H.20 REQUIREMENT FOR SCREENING OF CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL

(July 2001) CLA.1262

\(a\) **Contractor Screening of Personnel.** The operation of this
contract is intended to promote the continued safe and secure operation
of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) facilities, systems and
resources that comprise or support the National Aerospace System. Access
to most FAA locations, systems and equipment is restricted and
controlled by the responsible FAA Servicing Security Element. No rights
of access to FAA facilities or resources are conferred to the contractor
or contractor personnel by this contract. The contractor is responsible
for identifying and providing qualified and acceptable personnel in
performance of the contract. To meet this requirement, the contractor
shall perform routine personnel screening prior to personnel having
access to any FAA facility, resources, or sensitive information.

\(1\) The contractor shall obtain a criminal history report of the
prospective employee from the appropriate state authority, i.e., the
state where the individual was last employed. If the criminal history
report reveals an occurrence of activity listed in paragraphs 1 through
6 of the contract attachment entitled \"Screening Standards-Contractor\"
within the preceding 9 years, the prospective employee shall not be
allowed access to any FAA facility, resources, or sensitive information.
Payment of any fees charged for such criminal history reports shall be
the responsibility of the contractor. If the cost is included in the
price of the contract, it shall be subject to the usual tests of
allocability and reasonableness.

\(2\) The Government expects that the contractor will normally contact
prospective employees\' previous employer(s) for employment history, and
apply the contractor\'s customary standards for employment suitability.
If this employment history check reveals a documented occurrence of
activity listed in paragraph 7 of the contract attachment entitled
\"Screening Standards - CONTRACTOR\" within the preceding 9 years, the
prospective employee shall not be allowed access to any FAA facility,
resources, or sensitive information.

\(3\) When specific experience or educational requirements apply to
personnel performing on the contract, the contractor shall verify
prospective employees\' claimed experience or educational
qualifications.

\(b\) **Government Screening Standards for Contractor Personnel.**

\(1\) The Contractor shall inform prospective employees that the FAA
will perform background investigations on contractor personnel prior to
their gaining access to any Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
facility, resource or sensitive information/system in performance of the
contract.

\(2\) Prior to placing any employee in a position having access to FAA
facilities, resources or sensitive information, the contractor shall
provide that employee a copy of the contract attachment entitled
\"Adjudicative Standards: Issues\". (Appendix 6, FAA Order 1600.72). In
addition, the contractor must advise the prospective employee of FAA's
intent to employ such adjudicative standards in determining employee
access as described above.

\(3\) Any personnel the contractor employs to work on FAA facilities and
resources found to have a conviction history within nine (9) years prior
to beginning performance under this contract shall be denied access to
any FAA-controlled facility/resource. No access will be granted until
the Government's background investigation is complete and a favorable
determination made as a result of the adjudication process.

\(c\) Upon written request to the CO or his/her designated
representative, the FAA may waive the screening requirements with
respect to:

\(1\) a contractor employee that has had a FAA background investigation
within the previous five years, with uninterrupted employment and
performance on a FAA facility, and a record of acceptable behavior; or

\(2\) a contractor employee that has had a FAA background investigation
within the previous 12 months, with interrupted employment and
performance on a FAA facility, and a record of acceptable behavior.

\(d\) If in unusual circumstances the contractor finds it necessary to
utilize a person that does not meet the requirements of paragraph (a),
the FAA may at its sole discretion, grant a waiver to this clause.
Contractor\'s request for waiver shall be in writing to the contracting
officer, providing information about mitigating circumstances to the
negative screening results, and explain why the person should have
access to FAA facilities, resources or sensitive information. The FAA
will grant or deny the waiver request in writing within 15 days
following receipt. The decision to grant or deny the waiver is solely
the FAA\'s, and is not subject to appeal or to the \"Disputes\" clause
of this contract. The contractor understands that access suitability
determinations by the responsible Security Servicing Element, although
conclusive under this contract, derive legal standing independent of the
contract.

\(e\) If the contractor fails to perform the required screening, or
disregards the results of the screening, and subject personnel are found
to be unacceptable as a result of FAA background investigation(s), the
contractor shall be responsible for FAA\'s cost of subsequent FAA
background investigation(s) of the replacement personnel. The cost of
additional FAA background investigation(s) may be deducted from requests
for payment under the contract.

