INVOICE PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS

1. The Contractor shall prepare a proper invoice IAW FAR clause 52.212-4, and in addition to the information required by FAR 52.212-4(g) as cited in the contract. All invoices shall be itemized to correlate to the Schedule of Supplies/Services.

The Government will make payment under this contract based on a percentage or stage of completion. The Contractor may invoice each contract line item (CLIN) as work progresses. The amount invoiced shall be calculated based on those prices stipulated in the contract Schedule of Supplies/Services as follows:

A CLIN may not be invoiced until the percentage complete reaches 25 percent. Future invoices for that CLIN have no limitation as to the percentage of completion required before invoicing. (The minimum percentage of completion (25%) to be reached prior to billing each CLIN may be waived by the Contracting Officer on a case-by-case basis for large dollar CLINS.)

In addition to the information required by FAR 52.212-4 (g) Invoices shall include:

- Contract Number, Delivery Order/Task Order Number, DOC Number

- Name and Address of the Contractor

- Invoice Number and Invoice Date

- Unique Entity ID (SAM)

- Vessel name

- The overall percentage and dollar amount previously billed, currently billed and unbilled,

- Shipping and Payment Terms

- Name, title, phone number, and mailing address of person to be notified in the event of a defective invoice.

All information must be included in an invoice for it to constitute a proper invoice. All improper invoices will be rejected which could delay payment.

2. The Contractor shall forward invoices via e-mail: TBD@uscg.mil and TBD@uscg.mil or in person to the Contracting Officer's Technical Representative (COR).

3. The COR shall review and verify invoices, sign the invoice, and return the invoice to the Contractor.

• Invoices for contracts awarded in FY22 or later will be processed in the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP) or MarkView:

• IPP is a secure, web-based service that manages invoicing from award through payment notification.

• MarkView is an invoice imagining and approval system integrated with the Accounts Payable (AP) module in FSMS.

• Invoices for FY22 or later awards that meet an exemption or the KO has agreed to the vendor submitting invoices outside of IPP will be processed in MarkView after the vendor sends the invoice to the applicable email established by FINCEN (emails can be found on the FINCEN website).

If the vendor will be submitting invoices through IPP and:

• If there is a COR on the contract:

• Vendor will submit the invoice through IPP.

• The COR will be notified that there is an invoice for them to review in IPP.

• The COR will review the invoice, edit the distributions, if necessary, and approve/reject the invoice.

• If there are multiple distributions (LOAs) on a single CLIN, IPP will use a sequential method to distribute the funds to the 1st distribution until it is fully expended, then move on to the 2nd distribution until it is fully expended, and so on. If the invoice amounts should not be distributed in this manner, the COR can edit the distributions to apply the invoice amounts as needed.

• If the COR does not take action on the invoice within 3 days, a notification will be sent to the KO so the KO can take action on the invoice or work with the COR to get them to take action on the invoice.

• If the vendor will be submitting invoices through IPP and:

• Once the invoice is approved in IPP, it will be sent to FSMS.

• Once in FSMS, the invoice will go directly to the ACO(s) at FINCEN for final approval.

• The FINCEN ACO(s) will perform the final approval of the invoice and notification will be sent to Treasury to make payment to the vendor.

If the vendor will be submitting invoices directly to FINCEN for processing through MarkView and:

• If there is a COR on the contract:

• Vendor will submit the invoice directly to FINCEN via the applicable email.

• The FINCEN Accounting Technicians will reach out to the COR to provide matching guidance through the comment functionality in MarkView.

• Once they receive matching guidance, the FINCEN Accounting Technician will match the invoice to the award and send it to the COR for approval.

• COR will approve/reject the invoice.

• If approved, it will go to the ACO(s) at FINCEN for final approval.

• If rejected, it will go back to the vendor to make corrections or cancel.

• If the COR does not take action on the invoice within 3 days, a notification will be sent to the KO so the KO can take action on the invoice or work with the COR to get them to take action on the invoice.

NOTE: This functionality will not be available in MarkView at go live, but it is should be available soon after.

• The FINCEN ACO(s) will perform the final approval of the invoice and notification will be sent to Treasury to make payment to the vendor.

Who will the vendor work with if they have issues in IPP? For issues with IPP, the vendors will work directly with the IPP Help Desk.

• Toll-free number: 866-973-3131

• Email address: IPPCustomerSupport@fiscal.treasury.gov

• Hours of operation: Monday through Friday (excluding bank holidays) from 8:00 am - 6:00 pm ET

• FINCEN will send vendor information to IPP. If the vendor is already registered in IPP, they will not need to take any action.

If the vendor is not registered in IPP, they will get 2 emails from IPP with their user ID, password, and instructions on how to finish their registration.

Who will the vendor work with if they have issues with a payment? IPP will contain payment information that is sent from FSMS, but the IPP Help Desk will not be able to assist the vendor with the payment. Based on this, the vendor will need to work with the KO and FINCEN for payment issues.

• FINCEN Customer Service by phone: 757-523-6940

• FINCEN Customer Service by email: FIN-SMB-Customerservice@uscg.mill

• For additional contact information, please see the FINCEN Customer Service web page.

A copy of the invoice and any supporting documentation shall also be e-mailed to the following individuals:

TBD@uscg.mil and TBD@uscg.mil

Invoices shall only include work that has been incorporated via contract modification. Only the Contracting Officer is able to authorize work and issue any modifications; therefore, payments will not be made for any work to which a modification has not been properly executed. Invoices submitted for payment that includes such a request will be reduced by the unmodified amount.

