Our Goal with DEB Contracts “Establish optional use contracts with qualified vendors to provide services in support of construction and facilities operations for state agencies, institutions of higher learning and all public bodies. Through this process we reduce the procurement time required for these services and place them in the hands of the end user for immediate use.”

Background of Contracts Important • We have already competed the requirements using the Request for Proposal process • We have evaluated each proposal received • We have checked references • We have checked on the Small, Women or Minority Business status • We have worked through eVA requirements • We negotiated prices
The contractors listed on the contract are good to go!!! • VPPA followed!!!
How to Implement a Purchase The Public Body should select the classification of services that best defines the needs. The Public Body should select from the Contractors as noted. It is recommended, but not required, that resumes of staff be provided by the contractor in regard to non testing services. The Contractor selected for personnel staffing has ten (10) days to provide the Public Body a resume of the person/persons to be assigned. The Public Body reserves the right to accept or reject the person/persons to be assigned.
How to Implement a Purchase • Project Manager Level 1 and 2 – first selection should be from any contractor with an hourly rate of $100 or less per man hour. If none of these can meet your need then go to the rest of the pool. • Project Inspector Level 1 and 2, Clerk of the Works – first selection should be from any contractor with an hourly rate of $80 or less per man hour. If none of these can meet your need then go to the rest of the pool. • Space Planner, Interior Designer, Move Management – first selection should be from any contractor with an hourly rate of $75 or less per man hour. If none of these can meet your need then go to the rest of the pool. • Cost Estimator and Scheduler – first selection should be from any contractor with an hourly rate of $100 or less per man hour. If none of these can meet your need then go to the rest of the pool. • No selection rules apply on the testing, environmental, commissioning, testing and balancing, CAD operators, signage designers, landscape designers and Certified Value Specialists.
How to Implement a Purchase • The Public Body will allow for printing of specifications, drawings, minutes, and other documentation as reimbursable expenses at the invoice costs. • The Public Body will consider reimbursable for lodging and meals if approved in advance by the Public Body and included in the written work order. Costs shall be in accordance with the Commonwealth of Virginia CAPP Manual. • The Contractor shall provide personnel from the areas closest to where the work is required. The Commonwealth does not reimburse its employees who may travel more than an hour one way to work; therefore the Commonwealth will not pay a Contractor for their employees.
How to Implement a Purchase Contractors need to do the following on their cost proposals: • Define the category of services as listed on the contract • Estimate number of hours, tests, services, etc. • Provide the contract rate times the services provided • Lump sum for reimbursable expense • Description of what is in the lump sum WHEN YOU DO NOT PROVIDE THIS FORMAT, THE PURCHASE DOES NOT GET DONE!!!
How to Implement a Purchase OVERTIME – If the work is after 40 hours worked in a standard work week, then overtime occurs. The Fair Labor Standards Act applies to overtime rates. The maximum that can be charged is 1.5 times the contract rate for personal services. The public body shall approve overtime in advance of it being earned. THERE IS NO OVERTIME ON PROCESSING OF TESTING SAMPLES
How to Implement a Purchase • If you use eVA, issue a purchase order in eVA. • Otherwise use your standard purchase order format.
Going to Work Under the Contract The public body has a responsibility to assure the contractor complies with your needs. The contractor has a responsibility to provide qualified personnel and quality services.
