33. DISPUTES CLAUSE
a. Except as provided in the Contract Disputes Act of 1978 (41 U.S.C. 7101- 7109) (the Act), all disputes arising under or relating to this lease shall be resolved under this clause and the provisions of the Act.
b. "Claim", as used in this clause, means a written demand or written assertion by the Lessee seeking, as a matter of right, the payment of money in a sum certain, the adjustment of interpretation of lease terms, or other relief arising under or relating to this lease. A claim arising under this lease, unlike a claim relating to this lease, is a claim that can be resolved under a lease clause that provides for the relief sought by the Lessee. However, a written demand or written assertion by the Lessee seeking the payment of money exceeding $100,000 is not a claim under the Act until certified as required by subparagraph c.(2) below. The routine request for rental payments that is not in dispute is not a claim under the Act. The request may be converted to a claim under the Act, by this clause, if it is disputed either as a liability or amount or is not acted upon in a reasonable time.
c.
(1) A Claim by the Lessee shall be made in writing and submitted to the Real
Estate Contracting Officer for a written decision. A claim by the Government against the Lessee shall be subject to a written decision by the Real Estate Contracting Officer.
(2) For Lessee claims exceeding $100,000, the Lessee shall submit with the claim a certification that—
(i) the claim is made in good faith; and
(ii) supporting data are accurate and complete to the best of the Lessee's knowledge and belief; and
(iii) the amount requested accurately reflects the lease adjustment for which the Lessee believes the Government is liable.
(3) If the Lessee is an individual, the certificate shall be executed by that individual. If the Lessee is not an individual, the certification shall be executed by –
(i) a senior company official in charge of the Lessee's location involved; or
(ii) an officer or general partner of the Lessee having overall responsibility of the conduct of the Lessee's affairs.
d. For Lessee claims of $100,000 or less, the Real Estate Contracting Officer must, if requested in writing by the Lessee, render a decision within 60 days of the request. For Lessee-certified claims over $100,000, the Real Estate Contracting Officer must, within 60 days, decide the claim or notify the Lessee of the date by which the decision will be made.
e. The Real Estate Contracting Officer's decision shall be final unless the Lessee appeals or files a suit as provided in the Act.
f. At the time a claim by the Lessee is submitted to the Real Estate Contracting Officer or a claim by the Government is presented to the Lessee, the parties, by mutual consent, may agree to use alternative means of dispute resolution. When using alternate dispute resolution procedures, any claim, regardless of amount, shall be accompanied by the certificate described in paragraph c.(2) of this clause, and executed in accordance with paragraph c.(3) of this clause.
g. The Government shall pay interest, or the amount found due and unpaid by the Government from (1) the date the Real Estate Contracting Officer received the claim (properly certified if required), or (2) the date payment otherwise would be due, if that date is later, until the date of payment. Simple interest on claims shall be paid at the rate, fixed by the Secretary of the Treasury as provided in the Act, which is applicable to the period during which the Real Estate Contracting Officer receives the claim and then at the rate applicable for each 6-month period as fixed by the Treasury Secretary during the pendency of the claim. Rental amounts due to the Government by the Lessee will have interest and penalties as set out in the condition on CONSIDERATION.
h. The Lessee shall proceed diligently with the performance of the lease, pending final resolution of any request for relief, claim, or action arising under the lease, and comply with any decision of the Real Estate Contracting Officer.
34. COVENANT AGAINST CONTINGENT FEES
The Lessee warrants that no person or selling agency has been employed or retained to solicit or secure this lease upon an agreement or understanding for a commission, percentage, brokerage, or contingent fee, excepting bona fide employees or bona fide established commercial or selling agencies maintained by the Lessee for the purpose of securing business. For breach or violation of this warranty, the United States shall have the right to annul this lease without liability or, in its discretion, to require the Lessee to pay, in addition to the lease rental or consideration, the full amount of such commission, percentage, brokerage, or contingent fee.
35. OFFICIALS NOT TO BENEFIT
No Member of or Delegate to Congress or Resident Commissioner shall be admitted to any share or part of this lease or to any benefits to arise therefrom.
However, nothing herein contained shall be construed to extend to any incorporated company if the lease is for the general benefit of such corporation or company.
36. SEVERAL LESSEES
If more than one Lessee is named in this lease the obligations of said Lessees herein contained shall be joint and several obligations.
