**1.0 OVERVIEW**

1.  **[Objective]{.underline}**. The objective of this contract is to
    acquire the services of weather observer personnel to provide
    augmentation and/or back up to the Automated Surface Observing
    System (ASOS), and to take manual observations as necessary.

2.  **[Background]{.underline}**. The Federal Aviation Administration
    (FAA) is responsible for aviation weather observation services at
    selected airports throughout the United States. FAA intends to
    satisfy this responsibility in part, through the use of the ASOS,
    FAA employees, and contract weather observer (CWO) personnel.

3.  **[Appendices]{.underline}**. Facility information for each site is
    contained in Section J, Attachment J-1. Definitions and acronyms are
    contained in Attachment J-4. Applicable Orders, Directives, and
    Government Policies are contained in Attachment J-5.

**1.4 [ASOS Functional Capabilities]{.underline}**. ASOS is a modular
system, designed to automatically collect, process, and archive weather
sensor measurement data. The ASOS weather report is readily available to
a variety of users at both local and remote locations on a 24-hour
basis. The ASOS weather report is disseminated into the Weather Message
Switching Center Replacement (WMSCR) is broadcast locally via a radio
transmitter, and can be accessed by telephone. National Weather Service
(NWS) personnel via an Automatic Operations and Maintenance Center
(AOMC) remotely monitor the operation and performance of ASOS.
Individual weather parameters monitored and processed by ASOS include:

-   Sky condition at 12,000 feet and below

-   Visibility, 10 miles or less

-   Precipitation (type and intensity)

-   Obstructions to vision (fog, & haze)

-   Pressure (altimeter, sea level, density altitude, and pressure
    altitude)

-   Temperature and dew point

-   Wind (speed, direction, gust character, and variability)

-   Precipitation amount

-   Lightening detection and thunderstorm reporting

-   Freezing rain

# **1.5 Service Standards Definitions**. The following terms must have the meaning set forth below and must be used within the context of this statement of work (SOW).

#  

> 1.5.1 CWO Service is required at airports identified as level "A" or
> "B" under the ASOS Service Standards, but may also be maintained at
> selected level "C" airports.

2.  The term ***Service Standard*s** refers to four levels of detail in
    the weather observations at sites where there is a commissioned
    ASOS. The first category, known as ***Service Level D***, is
    completely automated, at which the ASOS observation will constitute
    the entire observation, i.e., no additional weather information is
    added by a human weather observer.

> 1.5.3 The second category is known as ***Service Level C***. At this
> level, a human observer adds information to the automated observation.
> This augmentation includes, as a minimum, such weather phenomena as
> thunderstorms, tornadoes, hail, virga, volcanic ash, and tower
> visibility. Service Level C also includes the backup of ASOS elements
> in the event of an ASOS malfunction or an unrepresentative ASOS
> report. Backup consists of inserting the corrected or missing
> information for airport phenomena including wind, visibility,
> precipitation/obstructions to vision, cloud height, sky cover,
> temperature, dew point and altimeter setting.

4.  To enhance air traffic control efficiency and increase system
    capacity, additional detail beyond Service Level C is required at
    some airports. These airports are divided into two categories.
    ***Service Level B*** airports are smaller hubs that have worse than
    average bad weather operations for thunderstorms and/or
    freezing/frozen precipitation events, and /or that are remote
    airports. Service Level B consists of all the elements of Service
    Levels C and D plus augmentation for long-line Runway Visual Range
    (RVR), where appropriate, freezing drizzle versus freezing rain; ice
    pellets; and remarks for snow depth and snow increasing rapidly,
    thunderstorm/lightning location, and observed significant weather
    not at the station.

5.  ***Service Level A*** airports are major aviation hubs and high
    volume airports with average or worse weather. Service Level A
    airports will receive, in addition to the services described under
    Service Levels B, C, and D, ten- minute long-line runway visual
    range (RVR) or additional visibility increments of 1/8, 1/16, and 0.
    If observed, the following elements will be added to the
    observation; sector visibility, variable sky condition, cloud layers
    above 12,000 feet and cloud types, widespread dust, sand, and other
    obscurations, and volcanic eruption.

2.  **CONTRACT WEATHER OBSERVATION SERVICE**

    1.  **[Performance]{.underline}**. The minimum performance standard
        for the service specified herein is: all
        augmentations/backup/manual observations must be conducted at
        the required or prescribed time, and in the prescribed manner as
        specified in FAA Order (FAAO) 7900.5. If a required record
        observation is not taken at the prescribed time, the procedures
        specified in FAAO 7900.5 must be followed.

**2.2 [Manual Observations]{.underline}**. The observers must
continually monitor existing weather conditions at the assigned location
and must issue METAR and SPECI reports as required by FAAO 7900.5. All
manual observations (including ASOS backup observations) must be
properly recorded on Meteorological Form 1M-10C.

**2.3 [ASOS Operations]{.underline}**. All commissioned ASOS sites must
be operated in the automated mode, versus the manual mode, unless
directed otherwise by the FAA through the Contracting Officer's
Technical Representative (COTR). Certified contract observer personnel
must monitor the automated weather observations and the existing weather
conditions at the subject location. When it is determined that one or
more of the augmentation elements are occurring; or that the ASOS
observation is not representative of the present weather at the site; or
that one or more sensors have failed; or that the total system has
failed; the contract observer must comply with the procedures outlined
below and in FAAO 7900.5.

1.  [ASOS Augmentation]{.underline}. The observers must augment the ASOS
    observation in accordance with FAAO 7900.5. In the event that a
    parameter reported by ASOS is not representative of existing
    meteorological conditions, the observers must edit the ASOS report
    as required. If directed by the Contracting Officer (CO) or COTR,
    the observers will enter voice messages that will be appended to the
    ASOS observation and automatically broadcast over the local radio
    outlet.

2.  [ASOS Partial Outage Procedures]{.underline}. If the ASOS
    communication unit is operational, but there is a failure of one or
    more of the weather sensors, the observers must enter the missing
    data as required. The observer-provided information will complete
    the observation and enable transmission of the observation by ASOS
    into the national communications network. If the sensor(s) that
    failed is not indicated as missing in the ASOS observation (as a
    result of the automated quality control procedures built into the
    system), the observers must notify the National Weather Service
    (NWS) ASOS Operations and Maintenance Center (AOMC) via telephone at
    1-800-242-8194 or 1-800-242-8895.

3.  [ASOS Total Outage Procedures]{.underline}. In the event of a total
    ASOS outage, the observer must produce, document, and disseminate
    accurate and timely aviation weather report(s) in accordance with
    the provisions of FAAO 7900.5. These observations must include METAR
    and SPECI observations, as required. In these situations, unless
    otherwise directed by the COTR, the observer must telephone the
    complete back-up aviation weather observation report to the
    associated Automated Flight Service Station (AFSS) (see Section J,
    Attachment J-1) for dissemination into the national weather
    communications system and provide observation to the local air
    traffic facility.

\(a\) When the Contractor (you) performs work at an operating airport,
you must arrange your work schedule so it will not interfere with flight
operations. Those operations take precedence over construction
convenience. You must perform work that would otherwise interfere with
or endanger the operations of aircraft only at times and in the manner
the Contracting Officer (CO) directs. The FAA will make every effort to
reduce the disruption of your operation.\
\
(b) Unless otherwise specified by local regulations, you must mark all
areas in which construction operations are underway with yellow flags
during daylight hours and with red lights at other times. The red lights
along the edge of the construction areas within the existing aprons must
be the electric type of not less than 100 watts intensity, placed and
supported as required. All other construction markings on roads and
adjacent parking lots may be either electric or battery type lights. You
must place these lights and flags to outline the construction areas, and
the distance between any two flags or lights must not be greater than 25
feet. You must provide adequate watch to maintain the lights in working
condition at all times other than daylight hours. The CO will determine
the hour daylight begins and ends.\
\
(c) All equipment and material in the construction areas or when moved
outside the construction area must be marked with airport safety flags
during the day and at other times the CO directs, and with red
obstruction lights at nights. You must have clearance lights conforming
with the CO\'s instructions for all equipment operating on the apron,
taxiway, runway, and intermediate areas after dark. You must not operate
construction equipment within 50 feet of aircraft undergoing fuel
operations. You must not have open flames on the ramp except at times
the CO authorizes.\
\
(d) Your trucks and other motorized equipment must enter the airport or
construction area only over routes the CO identifies. You must not use
runways, aprons, taxiways, or parking areas as truck or equipment routes
unless specifically authorized for such use. You must provide flag
personnel at points on apron and taxiway to safely guide your equipment
over these areas to assure right of way to aircraft. You must return
areas and routes you used during the contract to their original
condition. You must not exceed the airport management\'s maximum speed
at the airport. Your vehicles must be under safe control at all times,
weather and traffic conditions considered. Vehicles must have with head
and tail lights when it\'s dark.\
\

    notice to the Contractor within 10 days; provided, that the
    Government shall give the Contractor a preliminary written notice of
    its intent to extend at least 30 days before the contract expires.
    The preliminary notice does not commit the Government to an
    extension.\
    \
    (b) If the Government exercises this option, the extended contract
    shall be considered to include this option provision.\
    \
    (c) The total duration of this contract, including the base year and
    the exercise of (4) one-year options under this contract, shall not

provided by the Secretary of Labor. The option provision may be
exercised more than once, but the total extension of performance
hereunder shall not exceed **6 months**. The Contracting Officer may
exercise the option by written notice to the Contractor within the
period specified in the Schedule.

