E.2 INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE

Inspection and acceptance of all work performed under this contract shall be made by the Contracting Officer's Technical Representative (COTR) or duly authorized representatives.

E.3 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS SUMMARY TABLE DESCRIPTION

The Performance Requirements Summary is provided as Exhibit 4 of Section J.  The purpose of this attachment is to identify the contract requirements in summary form as follows:

Service Requirement (Column 1):  This column contains a brief summary of each service requirement either.  

Contract Paragraph Number (Column 2):  This column identifies the paragraph number of the requirement in Section C which specifies the service requirement.

Standard (Column 3):  This column identifies the performance standard to be met.
                                                                                                        
Maximum Allowable Degrees of Deviation from Requirement (Column 4):  This column shows the number of times the service can be rated unacceptable before being declared unsatisfactory.  If service is rated unacceptable fewer than the indicated times it is satisfactory, however payment deductions are taken for observed defects not reworked by the Contractor.

Method of Surveillance (Column 5):  This column shows the method of surveillance anticipated for the service requirement.  The Government is not restricted to using the methods chosen and shown in Column 5.

Calculation of Deductions (Column 6):   This column explains the basis for deductions.   

E.4 CONTRACT SURVEILLANCE:

	The Government will execute a quality assurance program using surveillance techniques and levels of inspection deemed appropriate to assure contract compliance.  The Government may change surveillance methods or levels of inspection at any time.  The Government's Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan is provided as Exhibit 5 of Section J.

When random sampling is used for surveillance, payment for unsatisfactory performance will be adjusted by the observed nonconforming items projected across the total population of services for the invoice period, adjusted for specific work satisfactorily re-performed.  Observed defects external to the sample will not be used as a basis for deduction projection, but will be considered in payment for rework.  The projected defect rate will be adjusted in the Contractor's favor by rounding down to the nearest whole number to establish a more statistically confident indication of the Contractor's true performance.

When other than random sampling is used for surveillance, payment for unsatisfactory performance of work will be adjusted by those nonconforming work items actually observed and which were not re-performed. 

When surveillance efforts indicate that the Contractor's performance is unsatisfactory, the Contractor will be notified and appropriate administrative fees will be taken in addition to the payment deductions discussed above.  The Contractor shall be assessed an administrative fee for surveillance of unsatisfactory work in accordance with the Payment Deduction Clause below:

E.5 PAYMENT REDUCTION CLAUSE

1. REDUCTIONS FOR UNSATISFACTORY OR NON-PERFORMED WORK

	 All contractually specified work is subject to inspection by the COTR or a duly authorized representative.  If work is found unsatisfactory as a result of these inspections the Government may reduce payments to the Contractor by an amount equal to the value of the unsatisfactory or non-performed work, as determined by the Contracting Officer using the procedures described in the following paragraphs.  Payment may be deducted from any payment due the Contractor.  In the event the Contractor disagrees with the Contracting Officer as to any reduction, such disagreement shall be subject to the contract clause entitled "Disputes".

2.  ADJUSTING PAYMENTS

	(a) Under the Inspection of Services clause (FAR 52.246-4) of this contract, payments may be adjusted if any services do not conform to contract requirements.  The Contracting Officer will inform the Contractor, in writing, of the type and dollar amount of proposed deductions by the 15th workday of the month following the performance period for which the deductions are to be made. 
	
	(b) The Contractor may, within 10 working days of receipt of the notification of the proposed deductions, present to the Contracting Officer specific reasons why any or all of the proposed deductions are not justified.  Reasons must be solidly based and must provide specific facts that justify reconsideration and/or adjustment of the amount to be deducted. Failure to respond within the 10-day period will be interpreted to mean that the Contractor accepts the deduction as proposed.

	(c) All or a portion of the final payment may be delayed or withheld until the Contracting Officer makes a final decision on the proposed deduction.  If the Contracting Officer determines that any or all of the proposed deductions are warranted, the Contracting Officer shall so notify the Contractor, and adjust subsequent payments under the contract accordingly

3.  DEDUCTIONS

(a) Inspection sheets prepared by Government Inspectors shall identify work inspected and indicate if performance is satisfactory or unsatisfactory.  Any task identified as critical that is not performed or re-performed satisfactorily will result in the entire space inspected being determined unsatisfactory and is subject to the application of deductions. In large open areas, the building support columns or other obvious dividers will be considered in determining the composition of an individual office when deductions are being made.

