This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format stated in the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Subpart 12.6. The National Park Service (NPS) contemplates award of a firm fixed price contract to the offeror providing the best value to the Government. The proposed contract is set-aside for small businesses under NAICS codes 562111, 562112, & 562119. The contractor's CCR record shall reflect that it is a small business. For more information on small business size standards, please visit www.SBA.gov/sizestandards. The bid close date is January 31st by 3:00 pm Arizona time. The anticipated award date is February 10, 2012. Please contact Kimberley Robinson with any questions via email at KimberleyRobinson@nps.gov. STATEMENT OF WORK The requirement is to provide dumpsters & pickup/disposal service for solid waste, which includes picking up & properly disposing of approximately 48 cubic yards of solid waste per week from a total of six (6) locations in the developed area at Grand Canyon National Park, NORTH RIM. The entrance to the Grand Canyon National Park North Rim is located 30 miles south of Jacob Lake on Highway 67. Jacob Lake, AZ is located in northern Arizona on Highway 89A, not far from the Utah border. You may research the North Rim further at www.NPS.gov/grca. Four (4) locations are in the Campground, one (1) is across the parking lot from the administrative building & one (1) is near the generator building. These locations are within two (2) miles of each other. The current vendor uses eight, six (6) cubic yard capacity dumpsters & picks them up once a week. The dumpsters must be small enough so that a person standing on the ground can place a bag of trash into them. The solid waste is generated by National Park Service employees & park visitors. The concession operation on the North Rim disposes of their waste. The Contractor shall supply & maintain all dumpsters. All dumpsters must remain fully operational for the duration of the contract. The dumpsters must be prominently labeled 'NO HOT ASHES' on three (3) sides. The dumpsters must have the name & phone number of the vendor displayed clearly in plain sight. All other standard safety messages for dumpsters located in residential areas must be displayed. Pick up will be at least once a week from May 15 through the first week of November. The day or days of the week are up to the vendor; however, it must be consistent from week to week. There will be one (1) pick up after the road is opened (after winter snow removal) & before May 15, & two pickups after the first week of November. The dates for these will be determined by the NPS & called into the vendor at least two (2) days in advance for needed pick up. These three (3) pickups may all be in one location, since the NPS consolidates the dumpsters to one (1) or two (2) sites for the winter. The solid waste must be disposed of in a state approved landfill. The Contractor shall inform the NPS as to which landfill will be used at the time of award & also at the start of any option years. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE The period of performance is 04/01/2012 to 03/31/2013, with the possibility of up to four (4) one-year optional renewal periods (1 April 2013 - 31 March 2014; 1 April 2014 - 31 March 2015, etc.). The NPS has the right to not exercise these renewal periods, & the NPS shall notify the vendor at least 30 days in advance of the decision.

Minimum employer contributions costing an average of $3.59 per hour computed on the basis of all hours worked by service employees employed on the contract. << VACATION >> Two weeks paid vacation after 1 year of service with a contractor or successor; 3 weeks after 5 years, & 4 weeks after 15 years. Length of service includes the whole span of continuous service with the present contractor or successor, wherever employed, & with the predecessor contractors in the performance of similar work at the same Federal facility. (Reg. 29 CFR 4.173) << HOLIDAYS >> A minimum of ten paid holidays per year, New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr's Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving Day, & Christmas Day. (A contractor may substitute for any of the named holidays another day off with pay in accordance with a plan communicated to the employees involved.) (See 29 CFR 4174) THE OCCUPATIONS WHICH HAVE NUMBERED FOOTNOTES IN PARENTHESES RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING:1) COMPUTER EMPLOYEES: Under the SCA at section 8(b), this wage determination does not apply to any employee who individually qualifies as a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional employee as defined in 29 C.F.R. Part 541. Because most Computer System Analysts & Computer Programmers who are compensated at a rate not less than $27.63 (or on a salary or fee basis at a rate not less than $455 per week) an hour would likely qualify as exempt computer professionals, (29 C.F.R. 541.400) wage rates may not be listed on this wage determination for all occupations within those job families. In addition, because this wage determination may not list a wage rate for some or all occupations within those job families if the survey data indicates that the prevailing wage rate for the occupation equals or exceeds $27.63 per hour conformances may be necessary for certain nonexempt employees. For example, if an individual employee is nonexempt but nevertheless performs duties within the scope of one of the Computer Systems Analyst or Computer Programmer occupations for which this wage determination does not specify an SCA wage rate, then the wage rate for that employee must be conformed in accordance with the conformance procedures described in the conformance note included on this