B.1 SCOPE

The Contractor is to provide labor, materials, and supervision to complete work at the Minneapolis (ZMP) ARTCC in Farmington, Minnesota. All work shall be in accordance with FAA Specification, Drawings, and Wage Determinations.

The Prime Contractor is responsible for all items of work identified in the attached FAA Specification provisions of the Contract as described in Section J.

Section C - Description/Specifications See Section J, Attachments:

1. "ZMP ARTCC Various Power Panel Specifications" dated November 2024

Section D - Packaging and Marking

Section E - Inspection and Acceptance

3.10.4-10 INSPECTION OF CONSTRUCTION (SEP 2009)

(a) 'Work' includes, but is not limited to, materials, workmanship, and manufacture and fabrication of components.

(b) The Contractor shall maintain an adequate inspection system and perform such inspections as will ensure that the work performed under the contract conforms to contract requirements. The Contractor shall maintain complete inspection records and make them available to the Government. All work shall be conducted under the general direction of the Contracting Officer and is subject to Government inspection and test at all places and at all reasonable times before acceptance to ensure strict compliance with the terms of the contract.

(c) Government inspections and tests are for the sole benefit of the Government and do not--

(1) Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for providing adequate quality control measures;

(2) Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for damage to or loss of the material before acceptance;

(3) Constitute or imply acceptance; or

(4) Affect the continuing rights of the Government after acceptance of the completed work under paragraph (i) below.

(d) The presence or absence of a Government inspector does not relieve the Contractor from any contract requirement, nor is the inspector authorized to change any term or condition of the specification without the Contracting Officer's written authorization.

(e) The Contractor shall promptly furnish, without additional charge, all facilities, labor, and material reasonably needed for performing such safe and convenient inspections and tests as may be required by the Contracting Officer.

The Government may charge to the Contractor any additional cost of inspection or test when work is not ready at the time specified by the Contractor for inspection or test, or when prior rejection makes reinspection or retest necessary. The Government shall perform all inspections and tests in a manner that will not unnecessarily delay the work. Special, full size, and performance tests shall be performed as described in the contract.

(f) The Contractor shall, without charge, replace or correct work found by the Government not to conform to contract requirements, unless the Government determines that it is in the public interest to accept the work with an appropriate adjustment in contract price. The Contractor shall promptly segregate and remove rejected material from the premises.

(g) If the Contractor does not promptly replace or correct rejected work, the Government may:

(1) by contract or otherwise, replace or correct the work and charge the cost to the Contractor or

(2) terminate for default the Contractor's right to proceed.

(h) If, before acceptance of the entire work, the Government decides to examine already completed work by removing it or tearing it out, the Contractor, on request, shall promptly furnish all necessary facilities, labor, and material. If the work is found to be defective or nonconforming in any material respect due to the fault of the Contractor or its subcontractors, the Contractor shall defray the expenses of the examination and of satisfactory reconstruction. However, if the work is found to meet contract requirements, the Contracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment for the additional services involved in the examination and reconstruction, including, if completion of the work was thereby delayed, an extension of time.

(i) Unless otherwise specified in the contract, the Government shall accept, as promptly as practicable after completion and inspection, all work required by the contract or that portion of the work the Contracting Officer determines can be accepted separately. Acceptance shall be final and conclusive except for latent defects, fraud, gross mistakes amounting to fraud, or the Government's rights under any warranty or guarantee.

(j) In the absence of any formal disputes, a project will be deemed physically and financially complete within one year after final acceptance and excess funds will be deobligated at that time.

(End of clause)

Section F - Deliveries or Performance

3.10.1-24 NOTICE OF DELAY (MAR 2009)

If the Contractor becomes unable to complete the contract work at the time(s) specified because of technical difficulties, notwithstanding the exercise of good faith and diligent efforts in the performance of the work called for hereunder, the contractor shall give the Contracting officer written notice of the anticipated delay and the reasons therefor. Such notice and reasons shall be delivered promptly after the condition creating the anticipated delay becomes known to the contractor, but in no event less than forty-five (45) days before the completion date specified in this contract, unless otherwise directed by the Contracting Officer. When notice is so required, the Contracting officer may extend the time specified in the Schedule for such period as deemed advisable.

