SECTION C

DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATION/WORK STATEMENT

C.1. RESERVED

C.2. GROUP LIFE INSURANCE

The Government of the United States of America requires group life insurance coverage for its employees, as further described in C.2.2, in Serbia. The Government has determined that the prevailing practice by employers in Serbia is that group life insurance coverage is representative of locally prevailing compensation practice and that the cost of such insurance protection is usually borne by the employer.

Therefore, the Government desires to adopt such locally prevailing practice as part of its compensation plan for its employees as further described in C.2.2. The specific group insurance coverage under this contract is set forth in this part of Section C and the Attachments in Section J.

C.2.1. Group Life Insurance Coverage

The amount of group life insurance coverage is as follows:

The Government shall pay the entire premium, i.e., 100% of the premium.

C.2.1.1 Amount of Employee Life Insurance.

The amount of life insurance coverage for each employee is based upon the employee’s basic rate (monthly salary). Each employee is eligible for a face amount of coverage that is equal to 18 times his or her monthly basic salary at the time of death.

C.2.1.2 Amount of Natural and Accidental Death Coverage.

Death Benefit:

The following benefit will be paid to the participant's named beneficiaries or estate upon the death of the participant:

(1) Natural Death: 18 times the monthly basic rate (BR) at the time of death.

(2) Accidental Death: 18 times the monthly basic rate (BR) at the time of death.

C.2.1.3 Partial and Total Disability Coverage

(1) Full Disability: 18 times the monthly basic rate (BR)

(2) Partial Disability: not covered.

C.2.2 Life Insurance Benefits Conditions and Limitations

No benefits shall be payable if an employee's death or other insurance event was caused directly or indirectly by war. War shall be defined as declared or non-declared war or any martial operations or invasion, hostile acts of foreign powers, rebellion, riot, civil war, uprising, mutiny, operations by military or

U.S. Embassy Belgrade 19RB1026R0001 usurpatory authorities, martial law or state of siege or any other similar event or reason for declaring martial law or war. A terrorist attack shall not be considered war.

No benefit shall be payable under this contract if the employee's bodily injuries have been caused directly or indirectly and totally or partially by:

1. Violating the law or in resisting detention or arrest,

2. Participation in competitions involving the use of wheeled vehicles, horses, boats or water skis,

3. An accident resulting from the employee being under the influence of alcohol, drugs or other toxic substance unless administered by a physician. Death as a result of a disease or physical or mental infirmities and medical or surgical treatment thereof (except pyogenic infection due to an accidental cut or wound) shall be considered a natural and not an accidental death. Suicide will not be covered.

C.2.3. Eligible Participants

C.2.3.1 Eligible Employees. Eligible employees are Locally Employed (LE) Staff who are (1) working on a full-time or part-time basis under non-temporary direct-hire appointments and under personal services agreements/contracts that are not time limited to less than one year and (2) paid under the terms of the Local Compensation Plan.

C.2.3.3.2 All current active employees of the American Embassy Employee Recreation Association (AEERA) employees at Embassy Belgrade may be covered under a rider to the contract.

All costs for AEERA employees are the responsibility of the Employee Association, not the U.S.

C.2.6.2. Period of Ineligibility

Employees are not entitled to life insurance and disability benefits hereunder during any period of employment for which premiums are not paid.

During a period of extended (beyond one pay period) Leave Without Pay or unpaid leave where the employee is receiving payments from the LSSS (extended sick leave or maternity leave), the Mission will continue to pay for the full cost of the insurance premiums.

During a period of extended (beyond one pay period) Leave Without Pay or unpaid leave where the employee is not receiving pay from the Mission or the local government , the employee is responsible for the full cost of the insurance premiums. The Mission will pay the premiums directly to the contractor and will collect the full cost from the employee on a quarterly basis. Alternatively, the employee may elect to have coverage cease if that employee prefers not to pay the premium.

C.2.7. BROCHURE REQUIREMENT

C.2.7.1. The Contractor shall provide a document (brochure/pamphlet/other written document) in both English and Serbian languages that sets forth a complete listing of the life insurance benefits to be provided under this contract.

In all cases, the contract shall take precedence.

SECTION H

SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

H.1 SECURITY. On occasion, a Contractor employee may require entry into U.S. Government-owned or -operated facilities. If so, the Contractor should be prepared to provide the necessary identification to permit escorted access within that facility.

H.2 STANDARDS OF CONDUCT. The Contractor shall maintain satisfactory standards of employee competency, conduct, cleanliness, appearance, and integrity and shall be responsible for taking such disciplinary action with respect to employees as may be necessary. Each Contractor employee is to adhere to standards that reflect credit on themselves, their employer, and the United States Government.

H.3 ORDERING PROCEDURES. The Government will issue a task order as soon as possible after contract award to identify all employees to be covered by the insurance described in this contract and the coverage selected by each employee, including dependents to be covered. The COR will make subsequent additions or deletions to this list in writing and provide the revised list to the Contractor. All such revisions shall be consolidated, and a new or modified task order will be issued by the Contracting Officer. If any changes have been made to the coverage listing, the Government anticipates issuance of a new task order on a [ ] monthly, [X] quarterly basis. This new task order will include all changes made since the previous task order was issued and will include any increase or decrease in necessary funding. The changes to the list of eligible individuals will supersede the initial list provided under prior task orders without prejudice to the ineligibility clause. Task orders will indicate the effective date of employment, for purposes of calculating the premium due.

H.3.1 The ORE staff and AEERA employees under separate riders are not included under the task orders issued by the Contracting Officer. Because their coverage is under a rider, their employer is responsible for directly interacting with the Contractor to order any coverage for their employees. When contacted by the employer, the Contractor shall advise the employer of the paperwork and payment that will be necessary to order coverage for the identified individuals.

Because more than one employer may have ORE staff, the Contractor may be contacted by more than one employer (typically the Chief of Mission and Deputy Chief of Mission).

H.4. CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITY IN CLAIMS AND REIMBURSEMENT TO CLAIMANTS

General.
