SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

Clause Text

BONDS

(a) Bid Guarantee. Each bidder shall submit with his bid a Bid Bond (Standard Form 24) with good and sufficient surety or sureties acceptable to the Government, or other security as provided in provision 52.228-1, in the form of twenty percent (20) of the bid price or not to exceed $3,000,000. The bid bond penalty may be expressed in terms of a percentage of the bid price or may be expressed in dollars and cents. A bid bond is not required for bids of $150,000 or less. (FAR 28.102-1)

(b) Performance and Payment Bonds. Within 10 days after award the contractor shall execute and submit to the Contracting Officer two bonds, each with good and sufficient surety or sureties acceptable to the Government, as follows; a Performance Bond (Standard Form 25) and a Payment Bond (Standard Form 25A). The penal sums of such bonds will be as follows: (Not required for contracts of $150,000 or less)

15BNAS27Q00000002 Page 7 of 44

(1) Performance Bond: The penal sum of performance bonds at the time of contract award shall be 100 percent of the original contract price.

(2) Payment Bond: The penal amount of payment bonds at the time of contract award shall be 100 percent of the original contract price.

(c) For construction contracts greater than $35,000 but not greater than $150,000, the Contracting Officer shall select two or more of the following payment protections, giving particular consideration to inclusion of an irrevocable letter of credit as one of the selected alternatives (FAR 28.102-1(b)(1)):

(1) A Payment Bond;

(2) An irrevocable letter of credit (ILC);

(3) A tripartite escrow agreement;

(4) A Certificate of Deposit; or

(5) A deposit of the types of security listed in 28.204-1 and 28.204-2.

(1) Bidders may elect to furnish individual surety bonds. If individual surety bonds are furnished for bid guarantees, payment or performance bonds, the individual sureties must submit their bonds proof of ownership and value of the assets which they claim in their net worth at time of bid opening. The Government's preferred method of proof is to have a statement of net worth prepared by a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Statements from a CPA that contain disclaimers are not acceptable. The statement of net worth on the Standard Form 28, Affidavit of Individual Surety, is insufficient and will not be accepted without additional proof of value and ownership.

(2) Bidders are cautioned that individual sureties must provide complete and detailed information in Block 9 of Standard Form 28 concerning other contracts on which they have provided bonds. This information shall include contract number, contract location, amount, and type of bond and telephone number of the involved contracting office. Failure to provide the proof and information required may result in rejection of the bid or termination of the contract for failure to provide adequate bonds.

(a) Prior to the start of construction, Contracting Officers shall call a conference with the contractor, subcontractor(s), Warden, Controller/Business Administrator, Safety Manager, Facilities Administrator, Project Representative, A&E firm, Captain and other interested personnel to discuss the statutory labor standards, prevailing wage requirements, submission of the contractor's payrolls, subcontractor's responsibil ities, institution work schedules, local policies, contraband, parking, storage of vehicles and equipment, etc.

Minutes of the conference shall be recorded, listing the names and titles of all attendees, and the subject matter of all items covered. The minutes shall be signed by the contractor and the Contracting Officer, and a signed copy placed in the contract file.

(b) The Contractor shall familiarize himself/herself with all procedures involved in normal institution routines. Any requirements which may constitute a problem or result in conflict, will be brought to the attention of the Contracting Officer or his representat ive for determination.

SUBMITTALS

Within 10 calendar days after commencement of work or as otherwise established by the Contracting Officer, all materials and articles requiring approval, as contemplated by the Materials and Workmanship clause, shall be submitted by the contractor.

The submittal process is in place to allow the Government the opportunity to determine whether materials or procedures used by the contractor are in accordance with contract requirements. It is ultimately the Contractor's responsibility via the quality control process to ensure submittal items installed under the contract and work performed on site are in accordance with industry standards and general practices.

(a) The types of submittal requirements specified in this contract may include, but is not limited to; shop drawings, product data, samples, certificates of conformance or compliance, certified test or inspection reports, equipment, materials, and miscel laneous work related submittals for construction. Individual submittal requirements are generally specified in applicable sections for each unit of work in the specifications and/or as a whole in one section in the statement of work.

