NOTICE FOR FILING AGENCY PROTESTS

It is the policy of the Coast Guard to issue solicitations and make contract awards in a fair and timely manner. The Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP) was established to investigate agency protest issues and resolve them without expensive and time-consuming litigation. OPAP is an independent reviewing authority that is empowered to grant a prevailing protester essentially the same relief as the General Accounting Office (GAO).

Interested parties are encouraged to seek resolution of their concerns within the Coast Guard as an

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) forum, rather than filing a protest with the GAO or some external forum. Interested parties may seek resolution of their concerns informally or opt to file a formal agency protest with the contracting officer or Ombudsman.

Informal forum with the Ombudsman. Interested parties who believe that a Coast Guard procurement is unfair or otherwise defective should first direct their concerns to the cognizant contracting officer. If the contracting officer is unable to satisfy the concerns, the interested party is encouraged to contact the

Coast Guard Ombudsman for Agency Protests. Under this informal process, the agency is not required to suspend contract award performance. Use of an informal forum does not suspend any time requirement for filing a protest with the agency or other forum. In order to ensure a timely response, interested parties should provide the following information to the Ombudsman: solicitation/contract number, contracting office, contracting officer, and solicitation closing date (if applicable).

Formal Agency Protest with the Ombudsman. Prior to submitting a formal agency protest, protesters must first use their best efforts to resolve their concerns with the contracting officer through open and frank discussions. If the protester‘s concerns are unresolved, an independent review is available by the

Ombudsman. The protester may file a formal agency protest to either the contracting officer or as an alternative to that, the Ombudsman under the OPAP program. Contract award or performance will be suspended during the protest period unless contract award or performance is justified, in writing, for urgent and compelling reasons or is determined in writing to be in the best interest of the Government.

The agency‘s goal is to resolve protests in less than 35 calendar days from the date of filing. Protests shall include the information set forth at FAR 33.103(d)(2). If the protester fails to submit the required information, resolution of the protest may be delayed or the protest may be dismissed. This will not preclude re-filing of the protest to meet the requirement. To be timely, protests must be filed within the period specified in FAR 33.103(e). Formal protests filed under the OPAP program should be forwarded to the address below:

(5) FAR 52.217-7 OPTION FOR INCREASED QUANTITY – SEPARATELY PRICED LINE ITEM (MAR 1989) -

VARIATION

The Government may require the performance of the numbered line items, identified in the Schedule as option items, at the unit prices stated in the Schedule. The option quantities shown in the Schedule are estimates only. The Government has the right to require performance of these items at the quantities deemed necessary. Therefore, the Government may exercise an option item on more than one occasion during the contract performance period. The Contracting Officer will provide initial notification of the exercise of an option either verbally, by facsimile, or both. When time is of the essence, initial notification will be provided verbally followed within 24 hours by a facsimile of confirmation. A contract modification will be executed shortly thereafter to include those options wherein exercise notification was provided. Such options may be exercised at any phase during the contract performance period as stated herein, or any extension of the performance period. To maintain the contract performance period the Contractor shall commence performance of an option item immediately upon receiving initial notification; but, not later than 24 hours thereafter, unless proper sequencing of the work requires a delay in beginning performance of the option. In that case, the option item shall be commenced as soon as proper sequencing permits. The exercise of any option item listed in the Schedule will not normally extend the contract performance period. However, the

Contracting Officer may consider a request by the Contractor for contract extension if an option is exercised after 50% of the contract performance period has expired.

Certain SIPs may also mandate certain Contractors to operate under the terms of a compliance plan intended to reduce VOC emissions.

(b) Contractors, therefore, must submit the following to the designated NESU Port Engineer not later than two weeks after contract award:

(9) ACCESSIBILITY OF CONTRACTOR'S FACILITY:

The Contractor shall provide a facility accessible from a navigable waterway at which a ship of the characteristics described in the attached specification can, using its own propulsion, safely arrive, lie afloat and depart at all states of the tide and at any time day or night. The facility and its approaches shall have a minimum water depth of EIGHT feet and a minimum vertical clearance of 47 feet.