> (End of clause)

## F.5 EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

Notice of Exercise of Options will be provided to the Contractor by the
Contracting Officer at least thirty (30) days prior to the option
exercise date.

Options shall be exercised by the issuance of a unilateral modification
to the contract by the Contracting Officer. The Government has requested
numerous Options in the solicitation. Options for continuation of
services at locations already under contract must be exercised on or
before September 30 of the applicable fiscal year. Options for the
initiation of services at a new site or sites may be exercised at any
time during the fiscal year that funding for that site becomes
available, at the discretion of the Government. Since this contract
involves operations funds (one year funds), no funds may be "carried
over" from one fiscal year to the next. Also, funds are not always
available for immediate use on the first day of a new fiscal year.
Therefore, the Contracting Officer may exercise any option without funds
by so stating and indicating that funds are not currently available.

be executed by the Contracting Officer with an effective date of the
first day of the new fiscal year.

**F.6 EXERCISE OF SITE SPECIFIC CLINS**

**H.6 3.14-2 Contractor Personnel Suitability Requirements (July 2006)**

\(a\) This clause applies to the extent that this contract requires
contractor employees, subcontractors, or consultants to have unescorted
access to FAA:\
\
(1) Facilities;\
\
(2) Sensitive information; and/or\
\
(3) Resources regardless of the location where such access occurs, and
none of the exceptions of FAA Order 1600.72A, Contractor and Industrial
Security Program, Chapter 5, paragraphs 4, 6, 7 and 8 pertains.\
\
Definitions of applicable terminology are contained in the corresponding
guidance and Order 1600.72A, appendix A.\
\
(b) Consistent with FAA Order 1600.72A, the FAA Servicing Security
Element (SSE) has approved designated risk levels for the positions
under the contract.\
\
(c) Not later than five (5) business days, not to exceed a maximum of 30
days, after contract award (or date of modification, if this provision
is included by modification to an existing contract), for each employee
in a listed position requiring access, provided, no previous background
investigations can be supported as described below, the contractor will
submit the following documentation to the SSE for an employment
suitability determination:\
\
- Standard Form (SF) 85P, Questionnaire for Public Trust Positions as
designated by the Contractor Position Risk/Sensitivity Level Designation
Record, FAA Form 1600-77, will be completed (all questions answered) in
accordance with the instruction sheet.\
\
- One fingerprint card (FD-258). Fingerprints will be taken by those
individuals who have been identified as either a Trusted Agent or a
Personal Identity Verification (PIV) registrar (SSE).\
\
In some instances, the fingerprint only may be required and an OF-306
Declaration for Federal Employment, most current edition, will also be
submitted.\
\
The applicant will appear in person and provide two forms of identity
source documents in original form to the PIV Registrar (SSE) or the
authorized Trusted Agent. The identity source documents must come from
the list of acceptable documents included in Form I-9, OMB No.

the contractor will provide, in writing to the SSE, the name, date of
birth, place of birth, and social security number of the employee, the
name of the investigating entity, type of background investigation
conducted, and approximate date the previous background investigation
was completed. For all contracts over six (6) months in duration, the
minimum background investigation requirement will be a National Agency
Check with Inquiries (NACI). Please check with your SSE for final
determination as to OPM background investigation type required. The
contract may include positions that are temporary, seasonal, or under
escort only. In such cases, a FAA Form 1600-77 for each specific
position will be established as the investigative requirements may
differ from the NACI.\

any contractor employee is found to be unsuitable or otherwise
objectionable, or whose conduct appears contrary to the public interest,

\(a\) It may become necessary for the Government to issue keys, PIV
cards, vehicle decals, and/or access control cards to contractor
employees. Prior to or upon completion or termination of the work
required hereunder, the contractor must return all such
Government-issued items to the issuing office with notification to the
Contracting Officer\'s Technical Representative (COTR). When contractor
employees who have been issued such items are terminated or no longer
required to perform the work, the Government-issued items must be
returned to the Government within three (3) business days or upon
termination of the contract or the employee. Improper use, possession or
alteration of FAA issued keys, PIV Cards and/or vehicle decals is

**H.9 CONFIDENTIALITY OF DATA AND INFORMATION**

\(a\) The Contractor and any of its subcontractors or consultants 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 which restrict
the Government\'s right to use and disclose the data and information, or
which may be of 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 and consultants 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 Contacting Officer, unless the Government
has otherwise made the data and information available to the public; and

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

\(b\) In the event the work required to be performed under this contract
requires access to proprietary data of other companies, the Contractor
must obtain agreement 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 must be furnished
promptly to the Contracting Officer for information only. These
agreements must prescribe the scope of authorized use of disclosure, and
other terms and conditions to be agreed upon between the parties
thereto. It is agreed by the Contractor that any such data, whether
obtained by the Contractor pursuant to the aforesaid agreement or from
the Government, must be protected from unauthorized use or disclosure to
any individual, corporation, or organization so long as it remains
proprietary.

\(c\) Through formal training in company policy and procedures, the
Contractor agrees to make employees aware of the requirement to maintain
confidentiality of data and information, as required above, to the end
that they will be disciplined in the necessity to refrain from divulging
either the proprietary data of other companies or data that is obtained
from the Government to anyone except as authorized. The Contractor must
obtain from each employee, engaged in any effort connected with this
contract, an agreement, in writing, which must 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.

\(d\) The Contractor agrees to hold the Government harmless and
indemnify the Government as to any cost/loss resulting from the
unauthorized use or disclosure of third party data or software by the
Contractor, its employees, subcontractors, or agents.

\(e\) The Contractor agrees to include the substance of this provision
in all subcontracts awarded under this contract. The Contracting Officer
will consider case-by-case exceptions from this requirement for
individual subcontracts in the event that:

\(1\) The Contractor considers the application of the prohibition of
this provisions to be inappropriate and unnecessary in the case of a
particular subcontract:

\(2\) Use of an alternate subcontract source would unreasonably detract
from the quality of effort; and

\(3\) The Contractor provides the Contracting Officer timely written
advance notice of these and any other extenuating circumstances.

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

\(g\) 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.

SUBCONTRACTOR\'S/CONSULTANT\'S NAME AND ADDRESS

**H.15 SERVICE CONTRACT ACT OF 1965 as AMENDED (AMS 3.6.2-28)**

This clause is incorporated in full text as follows:

SERVICE CONTRACT ACT OF 1965, AS AMENDED (APRIL 1996)

\(a\) Definitions.

> \(1\) Act, as used in this clause, means the Service Contract Act of
> 1965, as amended (41 U.S.C. 351, et seq.).
>
> \(2\) Contractor, as used in this clause or in any subcontract, shall
> be deemed to refer to the subcontractor, except in the term Government
> Prime Contractor.
>
> \(3\) Service employee, as used in this clause, means any person
> engaged in the performance of this contract other than any person
> employed in a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional
> capacity, as these terms are defined in Part 541 of title 29, Code of
> Federal Regulations, as revised. It includes all such persons
> regardless of any contractual relationship that may be alleged to
> exist between a Contractor or subcontractor and such persons.

\(b\) Applicability. This contract is subject to the following
provisions and to all other applicable provisions of the Act and
regulations of the Secretary of Labor (29 CFR Part 4). This clause does
not apply to contracts or subcontracts administratively exempted by the
Secretary of Labor or exempted by 41 U.S.C. 356, as interpreted in
subpart C of 29 CFR Part 4.

\(c\) Compensation.

> \(1\) Each service employee employed in the performance of this
> contract by the Contractor or any subcontractor shall be paid not less
> than the minimum monetary wages and shall be furnished fringe benefits
> in accordance with the wages and fringe benefits determined by the
> Secretary of Labor, or authorized representative, as specified in any
> wage determination attached to this contract.
>
> \(2\) (i) If a wage determination is attached to this contract, the
> Contractor shall classify any class of service employee which is not
> listed therein 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) 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 class of employees shall be paid the
> monetary wages and furnished the fringe benefits as are determined
> pursuant to the procedures in this paragraph (c).

(ii) This conforming procedure shall be initiated by the Contractor
     prior to the performance of contract work by the unlisted class of
     employee. The Contractor shall submit Standard Form (SF) 1444,
     Request for Authorization of Additional Classification and Rate, to
     the Contracting Officer no later than 30 days after the unlisted
     class of employee performs any contract work. The Contracting
     Officer shall review the proposed classification and rate and
     promptly submit the completed SF 1444 (which must include
     information regarding the agreement or disagreement of the
     employees\' authorized representatives or the employees themselves
     together with the agency recommendation), and all pertinent
     information to the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards
     Administration U.S. Department of Labor. The Wage and Hour Division
     will approve, modify, or disapprove the action or render a final
     determination in the event of disagreement within 30 days of
     receipt or will notify the Contracting Officer within 30 days of
     receipt that additional time is necessary.

