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.

(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.

(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.

3.2.2.3-58 LAYOUT OF WORK (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.

(iv) The following agency and legislative liaison activities are permitted where they are prior to the Screening Information Request (SIR) of any covered Federal action:

(A) Providing any information not specifically requested but necessary for an agency to make an informed decision about initiation of a covered Federal action;

(B) Technical discussions regarding the preparation of an unsolicited proposal prior to its official submission; and

(C) Capability presentations by persons seeking awards from an agency pursuant to the provisions of a law authorizing such actions;

(2) Professional and technical services.

(i) The prohibition on the use of appropriated funds, in subparagraph (b)(1) of this clause, does not apply in the case of:

(A) A payment of reasonable compensation made to an officer or employee of a person requesting or receiving a covered Federal action or an extension, continuation, renewal, amendment, or modification of a covered Federal action, if payment is for professional or technical services rendered directly in the preparation, submission, or negotiation of submittal/offer or application for that Federal action or for meeting requirements imposed by or pursuant to law as a condition for receiving that Federal action.

(B) Any reasonable payment to a person, other than an officer or employee of a person requesting or receiving a covered Federal action or an extension, continuation, renewal, amendment, or modification of a covered Federal action if the payment is for professional or technical services rendered directly in the preparation, submission, or negotiation of any submittal/offer or application for that Federal action or for meeting requirements imposed by or pursuant to law as a condition for receiving that Federal action. Persons other than officers or employees of a person requesting or receiving a covered Federal action include consultants and trade associations.

(ii) For purposes of subdivision (c)(2)(i) of this clause, 'professional and technical services' must be limited to advice and analysis directly applying any professional or technical discipline. For example, drafting of a legal document accompanying a submittal/offer by a lawyer is allowable.

Similarly, technical advice provided by an engineer on the performance or operational capability of a piece of equipment rendered directly in the negotiation of a contract is allowable. However, communications with the intent to influence made by a professional (such as a licensed lawyer) or a technical person (such as a licensed accountant) are not allowable under this section unless they provide advice and analysis directly applying their professional or technical expertise and unless the advice or analysis is rendered directly and solely in the preparation, submission or negotiation of a covered Federal action. Thus, for example, communications with the intent to influence made by a lawyer that do not provide legal advice or analysis directly and solely related to the legal aspects of his or her client's submittal/offer, but generally advocate one proposal over another are not allowable under this section because the lawyer is not providing professional legal services.

Similarly, communications with the intent to influence made by an engineer providing an engineering analysis prior to the preparation or submission of a submittal/offer are not allowable under this section since the engineer is providing technical services but not directly in the preparation, submission or negotiation of a covered Federal action.

(iii) Requirements imposed by or pursuant to law as a condition for receiving a covered Federal award include those required by law or regulation and any other requirements in the actual award documents.

(iv) The reporting requirements herein must not apply with respect to payments of reasonable compensation made to regularly employed officers or employees of a person.

(3) Only those communications and services expressly authorized by paragraphs (c)(1) and (2) of this clause are permitted under this clause.

(d) Disclosure.

(1) If the Contractor, who requests or receives from an agency a Federal contract, has made or has agreed to make any payment using non-appropriated funds (to include profits from any Covered Federal action), to any person for the purpose of influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any Agency, a Member of Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress on his or her behalf in connection with a Covered Federal action, the Contractor must file with that agency a disclosure form, OMB Standard Form LLL, Disclosure of Lobbying Activities..

(2) The Contractor must file a disclosure form at the end of each calendar quarter in which there occurs any event that materially affects the accuracy of the information contained in any disclosure form previously filed by such person under subparagraph (d)(1) of this clause. An event that materially affects the accuracy of the information reported includes:

(i) A cumulative increase of $25,000 or more in the amount paid or expected to be paid for influencing or attempting to influence a covered Federal action; or

(ii) A change in the person(s) or individual(s) influencing or attempting to influence a covered Federal action; or

(iii) A change in the officer(s), employee(s), or Member(s) contacted to influence or attempt to influence a covered Federal action.

(3) The Contractor must require the certification, and if required, a disclosure form by any person who requests or receives any subcontractor exceeding $150,000 under the Federal contract.

(4) All subcontractor disclosure forms must be forwarded from tier to tier until received by the prime Contractor. The prime Contractor must submit all disclosures to the Contracting Officer at the end of the calendar quarter in which the disclosure form is submitted by the subcontractor.

(e) Agreement. The Contractor agrees not to make any payment prohibited by this clause.

(f) Penalties.

(1) Any person who makes an expenditure prohibited under paragraph (b) of this clause or fails to file or amend the disclosure form to be filed or amended by paragraph (b) must be subject to civil penalties as provided for by 31 U.S.C. 1352. An imposition of a civil penalty does not prevent the Government from seeking any other remedy that may be applicable.

(2) Contractors may rely without liability on the representations made by their subcontractors in the certification and in the disclosure form.

(g) Cost allowability. Nothing in this clause makes allowable or reasonable any costs which would otherwise be unallowable or unreasonable. Conversely, costs made specifically unallowable by the requirements in this clause will not be made allowable under any other provision.

3.2.5-8 WHISTLEBLOWER PROTECTION FOR CONTRACTOR EMPLOYEES (APR 2024)

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.

(i) Notwithstanding any provision of this contract, financing payments will not exceed 80 percent on work accomplished on undefinitized contract actions. A contract action is any action resulting in a contract, including contract modifications for additional supplies or services, but not including contract modifications that are within the scope and under the terms of the contract, such as contract modifications issued pursuant to the "Changes" clause, or funding and other administrative changes.

(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.
