practicable.

The Contractor shall, in accordance with TOs issued by the Contracting
Officer (CO), perform work assignments within the parameters of the

individual TOs will be issued at the beginning of each contract year for
a full year's performance of work required under Contract Line Item
Numbers (CLIN) 0002 and 0003.

The services to be ordered hereunder for CLINs 0002 and 0003 (see Table
below) shall be reimbursed in accordance with the provisions of the
clauses herein entitled Allowable Cost and Payment (FAR 52.216-7), the
terms of which are construed to apply, on an individual basis, to each
TO issued. For the purpose of establishing a provisional award fee for
each TO issued under this contract, refer to clause B.3 in this section

## B.3 PAYMENT OF AWARD FEE -- IDIQ

\(a\) The award fee specified in Section B of this contract represents
the maximum fee that shall be paid for each respective CLIN under this
contract. This fee shall be paid, subject to any adjustment required by
other provisions of this contract, in installments at the time of each
provisional payment for reimbursement of allowable cost.

\(b\) A provisional award fee amount shall be established for each TO
issued under this contract. The provisional award fee amount established
shall be in direct ratio to the total contract CLIN award fee as the
total estimated cost established in the TO is to the total estimated
contract cost for that CLIN. The Contractor may bill up to a maximum of
75 percent of this provisional award fee pending final award fee
determination. The amount requested in any invoice for provisional award
fee payment shall also be proportionate to the amount of allowable cost
identified in that particular invoice.

\(c\) Provisional award fee payments made during an evaluation period
will be superseded by the final award fee determination for that period.
If provisional payments for that period have exceeded the amount earned
by the Contractor as established by the award fee determination, the
Contractor will either credit the next payment voucher for the amount of
such overpayment or refund the difference to the Government as directed
by the CO.

\(d\) If the CO determines that the Contractor will not achieve the

# SECTION G - CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION DATA

## G.1 1252.242-73 CONTRACTING OFFICER\'S TECHNICAL REPRESENTATIVE (OCT 1994) 

The Contracting Officer may designate Government personnel to act as the
Contracting Officer\'s Technical Representative (COTR) to perform
functions under the contract such as review and/or inspection and
acceptance of supplies and services, including construction and other
functions of a technical nature. The Contracting Officer will provide a
written notice of such designation to the Contractor within five working
days after contract award or for construction, not less than five
working days prior to giving the Contractor the notice to proceed. The
designation letter will set forth the authorities and limitations of the
COTR under the contract.

The Contracting Officer cannot authorize the COTR or any other
representative to sign documents (i.e., contracts, contract
modifications, etc.) that require the signature of the Contracting
Officer.

## G.2 RESPONSIBILITY FOR CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION (JULY 2004) 

[Contracting Officer]{.underline}: The Contracting Officer (CO) has the
overall responsibility for this contract. The CO alone, without
delegation, is authorized to take actions on behalf of the Government to
amend, modify, or deviate from the contract terms, conditions,
requirements, specifications, details and/or delivery schedules.
However, the CO may delegate certain other responsibilities to his/her
authorized representatives.

[Administrative Contracting Officer]{.underline}: An Administrative
Contracting Officer (ACO) may be designated by the Contracting Officer.
The duties of an ACO include but are not limited to: analyzing and
making recommendations on the Contractor\'s proposals, offers, or
quotations upon request of the Contracting Officer and approving
Contractor\'s invoices in accordance with the terms of the contract.

[Job Order Initiator]{.underline} - The CO may designate the Job Order
Initiator in a job order to act as a representative of the CO to perform
the duties of the COTR in connection with the technical oversight of
individual job orders.

The CO, the ACO, and Job Order Initiators are, unless otherwise
indicated, located at:

> DOT/RSPA/VOLPE CENTER
>
> 55 Broadway
>
> Cambridge, MA 02142-1093

## G.3 ACCOUNTING AND APPROPRIATION DATA (MAY 1999) 

Each individual Task Order shall specify the Accounting and
Appropriation Data from which payment shall be made.

## G.4 PAYMENTS UNDER COST REIMBURSEMENT CONTRACTS (MAY 1999) 

A. One original and five copies of an invoice or contract financing
requests or invoices shall be submitted covering the amount claimed to
be due and services rendered and cost incurred thereunder. Under
indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts, separate invoices or
contract financing requests must be submitted for each task. However,
all interim payment requests for tasks under the contract must be
submitted concurrently each month and only one contract level completion
invoice shall be submitted. The completion (final) invoice is the last
voucher to be submitted for incurred, allocable, and allowable costs
expended to perform all Task Orders issued under the contract. This
contract-level voucher should include all reserves, allowable cost
withholdings, balance of fixed fee, etc. The final contract level
invoice shall include current and cumulative charges for amounts claimed
under each task by major cost element and the fixed fee relative to each
task. NOTE: Under no circumstances can funds obligated under one task be
used to pay costs incurred or fee earned under another task.