> \(iii\) The final determination of the conformance action by the Wage
> and Hour Division shall be transmitted to the Contracting Officer who
> shall promptly notify the Contractor of the action taken. Each
> affected employee shall be furnished by the Contractor with a written
> copy of such determination or it shall be posted as a part of the wage
> determination.
>
> \(iv\) (A) The process of establishing wage and fringe benefit rates
> that bear a reasonable relationship to those listed in a wage
> determination cannot be reduced to any single formula. The approach
> used may vary from wage determination to wage determination depending
> on the circumstances. Standard wage and salary administration
> practices which rank various job classifications by pay grade pursuant
> to point schemes or other job factors may, for example, be relied
> upon. Guidance may also be obtained from the way different jobs are
> rated under Federal pay systems (Federal Wage Board Pay System and the
> General Schedule) or from other wage determinations issued in the same
> locality. Basic to the establishment of any conformable wage rate(s)
> is the concept that a pay relationship should be maintained between
> job classifications based on the skill required and the duties
> performed.
>
> \(B\) In the case of a contract modification, an exercise of an
> option, or extension of an existing contract, or in any other case
> where a Contractor succeeds a contract under which the classification
> in question was previously conformed pursuant to paragraph (c) of this
> clause, a new conformed wage rate and fringe benefits may be assigned
> to the conformed classification by indexing (i.e., adjusting) the
> previous conformed rate and fringe benefits by an amount equal to the
> average (mean) percentage increase (or decrease, where appropriate)
> between the wages and fringe benefits specified for all
> classifications to be used on the contract which are listed in the
> current wage determination, and those specified for the corresponding
> classifications in the previously applicable wage determination. Where
> conforming actions are accomplished in accordance with this paragraph
> prior to the performance of contract work by the unlisted class of
> employees, the Contractor shall advise the Contracting Officer of the
> action taken but the other procedures in subdivision (c)(2)(ii) of
> this clause need not be followed.
>
> \(C\) No employee engaged in performing work on this contract shall in
> any event be paid less than the currently applicable minimum wage
> specified under section 6(a)(1) of the Fair Labor Standards Act of
> 1938, as amended.
>
> \(v\) The wage rate and fringe benefits finally determined under this
> subparagraph (c)(2) of this clause shall be paid to all employees
> performing in the classification from the first day on which contract
> work is performed by them in the classification. Failure to pay the
> unlisted employees the compensation agreed upon by the interested
> parties and/or finally determined by the Wage and Hour Division
> retroactive to the date such class of employees commenced contract
> work shall be a violation of the Act and this contract.
>
> \(vi\) Upon discovery of failure to comply with subparagraph (c)(2) of
> this clause, the Wage and Hour Division shall make a final
> determination of conformed classification, wage rate, and/or fringe
> benefits which shall be retroactive to the date such class or classes
> of employees commenced contract work.
>
> \(3\) Adjustment of Compensation. If the term of this contract is more
> than 1 year, the minimum monetary wages and fringe benefits required
> to be paid or furnished thereunder to service employees under this
> contract shall be subject to adjustment after 1 year and not less
> often than once every 2 years, under wage determinations issued by the
> Wage and Hour Division.

\(d\) Obligation to Furnish Fringe Benefits. The Contractor or
subcontractor may discharge the obligation to furnish fringe benefits
specified in the attachment or determined under subparagraph (c)(2) of
this clause by furnishing equivalent combinations of bona fide fringe
benefits, or by making equivalent or differential cash payments, only in
accordance with subpart D of 29 CFR Part 4

\(e\) Minimum Wage. In the absence of a minimum wage attachment for this
contract, neither the Contractor nor any subcontractor under this
contract shall pay any person performing work under this contract
(regardless of whether the person is a service employee) less than the
minimum wage specified by section 6(a)(1) of the Fair Labor Standards
Act of 1938. Nothing in this clause shall relieve the Contractor or any
subcontractor of any other obligation under law or contract for payment
of a higher wage to any employee.

\(f\) Successor Contracts. If this contract succeeds a contract subject
to the Act under which substantially the same services were furnished in
the same locality and service employees were paid wages and fringe
benefits provided for in a collective bargaining agreement, in the
absence of the minimum wage attachment for this contract setting forth
such collectively bargained wage rates and fringe benefits,

neither the Contractor nor any subcontractor under this contract shall
pay any service employee performing any of the contract work (regardless
of whether or not such employee was employed under the predecessor
contract), less than the wages and fringe benefits provided for in such
collective bargaining agreement, to which such employee would have been
entitled if employed under the predecessor contract, including accrued
wages and fringe benefits and any prospective increases in wages and
fringe benefits provided for under such agreement. No Contractor or
subcontractor under this contract may be relieved of the foregoing
obligation unless the limitations of 29 CFR 4.1b(b) apply or unless the
Secretary of Labor or the Secretary\'s authorized representative finds,
after a hearing as provided in 29 CFR 4.10 that the wages and/or fringe
benefits provided for in such agreement are substantially at variance
with those which prevail for services of a character similar in the
locality, or determines, as provided in 29 CFR 4.11, that the collective
bargaining agreement applicable to service employees employed under the
predecessor contract was not entered into as a result of arm\'s length
negotiations. Where it is found in accordance with the review procedures
provided in 29 CFR 4.10 and/or 4.11 and Parts 6 and 8 that some or all
of the wages and/or fringe benefits contained in a predecessor
Contractor\'s collective bargaining agreement are substantially at
variance with those which prevail for services of a character similar in
the locality, and/or that the collective bargaining agreement applicable
to service employees employed under the predecessor contract was not
entered into as a result of arm\'s length negotiations, the Department
will issue a new or revised wage determination setting forth the
applicable wage rates and fringe benefits. Such determination shall be
made part of the contract or subcontract, in accordance with the
decision of the Administrator, the Administrative Law Judge, or the
Board of Service Contract Appeals, as the case may be, irrespective of
whether such issuance occurs prior to or after the award of a contract
or subcontract (53 Comp. Gen. 401 (1973)). In the case of a wage
determination issued solely as a result of a finding of substantial
variance, such determination shall be effective as of the date of the
final administrative decision.

\(g\) Notification to Employees. The Contractor and any subcontractor
under this contract shall notify each service employee commencing work
on this contract of the minimum monetary wage and any fringe benefits
required to be paid pursuant to this contract, or shall post the wage
determination attached to this contract. The poster provided by the
Department of Labor (Publication WH 1313) shall be posted in a prominent
and accessible place at the work site. Failure to comply with this
requirement is a violation of section 2(a)(4) of the Act and of this
contract.

\(h\) Safe and Sanitary Working Conditions. The Contractor or
subcontractor shall not permit any part of the services called for by
this contract to be performed in buildings or surroundings or under
working conditions provided by or under the control or supervision of
the Contractor or subcontractor which are unsanitary, hazardous, or
dangerous to the health or safety of the service employees. The
Contractor or subcontractor shall comply with the safety and health
standards applied under 29 CFR Part 1925.

\(i\) Records.

> \(1\) The Contractor and each subcontractor performing work subject to
> the Act shall make and maintain for 3 years from the completion of the
> work, and make them available for inspection and transcription by
> authorized representatives of the Wage and Hour Division, Employment
> Standards Administration, a record of the following:
>
> \(i\) For each employee subject to the Act-
>
> \(A\) Name and address and social security number;
>
> \(B\) Correct work classification or classifications, rate or rates of
> monetary wages paid and fringe benefits provided, rate or rates of
> payments in lieu of fringe benefits, and total daily and weekly
> compensation;
>
> \(C\) Daily and weekly hours worked by each employee; and
>
> \(D\) Any deductions, rebates, or refunds from the total daily or
> weekly compensation of each employee.
>
> \(ii\) For those classes of service employees not included in any wage
> determination attached to this contract, wage rates or fringe benefits
> determined by the interested parties or by the Administrator or
> authorized representative under the terms of paragraph (c) of this
> clause. A copy of the report required by subdivision (c)(2)(ii) of
> this clause will fulfill this requirement.
>
> \(iii\) Any list of the predecessor Contractor\'s employees which had
> been furnished to the Contractor as prescribed by paragraph (n) of
> this clause.
>
> \(2\) The Contractor shall also make available a copy of this contract
> for inspection or transcription by authorized representatives of the
> Wage and Hour Division.
>
> \(3\) Failure to make and maintain or to make available these records
> for inspection and transcription shall be a violation of the
> regulations and this contract, and in the case of failure to produce
> these records, the Contracting Officer, upon direction of the
> Department of Labor and notification to the Contractor, shall take
> action to cause suspension of any further payment or advance of funds
> until the violation ceases.
>
> \(4\) The Contractor shall permit authorized representatives of the
> Wage and Hour Division to conduct interviews with employees at the
> work site during normal working hours.

\(j\) Pay Periods. The Contractor shall unconditionally pay to each
employee subject to the Act all wages due free and clear and without
subsequent deduction (except as otherwise provided by law or

this clause, the following employees may be employed in accordance with
the following variations, tolerances, and exemptions, which the
Secretary of Labor, pursuant to section 4(b) of the Act prior to its
amendment by P. L. 92-473, found to be necessary and proper in the
public interest or to avoid serious impairment of the conduct of
Government business.

