E-Verify Program. U.S. law requires companies to employ only individuals who may legally work in the United States – either U.S. citizens, or foreign citizens who have the necessary authorization. This diverse workforce contributes greatly to the vibrancy and strength of our economy, but that same strength also attracts unauthorized employment. E-Verify is an Internet-based system that allows businesses to determine the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States. E-Verify is fast, free and easy to use – and it’s the best way employers can ensure a legal workforce.

The Contractor must pre-screen employees using the E-verify Program (http://www.uscis.gov/e-verify) website to meet the established employment eligibility requirements as indicated above.

The vendor must ensure that the employee has two valid forms of Government issued identification prior to enrollment to ensure the correct information is entered into the E-verify system.

t. Final inspection.

Percent Complete

With each update, update the percent complete for each activity started, based on the realistic assessment of earned value. Activities which are complete but for remaining minor punch list work and which do not restrain the initiation of successor activities may be declared 100 percent complete. To allow for proper schedule management, cost load the correction of punch list from government pre-final inspection activity(ies) not less than 1% of the total contract value which activity(ies) may be declared 100% complete upon completion and correction of all punch list work identified during pre-final inspection(s).

Remaining Duration

Update the remaining duration for each activity based on the number of estimated work days it will take to complete the activity. Remaining duration may not mathematically correlate with percentage found under paragraph entitled Percent Complete.

Anticipated Adverse Weather

Reflect the number of anticipated adverse weather delays allocated to a weather sensitive activity in the activity's calendar.

The following schedule of monthly anticipated adverse weather delays is based on NOAA data and will constitute the baseline for anticipate adverse weather.

Time extensions maybe granted under the DEFAULT contract clause if the weather at the site is more severe than the adverse weather anticipated for any given month and if the unusually severe weather can be shown to actually cause a delay to the completion of the project – that is cause impact/delay to activities on the critical path. The delay must be beyond the control and without fault or negligence of the contractor.

Monthly Anticipated Adverse Weather Delay Work Days Based on 5 Day Work Week:

Jan 22, Feb 20, Mar 14, Apr 0, May 0, Jun 0, Jul 4, Aug 3, Sep 4, Oct 1, Nov 20, Dec 22.

Submittals showing variations from contract requirements require Government approval and will be considered only where advantageous to Government.

Check the column "variation" of ENG Form 4025 for submittals which include proposed variations requested by the Contractor. Set forth in writing the reason for any variations and identify/annotate all variations in the content of the submittal. The Government reserves the right to rescind inadvertent approval of submittals containing unnoted variations. All submittals containing variations require Government approval.
