Section B - Supplies or Services and Prices

B-1 NEGOTIATED RATES

B.1 Streamlined Ordering for Cost Plus Fixed Fee Term LOE Orders

LOE Orders will be issued under this contract using the following streamlined ordering procedures:

(1) For each proposed order, the contracting officer will provide the contractor with a Task Order (TO) and an

Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE). The IGCE is an estimate of labor hours by labor category utilizing the estimated and negotiated composite labor rates found in the table below to calculate the total estimated cost for the proposed TO. The TO fixed fee is calculated using Section H Clause 5252.232-9510, Payment of Fixed Fee (NAVAIR) (OCT 2005).

(2) These composite rates are estimates, and invoicing will be based on actual costs incurred. Ceiling for Other

Direct Costs (ODC) will be priced in accordance with the Government estimate. TOs crossing multiple years will be estimated by the Government using the composite rates for each year in proportion to the period of performance of the TO.

(3) Requirements for contractor response:

(i) If the contractor agrees that it can perform the TO within the parameters of the IGCE, the contractor shall sign and return the DD1155 to the contracting officer within three (3) working days of receipt of the TO and IGCE. If the requirement remains valid, a priced order will be issued to the contractor.

(ii) If the contractor does not agree with the TO and/or IGCE, the contractor shall submit a proposal to the contracting officer within five (5) working days of receipt of the TO and IGCE, addressing only the specific areas of difference in labor categories and/or hours in the IGCE. Once the differences are resolved between the contracting officer and the contractor, and the requirement remains valid, a priced order will be issued to the contractor.

(iii) If the contactor fails to respond to the proposed order within five (5) working days of receipt of the

TO, the contracting officer may unilaterally issue the TO or extend the deadlines above when in the best interest of the Government.

3.1.4.1.1 CWS

CWS is an alternative work schedule to the traditional five (5), eight and a half (8.5) hour workdays (including a 30-minute lunch) worked per week. Under a CWS schedule, an employee completes the following schedule within a two-week period of time: eight (8) weekdays are worked at nine and a half (9.5) hours each (including a 30-minute lunch break), one (1) weekday is alternately worked as eight and a half (8.5) hours (including a 30-minute lunch break), and one (1) weekday is not worked by the employee. The result is 80 hours worked every two (2) weeks, with 44 work hours worked one (1) week, and 36 work hours worked the other.

The Contractor may allow its employees to work a CWS schedule provided the requirements of the individual TOs are met. If the Contractor chooses to allow its employees to work a CWS schedule in support of this Contract, any additional costs associated with the implementation of the CWS schedule vice the standard schedule are unallowable costs under this Contract and will not be reimbursed by the Government. Additionally, the CWS schedule shall not prevent Contractor employees from providing necessary staffing and services coverage as required by the

Government to the COR/ACOR.

3.1.4.1.2 Holidays

The Government observes the Federal holidays identified on the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) website.

While, generally, contractor personnel may not perform work on-site at a Government facility without oversight from Federal personnel, in very limited circumstances, work being performed by contractor personnel may be deemed mission essential and performance of such mission essential work may be authorized to continue at the

Government facility despite the facility being otherwise closed for normal operations. The circumstances permitting work being performed by contractor personnel to be deemed mission essential are extremely limited and generally only apply to performance of efforts related to public health, safety, or matters related to national security. Before performing work at a closed Government facility, the Contractor shall obtain the approval of the TPOC assigned at the TO level. The PCO must concur with any determination that work being performed by contractor personnel is mission essential.

3.1.4.2 Travel/Temporary Duty (TDY)
