Clauses By Full Text

(a) Bid Guarantee. Each bidder shall submit with his bid a Bid Bond (Standard Form 24) with good and sufficient surety or sureties acceptable to the Government, or other security as provided in provision 52.228-1, in the form of twenty percent (20) of the bid price or not to exceed $3,000,000. The bid bond penalty may be expressed in terms of a percentage of the bid price or may be expressed in dollars and cents. A bid bond is not required for bids of $150,000 or less. (FAR 28.102-1)
(b) Performance and Payment Bonds. Within 10 days after award the contractor shall execute and submit to the Contracting Officer two bonds, each with good and sufficient surety or sureties acceptable to the Government, as follows; a Performance Bond (Standard Form 25) and a Payment Bond (Standard Form 25A). The penal sums of such bonds will be as follows: (Not required for contracts of $150,000 or less)
(1) Performance Bond: The penal sum of performance bonds at the time of contract award shall be 100 percent of the original contract price.
(2) Payment Bond: The penal amount of payment bonds at the time of contract award shall be 100 percent of the original contract price.
(c) For construction contracts greater than $30,000 but not greater than $150,000, the Contracting Officer shall select two or more of the following payment protections, giving particular consideration to inclusion of an irrevocable letter of credit as one of the selected alternatives (FAR 28.102-1(b)(1)):
(1) A Payment Bond;
(2) An irrevocable letter of credit (ILC);
(3) A tripartite escrow agreement;

Statements from a CPA that contain disclaimers are not acceptable. The statement of net worth on the Standard Form 28, Affidavit of Individual Surety, is insufficient and will not be accepted without additional proof of value and ownership.
(2) Bidders are cautioned that individual sureties must provide complete and detailed information in Block 9 of Standard Form 28 concerning other contracts on which they have provided bonds. This information shall include contract number, contract location, amount, and type of bond and telephone number of the involved contracting office.

The Contracting Officer may require additional supporting information, but only to the extent necessary to determine whether an exception should be granted, and whether the price is fair and reasonable--

(ii) Information on modifications of contracts or subcontracts for commercial items.

(2) The modification (to the contract or subcontract) is not exempted based on one of these exceptions, then the Contractor may provide information to establish that the modification would not change the contract or subcontract from a contract or subcontract for the acquisition of a commercial item to a contract or subcontract for the acquisition of an item other than a commercial item.

(2) The Contractor grants the Contracting Officer or an authorized representative the right to examine, at any time before award, books, records, documents, or other directly pertinent records to verify any request for an exception under this clause, and the reasonableness of price.

