B.4 CONTRACT PRICE

B.4.1 The contractor shall complete all work, including furnishing all labor, equipment and services, unless otherwise specified herein, required under this contract for the firm fixed unit prices indicated below and within the time specified herein. The prices entered in Sub-Sections

B.7 below and into Attachment J.2.1 – Price Proposal Breakdown shall include all costs* for labor, profit, and, if applicable, value-added tax (VAT) and Defense Base Act Insurance (DBA).

The price set for each Task Order shall be a firm-fixed price. The task order price shall include any and all costs of labor, materials, equipment, services, travel expenses, insurance (including insurance required by section I and FAR 52.228-4, Workers’ Compensation and War-Hazard Insurance, which shall not be a direct reimbursement), bonds or project sureties, overhead, other indirect costs, and profit.

If applicable, value-added tax (VAT), any other tax required by the local Government, and Defense

Base Act Insurance (DBA) shall be specified and included as separate line items. Any costs not priced will be considered to be included in the overhead and other indirect costs.

*NOTE: The Contractor shall be solely responsible for obtaining and paying all costs associated with any Visas, work Visas, work permits and authorization to work in Germany during the entire period of performance of the contract.

B.4.2 Any costs not separately priced will be considered to be included in the individual task order prices as overhead or other indirect cost. No additional sums will be payable on account of any escalation in the cost of equipment, materials, 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 task order prices be adjusted on account of fluctuations in the currency exchange rates.

B.4.3. Changes in the individual task order prices or time to complete will be made only due to changes made by the Government, by delays caused by the USG as determined and approved.

by the Contracting Officer, or by mandatory changes by the host country government. (also see Section

F.8, “Excusable Delays”).

B.4.4 The currency in which the offer is made shall be specified under this solicitation and shall be inserted in Sub-Section B.8. The currency shall be fixed and cannot be changed by modification to the contract.

B.4.5 Offerors are also required to submit with their proposals an itemized Cost Breakdown as shown at Section J – Attachments: J.2.1.

B.5.1 VALUE ADDED TAX

The contractor shall be responsible for paying to the appropriate authority the applicable rate of Value

Added tax. If applicable, offerors shall identify Valued Added Taxes (VAT) as a separate Item Line in

Section B.3.1 Pricing and the detailed Price Breakdown - Attachment 2.

The VAT charged to the USG under the VAT line items should be the VAT that German law requires you, the Prime Contractor, to pay to its tax authorities. To be eligible for a VAT line item on this contract, you must provide a VAT registration number upon registration. If VAT is charged to you, the

Prime Contractor, by your local subcontractor, effectively VAT should be included as part of your cost proposal and reflected in Design and Construction CLINs.

Any VAT paid to the Contractor will result in the USG presenting the Contractor's invoice to local authorities for reimbursement of the output VAT under the terms of the Vienna Convention on

Diplomatic Relations. Therefore, please ensure you have authorization to collect VAT on behalf of

German authorities and verify that the amount is correct, as there will be no upward adjustments to the contract price. If local laws require VAT payment on only a small fraction of the contract amount, please share the relevant law and its implementing regulations with the USG Contracting Officer for review.

The contractor will be reimbursed for VAT only to the extend listed in the contract and upon contractor provides documentary proof that VAT has been paid to the host Government against a valid registration number and only up to the amount quoted in section B.3.1 and detailed Price Breakdown -

Attachment 2 Any refund to the contractor shall be paid over to the Government to the extent the

Government reimbursed the contractor for VAT payment.

The Contractor shall only insert VAT amounts in VAT CLINs if you have or will obtain a German

VAT registration number allowing you to collect VAT on behalf of the German authorities. If actual work will be performed by a subcontractor pursuant to DOSAR 652.242-73(b) and that party charges

VAT to you, the Contractor, then that is input VAT, which should be included as part of your price proposal in construction CLINs. In this case, VAT CLINs should reflect a VAT amount of $0.00.

The VAT shall also be reflected as a separate cost item on all invoices submitted under the resulting

Task Orders.

B.5.2 EXCISE TAX

James Zadroga 9/11 Victims Health and Compensation Act of 2010 Notice: Unless a waiver or exception applies, payments subsequent to this procurement are subject to an excise tax of 2% pursuant to 26 U.S.C. 5000C.