\(f\) The Contractor shall retain all reports and related documentation
pertaining to (a)(1) through (3) for the duration of this contract, and
shall make them available for review by the contracting officer, or
his/her designated representative, within 10 days of written request.

\(g\) Neither the time required to perform the screening, nor the impact
of any personnel action(s) required as a consequence of the screening
shall be considered an \"excusable delay\" as described in the
\"Default\" clause of this contract.

\(h\) Notwithstanding the diligent effort of the contractor to provide
qualified and acceptable personnel for performance of the contract, the
CO may by written notice deny access to FAA facilities, resources, or
sensitive information to those personnel who have been deemed
incompetent, careless, dangerous, unsuitable or otherwise objectionable,
former federal employees in violation of a post-employment restriction,
or those whose continued presence on Government property is contrary to
the public interest or inconsistent with the interest of national
security. The Contractor shall fill out, and cause each of its personnel
on the contract to fill out for submission to the Government, such forms
as may be necessary for security or other reasons relating to
qualifications and suitability for contract work. Upon request of the
CO, the Contractor\'s personnel shall be fingerprinted.

H.21 SAVE HARMLESS AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT (JAN 1997) CLA.3211

\(a\) It may become necessary for the Government to issue keys,
identification (ID) cards or vehicle decals to contractor personnel.
Prior to or upon completion or termination of the work required
hereunder, the contractor shall return all such government issued items
to the issuing office with notification to the Contracting Officer
Technical Representative (COTR).

When contract personnel who have been issued such items, either directly
by the Government or through the contract supervisor, no longer require
them to perform the work, the Government issued items shall be returned
to the Government within three workdays. Additionally, unauthorized
duplication or use of such keys, ID cards or decals is a violation of
security procedures and is prohibited.

\(b\) In the event such keys, ID cards, or vehicle decals are not
returned, the contractor understands and agrees that the Government may,
in addition to any other withholding provision of the contract, withhold
\$200 for each key, ID card, or vehicle decal not returned. If the keys,

H.27 REIMBURSEMENT OF TRAVEL COSTS (JAN 2002) CLA.4531

This clause governs the payment of travel expenses as a direct contract
cost, as differentiated from indirect travel cost or Company travel that
would be governed by the Contractor's internal travel policies. The FAA

clause, that are required, approved and incurred by contractor personnel
traveling outside the commuting range of their assigned work location in
performance of this contract.

\(a\) Travel under this clause must be funded under the contract/order
and then authorized in advance by the Contracting Officer or Contracting
Officer's Technical Representative before travel costs are charged as a
direct contract cost. Transportation, lodging and subsistence expenses
shall be separately identified by individual, by trip for reimbursement.
Proof of the contractor's actual purchase price is required for
commercial transportation, lodging and any other items to be reimbursed
at actual cost. Unless directed otherwise, in writing, subsistence cost
(meals and incidental expenses) shall be billed and paid on the per diem
basis specified below.

\(b\) Government reimbursements shall not exceed lodging, subsistence or
per diem and other rates authorized for the travel destination by the
Federal Travel Regulations, FTR as amended, issued by the General
Services Administration (GSA) and maintained on their Website.
Reimbursement for common-carrier fares shall be limited to actual cost
of the lowest economy, standard, coach, or equivalent fare offered
during normal business hours, plus customary agent fees. Any other
common-carrier charges, reimbursement for private or corporate air
travel or use of rental cars must be included in an advanced written
authorization to travel. Expenses for transportation by private or
corporate vehicles shall be reimbursed on a mileage basis at the GSA
transportation rates in effect at the time the travel is accomplished,
plus necessary tolls in lieu of actual expenses of such travel.

\(c\) The contractor shall not be entitled to reimbursement under this
clause for any travel costs associated with contractor-directed
personnel changes, personnel/labor disputes, for employee convenience,
or for travel to and from the normal assigned work locations. All claims
for reimbursement are subject to Government cost principles, i.e.
allowable, reasonable and allocable requirements.

