The NFC Statement of Work will assure consistent performance and be result-orientated. The selected contractor will provide hotel room accommodations in accordance with all terms and conditions set forth in the contract. 2.0 BACKGROUND Although this need applies to all potential disasters, it is anticipated that the primary reason for utilizing hotel rooms will be a hurricane-related. Hurricane season runs from June 1 through November 30. In the event of the possibility of a hurricane impacting the New Orleans area, the NFC, which is a 24x7 operations command center, will require housing in a safe location that is away from the current hurricane and potential hurricane hazards and dangers. At least 96 hours prior to landfall of a hurricane, an advance team will be deployed to this area to set up the NFC Command Center. At 48 hours prior to landfall, a decision will be made whether or not to expand the operation, with the possibility of additional personnel arriving. If a storm similar to Hurricane Katrina impacts the New Orleans area, it will require that NFC remain in the safe location for an undetermined amount of time, due to the inability to return to normal operations in the New Orleans area. 3.0 SCOPE 3.1 Period of Performance The contract period of performance is for one year with four one-year option periods. The services will be required on an as-needed basis. The base and option periods are as follows: Base Year September 25, 2006 through May 31, 2007 Option Year 1: June 1, 2007 through May 31, 2008 Option Year 2: June 1, 2008 through May 31, 2009 Option Year 3: June 1, 2009 through May 31, 2010 Option Year 4: June 1, 2010 through May 31, 2011 3.2 Quantities The NFC anticipates the need for 30 hotel rooms and 30 parking spaces. These numbers may increase or decrease slightly depending on NFC?s needs. The total contract minimum guarantee is $5,000. If the NFC does not occupy hotel rooms during the life of the contract, the minimum guarantee of $5,000 will be paid to the contractor. If, during the life of the contract, the NFC occupies the contractor?s hotel rooms, the amount paid to the contractor for those rooms will be applied toward the $5,000 minimum guarantee. The contract will remain in place until May 31, 2011, if the Government decides to exercise the option periods. 3.3 Quality Assurance The contractor?s proposal should include a quality control plan for ensuring an acceptable level of quality of the hotel rooms and housekeeping services. 4.0 APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS The contractor shall comply with all applicable federal, state, local, and municipal laws, regulations, and requirements (including the Hotel and Motel Fire Safety Act of 1990 (PL101-391)), and all industry standards/references as necessary for the services required herein. 5.0 TECHINCAL REQUIREMENTS The hotel accommodations for NFC?s Command Center employees must be located within a 45-mile driving distance of 3727 Government Street, Alexandria, Louisiana.
