75. Cancellation Fee: The Contractor and Government agree the purpose of this clause is to induce the Contractor to offer to and to provide the required services when the Contractor otherwise would not offer to provide them because of the Contractor’s inability to recover its out-of-pocket costs in the event the Government does not exercise an option to extend the term of the contract or terminates the contract for the convenience of the Government.

In the event the Government does not exercise an option to extend the term of the contract or terminates the contract for convenience, the Contractor shall be entitled to not-to-exceed cancellation costs subject to the following conditions and according to the following schedule:

Prior to Delivery $ (of vessel) Vessel acquisition $ Reflagging $ Conversion/Modification $ During Fixed Performance Period $ Vessel acquisition $ Reflagging $ Conversion/Modification $

During 1st Option Performance Period $ Vessel acquisition $ Reflagging $ Conversion/Modification $

During 2nd Option Performance Period $ Vessel acquisition $ Reflagging $ Conversion/Modification $

During 3rd Option Performance Period $ Vessel acquisition $ Reflagging $ Conversion/Modification $

During 4th Option

Performance Period $ Vessel acquisition $ Reflagging $ Conversion/Modification $

"Cancellation costs" means, and only means, costs specifically identified by the Contractor in its proposal and actually incurred by the Contractor between contract award and vessel delivery to the Government including, and limited to, the following categories of costs: costs incurred by the Contractor for vessel acquisition, reflagging costs and modification, or conversion costs, and only to the extent such modification, or conversion costs were incurred in order for the vessel to meet contract requirements. The Government has sufficient working capital funds for these cancellation costs.

When requesting payment of cancellation costs, the Contractor shall provide evidence satisfactory to the Contracting Officer verifying that Contractor actually incurred the specified categories of cancellation costs prior to delivery of the vessel to the Government and the amount thereof.

The cancellation costs must be reasonable, allowable, and allocable to the contract as defined in FAR 31.201. The Government will not be obligated in any event to reimburse the Contractor for the specified categories of cancellation costs in excess of the amount allotted in the schedule above for each contract period regardless of anything to the contrary in the clause entitled "Termination for Convenience of the Government." The Contractor agrees that payment of the specified cancellation costs according to the schedule above for any contract period fully compensates the Contractor for the specified categories of cancellation costs. The Contractor waives any right it may have to claim any additional costs for the specified categories of cancellation costs in the event such cancellation costs become payable, whether as a result of a termination for convenience or as a result of the Government's failure to exercise an option. As used in this clause, the total amount payable by the Government for the specified categories of cancellation costs in the event the Government does not exercise an option or terminates the contract for convenience is as set forth in the schedule above.

This clause does not limit the rights of the Government under the clauses entitled “Default,” “Termination for Convenience of the Government,” “Loss of Vessel,” “No Cost Cancellation – Deficiencies,” “Remedies,” or “Excessive Time Lost.” The clauses entitled “Default,” “Loss of Vessel,” “No Cost Cancellation – Deficiencies,” “Remedies,” and “Excessive Time Lost” are not subject to cancellation costs.

Note: Pursuant to 10 U.S.C. § 2401, the Government is prohibited from entering into a vessel charter that contains a substantial termination liability. Offerors who submit substantial termination liabilities will not be considered for award. A substantial termination liability is defined by the statute as:

i. An agreement by the U.S., under the contract, to pay an amount equal to or greater than 25% of the value of the vessel for the termination liability; or

ii. An agreement by the U.S., under the contract, to pay an amount equal to or greater than 50% of the value of the vessel for the sum of the termination liability and the value of the total payments attributable to capital-hire.

B-2.1 Hire Rates. Charter hire for services under this Charter Party shall be payable at the applicable rates stipulated in Boxes 13–15 and shall be earned at the expiration of each fifteen (15) days of the charter period. Except as otherwise provided herein, said hire rates shall be considered payment in full for all services of the Vessel and Associated Equipment under this Charter including all overtime, penalty time, bonuses, payments, and emoluments payable to Master, Officers, and crew for services under this Charter, irrespective of the geographic scope of said service. Said hire rates are exclusive of the costs of fuel and port charges, which are addressed at Section H-20 (Fuel) and H-30 (Port Charges and Expenses), respectively.

B-2.2 Loss of Vessel. Should the Vessel be either lost or missing, or become a constructive total loss, this

Charter shall terminate and hire shall cease to be payable at the time of her loss or, if said time is unknown, at the time of the Vessel’s last received communication. If the Vessel should be off hire or missing when a payment of hire would otherwise be due, payment shall be made for all hire due for the charter period until the Vessel was lost or the last communication was received. Thereafter, payment shall be postponed until the off-hire period ceases or the safety of the Vessel is ascertained, as the case may be.

The vessel operator will coordinate ship's position and navigation conditions with the government’s representative and launch the system to be operated. This may or may not include putting divers in the water for launch and recovery requirements. After launch, the vessel and government will coordinate the vessel’s movement to ensure radio and underwater communications are maintained. The vessel will coordinate with the government representative for recovering the system. When operations are complete, the vessel shall recover the safety boats (RIBs/CRRCs), and resume unrestricted operations of the ship. The vessel shall be able to launch/recover one primary system at a time.
