Volume 1 - RFP Page 12

(The Agreement)

Pages 5 of 30

(3) The Contractor shall be responsible for coordinating all activities of subcontractors. This responsibility includes coordination of: preparation of shop drawings produced by different subcontractors where their work interfaces or may potentially conflict or interfere and the installation of such work; scheduling of work by subcontractors; and use of the Project site for staging and logistics.

(4) Where installation of separate Work components as shown in the Contract Documents will result in conflict or interference between such components or with existing conditions, including allowable tolerances, it is the Contractor's responsibility to bring such conflict or interference to the attention of the Contracting Officer and seek direction before fabrication, construction, or installation of any affected work. If the Contractor fabricates, constructs, or installs any work prior to receiving such direction, the Contractor shall be responsible for all cost and time incurred to resolve or mitigate such conflict or interference.

(5) Where drawings show work without specific routing, dimensions, locations, or position relative to other work or existing conditions, and such information is not specifically defined by reference to specifications or other information supplied in the Contract Documents, the Contractor is responsible for routing, dimensioning, and locating such work in coordination with other work or existing conditions in a manner consistent with Contract requirements.

(6) It is not the Contractor's responsibility to ensure that the Contract Documents comply with applicable laws, statutes, building codes and regulations. If it comes to the attention of the

Contractor that any of the Contract Documents do not comply with such requirements, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer in writing. If the Contractor performs any of the Work prior to notifying and receiving direction from the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall assume full responsibility for correction of such work, and any fees or penalties that may be assessed for non-compliance.

(7) The Contractor shall immediately bring to the Contracting Officer's attention any hazardous materials or conditions not disclosed in the Contract Documents discovered by or made known to the Contractor during the performance of the Contract.

(8) The Contractor must submit a safety plan before commencing work.

III.C. Contractor Management and Personnel FAR 52.236-6, Superintendence by the Contractor, is supplemented as follows:

(1) The Contractor shall employ sufficient management and contract administration resources, including personnel responsible for project management, field superintendence, change order administration, estimating, coordination, inspection, and quality control, to ensure the proper execution and timely completion of the Work. The Contractor shall designate a principal of the firm or other senior management official to provide executive oversight and problem resolution resources to the Project for the life of the Contract.

(2) The Contractor shall employ, and require its subcontractors to employ, qualified personnel to perform the Work. The Government reserves the right to exclude, or remove from the site or building, any personnel for reasons of incompetence, carelessness, or insubordination, who violate rules and regulations concerning conduct on federal property, or whose continued

Volume 1 - RFP Page 13

(The Agreement)

Pages 6 of 30 employment on the site is otherwise deemed by the Government to be contrary to the public interest.

(3) Repeated failure or excessive delay by the Contractor to provide qualified personnel shall be deemed a default for the purposes of the Termination for Default clause.

III.D. Project Schedule

(1) The Contractor shall use a Critical Path Method ("CPM") Project Schedule to plan, coordinate, and perform the Work. The Project Schedule shall be produced using widely used, commercially available computer software that is capable of generating and monitoring a CPM schedule and is compatible with Meridian Proliance.® For example, compatible software includes Microsoft Project,® Primavera SureTrak,® and Primavera Project Planner.®

(2) The Project Schedule shall be a rational, reasonable and realistic plan for completing the Work, and conform to requirements specified in this clause and elsewhere in this Contract.

(3) The Contractor understands and acknowledges that the preparation and proper management of the Project Schedule is a material component of the Work, and that the Contract price includes all costs of compliance with Project Schedule requirements.

(4) The Project Schedule shall depict all activities necessary to complete the Work, including, as applicable, all submittal and submittal review activities, all procurement activities, and all field activities, including mobilization, construction, start-up, testing, balancing, commissioning, and punchlist. Activities shall be sufficiently detailed and limited in duration to enable proper planning and coordination of the Work, effective evaluation of the reasonableness and realism of the Project Schedule, accurate monitoring of progress, and reliable analysis of schedule impacts.

(5) Within thirty (30) days of NTP, or such other time as may be specified herein, the Contractor shall submit its Project Schedule to the Contracting Officer, together with a written narrative describing the major work activities, activities on the critical path, and major constraints underlying the sequence and logic of the Project Schedule. The Contractor shall submit the Project Schedule in both electronic and hardcopy print format.

(6) The Contractor should anticipate that its initial submittal of the Project Schedule shall be subject to review and revision as contemplated by Paragraph (11) of this clause, and the Contractor shall devote sufficient resources for meetings, revisions, and resubmissions of the Project Schedule to address exceptions taken by the Contracting Officer to the initial submittal.

