The contractor shall follow the instructions stated below when completing Section B:

CLIN 0001 – The contractor shall complete CLIN 0001 NET AMT, each of the fill-in items stated in the extended description, and complete Attachment J-2 – Category “A” Wis.

CLIN 0002: Indicate the Fully-Burdended Labor Rate (FBLR) (e.g., General and Administrative (G&A), Profit, Supervision, and/or support functions) and the ODC Profit and G&A rate. These rates will be used in evaluating the contractor’s proposal and shall be the rate for pricing changes negotiated under the H-3 Clause – AGR and H-4 Clause ODC, for the duration of the contract. Changes are inherent to vessel repair contracts and should be expected by the Contractors. Offerors shall include a fully burdened labor rate to be used in negotiating changes. The rate must include all costs for negotiating changes, including but not limited to, G&A, overhead, profit, etc. The offeror shall insert rates below that it agrees to use in negotiating changes for new or additional work. These rates shall prevail throughout the duration of the contract. The number of man-hours and ODC base are estimates for evaluation purposes and the actual distribution and amounts of man-hours and ODC may be higher or lower than those stated in CLIN 0002. Any additional AGR or ODC required beyond the CLIN 0002 estimated amount may be added through contract modification using the same AGR and ODC rates agreed upon at contract award. Any unused AGR or ODC will be de-obligated from the contract at the same AGR and ODC rates agreed upon at contract award. The contractor agrees that the number of man-hours included in its proposed price for such AGR shall include only direct production man-hours. For these purposes, direct production man-hours are for skilled labor at the Journeyman level expended in direct production as exemplified by the following functions:

Direct production man-hours will not include those functions (whether charged directly or indirectly by the contractor’s accounting system) which are herein defined as support for production functions. Necessary support functions shall be considered to be included in the offeror's FBLR for direct production man-hours. Examples of support functions include:

Consumable materials are goods used in the ordinary course of work performance such as office supplies, paper, rags, vehicle or equipment fuel costs, cleaning chemicals, disposable tools, welding rods, paint buckets, paint brushes, protective clothing, etc. that are consumed/used in the process of repair and do not become an integral part of the repaired vessel. Consumable material shall be included in the contractor's fully loaded manhour rate and not separately priced.

The rates proposed for profit and G&A on CLIN 0002 above shall be the same rates used by the contractor in its responses to the Request For Contract Change Order (CCO) Proposals issued under this contract. The KO will apply these rates to the ODCs for each CCO when it is negotiated and settled.

The base cost does not include the profit or G&A rates. Include the final figure that results when proposed profit and G&A rates are applied to the base price of the contractor’s total price for evaluation purposes.

NOTE: This does not include any material cost for Category “A” WIs. The material cost for Category “A” WIs should be included under CLIN 0001.

CLINs 0003 through 0005 – The offeror shall complete CLIN 0003 through 0005 NET AMT, each of the fill-in items, and complete Attachment J-3 – Category “B” WIs.

H-3 ADDITIONAL GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS CONTRACT LINE ITEM NUMBER (CLIN 0002)

(a) The Government may utilize CLIN 0002 for and not limited to, man-hours generated from a discrepancy found between WIs and the current conditions or a needed repair found during the open and inspect phase of the WI. This work may consist of supplemental, emergent, or new work. AGR does not include work performed pursuant to DFARS Clause 252.217-7005 - Inspection and Manner of Doing Work, 252.217-7013 - Guarantees, or other contract clauses relating to the correction of defects. The contractor agrees that CLIN 0002 AGR man-hours, if ordered, shall be performed concurrently with CLIN 0001 and any or all Category “B” WIs exercised, during the contract’s performance period, without impacting, accelerating, or causing delay or disruption to the work required by the aforementioned work items (WIs), to any other Government contract, or to any other work in progress for the Government. Work under this CLIN may coincide with ODC, and therefore will be performed concurrently with H-4 (ODC).

(b) As a result of a discrepancy found between the work item and the current conditions or a needed repair found during the open and inspect phase of the work item, the contractor may submit a Condition Found Report (CFR) to the Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO) and the Principle Port Engineer (PPE). As a result of this report submission, the ACO may request a proposal from the contractor. Whenever the Government orders AGR pursuant to this clause, the contractor shall submit a price proposal for such work. This proposal shall be submitted within three (3) days of the receipt of the Government's request for a proposal, or within such additional time provided in writing by the KO. The contractor's failure to submit its proposal within the three (3) days period, or such extended period of time, may be considered a failure of the parties to negotiate a fair and reasonable price for the AGR and will permit the KO to take any of the three options set forth in subparagraph (d) below. AGR proposals shall be priced using the Fully-Burdened Labor Rate (FBLR) set forth in Section B, CLIN 0002. The rate established in CLIN 0002 will be used in evaluating the contractor's proposal and will also be used for negotiating changes as required by this clause. As part of the contractor’s proposal submission for AGR, the following shall be included:

(c) Considering FBLRs have been pre-approved in CLIN 0002, proposal evaluation may be limited to: (1) evaluating the mix of labor categories and associated man-hours to ensure that they are reasonable to meet the Government’s minimum requirements in addressing these discrepancies or repairs found; and (2) as a result of the mix of labor categories and man-hours, the subsequent AGR price is fair and reasonable IAW FAR 15.404-1(b) – Price analysis for commercial and non-commercial items. In the event that a fair and reasonable price cannot be negotiated, the KO reserves the right to procure these ODCs utilizing alternative means described in subparagraph (d), below.