(b) Deductions will be applied at a fixed rate per 1000 square feet of space determined unsatisfactory.  For custodial services, the rate will be calculated using the fixed monthly rate for basic services and total net cleaning space of 290,549 currently 277,588 square feet for the 4800 Building and 4466 for the Childcare Center.  The deduction rate for grounds maintenance will be calculated using the fixed monthly rate for grounds maintenance and 640,121 square feet, total outside area to be maintained for both locations.  These rates will need to be recalculated if the monthly rate changes as a result of increased costs or changes in the space to be maintained.  

EXAMPLE OF DEDUCTION RATE CALCULATION

The following calculation is based on a monthly rate of $101,406 and area to be maintained of 290,549 square feet.

1. Monthly rate divided by square feet: $101,406 divided by 290,549 = $.35 per square foot per month
2.  Monthly rate of $.35 per square foot divided by 21 workdays = $.0166 per square foot per day 
3.  Square foot per day rate of $.0166 multiplied by 1000 = $16.60 per 1000 square feet

EXCEPTIONS TO SQUARE FEET:  If computing reductions for failure to perform a certain task and square feet do not apply other methods may be used to arrive at the area not serviced, e.g.:

	1.  Emptying or cleaning trashcans, the area that the container is considered to serve will be considered 1000 square feet.

	2.  Edging and trimming, linear feet may be used.  

(c)  APPLICATION OF DEDUCTIONS (Non-Performance)

	(1) Daily Services - If the Contractor fails to perform satisfactorily or omits work required for performance, the Contractor's attention shall be called to this failure or omission.  Deductions may be made from any monies due or to become due to the Contractor to cover the cost of the service omitted or not satisfactorily performed. Costs to be deducted under this paragraph will be determined by using the deduction rate calculated in accordance with the instructions above.  Deductions may be applied for each day that service is not performed or remains unsatisfactory.  

	(2) Periodic Services - If the Contractor fails to perform satisfactorily, omits, or fails to reschedule tasks as outlined in the Contractor's approved periodic schedule, the Contracting Officer or his designated representative shall give the Contractor written notice of the failure or omission.  Once notified, if the Contractor does not complete the work within the time allotted by the Contracting Officer or his designated representative the work may be performed by other means and the cost thereof shall be deducted from monies due or to become due the Contractor.  Failure of the Contractor to perform, or if the omitted or unsatisfactory work cannot be rescheduled, deductions for the total amount of unsatisfactory space at the calculated deduction rate will be taken from any monies due or to become due the Contractor.

	(3) Quality Control Inspections - In the event the scheduled inspections as identified in the approved quality control program are not accomplished, a deduction shall be made from any monies due or to become due to the Contractor.  The Government will determine the time (man-hours) necessary to make the inspection, including any travel time required and multiply the total by the current hourly rate for supervisors.  

	(4) Withholding Monies for Non-Submission of Work Schedules - The Contractor is required to submit an acceptable quality control program and/or an annual schedule of periodic service by dates and areas not later than the contract performance date. The Contracting Officer (CO) or the designated representative may grant an extension.  In the event the schedules are not received and approved by the Contracting Officer's Technical Representative (COTR) by the date required, the COTR may recommend to the CO withholding of all payments until the submittals are received and approved.  The CO will notify the Contractor in writing in the event that payments are withheld. 

E.6 INSPECTION, ACCEPTANCE AND RECEIVING CERTIFICATION

The Contracting Officer's Technical Representative (COTR), or other authorized Government representative, will place a statement substantially the same as follows on the file copy of the Contractor's invoice:

The 2,500 square feet may be made up of small blocks of space and does not have to be contiguous.

     b. Computations:  Adjustments for space reductions shall be computed using a rate calculated in accordance with Section E, Paragraph E.5:

Example:

1. Monthly rate $101,406 divided by square feet of 290,549 = $.35 per square foot per month
2.  Monthly rate of $.35 per square foot divided by 21 workdays = $.0166 per square foot per day 
3.  Square foot per day rate of $.0166 multiplied by 1000 = $16.60 per 1000 square feet per day

This rate will be multiplied by the square feet of the unoccupied space or area not being maintained.  