(1) Apprentices, student-learners, and workers whose earning capacity is
    impaired by age, physical or mental deficiency or injury may be
    employed at wages lower than the minimum wages otherwise required by
    section 2(a)(1) or 2(b)(1) of the Act without diminishing any fringe
    benefits or cash payments in lieu thereof required under section
    2(a)(2) of the Act, in accordance with the conditions and procedures
    prescribed for the employment of apprentices, student-learners,
    handicapped persons, and handicapped clients of sheltered workshops
    under section 14 of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, in the
    regulations issued by the Administrator (29 CFR Parts 520, 521, 524,
    and 525).

> \(2\) The Administrator will issue certificates under the Act for the
> employment of apprentices, student-learners, handicapped persons, or
> handicapped clients of sheltered workshops not subject to the Fair
> Labor Standards Act of 1938, or subject to different minimum rates of
> pay under the two acts, authorizing appropriate rates of minimum wages
> (but without changing requirements concerning fringe benefits or
> supplementary cash payments in lieu thereof), applying procedures
> prescribed by the applicable regulations issued under the Fair Labor
> Standards Act of 1938 (29 CFR Parts 520, 521, 524, and 525).
>
> \(3\) The Administrator will also withdraw, annul, or cancel such
> certificates in accordance with the regulations in 29 CFR Parts 525
> and 528.

\(r\) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than
the predetermined rate for the work they perform when they are employed
and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program
registered with a State Apprenticeship Agency which is recognized by the
U.S. Department of Labor, or if no such recognized agency exists in a
State, under a program registered with the Bureau of Apprenticeship and
Training, Employment and Training Administration, U.S. Department of
Labor. Any employee who is not registered as an apprentice in an
approved program shall be paid the wage rate and fringe benefits
contained in the applicable wage determination for the journeyman
classification of work actually performed. The wage rates paid
apprentices shall not be less than the wage rate for their level of
progress set forth in the registered program, expressed as the
appropriate percentage of the journeyman\'s

rate contained in the applicable wage determination. The allowable ratio
of apprentices to journeymen employed on the contract work in any craft
classification shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to the
Contractor as to his entire work force under the registered program.

\(s\) Tips. An employee engaged in an occupation in which the employee
customarily and regularly receives more than \$30 a month in tips may
have the amount of these tips credited by the employer against the
minimum wage required by section 2(a)(1) or section 2(b)(1) of the Act,
in accordance with section 3(m) of the Fair Labor Standards Act and
Regulations 29 CFR part 531. However, the amount of credit shall not
exceed \$1.34 per hour beginning January l, 1981. To use this provision-

> \(1\) The employer must inform tipped employees about this tip credit
> allowance before the credit is utilized;
>
> \(2\) The employees must be allowed to retain all tips (individually
> or through a pooling arrangement and regardless of whether the
> employer elects to take a credit for tips received);
>
> \(3\) The employer must be able to show by records that the employee
> receives at least the applicable Service Contract Act minimum wage
> through the combination of direct wages and tip credit;
>
> \(4\) The use of such tip credit must have been permitted under any
> predecessor collective bargaining agreement applicable by virtue of
> section 4(c) of the Act.

\(t\) Disputes Concerning Labor Standards. The U.S. Department of Labor
has set forth in 29 CFR Parts 4, 6, and 8 procedures for resolving
disputes concerning labor standards requirements. Such disputes shall be
resolved in accordance with those procedures and not the "Disputes"
clause of this contract. Disputes within the meaning of this clause
include disputes between the Contractor (or any of its subcontractors)
and the contracting agency, the U.S. Department of Labor, or the
employees or their representatives.

> (End of clause)

**H.16 SERVICE CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS AS TO VACATION PAY**

**H.16.1 Employee credit for service with a Predecessor Contractor**

This paragraph applies if the contract wage determination contains a
provision referring to a "successor" contractor, e.g., "1 week paid
vacation after 1 year of service with a contractor or successor."
"Successor" as used in such provisions means the contractor on this
contract when the contractor employs, without a break in service, a
service employee formerly employed by the immediately preceding
contractor under a similar Government contract at the same location
("predecessor contractor"). Consequently, if the contractor employs
without a break in service, any service employee who was employed by
it's predecessor contractor for similar work at the same location, the
contractor in computing the employee's "year of service" shall include
all continuous service for the predecessor contractor subsequent to the
later of the following dates: (1) the date of employment by the
predecessor contractor; or (2) if, while employed by the predecessor
contractor, the employee had an anniversary date or dates on which the
employee became entitled to vacation benefits, the most recent of such
employee's full vacation benefit on such anniversary date even though
during part of the "year of service" the employee had been employed by
the predecessor contractor.

**H.16.2 When Predecessor Contractor Not Involved**

This paragraph applies if the contract wage determination does not refer
to a "successor" contractor, but contains a provision such as "1 week
paid vacation after 1 year of service with an employer." The term "an
employer" in such provision means the contractor on this contract. The
contractor in computing a service employee's "year of service" shall
include all continuous service performed by the employee subsequent to
the later of the following dates: (1) the date of employment by the
contractor, or (2) the employee's most recent anniversary date for which
paid vacation was granted.

**H.16.3 Part - time Employees**

If the contract wage determination contains either type of provisions
quoted in paragraph H.15 above, part-time service employees working a
regularly scheduled workweek shall receive a paid vacation on a pro-rata
basis. For example, an employee who has worked for the contractor two
days per week for a year or, without a break in service, the contractor
and a predecessor contractor where the wage determination contains
language like that quoted in H.15, above, shall be entitled to two days
paid vacation of two-fifths of the vacation benefits to which full
time-time employees are entitled.

**H.16.4 Break In Service**

For the purpose of this provision, the term "break in service" does not
include an employee's change in employment status from an employee of a
predecessor contractor to an employee of a contractor.

> (End of Clause)

**H.17 SERVICE CONTRACT ACT MINIMUM WAGE DETERMINATION**

This contract is subject to the Service Contract Act of 1965, as
amended. If any Service Contract Act minimum wage determination is
furnished for any site covered by this contract, the wage determination
will be shown in Attachment 2 in Part III Section J.

**H.19 SCA MINIMUM WAGES AND FRINGE BENEFITS**

**(Applicable to Successor Contract Pursuant to Predecessor Contractor
Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBA))**

This clause is incorporated in full text as follows

**SERVICE CONTRACT ACT (SCA) MINIMUM WAGES AND FRINGE BENEFITS**

An SCA wage determination applicable to this work has been requested
from the U.S. Department of Labor. If an SCA wage determination is not
incorporated herein, the offerors shall consider the economic terms of
the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between the incumbent
Contractor and the union (See Section J for the sites that have CBA). If
the economic terms of the collective bargaining agreement or the
collective bargaining agreement itself is not attached to the
solicitation, copies can be obtained from the Contracting Officer.
Pursuant to Department of Labor Regulation, 29 CFR 4.1b and paragraph
(g) of the clause "Service Contract Act of 1965, As Amended," the
economic terms of that agreement will apply to the contract resulting
from this Screening Information Request (SIR), notwithstanding the
absence of a wage determination reflecting such terms, unless it is
determined that the agreement was not the result of arm\'s length
negotiations or that after a hearing pursuant to section 4(c) of the
Act, the economic terms of the agreement are substantially at variance
with the wages prevailing in the area.

> (End of clause)

**H.20 WAGE RATE DETERMINATION**

# H.20.1 The wage determination issued under the Service Contract Act of 1965 by the Department of Labor (DOL) for Occupation Code 29621, Weather Observer, Upper Air and Surface shall apply to this contract. Any and all wage determinations that are applicable to weather observation services are attached and made a part of hereof and must be adhered-to by the Contractor and/or Subcontractor(s). However, this provision must not relieve the contractor or any subcontractor of any obligation under any State minimum wage law which may require the payment of a higher wage. THE WAGE RATES INCORPORATED UNDER CONTRACT FOR OR DURING A FISCAL YEAR WILL BE THE SAME WAGE RATES, APPLICABLE (FOR ALL COUNTIES UNDER THAT WAGE DETERMINATION) FOR THE ENTIRE FISCAL YEAR. 

H.20.2 The Contractor MUST NOT pay its employees less than the
established DOL minimum wage rate or the applicable rate in the CBA
incorporated under contract for the performance year.

H.20.3 Wage rate adjustments will be allowed under this contract under

rate requirement. Any such adjustment will be limited to increases in
wages or fringe benefits as described above, and the concomitant
increase in social security and unemployment taxes and workmen's
compensation insurance, but will not otherwise include any amount for
general and administrative costs, overhead, or profits. The FAA will not
make any adjustments if the DOL wage rate or CBA rate is lower than the
Contractor's rate. In this instance, the Contractor shall pay its
employees the higher of the two rates.

be provided under Section J, Attachment 2.

with these requirements or any condition which poses a serious or
imminent danger to the health or safety of the public or Government
personnel, the Contracting Officer shall notify the Contractor orally,
with written confirmation, and request immediate initiation of
corrective action. This notice, when delivered to the Contractor or the
Contractor\'s representative at the work site, shall be deemed
sufficient notice of the noncompliance and that corrective action is
required. After receiving the notice, the Contractor shall immediately
take corrective action. If the Contractor fails or refuses to promptly
take corrective action, the Contracting Officer may issue an order
stopping all or part of the work until satisfactory corrective action
has been taken. The Contractor shall not be entitled to any equitable

**I.10 MANDATORY INFORMATION FOR ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER (EFT)
PAYMENT - CENTRAL CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION (CCR) (JUNE 2001)**

\(a\) Method of payment. For any payment to be made after June 1, 2001,
the Contractor shall provide EFT information to the CCR database.
Payments by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under this
contract, including invoice and contract financing payments, will be
made by EFT, except as provided in paragraph (a)(1). If payment is made
by EFT, the FAA may, at its option, also forward the associated payment
information by electronic transfer. As used in this clause, the term
\"EFT\" refers to the funds

transfer and may also include the information transfer.

