(4) Have, have not, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been notified of any delinquent Federal taxes in an amount that exceeds $3,500 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 appeal 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 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.

(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;

theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, making false statements, tax evasion, violating Federal criminal tax laws, or receiving stolen property,
(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
$3,500 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 appeal 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 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 solicitation that are included in the List of Products Requiring Contractor Certification as to Forced or Indentured Child Labor, unless excluded at 22.1503(b).)

(1) [ ] Maintenance, calibration, or repair of certain equipment as described in FAR 22.1003-4(c)(1). The offeror does does not certify that-

Offerors may include the following documentation as a part of an Offer if desired.
Worker's Compensation Insurance: The Contractor shall provide evidence of Worker's Compensation Insurance or a written explanation as to why the Contractor is exempt from the requirement. NOTE: The Contractor working alone is not required to carry the insurance.
Conservation of Utilities and Building Security:
Upon completion of the work at each site the contractor personnel shall ensure that (unless otherwise instructed by the Contracting Officer or COR) all lights are off, all wall windows and entrance doors are locked and the alarm system armed. If the building is occupied by the Government after normal working hours, Contractor's personnel shall notify the Government personnel of their departure and leave the exterior doors locked. The Contractor shall not disturb papers on desks, or bulletin boards, open drawers or cabinets, or use telephones or any office equipment provided for official Government use, except for emergency calls to the Contracting Officer, police or fire department. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to secure the building upon completion of work and close and lock entry gates.
Keys/Keycards:
The Contractor will establish and implement methods to ensure that all keys/ keycards issued by the Government are kept secure in the Contractor's possession are not used by unauthorized persons. No keys/ keycards issued by the Government are to be duplicated. It is the Contractor's responsibility to ensure any security access codes are secured in the contractor's possession and not to be used by unauthorized persons.
A. The Contractor will be required to reimburse the Government for replacement of locks or re-keying as a result of Contractor loss of keys. In the event a master key is lost or duplicated, the Government will replace all locks and keys for that system and the total cost will be deducted from the monthly payment due the Contractor.

B. The Contractor will report the occurrence of a lost key/ keycard to the Contracting Officer no later than the next duty day.
C. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to prohibit the use of keys/ keycards issued by the Government to any person other than the Contractor's employees. It is also the responsibility of the Contractor's employees to prohibit the opening of locked areas by Contractor's employees to permit entrance of persons other than Contractor's employees engaged in the performance of assigned work in those areas.
Lost and Found Property:
The Contractor shall ensure all articles of possible personal or monetary value found by the Contractor's employees are turned into the COR or the Contracting Officer.
Subcontracting:
The Government reserves the right to approve or disapprove any subcontractors selected. Therefore, the Contractor shall obtain approval from the Contracting Officer for all subcontractors prior to entering into any subcontracts for the performance of work under this contract. The Contractor's request for approval shall be in writing and include the specific work to be accomplished by the subcontractor.
The subcontractor shall have the experience and be equipped for such work. Subcontracting any portion of the contract shall not relieve the Prime Contractor of any responsibility under this contract. Any subcontract agreement shall contain all terms and conditions of the prime contract. The Government will document, in writing, those instances where the supervisor or subcontractor have not responded to calls or are not available tomeet.
Safety:
The Contractor shall be responsible for instructing company employees in appropriate safety measures and providing hazard communication training including the appropriate handling of chemicals. The Contractor shall provide, place, and remove appropriate warning signs for wet or slippery floor areas caused by cleaning or waxing applications. Cloths, mops or brushes containing a residue of wax or other combustible material subject to spontaneous ignition shall not be stored inside the building.

Cleaning supplies, including solutions and solvents, both liquid and powders must be stored in designated areas that are locked and under the Contractor's control. They must be stored in secure areas after every cleaning day.
Smoking Restrictions:
There are no public areas designated as smoking areas. Therefore, there is no space for the Contractor or his/her employees to smoke.
Circumstances to Be Reported:
The Contractor or the Contractor's employees shall report to the Contracting Officer or COR any circumstances of needed repairs of the facility or unusual soiling of an area that may affect the performance of the work and unhealthy or hazardous conditions. The Contractor or the Contractor's employees will report any vandalism, attempted break-ins, or signs of attempted break-ins.
Communication Procedures:
While a line of communication is always open to the CO, most communication is directed to the COR. Contracting Officers and CORs are available via phone, email or direct communication. Formal requests, reports and invoices must be submitted in writing. Communication by email is a good practice for the purposes of documentation. At times communication will occur as meetings between the Contractor and the Government.
The Contractor shall ensure that the building presents an overall appearance of cleanliness. The front lobby is a highly visible area and will need to meet higher expectations. The Contractor shall provide sufficient supplies, materials and equipment to adequately maintain the premises at an acceptable level of cleaning that is consistent
Covelo Ranger Station Janitorial Contract Documents
with comparable industry standards for this type of contract. The definition of clean is for all areas, objects and surfaces to be free of dirt, water streaks, gum, grease, tar, or any other extraneous matter in order to present an overall appearance of cleanliness. Performance will be based on the Contractor's success in meeting the performance and quality standards, not the method of performance.
The contractor service requirements are summarized into performance objectives that relate directly to the essential services provided. The stated performance thresholds are the minimum acceptable levels of service for each stated requirement. All aspects of the contractor performance are subject to Government surveillance, and absence of any contract requirements from the Performance Objectives identified below will not detract from the enforceability, nor limit the rights or remedies of the Government under other contract clauses.

