The Total Available Fee shall not exceed 3.5% of the FY 2011 budget ($1.33B for both Pantex Plant and Y-12, and $1.50B should SRTO option be exercised).
Section B – H, Page 6
(i) Fixed Fee
The Contractor will be paid a Fixed Fee (except as identified in Section B, B- 2(a)(4), Work for Others/Other Reimbursable Work Fixed Fee) during the first year of the Base Term in the CLIN 0001B table. No Fixed Fee will be paid for the remaining years of the Contract.
(ii) Performance Incentive Fee
The Contractor will be paid a Performance Incentive Fee for accomplishments under the Performance Evaluation Plan (PEP). The Available Performance Incentive Fee is reflected in the above table for CLINs 0001B, 0001C, 0001D, and 0001E, including 0001G, if exercised.
(3) Cost Savings Incentive Fee
The Contractor will be paid a Cost Savings Incentive Fee under the approved Cost Reduction Proposal (CRP) submitted in accordance with the Contract’s Section I Clause entitled “DEAR 970.5215-4, Cost Reduction”. In the event savings are not sustained during the remainder of the Contract’s period of performance the Government is entitled to reimbursement of previously paid CSIF and will obtain it out of future fee.
Payment will be made promptly but not later than 90 days after the cost baseline data and adequate records to support validation are supplied to the Government to make a decision on the share of cost savings.
Transition Term: The Contractor may begin cost savings initiatives before the CRP is approved and may be eligible for cost savings incentive fee if the terms of the Contract’s Section I Clause entitled “DEAR 970.5215-4, Cost Reduction” can be met.
Cost savings initiatives before the CRP is approved could include changes in the full-time equivalent (FTE) baseline during the Transition Term, provided there is a corresponding reduction in costs. Savings will be paid in accordance with the Contract’s Section I Clause entitled “DEAR 970.5215-4, Cost Reduction”.
(4) Work for Others/Other Reimbursable Work Fixed Fee
The estimated cost and the available Fixed Fee for Work for Others/Other Reimbursable Work during the Base Term of the Contract and for each Option Term will be established by the NNSA prior to the commencement of the applicable year of the Contract and will be incorporated into the CLIN 0001H table through a modification to this Contract. The Fixed-Fee for Work for Others/Other Reimbursable Work will be up to 3% of the estimated cost of each project. If the work sponsor or the Government subsequently orders material changes in the amount or character of the Work for Others/Other Reimbursable Work, an equitable adjustment of the fee, if any, shall be made in accordance with the Contract’s Section I Clause entitled “DEAR 970.5243-1, Changes." If the Contractor anticipates the amount of estimated cost to
Section B – H, Page 7 change for Work for Others/Other Reimbursable Work due to new or deleted reimbursable work projects, an adjustment to the estimated cost and Work for Others/Other Reimbursable Work Fixed Fee for reimbursable work shall be submitted for approval by the Contracting Officer. Work for Others Fixed Fee is not a component of Total Available Fee under CLINS 0001B, 0001C, 0001D, 0001E and 0001G, if exercised.
(5) Provisional Payment of Fee
(i) The Fixed Fee for the Base Term of the Contract shall be paid monthly at the rate of one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual Fixed Fee per month. Such payment amounts are to be drawn down by the Contractor from the Contract’s special financial institution account in monthly installments on the last day of each month.
(ii) The Performance Incentive Fee is authorized for draw down by the Contractor from the Contract’s special financial institution account as follows:
(A) In monthly provisional fee payments equivalent to 3% of the Available Performance Incentive Fee, or
(B) Upon completion of milestones or any other methodology as set forth in the Performance Evaluation Plan (PEP) and its supporting documentation; and
(C) The balance, if any, upon issuance of the Contracting Officer’s notification in accordance with Section B, B-7, Performance Evaluation Plan.
(D) If the provisional payments made above exceed the Performance Incentive Fee earned or the Contractor fails to fully accomplish the objective/incentive for which it has received milestone completion or provisional payments, the Contracting Officer will determine if the Contractor is to refund all or part of the provisional fee it has received. Any refund made shall include interest. Interest will be paid at the published prime rate of the financial institution (depository) in which the special account is established or at the interest rate established by the Secretary of the Treasury as provided in Section 12 of the Contract Disputes Act of 1978 (Public Law 95-563) whichever is higher, which is applicable to the period in which any unearned payments were made. Interest paid resulting from this clause is an unallowable cost.
(E) The Contractor shall remit any balance due payable to the Government in accordance with directions to be provided by the Contracting Officer.
