52.246-12 INSPECTION OF CONSTRUCTION (AUG 1996)
(a) Definition. “Work” includes, but is not limited to, materials, workmanship, and manufacture and fabrication of components.
(b) The Contractor shall maintain an adequate inspection system and perform such inspections as will ensure that the work performed under the contract conforms to contract requirements. The Contractor shall maintain complete inspection records and make them available to the Government. All work shall be conducted under the general direction of the Contracting Officer and is subject to Government inspection and test at all places and at all reasonable times before acceptance to ensure strict compliance with the terms of the contract.
(c) Government inspections and tests are for the sole benefit of the Government and do not—
(1) Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for providing adequate quality control measures;
(2) Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for damage to or loss of the material before acceptance;
(3) Constitute or imply acceptance; or
(4) Affect the continuing rights of the Government after acceptance of the completed work under paragraph (i) of this section.
(d) The presence or absence of a Government inspector does not relieve the Contractor from any contract requirement, nor is the inspector authorized to change any term or condition of the specification without the Contracting Officer’s written authorization.
(e) The Contractor shall promptly furnish, at no increase in contract price, all facilities, labor, and material reasonably needed for performing such safe and convenient inspections and tests as may be required by the Contracting Officer. The Government may charge to the Contractor any additional cost of inspection or test when work is not ready at the time specified by the Contractor for inspection or test, or when prior rejection makes reinspection or retest necessary. The Government shall perform all inspections and tests in a manner that will not unnecessarily delay the work. Special, full size, and performance tests shall be performed as described in the contract.
(f) The Contractor shall, without charge, replace or correct work found by the Government not to conform to contract requirements, unless in the public interest the Government consents to accept the work with an appropriate adjustment in contract price. The Contractor shall promptly segregate and remove rejected material from the premises.
(g) If the Contractor does not promptly replace or correct rejected work, the Government may—
(1) By contract or otherwise, replace or correct the work and charge the cost to the Contractor; or
(2) Terminate for default the Contractor’s right to proceed.
(h) If, before acceptance of the entire work, the Government decides to examine already completed work by removing it or tearing it out, the Contractor, on request, shall promptly furnish all necessary facilities, labor, and material. If the work is found to be defective or nonconforming in any material respect due to the fault of the Contractor or its subcontractors, the Contractor shall defray the expenses of the examination and of satisfactory reconstruction. However, if the work is found

Document Title to meet contract requirements, the Contracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment for the additional services involved in the examination and reconstruction, including, if completion of the work was thereby delayed, an extension of time.
(i) Unless otherwise specified in the contract, the Government shall accept, as promptly as practicable after completion and inspection, all work required by the contract or that portion of the work the Contracting Officer determines can be accepted separately. Acceptance shall be final and conclusive except for latent defects, fraud, gross mistakes amounting to fraud, or the Government’s rights under any warranty or guarantee.

NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS – CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT REPORTING
SYSTEM (DEC 2015)
1. FAR 42.1502 directs all Federal agencies to collect past performance information on contracts. The Department of the Interior (DOI) has implemented the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to comply with this regulation. One or more past performance evaluations will be conducted in order to record your contract performance as required by FAR 42.15.
2. The past performance evaluation process is a totally paperless process using CPARS. CPARS is a web-based system that allows for electronic processing of the performance evaluation report. Once the report is processed, it is available in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) for Government use in evaluating past performance as part of a source selection action.
3. We request that you furnish the Contracting Officer (CO) with the name, position title, phone number, and email address for each person designated to have access to your firm's past performance evaluation(s) for the contract no later than 30 days after award. Each person granted access will have the ability to provide comments in the Contractor portion of the report and state whether or not the Contractor agrees with the evaluation, before returning the report to the Assessing Official (AO). Information in the report must be protected as source selection sensitive information not releasable to the public.
4. When your Contractor Representative(s) are registered in CPARS, they will receive an automatically generated email with detailed login instructions. Further details, systems requirements, and training information for CPARS is available at https://www.cpars.gov/.
5. Within 60 days after the end of a performance period, the AO will complete an interim or final past performance evaluation, and the report will be accessible at https://www.cpars.gov/.
a. Contractor Representatives may then provide comments in response to the evaluation, or return the evaluation without comment.
b. Your comments should focus on objective facts in the AO's narrative and should provide your views on the causes and ramifications of the assessed performance.
c. All information provided should be reviewed for accuracy prior to submission.
d. If you elect not to provide comments, please acknowledge receipt of the evaluation by indicating "No comment" in the space provided, and then selecting “Accept the Ratings and Close the Evaluation”.
e. Your response is due within 60 calendar days after receipt of the CPAR. On day 15, the evaluation will become available in PPIRS-RC marked as “Pending” with or without comments and whether or not it has been closed.
f. If you do not sign and submit the CPAR within 60 days, it will automatically be returned to the Government and will be annotated: "The report was delivered/received by the contractor on (date). The contractor neither signed nor offered comment in response to this assessment."
6. The following guidelines apply concerning your use of the past performance evaluation:
a. Protect the evaluation as source selection information. After review, transmit the evaluation by completing and submitting the form through CPARS. If for some reason you are unable to view and/or submit the form through CPARS, contact the CO for instructions.
b. Strictly control access to the evaluation within your organization. Ensure the evaluation is never released to persons or entities outside of your control.
c. Prohibit the use of or reference to evaluation data for advertising, promotional material, pre-award surveys, responsibility determinations, production readiness reviews, or other similar purposes.
Document No.

