(i)            Waiver


 


For
contractor employees performing services on-site at an SSA facility up to one
day and where access to programmatic or sensitive information is not
required, the contractor may request that the Protective Security SPO waive
submission of the FD-258s and the Credit Authorization form.


 


If
the SPO authorizes the waiver, it will apply only to the one day for which the
contractor requested it.


 


If
an individual subsequently performs or is expected to perform additional work,
the SPO will not approve another waiver. 
The contractor must therefore submit the FD-258s and Credit
Authorization form.


 
















 


	
  0600-03-60006

  	
  43

  



 


(j)            Pre-Screening


 


The Protective Security SPO will use the
information from the completed forms as part of the basis for making a
pre-screening determination.  The
Protective Security SPO will notify the contractor whether a prospective
employee may or may perform under the contract pending a final suitability
determination.  Concurrently, the
Protective Security SPO will send a copy of the notification to the contracting
officer and project officer.


 


Time Frame for Pre-Screening

contractor should anticipate that the Protective Security SPO will issue the
notification within five days after receipt of the properly completed forms.

suitability determination for each contractor employee who does not require access to programmatic
or sensitive systems information.


 


Note:  The contractor may expect a final
suitability determination to be received approximately 45 days after
submittal of the completed forms.


 


The
Personnel Security SPO makes the
final suitability determination for each contractor employee who does
require access to programmatic or sensitive systems
information.


 


Note:  The contractor may expect a final

(k)          Unsuitable Employees


 


If
the Government determines that a contractor employee or applicant is
unsuitable, the Protective Security SPO or the Personnel Security SPO will
advise the contractor in writing that such employee may not continue to perform
or being performed under the contract. Concurrently, the Protective Security
SPO or Personnel Security SPO will send a copy of the notification to the CO
and the PO.


 


When
the contractor receives the notification, the contractor must immediately remove the employee from
performing under the contract.  The
contractor must confirm, in writing to the SPO the date of the employee’s
removal.


 


Concurrently,
the cognizant SPO will advise the PO and the CO that he has notified the
contractor that the proposed contractor personnel have been determined
unsuitable/unfit to perform on the contract and must be replaced.  The letter will also request that a
replacement(s) be named and the appropriate security forms completed as quickly
as possible in order that contract performance will not be adversely impacted.  The SPO’s letter will also advise the
contractor to contact the CO if there are any contract performance problems
related to the removal.


 


Neither
the denial resulting from the pre-screening nor the removal of an individual
determined unsuitable gives rise to an equitable adjustment under the contract.


 


(1)           Contractor Notification to the Government


 


In
the event that contractor personnel performing on this contract either leave
the company or are removed from the project, or are arrested or charged with a
crime during the term of this contract, the contractor shall notify the
Protective Security immediately. In the notification, the contractor must
provide the contractor personnel name(s), SSN, the type of charge(s), the court
date, and, if available, the disposition of the charge(s).


 


(m)          Duration of Suitability Determination


 


The
Government has full control over granting, denying or withholding access to SSA
facilities and for requiring the contractor to remove personnel from performing
under the contract.


 
















 


	
  0600-03-60006

  	
  45

  



 


Following
a successful pre-screening, the Government will usually permit contractor personnel to work on the contract
pending a final suitability determination.


 


Permitting
a contractor employee to work who does not assure that a favorable final suitability determination will follow. This
permission to work or issuance of a favorable final suitability determination
does not prevent, preclude, or bar the Government from withdrawing or
terminating any such permission or suitability determination.


 


C-4.6       REMOVAL FROM DUTY


 


The
Government* may request that the contractor immediately remove any contractor
employee(s) from working on the contract should the Government determine that
individuals are unfit to perform on the contract. The contractor must comply
with these requests. The Government’s determination of unfit may be made from,

C-4.15     CONTRACT INSPECTORS


 


Contract
Inspectors are subordinates of the GPO and are responsible for the day-to-day
inspection and monitoring of the contractor’s work.  The responsibility of the contract inspector
include, but are not limited to: inspecting the work to ensure compliance with
the contract requirements; documenting through written inspection reports the
results of all inspections conducted; following through to ensure that all
defects or omissions are corrected; conferring with representatives of the
contractor regarding any problems encountered in the performance of the work
and generally assisting the GPO in carrying out his responsibilities.


 


C-4.16     ADJUSTING PAYMENTS FOR DEDUCTIONS


 


DEDUCTIONS


 


It
is the objective of the Government to obtain complete and satisfactory
performance in accordance with the terms of the specifications and quality of
work requirements in this contract.


 


To
this end, the Government is contracting for the complete performance of guard
services as identified in the specifications, and deductions will, therefore,
be made as provided in this contract.


 


The
Contract Deduction Table


 


In
determining monetary deduction for non-performance of work under this contract,
or for deficiencies in the work performed, the Government will use the dollar
amounts specified in the Criteria for Contract Deduction Table (See
agency-specific clause below).


 
















 


	
  0600-03-60006

  	
  58

  



 


It
is agreed that failure to accomplish any work required under this contract, or
to satisfactorily accomplish such work, shall constitute a deficiency for which
a reduction of payment will be made. 
Inadequate performance is just as undesirable as non-performance, and
the cost of correcting inadequate performance in a particular guard service
area may equal the cost of normal guard services.


