1. THE SCHEDULE

A. Contract Type

This is a firm fixed-price contract. No additional sums will be payable on account of any escalation in the cost of materials, equipment or labor, or because of the Contractor's failure to properly estimate or accurately predict the cost or difficulty of achieving the results required by this contract.

Nor will the contract price be adjusted on account of fluctuations in the currency exchange rates. Changes in the contract price or time to complete will be made only due to changes made by the Government in the work to be performed, or by delays caused by the Government, as determined and approved by the Contracting Officer.

B. Contract Price

The Contractor shall complete all work (including furnishing all labor, material, equipment, and services) re-quired under this contract for the following firm fixed-price and within the time specified herein. This price shall include all labor, services, materials, equipment, overhead, costs for insurance, profit, travel, DBA Insur-ance, and any other costs required to perform and complete all repair and relining services, in accordance with the Statement of Work (SOW), drawings, specifications, and all other contract terms and conditions stated with-in the contract.

The cost of any materials or equipment required in conjunction with the services rendered herein shall be included in the proposed firm fixed-price.

If applicable, insurance required by FAR 52.228-3, Workers’ Compensation Insurance (Defense Base Act), shall be part of the firm fixed-price. Any costs not priced will be included in overhead and other indirect costs.

The offeror shall clearly identify and state the currency for all costs in their price proposal. After award, the Contractor shall invoice in and payment will be made according to the currency identified in the offerror's pro-posal, unless otherwise specified by the Contracting Officer.

C. Defense Base Act (DBA) Insurance

DBA insurance is required for all United States citizens or residents and individuals hired in the United States, regardless of citizenship for any construction and services for U. S. overseas contracts over US$3,500.00. DBA insurance is also required for all Host Country Nationals (HCNs) and Third Country Nationals (TCNs) working overseas unless waved by the Department of Labor (DOL). Only the countries listed currently on the DOL’s Active DBA Waivers are not required to have DBA insurance for Host Country Nationals (HCNs) and Third Country Nationals (TCNs). See website for country waivers: https://www.dol.gov/owcp/dlhwc/dbawaivers/dbawaivers.htm). The waiver is only valid if alternative worker’s compensation benefits are provided to the waived employees pursuant to applicable local law. If there are no local worker’s compensation laws, the waiver has no effect and HCN and TCN (if applicable by local law) working under a U. S. contract shall be included and covered under the DBA.

The DBA insurance may be obtained from any authorized DBA insurance broker, see Sub-Section I.14, FAR 52.228-3 WORKER’S COMPENSATION INSURANCE (DEFENSE BASE ACT) (APR 1984). New DBA in-surances policies can be purchased directly from any DOL approved insurance carrier. A list of DOL approved carriers may be found at http://www.dol.gov/owcp/dlhwc/lscarrier.htm.

The Contractor will be reimbursed for DBA only to the extent the contractor provides documentary proof that

DBA has been paid and only to the extent quoted in the Pricing Schedule.

DBA insurance cost will be evaluated as part of the total evaluated fixed price and included in the fixed price of the contract. Where DBA is applicable, the Contractor will be required to provide evidence of insurance (certification of coverage and a paid invoice) within 15 calendar days from the date of award.

Sweden is currently included on the DOL’s active waiver list thru July 25, 2022, therefore DBA insurance is not required for Host Country Nationals (HCNs) and Third Country Nationals (TCNs).

D. Value Added Tax (VAT)

If applicable, the contractor shall be responsible paying to the appropriate authority, the applicable rate of Value Added Tax. Offerors shall identify Value Added Tax (VAT) as a separate line item in Section B, CLIN 003.

To receive reimbursement for VAT, it will also be necessary for:

• The contractor to be in possession of a Swedish VAT registration number, and for this registration number to be included in all payment requests;

• The VAT shall also be reflected as a separate cost item on all invoices submitted under the resulting con-tract.

The Contractor will be reimbursed for VAT only to the extent contractor provides documentary proof that VAT has been paid to the host government against a valid VAT registration number. Any refund of VAT to the Con-tractor shall be paid to the Government to the extent the Government reimbursed the contractor for the VAT payment.

(c) No request by the Contractor for an equitable adjustment to the contract under this clause shall be allowed, unless the Contractor has given the written notice required; provided, that the time prescribed in paragraph (a) of this clause for giving written notice may be extended by the Contracting Officer.
