At the close of each work period, Government facilities, equipment, and materials shall be secured.

Any violations by contractor employees will be submitted to the Contracting Officer for mediation. In the performance of this contract, the Contractor shall take such safety precautions as necessary to protect the lives and health of occupants of the building. The Contractor shall comply with the Federal, State, and Local safety and fire regulations and codes. Contract employees shall smoke only in designated areas outside of the building. The Contractor shall be responsible for providing all applicable training and protective equipment to protect contract employees from any hazards, including blood borne pathogens that may be encountered in the performance of the contract. 1.5.5.2 PRIVACY: All VA sensitive information that is contained in paper records under the jurisdiction of VA shall be handled by the most secure, economical, and effective means in accordance with legal requirements. PII is the most common form of sensitive information handled at the VAMC and therefore requires the use of extraordinary procedures for its protection. PII that is not properly disposed of can result in actual or potential identity theft and can cause great personal hardship to the subject individuals. It is imperative that the appropriate means of destruction be used for all VA temporary paper records. VA s preference is for a method of destruction that permits paper records to be recycled, while still meeting the requirements for final destruction. 1.5.5.3 INTERIM DESTRCTION: Interim destruction on temporary paper records refers to macerating, chopping, pulverizing, or shredding of these records to a degree that does not definitely ensure that they are not readable or re-constructible to any degree, but does ensure that they are not readable or re-constructible without extraordinary effort. This destruction of temporary records is a preliminary step that will allow for secure transport of records until such time as their final destruction. The interim destruction of records is proper for ensuring their security when transportation is necessary for final destruction. Interim destruction of these records must take place at the Veterans Administration (VA) facility or at a secured vendor location; and this destruction must be to the degree that the information contained on them is not readable or re-constructible without extraordinary effort. If interim destruction is not carried out by VA employees, it must be carried out by a National Association for Information Destruction (NAID) certified, bonded, and insured contractor who has contracted to provide sufficient reasonable safeguards to protect the records until final destruction has been completed. Methods of interim destruction carried out by a contractor must be witnessed by a Federal employee or, if authorized by the organization that created the records, a contractor employee may act as witness, and the written attestation shall be submitted to the organization that created the records. The contractor employee may be the vendor performing the interim destruction as long as a certification of destruction is provided by the VA. 1.5.5.4. FINAL DESTRUCTION: The process through which temporary paper records are pulped, macerated, or shredded to a degree that definitively ensures that they are not readable or re-constructible to any degree. If this final destruction is performed away from a VA facility it must be performed, where practicable, by a National Association for Information Destruction (NAID) certified, bonded, and insured recycler or papermill, and any intermediary processes must protect the records until final destruction is completed. However, if the records require special protection because they are national security classified or deemed confidential by statue such as the Privacy Act of 1974, and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPPA), regulation, or VA policy, the wastepaper contractor shall be required to wet pulp, macerate, chop, shred, or otherwise definitively destroy the information contained in the records so that it is not readable or re-constructible. The destruction of the information must be witnessed either by a Federal employee, or if authorized by the organization that created the records, by a contractor employee. This witnessing may be completed by the wastepaper contractor as long as documented certification of destruction is provided by the VA that certifies complete destruction of the records. 1.5.5.5. CERTIFICATION OF DESTRUCTION: Written documentation by a records destruction or recycling contractor or vendor that attests to the completion of the destruction process after the destruction of VA records has taken place. This certification is not considered a valid certification of destruction if submitted prior to the actual destruction of the records. Certifications of destruction shall be maintained in accordance with applicable VA Records Control Schedules and shall only be accepted from data destruction or recycle vendors after final destruction has actually taken place. VA personnel responsible for the final destruction of temporary records will develop a tracking method for ensuring that a certification of destruction is submitted for every shipment of such records released to data destruction or recycling vendor.

The Government does not anticipate requesting revisions to quotes, so Quoter s should provide their best quote in the response to this solicitation. However, the Government reserves the right to request quote revisions that seek additional price discounts, provide revisions to the technical and or prices aspects of the quote, or to clarify aspects of the quote. In the event quote revisions are requested, the Government will not necessarily be seeking revisions from all Quoter s. The Government will not be conducting ""discussions"" as defined in FAR Part 15. Prospective Contractors are required to submit two separate evaluation documents in addition to all other documents required by this solicitation. If the parts are not submitted as separate documents, the quote will be considered non-responsive.