\(1\) In the event the FAA is unable to release one or more payments by
EFT, the Contractor agrees to either:

\(i\) accept payment by check or some other mutually agreeable method of
payment; or

\(ii\) Request the FAA to extend the payment due date until such time as
the FAA can make payment by EFT (but see paragraph (d) of this clause).

\(b\) Mandatory submission of Contractor\'s EFT information.

\(1\) The Contractor is required, as a condition to any payment under
this contract, to provide the Central Contractor Registration (CCR)
database with the information required in the CCR to make payment by
EFT. The Contractor may register to the CCR online at www.ccr2000.com,
or call the CCR Assistance Center toll free at (888)-227-2423 and
request the necessary registration forms.

The Contractor must have a DUNS number to begin registration. To obtain
a DUNS number, call Dun & Bradstreet, Inc. at (800) 234-3867. In the
event that the EFT information changes, the Contractor shall be
responsible for providing the updated information to the CCR database.

\(2\) If the Contractor has identified multiple payment receiving points
(i.e., more than one remittance address and/or EFT information set) in
the CCR database, and the Contractor has not notified the FAA of the
payment receiving point applicable to this contract, the FAA shall make
payment to the first payment receiving point (EFT information set or
remittance address as applicable) listed in the CCR database.

\(c\) Mechanisms for EFT payment. The FAA may make payment by EFT
through either an Automated Clearing House (ACH) subject to the banking
laws of the United States or the Federal Reserve Wire Transfer System at
the FAA\'s option. The rules governing Federal payments through the ACH
are contained in 31 CFR part 210.

\(d\) Suspension of payment.

\(1\) Notwithstanding the provisions of any other clause of this
contract, the FAA is not required to make any payment under this
contract until after the correct EFT payment information from the
Contractor has been provided to the CCR database. No invoice or contract
financing request shall be deemed to be valid, as defined by the Prompt
Payment Act, until correct EFT information is received into the CCR
database.

\(2\) Changes made to an existing record in the CCR database will become
effective not later than the 30th day after receipt in the CCR database.
However, the Contractor may request that no further payments be made
until the changed EFT information is implemented into the CCR database.
If such suspension would result in a late payment under the Prompt
Payment clause of this contract, the Contractor\'s request for
suspension shall extend the due date for payment by the number of days
of the suspension.

\(e\) Contractor EFT arrangements. The Contractor shall designate a
single financial agent capable of receiving and processing the
electronic funds transfer using the EFT methods described in paragraph
(c) of this clause. The Contractor shall pay all fees and charges for
receipt and processing of transfers.

\(f\) Liability for uncompleted or erroneous transfers.

\(1\) If an uncompleted or erroneous transfer occurs because the FAA
failed to use the Contractor-provided EFT information in the CCR
database in the correct manner, the FAA remains responsible for

\(i\) making a correct payment,

\(ii\) paying any prompt payment penalty due, and

\(iii\) recovering any erroneously directed funds.

\(2\) If an uncompleted or erroneous transfer occurs because
Contractor-provided EFT information in the CCR database was incorrect,
or was revised within 30 days at the time of FAA release of the EFT
payment transaction instruction to the Federal Reserve System, and:

\(i\) If the funds are no longer under the control of the payment
office, the FAA is deemed to have made payment and the Contractor is
responsible for recovery of any erroneously directed funds; or

\(ii\) If the funds remain under the control of the payment office, the
FAA retains the right to either make payment by mail or suspend the
payment in accordance with paragraph (d) of this clause.

\(g\) EFT and prompt payment.

\(1\) A payment shall be deemed to have been made in a timely manner in
accordance with the Prompt Payment clause of this contract if, in the
EFT payment transaction instruction given to the Federal Reserve System,
the date specified for settlement of the payment is on or before the
prompt payment due date, provided the specified payment date is a valid
date under the rules of the Federal Reserve System.

\(2\) When payment cannot be made by EFT because of incorrect EFT
information provided by the Contractor to the CCR database, no interest
penalty is due after the date of the uncompleted or erroneous payment
transaction, provided that notice of the defective EFT information is
issued to the Contractor within 7 days after the FAA is notified of the
defective EFT information.

\(h\) EFT and assignment of claims. If the Contractor assigns the
proceeds of this contract as provided for in the Assignment of Claims
clause of this contract, the Contractor shall require as a condition of
any such assignment, that the assignee shall register in the CCR
database and shall be paid by EFT in accordance with the terms of this
clause. In all respects, the requirements of this clause shall apply to
the assignee as if it were the Contractor. EFT information, which shows
the ultimate recipient of the transfer to be other than the Contractor,
in the absence of a proper assignment of claims acceptable to the FAA,
is incorrect EFT information within the meaning of paragraph (d) of this
clause.

\(i\) Liability for change of EFT information by financial agent. The
Contractor agrees that the Contractor\'s financial agent may notify the
FAA of a change to the routing transit number, Contractor account
number, or account type. The FAA shall use the changed data in
accordance with paragraph (d)(2) of this clause. The Contractor agrees
that the information provided by the agent is deemed to be correct
information as if it were provided by the Contractor. The Contractor
agrees that the agent\'s notice of changed EFT data

is deemed to be a request by the Contractor in accordance with paragraph
(d)(2) that no further payments be made until the changed EFT
information is implemented by the payment office. The FAA is not liable
for errors resulting from changes to EFT information made by the
Contractor\'s financial agent.

**I.11 CONTINUITY OF SERVICES AMS 3.8.2-11 (APR 1996)**

\(a\) The Contractor recognizes that the services under this contract
are vital to the Government and must be continued without interruption
and that, upon contract expiration, a successor, either the Government
or another contractor, may continue them. The Contractor agrees to:

\(1\) furnish phase-in training and

\(2\) exercise its best efforts and cooperation to effect an orderly and
efficient transition to a successor.

\(b\) The Contractor shall, upon the Contracting Officer\'s written
notice:

\(1\) furnish phase-in, phase-out services for up to 90 days after this
contract expires and

\(2\) negotiate in good faith a plan with a successor to determine the
nature and extent of phase-in, phase-out services required. The plan
shall specify a training program and a date for transferring
responsibilities for each division of work described in the plan, and
shall be subject to the Contracting Officer\'s approval. The Contractor
shall provide sufficient experienced personnel during the phase-in,
phase-out period to ensure that the services called for by this contract
are maintained at the required level of proficiency.

\(c\) The Contractor shall allow as many personnel as practicable to
remain on the job to help the successor maintain the continuity and
consistency of the services required by this contract. The Contractor
also shall disclose necessary personnel records and allow the successor
to conduct onsite interviews with these employees. If selected employees
are agreeable to the change, the Contractor shall release them at a
mutually agreeable date and negotiate transfer of their earned fringe
benefits to the successor.

\(d\) The Contractor shall be reimbursed for all reasonable phase-in,
phase-out costs (i.e., costs incurred within the agreed period after
contract expiration that result from phase-in, phase-out operations) and
a fee (profit) not to exceed a prorata portion of the fee (profit) under
this contract.

them for: commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with
obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a public (Federal, state,
or local) contract or subcontract; violation of Federal or state
antitrust statutes relating to the submission of offers: or commission
of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction
of records, making false statements, or receiving stolen property; and

\(C\) Are \[ \] are not \[ \] presently indicted for, or otherwise
criminally or civilly charged by a governmental entity with, commission
of any of the offenses enumerated in subdivision (a)(1)(i)(B) of this
provision.

\(ii\) The Offeror has \[ \] has not \[ \] within a three-year period
preceding this offer, had one or more contracts terminated for default
by any Federal agency.

directors; owners; partners; and, persons having primary management or
supervisory responsibilities within a business entity (e.g., general

Contracting Officer if, at any time prior to contract award, the Offeror
learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become
erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.

provision exists will not necessarily result in withholding of an award
under this SIR. However, the certification will be considered in
connection with a determination of the Offeror\'s responsibility.

additional information as requested by the Contracting Officer may
render the Offeror nonresponsible.

knowledge and information of an Offeror is not required to exceed that
which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course
of business dealings.

\(e\) The certification in paragraph (a) of this provision is a material
representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making award.
If it is later determined that the Offeror knowingly rendered an
erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the

#### 

#### L.8 SMALL BUSINESS WORKSHOP

A three- day conference was held June 13-15, 2006 in Dallas, Texas. A
small business workshop was conducted to assist in the preparation of a
proposal.

**L.9 DISCUSSIONS WITH OFFERORS AFTER CLOSING DATE OF SIR**

L.9.1 Communication with potential offerors may take place throughout
the source selection process. The purpose of communications is to ensure
there are mutual understandings between FAA and the offerors on all
aspects of the procurement. Information disclosed as a result of oral or
written communication with an offeror may be considered in the
evaluation of an offeror\'s submittal(s).

