It is the Contractor’s/Subcontractor’s responsibility to ensure project managers are notified of all deliveries prior to arrival. Projects requiring multiple deliveries from the same supplier will be treated as a subcontractor and will meet the Form 30 submission requirements.

CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITY:

Contractors operating on base will be responsible for briefing and ensuring the employees adhere to the traffic rules and regulations. The Foreman, Job Supervisor and other personnel providing workman leadership will, when possible, ensure the workers comply with these rules and regulations. Speed limit on base is 30 MPH unless otherwise posted. The speed limit in base housing areas is 15 MPH and the speed limit in parking lots is 10 MPH. In school zone when the warning signal is flashing the speed limit is 15 MPH. Individuals are to obey all entry procedures. When Security Forces personnel (on the entry points or in vehicles) give instructions, they will be complied with immediately. For your information, all base traffic rules are contained in AFI 31-218 MHAFBGM1, Guidance Memo, dated 25 July 2011, supplement to Motor Vehicle Traffic Supervision, AFI 31-218. Security Forces utilize speed detection devices and citations will be issued to violators. Personnel who park on grass or seeded areas will be cited.

k. Key Control. (IF APPLICABLE) The contractor shall establish and implement methods of making sure all keys issued to the contractor by the Government are not lost or misplaced and are not used by unauthorized persons. The contractor shall not duplicate any keys issued by the government.

1. The contractor shall immediately report to the Contracting Officer any occurrences of lost or duplicated keys.

2. In the event keys, other than master keys, are lost or duplicated, the contractor may be required, upon written direction of the contracting officer, to re-key or replace the affected lock or locks without cost to the government. The government may, however, at its option, replace the affected lock or locks or perform re-keying and deduct the cost of such from payment due the contractor. In the event a master key is lost or duplicated, all locks and keys for that system shall be replaced by the government and the total cost deducted from payment due the contractor.

3. The contractor shall prohibit the use of keys, issued by the government, by any persons other than the contractor’s employees and the opening of locked areas by contractor employees to permit entrance of persons other than contractor employees engaged in performance of contract work requirements in those areas.

GREEN PROCUREMENT:

Compliance with the Green Procurement (GP) requirements of Executive Order (EO) 13148 is mandatory. Additional requirements set forth by Section 6002 of the Resource Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA), Section 9002 of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002, and Executive Order 13101 are also mandatory. Special attention should be paid to Contract Provision FAR 52.223-4 “Recovered Material Certification” and Contract Clauses FAR 52.223-9 “Estimate of Percentage of Recovered Material Content for EPA Designated Products” and FAR 52.223-10 “Waste Reduction Program”. The contractor is required to use recycled-content and bio-based products as identified in the contract specifications and drawings; however, their use must not delay the progress of the work and must not be cost prohibitive. Materials and products provided in the completion of this contract must meet the requirements of the Statement of Work/Specifications. Recycled-content products are identified in the Environmental Protection Agency's Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines (CPGs). The United States Department of Agriculture designates bio-based products. EPA guideline items and USDA designated bio-based products are seen as the minimum that should be considered when evaluating environmentally preferable materials. Other environmentally preferable materials and products not listed, but commonly used in industry outside of the government, should also be considered. Submittals of material and product lists for all recycled-content items should list the recycled and recovered materials used and the percentage content (by weight). Submittals for bio-based products should describe the bio-based materials used, and the percentage content (by weight). Covered Products and their associated descriptions can be viewed at: http://www.epa.gov/cpg/products.htm. Contractors should follow the links regarding whether products count as “U.S. EPA-designated” or what the required recycled content for the product(s).

(i) The cost of its components mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States exceeds 50 percent of the cost of all its components. Components of foreign origin of the same class or kind for which nonavailability determinations have been made are treated as domestic; or

(ii) The construction material is a COTS item.

Foreign construction material means a construction material other than a domestic construction material.

United States means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and outlying areas.

(b) Domestic preference.

(1) This clause implements the Buy American Act (41 U.S.C. 10a-10d) by providing a preference for domestic construction material. In accordance with 41 U.S.C. 431, the component test of the Buy American Act is waived for construction material that is a COTS item (See FAR 12.505(a)(2)). The Contractor shall use only domestic construction material in performing this contract, except as provided in paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this clause.

(2) This requirement does not apply to information technology that is a commercial item or to the construction materials or components listed by the Government as follows: NONE

(3) The Contracting Officer may add other foreign construction material to the list in paragraph (b)(2) of this clause if the Government determines that

(i) The cost of domestic construction material would be unreasonable. The cost of a particular domestic construction material subject to the requirements of the Buy American Act is unreasonable when the cost of such material exceeds the cost of foreign material by more than 6 percent;

(ii) The application of the restriction of the Buy American Act to a particular construction material would be impracticable or inconsistent with the public interest; or

(iii) The construction material is not mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities of a satisfactory quality.

(c) Request for determination of inapplicability of the Buy American Act. (1)(i) Any Contractor request to use foreign construction material in accordance with paragraph (b)(3) of this clause shall include adequate information for Government evaluation of the request, including--

(A) A description of the foreign and domestic construction materials;

(B) Unit of measure;

(C) Quantity;

(D) Price;

(E) Time of delivery or availability;

(F) Location of the construction project;

(G) Name and address of the proposed supplier; and

(H) A detailed justification of the reason for use of foreign construction materials cited in accordance with paragraph (b)(3) of this clause.

(ii) A request based on unreasonable cost shall include a reasonable survey of the market and a completed price comparison table in the format in paragraph (d) of this clause.

(iii) The price of construction material shall include all delivery costs to the construction site and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free certificate may be issued).

(iv) Any Contractor request for a determination submitted after contract award shall explain why the Contractor could not reasonably foresee the need for such determination and could not have requested the determination before contract award. If the Contractor does not submit a satisfactory explanation, the Contracting Officer need not make a determination.

(2) If the Government determines after contract award that an exception to the Buy American Act applies and the Contracting Officer and the Contractor negotiate adequate consideration, the Contracting Officer will modify the contract to allow use of the foreign construction material. However, when the basis for the exception is the unreasonable price of a domestic construction material, adequate consideration is not less than the differential established in paragraph (b)(3)(i) of this clause.

(3) Unless the Government determines that an exception to the Buy American Act applies, use of foreign construction material is noncompliant with the Buy American Act.

(d) Data. To permit evaluation of requests under paragraph (c) of this clause based on unreasonable cost, the Contractor shall include the following information and any applicable supporting data based on the survey of suppliers:

Foreign and Domestic Construction Materials Price Comparison
