75N91019D00024, Task Order 75N91020F00003 Mod P00007 Page 10 amended, whether such costs arise because of the terms of Retirement Programs A and B funding, administration, termination or any other requirement or obligation.
The Contractor has administered Retirement Programs A and B on behalf of the Government pursuant to requirements of various contracts, including the OTS Contract (HHSN26120080001E) which is the immediate predecessor to the contract under which this Task Order is issued, for the exclusive benefit of employees of the FNL and will continue to do so up to the end of this Task Order in accordance with Task Order terms and conditions.
The parties agree that Contractor, beginning the first day after the end of this Task Order, will have no further ERISA, IRC, financial or contractual responsibility whatsoever for Retirement Programs A and B, absent written mutual agreement to the contrary, or operation of law and to the extent the law imposes any such liability on LBR, any resultant costs shall be deemed allowable under the terms of this Task Order.
2. Plan Funding The parties agree that allowable costs associated with the sponsorship of the Plans as required under this Task Order and the Contract under which this Task Order was issued shall be provided to the Contractor as advance payments pursuant to this Article and Article I.4.a.(14)—Advance Payment of contract 75N91019D00024. All requests for Advance Payments will be submitted by the contractor with supporting documentation. Requests will be reviewed by the Contracting Officer and Contracting Officer Representative prior to any payment.
Further, the parties agree that it is mutually desired to maintain Plan A funding level (plan assets/plan liabilities) at a target level of 80% or greater, as computed on an actuarial basis consistent with ERISA regulations, to mitigate additional plan administrative burden under ERISA and to minimize the Government’s need to provide significant supplemental plan funding as a result of either a curtailment or termination under CAS. As a result of these considerations, the parties agree to the following regarding funding of the Plans:
a. Prior to October 15th of each year the Government shall provide to the Contractor Advance Payments (pursuant to this Article and Article I.4.a.(14)—Advance Payment of contract 75N91019D00024 for the purpose of funding allowable post-curtailment costs associated with administering the plan to:
maintain its tax qualified status; costs to comply with the required reporting and disclosure requirements; premiums, penalties, inquiries and/or litigation imposed by the Internal Revenue Service, the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation, the Department of Labor, and/or participants and beneficiaries as applicable; costs incurred to evaluate and implement optional plan amendments intended to reduce the overall participant headcount and/or funding requirements;
and all other allowable plan costs that arise post-curtailment due to any reason, including but not limited to funding requirements, or changes in the market value or actuarial value of plan assets that accrue; costs associated with any additional curtailment, termination, annuitization or other costs as may be agreed to by the parties.
In the event subsequent or additional Plan funding is required, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer as soon as practicable after the costs are known and submit a written cost estimate including a reason for the costs, itemization of costs, and methodology used to determine the estimate. Payment of the subsequent funding shall be made upon submission of a proper invoice to the Government.
b. Within 10 calendar days of receipt of any advance funding received pursuant to this Article the Contractor shall place all funds received into the special bank account established in accordance with contract 75N91019D00024 Article I.4.A.(14)—Advance Payment for the sole purpose of funding plan costs as authorized herein.
75N91019D00024, Task Order 75N91020F00003 Mod P00007 Page 11
c. Any amounts provided to the Contractor by the Government pursuant to this Article and which remains in the account referenced in contract 75N91019D00024 Article I.4.A.(14)—Advance Payment upon completion of all Plan termination activities shall be promptly returned to the Government or, in the case of a plan transfer shall be dispositioned pursuant to paragraph 5 this Article.
3. Changes to the Plans Contracting Officer approval is required to make changes to either benefit Plan A or B including, but not limited to, early-out program, widow benefits, disability program, plan-loan feature, employee contribution refund, asset reversion, or incidental benefit. Requests for changes to the Plan(s) shall include relevant information as may be necessary to support the requesting actions, including reasonably available alternatives where practicable.
Contracting Officer approval is not required when changes to the Plan(s) are necessitated by statute or regulation issued by a cognizant Government authority. In such instances, notification of the Plan changes, including any impacts to costs, benefits or other relevant information, shall be provided to the Contracting Officer as early as practicable prior to the execution of any such change.
4. Terminating Plans Except as provided in this Section—Terminating Plans, Plan A or B may not be terminated during the term of the Task Order without the prior written agreement of the parties. The parties agree to establishment of a plan and proposed effort for termination. Plan termination shall be in accordance with the ERISA the IRC, the Department of Labor (“DOL”) regulations, and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) regulations. Termination will proceed in accordance with ERISA to the full conclusion of the plan liquidation and the Government shall be obligated to reimburse Contractor all allowable costs incurred related to the plan termination and liquidation and identified in the task order award for termination.