(10) REQUIRED INSURANCE:

The Contractor shall, at its own expense, procure and maintain the following kinds of insurance with respect to performance under the contract. In accordance with HSAR 3052.228-70, Insurance (DEC 2003), the Contractor shall furnish the

Contracting Officer with proof of insurance for the duration of the contract, including:

1. Ship Repairer's Liability - $500,000 per occurrence.

2. Comprehensive General Liability - $500,000 per occurrence.

3. Full insurance coverage in accordance with the United States‘ Longshoremen's and Harbor Worker's Act.

4. Full insurance coverage in accordance with the State's Workmen's Compensation Law (or its equivalent) for all places of performance under this contract.

Work hours for the vessel will be discussed at the Arrival Conference. Any work performed outside of those hours will be allowed at the sole discretion of the Contracting Officer.

The Contractor shall make reasonable arrangements with the Government or Contractors of the Government, as shall have been identified and authorized by the Contracting Officer, to be given admission to the Contractor's facilities and access to the vessel(s) and to office space, work areas, storage or shop areas, or other facilities and services, necessary for the performance of their respective responsibilities and reasonable to their performance. All such above personnel shall be required to comply with all Contractor rules and regulations governing personnel at its shipyard, including those relative to safety and security.

(b) The Contractor further agrees, as authorized by the Contracting Officer, to afford to a reasonable number of officers, employees, and associates of bidders on other contemplated work, the same privileges of admission to the Contractor's plant and access to the vessel(s) on a noninterference basis subject to all Contractor rules and regulations governing personnel in its shipyard, including those relative to safety and security.

HSCG85-11-Q-P45052 PAGE 8 OF 37

(12) INDEMNIFICATION FOR ACCESS TO VESSELS:

Notwithstanding any provision in the "Access to Vessels" clause, or any other clause of the contract, the Contractor agrees to allow officers, employees, and associates of the Government, or other prime Contractors with the Government and their subcontractors, and officers, employees, and associates of offeror on other contemplated work, admission to the Contractor's facilities and access to the vessel without any further request for indemnification from any party, which has not been previously included in the contract price.

(13) INSPECTIONS:

Except as specified elsewhere, the U.S. Coast Guard shall rely on the Contractor to accomplish all inspection and testing needed to ensure that the work conforms to contract quality requirements.

Records of all inspection work by the Contractor shall be kept complete and available to the Government during the term of this contract and for such longer period as may be specified elsewhere in this contract.

The name and telephone number of the U.S. Coast Guard Inspector will be provided after the award of a contract resulting from this solicitation.

(14) GROWTH WORK:

(a) The Contractor shall not perform growth work without the Contracting Officer's authorization. Growth work is work within the scope of the contract, which has not been previously priced as a pre-priced CLIN. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to contract for growth work on the basis of a negotiated, firm, fixed price, when it is in the best interest of the

Government. If a firm-fixed price contract is awarded, and during the performance period a repair within scope is identified but the Contracting Officer and Contractor are unable to agree on the cost of the work, a bilateral modification may be incorporated into the contract using a Time and Materials modification for this specific repair. In this situation, FAR 52.212-4, Alternate I will be incorporated.

(b) The Contractor shall furnish a price breakdown directly to the Contracting Officer, itemized as required by the

Contracting Officer, of any proposal submitted for a contract modification. Unless otherwise directed, the breakdown shall be submitted on an MLCA 002 proposal form provided at the arrival conference permitting an analysis of all materials, labor, equipment, subcontract, overhead costs, and profit covering all work involved in the change/modification whether such work was deleted, added or changed. Any amount claimed for subcontracts shall be supported by a separate, similar price breakdown. If the proposal includes a request for a time extension, justification shall be furnished with the proposal.

(c) This clause is to be used in conjunction with the clause COMPOSITE LABOR RATE incorporated into this solicitation.

The Contractor is required to have and/or furnish all tools and equipment incidental to each bench trade. Supplies such as wiping rags, hacksaw blades, sandpaper, welding wire, helium, etc., are also to be furnished by the Contractor. Other materials are to be charged at regular rates and prices currently in effect and as agreed to by the Contracting Officer. Material shall be best commercial quality available except where a precise specification is indicated in which case the specification shall apply, e.g., MILSPEC, FEDERAL SPEC.

(15) COMPOSITE LABOR RATE:

The composite labor rate offered shall be the sole labor hour rate used to price the prime Contractor's direct labor hours for contract changes, i.e. growth work. The Contractor shall not receive any compensation in addition to this rate for the prime

Contractor's direct labor associated with such changes under this contract.

