Instructions to Contracting Officer

This solicitation is for make-ready (minor repairs/maintenance). Major
repairs are not covered. Handle major repairs as a separate procurement
action.

[General]{.underline}

1\. The Contracting Officer (CO) [MUST]{.underline} mark any clause
which is modified at post with a double asterisk (\*\*), unless the
instructions for that clause in the model expressly state that post
should modify the clause to reflect post specifics.

2\. The rationale for this modification [MUST]{.underline} be included
in the memo requesting review from A/OPE.

3\. Delete asterisk from document before issuing the solicitation.

-   Acquisition Method, post should consider the following alternatives
    before using this solicitation:

> \(a\) Personal Service Agreements (PSA's); or
>
> \(b\) Simplified Acquisitions \-- by using a Purchase Order or Blanket
> Purchase Agreement if total services will not exceed \$100,000
> annually.
>
> Only if these alternatives are not feasible should post consider using
> this solicitation.

-   Type of Make-Ready Services Performed: The line-item price list in
    Section B includes many different types of services associated with
    make-ready work. Tailor the items on this list, along with the
    corresponding standards and specifications in Section C, to meet
    post's needs.

> Fixed prices provide additional incentive to the contractor to
> complete work in a timely manner. Services should be priced by the
> square meter or by the unit, rather than by labor hours to make the
> contract easier to administer.

-   Replacement Parts and Materials:

> Consider who will be supplying spare parts and materials.
>
> Prepare the solicitation to reflect what the offerors will provide
> versus what the Government will provide.
>
> This model is written with the assumption the contractor provides all
> materials; change this to reflect any Government-provided items.

-   Work In Restricted Areas: If the successful firm will be required to
    perform make-ready services in restricted areas where an escort will
    be required, ensure the RSO defines such areas and a contract clause
    is written for Section H that requires the contractor to submit
    advance notice before work begins in that area so that an escort can
    be arranged.

> The attached model solicitation (Request for Quotations or RFQ) is
> prepared in the commercial item format prescribed in FAR 12.303.
>
> Please note we have deleted **DOSAR 652.216-71 the Economic Price
> Adjustment Clause (EPA) from Section B** of this model. It has been
> determined that the contractor should assume the risk and negate the
> need for further cost/analysis and re-negotiations to be done at
> posts. This applies to posts where the minimum wage and labor cost
> increases are standard, increases do not fluctuate substantially, and
> market forces and price competition have been shown to be fair and
> reasonable. Please contact your desk officer if you feel it is
> necessary to include this clause.

52.204-7 Central Contractor Registration (JULY 2006)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause-

\"Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database\" means the primary
Government repository for Contractor information required for the
conduct of business with the Government.

\"Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number\" means the 9-digit
number assigned by Dun and Bradstreet, Inc. (D&B) to identify unique
business entities.

\"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, to include validation of the
Taxpayer Identification number (TIN) with the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS), and has marked the record \"Active\". The Contractor will be
required to provide consent for TIN validation to the government as a
part of the CCR registration process.

\(b\) (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).
>
> \(v\) Company Telephone Number.
>
> \(vi\) 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.

When the contracting officer has a reasonable expectation that
[no]{.underline} covered contractor employees (see PIB 2004-32 on OPE
intranet site for definition of covered versus non covered employees)
will be included in the offers (e.g., offers will come from local
overseas contractors and the work is to be performed in a country [that
has local workers' compensation laws]{.underline}), the contracting
officer shall include the following FAR clause and DOSAR provision in
the solicitation:

-   FAR clause 52.228-4, *Workers' Compensation and War-Hazard Insurance
    Overseas*; place in Section I\
    .

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Provision entitled *Defense Base Act -- Covered Contractor
    Employees*; place in Section K*.*

If, in response to the solicitation, any offeror knows that they will
employ covered employees, the offeror is required to notify the
contracting officer prior to the closing date. The contracting officer
shall then amend the solicitation to add a line item in Section B (see
sample language in B.2.7 and actual item in B.3.6 of the LGP model).
Also add the following clauses/provisions:

-   FAR clause 52.228-3, *Workers' Compensation Insurance (Defense Base
    Act)*; place in Section I.

