The District reserves the right to determine which responses meet the requirements of this solicitation, and which bidders are responsive and responsible. The District reserves the right before awarding the bid, to require a bidder to submit such evidence of their qualifications as it may deem necessary, and may consider any evidence available to it of the financial, technical and other qualifications and abilities of a bidder to perform the work in a satisfactory manner and within the time specified. The bidder is assumed to be familiar with all federal, state or local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations that in any manner affect the work, and to abide thereby if awarded the bid. Ignorance of legal requirements on the part of the bidder will in no way relieve responsibility. Failure to include in whole or in part any one of the required documents may be grounds for rejection of the bid as non-responsive. 1.12 BID TABULATIONS AND NOTICE OF AWARD.

The Contractor must utilize the U.S. Department of Homeland Security s Employment Verification (E-Verify) Program to verify the employment eligibility of Contractor employees performing work directly associated with the Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions applicable to the E-Verify Program.

ATTACHMENT 5 (Cont.) July 12, 2013 COMMERCIAL CLEANING SERVICES, GS-42 5 FOREWORD Edition. This version is Edition 2.1 from July 12, 2013 and replaces the Second Edition from October 14, 2011. This revision includes substantive changes. General. The final issued standard was developed in an open and transparent process with stakeholder input that included producers, users, and general interests. The requirements in the standard are based on an assessment of the environmental, health, or social impacts associated with the products, services, or organizations covered in the scope of the standard. These requirements are subject to revision, and generally cover aspects above and beyond regulatory compliance. This standard neither modifies nor supersedes laws and regulations. Any conformity assessment to this standard requires compliance with all applicable laws and regulations for the manufacturing and marketing of the cleaning service. Provisions for safety have not been included in this standard, since they are supervised by regulatory agencies. Adequate safeguards should be employed for all for personnel and property, and for all tests that involve safety considerations. Products, services, or organizations that are substantially similar to those covered by this standard in terms of function and life cycle considerations may be evaluated against the intent of the requirements of this standard, accounting for relevant differences between the intended scope of the Standard and the actual product, service, or organization to be evaluated. This standard may not anticipate a feature of the product that may significantly, and undesirably, increase its impact on the environment, health, or society. In such a situation, Green Seal will ordinarily amend a standard to account for the unanticipated environmental, health, or societal impacts. Normative references (e.g., other standards) in this standard intend to refer to the most recent edition of the normative reference. Test methods may be required for product evaluation. Unless explicitly stated that a specified method is the only acceptable one, the intent of the standard is that an equivalent test method may be accepted at Green Seal s sole discretion. Certification to this standard shall be awarded only by Green Seal, or, with Green Seal s explicit written permission, by a third-party certification program conducting on-site audits. Disclaimer of Liability. Green Seal, as the developer of this standard, shall not incur any obligations or liability for any loss or damages, including, without limitation, indirect, consequential, special, or incidental damages, arising out of or in connection with the interpretation or adoption of, reliance upon, or any other use of this Standard by any party. Green Seal makes no express or implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, nor any other express or implied warranty with respect to this Standard.

In addition, a Building-specific Green Cleaning Plan must be developed in accordance with Section 2.2 for every building to be cleaned under green cleaning standards per agreement with client. SOPs shall be reviewed for possible revisions on an annual basis. 2.2 Building-Specific Green Cleaning Plan.
