acceptance of work by the Government in conformance with the work standards. Inspections will be done
at a minimum of once a month or more frequently if needed.
Any Government personnel or visiting public may observe unacceptable services, incomplete work or
required services not performed and may contact the CO or the COR to communicate a complaint.
Customer complaints will be substantiated by the COR for validity. Should the COR determine that the
complaint is valid, the COR will inform the Contractor orally and in writing within 48 hours of validation
of the complaint. Refer to the Performance Requirements Summary Tables for remedy for nonconforming services.
3.4 – Acceptance - Workmanship shall be of an acceptable quality such as would be found in a business
office visited by the general public and meet the acceptable quality level (AQL) listed in summary.
3.5 – Payments - Payment will be made monthly for work meeting or exceeding the AQL completed and
accepted by the Government covering the previous month’s service. Upon acceptance, the Government
will pay monthly the appropriate amount determined by the occurrence of the services as stated in the
Schedule of Items.
Deductions – anytime the performance of services falls below the AQL, a deduction may be made for
services that cannot be re-performed or poorly performed work. For documented poor performance a
reduction of 10%-30% may be reduced on the invoice for the applicable line items depending upon the
severity of the poor performance. For non-performance, no payment will be issued.
4.0 Definitions
4.1 ACCEPTABLE QUALITY LEVEL (AQL). The maximum allowable deviation from acceptable
performance that may occur before the Government will invoke payment deduction. An AQL does not
allow a contractor knowingly to offer defective services, but limits reduced payment to circumstances in
which defective performance results in a measurable reduction in the value of services rendered.

services. The Government must exercise its post-acceptance rights -(1) Within a reasonable time after the defect was discovered or should have been discovered; and
(2) Before any substantial change occurs in the condition of the item, unless the change is due to
the defect in the item.
(b) Assignment. The Contractor or its assignee may assign its rights to receive payment due as a result of

dispute arising under the contract.

occurrence beyond the reasonable control of the Contractor and without its fault or negligence such as,
acts of God or the public enemy, acts of the Government in either its sovereign or contractual capacity,
fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, unusually severe weather, and delays of common
carriers. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing as soon as it is reasonably possible
after the commencement of any excusable delay, setting forth the full particulars in connection therewith,
shall remedy such occurrence with all reasonable dispatch, and shall promptly give written notice to the
Contracting Officer of the cessation of such occurrence.

provision, contract clause (e.g., 52.232-33, Payment by Electronic Funds
Transfer—System for Award Management, or 52.232-34, Payment by Electronic

(i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, “doing business as” name, or
division name (whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used in
performing the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding
novation and change-of-name agreements in Subpart 42.12, the Contractor shall provide
the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day’s written notification
of its intention to:
(A) Change the name in the SAM database;
(B) Comply with the requirements of Subpart 42.12 of the FAR;
(C) Agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the responsible
Contracting Officer. The Contractor must provide with the notification sufficient
documentation to support the legally changed name.
(ii) If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (t)(2)(i) of this
clause, or fails to perform the agreement at paragraph (t)(2)(i)(C) of this clause, and, in
the absence of a properly executed novation or change-of-name agreement, the SAM
information that shows the Contractor to be other than the Contractor indicated in the
contract will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the
“Suspension of Payment” paragraph of the electronic funds transfer (EFT) clause of this
contract.
(3) The Contractor shall not change the name or address for EFT payments or manual payments,
as appropriate, in the SAM record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims
(see FAR Subpart 32.8, Assignment of Claims). Assignees shall be separately registered in the
SAM database. Information provided to the Contractor’s SAM record that indicates payments,
including those made by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that Contractor will be
considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the “Suspension of payment”
paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract.
(4) Offerors and Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation
requirements via SAM accessed through https://www.acquisition.gov.
(u) Unauthorized Obligations.
(1) Except as stated in paragraph (u)(2) of this clause, when any supply or service
acquired under this contract is subject to any End Use License Agreement (EULA), Terms of
Service (TOS), or similar legal instrument or agreement, that includes any clause requiring the
Government to indemnify the Contractor or any person or entity for damages, costs, fees, or any
other loss or liability that would create an Anti-Deficiency Act violation (31 U.S.C. 1341), the
following shall govern:
(i) Any such clause is unenforceable against the Government.
(ii) Neither the Government nor any Government authorized end user shall be
deemed to have agreed to such clause by virtue of it appearing in the EULA,
TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement. If the EULA, TOS, or similar legal
instrument or agreement is invoked through an “I agree” click box or other
comparable mechanism (e.g., “click-wrap” or “browse-wrap” agreements),
execution does not bind the Government or any Government authorized end user
to such clause.