\(d\) Travel costs for transportation, lodging, per diem or subsistence
and other related expenses shall not be burdened by any profit. Nominal
handling charges for reservations, tickets, and receipts may be charged
for travel under this clause to the extent specified in the
contract/order price schedule or payment clause elsewhere in this
contract.

H.28 AGREEMENT TO PARTICIPATE IN ALTERNATIVE CLA.4540

DISPUTE RESOLUTION (APRIL 1998)

\(a\) The Federal Aviation Administration encourages direct
communications and negotiations between the contractor and the
contracting officer in an attempt to resolve contract disputes. In those
situations where the parties are not able to achieve resolution at the
contracting officer level, the agency favors the use of alternative
dispute resolution (ADR) techniques to resolve disputes.

\(b\) The parties hereby agree that, prior to referring a contract
dispute to the Office of Disputes Resolution as described in contract
clause 3.9.1-1 "Contract Disputes", the parties will discuss whether
they are willing to utilize ADR techniques such as mediation or
nonbinding evaluation of the dispute by a neutral party. Upon receipt of
a contract dispute from the contractor, the contracting officer will
explore with the contractor whether the use of ADR techniques would be
appropriate to resolve the dispute. Both parties must agree that the use
of such techniques is appropriate, and agree to fairly share the
associated expenses. If the parties do not mutually agree to utilize ADR
to resolve the dispute, the dispute will be processed in accordance with
the procedures set forth in clause 3.9.1-1.

3.2.2.3-75 REQUESTS FOR CONTRACT INFORMATION (April 2002)

Any contract resulting from this SIR will be considered a public
document, subject to release under the Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA), 5 U.S.C. Section 552. Unless covered by an exemption described
in the Act, all information contained in the contract, including unit
price, hourly rates and their extensions, may be released to the public
upon request. Offerors are therefore urged to mark any sensitive
documents submitted as a result of this Screening Information Request
SIR that may be deemed as trade secrets, proprietary information, or
privileged or confidential financial information.

3.2.4-34 OPTION TO EXTEND SERVICES (APRIL 1996)

The Government may require continued performance of any services within
the limits and at the rates specified in the contract. These rates may
be adjusted only as a result of revisions to prevailing labor rates

3.6.1-7 LIMITATIONS ON SUBCONTRACTING (August 1997)

By submission of an offer and execution of a contract, the
Offeror/Contractor agrees that in performance of the contract in the
case of a contract for:

\(a\) Services (except construction). At least 50 percent of the cost of
contract performance incurred for personnel shall be expended for
employees of the prime contractor.

\(b\) Supplies (other than procurements from a regular dealer in such
supplies). The prime contractor shall perform work for at least 50
percent of the cost of manufacturing the supplies, not including the
cost of materials.

\(c\) General construction. The prime contractor shall perform at least
15 percent of the cost of the contract, not including the cost of
materials, with its own employees.

\(d\) Construction by special trade contractors. The prime contractor
shall perform at least 25 percent of the cost of the contract, not
including the cost of materials, with its own employees.

Compute small business subcontracting labor cost percentages as follows:

Contractor Subcontractor

Direct Labor \$ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \$ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

Allowable Overhead \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

Subtotal (A) \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ (B) \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

Labor G&A \@\_\_\_\_\_% \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

Total Labor Costs (C) \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ (D) \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

To calculate the subcontracting percentage, first add Direct Labor and
Allowable Overhead and enter the figures for the contractor in space (A)
and for the subcontractor (if available)\* in space (B).

Next, calculate Labor G & A by multiplying the G & A rate by the
subtotal figure in space (A). Calculate subcontractor Labor G & A by
multiplying the subcontractor's G & A rate by figure (B). Add the Labor
G & A to the Subtotal and record that figure in the spaces for Total
Labor Costs (C) and (D).

Now, using the formula (D)/(C) + (D), calculate the subcontracting labor
cost percentage.