Example: 2500 square feet divided by 1000 = 2.5 multiplied by $16.60 (rate per 1000 square feet) = $41.50 per day.   

The daily rate will be multiplied by the number of days that the space is not maintained, e.g.:  For 2500 square feet of space not maintained for one month the adjustment will be $871.50, 21 workdays in a month multiplied by the daily rate for 2500 square feet, $41.50. 

G.4 FINAL PAYMENT

Before final payment is made, the Contractor shall furnish the Contacting Officer with a release of all claims against the Government relating to this contract, other than claims in stated amounts that are specifically excepted by the contractor form the release. If the Contractor's claim to amounts payable under the contract has been assigned under the Assignment of Claims Act of 1940, as amended (31 U.S.C. 3727, 41 U.S.C. 15), a release may also be required of the assignee.

(3) The prohibitions of the Act do not apply under the following conditions:
(i) Agency and legislative liaison by own employees. 
(A) The prohibition on the use of appropriated funds, in subparagraph (b)(1) of this clause, does not apply in the case of a payment of reasonable compensation made to an officer or employee of a person requesting or receiving a covered Federal action if the payment is for agency and legislative liaison activities not directly related to a covered Federal action. 
(B) For purposes of subdivision (b)(3)(i)(A) of this clause, providing any information specifically requested by an agency or Congress is permitted at any time.
(C) The following agency and legislative liaison activities are permitted at any time where they are not related to a specific solicitation for any covered Federal action:
(1) Discussing with an agency the qualities and characteristics (including individual demonstrations) of the person's products or services, conditions or
terms of sale, and service capabilities.
(2) Technical discussions and other activities regarding the application or adaptation of the person's products or services for an agency's use.
(D) The following agency and legislative liaison activities are permitted where they are prior to formal solicitation of any covered Federal action-

(2) Technical discussions regarding the preparation of any unsolicited proposal prior to its official submission; and
(3) Capability presentations by persons seeking awards from an agency pursuant to the provision of the Small Business Act, as amended by Pub. L. 95-507, and
subsequent amendments.
(E) Only those services expressly authorized by subdivision (b)(3)(i)(A) of this clause are permitted under this clause.
(ii) Professional and technical services.
(A) The prohibition on the use of appropriated funds, in subparagraph (b)(1) of this clause, does not apply in the case of-
(1) A payment of reasonable compensation made to an officer of employee of a person requesting or receiving a covered Federal action or any extension, continuation, renewal, amendment, or modification of a covered Federal action, if payment is for professional or technical services rendered directly in the preparation,
submission, or negotiation of any bid, proposal, or application for that Federal action or for meeting requirements imposed by or pursuant to law as a condition for receiving that Federal action. 
(2) Any reasonable payment to a person, other than an officer or employee of a person requesting or receiving a covered Federal action or any extension,
continuation, renewal , amendment, or modification of a covered Federal action if the payment is for professional or technical services rendered directly in the preparation, submission, or negotiation of any bid, proposal, or application for that Federal action
or for meeting requirements imposed by or pursuant to law as a condition for receiving that Federal action.
Persons other than officers or employees of a person requesting or receiving a covered Federal action include consultants and trade associations.
(B) For purposes of subdivision (b)(3)(ii)(A) of this clause, "professional and technical services" shall be limited to advice and analysis directly applying any professional or technical discipline. The following examples are not intended to be all inclusive, to limit the application of the professional or technical exemption provided in the law, or to limit the exemption to licensed professionals. For example, drafting of a legal
document accompanying a bid or proposal by a lawyer is allowable. Similarly, technical advice provided by an engineer on the performance or operational capability of a piece of equipment rendered directly in the negotiation of a contract is allowable. However, communication with a technical person (such as a licensed
accountant) are not allowable under this section unless they provide advice and analysis directly applying their professional or technical expertise and unless the advice or analysis is rendered directly and solely in the preparation, submission or negotiation of a covered Federal action. Thus, for example, communication with the
intent to influence made by a lawyer that do not provide legal advice or analysis directly and solely related to the legal aspects of his or her client's proposal, but
generally advocate one proposal over another are not allowable under this section because the lawyer is not providing professional legal services. Similarly, communications with the intent to influence made by an engineer providing an engineering analysis prior to the preparation or submission of an bid or proposal are not allowable under this section since the engineer is providing technical services but not directly in the preparation, submission or negotiation of a covered Federal action.
(C) Requirements imposed by or pursuant to law as a condition for receiving a covered Federal award include those required by law or regulation and any other requirements in the actual award documents.