(iii) Any such clause is deemed to be stricken from the EULA, TOS, or similar
legal instrument or agreement.
(2) Paragraph (u)(1) of this clause does not apply to indemnification by the Government
that is expressly authorized by statute and specifically authorized under applicable
agency regulations and procedures.

Government will reimburse the Contractor the actual cost of materials (less any

regard to securing prompt delivery of satisfactory materials; and

reimbursed.
(1) Other direct Costs. The Government will reimburse the Contractor on
the basis of actual cost for the following, provided such costs comply with
the requirements in paragraph (i)(1)(ii)(B) of this clause: [Insert each
element of other direct costs (e.g., travel, computer usage charges, etc.
Insert “None” if no reimbursement for other direct costs will be provided.
If this is an indefinite delivery contract, the Contracting Officer may insert
“Each order must list separately the elements of other direct charge(s) for
that order or, if no reimbursement for other direct costs will be provided,
insert ‘None’.”]
(2) Indirect Costs (Material handling, Subcontract Administration, etc.).
The Government will reimburse the Contractor for indirect costs on a prorata basis over the period of contract performance at the following fixed
price: [Insert a fixed amount for the indirect costs and payment schedule.

obligations under this contract within such ceiling price. If at any time the Contractor has
reason to believe that the hourly rate payments and material costs that will accrue in
performing this contract in the next succeeding 30 days, if added to all other payments
and costs previously accrued, will exceed 85 percent of the ceiling price in the Schedule,
the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer giving a revised estimate of the total
price to the Government for performing this contract with supporting reasons and
documentation. If at any time during the performance of this contract, the Contractor has
reason to believe that the total price to the Government for performing this contract will
be substantially greater or less than the then stated ceiling price, the Contractor shall so
notify the Contracting Officer, giving a revised estimate of the total price for performing
this contract, with supporting reasons and documentation. If at any time during
performance of this contract, the Government has reason to believe that the work to be
required in performing this contract will be substantially greater or less than the stated
ceiling price, the Contracting Officer will so advise the Contractor, giving the then
revised estimate of the total amount of effort to be required under the contract.
(3) Ceiling price. The Government will not be obligated to pay the Contractor any
amount in excess of the ceiling price in the Schedule, and the Contractor shall not be
obligated to continue performance if to do so would exceed the ceiling price set forth in
the Schedule, unless and until the Contracting Officer notifies the contractor in writing
that the ceiling price has been increased and specifies in the notice a revised ceiling that
shall constitute the ceiling price for performance under this contract. When and to the
extent that the ceiling price set forth in the Schedule has been increased, any hours
expended and material costs incurred by the Contractor in excess of the ceiling price
before the increase shall be allowable to the same extent as if the hours expended and
material costs had been incurred after the increase in the ceiling price.

Contracting Officer (or authorized representative) will have access to the following

invoice met the qualifications for the labor categories specified in the contract.

rate in the schedule), when timecards are required as substantiation for payment—

(D) Employees whose time has been included in any invoice for the
purpose of verifying that these employees have worked the hours shown

(iii) For material and subcontract costs that are reimbursed on the basis of actual
cost—
(A) Any invoices or subcontract agreements substantiating material costs;
and
(B) Any documents supporting payment of those invoices.
(5) Overpayments/Underpayments. Each payment previously made shall be subject to
reduction to the extent of amounts, on preceding invoices, that are found by the
Contracting Officer not to have been properly payable and shall also be subject to
reduction for overpayments or to increase for underpayments. The Contractor shall
promptly pay any such reduction within 30 days unless the parties agree otherwise. The
Government within 30 days will pay any such increases, unless the parties agree
otherwise. The Contractor’s payment will be made by check. If the Contractor becomes
aware of a duplicate invoice payment or that the Government has otherwise overpaid on
an invoice payment, the Contractor shall—
(i) Remit the overpayment amount to the payment office cited in the contract
along with a description of the overpayment including the—
(A) Circumstances of the overpayment (e.g., duplicate payment, erroneous
payment, liquidation errors, date(s) of overpayment);

(C) Affected contract line item or subline item, if applicable; and
(D) Contractor point of contact.
(ii) Provide a copy of the remittance and supporting documentation to the
Contracting Officer.
(6)
(i) All amounts that become payable by the Contractor to the Government under
this contract shall bear simple interest from the date due until paid unless paid
within 30 days of becoming due. The interest rate shall be the interest rate
established by the Secretary of the Treasury, as provided in section 611 of the
Contract Disputes Act of 1978 (Public Law 95-563), which is applicable to the
period in which the amount becomes due, and then at the rate applicable for each
six month period as established by the Secretary until the amount is paid.

