2012)

(a) The Contracting Officer may appoint other Government personnel to accomplish certain contract administration matters. While there shall be various titles and divisions of duties for these individuals, generically they are known as Contracting Officer's Representatives (CORs). The Contracting Officer will provide written notice of COR appointment(s), setting forth the authorities and limitations, to the Contractor within 5 calendar days prior to the notice to proceed.

Section H - Special Contract Requirements Clause List

3.1.9-1 ELECTRONIC COMMERCE AND SIGNATURE (JUL 2020)

(a) The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN) establishes a legal equivalence between:

(1) Contracts written on paper and contracts in electronic form;

(2) Pen-and-ink signatures and electronic signatures; and

(3) Other legally-required written records and the same information in electronic form.

(b) With the submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges and accepts the utilization of electronic commerce as part of the requirements of this solicitation and the resultant contract.

(c) Certain documents may need to be provided or maintained in original form, such as large-scale drawings impractical to convert to electronic format or a document with a raised seal signifying authenticity. This clause does not change or affect any other requirements that a document must be in paper format to satisfy legal requirements such as for certain real estate transactions.

(d) The use of electronic signature technology is authorized under this solicitation and the resulting contract.

(e) Contractors must not digitally sign any documents with software that uses the Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA- 1). All digitally signed documents and contracts sent to the FAA must use a SHA-256 or higher hash algorithm. This is based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Policy Statement on Hash Functions dated August 5, 2015. Further guidance on the use of SHA-256 is in NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-57 Part 1, section

5.6.2 as amended and SP 800-131A, Revision 1 dated November 6, 2015. Additional guidance on the use of SHA-3 is in NIST SP 800-185 as amended.

(f) Contractors do not have to update documents previously digitally signed using SHA-1 hash algorithms unless the document requires updating. The FAA and contractors may continue to use SHA-1 for the following applications:

Verifying old digital signatures and time stamps, generating and verifying hash-based message authentication codes (HMACs), key derivation functions (KDFs), and random bit/number generation.

(End of clause)

3.3.1-33 SYSTEM FOR AWARD MANAGEMENT (OCT 2021)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause

"Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number" means the 9-digit number assigned by Dun and Bradstreet, Inc. (D&B) to identify unique business entities.

"Data Universal Numbering System +4 (DUNS+4) number" means the DUNS number assigned by D&B plus a 4-character suffix that may be assigned by a business concern. (D&B has no affiliation with this 4-character suffix.)

This 4-character suffix may be assigned at the discretion of the business concern to establish additional SAM records for identifying alternative Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) accounts for the same parent concern.

"Registered in the SAM database" means that the Contractor has entered all mandatory information, including the DUNS number or the DUNS+4 number, into the SAM database.

"System for Award Management (SAM) Database" means the primary Government repository for Contractor information required for the conduct of business with the Government.

(b)(1) By submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges the requirement that a prospective awardee must be registered in the SAM database prior to award, during performance, and through final payment of any contract, basic agreement, basic ordering agreement, or blanket purchasing agreement resulting from this solicitation.

(2) The offeror must enter, in Representations, Certifications and Other Statements of Offerors Section of the solicitation, the DUNS or DUNS +4 number that identifies the offeror's name and address exactly as stated in the offer. The DUNS number will be used by the Contracting Officer to verify that the offeror is registered in the SAM database.

(c) If the offeror does not have a DUNS number, it should contact Dun and Bradstreet directly to obtain one.

(1) An offeror may obtain a DUNS number (i) If located within the United States, by calling Dun and Bradstreet at 1-866-705-5711 or via the Internet at http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform; or (ii) If located outside the United States, by contacting the local Dun and Bradstreet office.

(2) The offeror should be prepared to provide the following information: (i) Company legal business. (ii) Tradestyle, doing business, or other name by which your entity is commonly recognized. (iii) Company Physical Street Address, City, State, and ZIP Code. (iv) Company Mailing Address, City, State and ZIP Code (if different from physical street address). (v) Company Telephone Number. (vi) Date the company was started. (vii) Number of employees at your location. (viii) Chief executive officer/key manager. (ix) Line of business (industry). (x) Company Headquarters name and address (reporting relationship within your entity).

