This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued other than what is contained in this posting. This requirement is for the distribution and display of BEP tour brochures for the Fort Worth Texas Visitor Center facility. The solicitation is issued as request for quotation (RFQ) BEP-RFQ-14-0412 and incorporates the provisions and clauses that are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-72. The requirements is to distribute and display BEP tour brochures for the Fort Worth BEP visitor center in high-traffic, tourist-oriented locations including hotels, motels, car rental offices, visitor center locations, airports, chambers of commerce, restaurants, etc. in the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area, located within an estimated 70-mile radius of the BEP Tour and Visitor Center. See attachments for complete description of the requirements, line items, applicable clauses, and evaluation criteria. The Service Contract Act pertains to this requirement. Businesses shall review DOL wage determinations and provide the applicable wage determination number. This wage determination will be included as an attachment in the award. Also, the contractor shall define the labor categories that will be used on this award by identifying the Wage Determination number, the occupation code and title of the labor categories to be used on the calls. The Department of Labor (DOL) website to review wage determinations is http://www.wdol.gov/sca.aspx. The applicable wage determination for the Washington D.C. area is WD 2005-2103 Rev 13 or WD 2005-2104 Rev 15. The applicable wage determination for the Fort Worth, TX area is WD 2005-2513 Rev 13 or WD 2005-2514 Rev 15. The contractor shall use the correct wage determination based on the application of fringe benefits. For explanation of the difference between the even and odd numbered wage determinations, the following FAQ is provided from the DOL website. "#15. Why are there two standard area SCA WDs (an odd-numbered one and an even-numbered one) for each locality? Why does the WDOL process question - "were these services previously performed under an SCA wage determination that ends in an even-number"? Department of Labor issues two wages determinations that are identical except for the fringe benefit requirements. One of them (the even-numbered one) requires the contract to have a fringe benefit plan requiring compliance on an "average cost" basis. This even-numbered WD allows the contractor to comply with the wage determine based on the average cost of their fringe benefit plan when calculated on the entire service employee workforce based upon total hours worked (including overtime hours, but excluding paid time off such as holiday and vacation) by all employees. The other one (the odd-numbered one) requires the contractor to satisfy the fringe benefit requirements on a "per employee" basis and compliance must be calculated using all hours paid (including paid time off, but excluding overtime hours). The contractor must meet the minimum fringe benefit requirement for each individual employee and is not allowed to average there fringe benefit cost over the entire workforce. A more detailed history and explanation of these two fringe benefit methodologies can be found at the www.wdol.gov library by reviewing Department of Labor's All Agency Memoranda #188 and #197. If under the previous contract period, the "average cost" WD was used, DOL rules require its continued use under 29 CFR 4.52."