FAO-0015 Changes
(a) Changes will be in accordance with the Changes clause 52.243-4 or Changes and Changed Conditions clause 52.243-5 whichever applies to this contract.
(b) When changes are made in the work that requires an equitable adjustment to the contract, the Contractor shall submit to the Contracting Officer, through the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), a written proposal for adjustment of the amount of increase or decrease. With the proposal, the Contractor shall submit an itemized breakdown in at least the following detail:
(1) Material quantities and unit cost
(2) Labor costs by material item
(3) Construction equipment cost
(4) Workmen's compensation and public liability insurance
(5) Overhead
(6) Profit or commission
(7) Employment taxes (FICA and FUTA)
(c) The maximum allowable overhead, profit and commission percentages are contained below. The percentages for overhead, profit and commission shall be negotiated and may vary according to the nature, extent and complexity of the work involved, but in no case shall exceed the following:
(1) To the Contractor, on work performed by other than his own forces. The commission is 10% in the first $20,000, 7 1/2% on the next $30,000, 5% on the balance over $50,000.
(2) To the Contractor, and/or the Subcontractors for that portion of the work performed with their respective forces. The commission is 10% overhead and 10% profit on the first $20,000, 7 1/2% overhead and 7 1/2% profit on the next $30,000, and 5% overhead and 5% profit on the balance over $50,000.
Not more than three (3) percentages, not to exceed the maximum percentage amounts shown above, will be allowed regardless of the number of Subcontractors (i.e., the mark up on work subcontracted by the Subcontractor will be limited to the overhead
15B21220B00000001 Page 15 of 26 percentage and one profit percentage in addition to the prime Contractor's commission percentage). On proposals covering both increases and decreases in the amount of the contract, overhead, profit and commission will be allowed on the net increase only.
(d) When certified cost or pricing data are required under FAR 15.403-4 for proposals over $700,000, the cost or pricing data shall be submitted in accordance with FAR 15.408, Table 15-2. No itemized breakdown will be required for proposals amounting to less than $1,000.
(e) When the necessity to proceed with a change does not allow sufficient time to negotiate a modification or because of failure to reach an agreement, the Contracting Officer may issue a change order instructing the contractor to proceed on the basis of a tentative price based on the best estimate available at the time, with the firm price to be determined later. Furthermore, when the change order is issued, the contractor shall submit a proposal for cost of changes in work within 30 calendar days.
(f) The Contracting Officer will consider issuing a settlement by determination to the contract, if the contractor's proposal required by paragraphs (a) and (b) of this clause is not received within 30 calendar days, or if agreement has not been reached.
(g) Where a change involves credit items only, a proper measure of the amount of downward adjustment in the contract price is the reasonable cost to the contractor if he/she had performed the deleted work. A reasonable allowance for overhead and profit are properly includable as part of the downward adjustment for a deductive change. The amount of such allowance is subject to negotiation.
(h) Overhead and contractor's fee percentages shall be considered to include insurance other than mentioned herein, field and office supervisors and assistants, security police, use of small tools, incidental job burdens, and general home office expenses and no separate allowance will be made therefor. Assistants to office supervisors include all clerical, stenographic and general office help.
Incidental job burdens include, but are not necessarily limited to, office equipment and supplies, temporary toilets, telephone and conformance to OSHA requirements. Items such as, but not necessarily limited to, review and coordination, estimating and expediting relative to contract changes are associated with field and office supervision and are considered to be included in the contractor's overhead and/or fee percentage.
(i) The Contractor shall submit with his proposal a request for time extension, if applicable.
(j) The COR shall review the proposal and check estimates in detail, utilizing unit prices where specified or agreed upon. If they are in agreement, the COR shall forward the proposal to the Contracting Officer.

