DESCRIPTION

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management (OASAM), Security Center is soliciting competitive proposals for armed security guard services in support of the DOL headquarters facilities, Washington D.C.   This is an Open Market Buy - 100% Small Business Set-Aside requirement.  The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 561612, Security Guards & Patrol Services with a size standard of $17 million.  Depending on the facility guard post location and operational need, a guard post is defined as one (1) armed guard or more for up to twenty four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week. 

Major Duties and Responsibilities

The Contractor shall provide the materials, supplies and equipment (except as otherwise provided), and shall plan, schedule, coordinate, and assure effective completion of all services described within.  Guard services shall include facility access and visitor control (access control limiting entry to only authorized personnel or visitors); general security duties such as the prevention of unauthorized access, prevention, protection and or deterrence of criminal attacks against employees, terrorist acts against all US assets and damage to Government property; the operation of walk-through metal detectors, hand-held detectors; monitoring intrusion detection systems and devices; conducting roving security patrols, supervision of guard personnel, temporary additional services, training and managing guard personnel.   The Contractor shall furnish managerial, management, supervisory, administrative, direct labor personnel, and subcontractors (if applicable), to accomplish all work as required in the contract.

This is a follow-on contract requirement.  The incumbent contractor is Coastal International Security, Inc., Surfside Beach, South Carolina.  DOL intends to award a firm fixed price (FFP) contract with a twelve (12) month base period and four (4) twelve (12) month option periods to be exercised at the discretion of the Government.   Completed background investigations are required.   Security clearances are not required.  The anticipated contract start date is November 15, 2008.

Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBA)

In accordance with Section 4c of the Service Contract Act   (SCA) of 1965 as amended, the wage rates and monetary fringe benefits of a predecessor contractor's CBA are enforceable under the Act for the following contract period (first year of the new contract only).

Timely CBA Submission

For a CBA to have standing (be enforceable) under the SCA, the contractor must provide the new and or revised CBA to the contracting agency in a timely manner (see FAR 22.1012-3 or 22.1012-5).  If a CBA is not received timely, a CBA ED should not be created or revised at WDOL.gov or otherwise obtained through the E98 system.  The Contractor is not entitled to a price adjustment arising from a CBA that was submitted untimely, since the SCA provisions of the Government contract did not require the increases.
