F.9 MCC TECHNICAL DIRECTION

For tasks performed under time and materials / labor hours, the following provision shall be followed:

Performance of the work under this contract is subject to the written technical direction of the Contracting Officer Representative (COR), and any Government Project Monitors (PM), who shall be specifically appointed, and responsibilities identified, by the Contracting Officer in writing in accordance with MCC policy. "Technical direction" means a directive to the Contractor that approves approaches, solutions, designs, or refinements; fills in details or otherwise completes the general description of work or documentation items; shifts emphasis among work areas or tasks; or furnishes similar instruction to the Contractor. Technical direction includes requiring studies and pursuit of certain lines of inquiry regarding matters within the general tasks and requirements in Section C of this contract, and any resulting Call Order.

The COR/Government PM does not have the authority to, and shall not, issue any instruction purporting to be technical direction that:

Constitutes an assignment of additional work outside the statement of work;

Constitutes a change as defined in the changes clause;

Constitutes a basis for any increase or decrease in the total estimated contract/Call Order cost, the fixed fee (if any), or the time required for contract/Call Order performance;

Changes any of the expressed terms, conditions, or specifications of the contract/Call Order; or

Interferes with the Contractor's rights to perform the terms and conditions of the contract/Call Order.

Technical direction may be oral or in writing; however, the COR or government PM shall confirm oral direction in writing within five workdays.

The Contractor shall proceed promptly with the performance of technical direction duly issued by the COR or PM in the manner prescribed by this clause and within the COR's/PM's authority. If, in the Contractor's opinion, any instruction or direction by the COR/PM falls within any of the categories defined in paragraph (b) of this clause, the Contractor shall not proceed but shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing within 5 workdays after receiving it (either orally or in writing, whichever comes first) and shall request the Contracting Officer to take action as described in this clause. Upon receiving this notification, the Contracting Officer shall either issue an appropriate contract/Task Order modification within a reasonable time or advise the Contractor in writing within 30 days that the instruction or direction is:

Rescinded in its entirety; or

Within the requirements of the contract/Task Order and does not constitute a change under the changes clause of the contract/Task Order, and that the Contractor should proceed promptly with its performance.

A failure of the Contractor and Contracting Officer to agree that the instruction or direction is both within the requirements of the contract/Task Order and does not constitute a change under the changes clause, or a failure to agree upon the contract action to be taken with respect to the instruction or direction, shall be subject to the Disputes clause of this contract.

Any action(s) taken by the Contractor in response to any direction given by any person other than the Contracting Officer or the COR/PM shall be at the Contractor's risk.

MCC 52.232-73 TRAVEL REIMBURSEMENT (MAY 2017)

Policy. When authorized as part of the Scope of Work on this contract/order and within the contract/order ceiling and as approved by the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) and/or other MCC officials as described below, travel expenses incurred in performance of technical directives issued under this contractor/order may be reimbursed as allowed by the Federal Travel Regulations (FTR) in effect at the time of travel. MCC's supplemental policy interpretations are derived from the FTR and cannot grant additional benefits or adjust processes defined in the FTR. Supplemental policies of MCC set forth below:

a) Traveler Responsibilities. All contractor travelers must:

1) Exercise the same care in incurring expenses that a prudent person would exercise if traveling on personal business;

2) Travel in accordance with the FTR and the MCC policies included in this document; and

3) Pay any charges or fees associated with non-compliance of FTR or any MCC policies included in this document, and any expenses incurred for personal convenience. For example, the traveler may become personally responsible for travel costs associated with unauthorized use of other than coach class accommodations, failing to follow the Fly American Act requirements, exceeding per diem rates, changing departure or return flights, purchasing unapproved items, etc. regardless of the fact that travel arrangements may have been booked by others (e.g., Travel Agency).

b) Cabin Class Standards

1) The standard cabin class for contractor air-travel is coach class, regardless of destination or travel time.

2) Coach "premium" class may be authorized for destinations which have a travel time of more than 14 hours, consistent with the Federal Travel Regulations and the approval standards outlined in paragraph (f) of this document.

3) Business class travel accommodations will NOT be authorized except as determined through the approval process outlined in paragraph (f) of this document. This approval process is considered to be exceptional, to be part of a trip by trip analysis, and at the discretion of the government regardless of the destination or travel time.

c) Airlines and Flights. In accordance with the Fly America Act, contractors must use a U.S. flag air carrier service for all travel funded by the government beginning or ending in the U.S. unless a specific exemption to the "Fly America" rule applies. Flights on U.S. air carrier pairings with foreign carriers (i.e., code share flights) are regarded as meeting Fly America requirements if the ticket is issued on the American carrier and there is an American carrier flight number.

d) Limitations. Travel reimbursement, which is part of ODC, shall not exceed the authorized ODC amount on the contract. To be reimbursable, the travel expenses must be:

1) Allowable under the FTR and the provisions of this contract/order and associated technical directives;

2) Approved prior to travel expenditure by the COR; and

3) Allocable and necessary for performance of this contract/order and associated technical directives.

e) Reimbursement Requests. Travel reimbursement requests must be submitted in sufficient time for the COR to give prior approval, and must identify:

1) The name of the traveler.

2) Destination (s) including itinerary.

3) Purpose of the travel; and

4) Cost breakdown.

5) To be reimbursed, invoices including travel expenses must provide a detailed breakdown of the actual expenditures invoiced. Contractor shall maintain the original or legible copy of receipts for all travel expenses invoiced when the expenditure is $75.00 or more. MCC reserves the right to request evidence of any travel expense paid.

f) Approvals. All travel expenses, including rental cars, must be approved by the MCC COR in writing in advance of booking any travel and incurring travel expenses. The following expense types require additional MCC pre-approvals beyond that of the COR. These additional approvals and associated justifications will be documented in writing:

1) Business class - Business class travel is considered to be exceptional, to be determined as part of a trip by trip analysis, and at the discretion of the government regardless of the destination or travel time. To reflect the exceptional nature of this approval, the justification for use of business class must be prepared by the COR and approved in writing by the relevant Managing Director or Deputy Vice President of the organization requesting the contractor to travel. The single exception to requiring this justification and approval for every trip in question is when a State Department approved medical accommodation has been granted. In this case, the approval of the COR and the Contracting Officer only is required after verifying that the medical accommodation is effective for the trip in question and that sufficient funds are available. All justifications must verify that the contractor is required to report for duty the following day or sooner, that the travel time for the trip is at least 14 hours, and that a rest stop will not be taken en route. For audit purposes, all justifications and approvals to this effect must be retained by the COR and the contractor until contract closeout at which point all documentation must be provided to the Contracting Officer for incorporation in the contract file. Below are possible justifications supporting these exceptional requests:

A) Medical accommodation -

MCC has engaged the services of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), Federal Occupational Health Service (FOH), and Medical Employability Program (MEP) for medical accommodations due to disability adjudication.

Requests for, and HHS determinations on, medical accommodations for business class travel will be confidential, with only MCC's Travel Office receiving copies of the request and the MED/DP determination. Contractor travelers requesting medical accommodations based upon disability must complete the steps below. Forms are available from the MCC COR and/or PM.

1) Contractor traveler completes the Medical Employability Case Transmittal Form, A127523-S192701-W190333.

Form can be faxed to (301) 492-4783 or e-mailed to medical.employability@foh.hhs.gov with a copy to the MCC Travel Office at mccmedical@mcc.gov.

2) Contractor traveler forwards Physician a copy of the Medical Accommodation Physician's form, which the physician completes, dates, and signs. Once signed, the traveler OR their physician e-mails a scanned .pdf attachment to HHS at medical.employability@foh.hhs.gov. Alternatively, it can be faxed Attn: Medical Employability Program (301) 492-4783.

3) Once both forms have been completed and sent, HHS makes a medical determination based on the information provided by the traveler and the traveler's physician on the HHS/FOH/EMP forms. FOH will send a letter to the POC listed on the transmittal form with recommendations. MCC will not approve any business class accommodations beyond normal MCC guidelines unless the traveler has completed the medical accommodation paperwork and received a positive response from FOH/MEP.

4) Contractor must note that the process can take several weeks and will depend on how quickly HHS/FOH/MED receives the information (including communication with treating physicians).

B) Sanitation/Health - Coach accommodations on an authorized/approved foreign air carrier do not provide adequate sanitation or health standards.

C) Savings - Flying in non-coach status would involve significant cost savings to MCC when compared to the lowest price non-refundable or restricted coach class fare.

D) Availability - No space is available in coach-class accommodations in time to accomplish the mission, which is urgent and cannot be postponed. (Note: this justification should not be used based on the lack of advanced planning by the contractor or the COR).

E) Security - Exceptional security circumstances require other than coach-class airline accommodations.

F) Mission critical agency requirement - circumstances in which a critical agency priority or project will incur delay or degradation without the intervention of a contractor and that intervention urgently requires other than coach class ticketing.

2) Coach "premium" class - coach "premium" class must be approved by the COR, subject to the availability of funds on the contract/order, and:

A) The origin and/or destination are OCONUS; and

B) The scheduled flight time including non-overnight stopovers and change of planes, is in excess of 14 hours. Scheduled flight time is the flight time between the originating departure point and the ultimate arrival point including scheduled non-overnight time spent at airports during plane changes. Scheduled non-overnight time does not include time spent at the originating or ultimate arrival airports. And;

mailto:medical.employability@foh.hhs.gov mailto:mccmedical@mcc.gov mailto:medical.employability@foh.hhs.gov

C) The contractor is required to report to duty the following day or sooner; and

D) The contractor does not take a rest stop en route or a rest period upon arrival at the duty site.

3) Rest Stops - must be approved by the COR and cannot exceed 24 hours.

NOTE: Travelers may upgrade flight accommodations at their own expense or through the use of frequent flyer miles if the coach airfare is upgradeable at no extra cost to MCC.
