Notice of intent to substitute by the Contractor shall identify the vessel(s) being substituted and the vessel(s) for which substitution is being made and shall provide the Contracting Officer with sufficient information on which to base a determination regarding good cause for substitution and the acceptability of the nominated substitute vessel. Notice shall be submitted in writing and shall be submitted sufficiently in advance to permit the Contracting Officer to make a reasoned determination regarding good cause and substitute vessel(s) suitability. If circumstances require oral notification, said notice shall provide all of the above-required information and shall include a statement of circumstances that preclude a written notice prior to substitution.

Confirmation of the information given in an oral notice shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer in writing within forty-eight (48) hours of the giving of oral notification.

a) The Contractor shall fix and deploy a substitute vessel(s) within a period of six (6) hours of submission of notice of substitution or within six (6) hours of the commencement of any off-hire, whichever occurs first.

Any vessel(s) substituted under this Clause shall result in no cost increase for Charterer, and substitution shall result in no operation delay for Charterer except as provided above. It shall not otherwise excuse any other performance required under this Charter party.

c) The Contracting Officer’s notice of acceptance or rejection of the substitute vessel(s) shall be made within reasonable time following Owner’s nomination thereof, provided that the Contracting Officer is furnished sufficient information on which to base such a determination. Silence of the Contracting Officer shall not be construed as acceptance of any nominated vessel(s).

d) Notwithstanding the Charterer's prior acceptance of any substitute vessel(s) under this paragraph, the

Charterer may, at any time, reject any previously accepted substitute vessel if it is determined that the characteristics of that substitute vessel(s) were misrepresented by the Contractor or are otherwise unsuited to the requirements of this contract.

In the event of the loss of time resulting from deficiency and/or default of men including but not limited to misconduct, illness, injury, strikes, labor disruptions, lockouts; deficiency of stores; fire; breakdown of or damage to hull, machinery, or equipment; collision; stranding; grounding; detention by authorities;

Charter Hire (Per Day) See Box 18A mailto:franklin.orvin@navy.mil any ill or injured person on board other than any passenger, supercargo, or military personnel who may be carried at Charterer's request; or by any other cause whatsoever preventing the full working of the Vessel, the payment of hire shall cease for all time lost until the Vessel is again, at a position not less favorable to the Charterer than that at which such loss of time commenced, ready and in a fully efficient state to resume her service. Should the Vessel deviate or put back during a voyage contrary to the orders or directions of the Charterer for any reason, the hire is to be suspended from the time of her deviating or putting back until she is again, at a position not less favorable to the Charterer than that at which such loss of time commenced, ready and in a fully efficient state to resume her service. When the period of time lost to the Charterer on any one occasion is less than two (2) consecutive hours, the hire shall not be reduced for such period, provided no missions were missed during that period of time.

2. COSTS FOR OWNER. The cost of fuel consumed while the Vessel is off-hire, as well as all port charges, pilotages, and other expenses incurred during such period and consequent upon the putting in to any port or place other than that to which the Vessel is bound, shall be borne by the Owner. All fuel used by the Vessel being driven into port or to shallow harbors or to rivers or ports with bars, the delay of the Vessel and/or expenses resulting there from shall be for Charterer's account.

3. DELAYS/EXCESSIVE FUEL CONSUMPTION. If upon any passage the Vessel fails to make the warranted speed or if her warranted fuel consumption exceeds that offered due to defect in or breakdown of any part of her hull, machinery, or equipment; casualty; or inefficiency of Master, Officers, or crew or their failure to proceed with utmost dispatch, and if the Vessel is delayed more than two (2) hours, provided no missions were missed during that period of time, the hire for the time lost and any cost of extra fuel consumed, if any, shall be borne by the Owner.

LOSS OF VESSEL

4. LOSS OF VESSEL. Should any or all of the vessels be either lost or missing, or become a constructive total loss, the portion of the charter for such vessel(s) shall terminate and hire shall cease to be payable at the time of the loss or, if said time is unknown, at the time of the vessel’s(’) last received communication. If the vessel(s) should be off hire or missing when a payment of hire would otherwise be due, such payment shall be postponed until the off-hire period ceases or the safety of the vessel(s) is ascertained, as the case may be.

