C.2. GROUP LIFE AND DISABILITY INSURANCE COVER

The Government of the United States of America requires group life insurance coverage for its employees, as further described in C.2.2, in Botswana.

The specific group insurance coverage under this contract is set forth in this part of

Section C and the Attachments in Section J – A, B and C.

Funeral Benefit:

The cost of funeral benefits is included in the life insurance payment.

G.2.3. The COR has the additional responsibility of maintaining the eligible listing of employees and dependents for insurance coverage.

G.2.4 The COR may not change the terms and conditions of the contract. While the

COR is authorized to provide the Contractor with updated listings of eligible employees and dependents, only the Contracting Officer may modify existing task orders or issue new task orders, reflecting these changes, since only the Contracting Officer can obligate funding and commit the Government.

G.3. Payment shall be made in BWP local currency.

Contractor may submit invoices monthly for payment to be made at the beginning of the month for which insurance coverage is provided in accordance with FAR 32.404.

G.4.3. U.S. Government Employees. The Government shall make payments directly to the Contractor for all Government employees, whether or not the employee is contributing to the premium amount.

G.4.5. RESERVED.

G.5 REFUNDS TO THE GOVERNMENT

If at any time during performance of the contract the Government finds that the Contractor has been overpaid because the number of employees covered has decreased, the Contracting Officer may either allow that overpayment to be credited to the Government’s account or require that the

Contractor refund the overpayment. If the Contracting Officer requests a refund, the Contractor shall make that refund to the Government within ten calendar days of receipt of the request.

G.6 VALUE ADDED TAX (VAT). The Contractor shall include VAT as a separate charge on the Invoice and as a separate line item in Section B.

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 Peace Corps LE Staff and the ORE staff, 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).

CLAIMANTS

General.

The Contractor shall be responsible for all planning, estimating, programming, project management, scheduling, dispatching, supervision, and inspection of work.

These reports shall report on the previous month's activities.

H.6.1. General. The Contractor shall take all such steps as are necessary, and obtain and pay for all permits, taxes and fees as are required by the Botswana government to establish and/or operate a commercial venture locally.

Government prefers. The Contractor shall refund any refunds not complete or discovered after the completion date of this contract.