L.9.1.1 Certain topics of communications may necessitate amendments to
the FAA's SIR. If this is the case, all competing offerors will be
advised of the changes via amendments to the SIR, and the Contracting
Officer will establish common cut-off dates for any and all resulting
offeror revisions.

L.9.2 To ensure that offerors fully understand the intent of the SIR
(and FAA\'s needs stated therein), the FAA may hold one-on-one meetings
with individual offerors as it pertains to their Offer. One-on-one
communications may continue throughout the process, as required, at the
FAA\'s discretion. Communications with one offeror may not necessitate
communications with other offerors. In accordance with FAAAMS policy,
the FAA reserves the right to conduct discussions with specific offerors
only, or with all offerors, as circumstances warrant.

**L.10 NON-GOVERNMENT PERSONNEL PARTICIPATION**

Offerors are hereby notified that the FAA may utilize contractor support
personnel following the release of the SIR. In addition, the offerors
are notified that the FAA may have any written Technical Proposals or
other written information provided in response to this acquisition,
reviewed by personnel from various support contractors who may serve as
advisors to FAA evaluation personnel during the evaluation phase of this
acquisition. All non-Government personnel and their corporations have
signed, or will sign before the evaluation process begins,
non-disclosure and no conflict of interest statements. The exclusive
responsibility for source selection however, will remain with the FAA.
If the FAA decides to utilize support contractors, the offerors will be
notified in writing by the Contracting Officer and given the name of the
company, personnel and FAA contract number.

**L.11** **NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM CODE (NAIC) AND
SMALL BUSINESS SIZE STANDARD**

The NAIC for this acquisition is 541990 --Other Professional, Technical
and Management Services. The small business size standard under the
above NAIC code is \$6.5 million in annual average gross revenue of the
concern over the last three fiscal years.

**L.12 AMS 3.8.2-9 SITE VISIT** (April 1996)

Offerors or quoters are urged and expected to inspect the site where
services are to be performed and to satisfy themselves regarding all
general and local conditions that may affect the cost of contract
performance, to the extent that the information is reasonably
obtainable. In no event will failure to inspect the site constitute
grounds for a dispute after contract award.

**L.13** **PRE-AWARD SURVEYS**

A pre-award survey is an evaluation of a prospective offeror\'s
capability to perform a proposed contract and is used as a means for
assisting the Contracting Officer in making a determination that an
offeror is a responsible prospective offeror. The FAA reserves the right
to conduct a pre-award survey, on any entity included by the offeror. If
a pre-award survey is conducted, it does not mean that an offeror has
been selected for award.

**L.14 MINIMUM QUALIFICATION**

To be eligible to compete for this procurement, the offeror must have,
as a minimum requirement, the experience or capabilities identified
below. **FAILURE TO PROVIDE THE REQUESTED INFORMATION WITH THE PROPOSAL
SUBMISSION WILL MAKE THE OFFEROR INELIGIBLE FOR CONSIDERATION OF
AWARD**.

> 1\. Provide documentation that show the offeror's ability to cover
> payroll and other operating and administrative expenses to accommodate
> Government \"in arrears\" payments for work performed for period of
> ninety (90) days. The amount of money required to cover expenses needs
> to be sufficient enough to cover 90 days of the base year sites (one
> quarter of the firm fixed price) for the two highest dollar value
> groups being proposed. If the offeror has an existing CWO contract,
> the required ninety days of funding should be separate from the
> offeror existing operating funds.
>
> 2\. Provide documentation that show that the proposed supervisor is a
> certified weather observer and has a minimum of one (1) year's
> experience in performing weather observations.
>
> 3\. Failure to be determined to be technically acceptable by receiving
> unsatisfactory rating in any one of the subfactor under Factor 1, or
> an unacceptable rating received for Past Performance and Relevant
> Experince, Factor 2, will rendered the offeror's proposal ineligible
> for further consideration in the selection process.

The offeror is required to submit, along with the proposals, a summary
(no more than two pages) which clearly demonstrates that the offeror has
the minimum qualification requirements as addressed. To validate
subparagraph (1) above, financial documentation, certified by the
financial institution, can be attached to support this requirement, to
validate subparagraph (2) above, resumes of the proposed supervisor for
each of the site and receipt of an acceptable past performance will
validate subparagraph (3).

#### L.15 SOURCE SELECTION PROCESS

During the evaluation process, the FAA will evaluate each offeror\'s
proposal, using information submitted to the FAA, presented in written
form by each offeror, or in the case of past performance/relevant
experience, obtained from outside references and other points of
contact, to determine who meets the minimum qualifications as addressed
in Clause L.14. The FAA will evaluate each offeror\'s capability to
perform the effort required by Section C of this SIR, as evaluated by
the following:

(a) Formal evaluation of the \"Offer and Other Documents\" submission,

(b) Formal evaluation of the offeror\'s Technical proposal,

(c) Formal evaluation of the offeror\'s Past Performance/Relevant
    Experience,

(d) Formal evaluation of the Price proposal, and

(e) An assessment of the risks inherent in each offeror\'s proposal that
    would accrue to the FAA should that offeror be selected for award.

At any point during the evaluation of Offers, the FAA may determine,
based on information submitted by an offeror, that the offeror does not
have a reasonable chance of receiving an award, that offeror will be
rendered no longer eligible for award and will be eliminated from
further consideration. Any offeror eliminated from further consideration
will be officially notified in writing.

**L.16 COMPLIANCE WITH INSTRUCTIONS**

**When evaluating an offeror's capability to perform the prospective
contract, the FAA will also consider compliance with these instructions
included in the SIR. The FAA will consider an offeror's non-compliance
with all instructions as indicative of conduct the FAA may expect from
the offeror during contract performance**

**L.17 GENERAL SIR INSTRUCTION**

**THE GOVERNMENT RESERVES THE RIGHT TO AWARD A CONTRACT BASED ON INITIAL
OFFERS RECEIVED, WITHOUT DISCUSSIONS OR NEGOTIATIONS OF SUCH OFFERS.
THEREFORE, IT IS CRITICAL THAT EACH OFFER BE FULLY RESPONSIVE TO THE
SIR, WITHOUT EXCEPTION TO ANY PROVISION.**

L.17.1 Replies to this SIR must follow the outlines and/or instructions
concerning format given in this paragraph, as well as other paragraphs
of Section L.

L.17.2 Offerors must submit factual and concise written information as
requested in the SIR, as well as substantiated price data to provide a
basis for sound evaluation by the FAA. Proposals should be specific
enough to provide the FAA evaluators with enough information to be able
to judge the technical and financial ability of the offeror to conduct
this requirement. Proposals that merely offer to conduct a program in
accordance with the FAA\'s requirements as described under the SOW, will
be considered unacceptable, as will those proposals that merely
paraphrase Section C. of the SIR, or which use nonspecific phrases such
as \"in accordance with standard procedures\" or \"well known
techniques\".

L.17.3 Omission of or a sketchy response to the requirements of this SIR
may render a proposal incomplete as it relates to the requirements of
the SIR, and therefore may cause it to be found unacceptable for further
consideration.

**L.18 PROPOSAL ORGANIZATION**

The offeror\'s proposal submission must consist of Volume 1 - Offer and
Other Documents, Volume II - Technical Proposal, Volume III -- Past
Performance and Relevant Experience and Volume IV - Price Proposal. Each
submittal must be labeled as original or copy. The volumes should be
organized as follows:

**VOLUME DESCRIPTION NO. COPIES**

**VOL.I OFFER AND OTHER DOCUMENTS ORIG. + 3**

**Section A** Table of Contents

**Section B** SIR SECTION A, OMB #2120-059

Solicitation, Offer and Award \-- Signed

**Section C** SIR SECTION B, Supplies or Services

And Prices/Cost - Completed

**Section D** SIR SECTION K, Representation,

Certifications and Other Statement of

Offerors - Signed

**VOL.II TECHNICAL PROPOSAL ORIG. + 8**

> **(includes 2 E-copies)**

**Section A** 1. Personnel Plan

**Section B** 2. Program Management Plan

**Section C** 3. Quality Assurance Management Plan

**Section D** 4. Transition Plan

**VOL. III PAST PERFORMANCE AND 3-5 examples ORIG. +3**

> **RELEVANT EXPERIENCE and listing**

**VOL. IV PRICE PROPOSAL ORIG + 2**

**L.19 PROPOSAL PRESENTATION**

L.19.1 [Binding and Labeling]{.underline} A binder cover sheet must be
affixed to each volume, which clearly identifies each volume, volume
number, original or copy number (i.e. copy 1 of 4), SIR number and
identification, and offeror\'s name. Copy number must appear on the edge
of the binder to allow for rapid accountability when placed in a
vertical position in a storage cabinet. If material for a volume
requires more than one book, then that volume must be labeled with the
name and number of the volume and book number, if any, i.e., Technical
Proposal, Volume 2, Book 1 of 2.

L.19.2 [Electronic Copies]{.underline} -The Offeror must submit **two
(2)** complete media copies of Volume II and Volume IV of the proposal
on CD(s) (not compressed), in a Microsoft Office compatible format for
text documents and spreadsheet documents. (See L.19.2.1 for detailed
instructions on Volume IV Price Proposal.)