\*You need to be comparing as like figures as possible; therefore, if
you have a breakdown of the subcontractor's costs, use it in the
formulation above. If you do not have a breakdown of the subcontractors'
costs, you should use the Total Subcontracting Amount for item (D),
though you should still breakdown the contractor's costs.

sensitive documents submitted in response to this SIR such as trade
secrets, proprietary information, or commercial or financial information
that is privileged or confidential, and (2)\[ \] It, as the party that
provided the information, has furnished the contracting officer by
separate letter concurrent with this submittal detailed information
specifically listing the page(s) to be withheld complete with any and
all legal justifications which would permit the FAA to invoke an

3.2.2.7-7 CERTIFICATION REGARDING DEBARMENT, SUSPENSION, PROPOSED
DEBARMENT,

> AND OTHER RESPONSIBILITY MATTERS (APRIL 1996)

\(a\) (1) The Offeror certifies, to the best of its knowledge and
belief, that\--

\(i\) The Offeror and/or any of its Principals\--

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.

Failure of the Offeror to furnish a certification or provide such
additional information as requested by the Contracting Officer may
render the Offeror nonresponsible.

\(d\) Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require

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
GOVERNMENT, the Contracting Officer may terminate the contract resulting
from this SIR for default.

OFFERORS]{.underline}

L.1 PRE-PROPOSAL CONFERENCE

\(a\) Prospective offerors are invited and strongly encouraged to attend
a pre-proposal conference to be held at 9:00 a.m., Tuesday, July 2,
2002, at the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, 6500 South MacArthur
Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK in Room 205 of the Multi-Purpose Building. The
conference will be held for the purpose of clarifying the requirement,
permit general discussions regarding this Screening Information Request,
and a guided tour of the facility.

\(b\) Offerors are required to submit any questions they may have
regarding this requirement electronically to the Contracting Officer,
e-mail: Phyllis.J.Townsley@faa.gov no later than close of business July
27, 2002, so they can be placed on the agenda for discussion or so that
a more definite response can be made. Questions received after that
date, together with any questions generated at the conference, will be
answered in writing as soon as possible following the conference.

\(c\) Remarks, explanations, or answers to questions provided at this
conference shall not qualify the Screening Information Request terms
unless such remarks, explanations or answers are in the form of a formal
written amendment to the Screening Information Request.

\(d\) The following information must be furnished to the Contracting
Officer electronically or facsimile 405-954-9219, for those who will
attend the conference:

\(1\) Name of company represented

\(2\) Name and title of representative(s)

NOTE: Offeror representation is limited to three (3) attendees.

\(e\) Reference AMS Provision 3.8.2-9, Site Visit, herein.

L.2 PROPOSAL CONTENT AND FORMAT

\(a\) The overall proposal shall consist of two physically separate and
detachable volumes, individually titled as follows:

[VOLUME I]{.underline} - SOLICITATION, OFFER AND AWARD DOCUMENTS.

[VOLUME II]{.underline} - TECHNICAL PROPOSAL - Technical proposals shall
be submitted as separate and complete sections for each of the Technical
Evaluation Factors outlined in Section M. The technical proposal shall
not include prices/costs or any pricing information.

\(b\) The required number of copies of each proposal volume is as
follows:

[Volume]{.underline} [Required Number of Copies]{.underline}

I (Solicitation) 2 copies

II (Technical) 5 copies

\(c\) Copy No. 1 (original of each volume) of the proposal shall contain
the signed original of all documents requiring signatures by the
offeror. Use of reproductions of signed originals is authorized in all
other copies (see required number referenced above) of the proposal.

\(d\) No reference shall be made to prices/costs in the technical
proposal. Only one proposal from each offeror shall be considered.

\(e\) Offerors are advised to submit a proposal which is clear and
comprehensive without additional explanation or information.
Nonconformance with the instructions may be cause for rejection. The
Government may make a final determination of the successful offeror
solely on the basis of the proposal as initially submitted without
requesting further information; therefore, offerors are advised to
submit their best proposal initially. If it is deemed necessary,
however, the Government may, at its sole discretion, request additional
information from offerors concerning clarification without substantially
changing any proposal as submitted.

\(f\) Specific attention is invited to AMS paragraph 3.2.2.3.1.2.2,
Communications with Offerors. The FAA may communicate with one or more
offerors at any time during the SIR process. Communications with one
offeror do not necessitate communications with other offerors, since
communications will be offeror-specific. Information determined to have
common application and not considered prejudicial to offerors will be
communicated to all offerors. An award may be made without further
discussions/negotiations. Offerors are to consider all terms and
conditions contained in the formal SIR in preparation of the proposals
set forth herein.

