If circumstances indicate the potential need for overtime in order to accomplish a task, the contractor shall request, in writing/email if possible, the overtime hours to the COR for endorsement. The COR will then submit the endorsed contractor’s overtime hours request to the KO and obtain written approval from the KO in advance of the work. The KO’s written approval will be provided to the contractor and the COR. Overtime rates shall be reimbursed at the required rates in the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) or Service Contract Act (SCA) respectively or at the rate(s) proposed and accepted for SCA positions. For the reimbursement of overtime for Exempt positions, if applicable, those labor rates shall be negotiated prior to the incurrence of any costs. All overtime requests will include the reason for the overtime, numbers of contractor employees involved, the estimated total number of overtime hours for the event, and the estimated total charge associated with the overtime request. The COR will forward the overtime request, with endorsement, to the KO for approval. This estimated total, when approved by the KO, represents the not to exceed amount.

Additional approval must be sought prior to exceeding the estimated total. Overtime will not be authorized to compensate for shortcomings in contractor performance. Approvals for using overtime shall ordinarily be prospective and allow for prior KO approval, but, if justified by mission urgency or emergency circumstances, approvals may be retroactive. In the event of an urgent mission requirement or emergency circumstance, and the KO is unavailable to provide written approval prior to the commencement of the work, with COR concurrence and verification of funds available, the contractor may proceed with the overtime as requested. It is the responsibility of the contractor to verify sufficient funds are available to cover the expense associated with the overtime prior to working the overtime. The KO will provide retroactive approval, assuming confirmation of availability of sufficient funds, in writing per FAR 22.103-4

(i) for work performed which has been justified appropriately and meets the guidelines established in this paragraph.

1.11.3.4. The contractor shall address, in detail, its procedures, personnel, and the means to accomplish mission requirements without delay in the event of sudden or unusual events that could impact the contractor's performance and contract requirements such as, but not limited to mobilization, terrorism, natural disaster, utility outages, or labor disputes.

Government will identify tasks qualifying performers as essential personnel as applicable with the contractor providing a list of essential personnel required to perform those tasks to the COR. The COR will be responsible for providing Government security personnel with a list of contractor ‘mission essential personnel’ to enable access to Government facilities when ‘non-essential’ personnel are barred. Contractor will operate in accordance with DoDI 1100.22, ‘Continuation of Essential DoD Contractor Services during Crisis’. The contractor shall include a strike contingency plan as part of its Plan in accordance with FAR Clause 52.222-1, Notice to the Government of Labor Disputes.