(a) The composite labor hour rate shall represent total compensation for the following:

(1) direct labor wages and salaries;

HSCG85-11-Q-P45052 PAGE 9 OF 37

(2) all employee benefits including, but not limited to, paid leave, supplemental pay, insurance, retirement, savings, and legally required benefits;

(3) other direct costs associated with transit time, delay, disruption, expendable supplies, and equipment;

(4) all indirect costs such as overhead and general and administrative expense;

(5) any port or association fees, rents, or other levies;

(6) profit (fee); and

(7) all direct and indirect costs and profit associated with the following support functions:

Supervision and Management Planning and Estimating

Material Handling Housekeeping

Engineering Transportation/Drivers

Quality Assurance Contract Administration

Security Testing

(b) The composite labor hour rate will be applied to production labor hours only. Production labor hours include only those hours necessary and reasonable to perform direct production functions and do not include the hours expended on the support functions listed above. This exclusion of support function hours applies whether such support functions are normally charged directly or indirectly by the Contractor's accounting system. These support functions are to be priced into the composite labor rate quoted and shall not be separately compensated.

(c) The Quantity of Composite Labor hours indicated in the Schedule of Supplies/Services is only an estimate and is an Optional Item pursuant to this solicitation. The Estimated Quantity represents the Government‘s best estimate of the total number of additional hours that may be required throughout the contract. The Government may elect to exceed this value at the prices stated in the schedule and its discretion during performance of the contract. The inclusion of this item does not obligate the Government to exercise the item nor entitle the Contractor to compensation if not exercised.

(16) MAINTAINING, REPORTING, AND DISPOSING OF GOVERNMENT PROPERTY IN THE

PERFORMANCE OF A SHIP REPAIR CONTRACT:

1. The Government Property Clause incorporated by reference delineates the Contractor's overall responsibility when taking possession of Government property in performance of a contract. In performance of this contract the Contractor will be required to properly identify, track and control property within its possession. This includes, a) property furnished by the

Government (GFP) to the Contractor in conjunction with specific CLIN Items. These items and their values are listed in the specification, b) property that is pre-existing in a location that during the course of performance will be replaced or renewed.

2. The items listed in the specification, as Government furnished property will be provided in the quantities designated.

Government furnished property may be provided in person by an official Coast Guard employee, shipment via commercial carrier, etc. The Contractor shall sign for all Government furnished property using either a DD Form 1149, entitled, ―Requisition and Invoice/Shipping Document‖ or a DD Form 1348, entitled, ―Issue Release/Receipt Document‖. A copy of the DD 1149 or DD 1348 must be sent within 48 hours of receipt of property, to the designated Government Property

Administrator. The name of the individual assigned as Property Administrator will be furnished to the Contractor at time of award. The Contractor shall not take receipt of property that is not listed in the specification, has not been previously identified as becoming part of the contract (via contract modification) or which otherwise cannot be identified. Such irregularities shall be immediately reported to the Property Administrator.

3. The Contractor shall complete the report provided herein, entitled, ―Government Property Report‖. This report is intended as a living document whereby relevant fields shall be filled in, maintained and kept current at all times. All property described in paragraph 1(a and b) above shall be reported on the report. At contract completion the Contractor and the Property

Administrator shall ensure that all fields are appropriately completed. A signature block is provided at the end of the report for both parties to attest to the report's accuracy and completeness. The Government Property Report shall clearly delineate the complete track that all Government property took over the course of the contract. This completed report must accompany the

Contractor's final invoice. Final payment may be delayed, without penalty of interest, until such time as the report is received.

A separate copy of the completed report and any final DD 1149s or DD 1348s executed, as a result of carrying out disposition

HSCG85-11-Q-P45052 PAGE 10 OF 37

instructions shall be provided to the Property Administrator.

4. Pursuant to the Government Property Clause the authority to render disposition instructions of Government property associated with this contract is delegated to the Property Administrator. The Contractor shall comply with all instructions in the contract for the return of Government property to the Coast Guard. This includes Government property taken off the vessel

(shafts, propellers, etc.), Government property returned to the vessel (special tools, etc.) or surplus Government property not used during performance of the contract.