wage determination. Additionally, because job titles vary widely & change quickly in the computer industry, job titles are not determinative of the application of the computer professional exemption. Therefore, the exemption applies only to computer employees who satisfy the compensation requirements & whose primary duty consists of: (1) The application of systems analysis techniques & procedures, including consulting with users, to determine hardware, software or system functional specifications; (2) The design, development, documentation, analysis, creation, testing or modification of computer systems or programs, including prototypes, based on & related to user or system design specifications; (3) The design, documentation, testing, creation or modification of computer programs related to machine operating systems; or (4) A combination of the aforementioned duties, the performance of which requires the same level of skills. (29 C.F.R. 541.400). HAZARDOUS PAY DIFFERENTIAL: An 8 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position that represents a high degree of hazard when working with or in close proximity to ordinance, explosives, & incendiary materials. This includes work such as screening, blending, dying, mixing, & pressing of sensitive ordnance, explosives, & pyrotechnic compositions such as lead azide, black powder & photoflash powder. All dry-house activities involving propellants or explosives. Demilitarization, modification, renovation, demolition, & maintenance operations on sensitive ordnance, explosives & incendiary materials. All operations involving regrading & cleaning of artillery ranges. A 4 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position that represents a low degree of hazard when working with, or in close proximity to ordnance, (or employees possibly adjacent to) explosives & incendiary materials which involves potential injury such as laceration of hands, face, or arms of the employee engaged in the operations irritation of the skin, minor burns & the like; minimal damage to immediate or adjacent work area or equipment being used. All operations involving, unloading, storage, & hauling of ordnance, explosive, & incendiary ordnance material other than small arms ammunition. These differentials are only applicable to work that has been specifically designated by the agency for ordnance, explosives, & incendiary material differential pay. ** UNIFORM ALLOWANCE ** If employees are required to wear uniforms in the performance of this contract (either by the terms of the Government contract, by the employer, by the state or local law, etc.), the cost of furnishing such uniforms & maintaining (by laundering or dry cleaning) such uniforms is an expense that may not be borne by an employee where such cost reduces the hourly rate below that required by the wage determination. The DOL will accept payment in accordance with the following standards as compliance: The contractor or subcontractor is required to furnish all employees with an adequate number of uniforms without cost or to reimburse employees for the actual cost of the uniforms. In addition, where uniform cleaning/maintenance is the responsibility of the employee, all contractors & subcontractors subject to this wage determination shall (in the absence of a bona fide collective bargaining agreement providing for a different amount, or the furnishing of contrary affirmative proof as to the actual cost), reimburse all employees for such cleaning & maintenance at a rate of $3.35 per week (or $.67 cents per day). However in those instances where the uniforms furnished are made of 'wash and wear' materials, may be routinely washed and dried with other personal garments, & do not require any special treatment such as dry cleaning, daily washing, or commercial laundering in order to meet the cleanliness or appearance standards set by the terms of the Government contract, by the contractor, by law, or by the nature of the work, there is no requirement that employees be reimbursed for uniform maintenance costs. The duties of employees under job titles listed are those described in the 'Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations', Fifth Edition, April 2006, unless otherwise indicated. Copies of the Directory are available on the Internet. A links to the Directory may be found on the WHD home page at http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd or through the Wage Determinations On-Line (WDOL) Web site at http://wdol.gov. Conformance Process: The contracting officer shall require that any class of service employee which is not listed herein and which is to be employed under the contract (i.e., the work to be performed is not performed by any classification listed in the wage determination), be classified by the contractor so as to provide a reasonable relationship (i.e., appropriate level of skill comparison) between such unlisted classifications and the classifications listed in the wage determination. Such conformed classes of employees shall be paid the monetary wages and furnished the fringe benefits as are determined. Such conforming process shall be initiated by the contractor prior to the performance of contract work by such unlisted class(es) of employees. The conformed classification, wage rate, and/or fringe benefits shall be retroactive to the commencement date of the contract. {See Section 4.6 (C)(vi)} When multiple wage determinations are included in a contract, a separate SF 1444 should be prepared for each wage determination to which a class(es) is to be conformed. |||| END OF SERVICE CONTRACT ACT WAGE DETERMINATION 2005-2024 |||| CLAUSES & PROVISIONS This solicitation document & incorporated provisions & clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-53.