\(g\) To aid in evaluation, proposals shall be clearly and concisely
written as well as being neat, indexed (cross-indexed as appropriate),
and logically assembled. All pages of each volume shall be appropriately
numbered and identified with the date and the solicitation number to the
extent practicable.

L.3 PREPARATION OF VOLUME I (Solicitation Documents)

This volume shall contain a copy of the solicitation duly executed by an
official authorized to bind the offeror. Line item pricing is required
in

Part I, Section B, "Supplies or Services and Prices/Costs." Part IV,
Section K "Representations and Certifications, and Other Statements of
Offerors" must be executed and complete.

L.4 PREPARATION OF VOLUME II (Technical)

\(a\) The technical proposal must be sufficiently detailed to enable
technically oriented personnel to make a thorough evaluation and to
arrive at a sound determination as to whether the proposed services meet
the requirements of the FAA and that the offered approach is valid and
practical. The technical proposal must be specific, detailed and
complete to clearly and fully demonstrate that the offeror has a
thorough understanding of the requirements for, and the technical
problems inherent in, providing services of the scope and character
outlined in the PWS. Clear evidence of services/processes previously
demonstrated and currently in place relating to the various categories
and major factors should be included.

\(b\) Statements that the offeror understands, can, or will comply with
all statement in the PWS, and statements paraphrasing the PWS
requirements or parts thereof, are considered insufficient. Phrases such
as "standard procedures will be employed," or "well-known techniques
will be used," etc., will be considered insufficient.

\(c\) Content is more important than quantity. Proposals shall contain a
table of contents and a matrix tracing PWS requirements to technical
proposal content. Proposals shall be in narrative form, typewritten (no
smaller than 12 point type), double spaced with 1" margins, on standard
8-1/2" x 11" letter size paper, and page numbers at the bottom of each
page. Unnecessarily elaborate brochures or other presentations beyond
that sufficient to present a complete and effective proposal are neither
necessary nor desired. In preparing the proposal, emphasis should be
placed on providing complete information in the areas which are set
forth below and in Part IV, Section M.3, Technical Evaluation.

\(d\) The technical proposal shall be limited to a total of 65 pages.
Two sided printing will be counted as 2 pages. Fold-outs will be counted
as 2 pages. [Evaluators will neither read nor consider any pages beyond
the specified page count.]{.underline} The resume of the project manager
(key personnel) is included in the page limit.

\(e\) In preparing the proposal, emphasis should be placed on supplying
complete information in the areas which are set forth below and in
Section M, Provision M.3, Technical Evaluation. To provide a fair and
equitable evaluation of all proposals, separate and complete responses
must be made to each of the following four (4) factors. The four factors
are of equal importance.

\(1\) [Factor 1 - Past Performance]{.underline}:

Offerors shall submit the following information as part of their
proposal for both the offeror and proposed major subcontractors:

include references for subcontractors which will be members of the
offeror's management team. The elements of experience involve PWS tasks
pertaining to distribution, warehousing, mail processing, mail delivery,
and payroll products delivery.

D. Each offeror will be evaluated on their performance under existing
and prior contracts for similar products or services. Performance
information will be used for both responsibility determinations and as
an evaluation factor for determination of overall technical capability.
Criteria identified in Section M will be used as the basis for past
performance evaluation. The government will focus on information that
demonstrates quality of performance relative to the size and complexity
of the procurement under consideration. References other than those

L.6 DISPOSITION OF UNSUCCESSFUL PROPOSALS

Proposals from unsuccessful offerors will not be returned to the
offeror. Proposal originals will be retained in the contract file. All
other copies will be destroyed by the Contracting Officer.

