3.2.2.3-37 NOTIFICATION OF OWNERSHIP CHANGES (APR 2023)

(a) The Contractor must notify FAA in writing within 30 days when the Contractor becomes aware that a change in ownership has occurred or will occur and that the change could affect the value of the Contractor's capitalized assets in the accounting records, asset valuations, or cause any other cost changes.

(b) The Contractor must:

(1) Maintain current, accurate, and complete inventory records of assets and their costs;

(2) Provide the Contracting Officer (CO) access to the records on request;

(3) Ensure that all individual and grouped assets, their capitalized values, accumulated depreciation or amortization, and remaining useful lives are identified accurately before and after each of the Contractor's ownership changes; and

(4) Retain and maintain depreciation and amortization schedules based on the asset records maintained before each ownership change.

(c) The substance of this clause must be included in all subcontracts under this contract.

(End of clause)

3.2.2.3-41 PERFORMING WORK (APR 2024)

The Contractor must perform, using its own organization, work equivalent to at least Twenty (20) 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.

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 may determine that the Contractor is not performing the work with enough diligence to ensure completing it within the time the contract requires. If the CO makes this determination, the CO may terminate this contract for default.

(End of clause)

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.

(End of clause)

3.2.2.3-71 COMMENCEMENT, PROSECUTION, AND COMPLETION OF WORK (JUL 2024)

The Contractor must (a) begin work under this contract within Five (5) calendar days after the date the Contractor receives the notice to proceed, (b) perform the work diligently, and (c) complete the entire work ready for use not later than to be determined at time of award. The time stated for completion must include final cleanup of the premises.
