D -- ADP DATA ENTRY AND CONVERSION SERVICES SOL 95-A-01. DUE 060295. POC Paul T. Ahern, Contract Specialist 312/751-7130. The U.S. Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) intends to acquire, by Invitation for Bid (IFB), data entry and magnetic key/disk/tape conversion services for a period beginning September 1, 1995 and not to exceed three years. The contractor would receive source documents from the RRB on a job-by-job basis for conversion of selected data to magnetic tape. The contractor would be required to pick up the source documents from the RRB headquarters in Chicago, IL. The contractor would also be required to produce machine readable records in accordance with keying instructions furnished by the RRB, and deliver the source documents and resulting magnetic records back to the RRB headquarters in Chicago, IL within twenty-four (24) hours of the contractor having picked up the original source documents. An accuracy rate of 100% is required as determined by the RRB's quality control surveillance plan. The contracting officer has requested wage determinations for the following possible places of performance - Chicago, IL and Janesville, WI. The contracting officer shall request wage determinations for additonal possible places of performance upon receipt of written requests from prospective bidders. Such requests for wage determinations must be received by the contracting officer at the RRB's headquarters in Chicago, IL before 10:00 a.m. local time on April 3, 1995 to be considered timely. However, the late receipt of a prospective bidder's request for a wage determination for an additional place of performance does not preclude the prospective bidder from submitting a bid for the proposed acquisition of data conversion services. The IFB opening date shall be on or about June 2, 1995. The proposed contract action is 100% set-aside for small business concerns. See Note 1. (055)
