PART I - THE SCHEDULE

Section B, Price Schedule, detailed information

CLIN 0001 –Attachment J-2 – Category “A” WIs provides a WI breakdown of CLIN 0001 pricing.

CLIN 0002: This CLIN contains the FBLR (e.g., G&A, overhead, profit, supervision, consumables, and/or support functions, etc.) and the ODC profit and G&A rate. These rates are used 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. Additionally, this CLIN includes G&A and profit rates for ODC to be used for negotiating changes. These rates shall prevail even when the contract is extended/modified. The number of AGR man-hours and the ODC base amount are estimates that were generated for evaluation purposes. The actual amounts of man-hours and ODC may be used interchangeably under the contract which could result in a distribution and amount of man-hours and ODC that is either higher or lower than that stated in CLIN 0002. Any additional AGR or ODC required beyond the CLIN 0002 estimated amount shall 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 defined herein 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 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 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 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, stated in this CLIN does not include the profit or G&A rates.

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

CLINs 0003 through 0005 –Attachment J-3 – Category “B” WIs provides a WI breakdown of CLIN 0003 through 00XX pricing.

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 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 CHENG as well as the PPE by demonstrations, completed test memoranda, or other means reasonably acceptable to the Ship’s Master and CHENG, as well as the PPE, 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, is 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 CHENG, 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 CHENG, as well as the PPE, 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 WI 0023 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.

H-3 AGR 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 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 WI and the current conditions or a needed repair found during the open and inspect phase of the WI, the contractor may submit a CFR to the ACO and the 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) day 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 (3) options set forth in subparagraph (d) below. AGR proposals shall be priced using the 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 AGR (CLIN 0002). Settlement of AGR (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 CCO 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 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 WI and the current conditions or a needed repair found during the open and inspect phase of the WI, the contractor may submit a CFR to the ACO and the 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) day 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 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 be limited to, Material (Part number, Order Quantity, Unit Price, and Total Price), equipment (Part Number, Order Quantity, Unit Price, and Total Price), labor (FBLR, Proposed Labor Mix/Categories, and Proposed Manhours), and ODC (Travel and Per Diem)

- Etc.

The 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;