    Base Act) -- Services*; place in Section I.

-   DOSAR provision 652.228-74, *Defense Base Act Insurance Rates --
    Limitation* (DEVIATION); place in Section L.

Offerors shall be given additional time to incorporate the DBA
contractor rates into their proposed prices.

[American Business Sources]{.underline}

If you know or expect that American businesses may submit a proposal,
you must include the following solicitation provision, in addition to
the other certifications contained in this solicitation. This
certification is used to determine whether the firm is considered small
by the Small Business Administration (SBA).

If you receive an offer from a small business, and you determine that
firm to be non-responsible, you must refer the matter to A/OPE and
A/SDBU for referral to SBA. SBA will then determine whether to issue a
Certificate of Competency (SBA) attesting to the firm\'s ability to
perform the contract. For more information, see FAR 19.000(b) and 19.6.

    Identify each material by the manufacturer\'s catalog number and
    general classification.

(3) **Single Source Responsibility**: Provide primers and undercoat
    paint produced by the same manufacturer as the finish coats.

(4) **Material Quality**: Provide the manufacturer\'s best quality trade
    sale type paint material. Paint material containers not displaying
    manufacturer\'s product identification will not be acceptable.

(5) Deliver materials to the job site in manufacturer\'s original,
    unopened packages and containers bearing manufacturer\'s name and
    label with trade name and manufacturer\'s instructions.

(6) Store materials not in use in tightly covered containers in a
    well-ventilated area at a minimum ambient temperature of 45 degrees
    F (7 degrees C). Protect from freezing. Keep storage area neat and
    orderly. Remove oily rags and waste daily.

(7) **Project Conditions**: Do not apply paint when the relative
    humidity exceeds 85 percent, at temperatures less than 5 degrees F
    (3 degrees C) above the dew point, or to damp or wet surfaces. Apply
    paint only in temperatures in accordance with manufacturer\'s
    specifications.

(8) Examine substrates and conditions under which painting will be
    performed for compliance with requirements. Do not begin application
    until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.

(9) **Preparation:** Remove hardware and hardware accessories, plates,
    > light fixtures, and items in place that are not to be painted, or
    > provide protection such as taping prior to surface preparation and
    > painting (taping includes windows, door jams, etc.).

(10) Clean and prepare surfaces to be painted following manufacturer\'s
     instructions before applying paint or surface treatments. Remove
     oil, dust, and direct, loose rust, mildew, peeling paint or other
     contamination to ensure good adhesion. In some cases, the
     contractor may be requested to remove all existing coats of paint
     and sealers if prior paint application is showing signs of improper
     adhesion, such as peeling, or chipping. All surfaces must be clean
     and dry. Schedule cleaning and painting so dust and other
     contaminants will not fall on wet, newly painted surfaces.

(11) Notify the Contracting Officer or COR of problems anticipated for
     any minor preparatory work required, such as but not limited to,
     filling nail holes, cleaning surfaces to be painted, and priming
     any requisite areas. Plan preparatory work as most units in

     be primed or sealed. Replace all electrical switches and plugs with
     new covers after painting.

(12) **Materials Preparation**: Mix and prepare paint following
     manufacturer\'s directions.

(13) **Application:** Apply paint following manufacturer\'s directions.

     base paint that matches as closely as possible to the existing
     color on the exterior of the property, or a color as otherwise
     specified by the COR. Before painting, scrape, sand, fill and prime
     the surface with a latex base primer. The contractor should plan on
     extensive preparatory work before painting. Do not apply exterior
     paint in snow, rain, fog or mist; or when the relatively humidity
     exceeds 85 percent; or to damp or wet surfaces.

(iii) Provide finish coats that are compatible with primers used.

(iv) The number of coats and film thickness required is the same
     regardless of application method. Do not apply succeeding coats
     until previous coat has cured. Sand between applications where
     required to produce a smooth, even surface.