(d) If the offeror does not become registered in the SAM database in the time prescribed by the Contracting Officer, the Contracting Officer may proceed to award to the next otherwise successful registered offeror.

(e) Processing time, which normally takes 48 hours, should be taken into consideration when registering. Offerors who are not registered should consider applying for registration immediately upon receipt of this solicitation.

(f) The Contractor is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the data within the SAM database, and for any liability resulting from the Government's reliance on inaccurate or incomplete data. To remain registered in the SAM database after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates its information in the SAM database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating information in the SAM does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document. If registered in SAM as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), by submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges that they are designated as a SDVOSB by the Department of Veterans Affairs, and this designation appears as such on the Veteran Affairs website, https://vetbiz.va.gov/vip//.

(g)(1)(i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, "doing business as" name, or division name (whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name agreements in AMS Procurement Guidance, the Contractor must provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day's written notification of its intention to:

(A) Change the name in the SAM database; (B) Comply with the requirements of AMS regarding novation and change-of-name agreements; and (C) Agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the responsible Contracting Officer. The Contractor must provide the Contracting Officer with the notification, sufficient documentation to support the legally changed name.

(ii) If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (g)(1)(i) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at paragraph (g)(1)(i)(C) of this clause, and, in the absence of a properly executed novation or change-of-name agreement, the SAM information that shows the Contractor to be other than the Contractor indicated in the contract will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the "Suspension of Payment" paragraph of the electronic funds transfer (EFT) clause of this contract.

(2) The Contractor must not change the name or address for EFT payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the SAM record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims. Assignees must be separately registered in the SAM database. Information provided to the Contractor's SAM record that indicates payments, including those made by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that Contractor will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the "Suspension of payment" paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract.

(h) Offerors and Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via the internet at http://www.sam.gov.

(End of Clause)

3.3.2-1 FAA COST PRINCIPLES (OCT 2019)

(a) Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) "Contract Cost Principles" must be used for:

(1) The pricing of contracts, subcontracts, and modifications to contracts and subcontracts whenever cost analysis is performed; and

(4) Price revision of fixed-price incentive contracts;

(5) Price redetermination of price redetermination contracts; and

(6) Pricing changes and other contract modifications.

(c) When division or corporate contract administration responsibilities rest with another Government agency, the FAA will apply the cost principles of the administering agency for the determination or negotiation of indirect rates not covered by (2)(ii) or (2)(iii) above.

(d) Upon request, the Contracting Officer will provide a copy of the FAA "Contract Cost Principles."

(End of clause)

3.4.1-4 PERFORMANCE BOND REQUIREMENTS (JAN 2017)

(a) The contractor is required to submit a performance bond in a penal amount equal to 100 percent of the contract price, but for this contract the amount required by the Contracting Officer is equal to the award.

(iv) American Indian or Alaskan Native (all persons having origins in any of the original peoples of North America and maintaining identifiable tribal affiliations through membership and participation or community identification).

(b) If the Contractor, or a subcontractor at any tier, subcontracts a portion of the work involving any construction trade, each such subcontract in excess of $10,000 must include this clause, including the goals for minority and female participation stated herein.

(c) The goals for minority and female participation, expressed in percentage terms for the Contractor's aggregate work force in each trade on all construction work in the covered area, are as follows:

Goals for minority participation: 69.1% Goals for female participation: 6.9% (Contracting Officer insert goals)

Compliance with the goals will be measured against the total work hours performed.

(d) The Contractor must provide written notification to the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) area office within 10 working days following award of any construction subcontract in excess of $10,000 at any tier for construction work under the contract resulting from this screening information request. The notification must list the:

(1) Name, address, and telephone number of the subcontractor,

(2) Employer identification number of the subcontractor;

(3) Estimated dollar amount of the subcontract;

(4) Estimated starting and completion dates of the subcontract; and

(5) Geographical area in which the subcontract is to be performed.

(e) The Contractor must implement the affirmative action procedures in subparagraphs (f)(1) through (7) of this clause. The goals stated in this contract are expressed as percentages of the total hours of employment and training of minority and female utilization that the Contractor should reasonably be able to achieve in each construction trade in which it has employees in the covered area. If the contractor performs construction work in a geographical area located outside of the covered area, it must apply the goals established for the geographical area where that work is actually performed. The Contractor is expected to make substantially uniform progress toward its goals in each craft.

