3.0 OTHER APPLICABLE CONDITIONS

3.1 Period of Performance

Period of performance for SAP would be “the date of award through final delivery unless otherwise specified.”

3.2 Place of Performance

The primary place of performance will be the Contractor’s facilities or other USCG approved location, if applicable.

3.3 Turn-around Time/Delivery Schedule

The required turn-around time for overhaul is (Ex:120 days after receipt of material (ARM) at the Contractor’s facility.) Turn-around time is defined as beginning at the time of receipt of component at the Contractor’s facility and ending at the time of delivery to ALC Elizabeth City, NC. The USCG desires early deliveries therefore early shipments are encouraged as long as no additional costs are incurred by the USCG. All requests for time extensions shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer in writing and shall include substantiation of the need for such time extension(s) IAW FAR 52.212-4 (f) excusable delays. If nonperformance is not covered by an excusable delay, the Contractor and the Contracting Officer shall negotiate the consideration for the approval of the extended delivery date at which time a modification to the task order will be issued to reflect the consideration and the extension. The Contractor may also propose a staggered delivery schedule based on plant capability for large quantity purchase order orders.

3.3.1 Delivery – Dock to dock; no customs, duties and government will not provide assistance or take responsibility for customs clearance of government material. The government has no preference in freight forwarders; the contractor’s delivery obligation shall remain unchanged.

3.4 Accelerated Turn-around Time and Delivery

In the event an accelerated turn-around time and delivery is needed, the Contractor shall be entitled to compensation for additional labor hours and expedited freight costs necessary to complete performance earlier than the required turn-around time and delivery schedule established in the purchase order. After receiving a written request from the Contracting Officer for an accelerated turn-around time and delivery, the Contractor shall provide a written response within two (2) business days advising if an accelerated turn-around time and delivery can be accomplished and include any additional costs necessary for the accelerated performance. Accelerated performance will be authorized in writing via a purchase order modification.

3.5 Urgent Requirements

Aircraft on the Ground (AOG) status necessitates a special schedule. In the event an AOG status occurs, the Contractor will be notified of the condition and requested to provide a response within twenty four (24) hours of the request. The Contractor’s response shall provide status of the component(s) needed to satisfy the AOG condition that includes what USCG items in-house for overhaul are closest to completion under normal working conditions and an estimate of the labor hours needed to accelerate overhaul completion. The Contracting Officer will issue a purchase order modification authorizing overtime premium if necessary with a not-to-exceed price for the work and provide shipping instructions. Upon completion of overhaul, the Contractor shall submit actual pricing for the AOG requirement and a modification will be issued by the Contracting Officer to definitize pricing for the work.

3.6 Warranty

The Contractor’s standard commercial warranty as stated in the purchase order shall apply to this SOW. Pursuant to the requirements of FAR 46.706(b)(5), the Contractor shall stamp or mark the supplies delivered or otherwise furnish notice with the supplies of the existence of the warranty. Markings may be brief but should include:

a) A brief statement that a warranty exists.

b) The substance of the warranty.

c) Its duration.

d) Who to notify if the supplies are found to be defective.

For commercial items, the Contractor’s trade practice in warranty marking is acceptable if sufficient information is presented for Government personnel and users to identify the warranted services/supplies.

In order to be determined Unusually Damaged, a component must be received for routine overhaul and upon evaluation any one of the following conditions are discovered:

· Obvious misuse

· Cannibalization

· Crash damage

Note: Only components meeting one or more of the above criteria may be considered as Unusually Damaged. All other components shall be overhauled IAW the firm fixed prices established at award.

3.8.1 Unusual Damage Report Requirements

When a component is processed for Unusual Damage Evaluation, the Contractor shall, within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of the component, submit an inspection condition report, photographs if requested, and price proposal for the additional work. The price proposal shall contain the purchase order number, line item number, NSN, P/N, S/N, nomenclature and pricing for all materials and labor needed to return the component to RFI condition. The hourly labor rate will be charged at the firm fixed hourly labor rate contained in the Schedule. The Contractor’s delivery obligation shall stop from the date of notification that a component has been determined to be a candidate for Unusual Damage evaluation. The delivery obligation will be specified in a purchase order modification and will apply only to those items specifically addressed by the modification. The Contractor is obligated to deliver all other components not individually addressed by the modification under the original delivery date specified on the purchase order. The proposal shall not include the work involved in the teardown and inspection already performed, as this is covered by the firm fixed price specified in the Schedule. Within thirty (30) calendar days, the Contracting Officer will either initiate negotiations for a firm fixed price with the Contractor or deny authorization for the overhaul based on information in the report and any other information which may be available. Upon mutual agreement as to price and delivery, purchase order modification will be issued to require the additional work at the agreed upon terms. If the additional work is not desired, the Contracting Officer shall provide the Contractor with disposition instructions for the un-overhauled component. In the event an item is returned to the USCG in a disassembled condition, the Contractor shall be entitled only to compensation for the Scrap Fee.

3.8.2 Cannibalized Components

Firm fixed prices proposed in the Schedule for overhaul shall not include assemblies and components which have been cannibalized for repairable parts. These components shall be evaluated at the firm fixed price specified in the Schedule for Inspection/No Fault Found. In the event any of the components listed in the Schedule are received in a condition that represents cannibalization, immediate notification to the Contracting Officer is required. This notification shall include a detailed description of the noted deficiencies and shall reference the purchase order, line item number, NSN, P/N, and S/N, and is subject to the discretion of the Contracting Officer.

3.8.3 Beyond Economical Repair
