The Sugarcane Field Station wants to maximize the height of the openings and the width of the openings; because this type roll up door is custom made for different applications, maximizing the dimensions should be possible. The minimum acceptable door heights and widths are as follows: West opening height 13’ 8”, width 16’ 6”, East opening height 12’, Width 16’ 6”. When the doors are closed the mechanical parts of the door and the door tracks will not be exposed or visible when viewed from the outside. To accomplish the concealment of these mechanisms the Contractor shall install paneling and trim pieces to achieve the desired look. The paneling and trim pieces will utilize the same type materials used for the exterior of the partition wall and the trim around the security door. The door shall have a manual chain fall opening system. The Contractor shall install a locking mechanism at the bottom corner of the doors.

9. ELECTRICAL. Building 10 is currently fed by a 100 Amp 208 Volt 3 Phase circuit. The expansion of the enclosed area of the building is due to the equipment that will be installed.

The Contractor shall replace the 100 Amp circuit breaker that feeds the building. The Circuit breaker is a 100 Amp Eaton model 35K 3 Phase breaker. The breaker is located in the tall stainless steel distribution cabinet at the northwest corner of Building 10. The breaker is labeled Building 10 Car Shed. The Breaker will be replaced with a 200 Amp Eaton model 35K 3 Phase breaker.

The Contractor shall install a 200 Amp 208 Volt 3 Phase NEMA 3R rated breaker panel on the plywood board located at the interior north wall of Building 10. The Nema 3R panel will have a minimum of 30 spaces and a main circuit breaker. The panel will be fed with a four-wire circuit consisting of 3 Phase conductors, 1 Neutral conductor and 1 ground conductor.

The conductors will be at a minimum 3/0 THHN copper wires. The conduit connecting the distribution panel and the building 10 circuit breaker panel will be 2 ½” Liquid-Tight Flex Metal Conduit. Flexible conduit has been chosen because the building and the distribution panel settle at different rates and rigid conduits have become misaligned and broken.

The Contractor shall install three 120 Volt 20 Amp lighting circuits in building 10. One lighting circuit will serve six LED round High Bay lighting fixtures located in the new enclosed room at the north end of the building. The LED High Bay fixtures shall be spaced to provide even lighting to whole floor area of the room. The lights will be controlled by a single pole switch located by the personnel door that will be in the new partition wall. The switch will be located on the interior side of the wall. The switch will be mounted opposite the hinge side of the door frame, 48” above the floor. The second lighting circuit will serve the lights under the open section of the building. The Contractor will use the two 4” LED fixtures salvaged during demolition. The 4’ LED fixtures will be mounted on the roof supporting “I” beam that runs east to west. The light fixtures will be equally spaced on the “I” beam. The LED fixtures will be controlled by a Photocontrol/photocell switch. The Photocontrol will turn the lights on at sunset and off at sunrise. The third lighting circuit will supply an LED flood light at the northwest corner of the building. Currently a HPS flood light is being used to light the grass parking area to the building’s northwest. The Contractor will supply a new LED flood light fixture. The LED floodlight fixture will be equivalent to a HPS flood light of 400 watts. The light fixture shall use a slip fitter/knuckle yoke/trunnion mount. The light fixture will be controlled by a Photocontrol/photocell switch. The fixture will be mounted on the same pole that the current HPS flood light uses. All lighting circuits will use #12 copper conductors. Conduit will be schedule 40 PVC. The Contractor shall ensure that the conduit is sized correctly for the number of conductors. Conduits will be secured to the buildings framing using steel conduit straps or conduit clamps. Conduits will be strapped or clamped no further than 12” from a joint or termination. All conduit straps and clamps shall be spaced no further than 3’ apart to minimize sagging and bowing.

The Contractor shall install four 120-volt 20-amp circuits for duplex convivence electrical outlets. Each circuit shall support four duplex outlets. The first circuit will be mounted on the interior of the north wall of the building. The outlets shall be equally spaced along the interior of the north wall. The second circuit of outlets will be mounted on the interior of the new partition wall. The third circuit will be attached to the exterior of the partition wall. The fourth circuit will be located on the inward facing part of the vertical “I” beams that support the open covered section of the south portion of the building. Each of the four circuits will be protected by 20-amp 120-volt circuit breakers.

10. PAINTING. The Contractor shall paint the following items: the exterior of both roll up doors, the plywood of the partition wall, and the inside and outside of the security door and frame.

The Contractor shall ensure that all paintable surfaces are clean and dry before painting. The Contractor shall apply a primer coat. The primer coat will be followed by two coats of paint.

The Contractor shall follow the paint manufactures directions and pay close attention to application rates and drying times. Paint shall be applied evenly with no runs or drips. All spills, splashes or overcoats shall be cleaned immediately before the paint has time to dry.

The Sugarcane Field Station will choose the color of the paint tint.