The Contractor understands and acknowledges that the purpose of the initial review and resolution of exceptions is to maximize the usefulness of the Project Schedule for the Parties during Contract performance.

(7) Activity durations shall be based upon reasonable and realistic allocation of the resources required to complete each activity, given physical and logistical constraints on the performance of the Work. All logic shall validly reflect physical or logistical constraints on relationships between activities. Except for the first and last activities in the Project Schedule, each activity

Volume 1 - RFP Page 14

(The Agreement)

Pages 7 of 30 shall have at least one predecessor and one successor relationship to form a logically connected network plan from NTP to the Contract Completion date.

(8) The Project Schedule shall incorporate milestone events specified in the Contract, including, as applicable, NTP, Substantial Completion, and milestones related to specified work phases and site restrictions. The Project Schedule shall also include Contractor-defined milestones to identify target dates for critical events, based upon the Contractor's chosen sequence of work.

(9) Unless a shorter period for updates is specified elsewhere, the Contractor shall update the Project Schedule monthly to reflect its actual progress in completing the Work, and submit the updated Project Schedule to the Contracting Officer within five (5) working days of the end of each month or other specified period.

(10) If the Contractor revises the Project Schedule after initial submission, the Contractor shall provide in writing to the Contracting Officer a narrative describing the substance of the revision, the rationale for the revision, and the impact of the revision on the projected Substantial Completion date and the available float for all activities. The Contractor shall only revise prospective activities, durations and logic, but addition of detail to prospective activities shall not be deemed a revision if the overall duration of the detailed activity does not change.

(11) If at any time the Contracting Officer finds that the Project Schedule does not comply with any Contract requirement, the Contractor shall, upon written notice of exceptions taken by the Contracting Officer, revise the Project Schedule, adjust activity progress, or provide sufficient information demonstrating compliance. Regardless of whether the Contracting Officer takes any such exception, the Contractor shall not be relieved of its responsibility for the rationality, reasonableness or realism of the Project Schedule, or its responsibility to achieve Substantial Completion within the time specified by this Contract.

(12) If the Contractor fails to sufficiently address the Contracting Officer's exceptions to the Project Schedule within thirty (30) calendar days of written notice of same, the Contracting Officer may withhold retainage until the Project is Substantially Complete or until such time as the Contractor has complied with Project Schedule requirements.

(13) The Contracting Officer shall be entitled, but not required, to rely upon the Project Schedule to evaluate the Contractor's progress, evaluate entitlement to extensions of time and determine the criticality or float of any activities described in such Project Schedule.

III.E. Extensions of Time FAR 52.211-13, Time Extensions, is supplemented as follows:

(1) If the Contractor requests an extension of the time for Substantial Completion, the Contractor shall base its request on analysis of time impact using the Project Schedule as its baseline, and shall propose as a new Substantial Completion date to account for the impact.

The Contractor shall submit a written request to the Contracting Officer setting forth facts and analysis in sufficient detail to enable the Contracting Officer to evaluate the Contractor's entitlement to an extension of time.

(2) The Contractor shall only be entitled to an extension of time to the extent that (a) Substantial Completion of the Work is delayed by causes for which the Contractor is not responsible under this Contract, and (b) the actual or projected Substantial Completion date is later than the date required by this Contract for Substantial Completion.

Volume 1 - RFP Page 15

(The Agreement)

Pages 8 of 30

(3) The Contractor shall not be entitled to an extension of time if the Contractor has not updated the Project Schedule in accordance with this Contract.

(4) The Government shall not be liable for any costs to mitigate time impacts incurred by the Contractor that occur less than 30 calendar days after the date the Contractor submits a request for extension of time in compliance with this clause.

III.F. Interpretation of Specifications and Drawings FAR 52.236-21, Specifications and Drawings for Construction, and GSAR 552.236-77, Specifications and Drawings, are supplemented as follows:

(1) Different requirements within the Contract Documents shall be deemed inconsistent only if compliance with both cannot be achieved.

(2) Unless otherwise noted, the drawings shall be interpreted to provide for a complete construction, assembly, or installation of the Work, without regard to the detail with which material components are shown in the drawings.

(1) The Contractor shall prepare and submit to the Contracting Officer shop drawings, samples, calculations, product information, mockups, and other submittals (collectively, "submittals") demonstrating compliance with Contract requirements for all Work components as specified elsewhere in this Contract. If particular submittal requirements are not specified for a component of the Work, the Contractor shall prepare submittals for such Work as directed by the Contracting Officer.