NOTE: 10% OF THE TOTAL CONTRACT PRICE WILL BE WITHHELD UNTIL ALL DELIVERABLES, REQUIRED BY THE

CONTRACT, ARE RECEIVED AND ACCEPTED.

FURTHER CONSIDERATIONS WITH INVOICING:

In accordance with the Prompt Payment Act, for the purposes of determining a payment due date and the date on which interest will begin to accrue if a payment is late, a proper invoice shall be deemed to have been received:

(1) On the later of:

(i) For invoices electronically transmitted by the Contractor via web based submission, the date a transmission is received by the designated billing office, and receipt confirmation is provided to the designated recipient; or

(ii) The seventh day after the date on which the property is actually delivered or performance of the services is actually completed; unless—

The agency has actually accepted the property or services before the seventh day in which case the acceptance date shall substitute for the seventh day after the delivery date; or

A longer acceptance period is specified in the contract, in which case the date of actual acceptance or the date on which such longer acceptance period ends shall substitute for the seventh day after the delivery date.

(2) On the date of delivery, when the contract specifies that the delivery ticket may serve as an invoice.

(3) Web based submission by the Contractor and receipt confirmation does not reflect Government review or acceptance of the invoice. All payments for partial performance rendered by the Government under this contract are based on the assumption that the Contractor will, in good faith, execute and honor all payment terms entered into between it, the Prime Contractor, and any subcontractor thereof in the performance of this contract. The Contractor hereby acknowledges the Government's right to reduce or suspend progress payments based on non-payment in accordance with any payment terms of the subcontract agreement.

Any amount deemed not payable will be deducted from the Contractor's invoice. Deducted amounts may be resubmitted on the next invoice for reconsideration.

A modification will be issued to incorporate and implement all approved changes.

COMPOSITE LABOR RATE:

The composite labor rate offered shall be the sole labor hour rate used to price the Prime Contractor's direct labor hours for contract changes, i.e. growth work.

For purposes of this solicitation, "relevant contracts" are defined as contracts performed in which the contractor was the prime contractor performing construction, overhaul, repair and alteration of similarly sized ships/vessels. Past performance ratings for contracts that were completed more than three years before the date of the issuance of this solicitation are not considered recent and will not be evaluated. General trends in a contractor's performance will also be considered. Vendors lacking relevant past performance history will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance but will be assigned a Neutral rating.

The Government reserves the right to verify claims made by the Offeror and not to consider relevant those that are not substantiated.

Factor III: Price

The total evaluated price of the offeror will be determined by totaling the proposed prices of all the Definite and Option Items, plus the composite labor hour extended total, plus lay days, loading rate, temporary services during lay days, crane hours, forklift hours, oily waste offload, paint thinner and foreseeable costs. While Option Items, the composite labor hour rate, lay days, loading rate, crane hours, forklift hours, oily waste offload, and paint thinner are included in the total evaluated price, it is for evaluation purposes, and therefore may or may not ultimately be awarded during contract performance.

(1) DEFINITE ITEMS: These are the items, which, if there is an award at all, will be awarded. The bid shall be evaluated to include the price for each definite item.

(2) OPTION ITEMS: These are the items, which, if there is an award at all, may be awarded upon completion of open and inspect, or if additional funds become available, of if they are needed. The offer shall be evaluated to include the price for each option item.

(3) COMPOSITE LABOR HOUR RATE: The offer shall be evaluated to include the offer price for the Composite Labor Hour Rate multiplied by the estimated quantity of hours.

(4) LAY DAYS: A lay day is defined as an additional day on a dry dock or marine railway caused by a government issued change. The Contracting Officer will evaluate the daily rate for lay days multiplied by the estimated quantity of lay days as stated in the offeror's Schedule of Services/Supplies.

(5) FORESEEABLE COSTS: The Contracting Officer will evaluate certain foreseeable costs that will vary with the location of the commercial shipyard to be used by bidders/offerors under this solicitation. Costs will be calculated based on the bidder's/offeror's shipyard location and these costs will be added, for the purposes of evaluation only, to the bidder's/offeror's overall price.

DISTANCE FACTOR ADJUSTMENT

Price related factors in the award of vessel repair contracts, foreseeable costs in connection with the differences of shipyard locations in the award of any vessel repair contract conducted away from the vessel's home pier shall be evaluated in all solicitations for contracts exceeding $100,000.00.

FORESEEABLE COST FACTORS PERTAINING TO DIFFERENT SHIPYARD LOCATIONS

The Contracting Officer will evaluate certain foreseeable costs to the Coast Guard. Those costs will vary based on the location of the offeror's shipyard and are added to the offeror's overall bid price or price quote for the purposes of evaluation only.

These elements of foreseeable costs consist of the following:

(1) Transit Cost:

Vessel operational cost will be calculated based on one round trip from the vessel's homeport of Sault Saint Marie, MI. to the contractor's facility. Distance will be based on the NOAA publication, "Distance Between U.S. Ports" or other authority (in order of priority), including Army Corp of Engineers or U.S. Navy transit publications, if the shipyard location is not contained in the NOAA publication.

Transit cost to navigate the vessel between its homeport and the contractor's offered place of performance is $183.78 per nautical mile. The number of nautical miles to transit between the offerors shipyard and the vessel's homeport will be multiplied by the operational cost.

(1) Family Separation Allowance & Homeport Travel:

Crew members with dependents residing within the area of the homeport are entitled do Family Separation Allowance and Homeport Travel Allowance whenever a vessel is overhauled outside of the area of the homeport. The area of the homeport is defined as the area within 50 road miles of the homeport.
