SECTION H – SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

DOE-H-2012 Sustainable Acquisitions under DOE Construction Contracts

Pursuant to Executive Order 13423, Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy and Transportation Management, and 13514, Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance, the Department of Energy is committed to managing its facilities in an environmentally preferable manner that will promote the natural environment and protect the health and well-being of its Federal employees and contractor service providers. In the performance of work under this contract, the Contractor shall exert its best efforts to provide its services in a manner that will promote the natural environment and protect the health and well-being of Federal and contract employees at the facility. Sustainable acquisition or environmentally preferable contracting has several interacting initiatives. Among the initiatives are the following:

• Recycled Content Products are described at http://epa.gov/cpg

• Biobased Products are described at http://www.biopreferred.gov/

• Energy efficient products are at http://energystar.gov/products for Energy Star products

• Energy efficient products are at http://www.eere.energy.gov/femp/procurement for FEMP designated products

• Environmentally Preferable Computers are at http://www.epeat.net

• Non-Ozone Depleting Alternative Products are at http://www.epa.gov/ozone/strathome.html

• Water efficient plumbing products are at http://epa.gov/watersense To the extent that the services provided by the Contractor require provision of any of the above types of products, the Contractor is expected to provide the sustainable, environmentally preferable type of product unless that type of product is not available competitively within a reasonable time, at a reasonable price, is not life cycle cost efficient in the case of energy consuming products, or does not meet reasonable performance standards. The clauses at FAR 52.223-2, Affirmative Procurement of Biobased Products under Service and Construction Contracts, 52.223-15, Energy Efficiency in Energy Consuming Products, and 52.223-17 Affirmative Procurement of EPA-Designated Items in Service and Construction Contracts, in Section I of this contract require the use of products that have biobased content, are energy efficient, or have recycled content.

In case of an apparent inconsistency between this provision and any specification elsewhere in the contract, consult the contracting officer for resolution.

DOE-H-2013 Consecutive Numbering

Due to automated procedures employed in formulating this document, clauses and provisions contained within may not always be consecutively numbered.

DOE-H-2033 Alternative Dispute Resolution

(a) The DOE and the Contractor both recognize that methods for fair and efficient resolution of contractual issues in controversy by mutual agreement are essential to the successful and timely completion of contract requirements. Accordingly, DOE and the Contractor shall use their best efforts to informally resolve any contractual issue in controversy by mutual agreement. Issues of controversy may include a dispute, claim, question, or other disagreement. The parties agree to negotiate with each other in good faith, recognizing their mutual interests, and attempt to reach a just and equitable solution satisfactory to both parties.

(b) If a mutual agreement cannot be reached through negotiations within a reasonable period of time, the parties may use a process of alternate dispute resolution (ADR) in accordance with the clause at FAR 52.233-1, Disputes. The ADR process may involve mediation, facilitation, fact-finding, group conflict management, and conflict coaching by a neutral party. The neutral party may be an individual, a board comprised of independent experts, or a company with specific expertise in conflict resolution or expertise in the specific area of controversy. The neutral party

DE-SOL-0009343 Page 11 will not render a binding decision, but will assist the parties in reaching a mutually satisfactory agreement. Any opinions of the neutral party shall not be admissible in evidence in any subsequent litigation proceedings.

(c) Either party may request that the ADR process be used. The Contractor shall make a written request to the Contracting Officer, and the Contracting Officer shall make a written request to the appropriate official of the Contractor. A voluntary election by both parties is required to participate in the ADR process. The parties must agree on the procedures and terms of the process, and officials of both parties who have the authority to resolve the issue must participate in the agreed upon process.

(d) ADR procedures may be used at any time that the Contracting Officer has the authority to resolve the issue in controversy. If a claim has been submitted by the Contractor, ADR procedures may be applied to all or a portion of the claim. If ADR procedures are used subsequent to issuance of a Contracting Officer’s final decision under the clause at FAR 52.233- 1, Disputes, their use does not alter any of the time limitations or procedural requirements for filing an appeal of the Contracting Officer’s final decision and does not constitute reconsideration of the final decision.

(e) If the Contracting Officer rejects the Contractor’s request for ADR proceedings, the Contracting Officer shall provide the Contractor with a written explanation of the specific reasons the ADR process is not appropriate for the resolution of the dispute. If the Contractor rejects the Contracting Officer’s request to use ADR procedures, the Contractor shall provide the Contracting Officer with the reasons for rejecting the request.

DOE-H-2034 Contractor Interface With Other Contractors And/Or Government Employees

The Government may award contracts to other contractors for work to be performed at a DOE-owned or –controlled site or facility. The Contractor shall cooperate fully with all other on-site DOE contractors and Government employees.

The Contractor shall not commit or permit any act which will interfere with the performance of work by any other contractor or by a Government employee
