- Description
- This is the Justification & Approval document for the award of contract FA5000-13-D-0004 for packing and crating services. The contractor will furnish all personnel, equipment, facilities, supplies, services and materials, except as specified herein as government-furnished, for the preparation of personal property of Department of Defense personnel for shipment and/or storage and related services through the Direct Procurement Method (DPM). Work to be performed will be those services in the Schedules awarded to the contractor as outlined in individual Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) items. Task/Type of Move Matrix, showing which tasks normally apply to each type of move. Specific requirements for each task are described below. If specific instructions or requirements are not provided, commercial standards of services and best business practices are acceptable. 1. Premove Survey. The contractor will determine the nature of personal property offered for shipment either by physical inspection or telephone survey with the member/employee. The survey will be conducted at a time and date mutually agreed upon between the contractor and the member/employee. Any pack/pickup date changes will be coordinated with the ordering officer. 2. Weighing. a. The gross, tare, and net weight of all shipments will be determined through the use of scales properly certified by a state inspector of weights and measures in accordance with IAW the regulations of the state or district having legal jurisdiction over the scales. Personnel designated to operate the scales will be licensed or otherwise qualified as weigh masters if required by the state, commonwealth, or district. When a metric scale is utilized, the contractor will use 1 kilogram per 2.2 pounds for conversion. b. The contractor will submit weight tickets, reflecting gross, tare, and net weight, in duplicate, properly certified IAW federal, state, and commonwealth or district regulations to the ordering officer with documentation (Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) 0002). c. When scales are not available or their use is not practical, the application of a constructive weight of seven pounds per cubic foot will be used provided prior written approval is obtained from the ordering officer. See Paragraph A.2.d for constructive weight of professional books, papers, and equipment (PBP&E, also known as PRO or PRO-Gear). d. When PBP&E are included as part of the shipment, the weight of each item individually described on the inventory will be entered on the same line of the inventory next to the description. The total weight of such articles will be annotated separately on the inventory and packing list. The PBP&E weight may be obtained using bathroom or platform type scales. If it is not possible or practical for the contractor to weigh the items at the time of packing and pickup, and there is no cube indicated on the inventory, a constructive weight of 40 pounds per cubic foot will be used for PBP&E. e. The weight tickets will contain the name and address of the weighing station, the date, name of contractor, van or trailer number, name of member/employee, call number assigned by the ordering officer, and signature of the weigh master. f. For inbound personal property, the contractor will bill on the origin net weights obtained from the Personal Property Government Bill of Lading/Bill of Lading (PPGBL/BL) or other movement document and need not submit a weight certificate, unless a reweigh is ordered. When a reweigh is ordered, the contractor will bill on the reweigh weight. g. If the PPGBL/BL, movement document, or container does not reflect the net weight for inbound shipments or if the PPGBL/BL is unavailable at the destination, the contractor will bill on the origin gross weights obtained from the PPGBL/BL, or other available sources, such as containers or supporting documentation. The contractor is required to use all means available (containers, supporting documentation) to obtain a net weight prior to submitting the bill. If the bill is submitted on the origin gross weight, the contractor is paid for the gross weight based on the net weight bid price. h. The contractor will perform reweigh services when ordered. The reweigh will normally be requested at the time the delivery order is placed and will be performed IAW instructions set forth in Paragraph A.2.a. When so advised by the ordering officer, a designated representative of the ordering officer or the member/employee will be permitted to accompany, in a separate conveyance, the contractor to witness the reweigh. This would be at no extra charge and the contractor would not provide the separate conveyance. i. When a reweigh is ordered, the contractor will furnish the ordering officer weight tickets in duplicate within seven workdays of completion of the service. j. When the weighing of a shipment at origin is witnessed by the Personal Property Shipping Office (PPSO), the back of all copies of the weight ticket will be annotated with the statement “weight observed” and verified by the signature of the PPSO. The number 7 copy of the PPGBL/BL (property received copy) will be similarly annotated prior to mailing to the destination PPSO. When computer generated PPGBL/BLs are used, the copy going to the destination PPSO will be annotated. k. Billing Procedures. For Continental United States (CONUS) activities, to include Hawaii and Alaska, shipments are payable on the basis of 100-pound minimum weight for unaccompanied baggage (UB) and a 500-pound minimum weight for household goods (HHG), net or gross weight, as indicated in the bid item. For overseas activities, excluding Hawaii and Alaska, shipments are payable on the actual net weight shipped. l. Actual pieces, weight, and cube of UB shipments will be provided to the Transportation Office (TO)/PPSO prior to the issuance of the PPGBL/BL. 3. Time Requirements. a. The ordering officer will normally give the contractor notice to commence services ordered herein at least one full workday prior to the date specified. Oral orders will be confirmed in writing within two workdays following order acceptance by the contractor. The contractor will be available to receive orders between the hours 0800 and 1700. Upon request, the contractor will provide information as to whether the service will be performed between the hours of 0800 to 1200 hours or between the hours of 1200 to 1700 hours, based upon the best information available. 4. Preparation, Packing, Loading, and Containerization. a. Personal property will be prepared, packed, loaded, and containerized for all types of shipments destined for the CONUS or Outside CONUS (OCONUS). It is the contractor’s responsibility to coordinate with the ordering officer container size and configuration for each mode of shipment prior to packing containers. b. The contractor will perform all preparation and packing in a manner requiring the least cubic measurement, producing packages that withstand normal movement without damage to the container or contents and at a minimum of weight. All shipments will be protected from the elements (rain, snow or sun) and theft at all times. 5. Tagging, Inventorying, and Packing List. The contractor, in coordination with the member/employee, will prepare an accurate, legible, HHG/UB descriptive inventory similar to Figure G1-1, Household Goods Descriptive Inventory. The contractor will count and examine all goods tendered for shipments, receipt for them, and make written exception for any goods not in apparent good order. All tagging will be accomplished prior to the removal of goods from the residence. 6. Appliance Servicing and Unservicing. The contractor will service and unservice appliances IAW manufacturer’s specifications. If third party servicing or unservicing is required and approved by the ordering officer, the contractor will bill the services as prescribed in Paragraph A.4.b.(1). 7. Containers and Vehicles a.