B. In addition to the information required by FAR 52.216-7 and FAR
52.232-25 incorporated by reference in Section I, an invoice or contract
financing payment request must meet the following requirements:

\(1\) Consecutively number each interim payment request beginning with
No. 1 for each task.

\(2\) The voucher shall include current and cumulative charges by major
cost element such as direct labor, overhead, and other direct costs.
Cite direct labor hours incurred by the prime Contractor and each
subcontractor. Other direct costs must be identified, e.g., travel, per
diem, material, and equipment.

\(3\) Requests for contract financing or invoices must clearly indicate
the period of performance for which payment is requested and Volpe
Center accounting information necessary to process payments. When
contracts or Task Orders contain multiple lines of accounting data,
charges that cannot be assigned to a single line of accounting
information should be allocated based on the percentage of total dollars
unless otherwise specified.

\(4\) When the Contractor submits vouchers on a monthly basis, the
period covered by invoices or requests for contract financing payments
must be the same as the period for monthly progress reports reported
under the contract or tasks. If, in accordance with FAR 52.216-7, the
Contractor submits requests for invoices or contract financing payments
more frequently than monthly, one payment request per month must have
the same ending period as the monthly progress report.

\(5\) Pending settlement of the final indirect rates for any period, the
Contractor shall be reimbursed at billing rates approved by the
Cognizant Federal Agency (CFA). The Contractor shall ensure that any
change in the identity of the CFA responsible for establishment of its
indirect rate factors is made known to the Volpe Center CO. These rates
are subject to appropriate adjustments when revised by mutual agreement
or when the final indirect rates are settled either by mutual agreement
or unilateral determination by the CFA (see FAR 42.704). In accordance
with FAR 52.216-7, the Contractor shall submit to the CFA a proposal for
final indirect rates based on the Contractor\'s actual costs for the
period, together with all supporting data. In addition, Contractors are
required by the CFA to submit billing rate proposals, usually no later
than 30 days after the close of its fiscal year, for the ensuing fiscal
year to the CFA. Copies of the cover letter submitting the proposal must
be provided to the Volpe Center CO. The Contractor\'s failure to provide
the rate proposal in a timely manner may impact payment of financing
request and could ultimately result in suspension of the indirect
expense portion. The Contractor shall provide copies of all rates
established by the CFA to the Volpe Center CO. It is imperative that the
CO be provided signed copies of all rate agreements since these rate
agreements must be in the possession of the Volpe Center before any
rates contained therein can be utilized by the Contractor for cost
reimbursement.

## G.5 VOUCHER REVIEW (MAY 1999) 

The Government may at its sole discretion arrange for a Contractor to
review vouchers and supporting data submitted for payment under the
provisions of this contract. The Contractor reviewing vouchers and
supporting data will perform this function in accordance with contract
provisions, which prohibit disclosure of proprietary financial data or
use of such data for any purpose other than to perform accounts payable
services.

## G.6 EXTENDED WORK WEEK AUTHORIZATION (JULY 2004)

The Contractor shall submit all requests for an extended work week to
the COTR for approval. All requests must be supported in writing by the
appropriate job order initiator. Any request for an extended work week
that would have an impact on estimated job order cost must be further
supported by an authorized modification to job order. (NOTE: This
extended work week approval process does not replace or supersede the
requirements of either FAR Clause 52.222-2 "Payment for Overtime
Premiums" or FAR Clause 52.222-41 "Service Contract Act of 1965, as
Amended," "both of which are contained in Section I of this contract.)

## G.7 COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEMS (MAY 1999) 

A. Cost Accounting System

The Contractor shall maintain a job cost accounting system that will
accumulate costs incurred for each Task Order separately.

B. Task Order Proposal Preparation Cost

Submission of proposals in response to Task Order RFPs is not mandatory.
Bid and proposal expenses incurred in connection with the preparation of
Task Order proposals will be reimbursed in accordance with established
practices; however, bid and proposal costs will not be reimbursed as
direct costs.

C. Uncompensated Overtime

(The term \"contract proposals\" as used in this clause refers to
proposals, which may result in initial contract award. \"Task order
proposals\" refers to proposals received in response to Task Order
RFPs.)

Uncompensated overtime is defined as hours worked by Fair Labor
Standards Act exempt employees in excess of 40 hours per week for which
no compensation is paid in excess of normal weekly salary. An
Offeror/subcontractor may include uncompensated overtime in its cost
proposal only if the practice is consistent with its established
accounting practices.

The Contractor/subcontractor\'s accounting system must record all direct
and indirect hours worked, including uncompensated overtime.

Only those Contractors/subcontractors who included uncompensated effort
in their contract proposals may utilize this accounting practice in a
Task Order proposal or during performance. Similarly, Task Order
proposals must include uncompensated effort consistent with contract
Cost Proposals. Task order proposals, which deviate from contract
proposals, must include an explanation for the deviation for the
Contracting Officer\'s consideration.