AGAR Clauses

452.203-71 Anti-Discrimination and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Compliance (Dec 2025)

(a) By entering into this contract, the contractor certifies that:

(1) It is compliant with all applicable Federal anti-discrimination laws and the Equal Protection principles of the U.S. Constitution, and it will remain compliant for the duration of the contract.

(2) Neither it nor any subcontractor or teaming partner operates or funds any program, policy, or initiative that promotes DEI in a manner that violates any applicable Federal anti-discrimination laws, including but not limited to Title VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, or the Equal Protection principles of the U.S. Constitution, and the contractor and any subcontractor or teaming partner will not do so for the duration of the contract.

(b) If the contractor participates in, facilitates, or funds programs that implicate Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, as amended, including but not limited to grants to or for schools, colleges, universities, 4-H programs, non-governmental organization (NGO) programs, sports programs, and education-related grants to prisons or other detention facilities, the contractor certifies that it will remain compliant with those laws, including the requirements set forth in Executive Order 14168, Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government, and Executive Order 14173, Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity.

(c) The contractor affirms that the above requirements are conditions of payment that go to the essence of the contract and are therefore material terms of the contract. Payments under the contract are predicated on compliance with the above requirements, and therefore the contractor is not eligible for funding under the contract or to retain any funding under the contract absent compliance with the above requirements.

(d) This certification reflects a change in the Government’s position regarding the materiality of the foregoing requirements and therefore any prior payment of similar claims does not reflect the materiality of the foregoing requirements to this contract.

(e) Submission of a knowing false statement relating to contractor’s compliance with the above requirements and/or eligibility for the contract may subject the contractor to liability under the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3729, and/or criminal liability, including under 18 U.S.C. §§ 287 and 1001.

(f) The contractor must include the provisions of this clause in all subcontract solicitations.

(g) Failure on the part of the contractor or its subcontractors to comply with the terms of this clause may be grounds for the Contracting Officer to terminate this contract for default.

(End of Clause)

AGAR 452.203-72 Unenforceable Supplier Terms (MAY 2026)

(a) Definitions.

Supplier terms mean provisions customarily drafted by vendors of supplies or services and intended to create a binding legal obligation on the end user. The term applies:

(1) Regardless of the format or style of the document. For example, supplier terms may appear in standard terms of sale or lease, Terms of Service (TOS), End User License Agreement (EULA), or another similar legal instrument or agreement, and may be presented as part of a proposal or quotation responding to a solicitation for a contract or order or otherwise become effective after the contract date.

(2) Regardless of the media or delivery mechanism used. For example, supplier terms may be presented as one or more paper documents or may appear on a computer or other electronic device screen during a purchase, software installation, other product delivery, registration for a service, or another transaction.

(b) Applicability. When any supply or service acquired under this contract is subject to supplier terms, the supplier terms are deemed part of the contract only to the extent they are consistent with this clause. Supplier terms that conflict with any part of this clause, the contract, or Federal law are void and will not be considered incorporated into a contract, even if they are physically present in a contract documentation or systems. In the event of any inconsistency between supplier terms and this contract, this clause and the terms of the Government contract must govern and supersede any supplier terms in all cases.

(c) Authorization Required. Notwithstanding any other provision, no supplier terms must be binding on the Government unless the term is expressly authorized on the USDA Supplier Terms Authorization Form signed by the Contracting Officer, and the completed Authorization Form has been incorporated into the contract.

(d) Unenforceable Terms. Any supplier terms that impose obligations or restrictions inconsistent with applicable Federal law are unenforceable against the Government and deemed stricken from the agreement. This includes, but is not limited to, any clause that:

(1) Requires the Government to pay future fees, penalties, interest, legal costs, early‑termination fees, cancellation fees, minimum purchase commitments, true‑up payments, seat‑count minimums, usage minimums, continued‑use charges, or any other financial obligation not expressly authorized by the contract.

(2) Requires the Government to indemnify the contractor or any other entity.

(3) Restricts the Government’s ability to obtain similar supplies or services from another source.

(4) Imposes any penalty, financial or otherwise, based on the Government’s decision not to exercise an option.

(5) Subjects the United States Government to the laws of any U.S. state, territory, district, municipality, or foreign nation, except where Federal law expressly permits such application.

(6) Requires dispute resolution in a forum or venue other than one prescribed by applicable Federal law.

(7) Establishes a period of limitations for bringing an action that differs from that provided by applicable Federal law.

(8) Grants the contractor rights to use, mine, access, aggregate, analyze, or otherwise exploit Government data, usage data, or metadata.

(9) Deems the Government to have accepted initial or revised terms based on silence, continued performance, or failure to object.

(10) Grants the supplier the right to audit Government facilities, systems, records, or use of the product or service, except as expressly authorized by the contract and applicable Federal law.

(11) Requires the Government to accept supplier security requirements, network access requirements, monitoring, penetration testing, or other technical or security measures.

(12) Permits the supplier to suspend, degrade, or terminate access to products or services based on alleged non‑payment, alleged breach, automated security triggers.

(13) Limits the Government’s right to use, install, access, test, evaluate, or transfer the licensed product or service in any manner consistent with the contract and Federal law.

