The work of this project shall consist of providing all labor, supplies, materials and equipment for the manufacture of eight (8) all-metal No. 1 field artillery cannon carriages for long-term outdoor display of historic cannon tubes at Shiloh National Military Park. These all-metal display carriages shall conform in all respects with specifications listed in The Ordnance Manual For The Use Of The Officers of The United States Army (1861) and be dimensionally correct to original design unless otherwise stated in the following scope of work:

1. The contractor shall cast the carriage from ¿ductile iron¿ with a casting strength of 65,000 pounds tensile.

2. Only ductile iron, steel, or brass components and parts will be used on the carriage. The wheels shall be cast solid; while the cheeks of the carriages shall fit into the axle like the original period carriages.

3. No makers, manufacturers, vendors or contractors, etc. stamps, medallions, markings, or engravings shall be placed or affixed to the carriage.

4. The contractor shall ensure the carriage is ground and sanded so that no seams from the casting method are present on any component or part of the carriage.

5. Carriages will be painted with a 5 mill thickness rust inhibitive paint and two coats of alkyd oil base enamel in olive drab (representing what would have been wood components) and gloss black paint (on parts which would have been iron on original gun carriages).

6. The finished carriage shall be capable of supporting the weight and size of the specific tubes they are designed for.

7. No substitution of materials and/or design shall be made without the prior approval of the contracting officer.

8. The government (United States National Park Service) shall have up to seven days to perform a final inspection upon delivery of the carriage to the site (Shiloh National Military Park, Tennessee). The contractor agrees the carriage shall be returned at the contractor¿s expense if not meeting specifications, and the purchase agreement shall be cancelled.

9. The contractor shall warrant all parts and labor for a period of two years from the date of acceptance of delivery of the carriage. The contractor shall replace without cost to the government any part of the carriage which fails due to manufacturing or material defect during the warranty period. All costs of transportation of the carriage for repair covered by the warranty will be at the expense of the contractor.

52.246-16 Responsibility for Supplies. (APR 1984)

(a) Title to supplies furnished under this contract shall pass to the Government upon formal acceptance, regardless of when or where the Government takes physical possession, unless the contract specifically provides for earlier passage of title.

(b) Unless the contract specifically provides otherwise, risk of loss of or damage to supplies shall remain with the Contractor until, and shall pass to the Government upon -

(1) Delivery of the supplies to a carrier, if transportation is f.o.b. origin; or

(2) Acceptance by the Government or delivery of the supplies to the Government at the destination specified in the contract, whichever is later, if transportation is f.o.b.

destination.

(c) Paragraph (b) above shall not apply to supplies that so fail to conform to contract requirements as to give a right of rejection. The risk of loss of or damage to such nonconforming supplies remains with the Contractor until cure or acceptance. After cure or acceptance, paragraph (b) above shall apply.

(d) Under paragraph (b) above, the Contractor shall not be liable for loss of or damage to supplies caused by the negligence of officers, agents, or employees of the Government acting within the scope of their employment.

F - Deliveries or Performance

52.211-8 Time of Delivery. (JUN 1997)

(a) The Government requires delivery to be made according to the following schedule:

Required Delivery Schedule

(Contracting Officer insert specific details)

Item No. Quantity Within Days After Date of Contract

00010 8 390

[Item No.] [Quantity] [Within Days After Date of Contract ]

[Item No.] [Quantity] [Within Days After Date of Contract ]

The Government will evaluate equally, as regards time of delivery, offers that propose delivery of each quantity within the applicable delivery period specified above. Offers that propose delivery that will not clearly fall within the applicable required delivery period specified above, will be considered nonresponsive and rejected. The Government reserves the right to award under either the required delivery schedule or the proposed delivery schedule, when an offeror offers an earlier delivery schedule than required above. If the offeror proposes no other delivery schedule, the required delivery schedule above will apply.

Offeror's Proposed Delivery Schedule

Item No. Quantity Within Days After Date of Contract

(b) Attention is directed to the Contract Award provision of the solicitation that provides that a written award or acceptance of offer mailed, or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror, results in a binding contract. The Government will mail or otherwise furnish to the offeror an award or notice of award not later than the day award is dated. Therefore, the offeror should compute the time available for performance beginning with the actual date of award, rather than the date the written notice of award is received from the Contracting Officer through the ordinary mails. However, the Government will evaluate an offer that proposes delivery based on the Contractor's date of receipt of the contract or notice of award by adding (1) five calendar days for delivery of the award through the ordinary mails, or (2) one working day if the solicitation states that the contract or notice of award will be transmitted electronically. (The term working day excludes weekends and U.S. Federal holidays.) If, as so computed, the offered delivery date is later than the required delivery date, the offer will be considered nonresponsive and rejected.