37. EXECUTIVE ORDER 13658
Any reference in this section to “prime contractor” or “contractor” shall mean the Lessee and any reference to “contract” shall refer to the Lease.
The parties expressly stipulate this contract is subject to Executive Order 13658, the regulations issued by the Secretary of labor in 29 CFR Part 10 pursuant to the Executive Order, and the following provisions.
a. Minimum Wages.
(1) Each worker (as defined in 29 CFR 10.2) engaged in the performance of this contract by the prime contractor or any subcontractor, regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the contractor and worker, shall be paid not less than the applicable minimum wage under Executive Order 13658.
(2) The minimum wage required to be paid to each worker performing work on or in connection with this contract between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2015 shall be $10.10 per hour. The minimum wage shall be adjusted each time the Secretary of Labor’s annual determination of the applicable minimum wage under section 2(a)(ii) of Executive Order 13658 results in a higher minimum wage. Adjustments to the Executive Order minimum wage under section 2(a)(ii) of Executive Order 13658 will be effective for all workers subject to the Executive Orders beginning January 1 of the following year. If appropriate, the contracting officer, or other agency official overseeing this contract shall ensure the contractor is compensated only for the increase in labor costs resulting from the annual inflation increases in the Executive Order 13658 minimum wage beginning on January 1, 2016. The Secretary of Labor will publish annual determinations in the Federal Register no later than 90 days before such new wage is to take effect. The Secretary will also publish the applicable minimum wage on www.wdol.gov (or any successor Web site). The applicable published minimum wage is incorporated by reference into this contract.
(3) The contractor shall pay unconditionally to each worker all wages due free and clear and without subsequent deduction (except as otherwise provided by 29 CFR 10.23), rebate, or kickback on any account. Such payments shall be made no later than one pay period following the end of the regular pay period in which such wages were earned or accrued. A pay period under this Executive Order may not be of any duration longer than semi-monthly.
(4) The prime contractor and any upper-tier subcontractor shall be responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or lower-tier subcontractor with the Executive Order minimum wage requirements. In the event of any violation of the minimum wage obligation of this clause, the contractor and any subcontractor(s) responsible therefore shall be liable for the unpaid wages.
(5) If the commensurate wage rate paid to a worker on a covered contract whose wages are calculated pursuant to a special certificate issued under 29 U.S.C.
214(c), whether hourly or piece rate, is less than the Executive Order minimum wage, the contractor must pay the Executive Order minimum wage rate to achieve compliance with the Order. If the commensurate wage due under the certificate is greater than the Executive Order minimum wage, the contractor must pay the 14(c) worker the greater commensurate wage.
b. Withholding. The agency head shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld from the prime contractor under this or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to pay workers the full amount of wages required by Executive Order 13658.
c. Contract Suspension/Contract Termination/Contractor Debarment. In the event of a failure to pay any worker all or part of the wages due under Executive Order 13658 or 29 CFR Part 10, or a failure to comply with any other term or condition of Executive Order 13658 or 29 CFR Part 10, the contracting agency may on its own action or after authorization or by direction of the Department of Labor and written www.wdol.gov notification to the contractor, take action to cause suspension of any further payment, advance or guarantee of funds until such violations have ceased. Additionally, any failure to comply with the requirements of this clause may be grounds for termination of the right to proceed with the contract work. In such event, the Government may enter into other contracts or arrangements for completion of the work, charging the contractor in default with any additional cost. A breach of the contract clause may be grounds for debarment as a contractor and subcontractor as provided in 29 CFR 10.52.
d. The contractor may not discharge any part of its minimum wage obligation under Executive Order 13658 by furnishing fringe benefits or, with respect to workers whose wages are governed by the Service Contract Act, the cash equivalent thereof.
e. Nothing herein shall relieve the contractor of any obligation under Federal, State or local law, or under contract, for the payment of a higher wage to any worker, nor shall a lower prevailing wage under any such Federal, State, or local law, or under contract, entitle a contractor to pay less than $10.10 (or the minimum wage as established each January thereafter) to any worker.
f. Payroll Records.
(1) The contractor shall made and maintain for three years of records containing the information specified in paragraphs f(1)(i) through (vi) of this section for each worker and shall make the records available for inspection and transcription by authorized representative of the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor:
