CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE

ASSESSMENT REPORTING SYSTEM

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.

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.

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

G-5 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.

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/.

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/.

Contractor Representatives may then provide comments in response to the evaluation, or return the evaluation without comment.

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.

All information provided should be reviewed for accuracy prior to submission.

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”.

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.

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."

The following guidelines apply concerning your use of the past performance evaluation:

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.

Strictly control access to the evaluation within your organization. Ensure the evaluation is never released to persons or entities outside of your control.

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.

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.

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.

I-6

WBR 1452.232-80 LIMITATION OF FUNDS MAR 2022

(a) Pursuant to Section 12 of the Reclamation Project Act of 1939 (43 U.S.C. 388) incremental funding for this contract will be made available in accordance with this clause. This statute permits the Secretary of the Interior to enter into contracts which will cover such periods as the Secretary may consider necessary but in which liability of the United States shall be contingent upon appropriations being made therefore. For purposes of this clause, the term "appropriations" includes the Bureau of Reclamation’s subsequent allocation of funds for this contract.

(b) Incremental funding in the amount of $(to be filled in at time of award) is presently available for payment and allotted under this contract. This present funding allotment is contemplated to cover the work to be performed until (to be filled in at time of award). A schedule for anticipated future funding allotments is as follows. This information is for planning purposes only and may not be fully representative of the funds actually allotted under this contract:

FISCAL YEAR FUNDING AMOUNT

FISCAL YEAR FUNDING AMOUNT

On award of Contract FY 2025 – 55% of contract value Remaining Funding FY 2026 – 45% of contract value

(c) For work identified in paragraph (b) of this clause, the Contractor agrees to perform up to the point at which the total amount payable by the Government, including reimbursement in the event of termination of specified work for the Government's convenience, approximates the total amount currently allotted to the contract. The Contractor shall not be obligated to continue performance of this work beyond that point. The Government shall not be obligated in any event to reimburse the Contractor in excess of the amount allotted to the contract for this work notwithstanding any contrary provisions of the Termination for Convenience of the Government clause of this contract.

(d) Notwithstanding the date specified in paragraph (b) of this clause, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing at least sixty days prior to the date when, in the Contractor's best judgment, the work will reach the point at which the total amount payable by the Government, including any cost for termination for convenience, will approximate 75 percent of the total amount then allotted to the contract for performance of work identified in paragraph (b) of this clause. The notification shall state (1) the estimated date when that point will be reached and (2) an estimate of additional funding, if any, needed to continue performance of the work up to the next scheduled date for allotment of funds identified in paragraph (b) of this clause, or to a mutually agreed upon substitute date. The notification shall also advise the Contracting Officer of the estimated amount of additional funds that will be required for the timely performance of work funded pursuant to this clause, for a subsequent period as may be specified in the allotment schedule in paragraph (b) of this clause, or otherwise agreed to by the parties. If after such notification additional funds are not allotted by the date identified in the Contractor's

I-7 notification, or by an agreed substitute date, the Contracting Officer shall terminate any work for which additional funds have not been allotted, pursuant to the Termination for Convenience of the Government clause of this contract.

(e) When additional funds are allotted for continued performance of the work identified in paragraph (b) of this clause, the parties will agree as to the period of contract performance which will be covered by the funds. The provisions of paragraph (c) through (e) of this clause will apply in like manner to the additional allotted funds and agreed substitute date, and the contract will be modified accordingly through revision of paragraph (b) of this clause. The Contracting Officer is the only person authorized to provide notice, communication, or other form of representation to increase or decrease the amount of funds allotted by the Government to this contract. . If agreement cannot be reached, the Contracting Officer will make a final decision as to the period of contract performance that will be covered by the funds. This decision may be appealed by the Contractor under the Disputes clause of the contract.

(f) If, solely by reason of failure of the Government to allot additional funds in amounts sufficient for timely performance of the work identified in paragraph (b) of this clause, the Contractor incurs additional costs or is delayed in the performance of the work under this contract and if additional funds are allotted, an equitable adjustment will be made in the price or prices (including appropriate target, billing, and ceiling prices where applicable) of work, or in the time of delivery, or both. Failure to agree to any such equitable adjustment hereunder shall be a dispute concerning a question of fact within the meaning of the Disputes clause of this contract.

(g) The Government may at any time prior to termination allot additional funds for the performance of the work identified in paragraph (b) of this clause.

(h) The termination provisions of this clause do not limit the rights of the Government under the Default clause of this contract. The provisions of this clause are limited to the work and allotment of funds as set forth in paragraph (b) of this clause. This clause is inapplicable once the contract is fully funded except with regard to the rights or obligations of the parties concerning equitable adjustments negotiated under paragraphs (e) or (f) of this clause.

(i)…
