(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.

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.

WA0009 WARRANTY OF SUPPLIES

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause-

'Acceptance' means the act of an authorized representative of the Government by which the Government assumes for itself, or as an agent of another, ownership of existing supplies, or approves specific services as partial or complete performance of the contract.

'Supplies' means the end items furnished by the Contractor and related services required under this contract. The word does not include 'data.'

(b) Contractor's obligations

(1) The Contractor shall extend to the Government the full coverage of any standard warranty normally offered in a similar sale, provided such warranty is available at no additional cost to the Government. Acceptance of the standard warranty does not waive the Government's rights under any ""Inspection"" clause that may be in the contract nor does it limit the Government's rights with regard to the other terms and conditions of this contract. In the event of a conflict, the terms and conditions of the contract shall take precedence over the standard warranty. The standard warranty period shall begin upon final acceptance of the applicable material and/or services listed in the Schedule F .

The Contractor shall provide a copy of its standard warranty (if applicable) with its offer. The warranty covers a period of 15 months. Notwithstanding inspection and acceptance by the Government of supplies furnished under this contract, or any condition of this contract concerning the conclusiveness thereof, the Contractor warrants that for a minimum of at least 15 months

(i) All supplies furnished under this contract will be free from defects in material or workmanship and will conform with all requirements of this contract; and

(ii) The preservation, packaging, packing, and marking, and the preparation for, and method of, shipment of such supplies will conform with the requirements of this contract.

(2) When return, correction, or replacement is required, transportation charges and responsibility for the supplies while in transit shall be borne by the Contractor. However, the Contractor's liability for the transportation charges shall not exceed an amount equal to the cost of transportation by the usual commercial method of shipment between the place of delivery specified in this contract and the Contractor's plant, and return.

(3) Any supplies or parts thereof, corrected or furnished in replacement under this clause, shall also be subject to the terms of this clause to the same extent as supplies initially delivered. The warranty, with respect to supplies or parts thereof, shall be equal in duration to that in paragraph (b)(1) of this clause and shall run from the date of delivery of the corrected or replaced supplies.

(4) All implied warranties of merchantability and 'fitness for a particular purpose' are excluded from any obligation contained in this contract.

(c) Remedies available to the Government

(1) The Contracting Officer shall give written notice to the Contractor of any breach of warranties in paragraph (b)(1) of this clause within 45 days after discovery of the defect.

(2) Within a reasonable time after the notice, the Contracting Officer may either-

(i) Require, by written notice, the prompt correction or replacement of any supplies or parts thereof (including preservation, packaging, packing, and marking) that do not conform with the requirements of this contract within the meaning of paragraph (b)(1) of this clause; or

(ii) Retain such supplies and reduce the contract price by an amount equitable under the circumstances.

(3)(i) If the contract provides for inspection of supplies by sampling procedures, conformance of supplies or components subject to warranty action shall be determined by the applicable sampling procedures in the contract.

The Contracting Officer-

(A) May, for sampling purposes, group any supplies delivered under this contract;

(B) Shall require the size of the sample to be that required by sampling procedures specified in the contract for the quantity of supplies on which warranty action is proposed;

(C) May project warranty sampling results over supplies in the same shipment or other supplies contained in other shipments even though all of such supplies are not present at the point of reinspection; provided, that the supplies remaining are reasonably representative of the quantity on which warranty action is proposed; and

(D) Need not use the same lot size as on original inspection or reconstitute the original inspection lots.

(ii) Within a reasonable time after notice of any breach of the warranties specified in paragraph (b)(1) of this clause, the Contracting Officer may exercise one or more of the following options:

(A) Require an equitable adjustment in the contract price for any group of supplies.

(B) Screen the supplies grouped for warranty action under this clause at the Contractor's expense and return all nonconforming supplies to the Contractor for correction or replacement.

(C) Require the Contractor to screen the supplies at locations designated by the Government within the contiguous United States and to correct or replace all nonconforming supplies.

(D) Return the supplies grouped for warranty action under this clause to the Contractor (irrespective of the f.o.b.

point or the point of acceptance) for screening and correction or replacement.