Programs A and/or B, as applicable, will be terminated without further approval by the parties:
a. If the Government fails to provide 120 calendar day notification related to the transfer or disposition of the FNL Retirement Plans; or written notice of intent to cease, in whole or in part, through a contract termination, the operation of the FLNCR as a Government-Owned, Contractor Operated facility,
b. Upon notification by the Government that either:
i. there will be a contract awarded to a 3rd party successor contractor and that the Successor will not assume responsibility for the Plans; or
ii. the Contracting Officer determines that the scope of work under the Task Order has been completed’
c. In the event or circumstance that, pursuant to applicable pension law or regulations ERISA or the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended, would require a plan termination or in the absence of a plan termination, cause a plan to become disqualified. In such instances, notification of the Plan termination, including any impacts to costs, benefits or other relevant information, shall be provided to the Contracting Officer as early as practicable prior to the execution of any such change.
In the event of a plan termination (as defined in 48 CFR 9904.413-30(a)(20), the plan will be administered in a manner that will ensure that allowable costs will be accounted for and allocated to the Government and paid to the Contractor consistent with applicable Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) and Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) requirements. All costs means: (1) all costs relating to a plan termination, including those costs measured, assigned and allocated pursuant to CAS 412 and 413, including CAS § 413-50(c)(12) (or any successor regulations) for a plan termination; (2) all costs of compliance requirements of ERISA, the IRC, the DOL, and the PBGC; (3) all costs of administering the plans throughout the termination process; and (4) all other related costs such as legal costs relating to pending
75N91019D00024, Task Order 75N91020F00003 Mod P00007 Page 12 or actual litigation with plan participants or actions, including audits, by federal regulators. The contractor will provide a written cost estimate as a basis for funding allowable costs. This estimate will be reviewed by the Contracting Officer and the Contracting Officer representative. When a termination of this task order or the contract under which the task order is issued results in a plan termination, the parties agree that allowable costs related to the plan termination will be treated as “continuing costs,” as defined in FAR § 31.205-42(b), that pursuant to that provision, FAR §§ 49.201 and 52.249-6 are allowable costs.
5. Transfer of the Plan(s) The Government shall notify the Contractor in writing 120 business days prior to the award of a new contract to a designated 3rd party successor contractor, that will require the new contractor to assume sponsorship and administration and otherwise have full responsibility for Programs A and B beginning upon the expiration or termination of this Task Order. Upon notification of an intent to award to a successor contractor, the Government will facilitate the timely negotiation and execution of a tri-lateral (Government, the Contractor, Successor Contractor) FNLCR Retirement Plan Transition Agreement. The agreement will set forth the roles, responsibilities and obligations of the parties to transfer of all, then existing, retirement plans between the Contractor to the 3rd party successor contractor on or before the expiration of this task order. The agreement will set forth the terms and conditions between the parties to transfer the assets and liabilities of the Programs A and B to the successor contractor(s), including the assumption by the successor contractor of plan sponsorship and plan administration of the transferred plans. The Government shall include in any successor contract such terms and conditions as are needed to give this Article full force and effect, including a requirement that the successor contractor indemnify LBR and its Parent (Leidos, Inc.) for any costs relating to the transferred programs (or any part thereof) that the Government does not reimburse pursuant to this Advance Understanding. Upon completion of this transfer in accordance with ERISA requirements, Contractor shall have no further obligation whatsoever with respect to the Programs A and B, unless contrary to law.
If this Task Order expires or terminates and NCI has awarded a contract under which the new contractor becomes a sponsor and assumes responsibility for management and administration of the pension or other benefit plans covering active or retired contractor employees with respect to service at FNLCR (collectively, the “Plans”), the Contractor shall cooperate and transfer to the new contractor its responsibility for sponsorship, management and administration of the Plans consistent with direction from the Contracting Officer. Such direction shall not conflict with or otherwise alter the terms of this Article.
The value of pension liabilities transferred shall be based on the most recent actuarial calculation completed by the plan actuary. The amount of the assets that shall be transferred by the Contractor to the successor contractor shall equal the assets in the Plans’ respective trusts at the time of transfer. The cognizant Contracting Officer shall approve assets and liabilities as being properly calculated in compliance with applicable CAS.
Prior to any transfer of the Plan to a successor the Contractor shall withdrawal from the Plan trust or other account, or invoice the Government, as applicable the full amount of any then-existing prepayment credit made by the Contractor or its Parent on its behalf, relating to the DB plan, as measured in accordance with CAS.
6. Reporting Requirements:
a. Annual Plan Status Report: The Contractor shall submit to the Contracting Officer and Branch Chief an annual report about the status of Retirement Programs A & B no later than August 1st of each year. The report shall provide an estimate of plan termination costs as of September 25 of the current Plan Year and information as of the end of the most recent plan year regarding the number of participants in each Program, the funding status of the Program, and an assessment of regulatory or compliance issues that may arise based on participation levels, funding status, other comparable factors, or other data as directed by the Contracting Officer.