(f) The contractor must take affirmative action steps at least as extensive as the following:

(1) Ensure a working environment free of harassment, intimidation, and coercion at all sites, and in all facilities where the Contractor's employees are assigned to work. The Contractor, if possible, will assign two or more women to each construction project. The Contractor must ensure foremen, superintendents, and other on-site supervisory personnel are aware of and carry out the Contractor's obligation to maintain such a working environment, with specific attention to minority or female individuals working at these sites or facilities.

(2) Immediately notify the OFCCP area office when the union or unions, with which the Contractor has a collective bargaining agreement, has not referred back to the Contractor a minority or woman sent by the Contractor, or when the Contractor has other information that the union referral process has impeded the Contractor's efforts to meet its obligations.

(3) Develop on-the-job training opportunities and/or participate in training programs for the area that expressly include minorities and women, including upgrading programs and apprenticeship and trainee programs relevant to the Contractor's employment needs, especially those programs funded or approved by the Department of Labor. The Contractor must provide notice of these programs to the sources compiled under subparagraph (f)(2) above.

(4) Review, at least annually, the Contractor's equal employment policy and affirmative action obligations with all employees having responsibility for hiring, assignment, layoff, termination, or other employment decisions. Conduct reviews of this policy with all on-site supervision, personnel prior to initiation of construction work at a job site. A written record must be made and maintained identifying the time and place of these meetings, persons attending, subject matter discussed, and disposition of the subject matter.

(5) Disseminate the Contractor's equal employment policy externally by including it in any advertising in the news media, specifically including minority and female news media. Provide written notification to, and discuss this policy with, other Contractors and subcontractors with which the Contractor does or anticipates doing business.

(6) Conduct, at least annually, an inventory and evaluation at least of all minority and female personnel for promotional opportunities. Encourage these employees to seek or to prepare for, through appropriate training, etc., opportunities for promotion.

(7) Maintain a record of solicitations for subcontracts for minority and female construction contractors and suppliers, including circulation of solicitations to minority and -female contractor associations and other business associations.

(g) The Contractor is encouraged to participate in voluntary associations that may assist in fulfilling one or more of the affirmative action obligations contained in subparagraphs (f)(1) through (7). The efforts of a contractor association, joint contractor-union, contractor-community, or similar group of which the contractor is a member and participant, may be useful in achieving one or more of its obligations under subparagraphs (f)(1) through (7).

(h) A single goal for minorities and a separate single goal for women must be established. The Contractor is required to provide equal employment opportunity and to take affirmative action for all minority groups, both male and female, and all women, both minority and non-minority. Consequently, the Contractor may be in violation of Executive Order 11246, as amended, if a particular group is employed in a substantially disparate manner.

(i) The contractor must not use goals or affirmative action standards to discriminate against any person because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.

(j) The Contractor must not enter into any subcontract with any person or firm debarred from Government contracts under Executive Order 11246, as amended.

(k) The Contractor must carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of this clause and of the Nondiscrimination and Affirmative Action clause, including suspension, termination, and cancellation of existing subcontracts, as may be imposed or ordered under Executive Order 11246, as amended, and its implementing regulations, by the OFCCP. Any failure to carry out these sanctions and penalties as ordered must be a violation of this clause and Executive Order 11246, as amended.

(l) Nothing contained herein must not be construed as a limitation upon the application of other laws that establish different standards of compliance.

3.6.4-3 BUY AMERICAN ACT - CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS (JAN 2022)

(a) The Buy American Act (41 U.S.C. §§ 8301-8305) and Executive Order No. 10582, dated December 17, 1954, as amended, provide that the Government give preference to domestic construction material. The restrictions of the Buy American Act do not apply when FAA determines use of a particular domestic construction material: (i) would unreasonably increase the cost (the cost of particular domestic construction material subject to the requirements of the Buy American Act is unreasonable when the cost of such material exceeds the cost of foreign material by more than 20 percent, unless the agency head determines a higher percentage would be appropriate); (ii) would be impracticable; (iii) is not mined, produced, or manufactured in sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities of a satisfactory quality, or (iv) where the FAA Administrator has determined in writing that application of the Buy American Act to a construction material is not in the public interest. This restriction also does not apply to information technology that is a commercial item or to the construction materials or components listed by the Government as follows

None

(b) Definitions:

(1) "Components," as used in this clause, means those articles, materials, and supplies incorporated directly into construction materials.

