The following have been modified:

NOTE A: LEVEL OF EFFORT TO COMPLETION –SHIP REPAIR

1. The Contractor agrees to provide the level of effort to completion (LOE to Completion) in the performance of growth CLINs in the execution of the USS BOXER FY25 SRA:

a. 140,89149,007 direct labor hours (labor hours) and $5,237,858 ($TBD fully burdened) materials to complete expected, within scope growth work on the USS BOXER FY25 SRA work package under CLINs 0035 – 0071, 0087, 0090, 0092 & 0093.

2. The total LOE to Completion for the performance of the above growth CLINs shall be comprised of labor hours and the associated material required to support the expected, within scope growth. The mix of labor hours and material may be adjusted. Adjustments to the labor hour and material mix will be documented via weekly Technical Direction Letter (TDL) and subsequently unilaterally adjusted via contract modification. The Government reserves the right to reconcile the weekly TDLs via unilateral modification at the Administrative Contracting Officer’s (ACO) discretion.

3. LOE to Completion obligations specified above shall only include effort performed in direct support of this contract and shall not include time and effort expended on such things as local travel to and from an employee's usual work location, uncompensated effort while on travel status, truncated lunch periods, work (actual or inferred) at an employee's residence or other non-work locations.

4. LOE to Completion labor hours and material are within the scope and pricing of this contract and are not subject to an equitable adjustment under FAR 52.243-1 ‘Changes – Fixed Price’. The utilization of LOE to Completion is at the discretion of the Contracting Officer and subject to the schedule phasing identified in Note F.

5. If, in the opinion of the Contractor, any effort directed in the Growth Management Request Form (GMR) calls for effort outside the scope of the contract, the Contractor shall notify the Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO) in writing within two (2) working days after the receipt of any such direction. In the event of a cost dispute, the ACO may unilaterally authorize hours and material against LOE work. The Contractor shall not proceed with the work directed by the GMR unless and until the Contractor is notified by the ACO to proceed with the directed work. The Contractor is required to proceed with the directed work as directed by the ACO.

Thereafter, any remaining disagreement shall be addressed in accordance with FAR 52.233-1(Alt. 1) ‘Disputes.’

Additionally, if the cost of performing the disputed direction exceeds $100,000, the Contractor is required to comply with FAR 52.243-6 ‘Change Order Accounting.’

6. The labor hours and material requirements listed in Section B, Note A, paragraph 1 above are part of this contract. Prime contractor efforts shall be deducted from the labor hours allocated. Subcontractor efforts and materials shall be deducted from the materials allocated. The balance of labor hours and materials remaining in the LOE to Completion CLINs will be recouped by the Government via final contract modification at the end of the availability.

7. Only authorized direct production labor hours shall be deducted from the LOE to Completion direct labor hour ceiling set forth in Section B, Note A, paragraph 1 above. Per Note B paragraph 2 below, all non-production labor shall be included in the Contractor’s fully burdened labor rate. Non-production hours shall not be included in pricing submitted in support of growth issued under the LOE to Completion CLINs. Additionally, Contractor LOE to Completion pricing shall not include any allowance for technical representatives or for any other Government directed source unless specifically directed by the Contracting Officer.

8. Only authorized material dollars shall be deducted from LOE to Completion material reservation set forth in

Section B, Note A, paragraph 1 above. This material reservation consists of the total cost of materials and subcontractor efforts proposed. All subcontractor quotes shall be included in the Change Order Price Analysis (COPA) as per Section C, paragraph 1.13. Material dollars may include freight or duties if specifically itemized on the invoice for the material. The Contractor shall not be allowed to add material handling charges, overhead (including G&A), or profit into the settled cost of materials deducted from the material reservation.

9. The information received in the consolidated final report required by Section C paragraph 6.6 will be used by the ACO in the issuance of one contract modification based on the information received in the final report identified in Section C below, which will be a final settlement for all LOE to Completion labor hours and material dollars. Once the number of labor hours and materials for directed work has been settled, neither party shall be entitled to an adjustment because the expended labor hours and materials differ from the settled price.

This shall not preclude an adjustment otherwise permitted by law and regulation; e.g. fraud, product substitution, defective workmanship or materials. Each directed work shall receive approval by the SUPERVISOR and the ACO. “SUPERVISOR” as defined in NAVSEA Standard Item (NSI) 009-01, paragraph 4.3, refers to the local Government activity responsible for the execution and contract administration of Navy maintenance and modernization work.

NOTE E: SPECIAL AGREEMENT FOR GROWTH WITH A PRICE OF $15,000 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 $15,000 or less. The Contract will include a firm fixed price for growth valued at $15,000 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. 498 occurrences for growth work computed at a firm fixed price of $6,264 per occurrence, as associated with CLINS 0035 – 0071, 0087, 0090, 0092 & 0093. for the USS BOXER (LHD 4) FY25 SRA.

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 $15,000 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 $15,000 or less, and document the agreed to technical scope of work. The Contracting Officer or the authorizing official 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 $15,000, or less, then it will be adjudicated through the LOE to Completion process identified in Section B, Note A.

However, if LOE to Completion negotiations reveal the value of growth work is $15,000, 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. If the Contractor and Government (Contracting Officer) reach settlement in three (3) business days an incentive of $1,236 will be applied to the standard price per change of $6,264. The result in these instances would be a SDVG price per change of $7,500.

