G-7 Contractor Performance Evaluation (s)

In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 42.15, FDA will complete annual and final contractor performance evaluations. Annual evaluations will be prepared to coincide with the anniversary date of the contract. Additional interim performance evaluations may be prepared at the CO’s discretion, as necessary. Final performance evaluations will be completed upon contract expiration.

11 of 401210198 http://oig.hhs.gov/fraud/

FDA will utilize the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) in order to execute annual and final contractor performance evaluations. CPARS is a secure Internet website located at https://www.cpars.gov/main/cparsmain.htm. FDA will register the contractor in CPARS upon receipt of the name and email address of two (2) individuals who will be responsible for serving as the Contractor’s primary and alternate CPARS contacts. Once FDA registers the contractor in CPARS, the Contractor will receive an automated CPARS email message which contains User IDs and instructions for creating a password.

Once a performance evaluation is issued, the Contractor’s primary and alternate CPARS contact will receive an email instructing them to logon to CPARS in order to review the performance evaluation. The Contractor has 14 calendar days from the date of performance evaluation issuance in which to review the evaluation. If the Contractor is in agreement with the performance evaluation outcome, the evaluation becomes final. Should the Contractor be in disagreement with the performance evaluation outcome, rebuttal comments must be submitted via the CPARS within 30 days from date the evaluation was issued by FDA. Any disagreement between the CO and the Contractor will be referred to a contracting official one level above the CO, whose decision will be final.

Copies of each performance evaluation and contractor responses, if any, will be retained as part of the official contract file and will be used to support future award decisions. Evaluations will also be stored for a 3 year period (6 years for construction) in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) at www.ppirs.gov.

Contractors may obtain CPARS training material and register for on-line training at https://www.cpars.gov/main/cparsmain.htm. There is no fee for registration or use of the CPARS system.

When required by the CO, the Contractor shall submit for approval the names and addresses of any firms to be employed as subcontractors by the prime Contractor or any subcontractors.

B. Copies of subcontracts. No Subcontractor shall be allowed to perform any work on the project site until the following conditions, in addition to those in Paragraph A. above, have been met by the Contractor:

1. A copy of the subcontract entered into on SF-1413 (Statement and Acknowledge), describing the work to be performed on the project site, has been furnished to the CO; and

2. The subcontract contains Paragraphs (b)(i) through (b)(ii) of Clause 52.222-26, Equal Opportunity.

(These requirements pertain to all subcontracts, no matter what tier of relationship they have to the prime Contractor, except that the Equal Opportunity Clause is not required to be included in subcontracts of $10,000 or less.)

C. Contractor's responsibility for a Subcontractor. The Contractor shall be responsible for the acts of all Subcontractors and their employees while performing work at the project site, regardless of the subcontractor’s contractual relationship to the Contractor. Failure of any Subcontractor to compete the work described in its subcontract in a satisfactory manner, or without delay, will not excuse the Contractor from any delay in the completion of the entire contract, except as provided under Clause 52.249-10, Default (Fixed-Price Construction) in Section I of this contract.

H-6 Required Insurance

The Clause 52.228-5, Insurance-Work on a Government Installation, in Part II, Section I, is supplemented to require the following minimum amount of insurance:

A. Worker's Compensation and Employer's Liability. Contractors are required to comply with applicable Federal and State workers' compensation and occupational disease statutes. If occupational diseases are not compensable under those statutes, they shall be covered under employer's liability section of the insurance policy, except when contract operations are so commingled with a Contractor's commercial operations that it would not be practical to require this coverage. Employer's liability coverage of at least $100,000 is required, except in States with exclusive or monopolistic funds that do not permit workers' compensation to be written by private carriers.

B. General liability. Bodily injury liability insurance coverage written on the comprehensive form of policy of at least $500,000 per occurrence is required.

C. Automobile liability. The Contractor shall provide automobile liability insurance written on the comprehensive form of policy. The policy shall provide for bodily injury and property damage liability covering the operation of all automobiles used in connection with performing the contract.

Policies covering automobiles operating in the United States, its possessions, and Puerto Rico shall provide coverage of at least $200,000 per person and $500,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and $20,000 per occurrence for property damage. The amount of liability coverage on other policies shall be commensurate with any legal requirements of the locality and sufficient to meet normal and customary claims.

