The Contractor shall ensure that all employees practice utilities conservation within Government facilities.

9. GOVERNMENT INSIGHT

a. In the spirit of streamlining, the Government is embracing the concept of insight into contract status and performance evaluation rather than traditional oversight. Within this concept, the Contractor shall permit the Contracting Officer, Contracting Officer Representative (COR) or authorized representative(s) access to all data, records, and facilities used in the performance of this contract. These Government quality assurance personnel will be authorized representatives for obtaining this desired insight.

b. The Contractor agrees to partner with USSTRATCOM to prioritize projects, and make recommendations for operating efficiencies. Budget constraints and statutory cost limitations must be considered and may significantly influence decisions. The Contractor may be required to prepare briefings and participate in discussions with USSTRATCOM officials to support the position of the command for program prioritization.

a. The Government will not be held responsible for damages to property or for injuries or death to persons, which might occur without fault on the part of the Government as a result of, or incident to, performance of the contract.

b. The Contractor shall not be liable for any injury to Government personnel or damage to Government property arising from the use of products provided by the Contractor, unless such injury or damage is due to the fault or negligence of the Contractor.

11. ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AVOIDANCE

a. The Contractor shall acknowledge familiarity with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Part 9, Subpart 9.5, entitled “Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest,” and agrees to avoid conflicts of interest in accordance with the principles set forth in this subpart. Since the Contractor under the terms of this contract will have access to Government and third party data which might place the Contractor in an organizational conflict of interest, the Contractor agrees to perform this contract as set forth below:

(1) To refrain from unauthorized use or disclosure to any individual, corporation, or organization of information/data/software (referred to hereinafter as “data”) proprietary to other companies coming into its possession in connection with the work under this contract for as long as it remains proprietary.

(2) To execute company-to-company written agreements with companies having a proprietary interest in such data. These agreements shall prescribe the scope of authorized use of such data as well as necessary safeguards against unauthorized use or disclosure, and other terms and conditions to be agreed upon between the parties thereto. A copy of company-to-company agreements shall be furnished to the Contracting Officer promptly after execution of the contract.

(3) To obtain from each of its employees, whose responsibility in connection with the work under this contract may be reasonably expected to involve access to such proprietary data or classified Government information, a written agreement, which, in substance shall provide that the employee will not, during employment by the Contractor or thereafter, disclose any such proprietary data or classified Government information to which the employee had access in connection with the work under this contract.

(4) To refrain from utilizing proprietary data or classified Government information coming into its possession in connection with work under this contract for purposes other than those for which it has been furnished, unless specifically authorized by the organization providing such proprietary data or Government information.

(5) To hold the Government harmless for any cost/loss resulting from the unauthorized use or disclosure of third party data or software by the Contractor, its employees, subcontractors, or agents.

(6) This provision shall remain in effect so long as the third party data remains proprietary and/or the Government information is classified.

b. The Contractor warrants that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, there are no relevant facts or circumstances which could give rise to an organizational conflict of interest, as defined in FAR Subpart 9.5, or that the Contractor has disclosed all such relevant information.

c. If a Contractor determines that it, or any potential subcontractor, has an organizational conflict of interest, or a potential organizational conflict of interest, then the Contractor shall address the conflict of interest, and shall provide a mitigation plan for the conflict of interest. The mitigation plan shall relieve the organizational conflict of interest such that the full scope of work contemplated by the solicitation can be performed by the Contractor.

d. The Contractor agrees that if an actual or potential organizational conflict of interest is discovered after award, the Contractor shall make full disclosure in writing to the Contracting Officer. This disclosure shall include a description of the actions the Contractor has taken, or proposes to take, after consultation with the Contracting Officer, to avoid, mitigate, or neutralize the actual or potential conflict.

e. The Contracting Officer may terminate this contract for convenience, in whole or in part, if he/she deems termination necessary, to avoid an organizational conflict of interest. If the Contractor was aware of a potential organizational conflict of interest prior to award, or discovered an actual or potential conflict after award but did not disclose it, or misrepresented relevant information to the Contracting Officer, the Government may terminate the contract for default, debar the Contractor from Government contracts, or pursue other remedies as may be permitted by law or this contract.

f. The general rules in FAR 9.505 prescribe limitations on contracting as the means of avoiding, neutralizing, or mitigating organizational conflicts of interest that might otherwise exist in the stated situations. Illustrative examples are also provided in FAR 9.508. The two underlying principles are: preventing the existence of conflicting roles that might bias a Contractor’s judgment; and preventing unfair competitive advantage by a Contractor competing for award.

g. Except with the prior written consent of the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall not compete (as a prime Contractor, subcontractor, main supplier, or consultant) during the period of this contract, including any extension thereof, and for one year thereafter, for the award of any contract for, supplies, services, or construction which was generated under this contract. This prohibition does not prohibit the Contractor from competing on the follow-on to this contract.

12. PERMITS AND RESPONSIBILITIES FOR WORK

The Contractor shall, without additional expenses to the Government, obtain all licenses and permits required for the performance of the work. The Contractor shall be responsible for all damages to persons or property that occur as a result of the person’s fault or negligence in connection with the performance of the work.

13. REQUIRED INSURANCE

(IAW FAR 28.307)

The Contrac tor shall, at its own expense, procure and thereafter maintain the following kinds of insurance with respect to performance under the contract:

a. Workmen’s Compensation and Employer's Liability Insurance, as required by law except that if this contract is to be performed in a state which does not require or permit private insurance, then compliance with the statutory or administrative requirements in any such state will be satisfactory.