L.7 SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS

The date and time for receipt of offers is specified in block 9 of
Standard Form 33, Solicitation, Offer, and Award. Any responses received
after the specified time will not be considered in accordance with AMS
provision 3.2.2.3-14, Late Submissions, Modifications, and Withdrawals
of Submittals. Offerors are advised that due to the enhanced security
measures recently implemented at the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center
(MMAC), access to the installation is limited. Accordingly,
hand-delivered submittals other than those submitted by overnight
delivery (i.e., USPS, Federal Express, UPS, DHL, etc.) will not be

L.8 SUBMISSION OF CERTIFIED COST OR PRICING DATA

\(a\) It is anticipated that pricing of this action will be based on
adequate price competition; therefore, offerors are not required to
submit certified cost or pricing data. However, if after receipt of
proposals it is determined that adequate price competition does not
exist, uncertified cost or pricing data will be required.

\(b\) If it is determined that adequate price competition does not
exist, the offeror shall provide current, complete and accurate cost or
pricing data within 15 calendar days after receipt of the contracting
officer\'s request.

L.9 PRE-AWARD SURVEY OF PROSPECTIVE CONTRACTOR

\(a\) If your response to this solicitation is favorably considered, a

\(b\) Offerors are advised that accomplishment of this survey is a part
of the evaluation process and is not to be construed as an indication
that an offeror will receive or is in the best position to receive the
resultant award.

3.2.4-1 TYPE OF CONTRACT (APRIL 1996)

The FAA contemplates award of a firm-fixed-price contract resulting from
this Screening Information Request.

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 shall failure to inspect the site constitute
grounds for a dispute after contract award.

3.9.1-3 PROTEST (AUGUST 1999)

AS A CONDITION OF SUBMITTING AN OFFER OR RESPONSE TO THIS SIR (OR OTHER
SOLICITATION, IF APPROPRIATE), THE OFFEROR OR POTENTIAL OFFEROR AGREES
TO BE BOUND BY THE FOLLOWING PROVISIONS RELATING TO PROTESTS:

\(a\) Protests concerning Federal Aviation Administration Screening
Information Requests (SIRs) or awards of contracts shall be resolved
through the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) dispute resolution
system at the Office of Dispute Resolution for Acquisition (ODRA) and
shall be governed by the procedures set forth in 14 C.F.R. Parts 14 and
17, which are hereby incorporated by reference. Judicial review, where
available, will be in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 46110 and shall apply
only to final agency decisions. A protestor may seek review of a final
FAA decision only after its administrative remedies have been exhausted.

\(b\) Offerors initially should attempt to resolve any issues concerning
potential protests with the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer
should make reasonable efforts to answer questions promptly and
completely, and, where possible, to resolve concerns or controversies.
The protest time limitations, however, will not be extended by attempts
to resolve a potential protest with the Contracting Officer.

\(c\) The filing of a protest with the ODRA may be accomplished by mail,
overnight delivery, hand delivery, or by facsimile. A protest is
considered to be filed on the date it is received by the ODRA.

\(d\) Only an interested party may file a protest. An interested party
is one whose direct economic interest has been or would be affected by
the award or failure to award an FAA contract. Proposed subcontractors
are not \"interested parties\" within this definition.

\(e\) A written protest must be filed with the ODRA within the times set
forth below, or the protest shall be dismissed as untimely:

\(1\) Protests based upon alleged improprieties in a solicitation or a
SIR that are apparent prior to bid opening or the time set for receipt
of initial proposals shall be filed prior to bid opening or the time set
for the receipt of initial proposals.

\(2\) In procurements where proposals are requested, alleged
improprieties that do not exist in the initial solicitation, but which
are subsequently incorporated into the solicitation, must be protested
not later than the next closing time for receipt of proposals following
the incorporation.

\(3\) For protests other than those related to alleged solicitation
improprieties, the protest must be filed on the later of the following
two dates:

\(i\) Not later than seven (7) business days after the date the
protester knew or should have known of the grounds for the protest; or

\(ii\) If the protester has requested a post-award debriefing from the
FAA Product Team, not later than five (5) business days after the date
on which the Product Team holds that debriefing.

\(f\) Protests shall be filed at:

\(1\) Office of Dispute Resolution for Acquisition, AGC-70, Federal
Aviation Administration, 400 7th Street, S.W., Room 8332, Washington, DC
20590, Telephone: (202) 366-6400, Facsimile: (202) 366-7400; or

\(2\) other address as specified in 14 CFR Part 17.