(d) Upon receipt of the contractor's price proposal for the AGR the contractor and the KO shall negotiate the scope of the effort. If a fair and reasonable price cannot be negotiated between the contractor and the KO, the KO reserves the right to:

(1) Have the work performed by the Government;

(2) Issue a unilateral modification

(3) Cancel the requirement.

(e) The contractor knowingly and voluntarily waives all claims against the Government and/or other third party contractors for delay, disruption, loss of efficiency, or other impact arising out of or based upon the presence of Government or other contractor employees performing the AGR at the contractor's facility. Furthermore, in cases described in sub-paragraphs (d)(1) and (2) above, the contractor waives any right to claims of interference under the DFARS Clause 252.217-7011 - Access to Vessels.

(f) The contractor warrants and hereby certifies that its price for the firm fixed portion of this contract (CLIN 0001) does not include any amount for the "Additional Government Requirements" (CLIN 0002). Settlement of “Additional Government Requirements” (CLIN 0002) will be for the purpose of providing funding. In the event the Government requires additional work, authorization to proceed shall be made only by the KO. The Contractor is to perform and invoice against CLIN 0002 ONLY for work that has been AUTHORIZED through a settled RFP and incorporated into the contract through a contract modification. All funding remaining on CLINs 0001 through 0005 at contract completion shall be de-obligated.

H – 4 OTHER DIRECT COSTS (CLIN 0002)

(a) The Government may utilize CLIN 0002 for and not limited to, material and equipment, generated from a discrepancy found between WIs and the current conditions or a needed repair found during the open and inspect phase of the WI. This work may consist of supplemental, emergent, or new work. ODC does not include work performed pursuant to DFARS Clause 252.217-7005 - Inspection and Manner of Doing Work, 252.217-7013 - Guarantees, or other contract clauses relating to the correction of defects. The contractor agrees that CLIN 0002 ODC, if ordered, shall be performed concurrently with CLIN 0001 and any or all Category “B” WIs exercised, during the contract’s performance period, without impacting, accelerating, or causing delay or disruption to the work required by the aforementioned work items (WIs), to any other Government contract, or to any other work in progress for the Government. Work under this CLIN may coincide with AGR, and therefore will be performed concurrently with H-3 (AGR).

(b) As a result of a discrepancy found between the work item and the current conditions or a needed repair found during the open and inspect phase of the work item, the contractor may submit a Condition Found Report (CFR) to the Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO) and the Principle Port Engineer (PPE). As a result of this report submission, the ACO may request a proposal from the contractor. Whenever the Government orders ODC pursuant to this clause, the contractor shall submit a price proposal for such work. This proposal shall be submitted within three (3) days of the receipt of the Government's request for a proposal, or within such additional time provided in writing by the KO. The contractor's failure to submit its proposal within the three (3) days period, or such extended period of time, may be considered a failure of the parties to negotiate a fair and reasonable price for the ODC and will permit the KO to take any of the three options set forth in subparagraph (d) below. As part of the contractor’s proposal submission for Other Direct Costs (ODCs), the following shall be included:

Material -Part number -Order quantity -Unit Price -Total Price

Equipment

- Part number

- Order quantity

- Etc.

The General and Administration (G&A) and Profit rates proposed shall be the same as the rates provided under CLIN 0002 in the contract.

(c) Considering, G&A and Profit rates have been pre-approved in CLIN 0002, proposal evaluation may be limited to: (1) evaluating the mix of ODCs proposed to ensure that they are reasonable to meet the Government’s minimum requirements in addressing these discrepancies or repairs found; and (2) the costs of the ODCs are fair and reasonable IAW FAR 15.404-1(b) – Price analysis for commercial and non-commercial items. In the event that a fair and reasonable price cannot be negotiated, the KO reserves the right to procure these ODCs utilizing alternative means described in subparagraph (d), below.

(d) Upon receipt of the contractor's price proposal for the AGR the contractor and the KO shall negotiate the scope of the effort. If a fair and reasonable price cannot be negotiated between the contractor and the KO, the KO reserves the right to:

(1) Have the work performed by the Government;

(2) Issue a unilateral modification

(3) Cancel the requirement.

(e) The contractor knowingly and voluntarily waives all claims against the Government and/or other third party contractors for delay, disruption, loss of efficiency, or other impact arising out of or based upon the presence of Government or other contractor employees performing the ODC at the contractor's facility. Furthermore, in cases described in sub-paragraphs (d)(1) and (2) above, the contractor waives any right to claims of interference under the DFARS Clause 252.217-7011 - Access to Vessels.

(f) The contractor warrants and hereby certifies that its price for the firm fixed portion of this contract (CLIN 0001) does not include any amount for the "Other Direct Costs" (CLIN 0002). Settlement of “Other Direct Costs” (CLIN 0002) will be for the purpose of providing funding. In the event the Government requires additional work, authorization to proceed shall be made only by the KO. The Contractor is to perform and invoice against CLIN 0002 ONLY for work that has been AUTHORIZED through a settled RFP and incorporated into the contract through a contract modification. All funding remaining on CLINs 0001 through 0005 at contract completion shall be de-obligated.