The following clause will be included in each Task Order when the
awardee or subcontractors included uncompensated overtime in their Task
Order proposals:

This Task Order is based upon the Contractor\'s Task Order proposal
dated \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ in which, of the total
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ hours required, \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ hours
are estimated to be uncompensated as shown below.

Prime Contractor Workweek

Prime

Subcontractor Workweek

Subcontractor Name:\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

Division:\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

Task Order Total Compensated Uncompensated

Labor Category Hours Hours Hours

During performance, the Contractor must provide compensated and
uncompensated hours in at least the same ratio as shown in the above
schedule by labor category. If the Contractor anticipates that the ratio
will not be achieved by the completion of the Task Order, the Contractor
shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing, identifying the
expected shortfall. The Contractor must offer to furnish the total
level-of-effort included in the Task Order at no additional cost or fee.
The notice shall be provided sufficiently in advance of the completion
of the Task Order to allow the performance of all such hours within the
Task Order term and within the total estimated cost and fixed fee for
the Task Order. If the Contractor fails to provide such notice
sufficiently in advance, the Contracting Officer at his/her sole
discretion shall have the option of:

\(1\) extending the term of the Task Order and requiring that the
Contractor provide the total level of effort at no extra cost to the
Government, or

\(2\) reducing the cost to be reimbursed by an amount calculated by
multiplying the number of hours of unworked uncompensated overtime by
the average burdened labor rate for those labor categories and reducing
the fixed-fee proportionately. The Contractor shall indicate on his
invoices and on any contract data items for cost/schedule status all
hours worked, both compensated and uncompensated.

# SECTION H - SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS 

## H.1 SECURITY MEASURES ON THE VOLPE CENTER PREMISES (JUN 2004)

> Contractor shall provide written evidence to the CO and COTR of the
> return of the items of Government Property noted in (4) above. The
> return of these items of property shall be coordinated with the Volpe
> Center Security Operations Office.

## H.2 PERFORMANCE OF WORK AND SAFETY PROVISIONS ON GOVERNMENT PREMISES (MAY 1997) 

Any work under this contract which is performed by the Contractor or any
of its subcontractors on premises that are under direct control of the
Government, is subject to the following provisions:

(1) Performance of work on Government premises shall be confined to the
    area(s) specified by the CO or this duly authorized representative.
    In performance of this work, the Contractor shall: (a) conform to
    all safety rules and requirements as in effect during the term of
    the contract; and (b) take such additional precautions as the CO may
    reasonably require for safety and accident prevention purposes.

(2) The Contractor shall designate to the CO, in writing, an
    on-the-premises representative to serve as point of contact.

(3) Any violation of applicable safety rules and requirements shall be
    promptly corrected as directed by the CO.

## H.3 HOURS OF WORK (DEC 1998) 

Contractor and subcontractor employees performing work under this
contract on Volpe Center premises shall adhere to the Volpe Center's
established business hours, except as may be required by this contract
to accomplish the performance of the work, or except as may be required
by the CO or his/her designated representative.

The Volpe Center will be closed during the 10 holidays observed by the
Federal Government on a yearly basis. The listed Federal holidays are
the only holidays observed:

> New Year's Day Labor Day
>
> Martin Luther King Day Columbus Day
>
> President's Day Veterans Day
>
> Memorial Day Thanksgiving Day
>
> Independence Day Christmas Day

When Government employees are excused from duty without loss of pay by
Executive Order or by official closing of the Volpe Center, Contractor
employees who are assigned for duty at the Volpe Center may be similarly
excused by the Contractor if they are ready, willing, and able to work.
However, direct reimbursement for the cost of salaries and wages for
these excused absences will only be made in emergency situations (e.g.,
severe weather, natural disasters) as determined by the CO or his/her
designated representative. The CO or his/her designated representative
will confirm official closings. This in no way relieves the Contractor
of its responsibility for continuing performance of critical
requirements for which special instructions will be issued to the
Contractor by the CO or designated representative.

## H.4 GPO PRINTING REQUIREMENT (DEC 1998) 

All printing funded by this contract will be accomplished in conformance
with Title 44, United States Code, regulations of the Joint Committee on
Printing, applicable provisions of appropriation acts, and applicable
regulations issued by the Government Printing Office and the Department
of Transportation.

