B.5 DEFENSE BASE ACT (DBA) INSURANCE

B.5 DEFENSE BASE ACT (DBA) INSURANCE

B.5.1 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 Na-tionals (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 Nation-als (HCNs) and Third Country Nationals (TCNs). See website for country waivers: ht-tps://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.

B.5.2 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 insurances 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.

B.5.3 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.

B.5.4 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.

B.5.5 Guyana is currently not included on the DOL’s active waiver list, therefore DBA insurance is required for all employees performing work on this contract.

(2) Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for damage to or loss of the material before acceptance;

(3) Constitute or imply acceptance; or

(4) Affect the continuing rights of the Government after acceptance of the completed work under paragraph (i) of this section.

(d) The presence or absence of a Government inspector does not relieve the Contractor from any contract re-quirement, nor is the inspector authorized to change any term or condition of the specification without the Con-tracting Officer's written authorization.

(e) The Contractor shall promptly furnish, at no increase in contract price, all facilities, labor, and material reas-onably needed for performing such safe and convenient inspections and tests as may be required by the Con-tracting Officer. The Government may charge to the Contractor any additional cost of inspection or test when work is not ready at the time specified by the Contractor for inspection or test, or when prior rejection makes re-inspection or retest necessary. The Government shall perform all inspections and tests in a manner that will not unnecessarily delay the work. Special, full size, and performance tests shall be performed as described in the contract.

(f) The Contractor shall, without charge, replace or correct work found by the Government not to conform to contract requirements, unless in the public interest the Government consents to accept the work with an appro-priate adjustment in contract price.

E.4 QUALITY ASSURANCE AND CONTROL

A principal factor of performance on a project is the Contractor’s control of the quality of workmanship. The Contractor shall establish and maintain a project-specific Quality Management Program (QMP) which defines and implements a quality system. The quality system is a documented organizational process which describes responsibilities, procedures, and resources for providing quality control and quality assurance on a project. Ef-fectiveness of the QMP is achieved through adequate planning, forceful direction, and checking in the sense of measurement and evaluation. The QMP applies to the control of quality throughout all areas of contract per-formance.

E.4.1 Quality Management Program The Contractor’s QMP shall be Facility Management Office (COR)-approved to provide employees, consult-ants, and/or joint-venture partners with established, uniform procedures for production of project data and docu-ments throughout the construction process. Principal functions of the QMP are the following:

E.4.1.1 Quality Control (QC) Operational techniques and activities that are used to fulfill requirements for construction quality.

E.4.1.2 Quality Assurance (QA) Documentation of planned and systematic actions required to provide confidence that construction services provided are based on project requirements and satisfy stated requirements for quality.

E.4.2 Audits After award of the Contract The Government may perform audits of the Contractor’s QMP to periodically assess conformance with the

QMP in accordance with the provisions of Section E of the contract. Disapproval of the program, or major por-tions, may be cause for a delay in progress of the project’s development or, in some cases, withholding accept-ance of the Contractor’s performed services. The Government may examine the Contractor’s existing quality system prior to award of this contract as part of a pre-contract assessment, in order to determine the ability of the Contractor to satisfy the “quality” requirements of this contract.

In addition to the submittal of a Quality Management Plan within fifteen (15) calendar days after con- tract award, the Contractor shall also submit a preliminary Quality Management Program as part of their proposal (See L.5.5.3 (E)).

E.4.4.2 Quality Policy The Contractor shall have a stated corporate quality policy. This policy shall be consistent with the Contractor’s quality policy in the QMP. Necessary measures shall be taken by the Contractor to en-sure that the corporate quality policy is understood, implemented, and maintained by all employees of the Contractor and the Contractor’s subcontractors.

E.4.4.3 Building Standards Construction must comply with the building codes and standards as detailed within the project drawings and specifications in addition to conforming to each volume, as applicable, of the 2009 International Code Council body of codes. Inconsistencies among codes and standards shall be brought in writing to the attention of the COR. The COR will resolve any inconsistencies.

E.4.4.4 Other Procedures Other procedures shall address construction management, procurement activities, construction management, quality records, and audits.

E.4.4.5 Security and Communications Interface The Contractor’s QMP shall provide for integration of security and communications requirements into the project.

E.4.4.6 Checking, Coordinating, and Integrating Drawings Quality Control procedures shall be established to ensure individual drawings and other documentation have been checked and that all documentation, including that of the supporting disciplines (e.g., civil, structural, mechanical, electrical) have been coordinated and integrated. Deficiencies, ambi-guities, conflicts, and inconsistencies shall be corrected prior to construction. Similar procedures shall be established to ensure that work in place complies with code requirements without the need for the USG to identify defects and initiate corrective action.

E.4.4.7 Document Control The QMP shall ensure that documents, including subsequent changes, will be reviewed for ad-equacy, approved for release by authorized personnel, and properly conveyed to the Government.

Persons responsible for reviewing, approving, and releasing new and revised documents shall be identified.

E.4.4.9 Corrective Action The QMP shall clearly define responsibilities and procedures for corrective action in the event that deficiencies in D/B services or resulting deliverables are found to exist.