(b) The Bureau of Prisons (BOP) Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) shall act for the Contracting Officer in the review and acceptance of all submittals. The

15BNAS27Q00000002 Page 9 of 44

Contractor shall submit submittals as required by the contract/specifications to the COR for transmittal to the Contracting Officer. Fabrication of any work or purchase or use of any submittals (such as materials for which samples are required or equipment, etc.) shall not take place until written acceptance is given by the COR, except at the Contractor's own risk.

(c) The Contractor shall submit all shop drawings and submittals sufficiently in advance (unless otherwise specified in the specifications) of the construction requirements to allow ample time for checking, re-submitting, and re-checking.

(d) Failure of any materials to pass their specified tests shall be sufficient cause for refusal to consider, under this contract, any further samples of the same brand or make of that material. The Government reserves the right to disapprove any material or equipment which has previously proven unsatisfactory in service.

(e) The Contracting Officer’s or designee’s approval or acceptance of submittals is not to be construed as a complete check. Approval or acceptance will not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for any error which may exist, as the Contractor is responsible for the satisfactory construction of all work. The Contractor is responsible for delivering a final product/system that is operational as intended by the contract requirements, regardless of any Government approvals or acceptance of submittals.

The Government assumes no liability during the submittal approval/acceptance process. It is the sole responsibility of the Contractor to deliver a properly functioning product or system.

CONTRACTOR USE OF PERMISES

Work Hours The project schedule is based on a normal forty (40) hour work week, eight (8) hours per day, Monday through Friday, excluding Federal holidays. The Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) shall establish the work hour time frames for the duration of the project, subject to the approval of the Contracting Officer. Work hours and work days may be altered only with a 48 hour advance approval of the Contracting Officer.

CHANGES

(a) Changes will be in accordance with the Changes clause 52.243-4 or Changes and Changed Conditions clause 52.243-5 whichever applies to this contract.

(b) When changes are made in the work that requires an equitable adjustment to the contract, the Contractor shall submit to the Contracting Officer, through the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), a written proposal for adjustment of the amount of increase or decrease. With the proposal, the Contractor shall submit an itemized breakdown in at least the following detail:

(1) Material quantities and unit cost

(2) Labor costs by material item

(3) Construction equipment cost

(4) Workmen's compensation and public liability insurance

(5) Overhead

(6) Profit or commission

(7) Employment taxes (FICA and FUTA)

(c) The maximum allowable overhead, profit and commission percentages are contained below. The percentages for overhead, profit and commission shall be negotiated and may vary according to the nature, extent and complexity of the work involved, but in no case shall exceed the following:

(1) To the Contractor, on work performed by other than his own forces. The commission is 10% in the first $20,000, 7 1/2% on the next $30,000, 5% on the balance over $50,000.

(2) To the Contractor, and/or the Subcontractors for that portion of the work performed with their respective forces. The commission is 10% overhead and 10% profit on the first $20,000, 7 1/2% overhead and 7 1/2% profit on the next $30,000, and 5% overhead and 5% profit on the balance over $50,000.

Not more than three (3) percentages, not to exceed the maximum percentage amounts shown above, will be allowed regardless of the number of Subcontractors (i.e., the mark up on work subcontracted by the Subcontractor will be limited to the overhead percentage and one profit percentage in addition to the prime Contractor's commission percentage). On proposals covering both increases and decreases in the amount of the contract, overhead, profit and commission will be allowed on the net increase only.

(d) When certified cost or pricing data are required under FAR 15.403-4 for proposals over $2,000,000, the cost or pricing data shall be submitted in accordance with FAR 15.408, Table 15-2. No itemized breakdown will be required for proposals amounting to less than $1,000.

(e) When the necessity to proceed with a change does not allow sufficient time to negotiate a modification or because of failure to reach an agreement, the Contracting Officer may issue a change order instructing the contractor to proceed on the basis of a tentative price based on the best estimate available at the time, with the firm price to be determined later. Furthermore, when the change order is issued, the contractor shall submit a proposal for cost of changes in work within 30 calendar days.

(f) The Contracting Officer will consider issuing a settlement by determination to the contract, if the contractor's proposal required by paragraphs (a) and (b) of this clause is not received within 30 calendar days, or if agreement has not been reached.