## H.5 ISSUANCE OF TASK ORDERS (OCT 2001) 

Under this contract, as firm work requirements materialize, within the
period of performance set forth herein, and within the funds allotted
hereunder, the CO will direct the Contractor to perform work as
generally described in Section C. The CO will issue such directions to
the Contractor in the form of Task Orders (TOs). Prior to issuance of
any TO, the CO will discuss with the Contractor the work to be
performed, the timing thereof, and will negotiate the estimated cost
thereof. In the event that agreement cannot be reached on the estimated
cost of any TO, the CO may unilaterally determine the estimated cost of
that TO. In such event, the Contractor may seek relief or remedies as
set forth in the Disputes clause. Except as specifically provided
herein, the Government makes no representation as to the number of Task
Orders or the actual amount of work, which will be assigned. The
Contractor shall not perform any work hereunder nor incur any cost
hereunder, until it receives a specific Task Order signed by the CO.
Each TO will contain as a minimum, the following:

1.  Sequential number.

2.  Type of Task Order (e.g., performance-based or level of effort)

3.  Statement of the problem.

4.  Scope of work effort.

5.  Reporting requirements.

6.  Time schedule of performance.

7.  Estimated cost.

8.  Required signature.

9.  Delivery, inspection and final acceptance points.

If a TO will culminate in a report, the TO will specify the type of
report and format required.

## H.6 TASK ORDER LIMITATIONS (DEC 1998) 

The issuance of Task Order(s) (TO) hereunder does not relieve the
Contractor of its responsibilities under Clause 52.232-22, Limitation of
Funds, and/or FAR 52.232-20, Limitation of Costs. The applicable clause,
Limitation of Funds (LOF), for incrementally funded TOs and Limitation
of Costs (LOC), for fully funded TOs apply to individual TOs as well as
to the contract as a whole.

Costs incurred under a TO shall relate only to the performance of the
work called for in that TO. The level of effort or the funds allocated
to a TO may not be applied to work under any other TO issued under the
contract without the written authorization of the CO.

The term \"TO\" shall be substituted for \"schedule\" wherever the word
appears in FAR clauses 52.232-20, Limitation of Cost, or 52.232-22,
Limitation of Funds, as specified. In the event that fully funded work
orders are issued under a TO, the provisions of the appropriate clauses
shall apply to each work order as if it were a TO.

## H.7 INCIDENTAL HARDWARE/SOFTWARE (DEC 1998) 

The acquisition of incidental hardware, software, or supplies may be
appropriate on individual Task Orders in cases where the
hardware/software is incidental to the performance of services to be
provided under the Task Order, and the Government may require the
Contractor to purchase hardware, software, and related supplies to
support specific projects. Such requirements will be identified at the
time a Task Order is issued or may be identified during the course of
performance of a Task Order by the Government or Contractor. If the
Contractor identifies a requirement for miscellaneous supplies within
the scope of a Task Order, the Contractor shall submit to the Government
a request for approval to purchase such materials. The request shall
include a description of the specific items, direct cost, indirect cost,
and rationale.

## H.8 INSURANCE (DEC 1998) 

See Section I - Contract Clause FAR 52.228-7, \"Insurance-Liability to
Third Persons (MAR 1996).\"

The Contractor shall secure, pay the premiums for, and keep in force
until the expiration of this contract, and any renewal thereof, adequate
insurance as provided below.

(1) Workman\'s compensation insurance as required by law of the State.

(2) Comprehensive bodily injury liability insurance with limits of not
    less than \$500,000 for each accident.

(3) Property damage liability with a limit of not less than \$100,000
    for each accident.

(4) Automotive bodily injury liability insurance with limits of not less
    than \$200,000 for each person and \$500,000 for each accident, and
    property damage liability insurance, with a limit of not less than
    \$40,000 for each accident.

Each policy of insurance shall contain an endorsement that any
cancellation or material change in the coverage adversely affecting the
Government\'s interest shall not be effective unless the insurer or the
Contractor gives written notice of cancellation or change to the CO at
least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the aforementioned actions.
When the coverage is provided by self-insurance, the Contractor shall
not change or decrease the coverage without the CO\'s prior approval.

A certificate of each policy of insurance shall be furnished to the CO
within ten (10) days after notice of award certifying, among other
things, that the policy contains the aforesaid endorsement. The
insurance companies providing the above insurance shall be satisfactory
to the Government. Notices of policy changes shall be furnished to the
CO.

## H.10 POSITION SENSITIVITY (JUN 2004)

Portions of the work under Section C in some instances will require
contract personnel with security clearances at Confidential or Secret
levels. Cleared personnel must be available at the request of the CO
and/or the Contractor. The Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining
the appropriate security clearance from the Defense Investigative
Service and for ensuring compliance by its employees and
subcontractors(s) with the security regulations of the Government
installation or Contractor (or subcontractor) facility where work is to
be performed.

The Contractor shall comply with the following Position Sensitivity
Designations as defined under [DOT
1630.2B](http://isddc.dot.gov/OLPWeb.ASP?WCI=DocInfo&WCE=id%3D10379%26oa%3Dany%25),
Personnel Security Management. Due to the nature of the work performed
by the Volpe Center's contractor employees, moderate risk has been
designated as the minimum position sensitivity level for all contractor
employees. However, the access certain contractor positions have to DOT
facilities, sensitive information, and/or resources may require a higher
risk sensitivity level. The job order initiator shall identify any
exceptions to the moderate risk designation.