REIMBURSABLE ITEMS:

[Specifically stated portions of the following requirements shall be paid as reimbursable items]

5. REIMBURSABLE SUPPLIES AND SERVICES (CHARTERS) (MAR 2005)

(1) The Government will reimburse the Contractor only for the actual price paid for those supplies and services that are expressly identified as reimbursable items by this Contract. “Actual price" paid by the Contractor for such supplies and services, includes tax paid, if any, and reduced by any and all credits and rebates, whether accrued or realized, associated with the supplies and services provided. “Actual price” does not include material handling charges, overhead, general and administrative costs, profit, or any other indirect cost that is in any way associated with the Contractor’s purchase or provision of such supplies and services.

The parties expressly agree that the offered and accepted daily rate includes all costs incurred or paid by the Contractor, including but not limited to material handling charges, overhead, general and administrative costs, or profit, that are in any way associated with the Contractor’s purchase or provision of such supplies and services.

(2) To be eligible to receive reimbursement for services and supplies identified in this Contract as reimbursable items and obtained in support of this Contract, the Contractor must obtain at least three quotes for each transaction in excess of $2,500 to ensure that adequate price competition was sought or the Contractor must provide an acceptable justification as to why it was impracticable to do so. In the case of fuel purchases, unless directed otherwise by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall provide the documentation listed in subparagraphs (i) through (iii) below to the Contracting Officer for approval prior to purchasing fuel.

For purchases of services and supplies and other than fuel, the Contractor need provide the aforementioned documentation only when requested by the Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall maintain documentation of all reimbursable purchases until three years after the Contract is completed and shall provide access to and copies of such documentation when requested by the Contracting Officer.

(i) A description of the supplies or services to be subcontracted.

(ii) Identification of the proposed subcontractor and price.

(iii) Suppliers contacted and price quotes. Include other pertinent data such as price lists used if suppliers were not contacted and information regarding the selection if other than price-related factors were considered.

(3) The Contracting Officer may reduce the reimbursement by any amount above that which the Contracting

Officer finds, in his/her sole discretion, is greater than that which is fair and reasonable for the supplies or services provided, giving due consideration to the facts and circumstances prevailing at the time that the Contractor procured the supplies and services. Disputes as to the amount by which any reimbursement is reduced shall be resolved in accordance with the “Disputes” clause of the Contract. It shall be the Contractor’s burden to demonstrate that the price it paid for reimbursable supplies and services was fair and reasonable.

(4) When the Contractor expects total funding expended for reimbursable items to reach 85 percent of the total funds available on each Reimbursable Supplies and Services CLIN, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer and any other Government official identified by the Contracting Officer. The notice shall state the estimated amount of additional funds required to continue performance for the period specified in the Schedule. The Contractor shall not exceed or incur costs that exceed the amount of funding stated on each Reimbursable Supplies and Services CLIN at the time a reimbursable item is ordered.

(5) The Government is not obligated to reimburse the Contractor for otherwise reimbursable supplies and services in excess of the funded amount stated in the Schedule under each Reimbursable CLIN.

(6) The Contractor is not obligated to continue performance of any reimbursable work under this Contract or otherwise incur costs for reimbursable supplies or services in excess of the funded amount stated in the Schedule under each Reimbursable CLIN unless the Contracting Officer notifies the Contractor that the funded amount stated in the Schedule under the applicable Reimbursables CLIN has been increased.

Notification shall be in writing. In the event notification is made orally, such notification shall be followed up in writing within two working days.

(7) No notice, communication, or representation from any person other than the Contracting Officer shall affect the Government’s obligation to reimburse the Contractor.

(8) Change orders shall not be considered an authorization to exceed the funded amount stated in the Schedule under each Reimbursable CLIN unless they contain a statement expressly increasing the funded amount of the Reimbursables CLIN by a sufficient amount to cover the change order.

6. PASSENGERS, SUPERCARGO AND GOVERNMENT REPRESENTATIVES:

(a) Charterer’s Option. The Charterer shall have the option of carrying passengers, assigning officers and/or enlisted personnel aboard the Vessel for duty purposes and appointing supercargo (supercargo as used herein is both plural and singular) as far as accommodations and inspection certification allow and in accordance with COMSC Instruction 3120.19 as amended. If supercargo remains onboard for over 24 hours, Charterer shall, in accordance with the Reimbursable Supplies and Services clause of this Performance Work Statement (See below, paragraph 36), pay an amount of $30.00 per day, per person, covering all expenses including accommodations and victualling. Owner shall victual all other U.S.

Government representatives, pilots, and Customs Officers when authorized by Charterer. Charterer shall pay $7.00 per meal for all such authorized and approved victualling provided as a result thereof.

