All applicable safety requirements (refer to Section 2.0) shall be adhered to during preparation for conduct of the training.


1. Local and/or command Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)
2. Local and/or command engineering practices
3. US Navy OPNAV INSTR 1500.75 High Risk Instruction
4. USCG Navigation Rules and Regulations Handbook
3.2.1 Instructor Education and Qualifications: At a minimum the contracted personnel conducting the training shall have the qualifications listed below. These qualifications shall be provided to, and vetted and verified by, the bidding contractor via course graduations certificates, letters of appointment, or other substantiating documentations or official correspondence.


1. Boat Captain qualified for the 11-Meter Willard RHIB and/or Naval Special Warfare (NSW) 11M RHIB qualified.
2. Boat Coxswain qualified for the 11-Meter Willard RHIB by the US Navy or Coast Guard.
a) Rationale: To teach a "Train-2-Qualify" Course, the instructor must have been qualified on the platform he/she is instructing.
3. Served in a training department of an active duty or reserve US Navy or US Coast Guard command.
a) Rationale: Instructors will maintain good order and disciple in the class room using a military system. The instructor must understand this and have been a leader. Instructors also interact with military ranks from E-1 to O-6.
4. Possession of a valid US Coast Guard Masters License - A 100 Ton Masters License with a near coastal endorsement is desirable.
5. The Senior/Lead Instructor must possess of a valid USCG Near Coastal Masters License of 25 Gross Tons or greater.
a) Rationale: This license ensures the customer receives instruction on Rules Of The Road. These are the US Coast Guard recognized boat handling regulations and requirements on the water. This is the etiquette of handling the 11-Meter Willard RHIB around other ships and during all operations while away from the pier. All Navy ships and boats follow these regulations.
6. Navy NEC 9502 instructor qualification (or other service equivalent)
a) Rationale: Students will all be military members; ensures instructors are trained in the delivery of instructional material.
7. Normal color vision (must not be color blind).
a) Rationale: The buoyage system for maritime navigation is color coded.
8. Physically capable of standing for prolonged periods on small boats, while wearing 20 lbs. of flotation, communications, and other gear.
a) Rationale: The instructors will be standing on the boat for 4-8 hours in a normal day during practical application.
9. Physically capable of climbing Jacob ladders while wearing flotation gear.
a) Rational: The instructors are often required to climb onto/off the ship for operational liaison needs. This happens during the day/night from the 11-Meter Willard RHIB while the ship is at sea.
10. Capable of working on an open deck 11-Meter Willard RHIB in all weather.
a) Rationale: The operational environment is not always sunny. It rains, there is fog and cold. Instructors must provide their own foul weather gear and safety equipment.
11. Meet US Navy 1st Class swimmer requirements per CNET Inst. P 1552/16
a) Rationale: Practical application tasks place in harbors and open ocean environments in an open cockpit 11-Meter Willard RHIB. Students (or an instructor) may fall into the water.
12. Pass a security background check (National Crime Information Center).
a) Rationale: Working with military members and government equipment the instructor position requires someone without a criminal record.
13. Eligible for, or hold a, valid SECRET clearance.
a) Rationale: While the course in unclassified, access to the ship requires a clearance.
14. Successfully complete Drug Screen (5-panel DOT).
a) Rationale: The position of instructor is critically important to student safety. The policy of zero tolerance on drug is a requirement. The instructor will make on-the-spot decisions which will affect the entire 11-Meter Willard RHIB safety.
15. Possess current CPR/1st Aid Certifications (American Red Cross/American Heart Association).
a) Rationale: The training is at times High Risk and instructors may have the need to administer CPR/1st Aid. Also, portions of training will be offshore and no medical care is immediately available.
16. Received training for, and participated in, Launch Handling and Recovery System operations for the: Freedom variant 1 (Lockheed Martin variant) Water Maneuvering Zone (WMZ) Stern Ramp, and the Independence variant 2 (Austal Ship variant) Twin Boom Extension Crane (TBEC).
a) Rationale: This is a High-Risk course. To train TBEC & WMZ operations, the instructors must have knowledge of the system, and must have also completed launching and recovering operations.
17. Must have a valid state driver's license.
a) Rationale: The contracted instructors may be required to drive various types of government vehicles while conducting the three week course.
18. Background in the creation and delivery of Concept of Operations (CONOPs) briefing to staff level officers and Government Specialist (GS) personnel.
a) Rationale: The 11-Meter Willard RHIB course has a requirement to create and plan operations with LCS Ships during the course. This includes the creation of briefs and explanations of RHIB operations which are delivered to the senior ship staff (CO, XO, Operations Officer). The senior staff has limited time. The instructors must ensure the brief, given by student, is correct and ready for presentation from both an operational point and Operational Risk Management (ORM) point.
19. 11-Meter Willard RHIB troubleshooting knowledge, skills, and abilities.
a) Rationale: The 11-Meter Willard RHIBs will, from time-to-time, break down or have issues. The course instructors will need to be able to quickly and safety handle these issues.

___________________________________________________________________________


Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal


Contractors, applies to all contracts subject to the Service Contract Act for which


the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1,


2017.  If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees


with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid


sick leave each year. Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their


own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to


assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill,


injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for


reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family


to the employee) who is the victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or


stalking.  Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections


under the EO is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.


 


ALL OCCUPATIONS LISTED ABOVE RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS:


 


HEALTH & WELFARE: $4.41 per hour or $176.40 per week or $764.40 per month


 


HEALTH & WELFARE EO 13706: $4.13 per hour, or $165.20 per week, or $715.87 per


month*


 


*This rate is to be used only when compensating employees for performance on an SCA-


covered contract also covered by EO 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal


Contractors.  A contractor may not receive credit toward its SCA obligations for any


paid sick leave provided pursuant to EO 13706.


 


VACATION: 2 weeks paid vacation after 1 year of service with a contractor or


successor, 3 weeks after 5 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.  (Reg. 29 CFR 4.173)


 


HOLIDAYS: A minimum of ten paid holidays per year:  New Year's Day, Martin Luther


King Jr.'s Birthday, Washington's 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 & 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 (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 paid to all employees performing in the classification from the first day


of work on which contract work is performed by them in the classification.  Failure


to pay such unlisted employees the compensation agreed upon by the interested


parties and/or fully determined by the Wage and Hour Division retroactive to the


date such class of employees commenced contract work shall be a violation of the Act


and this contract.  (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(v)). 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 agency's recommendations and pertinent


information including the position of the contractor and the employees, to the U.S.


Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division, 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 Division's decision to the


contractor.


 


6) Each affected employee shall be furnished by the contractor with a written copy


of such determination or it shall be posted as a part of the wage determination (See


29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(iii)).


 


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" 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 (See 29 CFR 4.152(c)(1).
