The period of performance is 270 calendar days from the notice to proceed for each site.

The contractor is required to provide a single on-site point of contact and must adhere to strict subcontractor management protocols, including a 24-hour remediation timeline for government-identified deficiencies. Compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act and the Copeland Anti-Kickback Act is mandatory, with specific wage determinations provided for the various states of performance. Technical quotes must be submitted in PDF format via the FedConnect portal, not exceeding 12 pages, and must include three qualifying completed projects to meet experience requirements. Payment will be processed monthly in arrears through the Invoice Processing Platform System, contingent upon physical site inspections and signed Milestone Completion Verification forms.
