SECTION B - SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICES/COSTS

B.1

SCOPE OF SERVICES

The Contractor shall provide warehousing services for the U.S. Mission to France in accordance with Section C - Description/Specifications/Work Statement and the Exhibits contained in Section J of this contract.

B.2

TYPE OF CONTRACT

This is a fixed price contract with partial economic price adjustment and indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity line items for temporary additional services. Orders will be placed by firm fixed price task orders.

For each year of the contract, the U.S. Government guarantees a minimum order of 220.00 €. The maximum amount of shipping/packing services each year of this contract will not exceed 418,000.00 € incl. VAT.

Individual purchases shall be documented as task orders.

B.3

TYPES OF SERVICES

(a) Standard Services. The Contractor shall provide standard warehouse support services as specified in Section C.

(b) Temporary Additional Services. The Contractor shall provide temporary additional services when requested by the Contracting Officer through a written order. Temporary Additional Services delivered shall be in addition to the Standard Services and shall be priced at the unit prices shown below. The tasks to be accomplished shall be additional quantities of the same tasks described in Section C.

Because Temporary/Additional Serices are based on inefinite delivery /indefinite quantity the minimum and maximum are defined below.

Minimum: The Government shall place orders totaling a minimum of 220.00 € incl. VAT annually. This reflects the contract minimum for each year of contract performance.

Maximum: The amount of all orders shall not exceed 418,000.00 € incl.VAT annually. This reflects the contract maximum for each year of contract performance.

The hourly rates for Temporary Additional Services, as defined in Section C, are fully loaded rates, including:

1. All direct and indirect labor costs (including any premiums relating to overtime, holidays or night shifts, etc., and materials, excluding separately priced vehicles and communications equipment);

2. All overhead and indirect costs, including general and administrative expenses (g&a); and

3. Profit.

B.4

USE OF INDEXES IN PRICE REVISION

Prices for line items under this contract shall be revised in accordance with laws applicable to the performance of warehousing services in France. Prices shall be based on the index rates for labor and for storage rental services (ILAT or Indice des Loyers des Activités Tertiaires meaning Tertiary Activities Rent Index) released every year in January by the French Government through the official French National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE) as follows:

Price (Pn) represents the contract prices for labor and for storage rental services for the base year and for each of the option years when they have expired and prices for a new option year shall be revised using indexes.

Price (Pn+1) is the revised and adjusted price for labor and for storage rental services in year n + 1 for each of the option years when they are implemented.

B.4.1 Labor For the labor hours (CLINs 0006; 0007; 008), the labor index rates released by INSEE shall apply as follows:

The labor index rate (In) assessed by the INSEE for the base year of the contract and each of the option years when they have expired and prices for a new option year shall be revised using indexes.

The labor index rate (In+1) assessed by the INSEE for year n + 1 for each of the option years when they are implemented.

The labor index rate of 113.8 issued in December 2022 shall apply for the base year prices for line items for labor.

B.4.2 Storage rental services For the storage rental services (CLINs 0002; 0003; 0004; 0005) ILAT index released by INSEE shall apply as follows:

The storage rental services rate (In) assessed by the INSEE for the base year of the contract.

The storage rental services rate (In+1) assessed by the INSEE for year n + 1 for each of the option years when implemented when they have expired and prices for a new option year shall be revised using indexes.

The storage rental services rate of 124.53 issued in December 2022 shall apply for the base year prices for line items for storage rental services.

B.4.3 Calculation with formula The prices and the index rates shall form the basis of the formula governing the revision of contract prices for all four-option years. The same formula shall apply for both labor and storage rental services only when the contract is modified to exercise an option year extension. Fixed prices for each option year (subject to a contract modification duly signed by both vendor and Contracting Officer and starting the day after expiration date of the contract year in progress and continuing for a period of 12 months) for all labor services and storage rental services as defined in C.2 (TYPES OF SERVICES) shall be the same as for the base year subject to revision only in accordance with the formula.

The effective date for the change of the index rates may occur prior to the expiration date of the contractual year in progress but this shall have no bearing on the modification to follow and no retroactive adjustment shall be considered. The contractor shall submit his request for revision for each option year using the index rates in effect 30 days prior to the expiration date of the contractual year in progress. The formula is as follows:

P n+1 = Pn x In+1

In The line items relating to material, equipment, consumable and transportation (CLINs 0009 to 0013) are not subject to index revision and their prices shall remain the same throughout the life of the contract.

B.4.4 Adjustment Ceiling Regardless of the percentage increases applied by the French Government for the above referenced index rates, no adjustement shall be applied that exceeds 10% of the line item prices applicable at the time of the request for adjustment.

B.5

PRICING

(a) The Government shall pay the Contractor a fixed price per month for Standard Services that have been satisfactorily performed. The Government shall also pay the Contractor for Temporary Additional Services ordered each month by the Government for satisfactorily completed work.

(b) The Government will make payment in local currency.

(c) The Government shall also reimburse the Contractor at the purchase price for any materials or equipment ordered by the Government for Temporary Addditional Services.

(d) VALUE ADDED TAX. Value Added Tax (VAT) is not included in the CLIN rates. Instead, it will be priced as separate linte item in the contract and on invoices. Local law dictates the portion of the contract price that is subject to VAT; this percentage is multiplied only against that portion. It is reflected for each performance period.