H-7 General Conditions (Construction at Jefferson Labs Campus)

A. General

Contractors (including Subcontractors), their officials, employees, and all other persons visiting or conducting business at any Food and Drug Administration facility or construction site in connection with contract work shall conform to these requirements and those of Federal Management Regulation (FMR) 41 CFR 102-74.365-455, Conduct on Federal Property, as a condition of being permitted to enter on the property and as part of the contract. The Prime Contractor shall be responsible for the enforcement of these requirements by its Subcontractors.

Before work is started, the Contractor shall furnish to the CO and COR, the name of the principal responsible official for the contract plus at least one alternate, with their home addresses and phone numbers, who may be contacted in case of emergencies occurring outside the regular hours of work.

Similar information shall be furnished concerning all Subcontractors.

B. Hours to Work

The Contractor will be permitted to work on the job at the NCTR during the regular hours 6:00 a.m.

to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except for the following holidays (some are observed on preceding Friday or following Monday when they occur on Saturday or Sunday):

New Year’s Day Martin Luther King's Birthday President's Day (Washington/Lincoln's Birthday) Memorial Day Independence Day Labor Day Columbus Day Veterans' Day Thanksgiving Day Christmas Day

Work at any other time including holidays requires the contractor to request in advance and submit a schedule, in writing, to the COR. The COR shall then either approve or disapprove of the request.

In the event the FDA grants administrative leave to its Government employees at the site, on-site

18 of 401210198

Contractor personnel shall also be dismissed if the site is being closed. However, the Contractor shall continue to provide sufficient personnel to perform around-the-clock requirements of critical efforts already in progress or scheduled and shall be guided by the instructions issued by the Contracting Officer or her/his duly appointed representative. In each instance when the site is closed to Contractor personnel as a result of inclement weather, potentially hazardous conditions, explosions, or other special circumstances, the Contractor will direct its staff as necessary to take actions such as reporting to its own site(s) or taking appropriate leave consistent with its policies.

Observance of such days by Government personnel shall not be cause for an extension to the delivery schedule or period of performance or adjustment to the price, estimated cost, or fee(s), if any, except as set forth in the contract.

C. Non-Interruption of Government Activities

Interruption or interference with conduct of Government business in other building areas outside the contract area, or damage to existing equipment or property within the contract area, will not be permitted. To protect Government property and to isolate its work, the Contractor shall provide, at no additional expense to the Government, drop cloths, plastic film draping, taping, barriers, weatherproof closures and/or coverings, and temporary dust-proof enclosures and partitions, etc.

Temporary dust-proof enclosures and partitions shall be provided whenever demolition or construction operations will produce dust or dirt, which would be spread by tracking or air currents beyond the immediate area of work. Such enclosures shall be erected structurally sound, and shall be maintained dust proof so as to keep surrounding areas clean and free of dust. Where practical, dust-producing activities shall be kept dampened with water, so as to reduce the generation of dust.

Temporary dust-proof enclosures shall always be required to separate sterile or germ-free areas from the Contractor's work area. Materials shall be conveyed inside buildings using Contractor-provided equipment, in a manner that prevents damage to floors (i.e., by hand, using rubber tired vehicles, etc.). Use of FDA equipment is prohibited. The use of equipment, which produces substantial noise or vibration in buildings, such as pneumatic hammers, etc., must be coordinated in advance with the COR.

D. Utility Shutdowns

Contractors shall not cut, disconnect, switch, open, or alter position of valves, or otherwise interrupt any utility systems, piping systems, electric services, etc. without prior written approval of the COR. Shutdown of any utility service, which will affect service to any areas other than those in the contract area, must be requested in writing a minimum of fourteen (14) working days in advance, and required written confirmation/approval prior to service interruption.

E. Material Delivery, Storage Areas and Debris Removal

1. Material Delivery. Contractors shall arrange for the deliveries of supplies or materials and equipment to the work site or designated storage areas via previously approved routes. Wherever practicable, deliveries shall be made during the regular FDA working hours (unless prior approval is

19 of 401210198 obtained from the COR) and only when the Contractor's Authorized Representative is available to receive them.

2. Storage or Materials. The Government will make space available in FDA buildings or on FDA grounds for the storage of materials and equipment. The Contractor shall, as set forth in paragraph H.1 herein, be responsible for security of their property and material from theft and vandalism. Corridors and other public areas must be kept clear at all times.