\(g\) At the same time as filing the protest with the ODRA, the
protester shall serve a copy of the protest on the Contracting Officer
and any other official designated in the SIR for receipt of protests by
means reasonably calculated to be received by the Contracting Officer on
the same day as it is to be received by the ODRA. The protest shall
include a signed statement from the protester, certifying to the ODRA
the manner of service, date, and time when a copy of the protest was
served on the Contracting Officer and other designated official(s).

\(h\) Additional information and guidance about the ODRA dispute
resolution process for protests can be found on the ODRA Website at

[PART IV - SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARDS]{.underline}

M.1 EVALUATION CRITERIA

Technical proposals shall be evaluated for basic adequacy and shall be
considered for purpose of award on an "acceptable" or "unacceptable"
basis only as determined by the procedures outlined in the Technical
Proposal Requirements provision contained in this RFO. Of those
proposals rated "acceptable" award shall be made to the low responsible
offeror.

M.2 INTRODUCTION

\(a\) Each proposal will be evaluated on the basis of its technical and
price proposals as set forth herein. Separate technical and price
proposals are required as described in Section L.2. Proposals may be
eliminated if they are determined to be grossly deficient (i.e., the
proposal does not represent a reasonable effort to address itself to all
elements of the solicitation or PWS or clearly demonstrates that the
offeror does not understand the requirements of the solicitation and an
extensive rewrite would be required before it could be considered
acceptable for evaluation), or if they are determined to be outside the
competitive range established by the Contracting Officer after initial
evaluations are completed.

\(b\) If any portion of the work is to be performed by a subcontractor,
offerors must include in their proposals supporting documentation
describing each subcontractor's qualifications, how the subcontractor
was determined.

\(c\) Technical proposals will be evaluated, rated and scored in
accordance with pre-established evaluation factors and subfactors. The
factors and subfactors are listed in provision M.3, Technical
Evaluation.

\(d\) Because several proposals are anticipated, uniformity of proposals
is essential to assure a fair and accurate assessment of each offer. All
proposals must be submitted in accordance with Section L and must
conform to all the terms and conditions of the solicitation. Failure to
conform to all requirements expressed may be cause for rejection without
further evaluation or discussion.

\(e\) Additional information may be requested from offerors whose
proposals the Government considers reasonably susceptible to being made
acceptable. The information may clarify or supplement, but not basically
change the proposal as submitted. The Government reserves the right to
award a contract based on initial offers received, without discussions
or negotiations. For this reason, each initial offer should be submitted
on the most favorable terms from the standpoint of technical and price.

\(f\) Offerors whose technical proposals are determined to be
"acceptable" will have their price proposals evaluated for
reasonableness. The responsible offeror offering the lowest evaluated
price for the basic and option years whose offer complies with the terms
and conditions of the RFO will receive the award.

M.3 TECHNICAL EVALUATION

\(a\) Selection of offerors whose technical proposals are determined to
be acceptable will be based on evaluation of technical proposals
according to the factors listed below: These factors are equal in
importance.

\(1\) Past Performance

\(2\) Knowledge of Government Requirements

\(3\) Contract Staffing/Human Resource Issues

\(4\) Contract Management

\(b\) Each factor and subfactor will be rated as \"acceptable\" or
\"unacceptable\". Any offeror whose proposal does not achieve a rating
of \"acceptable\" in all factors and subfactors will be ineligible for
award.

\(1\) [Factor 1 - Past Performance]{.underline}

A. Past performance will be evaluated as follows:

\(i\) Quality of Product or Service will be evaluated for compliance
with contract requirements - adherence to quality control plan -
technical expertise - Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) history - and
corrective action(s).

\(ii\) Timeliness of Performance will be evaluated for details such as
interim milestones met - reliable - responsive to technical directions -
completed on time, including wrap-up and contract administration - and
no liquidated damages assessed.

\(iii\) Business Relations will be evaluated for effective management -
reasonable/cooperative behavior - flexible - effective contractor
recommended solutions - and business-like concern for Government's
interests.

B. Assessment of the offeror's past performance will be one means of
evaluating the credibility of the offeror's proposal, and relative
capability to meet performance requirements.

