New Contract. Question 3. It states in the POWS that quote mark The contractor shall provide all labor, supplies, equipment, and necessary materials to perform all operations in connection with providing geographical information system digital imaging service quote mark. What is this? I assume it is a typo or cut and paste error? Answer 3. The bid schedule should read quote mark The contractor shall provide all labor, supplies, equipment, and necessary materials to perform all operations in connection with providing pesticide specialist services. Question 4: Will the contractor be supplying all the bait, bait boxes, pesticides and termiticides if so how do we quantify the amount needed? What if there is an infestation? Who covers the cost? Answer 4. Government provides types of materials required to perform the task except as indentified in paragraphs C.4 and C.5 of the Performance Work Statement (PWS). 5. Question 5.

This requirement is for a Pesticide Specialist to possess the skills, knowledge and training to satisfactorily perform the services required by this contract (See Paragraph C.5). Question 6. Is the contractor just providing the trained specialist and the government providing the materials? Answer 6.See answers above in Paragraphs 4 and 5. Also, see paragraphs C.3 through C.6 for worked to be provided by the Government versus work and tasks to be provided by the contractor. Question7. Is this project the Service Contract Act or if it is Davis Bacon? Answer 7. It is neither. The Service Contract Act of 1965 does not apply as it was enacted to ensure that Government contractors compensate their blue-collar service workers and some white-collar service workers fairly, but it does not cover bona fide executive, administrative, or professional employees.
