a minimum, the contractor shall develop QCP procedures that address the areas identified in Technical Exhibit 1, Performance Requirements Summary. After the COR accepts the QCP, the contractor shall obtain the Contracting Officer’s (KO) acceptance in writing of any proposed changes to its QCP.

1.5.2.1 The contractor shall submit the QCP to the NGB Contracting Office (NGB-AQ) and the

COR 30 days prior to contract start date. The contractor shall review the QCP annually, or more often as needed, and forward to NGB-AQ through the COR for approval following any changes.

1.5.3 Quality Assurance (QA). The Government will 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 acceptable quality levels and defect rates.

1.5.3.1 The COR will act as a Quality Assurance Evaluator (QAE) at each contract location. The

COR will have unrestricted access to all facilities and contractor generated records in support of the contract. The COR will evaluate contractor’s compliance with the contract through unannounced on-site spot checks, scheduled semi-annual site visits, personal observation, reviewing each site’s ATC recordings, verbal questioning or review of contractor generated records, and feedback received from airfield authorities and customers.

1.5.4 The COR may initiate a Contract Discrepancy Report (CDR) whenever non-compliance with the PWS, Service Delivery Summary (SDS) or Contractor Technical Proposal is detected, observed or reported and validated through investigation. Validated customer complaints are also grounds for a CDR to be issued to the contractor by the COR.

1.5.5 Performance Evaluation Meetings. The possibility of getting all parties together for meetings may be remote as there are multiple contract locations around the country and limited

COR/QAE resources. Therefore, contractors may be required to meet annually, or engage in frequent telephone calls with the COR, especially during the first few months of the contract.

1.5.6 The contractor may request telephonic conference calls between the contractor, ATC

Facility Chief, COR, QAE and/or KO in instances where there are questions concerning clarification of the contract, updates on status of actions (hiring, maintenance, etc.), a dispute about the contract or a CDR. The contractor shall provide written signed minutes of these conference calls.

1.5.7 Post Award Conference/Periodic Progress Meetings. The contractor agrees to attend any post award conference convened by the KO in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulations

Subpart 42.5. The KO, COR, and other Government personnel, as appropriate, may meet periodically with the contractor to review the contactor’s performance. At these meetings, the

Contacting Officer will apprise the contractor of how the Government views the contractor’s performance and the contractor shall apprise the Government of problems, if any, being experienced The contractor shall resolve outstanding issues raised by the Government.

Contractor attendance at these meetings shall be at no additional cost to the Government.

1.5.8 Contract Manager (CM): The contactor shall designate a CM who shall ensure performance under this contract. The name of this person, and an alternate who shall act for the contractor when the CM is absent, shall be designated in writing to the KO. The CM or alternate shall have full authority to act for the contractor on all contract matters relating to daily operation of this contract. The CM shall work through the COR, (or the KO if a COR is not assigned), to resolve issues, receive technical instructions, and ensure adequate performance of services. The

CM shall ensure that contractor employees do not perform any services outside the scope of the contract without an official modification issued by the KO. The CM shall ensure contractor employees understand that services performed outside the scope of the contract are performed wholly at the expense of the contractor.

1.6 Special Qualifications. The contractor shall provide the COR with evidence of minimum qualifications required for all contractor personnel.

1.6.1 Contract Air Traffic Controllers.

1.6.1.1 Each air traffic controller shall have previously been awarded a qualifying FAA Control

Tower Operator (CTO) certificate, and shall have a minimum of three consecutive years’ experience performing CTO-certified ATC tower duties.. Contract controllers must obtain a

CTO certification at the assigned facility, IAW FAA JP 7110.65, AR 95-2, and TC 3-04.81 within 60 days of assignment to the facility. The contractor shall ensure minimum qualification and proficiency standards are maintained for all applicable contract employees during the execution of this contract.