(ii) The Government may issue a demand for payment to the Contractor upon
finding a debt is due under the contract.

demanded by the Contracting Officer (see FAR 32.60702).

practicable following completion of the work under this contract, but in no event
later than 1 year (or such longer period as the Contracting Officer may approve in
writing) from the date of completion.
(7) Release of claims. The Contractor, and each assignee under an assignment entered
into under this contract and in effect at the time of final payment under this contract, shall

subject only to the following exceptions.
(i) Specified claims in stated amounts, or in estimated amounts if the amounts are
not susceptible to exact statement by the Contractor.

Contractor that the Government is prepared to make final payment, whichever is
earlier.
(iii) Claims for reimbursement of costs (other than expenses of the Contractor by
reason of its indemnification of the Government against patent liability),
including reasonable incidental expenses, incurred by the Contractor under the
terms of this contract relating to patents.
(8) Prompt payment. The Government will make payment in accordance with the Prompt
Payment Act (31 U.S.C 3903) and prompt payment regulations at 5 CFR part 1315.
(9) Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). If the Government makes payment by EFT, see
52.212-5(b) for the appropriate EFT clause.
(10) Discount. In connection with any discount offered for early payment, time shall be
computed from the date of the invoice. For the purpose of computing the discount earned,
payment shall be considered to have been made on the date that appears on the payment
check or the specified payment date if an electronic funds transfer payment is made.
(l) Termination for the Government’s convenience. The Government reserves the right to
terminate this contract, or any part hereof, for its sole convenience. In the event of such

Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest
Page 34 of 68
cause any and all of its suppliers and subcontractors to cease work. Subject to the terms of this
contract, the Contractor shall be paid an amount for direct labor hours (as defined in the
Schedule of the contract) determined by multiplying the number of direct labor hours expended
before the effective date of termination by the hourly rate(s) in the contract, less any hourly rate
payments already made to the Contractor plus reasonable charges the Contractor can demonstrate
to the satisfaction of the Government using its standard record keeping system that have resulted
from the termination. The Contractor shall not be required to comply with the cost accounting
standards or contract cost principles for this purpose. This paragraph does not give the
Government any right to audit the Contractor’s records. The Contractor shall not be paid for any
work performed or costs incurred that reasonably could have been avoided.
(m) Termination for cause. The Government may terminate this contract, or any part hereof, for
cause in the event of any default by the Contractor, or if the Contractor fails to comply with any
contract terms and conditions, or fails to provide the Government, upon written request, with
adequate assurances of future performance. Subject to the terms of this contract, the Contractor
shall be paid an amount computed under paragraph (i) Payments of this clause, but the “hourly
rate” for labor hours expended in furnishing work not delivered to or accepted by the
Government shall be reduced to exclude that portion of the rate attributable to profit. Unless
otherwise specified in paragraph (a)(4) of this clause, the portion of the “hourly rate” attributable
to profit shall be 10 percent. In the event of termination for cause, the Contractor shall be liable
to the Government for any and all rights and remedies provided by law. If it is determined that
the Government improperly terminated this contract for default, such termination shall be
deemed a termination for convenience.

