The contractor shall notify the COR or course supervisor immediately of any student having academic problems. The government reserves the right to make any decision concerning termination or extension of training for the student with academic problems.

5.9 Inability of Contractor to Perform In the event that an instructor is unable to teach a class due to illness, injury or death, the contractor must have a CP in place to replace that instructor within twenty-four (24) hours at their own expense. In addition, the government reserves the right to request that an instructor be replaced due to poor performance. The CP must also address the manner in which this instructor will be replaced. Such plans must be included in Phase II, Part I (Written Proposal) and may be reviewed by the COR at any time after award.

5.10 Poor Performance

The following elements, which comprise examples of poor instructor performance, can ultimately result in the removal of the instructor if these actions remain unabated:

regularly late for class poorly prepared to teach (which frequently results in the instructor reading overhead transparencies, or notes to the students) disorganized, resulting in poor time management, student confusion, and/or jumping from topic to topic and not following the syllabus regularly unable to answer students’ questions (most likely due to lack of knowledge) regularly refusing to answer students’ question (either due to lack of knowledge, lack of preparation, agenda anxiety, lack of respect of students) regularly dismissing class early (more than an hour before dismissal time) failure to remediate routinely unwilling to remediate routinely having to remediate more than 10% of the class inappropriate language (vulgar, sexist, racist, or language that shows disrespect for the students) either unwilling or incapable of ascertaining the level of the class’s knowledge and teaching at that level routinely unwilling, or incapable of, controlling the discipline of the class

(e.g., allowing disruptive side conversations to occur during the instructor’s presentation of the course material, allowing students to show up late thereby disrupting the class)

6.0 Student/Instructor Ratios: Student Loading

6.1 Student/instructor ratios must be such that there is an adequate number of instructors at all times to ensure effective coverage of each of the courses, student remediation during class hours, and student supervision and safety. NAVSAFENVTRACEN will reimburse the travel and per diem expenses for one (1) instructor to teach all courses.

6.2 The maximum class size for each class is thirty (30). The minimum class size is fifteen (15). While it is considered extremely unlikely that this will occur due to the high demand for this training, the government reserves the right to cancel a convening with fewer than fifteen (15) students at no cost/penalty to the government. The contractor will be notified no later than twenty-one (21) days prior to the first day of the class, if the minimum class size is not met.

6.3 The government reserves the right to exceed each class size on a case-by-case, limited basis at no extra cost to the government if agreed to in advance by the COR and the contractor.

Employer’s liability coverage of at least $100,000 shall be required, except in States with exclusive or monopolistic funds that do not permit workers’ compensation to be written by private carriers. (See 28.305(c) for treatment of contracts subject to the Defense Base Act.)

(2) Property damage liability insurance shall be required only in special circumstances as determined by the agency.

(c) Automobile liability. The contracting officer shall require automobile liability insurance written on the comprehensive form of policy. The policy shall provide for bodily injury and property damage liability covering the operation of all automobiles used in connection with performing the contract. Policies covering automobiles operated in the United States shall provide coverage of at least $200,000 per person and $500,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and $20,000 per occurrence for property damage. The amount of liability coverage on other policies shall be commensurate with any legal requirements of the locality and sufficient to meet normal and customary claims.

(d) Aircraft public and passenger liability. When aircraft are used in connection with performing the contract, the contracting officer shall require aircraft public and passenger liability insurance. Coverage shall be at least $200,000 per person and $500,000 per occurrence for bodily injury, other than passenger liability, and $200,000 per occurrence for property damage.