Section H - Special Contract Requirements

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)

3.2.2.3-50 PROPERTY PROTECTION (JUL 2024)

(a) The Contractor must construct and maintain any temporary fences, gates and other facilities needed to preserve crops, control livestock, and protect property. Before cutting a fence, the Contractor must take necessary precautions to prevent livestock from straying. The Contractor must prevent loss of tension in or damage to adjacent portions of the fence. The Contractor must immediately replace all fencing and gates cut, removed, damaged, or destroyed with new materials to the original standard. Undamaged gates may be reused.

(b) The Contractor must comply with the property owner's requests to leave gates open or closed.

(c) The Contractor must use all necessary precautions to avoid destroying surveying markers such as section corners, witness trees, property corners, mining claim markers, bench markers, triangulation stations, and the like. If the Contractor must destroy any marker, the Contractor must first notify the agency responsible for the marker, as well as the Contracting Officer's (CO) representative, and replace the markers.

(d) The Contractor must use care to prevent unnecessary damage to property in or near the work area caused by the Contractor's work. Unnecessary damage is that which the Contractor can avoid through efficient and careful performance of the work, considering the Contractor's land rights. If the Contractor damages any property, the Contractor must at once notify the owner or custodian and make or arrange to make prompt and full restitution.

(e) Maps and specifications the FAA provides may not give the location of all water supply, drainage, irrigation, and other underground facilities. Before entering a tract of land for contract purposes, the Contractor must determine from the property owner (or other reasonably available source) the location of any irrigation system, domestic water system, source of water, and drainage system existing on the property, whether serving that property or other property. The Contractor must avoid damaging or obstructing these facilities or polluting water supplies.

(f) The Contractor must hold the FAA harmless from any and all suits, actions, and claims for damages, including environmental impairment, to property arising from any of the Contractor's acts or omissions, the Contractor's subcontractors, or any of the Contractor's employees or subcontractor employees, in any way related to the work or operations under this contract.

(g) The Contractor must indemnify and hold harmless the property owners or parties lawfully in possession against all claims or liabilities asserted by third parties, including all governmental agencies, resulting directly or indirectly from the Contractor's wrongful or negligent acts or omissions.

3.2.2.3-56 SCHEDULES FOR CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS (JUL 2024)

3.2.2.3-60 SPECIFICATIONS, DRAWINGS, AND MATERIAL OFFERS (JUL 2024)

(a) If either the specifications or the drawings (but not both) mention tasks, the Contractor must assume that the tasks are in both. If the drawings and specifications differ, the specifications govern. If there is a discrepancy in the figures, in the drawings, or in the specifications, the Contractor must submit the matter promptly to the Contracting Officer (CO), who will promptly determine which governs, and notify the Contractor in writing. Any adjustment made by the Contractor without the CO's determination is at the Contractor's own risk and expense. As needed, the CO will provide necessary detailed drawings and other information, unless otherwise provided.

(b) Wherever in the specifications or the drawings, the FAA uses "directed," "required," "ordered," "designated," "prescribed," or similar words, they refer to the CO's requirements. Similarly, "approved," "acceptable," "satisfactory," or similar words refer to the CO's approval, unless otherwise expressly stated. The Contractor must have a complete set of plans and specifications on-site and available for the FAA's use.

(c) Where the FAA uses "as shown," "as indicated," "as detailed," or similar words, they refer to the drawings accompanying this contract, unless stated otherwise. The word "provided" means "provided and installed."

(d) Omissions from the drawings and specifications or the erroneous description of details of work which are necessary to carry out the intent of the drawings and specifications, or which are customarily performed, does not relieve the Contractor from performing those omitted or erroneously described details of the work. The Contractor must perform them as if fully and correctly set forth and described in the drawings and specifications.

(e) The Contractor must check all drawings the FAA provides before starting work and must promptly notify the CO of any discrepancies. In general, the Contractor should follow figures marked on drawings, rather than scale measurements. In general, large-scale drawings have precedence over small-scale drawings. The Contractor must compare all drawings and verify the figures before laying out the work. If the Contractor does not verify the figures, the Contractor will be responsible for any errors that might have been avoided had it verified them.