     "Data Universal Numbering System +4 (DUNS+4) number" means the DUNS number assigned by D&B plus a 4-character suffix that may be assigned by a business concern. (D&B has no affiliation with this 4-character suffix.) This 4-character suffix may be assigned at the discretion of the business concern to establish additional CCR records for identifying alternative Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) accounts (see the FAR at Subpart 32.11) for the same parent concern. 
     "Registered in the CCR database" means that- 
          (1) The Contractor has entered all mandatory information, including the DUNS number or the DUNS+4 number, into the CCR database; and 
          (2) The Government has validated all mandatory data fields and has marked the record "Active". 
     (b)(1) By submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges the requirement that a prospective awardee shall be registered in the CCR database prior to award, during performance, and through final payment of any contract, basic agreement, basic ordering agreement, or blanket purchasing agreement resulting from this solicitation. 
          (2) The offeror shall enter, in the block with its name and address on the cover page of its offer, the annotation "DUNS" or "DUNS +4" followed by the DUNS or DUNS +4 number that identifies the offeror's name and address exactly as stated in the offer. The DUNS number will be used by the Contracting Officer to verify that the offeror is registered in the CCR database. 
     (c) If the offeror does not have a DUNS number, it should contact Dun and Bradstreet directly to obtain one. 
          (1) An offeror may obtain a DUNS number- 
               (i) If located within the United States, by calling Dun and Bradstreet at 1-866-705-5711 or via the Internet at http://www.dnb.com; or 
               (ii) If located outside the United States, by contacting the local Dun and Bradstreet office. 
          (2) The offeror should be prepared to provide the following information: 
               (i) Company legal business. 
               (ii) Tradestyle, doing business, or other name by which your entity is commonly recognized. 
               (iii) Company Physical Street Address, City, State, and Zip Code. 
               (iv) Company Mailing Address, City, State and Zip Code (if separate from physical).

               (vi) Date the company was started. 
               (vii) Number of employees at your location. 
               (viii) Chief executive officer/key manager. 
               (ix) Line of business (industry). 
               (x) Company Headquarters name and address (reporting relationship within your entity). 
     (d) If the Offeror does not become registered in the CCR database in the time prescribed by the Contracting Officer, the Contracting Officer will proceed to award to the next otherwise successful registered Offeror. 
     (e) Processing time, which normally takes 48 hours, should be taken into consideration when registering. Offerors who are not registered should consider applying for registration immediately upon receipt of this solicitation. 
     (f) The Contractor is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the data within the CCR database, and for any liability resulting from the Government's reliance on inaccurate or incomplete data. To remain registered in the CCR database after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates its information in the CCR database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating information in the CCR does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document. 
     (g)(1)(i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, "doing business as" name, or division name (whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name agreements in Subpart 42.12, the Contractor shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day's written notification of its intention to (A) change the name in the CCR database; (B) comply with the requirements of Subpart 42.12 of the FAR; and (C) agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the responsible Contracting Officer. The Contractor must provide with the notification sufficient documentation to support the legally changed name. 
               (ii) If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (g)(1)(i) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at paragraph (g)(1)(i)(C) of this clause, and, in the absence of a properly executed novation or change-of-name agreement, the CCR information that shows the Contractor to be other than the Contractor indicated in the contract will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the "Suspension of Payment" paragraph of the electronic funds transfer (EFT) clause of this contract. 
          (2) The Contractor shall not change the name or address for EFT payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the CCR record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims (see FAR Subpart 32.8, Assignment of Claims). Assignees shall be separately registered in the CCR database. Information provided to the Contractor's CCR record that indicates payments, including those made by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that Contractor will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the "Suspension of payment" paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract. 
     (h) Offerors and Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via the internet at http://www.ccr.gov or by calling 1-888-227-2423, or 269-961-5757. 
                                                           (End of clause)