One complete media copy must be included with the "Original" proposal
and an additional complete media copy must also be included with Volume
II - Technical Proposal."

L.19.2.1 [Volume IV Price Proposal]{.underline} - Offerors (prime and
subcontractors) are required to submit all cost exhibits in Microsoft
Office compatible format spreadsheets. File names on the CD must be
cross-referenced. Cell formulas, where they are used to create values in
the Costs Exhibits, must be included; and worksheets, spreadsheets, or
files must be appropriately cross-linked. The prime contractor must
ensure that subcontractor(s) prepare and submit appropriate electronic
media. If possible, subcontractor(s) spreadsheets should link into the
prime's data. The Government should be able to recreate the Offeror's
proposal from the electronic media provided. Inconsistencies between the
hard copy submissions and the electronic media could increase the
overall risk associated with the Offeror's proposal

**L.19.3 [Indexing]{.underline}** - The indexing must be used to
identify all proposed sections. Each volume must be organized such that
an extensive search of the proposal is not necessary for its review.
Information not in its appropriate section and not appropriately
cross-referenced may be assumed to have been omitted.

**L.19.4 [Page Size, Typing, Spacing, and Page Numbering ]{.underline}**

L.19.4.1 Page size must be 8-1/2 by 11 inches. The proposal pages except
for charts, may be printed on both sides of plain white bond paper with
each side enumerated for page count. The type size must not be less than
12 point with a space and a half between lines. When both sides of a
sheet of paper contain material, it will be counted as two pages.

L.19.4.2 Charts, prepared in either portrait or landscape style must be
prepared on 8-1/2 x 11 inch paper and can be prepared in any typeface
easily readable. 11 x 17 inch paper will be acceptable for graphics,
tables and diagrams as long as it folds to 81/2 x 11. A smaller type
size than 12-point is acceptable for graphics, tables and diagrams as
long as the information portrayed remains easily readable.

L.19.4.3 Each section within a volume must be sequentially numbered.
Charts, prepared in either portrait or landscape style must be prepared

**L.23 VOLUME III - PAST PERFORMANCE AND RELEVANT EXPERIENCE**

L.23.1 Past Performance: The FAA will conduct a past performance review
of each offeror's proposal. Therefore, each offeror must submit written
information pertaining to past performance involving similar scope
(complexity and magnitude) of work as addressed in Section C. The past
performance/experience should reflect that which occurred during the
past five (5) years. Included should be a correct Government and/or
industry points of contact, phone number, and facsimile number. A
minimum of three and no more than five contracts per offeror (excluding
small purchases) must be identified that demonstrate the offeror's past
experience. Offerors must also provide a supplemental list (with
appropriate references, points of contact, total dollar value,
performance period and a brief description) of all commercial and
federal contracts (excluding small purchases) performed by the offeror
within the past five (5) years.

L.23.1.1 Information regarding each offeror, garnered from a variety of
individuals familiar with each offeror's past efforts will be used to
compile a past performance history which will then be used to determine
the acceptable or unacceptable rating of an offeror. Offerors that are
newly formed entities, without prior contracts, must list all their key
personnel who have related contracts and subcontracts experiences.

L.23.1.2 The offeror must provide information on problems (e.g. cure
notices, contract disputes, termination for default, litigation, adverse
administrative findings by the government at the federal, state, or
local level, etc.) encountered on the contracts and subcontracts
identified and address corrective actions taken to resolve those
problems. Offerors should provide general information on their
performance on the identified contracts that the offerors consider
relevant to this acquisition. More specific performance information will
be obtained from references and other sources, as the FAA deems
appropriate. The FAA may specifically request information concerning
Department of Labor (DOL) wage determination violations and the status
of pending actions. The FAA may also contact other state and local
government organizations for information concerning the offeror.

L.23.1.3 Offeror will be afforded the opportunity to address any
unfavorable reports of past performance. Recent contracts will also be
examined to ensure that any identified corrective measures have been
implemented. Prompt corrective action in isolated instances, however,
may not outweigh overall negative trends.

L.23.1.4 It is requested that offerors send their listed private sector
references a letter authorizing the reference to provide past
performance information to the Government.

L.23.1.5 Each offeror is required to provide the Past Performance
Questionnaire, Attachment L-3, to points-of-contact for each contract
referenced. A copy of the questionnaire must be sent to the Contracting
Officer. Each of the offeror's references must complete the
questionnaire and mail a hard copy directly to: FAA, Attn: Viola
Underdue-Mitchell, AJA-48 , 800 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington,
D.C. 20591. **[The completed questionnaire must be received by the FAA
no later than the due date for the reception of proposals. Each offeror
is responsible for any follow-up required ensuring timely submission of
completed questionnaires. NOTE: Questions to be asked will not be
limited to those on the questionnaire.]{.underline}**

Offerors must limit their discussion of the aforementioned contracts to
one (1) page for each contract selected for submission in response to
this request.

L.23.2 Relevant Experience: The offeror must demonstrate by examples the
offeror experience in delivering quality weather observation services as
provided in the SOW. The offeror must address the relevant current and
past experience and how that experience will assist the offeror in the
projected ability to meet schedule and cost restraints, achieve program
objectives and report on a program of this size. If the offeror is new,
the Offeror must provide the resumes of all their key personnel who will
have a significant role in the day-to-day management of the contract.
The resume must demonstrate the personnel experience in delivering
quality weather observation services.

L.23.2.1 The offeror may describe quality awards or certifications
received within the past three years. The awards must indicate that the
offeror possesses a high-quality of performance for services rendered.
Identify the performance period in which the certificate/award applied
and the date of the certificate/award.

Offerors must limit their discussion of the aforementioned contracts to
one (1) page for each contract selected for submission in response to
this request.

**L.24 VOLUME IV -- PRICE PROPOSAL**

L.24.1 General

L.24.1.1 The Price Proposal must be in a separate, sealed container
marked "PRICE PROPOSAL." Proposed subcontractors that do not wish to
reveal pricing information to the offeror (proposed prime contractor)
may submit their price proposals directly to the FAA.

L.24.1.2 The proposed annual prices should reflect all estimated costs.
Each month, the FAA will pay the contractor one-twelfth of the annual
prices listed in Section B of the contract. It will not reimburse the
contractor for any additional costs. Any adjustments to the prices in
Section B will result solely from wage determinations and collective
bargaining agreements.

L.24.1.3 The Technical Proposal (Volume II) must not include any price
information.

L.24.1.4 Unrealistically low proposed prices may indicate that the
offeror does not understand the government's requirement and,
consequently, may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from the
competition.

L.24.2 Required Tables

L.24.2.1 In Volume I, Offer and Other Documents, the offeror must
complete Section B by entering proposed annual fixed prices by site. In
Volume IV, Price Proposal, the offeror and each of its proposed
subcontractors must complete Tables A through C. The purpose of these
tables is to establish the baseline for future adjustments of prices
resulting from DOL wage determinations and collective bargaining
agreements. Formats for Tables A through C are in Attachment L-1. The
offeror or subcontractor must enter in the heading of each table the
applicable group number and contract year (base year, first option year,
etc.).

L.24.2.2 Table A is a breakdown by element of cost of the annual prices
for each site. The proposed total price should reflect all estimated
costs. The offeror or subcontractor may modify the format as
appropriate. Each proposed subcontractor must submit Table A, and the
totals must match the subcontract amounts in the offeror's Table A.

L.24.2.3 Table B is a breakdown of the direct labor costs. The totals
must match the amounts on the direct labor line of Table A. Direct labor
hours are hours worked. They exclude paid absence such as vacation and
holiday leave. Weather observers regularly scheduled to work on a
recognized holiday receive time-and-a-half pay in accordance with F.9.

L.24.2.4 Table C shows the details of fringe benefits. Although the
offeror or subcontractor may propose an overhead rate that includes
fringe benefits, rather than a separate fringe benefit rate, it must
list the fringe benefit components in sufficient detail to permit the
determination of costs subject to adjustment for wage determinations or
collective bargaining agreements.

L.24.3 One of the requirements in L.14 of the SIR is to be able to cover
90 days of contract expenses. The offeror shall demonstrate that it has
funds and/or a line of credit from a financial institution equal to
one-quarter of the combined base year price of the two highest-priced
groups being proposed. The offeror shall, if necessary, include in
Volume IV a letter from a financial institution documenting that the
offeror has satisfied this requirement. Lines of credit from credit
cards for personal use may not be applied toward the satisfaction of
this requirement.

# **M.1 BASIS FOR AWARD**

**M.1.1 AWARD SELECTION:** Award will be made to the technically
acceptable offeror(s) who is determined to be responsible and whose
proposal conforms to all requirements of the SIR, has acceptable Past
Performance and Relevant Experience and offers the lowest evaluated fair
and reasonable price to the government. Technically acceptable is
defined as proposals that meet or exceed all requirements of the SIR and
demonstrate the technical ability to perform requirements of the
Statement of Work.

As a minimum, an offeror is determined to be technically acceptable by
receiving a rating of at least satisfactory in **all** subfactors under
Factor I. A less than satisfactory rating received in any of the
subfactors under Factor I, Technical, or an unacceptable rating received
for Past Performance and Relevant Experience will make the offeror
ineligible for contract award.