(f) "Shop drawings" means drawings, the Contractor or any subcontractor submit to the FAA under a construction contract, showing in detail the proposed fabrication and assembly of structural elements and the installation (that is, form, fit, and attachment details) of materials or equipment. It includes drawings, diagrams, layouts, schematics, descriptive literature, illustrations, schedules, performance and test data, and similar materials the Contractor provided to explain in detail specific portions of the work the contract requires.

The FAA may duplicate, use, and disclose in any manner and for any purpose shop drawings you deliver under this contract.

(g) If this contract requires material offers (for example, shop drawings, catalog cuts, certificates of conformance), the Contractor must coordinate all of its offers, and review them for accuracy, completeness, and compliance with contract requirements. The Contractor must provide evidence that it approves the submittals. If the Contractor submits materials to the FAA without this evidence, the FAA may return them and ask the Contractor to resubmit the materials. The CO will indicate whether he or she approves or disapproves the offer, and if the CO does not approve it as submitted, will indicate the reasons for rejecting it. Any work done before the CO's approval is at the Contractor's risk. The CO's approval does not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for any errors or omissions in the submittals, nor from responsibility for complying with the contract requirements, except as described under (h).

(h) If the submittals vary from the contract requirements, the Contractor must describe the variations in writing, separate from the submittal, when it submits them. Send this description, a copy of the offer, and a proposal to incorporate it into the contract directly to the CO. If the CO approves a variation, the CO must issue an appropriate contract modification, unless the variation is minor or does not involve a change in price or in time of performance.

(i) The Contractor must submit to the CO for approval four copies (unless otherwise indicated) of all shop drawings as called for under the various headings of these specifications. The CO will keep three sets (unless otherwise indicated) of all offers and will return one set to the Contractor.

(j) The Contractor must insert this clause, with appropriate changes in the designation of the parties, in all subcontracts.

3.3.1-2 PAYMENTS UNDER FIXED-PRICE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS (OCT 2024)

(a) The FAA will pay the Contractor the contract price as provided in this contract.

(b) The FAA will make financing payments monthly as the work proceeds, or at more frequent intervals as determined by the Contracting Officer (CO), on estimates of work accomplished that meets the standards of quality established under the contract, as approved by the CO. The Contractor must furnish a breakdown of the total contract price showing the amount included therein for each principal category of the work, which must substantiate the payment amount requested in order to provide a basis for determining financing payments, in such detail as requested by the CO. In the preparation of estimates, the CO may authorize material delivered on the site and preparatory work done to be taken into consideration. Material delivered to the Contractor at locations other than the site may also be taken into consideration if --

(1) Consideration is specifically authorized by this contract; and

(2) The Contractor furnishes satisfactory evidence that it has acquired title to such material and that the material will be used to perform this contract.

(c) Along with each request for financing payments, the contractor must furnish the following certification, or payment will not be made:

I hereby certify, to the best of my knowledge and belief, that-

(1) The amounts requested are only for performance in accordance with the specifications, terms, and conditions of the contract;

(2) Payments to subcontractors and suppliers have been made from previous payments received under the contract, and timely payments will be made from the proceeds of the payment covered by this certification, in accordance with subcontract agreements and the requirements of chapter 39 of Title 31, United States Code; and

(3) This request for financing payments does not include any amounts that the prime contractor intends to withhold or retain from a subcontractor or supplier in accordance with the terms and conditions of the subcontract.

(Name) (Title) (Date)

(d) If the Contractor, after making a certified request for financing payments, discovers that a portion or all of such request constitutes a payment for performance by the Contractor that fails to conform to the specifications, terms, and conditions of this contract (hereinafter referred to as the unearned amount), the Contractor must-

(1) Notify the CO of such performance deficiency;

(2) Be obligated to pay the FAA an amount (computed by the CO in the manner provided in "Interest" clause) equal to interest on the unearned amount from the date of receipt of the unearned amount until-

(i) The date the Contractor notifies the CO that the performance deficiency has been corrected; or

(ii) The date the Contractor reduces the amount of any subsequent certified request for financing payments by an amount equal to the unearned amount.

