The minimum obligation under this contract is the Technical Manger, CLIN 0001. This amount (at least) will be obligated on the first delivery order, issued concurrently with the contract. The Government has no obligation to order additional supplies or issue additional delivery orders to the contractor beyond the minimum obligation specified above.

(a) Emergency situations and exercises are temporary exceptions to the prohibition of contractor personnel not being subject to the direction and control of Government personnel when performing non-personal contract services in FAA facilities.
(b) All contractor personnel at a FAA work site or facility during an actual emergency shall conform to the procedures posted or directed by FAA officials responsible for emergency response at that site or facility. Such officials include evacuation wardens/monitors, security personnel, Emergency Readiness Officers, management, etc.
(c) Contractor personnel shall participate in all emergency exercises, including evacuations, as part of performance under this contract. On rare occasions and based on advance arrangements that are then announced at the time of an exercise, contractor personnel will be excused from evacuations.
(d) Contractor management/supervisors shall ensure that each contractor employee assigned work in FAA facilities possesses a general awareness of emergency and evacuation procedures at all locations where the employees might be during an emergency or exercise. Information on emergency procedures may be requested from the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) or a designated FAA contact point at the work site.

AT THE MIKE MONRONEY AERONAUTICAL CENTER (MMAC) (NOV 2015)
(a) Emergency situations and exercises are temporary exceptions to the prohibition of contractor personnel being subject to the direction and control of Government personnel when performing non-personal contract services in Government facilities.
(b) All contractor personnel at a Government work site or facility during an actual emergency must conform to the procedures posted or directed by Government officials responsible for emergency response at that site or facility.
Such officials include evacuation wardens/monitors, security personnel, Emergency Readiness Officers, management, Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), etc.
(c) Contractor personnel must participate in all emergency exercises, including evacuations, as part of performance under this contract. On rare occasions, based on advance arrangements that are then announced at the time of an exercise, contractor personnel may be excused from evacuations.
(d) Contractor management/site supervisors must ensure that each contractor employee assigned to work in Government facilities possesses a general awareness of emergency and evacuation procedures at all locations where the employees might be during an emergency or exercise. Contractor Management/Site Supervisors are responsible for accounting for their employees during an actual emergency or exercise, and are subsequently required to report this information to their COR as soon as practical based on the situation. Information on emergency procedures may be requested from the COR or a designated Government contact point at the work site.
(e) When there are disruptions to Government operations at the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, Contractor Management/Site Supervisor should ensure that all employees are aware of the following methods of obtaining the Center’s status:
The Center Status website: https://employees.faa.gov/org/centers/mmac/employee_services/facility_status/
Status Phone number; 954-0040, and local TV/Radio news channels.
(f) If the Center is OPEN during inclement weather, it’s business as usual. Any need for unscheduled leave is between the contractor employee and their contractor management, not the FAA.
(g) When the Center is OPEN with a Delayed Arrival Time, contractors may allow their employees to arrive at the worksite in accordance with the Delayed Arrival Time under which the Center is operating. However, the government will not pay for hours not worked on other than firm fixed price type contracts and discussions on accounting for time on any other contract type should be between Contractor Management/Site Supervisor and COR or CO.
(h) When the Center is CLOSED, contractor employees should not report to the Center unless they have been informed in advance that they are considered ‘mission critical’ employees or their contractor management/site supervisor has provided other direction. The government will not pay for hours not worked on other than firm fixed price type contracts. Any discussions on accounting for time on any other contract type should be between the contractor management/site supervisor and the COR or CO.
(i) If an alternative duty location is activated that includes contractor employees, all contractor employees will be made aware of that location through their contractor management/site supervisor.