## H.11 SALES TAX EXEMPTION (SEP 1999) 

The Volpe National Transportation Systems Center, as part of the DOT, an
agency of the United States, is an exempt purchaser. Accordingly, all
purchases of personal property by this organization are exempt from
state and local taxation.

The Contractor may be provided with Tax Exemption certificates for the
purpose of obtaining an exemption under this procurement for materials
and equipment purchased under this procurement. Notwithstanding the
terms of the Federal, State, and local Taxes clause, the Contractor
shall state separately on its vouchers the amount of state sales tax,
and the Government agrees to either to pay the amount of the tax to the
Contractor or, where the amount of the tax exceeds \$250.00, to provide
evidence necessary to sustain the exemption.

## H.12 HANDLING OF DATA (MAY 1999) 

The Contractor and any of its subcontractors in performance of this
contract may have need for access to and use of various types of data
and information in the possession of the Government which the Government
obtained under conditions that restrict the Government\'s right to use
and disclose the data and information, or which may be of such a nature
that its dissemination or use other than in the performance of this
contract would be adverse to the interests of the Government or other
parties. Therefore, the Contractor and its subcontractors agree to abide
by any restrictive use conditions on such data and not to:

(1) Knowingly disclose such data and information to others without
    written authorization from the CO, unless the Government has made
    the data and information available to the public; nor

(2) Use for any purpose other than the performance of this contract that
    data which bears a restrictive marking or legend.

In the event the work required to be performed under this contract
requires access to proprietary data of other companies, the Contractor
shall obtain agreements from such other companies for such use unless
such data is provided or made available to the Contractor by the
Government. Two copies of such company-to-company agreements shall be
furnished promptly to the CO for information only. These agreements
shall prescribe the scope of authorized use or disclosure, and other
terms and conditions to be agreed upon between the parties. It is agreed
by the Contractor that any such data, whether obtained by the Contractor
pursuant to the aforesaid agreement or from the Government, shall be
protected from unauthorized use or disclosure to any individual,
corporation, or organization so long as it remains proprietary.

Through formal training in company policy and procedures, the Contractor
agrees to make employees aware of the absolute necessity to maintain the
confidentiality of data and information, as required above, and further
aware of the sanctions which may be imposed for divulging either the
proprietary data of other companies or data that is obtained from the
Government to anyone except as authorized. The Contractor shall obtain
from each employee engaged in any effort connected with this contract an
agreement, in writing, which shall in substance provide that such
employee will not during his/her employment by the Contractor, or
thereafter, disclose to others or use for his/her own benefit or the
future benefit of any individual any trade secrets, confidential
information, or proprietary/restricted data (to include Government \"For
Official Use Only\") received in connection with the work under this
contract. The Contractor shall furnish a sample form of this agreement
to the CO promptly after award.

The Contractor agrees to include the substance of this provision in all
subcontracts awarded under this contract. The CO will consider
case-by-case exceptions from this requirement for individual
subcontracts in the event that

(1) The Contractor considers the application of the prohibitions of this
    provision to be inappropriate and unnecessary in the case of a
    particular subcontractor;

(2) The subcontractor provides a written statement affirming absolute
    unwillingness to perform absent some relief from the substance of
    this prohibition;

(3) Use of an alternate subcontract source would reasonably detract from
    the quality of effort; and

(4) The Contractor provides the CO timely written advance notice of
    these and any other extenuating circumstances.

Except as the CO specifically authorizes in writing, upon completion of
all work under this contract the Contractor shall return all such data
and information obtained from the Government, including all copies,
modifications, adaptations, or combinations thereof, to the CO. Data
obtained from another company shall be disposed of in accordance with
the Contractor\'s agreement with that company, or, if the agreement
makes no provision for disposition, shall be returned to that company.
The Contractor shall further certify in writing to the CO that all
copies, modifications, adaptations or combinations of such data or
information that cannot reasonably be returned to the CO (or to a
company) have been deleted from the Contractor\'s (and any
subcontractor\'s) records and destroyed.

These restrictions do not limit the Contractor\'s (or subcontractor\'s)
right to use and disclose any data and information obtained from another
source without restriction.

As used herein, the term \"data\" has the meaning set forth in Federal
Acquisition Regulations, clause 52.227-14, \"Rights in Data - General,\"
and includes, but is not limited to, computer software, as also defined
in Clause 52.227-14.

## H.13 TRAVEL 

Payment for travel directly related to the performance of work in
accordance with Section C shall not be allowable unless authorized under
a job order. The actual costs for lodging, meals, and incidentals will

per diem rates in effect at the time of travel as set forth in the
Federal Travel Regulations. A written justification must be provided for
higher amounts in special or unusual circumstances in accordance with

voice mail and facsimile machines, for use by Contractor personnel under
this contract located at a Government facility for official use at no

connect these computers to the Volpe Center local area network and
provide network support.