(b) Military Personnel. In addition to the carriage of personnel noted in subparagraph above, Charterer shall have the option to assign other military personnel aboard the Vessel. Such personnel are not to require victualling or berthing facilities from the Vessel unless requested by the military commander aboard, in which case the Owner will, in accordance with the Reimbursable Supplies and Services clause of this SOW, be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses, not to exceed the amount per person per day set forth in the subparagraph above. Charterer will supply life floats and jackets for the use of such military personnel carried aboard the Vessel during the Charter period. Such items are to be removed by Charterer at termination of Charter.

(c) Charterer’s Liability. The Charterer shall be liable to the Owner for any loss of the Vessel's fittings or appurtenances or any damage to the Vessel, her fittings, or appurtenances caused by the act of passengers, supercargoes, evacuees, or military personnel in the embarkation, carriage, or debarkation of passengers, supercargoes, evacuees, or military personnel to the extent such loss or damage is not payable under the Vessel's insurance policies. However, the Charterer shall not be liable for such damage unless written notice specifying such damage and, if obtainable, the name of the party or parties causing such damage shall have been given to the Charterer or its authorized representative within a reasonable time. Payment for any such loss or damage shall be by agreement of the parties and failure to agree shall be resolved under the FAR clause 52.212-4(d) Disputes.

7.

INSURANCE

INSURANCE

1. Vessel Owner’s Insurance

(1) General. During the full period of this Contract, the Owner shall maintain commercially reasonable and standard marine insurance coverage on the Vessels, including Broad Form Tower’s Liability Insurance (including damage to the Tow) on each tug performing under this Contract, Hull and Machinery, Protection and Indemnity (P&I) (including Tower’s Protection and Indemnity Liability Insurance on each tug performing under this Contract), Pollution Liability, War Risk Hull and Machinery, War Risk P&I, and Second Seamen's War Risk and Government Personnel Training Insurance (shall cover hands-on operation of the vessel equipment by Government personnel while training to operate the tug under the Emergency Situations and Training clause). Except as provided herein, the Owner shall be responsible for the cost of such insurance, including deductibles, premia, additional premia, calls, commissions, advancements, assessments, and overspill claims where applicable. Within 10 calendar days following award of the contract, the Owner shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing that the required insurance has been obtained.

(2) Limitation of Liability. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Charterer shall not be liable for any loss, damage, expense, cost, or liability whatsoever and howsoever incurred by the Owner or Vessel, or which are imposed upon the Owner or Vessel by operation of law. Any Amount due the Owner under paragraph (1) shall be subject to setoff by the Charterer to the extent of any amount recovered under insurance carried by the Owner, or to the extent of any amount recoverable under insurance required by paragraph (1).

(3) Cancellation or Material Change in Coverage. All policies shall contain an endorsement stating that “in the event of cancellation or any material change in policies adversely affecting the interest of the Government in such insurance, the cancellation or change shall not be effective until 30 days after written notice thereto the Contracting Officer.” Wording such as “will endeavor to mail notice” or “failure to mail such notices shall impose no obligation or liability” is not acceptable.

(4) Charterer Named Assured. The United States of America shall be named as an additional assured with waiver of subrogation under the Vessel’s Broad Form Tower’s Liability policy, Tower’s P&I policy, Hull and Machinery policy (and the Increased Value policy if applicable), the Vessel’s P&I entry, any additional pollution liability coverage, the Vessel’s War Risk Hull and Machinery policy including P&I, and Second Seaman’s War Risk.

2. War

(1) Voyage Instructions. Operating limits of the vessel subject to this contract shall be worldwide. If the Vessel is ordered under this Contract to any port, place, or zone involved in a state of war, warlike operations or hostilities, civil strife, or piracy (whether there be a declaration of war or not) where it might be reasonably expected to be subject to capture, seizure, arrest, or hostile act by a belligerent power (whether de facto or de jure), pirate, or terrorist, it shall be unreasonable for the Owner not to prosecute said voyage if insurance against said risks is then available commercially or under a Government program, or if the Government offers the Owner indemnification against said risks pursuant to Public Law 85-804.