(v) Apply additional coats when undercoats or other conditions show
    through final coat, until paint film is of uniform finish, color,
    and appearance.

```{=html}

     Do not re-coat until paint has dried.

(15) **Minimum Coating Thickness**: Apply materials at the
     manufacturer\'s recommended spreading rate. Provide total dry film
     thickness of the system as recommended by the manufacturer.

(16) **Prime Coats**: Before application of finish coats, apply a prime
     coat as recommended by the manufacturer to material required to be
     painted or finished, and has not been prime coated.

(17) **Brush Application**: Brush out and work brush coats into surfaces
     in an even film. Eliminate cloudiness, spotting, laps, brush marks,
     runs, sags, ropiness, or other surface imperfections. Draw neat
     glass lines and color breaks.

(18) Apply primers and first coats by brush unless manufacturer\'s
     instructions permit use of mechanical applicators.

(19) **Mechanical Applications**: Use mechanical methods for paint
     application when permitted by manufacturer\'s recommendations,
     governing ordinances, and trade union regulations.

(20) Wherever spray application is used, apply each coat to provide the
     equivalent hiding of brush-applied coats. Do not double-back with
     spray equipment to build up film thickness of two coats in one
     pass, unless recommended by the manufacturer.

(21) Upon completion of painting, clean glass and paint-spattered
     > surfaces. Remove spattered paint by washing, scraping or other
     > methods, using care not to scratch or damage adjacent finished

(a) *Definition*. As used in this clause---

*United States* means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto
Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the U.S.
Virgin Islands, and Wake Island.

\(b\) Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this clause, during the
term of this contract, the Contractor shall post a notice, in the form
of a poster, informing employees of their rights concerning union
membership and payment of union dues and fees, in conspicuous

places in and about all its plants and offices, including all places
where notices to employees are customarily posted. The notice shall
include the following information (except that the information
pertaining to National Labor Relations Board shall not be

included in notices posted in the plants or offices of carriers subject
to the Railway Labor Act, as amended (45 U.S.C. 151-- 188)).

Notice to Employees

Under Federal law, employees cannot be required to join a union or
maintain membership in a union in order to retain their jobs. Under
certain conditions, the law permits a union and an employer to enter
into a union-security agreement requiring employees to pay uniform
periodic dues and initiation fees. However, employees who are not union
members can object to the use of their payments for certain purposes and
can only be required to pay their share of union costs relating to
collective bargaining, contract administration, and grievance
adjustment.

If you do not want to pay that portion of dues or fees used to support
activities not related to collective bargaining, contract
administration, or grievance adjustment, you are entitled to an
appropriate reduction in your payment. If you believe that you have been
required to pay dues or fees used in part to support activities not
related to collective bargaining, contract administration, or grievance
adjustment, you may be entitled to a refund and to an appropriate
reduction in future payments.

For further information concerning your rights, you may wish to contact
the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) either at one of its Regional
offices or at the following address or toll free number:

National Labor Relations Board

Division of Information

1099 14th Street, N.W.

\(c\) The Contractor shall comply with all provisions of Executive Order
13201 of February 17, 2001, and related implementing regulations at 29
CFR part 470, and orders of the Secretary of Labor.

\(d\) In the event that the Contractor does not comply with any of the
requirements set forth in paragraphs (b), (c), or (g), the Secretary may
direct that this contract be cancelled, terminated, or suspended in
whole or in part, and declare the Contractor ineligible for further
Government contracts in accordance with procedures at 29 CFR

part 470, Subpart B--- Compliance Evaluations, Complaint Investigations
and Enforcement Procedures. Such other sanctions or remedies may be
imposed as are provided by 29 CFR part 470, which implements Executive
Order 13201, or as are otherwise provided by law.

\(e\) The requirement to post the employee notice in paragraph (b) does
not apply to---

(1) Contractors and subcontractors that employ fewer than 15 persons;

(2) Contractor establishments or construction work sites where no union
    has been formally recognized by the Contractor or certified as the
    exclusive bargaining representative of the Contractor's employees;

\(3\) Contractor establishments or construction work sites located in a
jurisdiction named in the definition of the United States in which the
law of that jurisdiction forbids enforcement of union-security
agreements;

\(4\) Contractor facilities where upon the written request of the