The Volpe Center will generally provide the above equipment and services

mail, and internet services, only in an authorized manner and consistent
with applicable law, and policies, orders, and regulations of the DOT
and the Volpe Center as they may be amended from time to time (See DOT
Orders H1350.2 Ch. 14-3, and Volpe Order 1370.6A).

The Volpe Center routinely monitors use of the internet and electronic
mail for unauthorized use. The Contractor must warn its employees and
subcontractors that they should have no expectation of privacy while
using GFE and services provided by the Government.

The Contractor agrees to include the substance of this clause in company

## I.8 1252.216-71 DETERMINATION OF AWARD FEE (OCT 1994) (DEVIATION)

## (Applicable to CLINs 0002 and 0003)

The Government shall evaluate the Contractor\'s performance at the end
of each specified evaluation period(s) to determine the amount of award.
The Contractor agrees that the amount of award and the award fee
methodology are unilateral decisions to be made at the sole discretion
of the Government.

a.  Contractor performance shall be evaluated according to a Performance
    Evaluation Plan. The Contractor shall be periodically informed of
    the quality of its performance and areas in which improvements are
    expected.

b.  The Contractor shall be promptly advised, in writing, of the
    determination and reasons why the award fee was or was not earned.
    The Contractor may submit a performance self-evaluation for each
    evaluation. The amount of the award is at the sole discretion of the
    Government, but any self-evaluation received within 30 days after
    the end of the current evaluation period will be given such
    consideration as may be deemed appropriate by the Government.

\(c\) The Government may specify that a fee not earned during a given
evaluation period may be accumulated and be available for allocation to
one or more subsequent periods. In that event, the distribution of award
fee shall be adjusted to reflect such allocations.

## I.9 1252.216-72 PERFORMANCE EVALUATION PLAN (OCT 1994) (Applicable to CLINs 0002 and 0003)\*

\(a\) A Performance Evaluation Plan shall be unilaterally established by
the Government based on the criteria stated in the contract and used for
the determination of award fee. This plan shall include the criteria
used to evaluate each area and the percentage of award fee (if any)
available for each area. A copy of the plan shall be provided to the
Contractor thirty (30) calendar days prior to the start of the first
evaluation period.

\(b\) The criteria contained within the Performance Evaluation Plan may
relate to: (1) Technical (including schedule) requirements if
appropriate; (2) Management; and (3) Cost.

\(c\) The Performance Evaluation Plan may, consistent with the contract,
be revised unilaterally by the Government at any time during the period
of performance. Notification of such changes shall be provided to the
Contractor forty-five (45) calendar days prior to the start of the
evaluation period to which the change will apply.

**\* The following evaluation factors and weights will be incorporated
into the Performance Evaluation Plan to be provided to the Contractor in
accordance with this clause.**

# J.2 - JOB ORDER SYSTEM PROCEDURES

**PROJECT MANAGEMENT SUPPORT UNDER THE TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH AND
COMMUNICATIONS EXPERTISE (TRACX) SERVICES CONTRACT**

**Introduction**

The Volpe Center has a portfolio of 300+ transportation and logistics
projects that vary in number, scope, and substance over the course of
any year. The Volpe Center's project management strategy uses a
combination of Federal and Contractor resources to meet the broad range
and quantity of skills needed to accomplish project objectives. The
Transportation Research and Communications Expertise (TRACX) Contract
provides transportation operations research and analysis and
communications expertise to be used in meeting the Volpe Center\'s
programmatic requirements.

**Project Characteristics**

The Contractor shall provide resources capable of completing
results-oriented, performance-based actions in response to job orders
presented by a variety of Volpe Center project leaders. Job order scope,
range of resources, cost estimates, deliverables, and performance
periods vary widely. Periods of performance can range from several hours
to the length of the contract.

**The Job Order System**

The Volpe Center monitors and tracks work performed on the TRACX
contract through a job order system. All work performed under the
contract must be initiated and completed through use of a
performance-based job order with appropriate supporting documentation,
authorization, and certifications. The User Accountability System (UAS)
is the automated information system that supports the job order system.

**1. Initiation of Task**

\"Contact persons\" on the Contractor\'s staff will be identified as the
primary point of contact for each major functional area and/or user
organization at the Volpe Center. This individual is a senior-level
management employee who is thoroughly familiar with the contract scope
and special provisions so that he/she can appropriately advise contract
users on the full range of capabilities available under the contract.
When necessary, the contact person can seek the guidance and/or
participation of the Contracting Officer\'s Technical Representative
(COTR).

