If certain classes of labor are required to standby because another class of labor is performing an extra labor operation, then the Government shall pay such certain classes of labor at detention rates.

4.4.2.4 The Contractor shall provide documentation justifying detention/standby time to the COR by the end of each shift wherein the detention occurred for approval of compensation. Failure to do so at that time may preclude compensation except with CO approval.

4.4.3 The Government shall pay minimum time to the Contractor when work fails to materialize or is completed prior to the minimum time, but shall not pay for checkers working in conjunction with longshoremen until completion of the longshoreman commodity activity; and any part of a gang not required on a commodity activity. For example, a truck unloading operation is inclusive of unlashing and unloading cargo under one commodity rate. Lashers who finish unlashing are still on commodity time (i.e., not detention) until drivers complete unloading and staging to point of rest. During a truck load, after drivers complete the load, they remain on commodity rate until lashers have completed all lashing. While one portion of the gang is on commodity, all are listed as commodity.

4.5 Shift Differentials.

4.5.1 When commodity or extra labor work is performed in a shift other than the regular daily shift, the Contractor shall be compensated IAW the applicable shift differential rates set forth in the SOR for each laborer in gangs, including equipment operators, drivers, and foremen.

4.5.2 Shift Differentials shall only include the extra amount/premium paid as a result of an employee working a shift outside the dayshift.

4.5.3 For example, if the Contractor pays an employee 35 dollars for each shift hour and 30 dollars is his base rate of pay, then the difference of five dollars would be the shift differential.

The Contractor would enter five dollars in the unit price for shift differential for that labor category.

4.6 Overtime Differentials.

4.6.1 When commodity or extra labor work is performed beyond the stated hours in a shift, the Contractor shall be compensated IAW the applicable overtime differential rates set forth in the SOR, in addition to the commodity rates or extra labor rates.

4.6.2 Overtime Differentials shall only include the extra amount/premium paid as a result of an employee working overtime.

4.6.3 For example, if the Contractor pays an employee 45 dollars for each overtime hour and 30 dollars is his base rate of pay, then the difference of 15 dollars would be the overtime differential. The Contractor would enter 15 dollars in the unit price for overtime differential for that labor category.

4.7 The Contractor must obtain CO or COR pre-approval to work in all conditions specified in paragraph 4.4 through 4.6 above.

4.8 The Contractor shall provide, as requested by the COR, a daily time keeper personnel log book for verification of labor services provided for the day’s operations for reconciliation.

Breakout will include total quantity by class of service.

4.9 Out-of-Pocket (OOP) Expenses.

4.9.1 OOP expenses involve the reimbursement of actual payments made by the Contractor to a third party and must be substantiated by the Contractor by submitting the paid invoice/receipt to either the CO or COR.

4.9.2 OOP expenses will be reimbursed only for mission related services or materials identified on labor order forms.

4.9.3 OOP expenses do not include expenses inherent to performing stevedoring and related terminal services.

4.9.4 For the purpose of purchasing supplies or non-durable goods, the Contractor shall obtain approval from the CO or COR for each item requested. All such materials shall become Government property.

4.9.5 The Contractor shall recover and reuse serviceable material and supplies. When used in subsequent operations, the Contractor shall not invoice for re-use of recovered materials.

4.9.6 For the purpose of purchasing supplies/non-durable goods, the Contractor shall obtain approval from the on-site COR for each item requested. Any purchases above the threshold of $3,500.00 shall be at the approval of the Contracting Officer.

4.9.7 Administration Fees are allowable as an OOP expense.

4.9.8 The Contractor shall turn in/store any unused materials provided by the Government upon completion of operation.

4.9.9 The Contractor shall furnish, as requested by the COR, oxygen, acetylene and re-coopering materials to be compensated as an OOP expense. The Contractor is responsible for and shall ensure that equipment and materials meet all applicable U.S. and Host Nation safety and regulatory standards for cargo operations.