(e) If the CO finds that satisfactory progress was achieved during any period for which a progress payment is to be made, the CO will authorize payment to be made in full. However, if satisfactory progress has not been made, the CO may retain a maximum of 10 percent of the amount of the payment until satisfactory progress is achieved. When the work is substantially complete, the CO may retain from previously withheld funds and future financing payments that amount the CO considers adequate for protection of the FAA and will release to the Contractor all the remaining withheld funds. Also, on completion and acceptance of each separate building, public work, or other division of the contract, for which the price is stated separately in the contract, payment will be made for the completed work without retention of a percentage.

(f) All material and work covered by financing payments made will, at the time of payment, become the sole property of the FAA, but this will not be construed as--

(1) Relieving the Contractor from the sole responsibility for all material and work upon which payments have been made or the restoration of any damaged work; or

(2) Waiving the right of the FAA to require the fulfillment of all the terms of the contract.

(g) In making these financing payments, the FAA will, upon request, reimburse the Contractor for the amount of premiums paid for performance and payment bonds (including coinsurance and reinsurance agreements, when applicable) after the Contractor has furnished evidence of full payment to the surety. The retainage provisions in paragraph (e) above will not apply to that portion of financing payments attributable to bond premiums.

(h) The FAA will pay the amount due the Contractor under this contract after-

(1) Completion and acceptance of all work;

(2) Presentation of a properly executed voucher; and

(3) Presentation of release of all claims against the FAA arising by virtue of this contract, other than claims, in stated amounts, that the Contractor has specifically excepted from the operation of the release. A release may also be required of the assignee if the Contractor's claim to amounts payable under this contract has been assigned.

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause

"Registered in the SAM database" means that the Contractor has entered all mandatory information, including the Unique Identity Identifier (UEI) or the Electronic Funds Transfer indicator, 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.

"Unique Entity Identifier (UEI)" (also known as the Unique Entity ID) means a number or other identifier used to identify a specific commercial, nonprofit, or Government entity. See www.sam.gov for the designated entity for establishing unique entity identifiers.

"Electronic Funds Transfer indicator" means a 4-character suffix to the Unique Entity Identifier. 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.

(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 UEI or EFT indicator that identifies the offeror's name and address exactly as stated in the offer. The UEI 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 UEI, it should contact www.sam.gov directly to obtain one.

The offeror should be prepared to provide the following information:

(1) Company legal business name.

(2) Tradestyle, doing business, or other name by which your entity is commonly recognized.

(3) Company Physical Street Address, City, State, and ZIP Code.

(4) Company Mailing Address, City, State and ZIP Code (if different from physical street address).

(5) Company Telephone Number.

(6) Date the company was started.

(7) Number of employees at your location.

(8) Chief executive officer/key manager.

(9) Line of business (industry).

(10) 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 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 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 certified as an SDVOSB under the Small Business Administration's Veteran Small Business Certification Program (VetCert).

(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.

Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under section 1(b)(2) of the Davis-Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of paragraph (d) of this clause; also, regular contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs which cover the particular weekly period are deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such period. Such laborers and mechanics must be paid not less than the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits in the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in the clause titled "Apprentices and Trainees." Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for the time actually worked therein; provided, that the employer's payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in each classification in which work is performed.

(b) Additional wage classifications.

(1) The Contracting Officer (CO) may require that any class of laborers or mechanics which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed under the contract must be classified in conformance with the wage determination. The CO may approve an additional classification, and wage rate and fringe benefits, therefore, only when all the following criteria have been met:

(A) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry.

(B) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage determination.

(2) If the Contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known), or their representatives, and the CO agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken must be sent by the CO to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, Washington, DC 20210. The Administrator or an authorized representative will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification action within 30 days of receipt and so advise the CO or will notify the CO within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary.

(3) In the event the Contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the classification, or their representatives, and the CO do not agree on the proposed classification and wage rate (including the amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), the CO may refer the questions, including the views of all interested parties and the recommendation of the CO, to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division for determination.