Document Title
7. If you wish to discuss a past performance evaluation, you should request a meeting in writing to the CO no later than seven days following your receipt of the evaluation. The meeting will be held in person or via telephone or other means during your 60-day review period.
8. A copy of the completed past performance evaluation will be available in CPARS for your viewing and for Government use supporting source selection actions after it has been finalized.

(End of Clause)
SITE SPECIFIC SAFETY AND HEALTH PLAN
A site specific safety and health plan shall be prepared covering on-site work to be performed by the contractor and all subcontractors. The prime contractor shall be responsible for development, implementation, and oversight of the site specific plan. The site specific safety and health plan shall establish in detail, the protocols necessary for recognition, evaluation, and control of hazards associated with each task performed. The plan shall address site specific safety and health requirements and procedures based upon site specific conditions. The level of detail provided in the site specific safety and health plan shall be tailored to the type of work, complexity of operations to be performed, and hazards anticipated. The site specific safety and health plan shall address, in as much detail as possible, anticipated tasks, their related hazards, and anticipated control measures.
As work proceeds, the site specific safety and health plan shall be adapted to new situations and new conditions.
Changes and modifications to the accepted site specific safety and health plan shall be made with the knowledge and concurrence of the safety office, site superintendent, and contracting office. Should any unforeseen hazard become evident during the performance of work, the contractor shall bring such hazard to the attention of the safety office and COR, both verbally and in writing for resolution as soon as possible. In the interim, necessary action shall be taken to re-establish and maintain safe working conditions in order to safeguard on-site personnel, visitors, the public, and the environment.
Prior to submittal to the COR, the site specific safety and health plan shall be signed and dated by the prime contractor's safety and health manager and site superintendent. The site specific safety and health plan shall be part of the contractor's safety and Health program. The contractor shall submit to the COR the contractor's site specific safety and health plan for review and approval by the safety office.
Work performed under this contract shall comply with applicable federal, state, and local safety and occupational health laws and regulations. This includes, but is not limited to, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards, 29 CFR, Part 1910 and Part 1926. Where the requirements of applicable laws, criteria, ordinances, regulations, and referenced documents vary the most stringent requirements shall apply.

ARCHEOLOGICAL FINDINGS
(a) Petroglyphs, artifacts, burial grounds or remains, structural features, ceremonial, domestic, and archeological objects of any nature, historic or prehistoric, found within the construction area, are the property of and will be removed only by the Government. Should Contractor's operations uncover or his employees find any archeological remains, Contractor shall suspend operations at the site of discovery; notify Contracting Officer immediately of the findings; and continue operations in other areas. Included with the notification shall be a brief statement of the location and details of the findings. Should the temporary suspension of work at the site result in delays, or the discovery site require archeological studies resulting in delays or additional work for Contractor, he will be compensated by an equitable adjustment under the General Provisions of the Contract.
(End of Clause)
CONDUCT OF OPERATIONS
At all times the Contractor shall conduct his organization in conformance with the rules and regulations promulgated by the Secretary of the Interior for the National Park Service, and with such appropriate regulations as the Superintendent may prescribe. Work on Saturdays, Sundays, Federal holidays or at night may be performed only with the prior consent of the Contracting Officer. No signs or advertisements (except those specified herein) shall be displayed on the construction site or within the park except with approval of the Contracting Officer.
(End of Clause)
SUBCONTRACTING REPORTING REQUIREMENT
Subcontracting Plan Reporting (SPR): FAR 52.219-9 requires the Contractor to submit Individual Subcontracting Reports (ISR) using the web-based Subcontracting Plan Reporting (SPR) system at SAM.gov within 45 days after the report ending date (e.g., by November 14th for the fiscal year ended September 30th). Semiannual reporting is required, with report ending periods of March 31 and September 30. Any performance issues shall be handled under the procedures for the Small Business Participation Evaluation Factor (SBPEF) described below.
Small Business Participation Commitment Documents (SBPCDs): SBPCDs submitted under a Small Business Participation Evaluation Factor (SBPEF) are evaluation-stage proposal commitments that are incorporated into the contract award. The SBPCDs become binding, enforceable performance obligations—requiring the Contractor to deliver the specific small business participation levels and roles promised in its proposal. Therefore, the Contracting Officer requires the Contractor to submit periodic reports (on the same schedule required for Subcontracting Plan Reporting) showing compliance with its commitments. These reports must be submitted to the Contracting Officer via email and in a format chosen by the Contractor.
If the Contractor does not meet the small business participation commitments it proposed under the SBPEF, the Contracting Officer will take appropriate corrective action. Failure to meet these commitments – even when acting in good faith – must be addressed promptly. Good faith effort alone is not an acceptable reason for noncompliance with the Contractor’s proposed commitments. Contracting Officers shall incorporate any performance issues related to SBPCD/SBPEF into past performance evaluations.
