See Section 1 of Attachment 2, Statement of Work.

PACKING LIST

PLACE OF DELIVERY:

USCG Surface Forces Logistics Center (SFLC)

RECEIVING ROOM, BLDG 88

2401 Hawkins Point Road Baltimore, MD 21226-5000 **All deliveries are to be made Monday through Friday between the hours of 7:00 A.M. and 1:00 P.M., EST. **

INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE (DESTINATION)

Inspection and acceptance of the supplies and/or services to be furnished hereunder shall be made at destination by the receiving activity. Acceptance will be contingent upon the representative’s verification of no damage in transit, correctness, and completeness of order and contractor’s conformance to preservation, packing and marking requirements.

INSPECTION (ORIGIN)

The contractor must contact the Contracting Officer 45 days prior to any production testing to schedule a Quality Assurance Inspection at the contractor’s facility. The inspections and tests required herein are the minimum necessary and are not intended to replace any controls, examinations or tests normally employed by the contractor to assure the quality of the product. Approval at origin by a Coast Guard Quality Assurance Representative does not guarantee final acceptance at destination.

CONTRACTING OFFICER’S AUTHORITY

No oral or written statement of any person other than the Contracting Officer will in any manner or degree modify or otherwise affect the terms of this contract. The Contracting Officer is the only person authorized to approve changes in any of the requirements under this contract, and, notwithstanding any provisions contained elsewhere in this contract, said authority remains solely with the Contracting Officer. In the event the Contractor effects any such change at the direction of any person other than the Contracting Officer, the change will be considered to have been made without authority and no adjustment will be made in the contract price to cover any increase in cost incurred as a result thereof.

DELIVERY/PERFORMANCE

Delivery of supplies will be in accordance with Attachment 1 (Welin Lambie Parts Catalogue for Model TW.PIV 5.0B Davits).

Tasking and performance for the Technical Representatives shall be in accordance with Task 3.6 of Attachment 2, Statement of Work.

DELIVERY ORDERS/TASK ORDERS

Delivery orders will be issued on an as needed basis for parts, overhauls, and purchases of new davits associated with this contract. Orders may be mailed, issued orally, by facsimile, or by email.

Task orders will be issued as needed for technical support and travel in accordance with Task 3.6 of the Statement of Work.

FAR 52.211-8 TIME OF DELIVERY (JUN 1997)(Alt. I Apr 1984)

a) The Government requires delivery to be made according to the following schedule:

Required Delivery Schedule

*Includes Base and all corresponding Option Year CLIN’s

Note: Definitive quantities shall be included on each individual task or delivery order.

The Government will equally evaluate, with regards to time of delivery, offers that propose delivery of each CLIN within the required delivery period. Offers that propose delivery that will not clearly fall within the required delivery period specified above may be found unacceptable and may be rejected. The Government reserves the right to award under the required delivery schedule or the proposed delivery schedule when an offeror provides an earlier delivery schedule than required above. If an offeror proposes no other delivery schedule, then the above schedule shall apply.

Offeror’s Proposed Delivery Schedule

*Includes Base and all corresponding Option Year CLIN’s

(b) Attention is directed to the Contract Award provision of the Solicitation that provides that a written award or acceptance of offer mailed, or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror, results in a binding contract. The Government will mail or otherwise furnish to the offeror an award or notice of award not later than the day award is dated. Therefore, the offeror should compute the time available for performance beginning with the actual date of award, rather than the date the written notice of award is received from the Contracting Officer through the ordinary mails. However the Government will evaluate an offer that proposes delivery based on the Contractor’s date of receipt of the contract or notice of award by adding: 1) five calendar days for delivery of the award through the ordinary mails, or 2) one working day if the Solicitation states that the contract or notice of award will be transmitted electronically. The term “working day” excludes weekends and Federal Holidays. If, as so computed, the offered delivery date is later than the required delivery date, therefore may be determined unacceptable and may be rejected.

(2) After the acquisition at least 80 percent of the stock (by vote or value) of the entity is held—

(ii) In the case of an acquisition with respect to a domestic partnership, by former partners of the domestic partnership by reason of holding a capital or profits interest in the domestic partnership; and

(3) The expanded affiliated group which after the acquisition includes the entity does not have substantial business activities in the foreign country in which or under the law of which the entity is created or organized when compared to the total business activities of such expanded affiliated group.

Person, domestic, and foreign have the meanings given such terms by paragraphs (1), (4), and (5) of section 7701(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, respectively.

(c) Special rules. The following definitions and special rules shall apply when determining whether a foreign incorporated entity should be treated as an inverted domestic corporation.

(1) Certain stock disregarded. For the purpose of treating a foreign incorporated entity as an inverted domestic corporation these shall not be taken into account in determining ownership:

(ii) Stock of such entity which is sold in a public offering related to an acquisition described in section 835(b)(1) of the Homeland Security Act, 6 U.S.C. 395(b)(1).

(2) Plan deemed in certain cases. If a foreign incorporated entity acquires directly or indirectly substantially all of the properties of a domestic corporation or partnership during the 4-year period beginning on the date which is 2 years before the ownership requirements of subsection (b)(2) are met, such actions shall be treated as pursuant to a plan.

(3) Certain transfers disregarded. The transfer of properties or liabilities (including by contribution or distribution) shall be disregarded if such transfers are part of a plan a principal purpose of which is to avoid the purposes of this section.

(d) Special rule for related partnerships.

(e) Treatment of Certain Rights.

(1) Certain rights shall be treated as stocks to the extent necessary to reflect the present value of all equitable interests incident to the transaction, as follows:

(i) warrants;

(ii) options;

(iii) contracts to acquire stock;

(iv) convertible debt instruments; and

(v) others similar interests.

(2) Rights labeled as stocks shall not be treated as stocks whenever it is deemed appropriate to do so to reflect the present value of the transaction or to disregard transactions whose recognition would defeat the purpose of Section 835.