1.6.1.2 Contract air traffic controllers shall meet medical qualification requirements specified in

AR 40-501, AR 95-2, TC 3-04.81 and the Aeromedical Technical Bulletin (ATB) titled

“Department of the Army Civilian (DAC) and Civilian Contract Air Traffic Control (ATC)

Medical Examination Qualification Standards” for DA civilians, terminal positions, for the conduct of the air traffic controller medical examination (ATCME).

1.6.1.3 Contract air traffic controllers shall have an ATCME completed annually by a flight surgeon or aeromedical physician’s assistant (APA) from any branch of the DoD (funded by the contractor). FAA physicals will not be accepted as certification of medical fitness. If the

ATCME is completed by other than the installation flight surgeon, the contractor shall provide copies of the ATCME to the installation flight surgeon for inclusion in the local AEROMED database. A DD Form 2992 signed by a DoD flight surgeon and the SAAO (signs block 16 as commander) must be completed as part of the ATCME, and serves as a recommendation to the

ATC Facility Chief of the individual’s medical fitness for execution of ATC duties.

1.6.1.4 Contract air traffic controllers shall provide a copy of their ATCME to the installation flight surgeon within 30 days of contract award and then once annually, or any time a change in status occurs.

1.6.1.5 Contractor employees shall not perform ATC duties unless declared fit IAW AR 40-501.

Controllers receiving substances or medical procedures likely to provoke an adverse systemic reaction shall be restricted from ATC duties. AR 40-8 addresses factors to consider and appropriate medial restrictions to ATC duty. Controllers must receive an updated DA Form

2992 from a DoD flight surgeon before returning to ATC duties after a grounding event.

FSO or contractor employee shall access the TASS account and complete the CAC application

(entering/editing contractor information as applicable) at: https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/tass/.

1.8.12 The FSO or contractor employee shall submit completed applications in TASS and will follow up to ensure that the TA is processing the request.

1.8.13 The government will inform the contractor's applicant, via email, of one of the following:

Approved. Upon approval, the information is transferred to the Defense Enrollment

Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) database and an email notification is sent to the contractor with instructions on obtaining their CAC. The contractor proceeds to a Real-Time

Automated Personnel Identification System (RAPIDS) station (RAPIDS Site Locator:

http://www.dmdc.osd.mil/rsl/).

Rejected. The Government, in separate correspondence, will provide reason(s) for rejection.

1.8.14 The contractor shall maintain records of all approved and rejected applications. At the

RAPIDS station, the RAPIDS Verification Officer will verify the contractor by SSN and two forms of identification. Identity source Documents must come from the list of acceptable documents included in Form I-9, OMB No. 115-0136, "Employment Eligibility Verification."

Consistent with applicable law, at least one document from the Form I-9 list shall be a valid

(unexpired) State or Federal Government-issued picture identification (ID). The Identity documents will be inspected for authenticity and scanned and stored in the DEERS upon issuance of an ID. The photo ID requirement cannot be waived, consistent with applicable statutory requirements. The Verification Officer will capture primary and alternate fingerprints, picture, and updates to DEERS and will then issue a CAC.

1.8.15 The contractor shall return issued CAC's to the DEERS office, COR or ATC Facility

Chief within 1 day of departure or dismissal of each contractor employee, obtain a receipt for returned CAC cards and provide to the COR.

1.8.16 The contractor shall obtain an Army Knowledge Online (AKO) email address for each applicant, including subcontractors, who require access to a government computer network. This can be done by going to: http://www.us.army.mil and register as an "Army Guest," with the sponsor being the COR or a COR designated individual if the COR is ineligible to Serve as an

AKO Sponsor. Note: If an employee of a contractor loses the Privilege to access AKO, they lose the ability to renew their CAC. Therefore it is critical that contractor employees maintain their AKO accounts.

1.8.17 The contractor shall immediately report lost or stolen CACs to the COR and the identification card facility which services the contractor or local installation. The contractor shall include such information in the monthly contract report.