Contractor, the Department of Labor Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Labor-Management Programs has waived the posting requirements with
respect to any of the Contractor's facilities if the Deputy Assistant
Secretary finds that the Contractor has demonstrated that---

> \(i\) The facility is in all respects separate and distinct from
> activities of the Contractor related to the performance of a contract;
> and
>
> \(ii\) Such a waiver will not interfere with or impede the
> effectuation of the Executive order; or

\(5\) Work outside the United States that does not involve the
recruitment or employment of workers within the United States.

\(f\) The Department of Labor publishes the official employee notice in
two variations; one for contractors covered by the Railway Labor Act and
a second for all other contractors. The Contractor shall---

\(1\) Obtain the required employee notice poster from the Division of
Interpretations and Standards, Office of Labor-Management Standards,
U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW, Room N-- 5605,
Washington, DC 20210, or from any field office of the Department's
Office of Labor-Management Standards or Office of Federal Contract
Compliance Programs;

\(2\) Download a copy of the poster from the Office of Labor-Management
Standards website at *http://www.olms.dol.gov*; or

\(3\) Reproduce and use exact duplicate copies of the Department of
Labor's official poster.

\(g\) The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause in every
subcontract or purchase order that exceeds the simplified acquisition
threshold, entered into in connection with this contract, unless
exempted by the Department of Labor Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Labor--Management Programs on account of special circumstances in the
national interest under authority of 29 CFR 470.3(c). For indefinite
quantity subcontracts, the Contractor shall include the substance of
this clause if the value of orders in any calendar year of the
subcontract is expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.
Pursuant to 29 CFR part 470, Subpart B--- Compliance Evaluations,
Complaint Investigations and Enforcement Procedures, the Secretary of
Labor may direct the Contractor to take such action in the enforcement
of these regulations, including the imposition of sanctions for
noncompliance with respect to any such subcontract or purchase order. If
the Contractor becomes involved in litigation with a subcontractor or
vendor, or is threatened with such involvement, as a result of such
direction, the Contractor may request the United States, through the
Secretary of Labor, to enter into such litigation to protect the
interests of the United States.

I.10 [52.232-19 AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR. (APR
1984)]{.underline}

Funds are not presently available for performance under this contract
beyond September 30 of the current calendar year. The Government\'s

this contract beyond September 30 of the current calendar year, until
funds are made available to the Contracting Officer for performance and

Thanksgiving Day

Christmas Day

Any other day designated by Federal law, Executive Order, or
Presidential Proclamation.

\(b\) When any such day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following
Monday is observed. Observance of such days by Government personnel
shall not be cause for additional period of performance or entitlement
to compensation except as set forth in the contract. If the contractor's
personnel work on a holiday, no form of holiday or other premium
compensation will be reimbursed either as a direct or indirect cost,
unless authorized pursuant to an overtime clause elsewhere in this
contract.

\(c\) When the Department of State grants administrative leave to its
Government employees, assigned contractor personnel in Government

his/her duly authorized representative.

\(d\) For fixed-price contracts, if services are not required or
provided because the building is closed due to inclement weather,
unanticipated holidays declared by the President, failure of Congress to
appropriate funds, or similar reasons, deductions will be computed as
follows:

\(1\) The deduction rate in dollars per day will be equal to the per
month contract price divided by 21 days per month.

\(2\) The deduction rate in dollars per day will be multiplied by the
number of days services are not required or provided.

contract, it will be without loss to the contractor. The cost of
salaries and wages to the contractor for the period of any such excused
absence shall be a reimbursable item of direct cost hereunder for
employees whose regular time is normally charged, and a reimbursable
item of indirect cost for employees whose time is normally charged
indirectly in accordance with the contractor's accounting policy.

I.15 [652.225-71 SECTION 8(A) OF THE EXPORT ADMINISTRATION ACT OF 1979,

(a) Section 8(a) of the U.S. Export Administration Act of 1979, as
    amended (50 U.S.C. 2407(a)), prohibits compliance by U.S. persons
    with any boycott fostered by a foreign country against a country
    which is friendly to the United States and which is not itself the
    object of any form of boycott pursuant to United States law or
    regulation. The Boycott of Israel by Arab League countries is such a