(2) The Contractor shall not proceed with work or procure products or materials described or shown in submittals until the Contracting Officer has indicated approval of the submittal. Any work or activity undertaken prior to approval shall be at the Contractor’s risk; should the Contracting Officer subsequently determine that the work or activity does not comply with the Contract, the Contractor shall be responsible for all cost and time required to comply with the Contracting Officer's determination. The Contracting Officer shall have the right to order the Contractor to cease execution of work for which submittals have not been approved. The Government shall not be liable for any cost or delay incurred by the Contractor attributable to the proper exercise of this right.

(3) The Contractor shall be entitled to receive notice of action on submittals within a reasonable time, given the volume or complexity of the submittals and the criticality of the affected activities to Substantial Completion as may be indicated in the Project Schedule. The Contractor shall not be entitled to receive notice of action on submittals containing variations from Contract requirements in less than twenty (20) working days.

(4) Sustainable Purchasing Submittals.

To simplify compliance with the Federal sustainable purchasing requirements set forth in FAR Parts 11 and 23, PBS has identified those products (“Key Sustainable Products” or “KSPs”) that are used most frequently in its contracts and developed sustainability standards for those

Where KSPs are provided by the Contractor, the Contractor must submit specific documentation of compliance with all applicable sustainable attributes. Acceptable documentation includes manufacturer specification sheets; technical data sheets; product data sheets; environmental product declarations; manufacturer submittal sheets; and manufacturer letters. Key Sustainable Products listed in the Green Procurement Compilation at https://sftool.gov/green-products/1037/key-sustainable-products?agency=9 have been pre-certified; for these products, correctly-dated screenshots showing each applicable product on the list are sufficient.

The Contractor must submit compliance documentation to the Contracting Officer at the time designated in this Contract for submittals generally. If no other submittals are required as part of this Contract, the Contractor shall submit proof of KSP compliance at least 10 business days before the start of work. The Contractor shall send KSP submittals electronically where possible and the words “KSP product submittal” included in filenames.

(1) For the purposes of FAR 52.211-10, Commencement, Prosecution and Completion of Work, and FAR 52.211-12, Liquidated Damages (Construction), the Work shall be deemed complete when it is “Substantially Complete.” The Work shall be deemed "Substantially Complete" if and only if the Contractor has completed the Work and related Contract obligations in accordance with the Contract Documents, such that the Government may enjoy the intended access, occupancy, possession, and use of the entire Work without impairment due to incomplete or deficient work, and without interference from the Contractor's completion of remaining work or correction of deficiencies in completed work. In no event shall the Work be deemed Substantially Complete if all fire and life safety systems are not tested and accepted by the Authority Having Jurisdiction, where such acceptance is required under the Contract.

(2) With reasonable advance notice, the Contractor shall submit to the Contracting Officer a written proposal recommending a Substantial Completion date (Notice of Substantial Completion). The Contracting Officer shall conduct inspections and make a determination of Substantial Completion within a reasonable time. If the Contracting Officer takes exception to the Notice of Substantial Completion, the Contractor shall be entitled to a written notice of conditions precluding determination of Substantial Completion.

(3) The Contractor shall only be entitled to an extension of time to address such conditions if, and to the extent that, the Contracting Officer provides notice of such conditions more than thirty

(30) calendar days after receipt of the Notice of Substantial Completion.

(4) Substantial Completion shall be established by the Contracting Officer's issuance of a written determination specifying the date upon which the Work is Substantially Complete.

Unless otherwise explicitly stated in a modification to the Contract providing such consideration, adjustments to the Contract price or time agreed upon therein shall be deemed to provide all compensation to which the Contractor is entitled, and shall constitute final settlement of the Contractor's entitlement to compensation on account of the change or other condition giving rise to the modification.

III.K. Liquidated Damages FAR 52.211-12, Liquidated Damages is supplemented as follows:

(1) The Contractor acknowledges that time is of the essence for the performance of the Work, and that determining actual damages from delay would be extremely difficult and impractical.

(2) If the Contract requires different completion dates for different phases or portions of the Work, the Contractor shall be liable for liquidated damages at the specified rate for each calendar day following the required completion date that the phase or portion of Work is not Substantially Complete. If a single rate is specified, the specified rate shall be apportioned between the different phases or portions of the Work.

(3) If the Government elects to accept any portion of the Work not specifically designated as a phase or portion of Work with its own required completion date, the liquidated damage rate shall be apportioned between accepted work and uncompleted work, and the Contractor's liability for liquidated damages shall be computed accordingly.