(17) CONTRACTING OFFICER’S AUTHORITY:

No oral or written statement of any person other than the Contracting Officer will in any manner or degree modify or otherwise affect the terms of this contract. The Contracting Officer is the only person authorized to approve changes in any of the requirements under this contract, and, notwithstanding any provisions contained elsewhere in this contract, said authority remains solely with the Contracting Officer. In the event the Contractor effects any such change at the direction of any person other than the Contracting Officer, the change will be considered to have been made without authority and no adjustment will be made in the contract price to cover any increase in cost incurred as a result thereof.

(18) CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT REPORT (CPAR) :

(a) GENERAL: The U.S. Coast Guard Surface Forces Logistic Center (SFLC) will monitor and evaluate the successful offeror‘s past performance of this contract and prepare a Contractor Performance Assessment Report (CPAR) in accordance with FAR Part 42.15. All information contained in this assessment may be used, within the limitations of

FAR 42.15, by the government for future source selections and in accordance with FAR 15.304, when past performance is an evaluation factor for award.

(b) NOTIFICATION: Upon completion of the contract, the contractor will be notified of the assessment. The contractor will be allowed 30 days to respond to the SLFC‘s assessment of its performance entered into CPARS. The contractor‘s response, if any, will be made part of the CPAR system.

(c) INFORMATION: Information included in the CPAR may include, but is not limited to, the contractor‘s record of conforming to contract requirements and to standards of good workmanship; the contractor‘s record of forecasting and controlling costs; the contractor‘s adherence to contract schedules, including the administrative aspects of performance; the contractor‘s history of reasonable and cooperative behavior and commitment to customer satisfaction; the contractor‘s record of integrity and business ethics, and generally, the contractor‘s business-like concern for the interest of the customer.

(d) RELEASE OF DATA: CPARS information is considered business sensitive and will not be released except: (1) to other Federal procurement activities which request it; (2) when SFLC must release pursuant to a Freedom of

Information Act (FOIA) request; or (3) when prior written consent is requested and obtained from the contractor.

(19) METHOD OF PAYMENT AND INVOICING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SHIP REPAIR:

The Government will make payment under this contract based on a percentage or stage of completion. The Contractor may invoice each contract line item (CLIN) as work progresses. The amount invoiced shall be calculated based on those prices stipulated in the contract Schedule of Supplies/Services as follows:

A CLIN may not be invoiced until the percentage complete reaches 25 percent. Future invoices for that CLIN have no limitation as to the percentage of completion required before invoicing. (The minimum percentage of completion (25%) to be reached prior to billing each CLIN may be waived by the Contracting Officer on a case by case basis for large dollar CLINS.)

Invoices submitted by the Contractor which are deemed not proper, in accordance with FAR clause, 52.212-4 will be returned.

Invoices shall include (see the clause for a full summation of invoice requirements):

HSCG85-11-Q-P45052 PAGE 11 OF 37

The Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number is the primary identifier in Central Contractor Registration (CCR), (see FAR 52.232-33, Payment by Electronic Funds Transfer – Central Contractor Registration (OCT 2003)). Contractors are located and identified in CCR by their DUNS number. Therefore, to facilitate payment, the DUNS number shall be recorded on every invoice submitted to the U.S. Coast Guard.

All payments for partial performance rendered by the Government under this contract are based on the assumption that the

Contractor will, in good faith, execute and honor all payment terms entered into between it, the prime Contractor, and any subcontractor thereof in the performance of this contract. The Contractor hereby acknowledges the Government‘s right to reduce or suspend progress payments based on non-payment in accordance with any payment terms of the subcontract agreement.

All items of work invoiced under this contract will be verified by the designated billing office and confirmed by the

Contracting Officer‘s Technical Representative (COTR) as accurate and complete.

Any amount deemed not payable will be deducted from the Contractor‘s invoice. Deducted amounts may be resubmitted on the next invoice for reconsideration.

Additional work verbally agreed to by the parties that has not yet been incorporated into the contract by modification shall not be included in an invoice. Payments will not be made for any work to which a modification has not been properly executed.

Invoices submitted for payment that includes such a request will be reduced by the unmodified amount.

The original and one copy of the invoice shall be mailed to the designated billing office, as follows:
