For the Hanna Park fence line:
1. Question: Are any permits required from the city of Jacksonville?
Answer: No permits are required unless Contractor deviates from the 5’ boundary or cuts a tree larger than 8†on the Hanna Park Side of the fence.
2. Question: Do we need to supply site specific Health and Safety Plan?
Answer: Upon award, the Contractor will provide the Government a copy of the company safety plan that governs the employee’s actions.
3. Question: If palm trees stay, do they have to be skinned smooth to 20’?
Answer: All palm trees that remain will be skinned to 20’ or to the first live branches, whichever is less. The Contractor should have noticed at the site visit that most palm trees in Hanna Park are already skinned, the Statement of work requires palm trees within the 5’ area of the fence removed so the amount of palm trees required to be “skinned†on the Hanna Park Fence clearing project may not be extensive.
4. Question: Can you supply 2-3 lay down area’s along the fence line and show us on a map where they are proposed?
Answer: See the attached map which indicates Contractor lay-down areas.
5. Question: Do we need to provide a portolet for the project?
Answer: It is the Contractors responsibility to provide the necessary facilities for their employees. Use of Government facilities by Contractors is generally not permitted.
6. Question: While working along the road outside of the gate, do we need to supply barricades and signs indicating the lane will be closed while we work along that area?
Answer: It is the Contractors responsibility to secure the appropriate amount of room to support safe tree trimming/removal operations.
The Contactor may elect to use flags, signs, or barricades to secure the required area.
7. Question: When in people’s backyards, do we need to re-sod within the 5’ area if it gets damaged or just re-sod the damaged area outside of the 5’ clearing area?
Answer: The Contractor is responsible for repairing any ground indentations such as ruts from equipment or tree falling. Once ground indentations are repaired, the Contractor will re-seed using Bahia grass seed with an initial watering if possible.
8. Question: Is there a determination on cutting of trees that may not be fully in the 5’ cutting zone, i.e. if a tree is only 2†into the 5’ zone does it get cut? Or is it, if it’s over half of the trees diameter in the 5’ zone, then it gets cut?
Answer: If 50% of the diameter of the tree at the base of the tree is within the 5’ zone it will be removed if on the Navy side of the fence.
If 50% of the diameter of the tree at the base of the tree is within the 5’ zone on the Hanna Park side of the fence and the tree is less than 8†in diameter it will be removed. Trees that remain and are leaning over the fence will be trimmed as required to remove the ability to be used to scale the fence.
9. Question: Please confirm the due date.
Answer: Due date extended to 3 p.m. 29 August 2016.
10. Question: Since it is a wage rate project, do we need to supply certified payroll?
Answer: The Contractor is not required to provide certified payroll. The Contractor is responsible to operate in accordance with the applicable wage rates for the occupational skill per Department of Labor requirements.
More information may be obtained from www.dol.gov.
11. Question: Do you know how many spots we will have to bring out material to haul trucks?
Answer: See the attached map which indicates contractor lay-down areas.
12. Question: Do you have the distances between the spots?
Answer: See the attached map which indicates contractor lay-down areas.
13. Question: Do the lay down areas have to be seeded when done?
Answer: The Contractor is responsible for returning the lay-down areas to the same or similar condition they were at when provided to the Contractor.
14. Question: How long can material sit at those locations (lay down location) before the haul trucks haul it?
Answer: There is no set duration provided that everything is removed by the contract completion date..
However, should the storing of trees or weeds become a health or safety issue the Contractor may be asked by the Government to remove or resolve the issue.
15. Question: Can we spray Fence lines with commercial grade weed killer instead de-vining them by hand? (This will kill all vines. They will brown and dry up eventually falling off). This is more cost efficient and time saving.
Answer: The applicator of the weed killer would need a certification in Right of Way pest control. Certification must be submitted to the Government for verification prior to work. ID Card Holders are not approved. Herbicide must be on the approved by NAVFAC Environmental.
The intent of the project is to remove all growth from the fence and not leave brown dying vines in the fence.
The Contractor could spray at beginning of job is this course is elected and remove the vines prior to completion of the job.
16. Question: Can we just trim the palms and trim boots on main trunk tight instead of debuting them “skinning themâ€. There is a big diff. I don’t believe it is necessary to remove boots off these trees in the middle of the woods as this is normally an esthetic thing…. And also a huge diff in cost. It would allow everyone to be more competitive on this bid.
Answer: All palm trees that remain will be skinned to 20’ or to the first live branches, whichever is less. The Contractor should have noticed at the site visit that most palm trees in Hanna Park are already skinned, the Statement of work requires palm trees within the 5’ area of the fence removed so the amount of palm trees required to be “skinned†on the Hanna Park Fence clearing project may not be extensive.

Update #2 ·
Question 1. Are solicitations N69450-16-Q-5637 and N69450-16-Q-7538 the same? Can we bid on both or only one? Does the Government plan on selecting one Contractor for each one or one for the both of them?
Answer: These are two separate solicitations that the Government is soliciting commercial bids on. Vendors may bid on one, or both, as these are two very different projects with the Hanna Park project being much larger than the Gates 5 and 5A project. As each project is separate, the Government will select the offeror whose bid best meets the selection requirement outlined in the solicitation.
Question 2. As these jobs will be performed on a Government installation, does any Wage Determinations apply to these projects?
Answer: Yes, the Service Contract Act Wage Determination 2015-2115 Rev 2 (dated 07/08/2016) does apply and is included in this amendment or it can be retrieved at www.dol.gov.
Question 3.
As this work will be performed on a Government Installation will additional safety requirements be required?
Answer: Safety in work is always one of the most important elements of any work performed on base. As this solicitation is for commercial services the work standard standards outlined in OSHA will apply to these solicitations. Personnel protections such as eye protection, hearing protection, fall protection and the appropriate protection while operating equipment will be required.
Question 4. Where will we meet for the site visit?
Answer: Per the solicitation a site survey will be held on August 17, 2016 starting at 9 a.m. and if you plan to attend the names, company name, and phone number must be emailed to the contacts listed in the solicitation to gain access to NS Mayport.
We will meet in the Pass and ID parking lot right outside the main gate at 9 a.m. on 17 August 2016.

ALL OCCUPATIONS LISTED ABOVE RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS:
HEALTH and WELFARE: $4.27 per hour or $170.80 per week or $740.13 per month
VACATION: 2 weeks paid vacation after 1 year of service with a contractor or successor, 3 weeks after 8 years, and 4 weeks after 15 years.
Length of service includes the whole span of continuous service with the present contractor or successor, wherever employed, and with the predecessor contractors in the performance of similar work at the same Federal facility. (See 29 CFR 4.173)
HOLIDAYS: A minimum of ten paid holidays per year: New Years Day, Martin Luther King Jr.s Birthday, Washingtons Birthday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. (A contractor may substitute for any of the named holidays another day off with pay in accordance with a plan communicated to the employees involved.) (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 and 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 ordnance, explosives, and incendiary materials.
This includes work such as screening, blending, dying, mixing, and pressing of sensitive ordnance, 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 re-grading 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 ordnance, (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 ordnance, 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 ordnance, 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.
** SERVICE CONTRACT ACT DIRECTORY OF OCCUPATIONS **
The duties of employees under job titles listed are those described in the Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations, Fifth Edition (Revision 1), dated September 2015, unless otherwise indicated.
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 (See 29 CFR 4.6
(b)(2)(i)). Such conforming procedures shall be initiated by the contractor prior to the performance of contract work by such unlisted class(es) of employees (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(ii)). The Wage and Hour Division shall make a final determination of conformed classification, wage rate, and/or fringe benefits which shall be retroactive to the commencement date of the contract (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(iv)(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 the 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 agencys recommendations and pertinent information including the position of the contractor and the employees, to the Wage and Hour Division, U.S. Department of Labor, for review (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(ii)).
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 ensure 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.

SYNOPSIS: (also attached)
1. INTRODUCTION:
This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with FAR 12.6, using Simplified Acquisitions Procedures for commercial items found at FAR 13, supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes only solicitation; quotations are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is N69450-16-Q-5637. It is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-89. This is 100% small business set aside. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this acquisition is 561730.
The size standard is $7.5M. It is the contractors responsibility to be familiar with the applicable clauses and provisions. The clauses and provisions may be accessed in full text at http://acquisition.gov/far and www.acq.osd.mil.
This solicitation is to support Naval Station Mayport Florida in establishing a five (5) foot clear area on both side of the NS Mayport perimeter fence. The majority of this fence is the boundary between Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park which is Jacksonville, Florida city property and the Mayport Naval Station.
2.SCOPE:
This project will consist of creating a five (5) foot clear zone on each side of the perimeter fence and two areas that will require light cosmetic trimming.
