(15) minutes or less. The government shall pay the Contractor at detention rates for persons or gangs, including clerks and equipment operators (drivers) for each detention in excess of fifteen minutes including the first fifteen minutes thereof.

4.1.2.1 Detention shall not be authorized for any part of a gang that is not required on commodity operations or when certain classes of labor on commodity operations are required to stand by because of another class of labor performing a commodity operation. For example, commodity vessel load is inclusive of loading and lashing cargo.

Gangs conducting the load & lash are inclusive of each other under one commodity rate; therefore, drivers or lashers during the process of load and lash may be waiting for the other to perform or complete their job. Neither party will be placed on detention while the other is performing commodity work.

4.1.3 Whenever detention occurs prior to or during extra labor operations, the Government shall pay the Contractor on a detention rate basis for the time of each detention.