15BNAS27Q00000002 Page 15 of 44

(g) Where a change involves credit items only, a proper measure of the amount of downward adjustment in the contract price is the reasonable cost to the contractor if he/she had performed the deleted work. A reasonable allowance for overhead and profit are properly includable as part of the downward adjustment for a deductive change. The amount of such allowance is subject to negotiation.

(h) Overhead and contractor's fee percentages shall be considered to include insurance other than mentioned herein, field and office supervisors and assistants, security police, use of small tools, incidental job burdens, and general home office expenses and no separate allowance will be made therefor. Assistants to office supervisors include all clerical, stenographic and general office help. Incidental job burdens include, but are not necessarily limited to, office equipment and supplies, temporary toilets, telephone and conformance to OSHA requirements. Items such as, but not necessarily limited to, review and coordination, estimating and expediting relative to contract changes are associated with field and office supervision and are considered to be included in the contractor's overhead and/or fee percentage.

(i) The Contractor shall submit with his proposal a request for time extension, if applicable.

(j) The COR shall review the proposal and check estimates in detail, utilizing unit prices where specified or agreed upon. If they are in agreement, the COR shall forward the proposal to the Contracting Officer.

After their review, the Architect-Engineer and Project Manager will forward their comments to the Contracting Officer.

(k) If the Contracting Officer determines that an equitable adjustment is to be made, the contract shall be modified in writing utilizing the prescribed Standard Form 30 (Amendment of Solicitation/Modification of Contract)(SF-30). After the SF-30 has been signed by the Contractor and executed by the Contracting Officer, distribution shall be made as follows:

(1) Original: Contract file

(2) Copy to: Contractor Regional Project Manager Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) Architect-Engineer Firm (if applicable) Accounting Supervisor Contracting Officer

EQUITABLE ADJUSTMENTS: WAIVER AND RELEASE OF CLAIMS

(a) When the Contractor, after receipt of notification of a change made pursuant to the clause of this contract entitled "Changes" or after affirmation of constructive change thereunder, submits any claim for equitable adjustment under this clause, such claim shall include all types of adjustments in the total amounts to which that clause entitles the Contractor, including but not limited to adjustments arising out of delays or disruptions or both caused by such change. Except as the parties may otherwise expressly agree, the Contractor shall be deemed to have waived (i) any adjustments to which it otherwise might be entitled under the aforesaid clause where such claim

15BNAS27Q00000002 Page 16 of 44 fails to request such adjustment, and (ii) any increase in the amount of equitable adjustments additional to those requested in its claim.

(b) Further, the Contractor agrees that, if required by the Contracting Officer, it will execute a release, in form and substance satisfactory to the Contracting Officer, as part of the supplemental agreement setting forth the aforesaid adjustment, and that such release shall discharge the Government, its officers, agents, and employees, from any further claims, including but not limited, to further claims arising out of delays or disruptions or both caused by the aforesaid change.

__________________________________________________ (Name) __________________________________________________ (Title) __________________________________________________ (Date)

(d) Refund of unearned amounts. If the Contractor, after making a certified request for progress 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 shall-

1. Notify the Contracting Officer of such performance deficiency; and

2. Be obligated to pay the Government an amount (computed by the Contracting

Officer in the manner provided in paragraph (j) of this clause) equal to interest on the unearned amount from the 8th day after the date of receipt of the unearned amount until-

ii. The date the Contractor reduces the amount of any subsequent certified request for progress payments by an amount equal to the unearned amount.

(e) Retainage. If the Contracting Officer finds that satisfactory progress was achieved during any period for which a progress payment is to be made, the Contracting Officer shall authorize payment to be made in full. However, if satisfactory progress has not been made, the Contracting Officer 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 Contracting Officer may retain from previously withheld funds and future progress payments that amount the Contracting Officer considers adequate for protection of the Government and shall 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 shall be made for the completed work without retention of a percentage.

(f) Title, liability, and reservation of rights. All material and work covered by progress payments made shall, at the time of payment, become the sole property of the Government, but this shall not be construed as-

or

2. Waiving the right of the Government to require the fulfillment of all of the terms of the contract.

(g) Reimbursement for bond premiums.

(h) Final payment. The Government shall 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 Government arising by virtue of this contract, other than claims, in stated amounts, that the Contractor has specifically excepted from the operation of the release.
