SECTION H - SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

SECTION H CLAUSES

H-1 OPTION FOR INCREASED QUANTITIES

The Government may require the delivery of the numbered line items identified in Section B as option items in any amount up to the unit quantities and at the unit prices stated in the contractor’s Price Breakdown. The Contracting Officer (KO) may exercise the options by giving the contractor written notification or via issuance of standard modification (SF 30). Delivery of option items shall be within the performance period identified in Section F unless the parties otherwise agree.

H-2 PREVENTION OF THE DISCHARGE OF OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES

(a) Policy. In compliance with Executive Order Number 11752 (38 F.R. 34793), the policy of the Department of the Navy (DON) is to conform to the provisions of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended (Title 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq), and the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, as amended (Title 33 U.S.C. 2701 et seq), insofar as these Acts prohibit the discharge of oil, oily mixtures, and hazardous substances, and regardless of whether or not these Acts pertain specifically to the Naval vessel and shore activities. The prescribed clause is intended to implement that policy with respect to the ship(s) being constructed or undergoing repair and overhaul under this contract.

(b) Definitions. For the purpose of this clause, the terms "oil," "oily mixtures," "hazardous substance," and "discharge" shall have the meanings as defined in the Acts referred to in paragraph (a) of this clause and other environmental statutes.

(c) Trials. Prior to commencement of any dock or sea trials hereunder, the contractor shall assure the Ship’s Master and Chief Engineer as well as the Principle Port Engineer by demonstrations, completed test memoranda, or other means reasonably acceptable to the Ship’s Master and Chief Engineer as well as the Principle Port Engineer that all equipment, the function of which is to prevent the accidental discharge of oil, oily mixtures, or hazardous substances from the ship, that the contractor shall be required by the specifications to install, are fully operable.

(d) Reports. The contractor shall, as soon as it has knowledge of any discharge of oil, oily substance, or hazardous substance from the ship, immediately notify the Ship’s Master and Chief Engineer as well as the Principle Port Engineer thereof and shall immediately take all reasonable steps to prevent further discharge. Within 24-hours thereafter, the contractor shall file with the Ship’s Master and Chief Engineer as well as the Principle Port Engineer the "Oil or Hazardous Substance Discharge Report.”

(e) Liability. The contractor shall be liable to the Government for all such costs of removal of such oil, oily mixture, or hazardous substance where such discharge was the result of willful negligence or willful misconduct within the privity and knowledge of the contractor. All documentation related to such waste shall bear the contractor’s generator number in accordance with Work Item 023 HAZARDOUS WASTE DISPOSAL AT A CONTRACTOR'S FACILITY. The contractor shall not be liable for the costs incurred by the Government for the removal of such oil, oily mixture, or hazardous substance when initiated by the Government. Nothing in this contract or this clause replaces or excuses the contractor’s full compliance with state and local environmental protection laws.

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 0004 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

- Unit price

- Total price

Other Direct Costs not captured above

- Travel

- Per Diem (lodging, M&IE daily rates)

- Subcontractor Proposal Breakdown shall include but not limited to, Material (Part number, Order Quantity, Unit Price, and Total Price), equipment (Part Number, Order Quantity, Unit Price, and Total Price), labor (Fully Burdened Labor Rate, Proposed Labor Mix/Categories, and Proposed Manhours), and ODC (Travel and Per Diem)

- 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 0004 at contract completion shall be de-obligated.
