SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION B - SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICES

The following have been modified:

NOTE E

NOTE E: SPECIAL AGREEMENT FOR GROWTH WITH A PRICE OF $25,000 OR LESS

1. To make administration of small dollar value growth more efficient and less costly, both parties (Government and Contractor) agree to a pre-priced value for individual growth items with an estimated price of $25,000 or less. The Contract will include a firm fixed price for growth valued at $25,000.00 or less. Zero-dollar changes and administrative contract changes (for example, drawing revision change where no additional work is required) shall not be executed using the Small Dollar Value Growth procedures, but will follow the change process.

2. The amount included in this Contract for the growth described above shall be equal to a maximum quantity of:

a. 450 occurrences for growth work computed at a firm fixed price of $6,986 per occurrence, as associated with CLINS 0040 – 0083 for the USS ROSS (DDG 71) FY22 (EDSRA).

3. A Waterfront Circuit Team comprised of a small group of Contractor and Government representatives shall administer the Special Agreement for Growth with a value of $25,000 or less. The Contractor shall establish a group of empowered representatives who will be located in proximity to the ship during the availability period and who will interact with a similar group of Government representatives (also to be located in close proximity to the ship and to be identified by the NSA). Specific arrangements for the Waterfront Circuit Team shall be mutually agreed between the Contractor and NSA.

4. The Contractor shall report proposed growth work through the normal CFR process in accordance with Contract terms. The Government may also independently identify growth work. No later than 24 hours after the final approval of the CFR, the Waterfront Circuit Team shall use best efforts to determine if the proposed growth is $25,000 or less, and document the agreed to technical scope of work. The Contracting Officer shall direct the commencement of all growth work. Directed growth will be followed by documentation to appropriately reflect specification changes.

5. If the Waterfront Circuit Team is not able to reach agreement that the price of the growth work is $25,000, or less, then it will be adjudicated through the LOE to Completion process identified in Section B, Note A.

However, if negotiations reveal the value of growth work is $25,000, or less, the task will be settled in accordance with the Small Dollar Value Growth procedure at the pre-priced value per occurrence identified in Section B, Note E, Paragraph 2, above.

6. The Contractor and Government (Contracting Officer) shall develop a growth tracker to identify and record the number of directed occurrences under this Note. All growth meeting the criteria of paragraph 1 above shall be accepted under this clause without delay and disruption in ship redelivery.

7. When the quantity of occurrences for Small Dollar Growth is depleted, the Small Dollar Growth process shall revert to the LOE to Completion process for remaining growth.

8. Within 30 days after the end of the contract period of performance, the Contractor and Contracting Officer, utilizing the growth work tracker, shall determine the number of pre-priced occurrences not directed under this contract. Accordingly, the Contracting Officer will decrease the contract price by an amount calculated by multiplying the remaining number of occurrences by the pre-established firm fixed price per occurrence.
