NOTE A:

LABOR AND MATERIAL RATES

SCHEDULE OF PRICES / RATES: SHIP REPAIR LABOR RATE (FULLY BURDENED)

1. The Contractor’s fully loaded man-hour rate will be used for negotiating growth and new work to be performed under this contract. The contractor agrees that the number of man hours included in its price proposal for contract modifications shall include only direct production man hours.

3. The fully burdened Ship Repair Labor Rate is a fixed hourly rate that includes all wages, overhead, general and administrative expenses, Facilities Capital Cost of Money (FCCOM) and profit. The fully burdened Ship Repair Labor Rate represents a blended rate to be performed by the Contractor, including labor transferred between divisions, subsidiaries, or affiliates of the Contractor under a common control, and all subcontractors. As the fully burdened Ship Repair Labor Rate is intended to be all inclusive, subcontractors proposed to complete efforts under the trade rate schedule may not be proposed as separate material or ODC charges. This does not apply to the procurement of work performed by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Government directed subcontractors.

4. Costs for consumable materials such as office supplies, paper, rags, vehicles or equipment fuel costs, etc., shall be included in contractor’s Ship Repair Labor Rate and not separately priced.

5. The material mark-up rates applies to materials to be provided to the ship as part of the repair that will sail away with the ship (e.g. equipment, replacement steel, pipes, and specialty fasteners). Materials consumed or used in the process of repair (e.g. welding rods, paint buckets, paint brushes, protective clothing, common fasteners) are part of the contractor’s overhead and not subject to the mark-up. The mark-up will be applied to the actual cost of the material. Actual cost does not include handling charges, general and administrative cost, overhead, profit or any other indirect cost.

6. Fully Fixed Burden Labor and Material Rates:

6.1. The contract fixed fully burdened ship repair labor rate and material burden rate are shown below. These fixed rates shall be used for negotiating growth and new work during the entire availability regardless of how many labor hours and material dollars are procured and negotiated.

Fully burdened Ship Repair Labor Rate

Material Mark Up Rate

7. The Procurement Contracting Officer (PCO) may:

7.1. Use the Fixed Trade and Material rates shown in the table above to negotiate all change orders and supplemental agreements, including changes due to growth, supplemental, emergent and new work.

7.2. Disregard the fixed rates shown in the table above and negotiate with the Contractor in accordance with FAR 15.4.

8. Additional Government Requirements (AGR) CLINs 0006 through 0009

8.1. The Government may utilize CLINs 0006 through 0009 for and not limited to, man-hours generated for: Work Items not included in the Base Package due to technical maturity at time of Award; Work Item Discrepancies found during accomplishment; emergent repairs, or new work. AGR does not include work performed pursuant to DFARS Clause 252.217-7005 - Inspection and Manner of Doing Work, 252.217-7013 - Guarantees, or other contract clauses relating to the correction of defects. The contractor agrees that AGR man-hours, if ordered, shall be performed concurrently with all work during the contract’s performance period, without impacting, accelerating, or causing delay or disruption to the work required by the aforementioned Work Items, to any other Government contract, or to any other work in progress for the Government. Work under these CLINs (0006 through 0009) will be performed concurrently Other Direct Costs (ODC).

8.2. As a result of a discrepancy found between the work item and the current conditions or a needed repair found during the open and inspect phase of the work item, the contractor shall submit a Condition Found Report (CFR) to the Contracting Officer Representative (COR). As a result of this report submission, the COR may request a proposal from the contractor. Whenever the Government orders AGR pursuant to this clause, the contractor shall submit a price proposal for such work. This proposal shall be submitted within three (3) days of the receipt of the Government's request for a proposal, or within such additional time provided in writing by the Procurement Contracting Officer (PCO). The contractor's failure to submit its proposal within the three (3) days period, or such extended period of time, may be considered a failure of the parties to negotiate a fair and reasonable price for the AGR and will permit the PCO to take any of the three options set forth in subparagraph 8.2.4 below. AGR proposals shall be priced using the Fully-Burdened Labor Rate (FBLR) set forth in Section B. The rate established will be used in evaluating the contractor's proposal and will also be used for negotiating changes as required by this clause. As part of the contractor’s proposal submission for AGR, the following shall be included:

Completion of the table contained in paragraph 6.1 above and completion of Attachment J-4 utilizing the hours and material dollars provided in CLINS 0006 through 0009.

8.3. Considering FBLRs have been pre-approved in Section B, proposal evaluation may be limited to:

8.3.1. Evaluating the mix of labor categories and associated man-hours to ensure that they are reasonable to meet the Government’s minimum requirements in addressing these discrepancies or repairs found;

8.3.2. a price that is fair and reasonable in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(b) – Price analysis for commercial and non-commercial items.

In the event that a fair and reasonable price cannot be negotiated, the PCO reserves the right to procure these ODCs utilizing alternative means described in paragraph 8.4, below.

8.4. Upon receipt of the contractor's price proposal for the AGR the contractor and the PCO shall negotiate the scope of the effort. If a fair and reasonable price cannot be negotiated between the contractor and the PCO, the PCO reserves the right to:

8.4.1. Have the work performed by the Government;

8.4.2. Issue a unilateral modification

8.4.3. Cancel the requirement.

8.5. The contractor knowingly and voluntarily waives all claims against the Government and/or other third party contractors for delay, disruption, loss of efficiency, or other impact arising out of or based upon the presence of Government or other contractor employees performing the AGR at the contractor's facility. Furthermore, in cases described in sub-paragraphs 8.4.1 and 8.4.2 above, the contractor waives any right to claims of interference under the DFARS Clause 252.217-7011 - Access to Vessels.

8.6. The contractor warrants and hereby certifies that its price for the firm fixed portion of this contract does not include any amount for the "Additional Government Requirements". Settlement of “Additional Government Requirements” will be for the purpose of providing funding. In the event the Government requires additional work, authorization to proceed shall be made only by the PCO. The Contractor is to perform and invoice against CLINs 0006 through 0009 only for work that has been authorized through a settled RFP and incorporated into the contract through a contract modification. All funding remaining on CLINs 0006 through 0011 at contract completion shall be de-obligated.

9. Award Fee – CLIN 0021

9.1. The Government is interested in incentivizing the use of ingenuity, efficiency and processes that reduce cycle time. The objective is rapid Incorporation of Growth and New Work, achieving a High Quality of Workmanship, and ease of Integration of Third Party Work while meeting the Milestones in accordance with Attachment J-6. These milestones are those the Government has deemed as the most critical to the successful, timely completion of the availability. The total award fee that may be earned is $1,000,000.

9.2. In order to be considered for earning of award fee, the COR must verify that the contractor has completed all of the work for that milestone, accounting for Government approved exceptions and deferrals and inclusive of the criteria below for growth and new work, quality and Third Party integration. The Government expects the contractor to complete each individual milestone’s work scope and up to the total scope possible associated with CLINs 0006 through 0009, 0012 and 0013 without a change to any milestone completion dates.

9.3. It is incumbent on the contractor to discover and identify potential growth as soon as possible to ensure that it can be integrated into their production schedule. Failure of the contractor to identify growth in a timely manner (as determined by the Fee Determining Official (FDO)) shall not constitute a valid excuse for missing a milestone for purposes of earning award fee.