(14) Requires the Government to store, process, maintain, or transmit data in a particular geographic location, or permits the supplier to transfer Government data outside the United States, except as expressly authorized by applicable Federal law.

(15) Authorizes the supplier to use the Government’s name, seal, trademark, logo, or any reference to the Government as an end user or customer for marketing, publicity, promotional activities, press releases, or similar purposes.

(16) Incorporates by reference, or requires the Government to accept, terms or conditions imposed by any third party, subcontractor, or upstream service provider, unless such terms are expressly incorporated into the contract by bilateral modification.

(17) Limits, conditions, or negates the contractor’s performance obligations, service levels, or remedies through a supplier‑provided service level agreement (SLA).

(18) Uses Government data, usage data, metadata, prompts, content, or interactions to train, fine‑tune, improve, or derive any artificial intelligence, machine learning, or automated decision‑making model.

(19) Subjects the Government to automated decision‑making, automated risk scoring, automated content moderation, or any algorithmic process that may affect access, performance, or rights under the contract.

(20) Utilizes artificial intelligence or algorithmic tools that produce decisions, recommendations, or outputs affecting contract performance without providing transparency, explainability, auditability, and bias‑mitigation consistent with applicable Federal law and policy.

(21) Profiles, tracks, or analyzes Government user behavior, preferences, communications, or interactions for personalization, marketing, or algorithmic optimization purposes.

(e) Non-binding Actions. Neither the Government nor any Government authorized end user is deemed to have consented to any term, condition, or clause by virtue of its inclusion in the supplier agreement or through the use of clickwrap, browsewrap, “I agree” mechanisms, or similar means.

Execution of such mechanisms does not bind the Government or its authorized end users to any unenforceable terms.

(f) End user. The supplier agreement must bind the ordering activity as the end user to the extent it does not conflict with the terms of this clause, but it must not bind or impose personal liability on any Government employee or any person acting on behalf of the Government in their personal capacity.

(g) Law and disputes. The supplier agreement is governed by Federal law.

(h) Statutory exception. This clause does not apply to indemnification or any other payment by the Government that is expressly authorized by statute and specifically authorized under applicable agency regulations and procedures.

(i) Continued performance. The supplier or licensor must not unilaterally revoke, terminate, or suspend any rights granted to the Government except as allowed by the contract. If the supplier or licensor believes the ordering activity to be in breach of the supplier agreement, it must pursue its rights under the Contract Disputes Act or other applicable Federal statute while proceeding diligently with performance, pending final resolution of any dispute in accordance with the Disputes Clause at FAR 52.212‑4(d) or FAR 52.233‑1, as applicable.

(j) Arbitration. Binding arbitration must not be used unless specifically authorized by agency guidance.

(k) Equitable or injunctive relief. Equitable or injunctive relief, including the award of attorney fees, costs, or interest, may be awarded against the United States Government only when explicitly provided by statute (e.g., the Prompt Payment Act or the Equal Access to Justice Act).

(l) Revisions to supplier agreements. Any revisions to the supplier agreement must be incorporated into the contract using a bilateral modification. Unilateral revisions are not binding on the Government.

(m) No automatic renewals. If any license or service tied to periodic payment is provided under the supplier agreement (e.g., annual software maintenance or annual lease term), such license or service must not renew automatically upon expiration of its current term without prior express written consent from an authorized Government representative.

(n) Indemnification. Any clause of the supplier agreement requiring the supplier or licensor to defend or indemnify the end user is amended to provide that the U.S. Department of Justice has the sole right to represent the United States in any such action, in accordance with 28 U.S.C. 516.

(o) Taxes or surcharges. Any taxes or surcharges which the supplier or licensor seeks to pass along to the Government as end user will be governed by the terms of the associated Government contract or order and must be submitted to the Contracting Officer for a determination of applicability prior to invoicing unless specifically agreed otherwise.

(p) Non‑assignment. The supplier agreement may not be assigned, nor may any rights or obligations thereunder be delegated, without the Government’s prior approval, except as expressly permitted by FAR 52.212-4(b) or FAR 52.232-23, as applicable.

(q) Confidential information. If the supplier agreement includes a confidentiality clause, such clause is amended to state that neither the agreement nor the contract price list, as applicable, must be deemed “confidential information.” Issues regarding release of “unit pricing” will be resolved consistent with the Freedom of Information Act. Notwithstanding anything in the supplier agreement to the contrary, the Government may retain any confidential information as required by law, regulation, or its internal document retention procedures for legal, regulatory, or compliance purposes; provided, however, that all such retained confidential information will continue to be subject to the confidentiality obligations of the supplier agreement.

(r) Conflict with Federal law. If any other language, provision, or clause of the supplier agreement conflicts or is inconsistent with Federal law or the terms and conditions of this contract, such language, provisions, or clauses will be considered null and void and will not be binding on the United States Government.

(End of Clause)

452.204–70 Modification for Contract Closeout (Apr 2026)
