Complete and Return Contract Line Item Schedule. Offerors must insert a price on all numbered items of the CLIN Schedule. Failure to do so may result in the bid being unacceptable.

Performance:

Reference: Financial Management Regulation, Volume 3, Chapter 8, Specific Guidelines for Maintenance and Repair Projects. Current fiscal year appropriations may be obligated for those maintenance and repair contracts awarded near the end of the fiscal year, even though contractor performance may not begin until the following fiscal year. However, the contract must satisfy a bona fide need that arose in or before the fiscal year of the appropriation to be charged. In addition, contracts awarded near the end of the fiscal year must contain a specific requirement that work begin before January 1 of the following calendar year. The foregoing guidelines on required start dates do not apply to cases in which an installation or contracting officer is required to place an order or contract with a foreign government agency because of a legally binding provision in a treaty or other international agreement. Guidelines for the administrative contracting officer to use in determining the commencement of work are as follows:

1. Physical Onsite Evidence. A visual inspection of the work site discloses significant work has been accomplished, or contractor employees actually are engaged in work performance. (No further verification is necessary.)

2. Documentary Evidence. If physical onsite evidence of performance does not exist, and to prevent unwarranted default proceedings, the contractor may be requested to produce documentary evidence that cost has been incurred or material has been ordered to allow performance of the contract.