I.10 IR1052-01-001 ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER (EFT) PAYMENTS  

Effective May 1, 2002, in order to receive payments under this contract/award, contractors are required to register in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database.  Beginning October 1, 2002, CCR will be the primary database used to obtain contractor information for all Federal Government contracts. Contractors can complete the on-line CCR registration process by accessing http://www.ccr.gov.  Annual renewal of a contractor's registration is a requirement.  There are mandatory fields in CCR that need to be completed before the registration can become active.  For example, contractor business, name, address, telephone, point of contact, business start date, Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number (plus 4 digits, if applicable), Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) and the Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) account numbers to permit receipt of electronic payments, are all mandatory fields.  Registration via the internet can generally be activated within 48 hours, if all the information is complete and accurate.  Registration via another method can take up to 30 days.

The CCR web site contains information and a telephone number (800-333-0505) where a contractor can call to get an expedited DUNS number, in order to start the registration process. Contractors must obtain the EFT account numbers from its own financial institution, if not already known.  Contractors will be ineligible for awards, if they are not registered in CCR, unless they meet an exception or apply for a waiver.  Contractors requesting a waiver from CCR registration must apply via the Contracting Officer.  Only the Bureau Chief Procurement Officer (BCPO) can approve a waiver from CCR registration and permit the award action, if the contractor is not registered in CCR. Any contractor meeting an exception or obtaining a waiver from CCR registration is still required to get an EFT account in order to receive electronic payments, in accordance with the Debt Collection Improvement Act.  Contractors shall then submit a completed Automated Clearing House (ACH) Vendor/Miscellaneous Payment Enrollment Form (formerly SF 3881) directly to:
Internal Revenue Service
Office of Financial Applications Support and Technology
P. O. Box 3339,
Cincinnati, Ohio 45201-3339
Or Fax to:  (513) 263-5020

The ACH Vendor/Miscellaneous Payment Enrollment Form can be obtained from the IRS Contracting Officer or from the IRS Office of Financial Applications Support and Technology, points of contact, Joan Aker or Nancy Estep at (513) 263-5069/5055, if not included in this solicitation/award.

In order for contractor invoices to be determined proper and payments made under applicable awards, contractor EFT information must be valid and current.  Valid contractor EFT information must include the Agency information; the Payee/Company information including Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN); and the Contractor's financial institution information, including the nine-digit routing transit number, account type and account number.  If the contractor is registered in CCR, changes can be made to its business profile at any time.  Under this award, if any changes are made to the mandatory business information in CCR, the contractor is required to notify the IRS Beckley Finance Office within three (3) business days.  Under this award, those contractors not registered in CCR but enrolled in EFT payments, are also required to report any changes to their business information to the IRS Beckley Finance Office within three (3) business days.  Contractors can e-mail notification of their changed CCR and EFT business information directly to: CFOBFC.CCRPaymentinformation@irs.gov

Valid contractor EFT payment information is required in order for the Government to make any payment under this award. Invoices received prior to the receipt of valid EFT information shall be deemed improper for the purpose of prompt payment under this award and payments will be rejected or suspended.  Contractors may only request a waiver from EFT payments if they meet one of the criteria listed on the Request for Waiver of Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Payment Form.  The waiver request form can be obtained via the Contracting Officer or the IRS Office of Financial Applications Support and Technology at telephone (513) 263-5069/5055 or e-mail Nancy.V.Estep@irs.gov or Joan.Aker@irs.gov.

Exhibit J-5
   Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan
Atlanta Submission Processing Center
Atlanta, GA

Note: This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) is provided for information only and does not need to be addressed in Offerors' proposal.  