(iii) The Government will evaluate offers in accordance with the policies and procedures
of FAR Part 25. For line items covered by the WTO GPA, the Government will evaluate
offers of U.S.-made or designated country end products without regard to the restrictions
of the Buy American Act. The Government will consider for award only offers of U.S.made or designated country end products unless the Contracting Officer determines that
there are no offers for such products or that the offers for such products are insufficient to
fulfill the requirements of the solicitation.
(h) Certification Regarding Responsibility Matters (Executive Order 12689). (Applies only if the contract
value is expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.) The offeror certifies, to the best of its
knowledge and belief, that the offeror and/or any of its principals-(1) [_] Are, [_] are not presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, or declared
ineligible for the award of contracts by any Federal agency;
(2) [_] Have, [_] have not, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been convicted of or
had a civil judgment rendered against them for: commission of fraud or a criminal offense in
connection with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a Federal, state or local
government 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, tax evasion, violating Federal criminal tax laws,
or receiving stolen property; and
(3) [_] Are, [_] are not presently indicted for, or otherwise criminally or civilly charged by a
Government entity with, commission of any of these offenses enumerated in paragraph (h)(2) of
this clause; and
(4) [_] Have, [_] have not, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been notified of any
delinquent Federal taxes in an amount that exceeds $3,000 for which the liability remains
unsatisfied.
(i) Taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply:
(A) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it
has been assessed. A liability is not finally determined if there is a pending
administrative or judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the
liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have
been exhausted.
(B) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the
taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and
required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action
is precluded.
(ii) Examples.
(A) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C.
§6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax
deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability.
Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability
until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appear rights.
(B) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax
liability, and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under I.R.C. §6320 entitling
Solicitation Number: AG-84N8-S-14-0006
Mountain View Ranger District Janitorial
Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest
Page 57 of 68
the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals Contesting the
lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain
the lien filing. In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the
underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to
contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax
liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax
liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.
(C) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C.
§6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with
the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not
currently required to make full payment.
(D) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is not
delinquent because enforced collection action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. §362
(the Bankruptcy Code).
(i) Certification Regarding Knowledge of Child Labor for Listed End Products (Executive Order 13126).
[The Contracting Officer must list in paragraph (i)(1) any end products being acquired under this

product furnished under this contract. On the basis of those efforts, the offeror certifies
that it is not aware of any such use of child labor.
(j) Place of manufacture. (Does not apply unless the solicitation is predominantly for the acquisition of
manufactured end products.) For statistical purposes only, the offeror shall indicate whether the place of
manufacture of the end products it expects to provide in response to this solicitation is predominantly—

manufactured in the United States exceeds the total anticipated price of offered end products
manufactured outside the United States); or
(2) [_] Outside the United States.
(k) Certificates regarding exemptions from the application of the Service Contract Act. (Certification by
the offeror as to its compliance with respect to the contract also constitutes its certification as to
compliance by its subcontractor if it subcontracts out the exempt services.) [The contracting officer is to
check a box to indicate if paragraph (k)(1) or (k)(2) applies.]
(1) [_] Maintenance, calibration, or repair of certain equipment as described in FAR 22.10034(c)(1). The offeror [_] does [_] does not certify that—

subcontract) to the general public in substantial quantities in the course of normal

evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of

SECTION M - Evaluation Factors for Award
52.212-2 Evaluation -- Commercial Items (Jan 1999)
(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose
offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors
considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: see below for specifics on each factor
Price ______________________________________
Past Performance_____________________________
Technical___________________________________
Technical and past performance, when combined, is _equal to price_ [Contracting Officer state, in
accordance with FAR 15.304, the relative importance of all other evaluation factors, when combined,
when compared to price.]
(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all
options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is
unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the
Government to exercise the option(s).
(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful
offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without
further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an
offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of
withdrawal is received before award.
(End of Provision)
Price
Proposals should be submitted initially on the most favorable terms the offeror can make to the
Government. The Government reserves the right to reject any or all offers or to make award without
conducting discussions. Award may not necessarily be made to the offeror submitting the lowest price.
Also, award may not necessarily be made for technical capabilities that appear to exceed those needed for
successful performance of the work.
1. The Government may reject any or all offers, make award to other than the lowest offer, and
waive minor informalities or irregularities in offers received. If necessary, the Government may
conduct discussions with any offeror;
2. The Government may issue a contract on the basis of offers as received without entering into
discussions with any offerors. Therefore, each initial offer should contain the offerors best terms;
3. This Request for Proposal does not commit the Government to pay any cost incurred in the
preparation of the submission of proposals;
4. Each offeror's price proposal will be evaluated for realism, completeness, and reasonableness.
Proposals shall be evaluated, for award purposes, based upon the total price proposed for basic
requirements. Unrealistically low or materially unbalanced offers, initially or subsequently, may
be rejected or eliminated from competition either on the basis that the offeror does not understand
the requirement or the offeror has made an unrealistic proposal.
