'check-out' the asset and assume responsibility for the asset temporarily since the asset cannot be temporarily insured by the contractor

- is not permissible. Allowing contractors to use Government motorized vehicles on an intermittent basis creates an issue because the

e) Revise Section F: Clause titled

"Unscheduled Closures - Labor Hour" b) as follows: b) If the contractor opts to treat these nonproductive hours as paid leave, these hours are considered an allowable cost under the contract. The total number of hours charged on such days may not exceed the number scheduled for affected employees and may not include overtime hours;

All other terms and conditions remain the same.