1. PURPOSE:   This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) has been developed and designed to aid the COTR in providing effective and systematic surveillance of all aspects of the custodial services and grounds maintenance required by the contract.  This plan is provided for information only and may be changed at any time.   This plan provides for monitoring all contract requirements through a combination of the following methods:

a. Sampling Guides (attached);

b. Surveillance Activity Checklists;
 
c. Unscheduled Inspections; and

d. Validated Customer Complaints

2. OBJECTIVE:  The objective of this QASP is to provide detail on how the IRS will inspect and evaluate the contractor's performance in key areas. The Government is primarily interested in both timeliness and quality of performance. This plan will focus on the level of performance required by the statement of work, rather than the methodology used by the contractor to achieve that level of performance. The principal method of surveillance will be by unscheduled inspections of selected tasks as they are performed.

3. CONTRACT INSPECTORS: Contract Inspectors for this contract are employees of the Internal Revenue Service's Building Delegation Section at the IRS Atlanta Submission Center and are responsible for the day to day inspection and monitoring of the Contractor's work. The responsibilities of the inspectors include, but are not limited to: inspecting the work to insure compliance with the contract terms and conditions; documenting through written inspection reports the results of all inspections conducted; following through to assure that all defects or omissions are corrected; conferring with representatives of the Contractor regarding any problems encountered in the performance of the work and generally assisting the COTR in carrying out his responsibilities. The primary method of inspection will be unscheduled inspections.

4. USE of the QASP:
	a. The COTR will use the QASP to:

(1) as the basis for documentation of inspections as outlined in this surveillance plan;

(2) ensure that adequate inspections are made to determine that Contractor is providing service according to contracts terms and conditions.

(3) select tasks, areas, and times for inspection to ensure that all tasks and posts are  periodically inspected.

b. 	Monthly checklists will be used to record information on observations and defects. Each defect observed will be recorded on the checklists. These documents will then become a formal government record for later reference. The tally of defects observed at the end of each month will be compared to the maximum allowable degree of deviation. Any discrepancies detected during the course of the surveillance, even if not of sufficient degree to render the service unsatisfactory in terms of the maximum allowable degree of deviation, will require corrective action by the contractor, if appropriate/ possible. Specifics concerning any errors will be recorded in the “Remarks” area of the checklist(s). The Contractor’s representative will be asked to initial any such entry.

c. 		If, at the conclusion of the month’s inspections, it is found that the number of defects exceed the maximum allowable degree of deviation that service may be considered unsatisfactory.  If performance in any area is judged unsatisfactory, based on scheduled inspections, the contractor will be given a Contract Discrepancy Report (CDR) by the COTR. When completed and signed, the CDR, along with the 	checklists, becomes the documentation supporting payment, reduced payment, nonpayment, or other actions as necessary.

d. 	During the course of the month, the COTR may receive customer complaints about the quality of service. Each complaint received shall be validated by the COTR to the extent feasible to ensure the service was required and that the standard was not met.  If surveillance shows that a specific service is unsatisfactory, customer complaints may be used by the COTR as further evidence of unsatisfactory performance. 

5.	Evaluation Procedures.  

a. Unscheduled Inspections Unscheduled inspections may be conducted at any time.  Performance defects observed during unscheduled inspections will be documented on an inspection checklist.  Inspectors may observe performance of any tasks at anytime that work is being performed and evaluate performance of the Work Requirements.  

A Pass (P) or Fail (F) rating will be assigned each task inspected, based on the Performance Criteria listed below.  Any Work Requirement task reasonably unavailable for inspection will receive a neutral rating. A brief description of observed defects or actions taken will be 

Customer Complaints: The Inspector will record and attempt to validate each customer complaint received.  Only complaints validated by the inspector will be documented as an observed defect. 

1.	Documented Defects. Copies of documented performance defects will be provided to the
Contractor within 24 hours of validation by the COTR. Performance defects represent a loss in value to the Government and are subject to payment deductions. Refer to Section E, Payment adjustment Clause.

