 H.10  NONDISPLACEMENT OF QUALIFIED WORKERS

     (a)  Consistent with the efficient performance of this contract, the contractor and its subcontractors shall, except as otherwise provided herein, in good faith offer those employees (other than managerial and supervisory employees) employed under the predecessor contract whose employment will be terminated as a result of award of this contract or the expiration of the contract under which the employees were hired, a right of first refusal of employment under this contract in positions for which employees are qualified.  The contractor and its subcontractors shall determine the number of employees necessary for efficient performance of this contract and may elect to employ fewer employees than the predecessor contractor employed in connection with performance of the work.  Except as provided in paragraph (b) there shall be no employment opening under this contract, and the contractor and any subcontractors shall not offer employment under this contract, to any person prior to having complied fully with this obligation.  The contractor and its subcontractors shall make an express offer of employment to each employee as provided herein and shall state the time within which the employee must accept such offer, but in no case shall the period within which the employee must accept the offer of employment be less than 10 days.

     (b)  Notwithstanding the obligation under paragraph (a) above, the contractor and any subcontractors (1) may employ under this contract any employee who has worked for the contractor or subcontractor for at least 3 months immediately preceding the commencement of this contract and who would otherwise face lay-off or discharge, (2) are not required to offer a right of first refusal to any employee(s) of the predecessor contractor who are not service employees within the meaning of the Service Contract Act of 1965, as amended, 41 U.S.C. 357(b), and (3) are not required to offer a right of first refusal to any employee(s) of the predecessor contractor whom the contractor or any of its subcontractors reasonably believes, based on the particular employee's past performance, has failed to perform suitably on the job.

     (c)  In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 52.222–41(n), the contractor shall, not less than 10 days before completion of this contract, furnish the Contracting Officer a certified list of the names of all service employees working under this contract and its subcontracts during the last month of contract performance.  The list shall also contain anniversary dates of employment of each service employee under this contract and its predecessor contracts either with the current or predecessor contractors or their subcontractors.  The Contracting Officer will provide the list to the successor contractor, and the list shall be provided on request to employees or their representatives.

     (d)  If it is determined, pursuant to regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor (Secretary), that the contractor or its subcontractors are not in compliance with the requirements of this clause or any regulation or order of the Secretary, appropriate sanctions may be imposed and remedies invoked against the contractor or its subcontractors, as provided in Executive Order (No.) 13495, Nondisplacement of Qualified Workers Under Service Contracts (January 30, 2009), the regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary, or as otherwise provided by law.

(e)	 In every subcontract entered into in order to perform services under this contract, the contractor will include provisions that ensure that each subcontractor will honor the requirements of paragraphs (a) through (b) with respect to the employees of a predecessor subcontractor or subcontractors working under this contract, as well as of a predecessor contractor and its subcontractors.  The subcontract shall also include provisions to ensure that the subcontractor will provide the contractor with the information about the employees of the subcontractor needed by the contractor to comply with paragraph 5(c), above.  The contractor will take such action with respect to any such subcontract as may be directed by the Secretary as a means of enforcing such provisions, including the imposition of sanctions for non-compliance:  provided, however, that if the contractor, as a result of such direction, becomes involved in litigation with a subcontractor, or is threatened with such involvement, the contractor may request that the United States enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States.

For this list, include the contract name, contract number, brief description and points of contacts with their phone numbers.  Asterisk contracts you consider relevant to this solicitation.  

(4) Provide a list of any contract(s) terminated within the past five years for other than convenience of the government. If none, so state. 

(5) Provide references on relevant contracts, active and underway for a minimum of 12 months or completed within the last three years.  The government will focus on information that demonstrates quality of performance relative to the size and complexity of the procurement and customer satisfaction.  For each reference provide a brief description of the scope of the contract and state why the contract is considered relevant.  Offerors should identify any cost savings or efficiencies achieved as well as problems, weaknesses and/or deficiencies in the performance of the contracts given as references.  The processes, corrective actions or method of problem resolution used to correct the weaknesses or deficiencies should be discussed.  

List of references shall only include the Offeror’s prime contracts to perform all facilities operations, maintenance, and repair services in buildings.  

The MIRSC facility includes 158,753 square feet of mainframe computer room space and  741,380  square feet of office space with building populations of 2,700 personnel on a single building campus.  Relevant experience shall encompass operations, maintenance, construction and alterations, and repair services for facilities with similar size and complexity of equipment.  

(a) For each reference provide the following information about each contract:
 (i)     Name and address of contracting activity to which service is/was  provided  (government or commercial entity)
 (ii)    Contract number
 (iii)   Contract title
 (iv)   Contract type (fixed-price; labor-hour; time-and-materials; cost     reimbursement)

(ii)	Size of building (s) 
(iii)	Amount of mainframe computer room space maintained
(iv)	Population of facility
(v)	Hours of facility operations
(vi)	Number of full-time and part-time on-site personnel provided daily 
(vii)	Indentify large repair and construction and alteration projects completed with a cost of more than $100,000

b.   Offerors should send letters to their references and points of contact cited above authorizing the government to obtain past and present performance information and indicate in the proposal that the letters have been sent.  

c.   The offeror shall provide copies of Attachment 2, "Past Performance Questionnaire" to its references to complete and return directly to the Contracting Officer. The government desires receipt of completed questionnaires from at least four references, preferably for relevant contracts.  However, if four references are not available, offeror should consider other references that could provide evaluation of offeror's work that is similar in nature.  The questionnaires should be returned directly to the IRS Contracting Officer by the closing date of the solicitation (refer to block 9 of the Standard Form 33, Solicitation, Offer, and Award).   Although the provision for receipt of late proposals will not be applied to receipt of the Questionnaire, receipt by the IRS Contracting Officer after the closing date may result in the Questionnaire being omitted from consideration in the evaluation of offeror’s past performance.  

d.  Failure to provide the information requested by this section may adversely affect the performance confidence assessment by the government.  Offerors are reminded that both independently obtained data and data provided by offerors in their proposal may be used to assess offeror's past performance.  It is the offeror's responsibility to validate reference contact information, including telephone numbers and addresses for points of contact.