 


The
GPO will compare the work hours reported by the contractor with the Form 4072,
Contract Guarding Duty Register or other approved sign-in/sign-out form. These
reports will be the basis for computing work hour deductions.  In the event the contractor reports more
hours than are reflected on the Form SSA 4072 or other approved
sign-in/sign-out form, the sign-in/sign-out form will prevail.  For example: 
If the weekly report of the contractor indicates than an employee worked
8 hours and the Form SSA 4072 shows that employee as having been in the
building 5 hours, the 5 hours will prevail and a deduction will be taken for
the 3 hours not furnished.


 


(1)           Deductions for Failure to Provide Supervisory and Productive Work Hours


 


In
the event the contractor, for any reason whatsoever, fails to provide workpower
specified for supervision and productive, deductions will be made at the rate
indicated on the Criteria for Contract Deduction (Section C-4) , or the
contract rate whichever is greater.  The
contract rate will be determined by dividing the annual contract price by the
total number of work hours (productive and supervisory) required annually.  Deductions will be made at quarter hour
increments.


 


(2)           Deductions for Failure to Provide Equipment, Materials and Uniforms


 


In
the event the contractor fails to provide uniforms or equipment required, the
CO will make an equitable adjustment in the contract price for the period of
deficient performance.  In determining
the amount of the adjustment, the CO will use as a basis the amount it would
cost the Government to obtain the item(s) which the contractor failed to
provide through rental, lease or purchase. 
If the item is not readily available for rent or lease and must be
purchased, the Government will deduct the full price of the


 
















 


	
  0600-03-60006

  	
  59

  



 


purchased
item form the initial violation. 
Additional deductions will not be made for subsequent violations
involving the same item, by the employee. This will be the basis for adjusting
payment regardless of whether the Government does in fact supply the item.


 


(3)           Deficient Performance


 


In
the event guard(s) is provided with defective equipment, defective uniforms, or
their appearance is unsatisfactory, their weapons are unclean, etc., the GPO or
his/her designees(s) shall, in writing, call the attention of the contractor to
the deficiency and request the deficiency be corrected within such time as the
GPO or his/her designee(s) deems reasonable. 
If the contractor does not correct the deficiency within the specified
time, a Physical Security Specialist or other Government employee will assume
the duties of the contract guard until such time as the contractor corrects the
deficiency.  Deductions will be made at
the rates specified in Section C-4 or the contract rate whichever is
greater for all hours supplied by Government employees as a result of the
contractor’s failure to provide satisfactory service.


 


On
a monthly basis, the contractor will provide a letter signed by a company
officer, to the CO, detailing and acknowledging the deficiencies and providing
remedial actions instituted to prevent reoccurences in the deficiencies.

C-4.18     NOTICE TO CONTRACTOR
BEFORE CONTRACT DEDUCTION


 


The CO or the GPO will
inform the contractor in writing of the type and dollar amount of the proposed
deductions in accordance with the Criteria for Contract Deduction of this
contract, on or before the 10th working day of the month succeeding
the performance period for which the deductions are being proposed.


 


The contractor may, within 10 Government business days of receipt of
the notification from the CO or her designated representative of the proposed
deductions, present to the CO specific reasons why any or all of the proposed
deductions are not warranted. Reasons must be solidly based, and must provide
specific facts which justify reconsideration and adjustment of the proposed
amount to be deducted.  Failure to
respond within the 10 day period may be construed as acceptance of the
deductions proposed.


 


Monthly payments (except for the final monthly payment) will not be
delayed or withheld pending resolution of disputes regarding proposed
deductions.  If the CO makes a
determination that any or all of the proposed deductions are warranted, the CO
shall so notify the contractor, and subsequent payments under the contract
shall be adjusted accordingly.


 


Before final (last) payment is made, the contractor shall furnish the
CO with a release of all claims against the Government arising by virtue of
this contract, other than claims in stated amounts as may be specifically
excepted by the contractor from the operation of the release.  If the contractor’s claim to amounts payable
under the contract has been assigned under the Assignment of Claims Act of
1940, as amended (31 U.S.C. 203, 41 U.S.C. 15), a release may also be required
of the assignee. To ensure that all necessary adjustments for nonperformance or
unsatisfactory performance have been made and a release of claims has been
submitted before the contract is closed out the final (last) payment will be
made in 45 calendar days after receipt of a proper invoice, date of completion
of performance or receipt of release of claims by the CO whichever is later.

Payment for the final month of this contract, or any extension thereof,
may be subject to conditional deductions by the GPO which will be adjusted, if
appropriate, following receipt of such adjustments results in the contractor being
entitled to payment of any amount conditionally withheld, such payment will be
made following issuance of the CO’s final decision pursuant to the preceding
paragraph.

C-4.21  BASIS OF PAYMENT


 


Payment
will be made on a calendar month basis in arrears upon submission of an
invoice.  In the event the contract

monetary deductions for nonperformance of work under this contract.


 


It
is agreed that failure to accomplish any work required under this contract, or

In
the event of loss or damage to Government equipment or property, the contractor
may be held liable.  The contractor shall

shall be measured by repair or replacement costs, whichever is less:  such costs shall be deducted from the
contractor’s invoice.


 


C-4.25     IDENTIFICATION OF CONTRACTOR