(2) "Construction material," as used in this clause, means an article, material, or supply brought to the construction site for incorporation into the building or work. Construction material also includes an item brought to the site pre-assembled from articles, materials or supplies. However, emergency life safety systems, such as emergency lighting, fire alarm, and audio evacuation systems, which are discrete systems incorporated into a public building or work and which are produced as a complete system, will be evaluated as a single and distinct construction material regardless of when or how the individual parts or components of such systems are delivered to the construction site.

(3) "Domestic construction material," as used in this clause, means (i) an unmanufactured construction material mined or produced in the United States, or (ii) a construction material manufactured in the United States, if the cost of its components mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States exceeds 55 percent of the cost of all its components. Components of foreign origin of the same class or kind as the construction materials determined to be unavailable will be treated as domestic.

(c) The Contractor agrees that only domestic construction material must be used by the Contractor, subcontractors, material men, and suppliers in the performance of this contract, except for foreign construction materials, if any, listed in this contract.

(d) Request for determination of inapplicability of the Buy American Act:

(ii) Unit of measure;

(iii) Quantity;

(iv) Price;

(v) Time of delivery or availability;

(2) Unreasonable Cost. A request based on unreasonable cost must include a reasonable survey of the market and a completed price comparison table in the format of paragraph (7) below.

The price of construction material must include all delivery costs to the construction site and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free certificate may be issued).

(3) Non-Availability Determination Waiver Approvals - In accordance with AMS Guidance T3.6.4A.3 b (3) (c), if the construction material is not being mined, produced, or manufactured in the U.S. in sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities or of a satisfactory quality, the use of the proposed foreign construction material must also be approved by the FAA Acquisition Executive (FAE) and reviewed by the Office of Management and

Budget (OMB) Made in America Office (MIAO). If a contractor is requesting a determination on this basis, the following additional information must be submitted in support of such a request:

(i) Country(ies) of origin and U.S. content (if any), of foreign end item or materials intended for purchase, if known;

(ii) The estimated value of the procurement (or portion of the procurement) covered by the waiver; and

(iii) As part of the justification provided under (d) (1) (viii) above, fully describe the market research activities and methods used to identify domestically manufactured items or materials capable of satisfying the requirement, including the timing of the research and conclusions reached on the availability of sources . This must include a description of all efforts at competition for the items or materials, how long the requirement was open for competition, and identification of any potential domestic sources that did not compete along with the reason why (if known).

(4) Any Contractor request for a determination submitted after contract award must additionally explain why the Contractor could not reasonably have foreseen the need for such a determination and could not have requested the determination before contract award. If the Contractor does not provide a satisfactory explanation, the Contracting Officer need not make a favorable determination.

(5) If the Government determines after contract award that an exception to the Buy American Act applies, any required waiver is approved, and the Contracting Officer and the Contractor negotiate adequate consideration, the Contracting Officer will modify the contract to allow use of the foreign construction material.

(6) Unless the Government determines that an exception to the Buy American Act applies, use of foreign construction material is noncompliant with the Buy American Act

(7) Data. To permit evaluation of requests under paragraph (c) of this clause based on unreasonable cost, the Contractor must include the following information and any applicable supporting data based on the survey of suppliers:

FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC MATERIAL PRICE COMPARISON

(3) In the case of the procurement of facilities and equipment under the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982, (i) the cost of components and subcomponents which are produced in the United States is more than 60 percent of the cost of all components to be delivered under this contract, and (ii) final assembly of the facility or equipment to be delivered under this contract has taken place in the United States; or

(4) That inclusion of domestic material will increase the cost of the overall contract by more than 25 percent.

(c) In calculating components' costs, labor costs involved in final assembly will not be included in the calculation.

(d) This clause takes precedence over the provisions of clause "Buy American Act--Supplies" and clause "Buy American Act--Construction Materials" in respect to their applicability to steel and manufactured products.

(e) The offeror warrants that steel and manufactured products to be used in the project are produced in the United States, and that components of unknown origin are considered to have been produced or manufactured outside the United States.