(4)(i) The Contracting Officer may, by contract or otherwise, correct or replace the nonconforming supplies with similar supplies from another source and charge to the Contractor the cost occasioned to the Government thereby if the Contractor:

(A) Fails to make redelivery of the corrected or replaced supplies within the time established for their return; or

(B) Fails either to accept return of the nonconforming supplies or fails to make progress after their return to correct or replace them so as to endanger performance of the delivery schedule, and in either of these circumstances does not cure such failure within a period of 10 days (or such longer period as the Contracting Officer may authorize in writing) after receipt of notice from the Contracting Officer specifying such failure.

(ii) Instead of correction or replacement by the Government, the Contracting Officer may require an equitable adjustment of the contract price. In addition, if the Contractor fails to furnish timely disposition instructions, the

3.2.2.3-41 PERFORMING WORK (APR 2024)

The Contractor must perform, using its own organization, work equivalent to at least Fifteen (15) percent of the total amount of work under the contract on the site. The CO may modify this contract to reduce this percentage if the Contractor requests a reduction and the CO determines that it would be to the FAA's advantage to do so.

(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.

(End of clause)

3.2.2.3-56 SCHEDULES FOR CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS (JUL 2024)

(a) The Contractor must, within five days after the work on the contract starts or after another period determined by the Contracting Officer (CO), prepare and submit to the CO for approval three copies of a baseline schedule showing the order in which the Contractor proposes to perform the work, and the dates the Contractor plans to start and finish the important stages of the work (including acquiring materials, plant, and equipment).

(b) If not otherwise detailed in the Specification, the baseline schedule must be in a progress chart of suitable scale to indicate appropriately the percentage of work scheduled for completion during the Contract's period of performance. Schedule activity duration(s) must also be formulated with allowance for normal adverse weather conditions.

(c) Float available in the schedule, at any time must not be considered for the exclusive use of either the FAA or the Contractor. During the period of performance, any float generated due to the efficiencies of either party is not for the sole use of the party generating the float; rather, it is a shared commodity to be reasonably used by either party.

Efficiencies gained as a result of favorable weather within a calendar month, where the number of days of normally anticipated unfavorable weather is less than expected, will also contribute to the reserve of float. A schedule showing work completed in less time than the Contract's period of performance, and accepted by the FAA, will be considered to have Project Float.

(d) With each payment request, the Contractor must submit a copy of the last schedule submitted, updated to show progress to date. Submittal of an accurate, updated schedule with the pay request is required prior to processing pay requests. The submittal of an updated schedule must include a narrative describing the progress made in each area of the project. If there are any proposed changes to the approved schedule activities, durations, logic interdependencies, milestones, planned sequence of operations, critical path, and resource loading, then the Contractor is responsible for submitting an amended schedule identifying and justifying the proposed changes.

(e) Review comments made by the FAA on the Contractor's schedule do not relieve the Contractor from compliance with the requirements of the Contract. The Contractor is responsible for scheduling, sequencing, and prosecuting the work to comply with the requirements of the Contract. The FAA's acceptance extends only to the activities of the Contractor's schedule that the FAA has been assigned responsibility for and to which it agrees it is responsible.

Comments offered on the other parts of the schedule, which the Contractor is assigned responsibility, are offered as a courtesy and are not conditions of the FAA's acceptance.

(f) No time extensions will be granted nor delay damages paid unless a delay occurs that impacts the Project's critical path, consumes all available float or contingency time, and extends the work beyond the Contact Completion Date. Thus, to extend the agreed-upon period of performance, in addition to the narrative in (d), the Contractor must request an extension by citing specific contractual authority for the change, the facts supporting the change, and by detailing its analysis of the impact on the projected substantial completion date and the available float for all activities. The request must also include costs (if any) associated with the extension. Failure to include costs in the request will be treated as a waiver of costs.

(g) Scheduled completion date(s) that extend beyond the contract completion date(s) may be used in the FAA's assessment of payment withholdings. The use of this computation is not to be construed as acceleration.

(h) If at any time, in the CO's opinion, the Contractor has fallen behind the schedule to an extent that would jeopardize timely completion, the Contractor must take steps to improve progress, including those required by the CO, to enable timely completion without additional cost to the FAA. The CO may require the Contractor to increase the number of shifts, the amount of overtime, days of work each week, or the amount of construction plant being used. The Contractor must submit any recovery schedules the CO deems necessary to demonstrate how it will regain the rate of progress necessary for timely completion.

(i) If at any time during the performance of the Contract, the Contractor does not submit a schedule within the time prescribed, the FAA may withhold payments until the schedule is submitted.

(j) If the Contractor fails to comply with the CO's requirement under this clause, the CO…