To begin the process of obtaining project support under the contract,
the Volpe Center contract user (initiator) must complete Part I of the
TRACX Job Order Initiation Form, Form Z (attached). This action requires
the initiator to describe the project support needed by means of a
Statement of Objectives, including the desired/required outcomes for
this contract support. These project support requirements must be
expressed in terms of results to be accomplished rather than
level-of-effort hours to be provided.

## For job order actions with a cost estimate of less than \$1,000:

-   The initiator will submit a copy of the Form Z with Part I completed
    to the Service Center.

-   The Contractor will assign a job order (UAS) number to the job order
    and proceed with completion of the job order as fully described by
    the Form Z; no further approvals or forms are required.

-   The Contractor will enter the UAS number(s) and associated
    information from the Form Z into the UAS to establish a record
    against which contract labor and travel will be reported.

-   Upon final completion of the job order, the initiator and the
    Contractor will complete the respective performance assessment
    portions of the TRACX Job Order Initiation Form (Form Z, Part V).

-   The Contractor will file the completed Form Z (Parts I through V)
    into its central file.

**For job order actions with a cost estimate of \$1,000 to \$2,500:**

-   The initiator will e-mail an electronic copy of the Form Z with Part
    I completed to the appropriate Contractor point of contact for
    further action along with concurrent copies to the Contracting
    Officer (CO) and COTR for process tracking and oversight purposes.

-   The Contractor may contact the initiator to schedule a brief
    discussion of the project performance requirements, leading to
    completion of the Contractor's response to the Statement of
    Objectives, including cost, schedule, and delivery components (Form
    Z, Part II) along with assignment of a job order (UAS) number and
    title.

-   The Contractor and initiator will then collaboratively identify the
    appropriate performance metrics associated with accomplishment of
    this job order, expressed in terms of quality, schedule, and cost
    considerations (Form Z, Part III).

-   The initiator will specify the monitoring method(s) that he/she will
    use to confirm Contractor performance (Form Z, Part IV).

-   The initiator and the appropriate Contractor lead will then sign a
    paper copy of this Form Z.

-   The signed Form Z is combined with a Job Request Form, Form A
    (Figure 1) that is prepared by the Contractor and approved in
    accordance with Volpe Center Announcement #95-27 dated 8/31/95
    (Figure 2).

-   Once all necessary approvals are obtained, the Form A is forwarded
    to the Volpe Center Financial Management Division for certification
    and commitment of funds. Concurrently, the Contractor will e-mail an
    electronic copy of the completed (through Part IV) Form Z to the CO
    and the COTR for informational purposes.

-   The UAS number(s) and associated information are entered into the
    UAS to establish a record against which contract labor and travel
    will be reported.

-   The Contractor will proceed with completion of the job order as
    fully described by Form Z.

```{=html}

```
-   Upon final completion of the job order, the initiator and the
    Contractor will complete the respective performance assessment
    portions of the TRACX Job Order Initiation Form (Form Z, Part V).

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   The Contractor will file the completed Form Z (Parts I through V)
    into its central file.

**For those proposed job orders with a cost estimate exceeding \$2,500
in value:**

-   The initiator will e-mail an electronic copy of the Form Z with Part
    I completed to the appropriate Contractor point of contact for
    further action along with concurrent copies to the CO and COTR for
    process tracking and oversight purposes.

-   The Contractor may contact the initiator to schedule a brief
    discussion of the project performance requirements, leading to
    completion of the Contractor's response to the Statement of
    Objectives, including cost, schedule and delivery components (Form
    Z, Part II) along with assignment of a job order (UAS) number and
    title.

-   The Contractor and initiator will then collaboratively identify the
    appropriate performance metrics associated with accomplishment of
    this job order, expressed in terms of quality, schedule and cost
    considerations (Form Z, Part III).

-   The initiator will specify the monitoring method(s) that he/she will
    use to confirm Contractor performance (Form Z, Part IV).

-   The initiator and the appropriate Contractor lead will then sign a
    paper copy of this Form Z.

-   The signed Form Z is combined with a Job Request Form, Form A
    (Figure 1) that is prepared by the Contractor and approved in
    accordance with Volpe Center Announcement #95-27 dated 8/31/95
    (Figure 2).

-   Once all necessary approvals are obtained, the Form A is forwarded
    to the Volpe Center Financial Management Division for certification
    and commitment of funds. Concurrently, the Contractor will e-mail an
    electronic copy of the completed (through Part IV) Form Z to the CO
    and the COTR.

-   The CO is responsible for reviewing the job order for
    appropriateness, accuracy, and completeness within 24 hours of
    receipt of the e-mail from the Contractor.

-   The UAS number(s) and associated information is entered into the UAS
    to establish a record against which contract labor and travel will
    be reported.

-   Unless previously notified by the CO of problems with the job order,
    the Contractor will proceed with completion of the job order as
    fully described by Form Z if the total estimated value of the effort
    is \$25,000 or less.

