Is it standard for contractors to ask supervisors for their resume before bidding.

It looks like they really simplified the performance monitoring template in section J of the link to the solicitation at the start of this thread.

Yes it's standard for the contractors to ask the SWOs for resumes. Some want copies of your certificate too.

Is it standard for contractors to ask supervisors for their resume before bidding. In reading the SIR, it's required that supervisor resumes and observer certificates be included in proposals. If a company asks for your resume for their proposal and you fail to provide it could be viewed as your first right of refusal.

If a company asks for your resume for their proposal and you fail to provide it could be viewed as your first right of refusal. Here's the Executive Order regarding right of first refusal. Notice that sups are not really protected (last sentence). So just my opinion that sups would be wise to provide their resumes if asked unless they have good reason not too. But not doing so definitely comes with risk. Not totally sure, but non sups seems to be fully protected and the new SIR does not require non sup resumes be submitted. Executive Order 13495 In 2009, President Obama signed Executive Order 13495, which revoked Executive Order 13204, signed by President Bush in 2001. Bush's Executive Order rescinded Executive Order 12933, signed by President Clinton, which first established the displaced worker's right to first employment provisions. Executive Order 13495 is similar to the Clinton-era order, but is broader in the types of service contracts covered. Executive Order 13495 pertains to certain contracts and subcontracts awarded under the Service Contract Act of 1965. Right of First Refusal The right of first refusal requires that businesses awarded contracts covered by the Executive Order, whose contracts or subcontracts succeed a contract for the same or similar services, in the same location as the prior contract, first offer jobs to those employed under the previous contract, who would otherwise lose their jobs as a result of the change in contractors. The successor contractor and subcontractor cannot post job openings for this new contract until the right of first refusal has been provided to all eligible employees under the predecessor contract. This right does not apply to managerial and supervisory employees.

PATCO CBAs require new contracts to hire the old contractor employees, SWOs included. This is where CBAs shine. Send in those resumes & certificates... so they know who you are.

Kcfan and others, SWOs are not really SWOs (Supervisory Weather Observers) at Union sites in that they are actually Lead Observers. They are not considered management in any way, which technically also means they should not hire, fire, discipline, or recommend. That's up to the company to take care of. So, "SWOs" are protected under Executive Order 13495 and the Right of First Refusal. No doubt about it.
As for SWOs sending in their resumes at the request of companies they don't currently work for.....let's just say the FAA had told me years ago that the bidding contractors have all the info they need from the FAA (supposedly) and should not need or be bothering people at CWO sites directly. Having said that, I suppose it's up to the person in how paranoid they are and the fact that they wouldn't be an SWO already if they weren't qualified to be an SWO (this last sentence is just given in my opinion).

I doubt the FAA collected and distributed all the resumes and NWS certs to all the prospective contractors. The info wasn't included in the SIR. They also would have had to request all this prior to the SIR hitting the streets, were any of the sups called by the FAA to provide this info? That will answer that question. And if not, which is my suspicion, a person would be wise to provide it if requested by a contractor, otherwise they have just relinquished their first right of refusal. Just my opinion.

I'm hoping it's not Vero. I don't know if anyone's worse than Vero. They regularly fail to pay on time.
Who are the best vendors? Hoping we get one of those again.

kcfan. For first right of refusal to be an issue to begin with, a company must win the contracts in order to be able to make the offer of employment. It appears that you need the resumes to satisfy the requirements to win. So how does one win without getting the resumes? The short answer is that they don’t.