(2) The Vessel Owner shall immediately notify the Charterer: (i) whenever any sailing orders will result in a vessel subject to this contract being sent beyond the limits of the War Risk Trading Warranties of insurance policies required under this contract (to include entry into a war risk exclusion zone or when the vessel will enter, sail for, or deviate towards the territorial waters of any of the Countries or places, or any other waters described in the Lloyd’s Joint War Committee’s current List of Areas of Perceived Enhanced Risk); (ii) if there are any changes to the War Risk Trading Warranties of insurance policies required under this contract (including changes to the exclusion zones or the List of Areas of Perceived Enhanced Risk) or changes to War Risk premiums, charges, or deductibles; or (iii) whenever additional premium charges or costs will be incurred as a direct result of compliance with any sailing orders issued by the Charterer under this contract.

The Owner shall ensure that the insurers provide it relevant information in a timely manner. If the Owner has given this required notice to the Charterer, the Charterer will reimburse the Owner for the increase in costs (if any) of insurance premiums, charges, or deductibles which arise from the vessel sailing beyond the applicable War Risk Trading Warranties (including changes to the war risk exclusion zones) when entry into any exclusion zone or Area of Perceived Enhanced Risk under such insurance has been approved in advance by the Charterer. The issuance of sailing orders, by itself, does not constitute approval in advance by the Charterer. The Charterer may give the Owner notice and instructions concerning suspension of commercial War Risk insurance coverage and substitution of Government indemnity or Government War Risk insurance as detailed in the section entitled “Government War Risk Insurance/Indemnity” below.

(3) Additional Wage Costs. The Charterer shall reimburse Owner for the cost of provable additional master and crew wages (including all additional bonuses and payments required) to the extent that such additional costs arise directly from exposure of the Vessel, and/or Vessel’s master and crew, to the risks described in the paragraph entitled “Voyage Instructions” above. However, any of said wages or payments shall not exceed in amount that which would be payable, under applicable laws and regulations, to U.S. civil service mariners in the employ of the Military Sealift Command in a similar port, place, zone, or route. Owner shall notify Charterer of all anticipated additional wage costs prior to entering any location which would trigger such additional costs; and no such costs shall be reimbursable unless Charterer, after notification of such costs, provides approval to enter such location.

3. Government War Risk Insurance / Indemnity

(1) General. Upon receipt of notice and instruction from the Contracting Officer, as specified in the last sentence of Section (2) of the section entitled “War” above, with respect to any area excluded by the War Risk Trading Warranties or included by the Lloyd’s Joint War Committee on the Hull War, Strikes, Terrorism and Related Perils Listed Areas (also known as Listed Areas of Perceived Enhanced Risk) under the Owner’s commercial War Risk coverage, the Owner shall, as soon as practicable, contact its insurance brokers or underwriters and arrange for the suspension of its commercial War Risk insurance upon entry of the vessel into, or extension of stay of the vessel in such area(s), or when the vessel will enter, sail for, or deviate towards the territorial waters of any of the Countries or places, or any other waters described in the Lloyd’s Joint War Committee’s current Listed Areas of Perceived Enhanced Risk, as the case may be, subject to resumption of its commercial War Risk insurance upon exiting such area(s). In such instances, the Owner shall accept the Government’s indemnity or War Risk insurance, whichever is applicable, in lieu of such commercial War Risk insurance. The Owner shall ensure that the suspension of its commercial War Risk coverage is coincident with the time that any Government indemnity or War Risk insurance becomes effective, and shall likewise ensure that its commercial War Risk insurance is resumed at the time when any Government indemnity or War Risk insurance becomes ineffective. The Owner shall retain the same risks, such as deductibles (if any), that it has under its commercial insurance.

Administration (MARAD), at the request of Commander, Military Sealift Command, may furnish the following war risk insurance coverage, which will be effective during the vessel’s transit under this Contract in areas which are in war risk exclusion zones, or waters described in the current Lloyd’s Joint War Committee Listed Areas of Perceived Enhanced Risk, or otherwise excluded under the Owner’s commercial marine War Risk trading warranties, and which are designated by notice from the Contracting Officer to the Owner:

a. War Risk Protection and Indemnity insurance covering all liabilities up to an amount of $250,000,000;

b. War Risk Second Seaman’s coverage, the principal sum of which shall be $200,000 per Crew Member for loss of life.

(3) Government Indemnity. Under the authority of Public Law 85-804 (72 Stat. 972, August 28, 1958) and Executive Order 10789, as amended by Executive Order 11610, the Secretary of Defense or the Secretary of the Navy may authorize the Contracting Officer to indemnify the Owner against loss from risks that would be covered by MARAD war risk coverage as set forth in the paragraph entitled “Government War Risk Insurance” directly above.