(iii) The Contractor may request approval from the Contracting Officer for semi-annual provisional payment of the Cost Savings Incentive Fee. If the provisional payment results in overpayment, the Contracting Officer will determine if the Contractor is to refund all or part of the provisional fee it has received. Any refund made shall
Section B – H, Page 8 include interest. Interest will be paid at the published prime rate of the financial institution (depository) in which the special account is established or at interest rate established by the Secretary of the Treasury as provided in Section 12 of the Contract Disputes Act of 1978 (Public Law 95-563) whichever is higher, which is applicable to the period in which any unearned payments were made. Interest paid resulting from this clause is an unallowable cost.
(6) Unearned Fee
NNSA HQ will determine how unearned fee is reinvested in the Nuclear Security Enterprise. Unearned fee will not be available for future performance periods.
(7) Except for the conditions identified in this clause, there shall be no adjustment in the amount of the Contractor's fee by reason of differences between the FY11 budgeted cost for performance of the work under this Contract and the actual cost of performance of that work.
(b) Fee Structures for CLIN 0002
(1) The fee structure for UPF will be separate and severable from the other fee in this contract and is described in this section. The fee amounts will be incorporated into the Table in CLIN 0002 above. Notwithstanding the Contract’s Section I Clause entitled “DEAR 970.5243-1, Changes,” the Maximum Available Uranium Processing Facility Fee (MAUF) percentage in Column C of the table in CLIN 0002 is not subject to adjustment.
(2) Provisional payment of MAUF under Column D in the CLIN 0002 table above will be approved by the Contracting Officer as part of the UPF Project Management Plan.
(3) Unearned fee is subject to Section B, B-2(a)(6).
B-3 SINGLE FEE
(a) For CLIN 0001. If the Contractor is part of a consortium, joint venture, and/or other
Contractor Team Arrangement as defined in FAR 9.601, the team shall share in the Available Fee defined at Section B, B-2, Contract Fee Structures. Separate additional subcontractor fees for individual team members will not be considered an allowable cost under the Contract. If a subcontractor, supplier, or lower-tier subcontractor is a wholly owned, majority owned, or affiliate of any team member, any fee or profit paid to such entity will not be considered an allowable cost under this Contract unless otherwise approved by the Contracting Officer.

If a subcontractor, supplier, or lower-tier subcontractor is a wholly owned, majority owned, or affiliate of any team member, any fee or profit paid to such entity will not be considered an allowable cost under this Contract unless otherwise approved by the Contracting Officer.
(c) The subcontractor fee restriction in the paragraphs above does not apply to members of the
Contractor team that are not wholly owned, majority owned, or affiliate of any team member, but are small business(es) or protégé firm(s) as part of an approved mentor-protégé relationship as described in DEAR 952.219-70, DOE Mentor-Protégé Program.
B-4 KEY PERSONNEL REPLACEMENT
Unless approved in advance, in writing by the Contracting Officer, should any Key Personnel be removed, replaced, or diverted by the Contractor for reasons under the Contractor’s control (other than to maintain satisfactory standards of employee competency, conduct, and integrity under the Contract’s Section I Clause entitled “DEAR 970.5203-3, Contractor’s Organization”) within the first two years of period of performance; or for a replacement Key Person within two years of being placed in the position, the Contractor shall forfeit two years of the DOE/NNSA reimbursable annual salary, bonuses and relocation costs in fee for that position for each occurrence.
B-5 OBLIGATION OF FUNDS
Pursuant to this Contract’s Section I Clause entitled “DEAR 970.5232-4, Obligation of Funds,” the total amount obligated by the Government with respect to this Contract is $4,000,000. The expenditure of appropriated funds shall be subject to the availability of funds appropriated by the Congress, which the DOE/NNSA may legally spend for such purposes.
B-6 AVAILABILITY OF APPROPRIATED FUNDS
Except as may be specifically provided to the contrary to the Contract’s Section I Clauses entitled “FAR 52.250-1, Indemnification Under Public Law 85-804, Alternate I” and “DEAR 952.250- 70, Nuclear Hazards Indemnity Agreement,” the duties and obligations of the Government hereunder calling for the expenditure of appropriated funds shall be subject to the availability of funds appropriated by the Congress, which DOE/NNSA may legally spend for such purposes.
B-7 PERFORMANCE EVALUATION PLAN (PEP)
(a) Performance Evaluation Plan. A PEP developed by NNSA for this Contract, with Contractor input, shall document the process by which the Contractor’s performance will be evaluated.
The Parties will strive to reach mutual agreement on expected business, operational and technical performance and will work together to establish the performance evaluation plan.