Analysis of Results.  

a.   A the end of the month, the COTR will summarize the results of the inspections; compare the number of satisfactory performance ratings to maximum allowable degree of deviation for each Work Requirement and review documented defects, determine if monitoring needs to be increased, and, calculate recommended payment deductions for documented defects in accordance with the "Payment Adjustment Clause" in Section E.  

b. The COTR will monitor the Contractor's overall performance and recommend appropriate administrative actions to the Contracting Officer when performance is less than satisfactory.

Contractor shall ensure that correct soil conditions are maintained for each tree, shrub, flower, grass or plant in order to promote optimum growth, correct environment, and obvious good health. 
 Fertilizer shall contain proper nutrients and shall not be offensive to the smell.

PRIMARY METHOD OF SURVEILLANCE:  Unscheduled Inspections

LOT SIZE:  Number of times service required.

ACCEPTABLE QUALITY LEVEL (AQL):  If Random Sampling is used, within each month there shall be no more than the number of defects allowed by the Performance Requirements Summary in the performance of this required service.  Defective performance in excess of the AQL is "Unsatisfactory". 

LEVEL OF SURVEILLANCE:  This sampling plan (QASP # B) will be used initially for contract inspection.  Based on observed defects in contract performance, subsequent inspection may be either reduced or
tightened.  

SAMPLE LOT SIZE:  The sample lot size for the evaluation period will be based on the current level of inspection and the quality of work.  It is subject to change based on the results of Unscheduled Inspections and Validated Customer Complaints.

SAMPLING PROCEDURES:   Unscheduled Inspections are performed on tasks scheduled and completed.  All Validated Customer Complaints will initiate inspections by the COTR.

EVALUATION PROCEDURES:  

a. Unscheduled Inspections:  The COTR will visit and observe the selected area at anytime the COTR determines there may be a need to inspect a service requirement or notices deficiencies and evaluate the Work Requirements.  This inspection should occur during or shortly after contractor performance.  Results of each inspection will be documented on an inspection checklist.  A “Satisfactory" or "Unsatisfactory" will be assigned to each task inspected based on the Performance Criteria listed below.  A brief description of observed defects or actions taken will be recorded, if appropriate.  An "Unsatisfactory" rating may require contractor re-performance of the work.  The COTR will ascertain if documented deficiencies were corrected and processes implemented to ensure recurrence of the deficiency is prevented.

b.  Validated Customer Complaints:  Customer Comments, if applicable will be used as added documentation to supplement unscheduled inspections.  The COTR will record and attempt to validate each customer complaint/comment received.  Only complaints validated by the COTR will be documented as observed defects.

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA:  

a.   Performance for each service requirement contains several tasks.  The COTR will evaluate  each Service Requirement based on individual tasks.

b. If Random Sampling is used, performance for all service requirements in the lot is considered "Satisfactory" for the sampling period if the number of documented "Unsatisfactory" performance ratings for that specific performance requirement is equal to or less than the AQL.

c. If Random Sampling is used, performance for all service requirements in the lot is considered "Unsatisfactory" for the sampling period if the number of documented "Unsatisfactory" performance ratings for that specific performance requirement exceeds the AQL.

d. Deficiencies not corrected on the spot or processes not implemented to correct and prevent the deficiency is a major deficiency and may result in an "Unsatisfactory" rating.

e. Whether the sample lot is satisfactory/unsatisfactory, each work requirement receiving an unsatisfactory performance rating is subject to a payment deduction.

ANALYSIS OF RESULTS:

a.  Documented Defects:  Within 24 hours of validation by the COTR, copies of documented performance defects will be provided to the Contractor.  Performance defects represent a loss in value to the Government and are subject to payment deductions.  Refer to Section E, E.5.

b. At the end of each month, the COTR will compare the number of unsatisfactory ratings to the AQL for each Service Requirement; review the documented defects received from other than random inspection (i.e. - customer complaints); summarize the results of the inspections; calculate recommended payment deductions for documented defects; and recommend modification of the level of inspection accordingly to the Contracting Officer.  

c. Recommended payment deductions will be taken in accordance with Section E, E.5 Payment Reduction Clause for all documented defects (to include Validated Customer Complaints) and will be calculated as specified in Section E.5 of the contract.