After their review, the Architect-Engineer and Project Manager will forward their comments to the Contracting Officer.
(k) If the Contracting Officer determines that an equitable adjustment is to be made, the contract shall be modified in writing utilizing the prescribed Standard Form 30 (Amendment of Solicitation/Modification of Contract)(SF-30). After the SF-30 has been signed by the Contractor and executed by the Contracting Officer, distribution shall be made as follows:
(1) Original: Contract file
(2) Copy to: Contractor Regional Project Manager Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) Architect-Engineer Firm (if applicable) Accounting Supervisor Contracting Officer
52.225-9 Buy American-Construction Materials (May 2014)
(a) Definitions. As used in this clause--
"Commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) item"--
(1) Means any item of supply (including construction material) that is--
(i) A commercial item (as defined in paragraph (1) of the definition at FAR 2.101);
(ii) Sold in substantial quantities in the commercial marketplace; and
15B21220B00000001 Page 16 of 26
(iii) Offered to the Government, under a contract or subcontract at any tier, without modification, in the same form in which it is sold in the commercial marketplace; and
(2) Does not include bulk cargo, as defined in 46 U.S.C. 40102(4), such as agricultural products and petroleum products.
"Construction material" means an article, material, or supply brought to the construction site by the Contractor or a subcontractor for incorporation into the building or work. The term also includes an item brought to the site preassembled from articles, materials, or supplies. However, emergency life safety systems, such as emergency lighting, fire alarm, and audio evacuation systems, that are discrete systems incorporated into a public building or work and that are produced as complete systems, are evaluated as a single and distinct construction material regardless of when or how the individual parts or components of those systems are delivered to the construction site. Materials purchased directly by the Government are supplies, not construction material.
"Cost of components" means--
(1) For components purchased by the Contractor, the acquisition cost, including transportation costs to the place of incorporation into the construction material (whether or not such costs are paid to a domestic firm), and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free entry certificate is issued); or
(2) For components manufactured by the Contractor, all costs associated with the manufacture of the component, including transportation costs as described in paragraph (1) of this definition, plus allocable overhead costs, but excluding profit. Cost of components does not include any costs associated with the manufacture of the construction material.
"Domestic construction material means"--
(1) An unmanufactured construction material mined or produced in the United States;
(2) A construction material manufactured in the United States, if--
(i) The cost of its components mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States exceeds 50 percent of the cost of all its components. Components of foreign origin of the same class or kind for which nonavailability determinations have been made are treated as domestic; or
(ii) The construction material is a COTS item.
"Foreign construction material" means a construction material other than a domestic construction material.
"United States" means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and outlying areas.
(b) Domestic preference.
(1) This clause implements 41 U.S.C. chapter 83, Buy American, by providing a preference for domestic construction material. In accordance with 41 U.S.C. 1907, the component test of the Buy American statute is waived for construction material that is a COTS item. (See FAR 12.505(a)(2)). The Contractor shall use only domestic construction material in performing this contract, except as provided in paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this clause.
(2) This requirement does not apply to information technology that is a commercial item or to the construction materials or components listed by the Government as follows:
##None [Contracting Officer to list applicable excepted materials or indicate "none"]
(3) The Contracting Officer may add other foreign construction material to the list in paragraph (b)(2) of this clause if the Government determines that--
(i) The cost of domestic construction material would be unreasonable. The cost of a particular domestic construction material subject to the requirements of the Buy American statute is unreasonable when the cost of such material exceeds the cost of foreign material by more than 6 percent;
15B21220B00000001 Page 17 of 26
(ii) The application of the restriction of the Buy American statute to a particular construction material would be impracticable or inconsistent with the public interest; or
(iii) The construction material is not mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities of a satisfactory quality.
(c) Request for determination of inapplicability of the Buy American statute.
(1)(i) Any Contractor request to use foreign construction material in accordance with paragraph (b)(3) of this clause shall include adequate information for Government evaluation of the request, including--
(A) A description of the foreign and domestic construction materials;
(B) Unit of measure;
(C) Quantity;
(D) Price;
(E) Time of delivery or availability;
(F) Location of the construction project;
(G) Name and address of the proposed supplier; and
(H) A detailed justification of the reason for use of foreign construction materials cited in accordance with paragraph (b)(3) of this clause.
(ii) A request based on unreasonable cost shall include a reasonable survey of the market and a completed price comparison table in the format in paragraph (d) of this clause.
(iii) The price of construction material shall include all delivery costs to the construction site and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free certificate may be issued).
(iv) Any Contractor request for a determination submitted after contract award shall explain why the Contractor could not reasonably foresee the need for such determination and could not have requested the determination before contract award. If the Contractor does not submit a satisfactory explanation, the Contracting Officer need not make a determination.
(2) If the Government determines after contract award that an exception to the Buy American statute applies and the Contracting Officer and the Contractor negotiate adequate consideration, the Contracting Officer will modify the contract to allow use of the foreign construction material. However, when the basis for the exception is the unreasonable price of a domestic construction material, adequate consideration is not less than the differential established in paragraph (b)(3)(i) of this clause.
(3) Unless the Government determines that an exception to the Buy American statute applies, use of foreign construction material is noncompliant with the Buy American statute.
(d) Data. To permit evaluation of requests under paragraph (c) of this clause based on unreasonable cost, the Contractor shall include the following information and any applicable supporting data based on the survey of…