If an FAA requirement will increase the specified level of effort for a designated labor category, but not the overall level of effort of the contract, then the Contractor must notify the Contracting Officer to add personnel to the designated labor category. The Contractor must request added personnel as required by paragraph (4) below.
(4) Request and Review. The Contractor must submit the request for substitute or added personnel in writing to the Contracting Officer at least 30 days (if a security clearance must be obtained, at least 60 days) before the proposed date of substitution or addition. The Contractor's request must provide a detailed explanation of the circumstances causing the proposed substitution or addition, a complete resume for the proposed substitute or added personnel, and any additional information required by the Contracting Officer. Proposed substitutes and added personnel must have qualifications equal to or higher than those stated in the contract for the labor category. The Contracting Officer will evaluate the Contractor's request and promptly notify the Contractor of the decision to accept or reject the qualifications of the substitute or added personnel.
(5) The Contracting Officer may terminate the contract if the Contractor has not made suitable, timely, and reasonably forthcoming replacement of personnel who have been reassigned or terminated or otherwise become unavailable to work under the contract or the resulting loss of productive effort would impair the successful completion of the contract. Alternatively, if the Contracting Officer finds the Contractor to be at fault for the condition, then the Contracting Officer may equitably adjust (downward) the contract price or fixed fee to compensate the Government for any delay, loss or damage as a result of the Contractor's action.

Thus, for example, communications with the intent to influence made by a lawyer that do not provide legal advice or analysis directly and solely related to the legal aspects of his or her client's submittal/offer, but generally advocate one proposal over another are not allowable under this section because the lawyer is not providing professional legal services.
Similarly, communications with the intent to influence made by an engineer providing an engineering analysis prior to the preparation or submission of a submittal/offer are not allowable under this section since the engineer is providing technical services but not directly in the preparation, submission or negotiation of a covered Federal action.
(iii) Requirements imposed by or pursuant to law as a condition for receiving a covered Federal award include those required by law or regulation and any other requirements in the actual award documents.
(iv) Only those services expressly authorized by subdivisions (c)(2)(i) and (ii) of this clause are permitted under this clause.
(v) The reporting requirements herein must not apply with respect to payments of reasonable compensation made to regularly employed officers or employees of a person.

(1) If the Contractor, who requests or receives from an agency a Federal contract, has made or has agreed to make any payment using non-appropriated funds (to include profits from any Covered Federal action), to any person for the purpose of influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any Agency, a Member of Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress on his or her behalf in connection with a Covered Federal action, the Contractor must file with that agency a disclosure form, OMB Standard Form LLL, Disclosure of Lobbying Activities..
(2) The Contractor must file a disclosure form at the end of each calendar quarter in which there occurs any event that materially affects the accuracy of the information contained in any disclosure form previously filed by such person under subparagraph (d)(1) of this clause. An event that materially affects the accuracy of the information reported includes:
(i) A cumulative increase of $25,000 or more in the amount paid or expected to be paid for influencing or attempting to influence a covered Federal action; or
(ii) A change in the person(s) or individual(s) influencing or attempting to influence a covered Federal action; or
(iii) A change in the officer(s), employee(s), or Member(s) contacted to influence or attempt to influence a covered Federal action.
(3) The Contractor must require the certification, and if required, a disclosure form by any person who requests or receives any subcontractor exceeding $150,000 under the Federal contract.

The prime Contractor must submit all disclosures to the Contracting Officer at the end of the calendar quarter in which the disclosure form is submitted by the subcontractor.
(e) Agreement. The Contractor agrees not to make any payment prohibited by this clause.
(f) Penalties.
(1) Any person who makes an expenditure prohibited under paragraph (b) of this clause or fails to file or amend the disclosure form to be filed or amended by paragraph (b) must be subject to civil penalties as provided for by 31 U.S.C. 1352. An imposition of a civil penalty does not prevent the Government from seeking any other remedy that may be applicable.
(2) Contractors may rely without liability on the representations made by their subcontractors in the certification and in the disclosure form.
(g) Cost allowability. Nothing in this clause makes allowable or reasonable any costs which would otherwise be unallowable or unreasonable. Conversely, costs made specifically unallowable by the requirements in this clause will not be made allowable under any other provision.

(b) In the event the work required to be performed under this contract requires access to proprietary data and information of other companies, the contractor must obtain agreement from such other companies for such use unless such data are provided or made available to the contractor by the Government. Two copies of such company-to-company agreements must be furnished promptly to the Contracting Officer for information only. These agreements must prescribe the scope of authorized use and disclosure of the proprietary data and information as well as any other terms and conditions to be agreed upon between the parties thereto. It is agreed by the contractor that any such data or information, whether obtained by the contractor pursuant to the aforesaid agreement or from the Government, must be protected from unauthorized use by or unauthorized disclosure to any individual, corporation, or organization so long as it remains proprietary.
(c) The contractor agrees to conduct formal training to make employees aware of the requirement to maintain confidentiality of data and information as required above.
