DAILY RATES

OTHER REQUIREMENTS

OFF HIRE

1. GENERAL. 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;

average accidents to Vessel or cargo unless resulting from inherent vice, quality, or defect of the cargo; repairs;

inspections; all dry-dockings including those for the purpose of examination/inspection or painting bottom but not for those dry-dockings under the Alterations clause contained herein; or deviation for the purpose of landing 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.

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.

Charter Hire (Per Day) See Box 18A

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 were 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.