C. Information utilized will be obtained from the references listed in
the proposal, other customers known to the Government, consumer
protection organizations, and others who may have useful and relevant
information. Information will also be considered regarding any
significant subcontractors, and key personnel records.

D. Evaluation of past performance will often be quite subjective based
on consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances. It will
include a determination of the offerors commitment to customer
satisfaction and will include conclusions of informed judgment. However,
the basis for conclusions of judgment will be documented.

E. Award may be made from the initial offers without discussions.
However, if discussions are held, offerors will be given an opportunity
to address unfavorable reports of past performance if the offeror has
not had a previous opportunity to review the rating. Recent contracts
will be examined to ensure that corrective measures have been
implemented. Prompt corrective action in isolated instances may not
outweigh overall negative trends.

F. If an offeror, or the proposed employees for the offeror, do not have
a past performance history relating to this solicitation, the offeror
will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on this factor. This will
be accomplished by rating the contractor at the median numerical rating
of 2 = Satisfactory.

\(2\) [Factor 2 - Knowledge of Government Requirements]{.underline}

\(i\) [Subfactor 2-1 Distribution and Warehousing
Activities]{.underline}: Evaluation of the offeror's knowledge and
understanding of distribution and warehousing activities relating to the
effective and timely performance of the services required in the PWS.
Evaluation of the offeror's ability to remain

current and responsive to new regulations, orders, directives, and
policy affecting performance.

\(ii\) [Subfactor 2-2 Mail Processing and Mail Delivery
Activities]{.underline}: Evaluation of the offeror's knowledge and
understanding of mail processing and mail delivery activities relating
to the effective and timely performance of the services required in the
PWS. Evaluation of the offeror's ability to remain current and
responsive to new regulations, orders, directives, and policy affecting
performance.

\(iii\) [Subfactor 2-3 Payroll Products Processing and Administrative
Activities]{.underline}: Evaluation of the offeror's knowledge and
understanding of payroll products processing and administrative
activities relating to the effective and timely performance of the
services required in the PWS. Evaluation of the offeror's ability to
remain current and responsive to new regulations, orders, directives,
and policy affecting performance.

\(3\) [Factor 3 - Contract Staffing/Human Resource Issues]{.underline}

\(i\) [Subfactor 3-1 Project Manager]{.underline}: Evaluation of resume
and qualifications of proposed project manager in accordance with the
PWS, Paragraph 1.2.

\(ii\) [Subfactor 3-2 Staffing Plan]{.underline}: Evaluation of
offeror's staffing plan for obtaining personnel to perform services
required by the PWS. Evaluation of the project manager's extent of
authority.

\(iii\) [Subfactor 3-3 Identification of Training Needs]{.underline}:
Evaluation of offeror's ability to identify training needs as well as
maintenance of and enhancement of employee training.

\(4\) [Factor 4 - Contact Management]{.underline}

\(i\) [Subfactor 4-1 Contract Priority]{.underline}: Assessment of the
offeror's proposed organizational chart showing the placement of the
contract within the organization and indicating personnel who shall have
authority to set work and personnel policies and make management
decisions regarding the contract. Define the level of responsiveness the
offeror's organization will provide to situations that require prompt
decision making.

\(ii\) [Subfactor 4-2 Contract Operational Organization]{.underline}:
Assessment of the offeror's organizational chart(s) that defines
placement of all positions and functions (full and part-time) which will
support this contract. Assessment of the offeror's defined spans of
control, delegation within the organization, and requirements for
external support.

\(iii\) [Subfactor 4-3 Quality Control Plan (QCP)]{.underline}:
Evaluation of the offeror's overall quality control plan applicable to
the specific tasks to be performed. The plan shall show how the highest
quality of services and materials will be furnished and how it will be
implemented and maintained over the life of the contract.

\(iv\) [Subfactor 4-4 Strike Contingency Plan (SCP)]{.underline}:
Assessment of the offeror's strike contingency plan to ensure continuity
of all operations in the event of a strike by contractor personnel.

\(v\) [Subfactor 4-5 Government Property]{.underline}: Evaluation of
offeror's plan for protection, safeguarding and accountability of
government property to be used in performance of the contract.