Covelo Ranger Station Janitorial Contract Documents
a. Direct the Contractor to perform the work contractually specified over a number of immediately subsequent day(s) equal to the duration of the shutdown, or
b. Forego the work and reduce payment due to the Contractor for work not performed. The deduction rate in dollars per day shall be equal to the per-month fixed price divided by number of service days for that month and then multiplied by the number of days services were not provided. Appropriate adjustments will be made by the CO in the event services are provided for portions of days, or
c. Reschedule the work on day(s) satisfactory to both parties.
Any situation requiring cleaning services beyond those normally encountered in routine cleaning work will be considered "emergency". Situations requiring emergency cleaning will be referred to the Contracting Officer or COR prior to commencing work. If the Contracting Officer determines that the situation requires extra effort on the part of the Contractor, equitable reimbursement will be provided to the Contractor for the level of effort over and above that normally required, (e.g. fire or flood damage, construction work, etc.). Residue from relocating furniture or litter left from meetings or routine gatherings are not considered emergency cleaning.
Prior to commencement of work, a pre-work meeting shall be arranged between the Contractor and the Contracting Officer to discuss the contract terms and work performance requirements. At this time, the Contracting officer will designate a Contracting Officer Representative (COR) and the Contractor shall designate, in writing, the name and phone number of the Contractor's on-site representative/ supervisor and their responsibilities.
At any time during contract performance, a meeting may be requested by the Government or the Contractor and may be scheduled at a time and place agreeable to both parties. The purpose of the meeting shall be to address any issues preventing or endangering the successful completion of the contract requirements and to identify methods of improvement.
The Contractor shall establish a complete, written Quality Control Program (QCP) to ensure the requirements of the contract are met as specified in the guidelines. The Contractor's QCP shall be incorporated into this contract after acceptance by the Government. The QCP need not be elaborate, but shall address in writing at least the following information:
1. A checklist or plan for inspection of the services provided throughout the building that addresses all contract performance areas and ensures compliance with contract terms. It is not required to provide separate personnel for performing janitorial services and for inspection, but in the case a single person is proposed for both tasks, the QCP must explain how that person intends to ensure compliance with contract standards. If separate persons are proposed, they shall be named and their designated tasks identified.
2. A system to record inspection results and any corrective actions taken, and to ensure that the Contractor's employees or subcontractors are notified of any deficiencies in their area of responsibility if applicable. If the Contractor intends to utilize subcontractor(s) or employee(s) as the primary janitor(s) under this contract, the QCP must explain how the Contractor intends to ensure that the janitor(s) is/ are properly trained for the work and how they will be re-trained or replaced if necessary to correct continued or severe performance deficiencies communicated by the Government. Provide a time frame (such as a number of days) by which the Government can anticipate improved services after communicating a
Covelo Ranger Station Janitorial Contract Documents
significant service deficiency. For minor deficiencies, performance improvement results are anticipated on the following day routine services are performed.
3. A description of actions the Contractor shall take in the event that the primary janitor(s) become unavailable to provide janitorial services for an extended period of time (longer than two consecutive routine service days).
4. A plan to ensure that all issued keys, access cards or identification items are not lost, misplaced, or used by unauthorized persons.
5. A list of the equipment proposed or available for this project that meets solicitation requirements.
The Contractor shall maintain a file of all inspections conducted by the Contractor and the corrective actions taken. This documentation is considered to be a part of the Contractor's Quality Control Program, but does not need to be made available for review unless requested by the Government.
The Government will visually inspect the Contractor's performance on a random basis shortly after the scheduled cleaning time or after receipt of complaint from building employee(s) under this contract to ensure compliance with contract guidelines. The COR will record inspection observations, deficiencies will be documented with a written inspection report provided to the Contractor. When unacceptable performance is observed, the COR will meet with the Contractor's supervisor to review the inspection report and ensure that the Contractor has an understanding of the unacceptable services. The preferred method to resolve deficiencies is to allow re-performance to correct the deficiencies. The Contractor shall be provided with the opportunity to correct substandard performance within one business day or other timeframe as determined by the COR. When substandard performance is not corrected within the specified timeframe or the Contractor refuses to re-perform the service, the unsatisfactory service is logged as a deficiency. Deductions from payment may result from deficient services.
Payment will be made in arrears for janitorial services that have been satisfactorily provided. Payment will be made by Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) to the bank account designated in the Contractor's SAM Entity at www.sam.gov. A SAM Entity of any status other than Active may delay payment processing.
The Contractor shall submit an invoice monthly or at another frequency as agreed between the COR and the Contractor. Use of the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP) at www.ipp.gov is required for all invoices under this contract. The Contractor shall also submit the completed inspection checklist for the invoiced time period from the approved Quality Control Plan. The Contractor may attach this checklist to the invoice in IPP (recommended) or may email, fax, or otherwise deliver the checklist to the COR. The Government will review the performance as compared to contract standards, the Quality Assurance Plan and the Performance Objectives. Monthly payments to the Contractor will be reduced for logged deficiencies, as described in the Inspection clause. Deductions for deficiencies shall be calculated at 1/30th of the unit price for each day the Contractor fails to correct the deficiency.
The Contractor shall provide and utilize expendable (chemical or material) products in the performance of this contract, to which Biobased Program requirements regarding the procurement and reporting of such products apply. See FAR Clause 52.223-2 and www.biopreferred.gov.