Section B – H, Page 10
In the event the parties cannot come to agreement on the PEP, the NNSA Nuclear Production Site Office Manager reserves the unilateral right to make the final decision, including changes thereto, on all performance objectives, goals, and measures and the methodology used to evaluate Contractor performance. The PEP shall be finalized, whether bilaterally or unilaterally, prior to the start of an appraisal period and incorporated into the Contract at Section J, Appendix B, Performance Evaluation Plan by a formal contract modification executed by the Contracting Officer. The Nuclear Production Site Office Manager may revise the PEP, consistent with Section J, Appendix A, Statement of Work (SOW), during the appraisal period of performance. The Contracting Officer will incorporate any revisions to the PEP through a contract modification. No changes will be made to the PEP with less than 60 days remaining in the appraisal period.
(b) Contractor Appraisal Self-Assessment Report. A periodic self-assessment shall be prepared by the Contractor for consideration by the Government in developing an annual Performance Evaluation Report (PER).
(c) Determination of Performance Incentive Fee
(1) NNSA will evaluate the Contractor's performance against the PEP.
(2) The fee determination will be made in accordance with the PEP and supported by the
PER. The determination as to the amount of fee earned is a unilateral determination made by the Fee Determination Official (FDO).
(3) The NNSA will promptly advise the Contractor in writing of the amount and the basis of the fee determination.
(4) Fee not earned (unearned fee) during the evaluation period will not be made available in future evaluation periods.
(d) Schedule. The Nuclear Production Site Office Manager will issue the FDO’s final total
Performance Incentive Fee amount earned determination in accordance with this Contract. A determination will be made within sixty calendar days after the receipt by the Contracting Officer of the Contractor's self assessment or seventy calendar days after the end of the evaluation period, whichever is later, or a longer period if the Contractor and Contracting Officer agree. Within ten calendar days of the FDO final determination, the Contracting Officer will issue a modification to the contract authorizing the payment of such fee. If the Contracting Officer evaluates the Contractor's performance of specific requirements on their completion, the payment of any earned fee amount will be made within seventy calendar days (or such other time period as mutually agreed to between the Contracting Officer and the Contractor) after such completion. If the determination is delayed beyond that date, the Contractor shall be entitled to interest on the determined total available fee amount earned, less any provisional payments, at the rate established by the Secretary of the Treasury under section 12 of the Contract Disputes Act of 1978 (41 U.S.C. 611) that is in effect on the payment date. This rate is referred to as the "Renegotiation Board Interest Rate," and is
Section B – H, Page 11 published in the Federal Register semiannually on or about January 1 and July 1. The interest on any late total available fee amount earned determination will accrue daily and be compounded in 30-day increments inclusive from the first day after the schedule determination date through the actual date the determination is issued. That is, interest accrued at the end of any 30-day period will be added to the determined amount of fee earned and be subject to interest if not paid in the succeeding 30-day period.

F-5 EVALUATION OF PERFORMANCE AND EXERCISE OF OPTION(S) (THIS
CLAUSE APPLIES TO CLIN 0001 ONLY)
This Contract includes several options: three options (Option Terms 1-3) extend the term of this Contract and an option to include SRTO within the scope of this Contract.
(a) Option Exercise for Additional Term
Gateway Decision: The Gateway Decision is a unilateral decision of the FDO based on the Contractor's performance rating under this Contract in accordance with the Performance Evaluation Plan, and the Contractor’s delivery of cost savings reflected in the cost savings profile in Section J, Appendix D, Merger Transformation Plan. The standard of performance is such that the score in the annual PER must be “very good” or above (or achieve 80% or better) under the Performance Evaluation Plan for the performance years evaluated under the Base Term and Option Terms, if exercised, evaluated below. The Contractor must also meet a minimum of 80% of the total projected cost savings within the cost savings profile in Section J, Appendix D, Merger Transformation Plan for the combined performance years evaluated for each gateway decision point, as reflected in the table below. If the FDO’s decision is to award additional term, the Contract will be modified unilaterally by the Contracting Officer to extend the term of the Contract, after considering NNSA requirements, in accordance with the Contract’s Section I Clause entitled “FAR 52.217-9, Option to Extend the Term of the Contract”.
Option Term 1: Commencing in the fourth year of the Contract, the Contract’s period of performance may be extended for two additional years based on the standard of performance (score) and cost savings noted above.
Option Term 2: Commencing in the sixth year of the Contract, the Contract’s period of performance may be extended for two additional years based on the standard of performance (score) and cost savings noted above.