Specifically the flowing applies:
A. The five foot clear area of the perimeter fence located on the Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park side of the fence will be cleared of all growth, grass, weeds and all trees that are smaller than eight (8) inch in diameter to a height of approximately two to three inches. All trees eight (8) inch diameter and larger will be trimmed so that the lowest branch of the tree is a minimum of twenty (20) feet in height. The Palm Trees over 8 that remain must be skinned (i.e. removing the remnants of the palm fronds) so that the trees are smooth from the ground to the point of live branches. Trees being trimmed will be done so to commercial standards and in a uniform fashion not to produce future leaning or falling conditions.
Trees being trimmed will be done so to commercial standards and in a uniform fashion not to produce future leaning or falling conditions. The Government will request the contractor to seek the advice of a certified tree arbor in situations that raise concern for the future health of the tree being trimmed.
B. The five foot clear area of the perimeter fence located on the Naval Station Mayport side of the fence will be cleared of all growth, grass, weeds, and all trees that are less than twenty-four (24) inch in diameter to a height of approximately two to three inches. All trees twenty-four (24) inch diameter or larger will be trimmed so that the lowest branch of the tree is a minimum of twenty (20) feet in height.
The Palm Trees over 24 that remain must be skinned (i.e. removing the remnants of the palm fronds) so that the trunks are smooth from the ground the point of live branches. Trees being trimmed will be done so to commercial standards and in a uniform fashion not to produce future leaning or falling conditions. Trees being trimmed will be done so to commercial standards and in a uniform fashion not to produce future leaning or falling conditions. The Government will request the contractor seek the advice of a certified tree arbor in situations that raise concern for the future health of the tree being trimmed. The perimeter fence also encompasses Joseph Finegan Elementary School which may require additional coordination with using heavy equipment of chain saws if in session
C.
All trees and growth that have grown into or intertwined with the perimeter fence will be removed. All trees that have been removed will have the stumps ground or removed to a ground condition that supports being mowed. All removed trees grass, weeds, or debris will be removed and disposed of by the contractor.
D. Attachment one (1) provides a map of the fence line being cleared and is as accurate as possible but is not to be used as the basis of the contractors estimate or rationale for future contract increases or time extension. In addition to the requirements of paragraphs one (1) and two (2) above; there are two areas near the front gate of the Naval Station that will require cosmetic trimming.
This project requires attendance at a site survey being held on August 17, 2016 starting at 9 a.m. at Naval Station Mayport at which time interested parties will be escorted along the entire fence line to survey the magnitude of this project (the companion project N69450-16-Q-5638 Trim Gates 5 and 5A site visit will be the same day starting at 1 p.m.). Bids submitted by contractors who did not attend, or were not represented, at the site visit will not be considered for award of this project. Site visit attendees must submit an email to timothy.gridley@navy.mil and cc robert.hallstein@navy.mil no later than 2 pm (EST), 15 August 2016 that includes the name of the company, the full names of all attendees, email and phone contact information and if you require base access to attend.
All personnel attending must have two forms of identification; both issued by a State or Government entity, with one containing a photo. Offerors are expected to satisfy themselves as to the general and local conditions that may affect the cost of performance of the work, to the extent that such information is reasonably obtainable. It is considered impractical to determine, without inspection, the exact nature of the work and site conditions under which the work is to be performed.
It is the contractors’ responsibility to obtain required measurements, physical requirements and interferences (if any). Taking photographs of the areas covered by this requirement will be permitted as directed during the site visit.
If attending the site visit, plan on walking the entire length of the fence line and special areas as indicated in attachment one (1). This solicitation is intended to solicit “turn-key†quotes to accomplish the statement of work as efficient and effectively as possible with minimal unplanned events. Performance bonds are not required for this project.
3.PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE:
The Successful Offeror will have 90 days from contract award to complete the requirements of this solicitation as validated by the Government. Access to Naval Station Mayport and Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park will be provided (with the required documentation described in section two (2)) to support accomplishment of this requirement.
SCHEDULE OF WORK: The work shall be so scheduled as to cause a minimum of interference to the normal operations of Naval Station Mayport.
Work shall be accomplished between the hours of 7:30 A.M. and 4:30 P.M., Monday through Friday. If the Contractor desires to work on Saturday, Sunday, holidays, or outside of the Station’s regular hours, an application may be submitted to the Contracting Officer for approval.