    boycott, and therefore, the following actions, if taken with intent
    to comply with, further, or support the Arab League Boycott of
    Israel, are prohibited activities under the Export Administration
    Act:

    condition or requirement against doing business with the State of

with precautionary requirements protecting against war risks and
confiscation;

\(3\) Complying or agreeing to comply in the normal course of business
with the unilateral and specific selection by a boycotting country, or
national or resident thereof, of carriers, insurance, suppliers of
services to be performed within the boycotting country or specific goods
which, in the normal course of business, are identifiable by source when
imported into the boycotting country;

**Government Furnished Property**

***\[Note to Contracting Officer; identify if any will be provided, and
the quantities.\]***

\[NOTE to Contracting Officer: If any material is to be provided as GFP,
it should be listed here, so that all offerors can price their proposals
with the same set of assumptions. If there is to be no GFE, state that
here.

***If post is adopting a "green" policy, then adhere to the following
guidance:***

***If GFP will be provided, post should use environmentally preferable
chemical cleaning products. Information on environmentally preferable
products (EPP) is available on the Internet at
<http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/epp.htm>.***

***All non-chemical products (paper, plastic, etc.) to be provided as
GFP should conform to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Comprehensive Procurement Guide (CPG) if the products are CPG-designated
items. CPG information is available on the Internet at
<http://www.epa.gov/cpg>. Products that meet the desired objective
(ability to clean effectively) and are not CPG-designated items should
also contain the highest-possible amounts (by percentage) of recovered
material(s) and post-consumer content.***

**Contractor Furnished Property**

***\[Note to Contracting Officer: List here the equipment and supplies
that the contractor is to provide. Prospective offerors need as much
information as possible to submit intelligent proposals. When specifying
contractor furnished materials, Contracting Officer should, with the
assistance and guidance of other interested post officials, give
consideration to specifying the minimum requirements.***

***The Department has adopted a "Buying Green" policy that advocates the
use of environmentally friendly products used in janitorial contracts.
Information about this program may be found at A/OPE's Internet web
site, [http://www.statebuy.gov](http://www.statebuy.gov/) by clicking on
"Buying Green," which provides links to other "green" web sites,
including GSA Advantage's "green" products.***

***The goal of the program is to ensure that cleaning products and
supplies exhibit the following characteristics:***

-   ***Lower toxicity/non-carcinogenic***

-   ***Reduced skin, eye, and respiratory irritability***

-   ***Biodegradability***

-   ***No unnecessary dies or fragrances***

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   ***Recycled content/recovered materials***

> ***If post is adopting a "green" policy, then include the
> following:***

The contractor shall use only [environmentally preferable chemical
cleaning-products]{.underline}. The contractor shall identify products
by brand name for each of the following product types:

\(a\) All-purpose cleaner

\(b\) General degreaser

\(c\) General disinfectant

\(d\) Graffiti remover

\(e\) Chrome and brass cleaner/polish

\(f\) Glass cleaner

\(g\) Furniture polish

\(n\) Bathroom hand cleaner/soap

\(o\) Bathroom disinfectant

\(p\) Bathroom cleaner

\(q\) Bathroom deodorizers

\(r\) Urinal deodorizers

\(s\) Lime and scale remover

In addition, the contractor shall provide following non-chemical
products containing the maximum feasible amount of recovered materials:

\(1\) [Bathroom tissue]{.underline} - The bathroom tissue must contain
at least 100% recovered materials and 50% post-consumer content.

\(2\) [Toilet Seat Covers]{.underline} - Toilet seat covers must contain
at least 100% recovered materials and 50% post-consumer content.

\(3\) [Paper Towels]{.underline} - The paper towels must contain at
least 100% recovered materials and 40% post-consumer content.

All non-chemical products (paper, plastic, etc.) should conform to the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Comprehensive Procurement Guide
(CPG) if the products are CPG-designated items. CPG information is
available on the Internet at <http://www.epa.gov/cpg>.

Contractors may propose more than one product within a product category
and/or propose a product or products addressing more than one product
category.

Once this list of products has been approved by the Contracting Officer,
the Contractor is responsible for using only those approved cleaning
chemical products in the building. If for some reason the product is
found later to be ineffective, the Contractor would otherwise like to
propose an alternative product, or the Contracting Officer would like to
propose a more environmentally preferable product, either the Contractor
or Contracting Officer may propose for consideration an "equal" product.
If the parties agree to the replacement product, the contract will be
modified.