Option Term 3: Commencing in the eighth year of the Contract, the Contract’s period of performance may be extended for one additional year based on the standard of performance (score) and cost savings noted above.

(b) Option Exercise to add SRTO
This option allows for adding the SRTO scope of work to the Contract. If the NNSA determines it is in the best interest of the Government to exercise this option, the Contract will be modified unilaterally by the Contracting Officer to add the SRTO effort. Immediately upon option exercise, the Contractor will be required to provide a Transition Plan including the same elements as noted in Section F, F-7(a) and (b). The Contractor shall also update applicable Contract requirements, as directed by the Contracting Officer, including, but not limited to, the Performance Guarantee(s) and Subcontracting Plan, at the time of option exercise. NNSA may exercise the SRTO option at the end of the first year; however the determination will be based on NNSA mission requirements and other factors.
F-6 DELIVERABLES
The primary deliverables under this Contract are described in the Statement of Work, Section J, Appendix A. To ensure that effective and efficient management systems exist for the management and operation of the sites, this Contract also requires the delivery of documents, plans, and reports for the Contracting Officer’s review and approval. The Contractor shall manage all deliverables required throughout this Contract.
F-7 DELIVERABLES DURING TRANSITION
Alternate due dates for transition deliverables may be suggested after the effective date of the Contract, provided they do not conflict with FAR or DEAR clauses. The Contracting Officer may approve changes in deliverable dates that make transition more effective and efficient for both parties.
In addition to the transition deliverables identified elsewhere in the Contract, the following deliverables shall be submitted during the Transition Term as follows:
(a) Transition Plan. The Contractor shall provide a Transition Plan upon the effective date of the
Contract for the transition activities at the Y-12 National Security Complex and Pantex Plant
Section B – H, Page 19 following the guidance provided at Section J, Appendix C, Transition Plan. The Transition Term is specified in Section F, F-2, Period of Performance. The Transition Plan will become part of Section J, Appendix C, Transition Plan. This Transition Plan is separate from, and in addition to, the Merger Transformation Plan requested in paragraph (e) of this clause.
(b) Transition Cost Estimate. The Contractor shall provide a Transition cost estimate for the transition activities at the Y-12 National Security Complex and the Pantex Plant to the Contracting Officer upon the effective date of the contract. The Transition cost estimate shall include: (1) the costs associated with the Transition Plan; and (2) the costs necessary for the Contractor to meet the transition requirements during the Transition Term. The Transition cost estimate will be subject to approval by the Contracting Officer. For the Contract’s Transition Term, the Contractor shall provide a summary by major cost elements to perform the transition activities and meet transition requirements required during the Transition Term.
(1) The Contractor shall provide a cost summary for the Transition Plan that clearly identifies by cost element, the portion of the cost proposal that pertains to each participant, if a teaming arrangement is proposed, including subcontractors. In addition, each participant and each subcontractor must provide separate exhibits, summary schedules and supporting cost information in the same format and level of detail as required below. A separate transition fee is not allowable.
(i) Labor: Identify proposed transition labor hours and unburdened labor rates by labor category and or/specific individual (including Key Personnel). Explain the basis for the proposed labor hour and labor rate estimates.
(ii) Indirects: Identify the cost elements included in each indirect rate cost pool and allocation base. Explain the basis of estimate for each indirect cost rate proposed and the methods used to derive the proposed rates.
(iii) Materials, Equipment, Subcontracts, and Other Direct Costs: Provide an exhibit that summarizes proposed materials, equipment, services, space/lease costs, travel, and other direct cost items relating to the transition effort. Show the proposed quantity, unit price, and extended amounts, and provide the basis of estimate and supporting documentation used to determine the proposed prices.
(iv) Relocation Costs: A relocation cost estimate shall be provided that separately identifies the proposed travel, services, and other direct costs items related to relocation of Key Personnel and any managers who directly report to them.
(2) The Contractor shall also separately provide a cost summary for accomplishing those tasks required during the Transition Term that are identified in Section J, Appendix A, Statement of Work (Chapter III, 2.0 Workforce Transition). In addition to the requirements of paragraph (b)(1) of this clause, costs proposed must be cross-referenced to the specific tasks in Section J, Appendix A, Statement of Work (Chapter III, 2.0 Workforce Transition) that must be accomplished during the Transition Term. A
Section B – H, Page 20 detailed schedule for accomplishment of these tasks during the Transition Term shall also be provided to support the requested cost estimate.
