In accordance with the clause FAR 52.232-5, Payments under Fixed-Price Construction Contracts, the contractor shall, within 10 days after receipt of notice of award, submit to the Contracting Officer for approval, a Schedule of Prices.

It shall state the quantities for each of the various types of work, the unit prices, and extended totals.

Subcontractors who may be involved in more than one category of work must provide the same breakout data for each category. The submission of the required data shall not otherwise affect the contract terms.

H.2. GS1338 Notice to the Government of Delays

In the event the contractor encounters difficulty in meeting performance requirements, or when it anticipates difficulty in complying with the contract delivery schedule or date, or whenever the contractor has knowledge that any actual or potential situation is delaying or threatens to delay the timely performance of this contract, the contractor shall immediately notify the contracting officer and the COR, in writing, giving pertinent details. This data shall be informational only in character.

Notice under this provision shall not be construed as a waiver by the Government of any delivery schedule or date or of any rights or remedies provided by law or under this contract.

H.3. GS1348 Accident Reporting

If an accident occurs on Government-controlled facilities, a report must be provided to the Contracting Officer's Representative and the Contracting Officer within 48 hours. An accident is defined as an event which causes injury, illness, or loss or damage to Government-owned or private property. The contractor will cooperate with any ensuing Government accident investigation.

H.4. GS1354 List of Subcontractors (Construction)

For purposes of monitoring compliance with the insurance and payroll reporting requirements of this contract, the contractor shall furnish a listing of all subcontractors to the Contracting Officer within 10 calendars days after contract award.

H.5. GS1366 Nondiscrimination Notice To U.S. Department of the Interior Contractors, Subcontractors, and Lessors (January 2000)

Based upon law, Executive Order, or internal policy, the Department of the Interior prohibits discrimination in the workplace, including sexual harassment, based on race, color, national origin, sex, religion, disability, age, or sexual orientation. The Department urges its contractors, subcontractors, and lessors to develop and enforce comprehensive anti-discrimination policies for their places of work.

H.6. GS1414 Contractor Personnel Clearance and Identity Credentials

(a) During all operations on Government premises, contractor personnel shall comply with the rules and regulations governing the conduct of personnel and the operation of the facility.

(b) USGS rules regarding physical security and personnel security apply to all personnel in USGS facilities. The rules are contained in the following directives, available at http://www.usgs.gov/usgs-manual/handbook/index.html:

G15PS00507 Page 12 of 29

Physical Security Handbook 440-2-H National Security Position Handbook (440-7-H)

(c) Each contractor (or subcontractor) employee requiring recurring access to USGS facilities will be required to obtain a USGS-issued identification badge. Government-issued identity credentials must be worn upon entry and displayed at all times while on federally controlled property, unless otherwise instructed by the COR. Prior to obtaining the badge, the contractor is required to initiate a background suitability check on each such employee in accordance with USGS National Security Position Handbook. The type of background investigation required is based on the risk/sensitivity level designation, as described in the Statement of Work. This clearance/credential requirement does not apply if the contractor does not have any unsupervised IT system access and will only need building access for less than 6 months or only occasional building access (such as for periodic equipment maintenance). In those cases, building procedures for visitors will be applied.

(d) At least 2 weeks before starting work, the contractor will provide a listing to the COR/technical liaison identifying contractor and subcontractor employees requiring access to USGS facilities or systems for performance of work hereunder.

(e) The contractor employees are required to complete the applicable clearance request forms provided by the COR. The following forms, or their equivalent may be used to initiate the credentialing process: SF 85 or SF 85-P (which includes authorization for credit check), SF 86, OF-306, and/or other forms designated for this purpose by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), Federal Protective Service, or other federal agency in whose space work will be performed under this contract. The SF 86 must be completed on-line at http://www.opm.gov/e-qip/ and printed out by the employee. Contractor employees must present themselves for fingerprinting, together with the printed SF 86, other completed forms, at least 14 calendar days before starting work under this contract. If fewer than 14 days remain before the scheduled start of contract performance, the contractor employee may be allowed temporary, supervised access but must complete this application process as soon as practicable, normally within a day of his or her first arrival at the facility. An employee's refusal to provide or authorize provision of information may constitute grounds for denial or revocation of credentials. Government personnel may contact the contractor/subcontractor employee being screened or investigated in person, by telephone or in writing, and the contractor agrees to make them available for such contact. If a contractor a employee already holds a credential issued by a federal agency after clearance through OPM, provide documentation supporting this status to the COR.

USGS security officials will determine if the existing clearance can be accepted without further investigation.

(f) Badges/credentials issued upon satisfactory completion of a preliminary National Agency Check (NAC) may be revoked if the subsequent NAC with Inquiries (NACI) investigation produces an unfavorable determination. Individuals who do not pass the background investigation cannot be permitted to hold a building pass, allowed entry into the building for contract work, or permitted access to USGS systems (whether remote or on-site). In such cases, the Contractor will be required to sign (or have their subcontractor sign) a notification form indicating that their employee has been informed of the results of the background check. The Government will be the final authority in determining access privileges. The Government's exercise of its right to grant and revoke the access of particular individual(s) to its facilities, systems, or parts thereof shall not constitute a breach or change to the Contract, regardless of it impact on any individual's ability to perform work under the Contract.

(g) The Government reserves the right to require a re-submission of clearance forms and a new background investigation at any time. Failure to provide the documents within the specified time period will result in removal of the employee until such time that the documents are submitted and clearance granted. Should removal be necessary, salary/wages and other costs associated with the removed employee are not allowable or allocable under this contract. If removal would result in understaffing or non-performance of contract requirements, the Contractor shall provide a qualified and cleared replacement.

Failure to do so will entitle to Government to a downward adjustment in price reflecting the reduced level of performance.

(h) When any of their personnel leaves the company's employ, is reassigned to other work, or otherwise no longer requires access to USGS facilities or USGS computer systems, the contractor shall immediately advise the USGS COR so that those user accounts and credentials can be cancelled. The contractor will ensure that the ID badge and keys (if any) are retrieved and promptly returned to the COR, who will forward them to the issuing USGS security official. The COR must be notified in advance of any potentially unfriendly termination of an employee or subcontractor.

(i) The contractor will report any lost keys or badges to the COR within 24 hours. The COR will relay the information to the responsible building security officials. All badges and keys shall be returned to the COR at the completion of this contract.

(j) The requirements of this clause must be included in any subcontracts in which subcontract workers will need building or unsupervised system access as described in paragraph (b).

G15PS00507 Page 13 of 29

(k) For awards with no designated COR, that function will be performed by the employee designated as "Technical Liaison" (if any), or by the employee named as the "ship to" addressee.