-   If the value of the job order exceeds \$25,000 and assuming CO
    approval within 24 hours, the Contractor will proceed to the next
    phase of the job order process, the completion of a detailed
    performance-based Job Order Plan for accomplishment of the required
    effort. Routing, review, and approval of the Job Order Plan will
    follow the same cycle as previously described for the job order
    initiation process.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Upon final completion of the job order, the initiator and the
    Contractor will complete the respective performance assessment
    portions of the TRACX Job Order Initiation Form (Form Z, Part V).

-   The Contractor will file the completed Form Z (Parts I through V)
    into its central file.

**2. Support of a Job Order**

Once the job order is underway, the Contractor will maintain contact
with the initiator to keep him/her aware of the progress and status of
the task. This is done through periodic meetings with the initiator and
through status reports submitted to the initiator, the COTR, and the CO.
These progress reports are submitted at intervals as specified in the
job order and as part of the Contractor\'s reporting requirements.
Unless otherwise specified in the job order, these reports contain in
narrative form the accomplishments of the time period involved along
with the planned work for the following period, a description of any
problem areas encountered, and a status of project activity and funding.
When appropriate, the Contractor will hold technical discussions with
the initiator to review intermediate results and clarify any problems
that may arise.

If during the support of a job order the job order objectives and/or
cost estimates, the milestone schedules, or the deliverables change
significantly, the Contractor must develop and submit for approval the
new task specification/ requirements. The procedures in such a case are
the same as those set forth for developing a new task specification,
including the fundamental requirement that all such changes must be
described in terms of performance based actions.

## J.3 - GOVERNMENT FURNISHED PROPERTY LIST

**TBD**

## J.4 - USER ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM FORMATS AND REPORTS

A.  **INTRODUCTION**

The User Accountability System (UAS) is an automated information system
that supports the Transportation Research Analysis and Communications
Expertise (TRACX) contract. The objective of the system is:

1.  To provide contract users with weekly reports reflecting (1) current
    (weekly, month-to-date, and year-to-date) task estimates
    (commitments), and (2) current utilization (obligations);

2.  To provide the COTR with data essential to monitoring the TRACX
    Contract;

3.  To generate reports used by the Contractor\'s management staff to
    manage activity at the task level; and

4.  To provide for automatic generation and input of charges into the
    Center\'s Financial Management System.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
B.  **INPUT TO UAS**

The UAS is dependent upon two main sources of input: Job Order Forms and
Contractor Labor Charges.

> **1. Job Order Form**
>
> The Job Order Form, also known as the UAS Form A (Figure 1), is the
> source document for establishing a task under the contract. This form
> is also used to revise, modify, or delete a task once it has been
> established. The controlling element is the Job Number. The Financial
> Management Division also uses this form as the official document for
> commitment of program funds once the appropriate approvals have been
> obtained. The information from these forms is entered into the UAS to
> create or update a job order record. The detailed specifications and
> descriptions of the task are provided by the Job Order Initiator or
> the Contractor Task Leader and attached to the Form A.
>
> **2. Contractor Labor Charges**
>
> Each week the Contractor provides the UAS Manager with a breakdown of
> hours used in support of each task. This information is entered into
> the UAS whereby the time and cost figures are updated for each task
> according to a pre-established rate structure.

C.  **RESPONSIBILITY**

The UAS is run twice weekly. The first run is a preliminary run to input
weekly labor charges. This system update is scheduled for close of
business (COB) each Monday. (COB Tuesday is the latest this update can
take place.) It is the Contractor\'s responsibility to provide the UAS
System Manager with a labor file on a timely basis. The second run
(which takes place on Wednesday of the same week) will process labor
adjustments, if any. During the run, files and reports are produced for
the Financial Management Division to update the Volpe Center\'s
financial management systems. These files and reports must be turned
over to the Volpe Center\'s Financial Management Division on Thursday of
each week.

D.  **OUTPUT**

The UAS provides reports on a weekly basis. As a rule, weekly closings
are on Wednesday of each week and monthly closings are as of the last
Saturday of each month. Closings generate the only official UAS reports
and data. Unofficial UAS reports and data are generated by the
preliminary runs and serve as an aid in the function of monitoring
project activity.

E.  **USER ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM (UAS) REPORTS**

There are multiple reports generated by UAS for the administration and
monitoring of the operation/performance of the contract. The
distribution of these reports varies with requirements. The reports are
designed to satisfy the specific needs of functional areas and to
provide current technical and financial information to Volpe Center
Manager, Job Order Initiators, and the Contracting Officer\'s Technical
Representative (COTR).

\*\* 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 \*\*

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,

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) and computes a proposed rate).

2\) After contract award, the contractor prepares a written report
listing in order proposed classification title), a Federal grade
equivalency (FGE) for each

proposed classification), job description), and rationale for proposed
wage

rate), 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.