3. Debris Removal. Removed materials, which are designated in the specifications or drawings as Contractor's property, or debris shall be promptly removed from the job site and the FDA facility.

Storage and/or collection of debris inside or outside buildings will not be permitted. Contractors shall remove all debris and other material with their own carts, containers, and/or refuse disposal facilities. Government facilities may not be used for this purpose. All interior areas of existing buildings shall be left clean on a daily basis. When debris must be removed from buildings outside normal FDA work hours, it must be scheduled for a designated time in advance (the same as for material deliveries). This shall be at the Contractor’s expense.

F. Safety and Accident Prevention

1. Contractors working at FDA facilities shall be responsible for compliance with all applicable safety regulations and standards issued under the provisions of the Williams/Steiger Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) and other applicable regulations issued by state, county, or local authorities. Any deviations from the OSHA regulations will require a variance from the OSHA authorities prior to initiating the change.

2. Contractors shall safeguard the work site and perform all operations in such manner as to insure that their employees, Government personnel, and others who may gain access to the site will not be endangered.

3. Contractors shall provide illuminated barricades, flags, warning signs, and lighting at excavations, open manholes, damaged roads, or walks, and any interior danger areas, other open or broken surfaces, resulting from the Contractor's operations. Similar barriers and warning devices shall be provided by the Contractor to limit access to hazardous work areas, such as pavement-breaking operations and overhead work that requires the use of cranes, ladders, or scaffolds.

4. Explosives shall not be brought on FDA property without permission from the COR and local Fire Department Officials. Contractors shall obtain a written permit for the use of explosives at least five (5) calendar days prior to the actual date of use. For blasting operations, the Contractor shall provide personnel, flags, signs, barricades, and other appropriate means of adequate warning.

5. Where work requires entrance into a room posted as a "Restricted Area," which might present danger to Contractor's personnel in the form of pathogenic, radioactive, or chemical agents, the Contractor shall request instruction from the COR as to required protective measures, and shall abide by such instructions.

6. The Prime Contractor shall be responsible for the enforcement of these safety rules by its

20 of 401210198

Subcontractors. Questions concerning safety shall be submitted to the COR for clarification by the Safety Office. The Safety Office has the authority at any time to enter a Contractor's construction site, in conjunction with the COR, after first contacting the Construction Foreman, for the purpose of conducting a safety survey.

7. A Contractor working on FDA Property is required to promptly report any accident suffered by its employees to the COR who will in turn notify the Safety Office.

They must be located within the Contractor's assigned area and are generally restricted to Contractor's assigned area and are generally restricted to large projects.

4. The installation of aboveground tanks for fueling the Contractor's equipment must be approved by the FDA COR and Safety Officer. Installation of underground tanks shall not be permitted.

5. Contractors shall not make connection to or use fire hydrants, standpipe risers, fire warning, or FDA fire alarm systems without prior approval of the COR. In the event of actual or anticipated emergencies, the Fire Department may discontinue the use by Contractors of water from fire hydrants or standpipe risers without advance notice.

6. Surges in water pressure frequently trip sprinkler alarm valves, and electric power switching surges affect the fire alarm system. Therefore, Contractors shall not open valves to new water lines or switch large electric loads on or off without prior notice to the FDA COR.

7. The Contractor shall obtain a Hazardous Work Permit from the FDA Safety Officer for any work involving heating, soldering, brazing, gas or electric welding, flame-cutting, tar kettles, salamanders, or other flame or heat-producing devices, both inside and outside buildings. The permit shall be conspicuously posted at the work site.

8. The Contractor shall provide fire extinguishers, fire blankets and fire watch personnel as required by the Hazardous Work Permit.

9. Accumulation of combustible waste materials and rubbish is prohibited. Such trash shall be removed promptly by the Contractor. Burning of waste material and rubbish is not permitted on the FDA Property.

Entering upon the property, or while on the property, under the influence of, or using, or possessing any narcotic drug is prohibited. Such prohibition shall not apply in cases where the drug has been prescribed by a physician. Entering upon the property, or being on the property, under the influence of alcoholic beverages is prohibited. All vehicles are subject to search.

I. Motor Vehicles and Parking Regulations

1. All persons driving motor vehicles on FDA Property in connection with Contractor business, including the driving of employees' personal vehicles, shall abide by the rules and regulations of this Clause and those of FMR 102-74.430, Vehicular and Pedestrian Traffic.
