(a) The Contracting Officer may, at any time, by written order to the Contractor, require the Contractor to stop all, or any part, of the work called for by this contract for a period of 90 days after the order is delivered to the Contractor, and for any further period to which the parties may agree. The order shall be specifically identified as a stop-work order issued under this clause. Upon receipt of the order, the Contractor shall immediately comply with its terms and take all reasonable steps to minimize the incurrence of costs allocable to the work covered by the order during the period of work stoppage.

(1) Cancel the stop-work order; or

(2) Terminate the work covered by the order as provided in the Termination clause of this contract.

(b) If a stop-work order issued under this clause is canceled or the period of the order or any extension thereof expires, the Contractor shall resume work. The Contracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment in the delivery schedule, the estimated cost, the fee, or a combination thereof, and in any other terms of the contract that may be affected, and the contract shall be modified, in writing, accordingly, if--

(1) The stop-work order results in an increase in the time required for, or in the Contractor's cost properly allocable to, the performance of any part of this contract; and

(2) The Contractor asserts its right to the adjustment within 30 days after the end of the period of work stoppage;

provided, that, if the Contracting Officer decides the facts justify the action, the Contracting Officer may receive and act upon the claim submitted at any time before final payment under this contract.

(c) If a stop-work order is not canceled and the work covered by the order is terminated for the convenience of the Government, the Contracting Officer shall allow reasonable costs resulting from the stop-work order in arriving at the termination settlement.

(d) If a stop-work order is not canceled and the work covered by the order is terminated for default, the Contracting Officer shall allow, by equitable adjustment or otherwise, reasonable costs resulting from the stop-work order.

Section G - Contract Administration Data

SECTION G CLAUSES

G002 PAYMENT SCHEDULE AND INVOICE SUBMISSION

The Contractor shall submit invoices pertaining to this contract action via e-mail.

The subject line shall include the contract number, project number, if known, and an invoice number.

CEFC-S0invoices@usace.army.mil

CEFC-Payments@usace.army.mil

Instructions for Final Invoices

1. Cost Contracts: The final invoice (public voucher) must be submitted directly to the Contracting Officer and is subject to review and acceptance the Program Manager and requires approval by the Contracting Officer prior to final payment being released.

- Universities: Final payments will be approved once the Contracting Officer verifies the cumulative amount invoiced matches the contract price. If the amount invoiced does not match the final contract price a modification to de-obligate unused funds may be necessary prior to paying the final invoice (public voucher).

- Businesses: The final invoice will not be approved for payment until after the Program Manager accepts all deliverables prior to payment, and the invoice is reviewed and approved by the Contracting Officer. Final payment will not be approved until the Contracting Officer receives an audit or receives a low-risk memorandum from DCAA or another cognizant Government authority.

In accordance with FAR 42.705: All final Indirect Cost rates are subject to review and approval by the Contracting Officer. Once the audit or low-risk memorandum is received, the Contracting Officer will verify the final invoice cumulative amounts matches the final contract price and complete a modification to de-obligate unused funds if necessary prior to approving payment for the final invoice.

Summary: For cost contracts, final Public Voucher's must always be reviewed/approved by a KO, and the P.M. must be involved - i.e. acceptance.

2. Firm Fixed-Price Contracts: The final invoice must be submitted directly to the Contracting

Officer and is subject to review and acceptance the Program Manager and requires approval by the Contracting Officer prior to payment being released.

- Final invoice that match the contract price: once the Program Manager accepts the final deliverables, the Contracting Officer will approve the final invoice for payment.

- Final invoices that do not match the contract price: once the Program Manager accepts the final deliverables, the invoice is subject to review and approval by the Contracting Officer. A modification to de-obligate unused funds may be necessary prior to paying the final invoice.

Summary: For firm-fixed-price contracts: All final invoices for FFP contracts could go to CT for KO review; however, anytime the invoice total does NOT match the contract price, CT needs the final invoice so that a de-obligation modification can be started, and a KO can approve the invoice.