7. 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.

8. 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.

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.

(9) Identification of related changes, if any, to the internal milestones and production and contract completion dates.

1.13.2. GOVERNMENT REVIEW AND RESPONSE TO CFR: The Maintenance Team will review the

CFR. If the CFR is inadequate or incomplete, it will be rejected with time continuing to accrue (relative to five (5) working day requirement). As appropriate, the Government and contractor will need to meet, conduct ship checks and/or discuss the recommendation for corrective action further to determine the full scope of work required prior to final approval of the CFR. Accuracy of CFR submissions may be evaluated in CPARS and utilized for past performance ratings on future requirements. Additionally, deductions may be assessed in accordance with Attachment J-

5, QASP.

1.14. DATA REQUIRED FOR RCC AND LOE TO COMPLETION REQUESTS: In the event a growth requirement is validated and fully scoped, the Government may generate a RCC or GMR (in support of an LOE to Completion Request) which the ACO may request a firm fixed price proposal from the Contractor.

1.14.1. For all generated RCCs and GMRs, the Contractor shall provide a COPA proposal to the ACO within three (3) business days (See CDRL A002). A Contractor’s COPA shall remain valid for a minimum of 14 calendar days, unless otherwise specified by the ACO; if another timeline is specified by the Government, the Contractor’s COPA shall remain valid for that amount of time.

The COPA provided shall include at a minimum:

a. Labor hours to be performed by the Prime Contractor $__________

b. Subcontractor Quote (If applicable) $__________

c. Material Quote (If applicable) $__________

d. Mark-up (If applicable) $__________

Note 1 – Labor Hours: Proposed labor hours to be performed by the Prime Contractor shall be provided broken down by paragraph, trade and labor hour mix.

Note 2 – Material: Material pricing shall include a list detailing the source, part number, description, unit cost, quantities, total cost and underlying vendor quotes for each line item.

Note 3 – Subcontractor Quotes: Subcontractor quotes shall include labor hours, labor rate, material (part number, description, unit cost, quantity, total cost, and vendor quotes for each line item), and tiered subcontractor quotes (if applicable). Proposed subcontractor labor hours shall be broken down by paragraph and task.

Note 4 – Supporting Documentation: The requirements for complete submission of a COPA stated above represents the minimum and does not limit the Government from requesting additional information. In the event the ACO is unable to make a fair and reasonable determination based on the original COPA submission, the Contractor shall comply with FAR 15.402(a)(2) which requires the Contractor provide whatever data the ACO needs in order to determine a fair and reasonable price.

Note 5 – Late Submissions: The above documentation must accompany the COPA for the COPA to be considered submitted to the ACO. The number of days a Contractor’s COPA remains valid does not begin until the COPA is considered submitted by the ACO. See Attachment J-5, QASP, for deductions associated with late or invalid COPA submittals.

If circumstances arise where the Contractor is unable to submit a COPA within three (3) business days, the Contractor shall notify the ACO in writing of the specific circumstances and provide a revised date in which a COPA proposal will be submitted. Additional time needed to complete a COPA may be granted solely at the discretion of the ACO. The new timeframe granted solely at the discretion of the ACO and which may differ from the Contractor’s request, shall be met by the Contractor. Notification of a late COPA does not exempt the Contractor from meeting its requirement, but will be considered by the Government when conducting a CPARS evaluation and utilized for past performance ratings on future contracts. Late submission of COPAs may result in deductions assessed in accordance with Attachment J-5, QASP.

1.15. DESCOPING OF REQUIREMENTS: The Government reserves the right to descope any requirement under this contract at any time and for any reason. Descopes are incorporated into the contract via deletion RCCs and can either be a partial deletion of paragraph(s) from the work specification or deletion of a work item in its entirety. The Government will rely on the labor rates and prices entered in Attachment J-4 Pricing Workbook for negotiating and settling RCCs.

1.15.1. Pricing of Deletion RCCs: The Contractor agrees to price deletion RCCs at the same labor rate proposed in Attachment J-4 Pricing Workbook, as follows:

1.15.1.1. Partial or full work item deletion RCCs from the basic work package will be deleted at the basic labor rate and material burden rates as entered in the Work Item Index Tab of Attachment J-4;

1.15.1.2. Partial or full work item deletion RCCs from settled growth work or new work will be deleted at the labor rate and material burden rate as entered in the Labor & Material Burden Rate Tab of Attachment J-4.

1.15.2. Settled Deleted Price:

1.15.2.1. Full Work Item Deletion: For the purposes of pricing a RCC that deletes a work item in its entirety, the Government considers each individual work item to be separately priced. The starting point for negotiations will be the Contractor’s work item price entered in the Work Item Index Tab of Attachment J-4. The burden is on the Contractor to demonstrate production costs incurred. Program management and other indirect costs will not be considered.

1.15.2.2. Partial Deletion: The Contractor agrees to propose RCCs that delete a portion of a work item at the hours, material and subcontractor cost it would have required to accomplish the work. The proposed price shall include only the paragraphs affected by the partial deletion. At no time may the Contractor amend its pricing on the remaining paragraphs not being deleted from the work item.

1.16. MODIFICATION NEGOTIATION: Once the Government receives the Contractor’s COPA, it will evaluate and negotiate it in accordance with applicable Agency regulations and policies.