(c) Community Commitment Plan. The Contractor shall deliver within 120 calendar days after the effective date of the Contract, a community commitment plan that has been discussed between the Contractor and the community. The Community Commitment Plan will consist of commitments between the Contractor and the surrounding communities of the sites under this Contract for purposes of supporting the communities and their economic base. As this plan will not become part of the resulting Contract requirements, reasonable costs associated with the development of the plan will be considered allowable, however costs associated with implementing the plan will be considered unallowable.
(d) Key Personnel Cost Estimate.
(1) The Contractor shall propose initial total Key Personnel compensation costs for each of its Key Personnel for the first year of the Base Term for CLIN 0001 and CLIN 0002 upon the effective date of the Contract. The Key Personnel compensation costs will be subject to approval by the Contracting Officer during the Transition Term. For the first year of the Base Term, for Key Personnel, the Contracting Officer will approve one time salary requests. The Contractor shall provide supporting justification related to internal and external equity for each compensation request. The top contractor official’s reimbursed base salary will serve as the maximum allowable salary reimbursement level. No reimbursement above the limits specified will be allowed under the Contract for the first year of the Base Term.
(2) The Contractor shall separately identify and provide a total summary of the annual compensation costs of the Contractor’s proposed Key Personnel for the first year of the Base Term. Costs shall include annual base salaries, and applicable bonuses, incentive pay, fringe benefits, and other key personnel compensation. For each of the Key Personnel proposed, identify the individual’s position, name, current annual salary, and basis for determining the proposed annual salary. Separately identify and describe the basis of estimate for applicable fringe benefits, incentive pay, bonuses, and any other forms of Key Personnel compensation. Provide narrative support sufficient to explain the development and reasonableness of the proposed compensation costs.
(3) Notwithstanding any other term or condition set forth in the Contract, the compensation reimbursed by the Government for each of the Contractor’s Key Personnel shall not exceed $693,951 or the revised benchmark amount, in any subsequent Government fiscal year, as determined by the applicable Determination of Executive Compensation Benchmark Amount Pursuant to Section 39 of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act (41 U.S.C. 435), as Amended, as required in FAR 31.205-6, Compensation for Personal Services; paragraph (p), Limitation on allowability of compensation for certain Contractor personnel. Any amount in excess of the OFPP benchmark must be identified and excluded from the Contractor’s proposed Key Personnel Costs.

Section J, Appendix A, Statement of Work, requires that the Contractor provide a “Merger Transformation Plan” for Contracting Officer’s approval within 60 calendar days after the effective date of the Contract. The Contractor may request modifications to the MTP during the Contract term and these changes will be reviewed and approved by the Contracting Officer. The Contractor’s Management Approach and Cost Savings which was submitted by the Contractor in its proposal for purposes of evaluation for award, shall be incorporated as a part of Section J, Appendix D, Merger Transformation Plan. The MTP shall also include Performance Fee Incentives, with associated objectives, measures, and targets to be considered for inclusion in the Contract’s Performance Evaluation Plan (PEP), which may be multi-year, and be used as consideration for additional Contract term. The MTP will contain information that will be utilized for development of the CRP as described in the Contract’s Section I Clause entitled “DEAR 970.5215-4, Cost Reduction”.
(f) Conflict of Interest Compliance Plan. The Contractor shall submit a Conflict of Interest
(COI) Compliance Plan to the Contracting Officer for approval within 60 days after the effective date of this Contract including UPF. The COI Compliance Plan shall address the Contractor's approach for adhering to the Contract’s Section I Clauses entitled “DEAR 952.209-72, Organizational Conflicts of Interest Alternate I” and “DEAR 970.5227-3, Technology Transfer Mission Alternate II” and describe its procedures for aggressively self-identifying and resolving both organizational and employee conflicts of interest. The COI Compliance Plan will also serve as the minimum standards for the conflicts of interest portion of the Contractor’s “written code of business ethics and conduct” which is required by this Contract’s Section I Clause entitled “FAR 52.203-13, Contractor Code of Business Ethics and Conduct.” The overall purpose of the COI Compliance Plan is to demonstrate how the Contractor will assure that its operations meet the highest standards of ethical conduct, and how its assistance and advice are impartial and objective. The COI Compliance Plan shall include the minimum standards at Section J, Appendix Q, Minimum Standards for Contractor’s COI Plans.
(g) UPF Project Management Plan. Section J, Appendix A, Statement of Work, Chapter IV, requires that the Contractor provide an updated “Project Management Plan” for Contracting Officer’s approval within 90 calendar days after start of transition. The Acquisition Executive will maintain baseline control as prescribed in DOE O 413.3B.