Once all offers have been determined to have an acceptable Past
Performance and Relevant Experience, and have been evaluated as having a
technically acceptable proposal, those offerors will continue to be
evaluated based on the proposed prices. The lowest evaluated fair and
reasonable price will then become the final determining factor for
award.

The FAA reserves the right to award a contract immediately following the
conclusion of all of the evaluations, and is not required to conduct
discussions or negotiations with the successful offeror or any other
offeror. Therefore, it is critical that each offer be fully responsive
to this SIR. All submittals in response to this SIR should contain the
offeror\'s best terms from a technical and price standpoint. If the FAA
awards on initial offers, the basis of award will be made to an offeror
who has been determined to have an acceptable Past performance and
Relevant Experience, have been rated technically acceptable and
evaluated as having the lowest evaluated fair and reasonable price.

In evaluating the proposals, the Government may conduct written or oral
communications with any and/or all Offerors, and may reduce the Offerors
participating in the competition to only those Offerors most likely to
receive award. Additionally, the FAA reserves the right to conduct
discussions and negotiations with any individual competing Offeror, or
all competing Offerors, as the situation warrants. Discussions with one
or more Offerors do not require discussions with all Offerors.

If at any point during the evaluation of Offerors, should the FAA
conclude based on information submitted by an Offeror that the Offeror
does not have a reasonable chance of receiving this award, that Offeror
will be rendered no longer eligible for award and eliminated from
further consideration. Any Offeror eliminated from further consideration
will be officially notified in writing.

Each offer will be evaluated separately for each group proposed.

If an Offeror bids on a group, he must bid on all CLIN's in that group.

In the event that one (1) Offeror is determined to be technically
acceptable, has an acceptable past performance/relevant experience and
offers the lowest evaluated fair and reasonable price for more than two
(2) groups the Government will allocate the groups between the Offerors.
The awards will be based on technically acceptable proposal, acceptable
past performance and relevant experience and lowest evaluated fair and
reasonable price.

The FAA reserves the right to not make an award if such action is in its
best interest.

The basis of the award will be made against the evaluation factors
contained in Section M and the FAA's characterization of the risk
involved in making an award to an offeror. The Technical subfactors will
be numerically scored. Price will be evaluated for fairness and
reasonableness and will not be numerically scored, and Past
Performance/Relevant Experience will be evaluated as being either
Acceptable or Unacceptable.

Risk assessment analysis serves to assess and evaluate potential risks
to the Government associated with the selection of each Offeror's
overall proposal for fulfilling the requirement of the SIR. Risk
evaluation will serve to gauge the degree of consistency between the
Offeror's proposed package and the reasonableness of the Offeror's
proposed price to the Government. The risk assessment will identify
and/or review risks inherent to the Government within each Offeror's
proposal.

Offerors are cautioned not to minimize the importance of a detailed,
adequate response in any factor due to it not being numerically scored.

**M.1.2 ELIGIBILITY FOR AWARD:** To be eligible for award, the Offeror
must meet all the requirements of the SIR. However, the FAA reserves the
right to reject any and all offers, waive any requirements, minor
irregularities and discrepancies, if it would be in the best interest of
the FAA to do so.

**M.1.3 NUMBER OF POTENTIAL CONTRACT AWARDS**

The FAA may award no more than two groups to an individual offeror.

# **M.2 EVALUATION PROCESS**

M.2.1 During the evaluation process, the Government Evaluation Teams
will evaluate each Offeror's proposal using information submitted by the
Offeror, (or in the case of past performance and relevant experience,
obtained from outside references and other points of contact) against
evaluation factors contained in Sections M.3, M.4 and M.5.

M.2.2. A Technical Evaluation Team will evaluate the Offeror's technical
capabilities against the evaluation subfactors in Section M.4. A less
than satisfactory rating in any one of the subfactors under Factor I,
Technical Proposal, will render the offeror unacceptable for further
consideration in the selection process.

M.2.3 During the evaluation, the Contracting Officer will conduct an
analysis based on past performance and relevant experience in accordance
with procedures in Section M.5. An unacceptable rating received for this
factor, will render the offeror unacceptable for further consideration
in the selection process.

M.2.4 A separate Price Evaluation team will also evaluate the Offeror's
Price proposals against the evaluation criteria addressed in Section
M.6. The evaluation process will include, but not be limited to,
validating and verifying the price data calculations, verifying the
Offeror's proposed wage determination minimum rates, and verifying the
labor hours proposed for all the SIR CWO requirements.

M.2.5 The various evaluation teams will then compile the results from
all evaluation criteria and factors and present their findings to the
Source Selection Official (SSO), who will select the offeror(s) who has
a technically acceptable offer, an acceptable Past Performance and
Relevant Experience, and has the lowest evaluated fair and reasonable
price. This will be based on the Technical Proposal, Past
Performance/Relevant Experience and the evaluated Price Proposal

## M.3 EVALUATION FACTORS

The following three factors, listed below, will be used to evaluate the
Offeror's proposal. Subfactors in Factor 1 are listed in alphabetical
order. A less than satisfactory rating received in any one of the
subfactors in Factor 1 or an unacceptable rating received for factor two
or three, will make the offeror ineligible for contract award. Each
factor will be rated individually to determine the final rating.

## Factor I Technical Proposal

-   Personnel Plan

-   Program Management Plan

-   Quality Assurance Management Plan

-   Transition Plan

**Factor II Past Performance and Relevant Experience Proposal**

-   Past Performance and Relevant Experience

**Factor III Price Proposal**

-   Reasonableness

## M.4 TECHNICAL EVALUATION

M.4.1.1 The Government team will evaluate the soundness and practicality
of the Offeror's approach, methodology and general knowledge regarding
the plans called for in Factor I, Technical Proposal. In addition, the
plans will be evaluated in accordance with their adherence and
conformity to the regulations and policies applicable to the plans.

M.4.1.2 The technical proposal will be used to enable the Technical
Evaluation Team to access each Offeror's level of familiarity with and
understanding of the work to be performed under the

resultant contract. Technical proposal will be evaluated to obtain
capability information and assess the effectiveness of the Offeror's
response to the SIR.

M.4.1.3 The evaluation of the technical proposal will use the following
general evaluation criteria:

a\. **Approach** - The degree to which the technical approach
demonstrates comprehension of the requirements and the necessary
resources to implement a successful program.

b**. Understanding** - The degree to which the technical approach for
implementing the requirements is logical, feasible, and achievable given
the requirements. The degree that the technical performance and all
risks are identified and mitigated.

c\. **Soundness -** The validity and achievability of the selected
technical approach.

M.4.1.4 The four subfactors listed below will be used to evaluate the
Offeror\'s technical proposal. **The subfactors are listed in
alphabetical order. A less than satisfactory rating in any one of the
subfactors below will render the offeror ineligible for further
consideration in the selection process.**

-   Personnel Plan

-   Program Management Plan

-   Quality Management Plan

-   Transition Plan

## M.5 PAST PERFORMANCE/RELEVANT EXPERIENCE EVALUATION

M.5.1 The Offeror's Past Performance/Relevant Experience will be
evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis. Offerors are to note that
in conducting the Past Performance and Revelant Experience evaluation,
the FAA will use data provided by the Offeror, data obtained from other
Government sources, as well as data received from other sources. **An
unacceptable rating received for this factor will make the offeror
ineligible for contract award.** The following definitions apply:

**Acceptable -** The offeror\'s product or service satisfies the
Government\'s

minimum requirements as specified in the SIR. Few weaknesses, if any
exist which are

likely to affect overall program schedule, product quality or
performance.

**Unacceptable -** The Offeror\'s product or service does not meet the
minimum

requirements as specified in the SIR. Expected program schedules,
product or

performance are likely to be impacted by the Offeror\'s proposed
solution.

M.5.2 Successful past performance will be evaluated based upon input
received from individuals and organizations familiar with the work
ethic, and standards of the Offeror. The FAA will determine whether the
Offeror has a history of quality work, timeliness of performance, and
customer satisfaction, and demonstrated satisfactory cost and schedule
control procedures.

M.5.3 Each Offeror will be evaluated on its performance under existing
and prior contracts for similar services and those contracts identified
in the list provided. A questionnaire prepared by the FAA, located in
Section J of the SIR, will be used to collect past performance
information. The FAA may contact references, other than those identified
by the Offeror, with the information received and used in the evaluation
of the Offerors\' past performance and relevant experience.

M.5.4 The Government reserves the right to contact prior clients of the
Offeror, other Governmental agencies and other sources to use the
results in this evaluation.

## M.6 PRICE EVALUATION FACTOR

The FAA will determine the reasonableness of the offeror's proposed
prices for the base period and all option periods. A price is reasonable
if it does not exceed that which a prudent person would pay in the
conduct of a competitive business. In determining reasonableness, the
FAA reserves the right to compare the offeror's proposed prices to the
competing offerors' proposed prices. **Price will not be scored in the
evaluation of proposals**.

**M.7 EVALUATION OF OPTIONS AMS 3.2.4-31** (April 1996)

Except when it is determined not to be in the Government\'s best
interests, the Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by
adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic
requirement. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to
exercise the option(s).
