7.0 SAFE AND CODE-COMPLAINT INTEGRATION

All work shall follow sound engineering practice, manufacturer guidance, and applicable safety and electrical standards, including applicable OSHA requirements (PPE, respiratory protection, electrical safety), NEC/NFPA electrical standards, and manufacturer chemical-handling requirements. Because this trade involves isocyanate-based (SPF) chemistry, high-pressure equipment, an on-board diesel generator, and confined-space work, the Contractor shall ensure that ventilation, respiratory protection staging (Sundström SR-series), fire suppression, eyewash, and first-aid provisions are functionally installed and demonstrates that generator exhaust and fuel storage are integrated safely. Every installed component and the fully assembled System shall be functionally tested and demonstrated to work before acceptance.

8.0 PLACE OF PERFORMANCE AND DELIVERY

The Veteran shall transport the Government-furnished trailer to the Contractor's installation site, located within six hundred (600) miles of Lincoln, NE. All Government-furnished components shall be delivered to that site for installation. The Contractor shall coordinate with the CO/COR regarding scheduling and delivery of the trailer and furnished property. Delivery of the completed end item and the point of inspection and acceptance shall be as established by the CO in the resulting contract.

9.0 PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE

The Contractor shall propose a milestone schedule tied to design, procurement, installation, testing/commissioning, and training. Total performance shall not exceed thirty (30) calendar days after delivery of the trailer to the installation site, unless otherwise approved in writing by the CO.

10.0 INSPECTION, ACCEPTANCE, AND QUALITY ASSURANCE

Following installation, inspection and acceptance of the end item shall include hands-on training to ensure the Veteran is independently able to start up, operate, adjust, perform basic-level troubleshooting and routine maintenance on the complete System. The Veteran shall receive all available manuals, technical specifications, start-up guides, and supporting documentation matching the System's final "as-built" configuration.

Final acceptance and payment shall occur only after the Contractor delivers the fully integrated end item, provides a full operational demonstration with training, and delivers all required documentation meeting the established acceptance criteria.

10.1 Deliverable Requirements:

To ensure the Government receives a fully functional, compliant, and operational System, the Contractor shall provide all deliverables identified in this section to validate that the System performs as proposed, is installed and configured correctly, and that the end user is fully prepared to operate and maintain the equipment in a safe and productive manner.

a. Verified Performance Test Results The Contractor shall furnish documented and validated performance test results for each individual component as well as for the fully assembled System. These results must confirm that all equipment meets or exceeds the technical specifications and verify that all subsystems function cohesively, safely, and in accordance with contractual requirements.

b. Training Verification The Contractor shall provide written verification confirming that the Veteran has received thorough hands-on training covering the operation, routine maintenance, and basic troubleshooting of all installed equipment. This verification ensures the end user is fully capable of using the System as intended.

c. As-Built Documentation Package The Contractor shall deliver a complete as-built documentation package that reflects the final installed configuration. This package must include manuals, specifications, start-up guides, and all other supporting technical documentation necessary for proper operation, maintenance, and future reference.

d. Warranty and Post-Delivery Support Consistent with the commercial warranty provisions, the Contractor shall provide a workmanship warranty on its integration labor and shall pass through or register all applicable manufacturer warranties on Contractor-supplied components. The Contractor shall provide a defined point of contact for post-delivery questions during the warranty period.

11.0 CHANGES

Any changes to this requirement shall be authorized and approved only through a written contractual modification executed by the Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall not act upon any verbal direction or instruction that would constitute a change to the contract terms and conditions. Any costs incurred as a result of unauthorized direction shall be borne solely by the Contractor.

(A) The date fixed under this contract.

(B) The date of the first written demand for payment, including any demand for payment resulting from a termination for cause.

The Contractor shall not be paid for any work performed or costs incurred which reasonably could have been avoided.

(1) Except as stated in paragraph (s)(2) of this clause, when any supply or service acquired under this contract is subject to any End User License Agreement (EULA), Terms of Service (TOS), or similar legal instrument or agreement, that includes any clause requiring the Government to indemnify the Contractor or any person or entity for damages, costs, fees, or any other loss or liability that would create an Anti-Deficiency Act violation (31 U.S.C. 1341), the following shall govern:

(i) Any such clause is unenforceable against the Government.

(ii) Neither the Government nor any Government-authorized end user shall be deemed to have agreed to such clause by virtue of it appearing in the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement. If the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement is invoked through an “I agree” click box or other comparable mechanism (e.g., “click-wrap” or “browse-wrap” agreements), execution does not bind the Government or any Government authorized end user to such clause.

(iii) Any such clause is deemed to be stricken from the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement.

(2) Paragraph (s)(1) of this clause does not apply to indemnification by the Government that is expressly authorized by statute and specifically authorized under applicable agency regulations and procedures.

(t) Comptroller General examination of record. This paragraph applies if this contract was awarded using other than sealed bid procedures and is in excess of the simplified acquisition threshold on the date of award of this contract.

(1) The Comptroller General of the United States, or an authorized representative of the Comptroller General, shall have access to and right to examine any of the Contractor’s directly pertinent records involving transactions related to this contract.

If this contract is completely or partially terminated, the records relating to the work terminated shall be made available for 3 years after any resulting final termination settlement. Records relating to appeals under the disputes clause or to litigation or the settlement of claims arising under or relating to this contract shall be made available until such appeals, litigation, or claims are finally resolved.

(3) As used in this clause, records include books, documents, accounting procedures and practices, and other data, regardless of type and regardless of form. This clause does not require the Contractor to create or maintain any record that the Contractor does not maintain in the ordinary course of business or pursuant to a provision of law.

(u) Incorporation by reference. The Contractor’s representations and certifications, including those completed electronically via the System for Award Management (SAM), are incorporated by reference into the contract.