This section is provided as a courtesy to repeat submission requirements described elsewhere in the contract. Any omission of a requirement in this section does not exempt the Contractor from responsibility to respond to the requirement.

• The Contractor shall complete Biobased Program Reporting for any Biobased Products provided by the Contractor in the performance of contract requirements.
• The Contractor shall provide the documentation described in the Insurance Requirement section of this contract.
• The Contractor shall alert the Contracting Officer in writing of intent to utilize a subcontractor for work under this contract, prior to entering into any subcontract arrangement.

The Government intends to award a firm fixed price contract resulting from this solicitation to the single responsible quoter whose technical response and price quote are believed to offer the most advantageous combination to the Government. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes and, when combined, technical criteria are approximately equal to price.
Covelo Ranger Station Janitorial Contract Documents
Understanding of the Requirement
Per FAR Clause 52.237-1, site visitation is urged and expected so that quoters understand the level of effort required to meet contract requirements before providing a quote. To respond to this factor, quoters shall describe their familiarity with the site and understanding of the level of effort required, and shall clearly indicate whether they visited the site or obtained information about the site through other means (and, if the latter, what other means were used.)
Relevant Experience
Relevant Experience is the measure of a quoter's experience providing the same or similar services as those desired for this solicitation. Most importantly, this refers to the relevant experience of the person(s) proposed to perform routine and periodic on-site janitorial service tasks. Secondarily, it refers to the relevant experience of the Contractor in performing supervisory and administrative services as the supervisor, employer or prime contractor for a janitorial contract. To respond to this factor, describe:
1. The relevant experience of the proposed janitorial service provider(s), and
2. The relevant experience of the Contractor in a supervisory contract role separate from performance of on-site janitorial services, if applicable.
3. If a quoter intends to perform as both service provider and supervisor, the quote should so state. Responses which do not name the specific person(s) to perform janitorial and supervisory services and which fail to list relevant experience for that person/ those persons may receive a lower technical score, or be considered unsatisfactory, due to an inability to evaluate. Quoters may propose the same person for both janitorial services and supervision, but should so state.
Past Performance
Past Performance is a measure of the degree to which a quoter has satisfied its customers, complied with contract terms and conditions in addition to applicable laws and regulations. The Government may contact references to evaluate a quoter's past performance record, but is not limited to the references given. The Government may gather information regarding, among other items, the quality of services, customer satisfaction, and business relations. To respond to this factor, provide:
1. A list of up to three references (from past contracts, past employment or other projects) for whom the quoter has performed services. Provide the reference name and company/ agency name if applicable, a contact phone number, and a brief description of the services performed (what, where, when).
2. Quoters may combine Relevant Experience and Past Performance by listing references for whom they have performed the specific services described in the factor above.
3. Quoters without past performance references will still be considered and will receive a "Neutral" past performance rating if no information is otherwise available. A quoter with no past performance shall so state and explain why (i.e. ‘new to contracting', etc.) or else the response may be considered unsatisfactory.
Quality Control Program: As part of the quote, submit a written Quality Control Program (QCP) designed to ensure contract requirements are met. A complete QCP will address all of the required components described in the Contractor's Quality Control Program section of the solicitation/ contract.
Price: Fill out and return the SF 1449. Boxes 17a, 23, 24, and 30 (a, b, and c) are required. Box 12 is optional. Price evaluation shall be based on the price of the base and all options combined. Evaluation and award of options does not obligate the Government to exercise the options. The Government will evaluate price to determine reasonability.
NOTE: Optional Response Forms are provided as a part of this solicitation. Offerors shall submit sufficient information for the Contracting Officer to evaluate the Offeror's qualifications in accordance
Covelo Ranger Station Janitorial Contract Documents
with evaluation criteria listed above. Offerors are