SUGGESTED ACTION:  Based upon the contractor's performance, the COTR may 
recommend corrective action, issuance of CDR and/or changing the level of inspection.

accordance with a plan communicated to the employees involved.)  (See 29 CFR 4.174)

THE OCCUPATIONS WHICH HAVE PARENTHESES AFTER THEM RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS (as 
numbered):

1)  Does not apply to employees employed in a bona fide executive, administrative, 
or professional capacity as defined and delineated in 29 CFR 541.  (See CFR 4.156)

2)  APPLICABLE TO AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS ONLY - NIGHT DIFFERENTIAL:  An employee is 
entitled to pay for all work performed between the hours of 6:00 P.M. and 6:00 A.M. 
at the rate of basic pay plus a night pay differential amounting to 10 percent of 
the rate of basic pay.

3)  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 ordinance, explosives, and incendiary materials.  This 
includes work such as screening, blending, dying, mixing, and pressing of sensitive 
ordance, explosives, and pyrotechnic compositions such as lead azide, black powder

explosives.  Demilitarization, modification, renovation, demolition, and maintenance 
operations on sensitive ordnance, explosives and incendiary materials.  All 
operations involving regrading 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 
ordance, (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 ordance, 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 
ordance, 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.

                         ** NOTES APPLYING TO THIS WAGE DETERMINATION **

Under the policy and guidance contained in All Agency Memorandum No. 159, the Wage 
and Hour Division does not recognize, for section 4(c) purposes, prospective wage 
rates and fringe benefit provisions that are effective only upon such contingencies 
as "approval of Wage and Hour, issuance of a wage determination, incorporation of 
the wage determination in the contract, adjusting the contract price, etc."  (The 
relevant CBA section) in the collective bargaining agreement between (the parties) 
contains contingency language that Wage and Hour does not recognize as reflecting 
"arm's length negotiation" under section 4(c) of the Act and 29 C.F.R. 5.11(a) 
of the regulations.  This wage determination therefore reflects the actual CBA wage 
rates and fringe benefits paid under the predecessor contract.

Source of Occupational Title and Descriptions:

The duties of employees under job titles listed are those described in the 
"Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations," Fourth Edition, January 1993, as 
amended by the Third Supplement, dated March 1997, unless otherwise indicated.  This 
publication may be obtained from the Superintendent of Documents, at 202-783-3238, 
or by writing to the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, 
Washington, D.C. 20402.  Copies of specific job descriptions may also be obtained 
from the appropriate contracting officer.

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.  Such conforming process shall be initiated by 
the contractor prior to the performance of contract work by such unlisted class(es) 
of employees.  The conformed classification, wage rate, and/or fringe benefits shall 
be retroactive to the commencement date of the contract. {See Section 4.6 (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 
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 Wage 
and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 
for review.  (See section 4.6(b)(2) of Regulations 29 CFR Part 4).

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 insure 
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.

As prescribed in 4.1202, insert the following provision: 
Annual Representations and Certifications (Jan 2005) 
(a)(1) If the clause at 52.204-7, Central Contractor Registration, is included in this solicitation, paragraph (b) of this provision applies. 
(2) If the clause at 52.204-7 is not included in this solicitation, and the offeror is currently registered in CCR, and has completed the ORCA electronically, the offeror may choose to use paragraph (b) instead of completing the corresponding individual representations and certifications in the solicitation. The offeror shall indicate which option applies by checking one of the following boxes: 
[  ] (i) Paragraph (b) applies. 
[  ] (ii) Paragraph (b) does not apply and the offeror has completed the individual representations and certifications in the solicitation.

(End of provision)   
HELPFUL HINTS FROM SEVEN STEPS TEAM: PWS does a good job of detailing WHAT has to be done, and the performance measures and metrics described in Sections E and J (Att. 4 & 5) do a good job of explaining how contractor performance will be evaluated.  This will require the QA folks to clearly understand the QASP, and follow it closely.  Sec. C.5 should be reduced to say they need a qualified PM on site and that it is the Contractor’s responsibility to provide trained employees.
