SPECIFIC TASKS

5. SPECIFIC TASKS

5.1. HUSBANDING SUPPORT

5.1.1. DESCRIPTION OF CONTRACTUAL SCOPE. The services to be provided through performance consist of husbanding, management and integration services and consist of the following broad categories: general charter and hire. The Husbanding Service Provider (HSP) contractor, shall provide husbanding, management, and integration services which include, but are not limited to, brows, brow stand, tugs, pilot services, line handler services, fenders, crane services, and forklift services.

5.1.2. Husbanding, management, and integration services are provided by a HSP from a standard list of supplies/services at a Firm-Fixed-Price. Supplies/Services other than ship repair services supporting deployed ships shall be within contractual scope. HSP are required to manage and integrate all services provided through an awarded purchase order, to include services provided by subcontractors, Port Authorities, and Host Nations. Services supporting maritime and land-based activities may be required. HSP shall ensure that ordered supplies/services conform to the general requirements of the contract pursuant to this PWS.

5.1.3. This contract is for support of sovereign vessels of the United States. Many of the usual relationships and practices in commercial ships’ husbanding do not apply. This contract governs the relationship between the United States and the HSP. This contract governs and supersedes any usual commercial practice that conflicts with the terms of the contract. This contract creates an independent contractual relationship between the HSP and the United States. The HSP is the prime contractor to provide the United States all requirements called for in this purchase order. Only the HSP contractor has privity of contract with any other entity, including port authorities that the HSP uses to execute the purchase order. The HSP contractor may inform entities with which it must cooperate to execute a purchase order that it has a contract with the United States to integrate and provide port services to a sovereign vessel of the United States.

A contractor that provides integrated husbanding services, such as the services required by this contract, is sometimes referred to in the commercial ships’ husbanding business as an "agent."

Often “agents" in the commercial husbanding business have the authority to bind their principals, but in some instances the “agents” do not have that authority. The HSP under this contract has no authority to bind the United States. If necessary, only for the purpose of standard port authority documentation requiring the listing of an “agent” for the ship or vessel, the HSP may list itself as an “agent” for obtaining the port services required to execute a task order. In listing itself as an “agent,” however, the HSP must make clear to the port authority the nature of its relationship with the United States, i.e., that it is an independent contractor, with no authority to bind the United States and the HSP remains liable for its actions and the actions of its subcontractors under the contract. An HSP, in preparing its purchase order quote, or in executing a purchase order issued to it, shall promptly bring to the attention of the Contracting

Officer any difficulties that arise from a port authority because of the HSP’s contractual relationship with the United States. The Contracting Officer will determine whether the assistance of the United States is required to resolve the difficulties or resolving them is the responsibility of the HSP. The HSP will keep the Contracting Officer informed of the current status of such difficulties from a port authority. If the difficulties make successful performance impossible, and efforts by the HSP to resolve the difficulties are unsuccessful, through no fault of, or failure to cooperate by, the HSP, then no purchase order will be issued to the HSP, or the purchase order may be cancelled at no cost to the United States, if one has been issued. In any case, the contracting officer may seek to acquire the required services from another HSP or using another acquisition approach.

The HSP does not have the authority to:

a. Exert ultimate control over the acquisition, use, or disposition of United States Government property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), including establishing policies for the collection, control, or disbursement of Federal Funds;

b. Determine, protect, and advance economic, political, territorial, property, or other interests by military or diplomatic action, civil or criminal judicial proceedings, contract management, or otherwise; or

c. Commit or bind the United States, to include requiring the Government to take, or not to take, action by contract, policy, regulation, authorization, order, or otherwise.

The HSP must comply with the established task order procedures for any increases or decreases in the services outlined in the task order award.

5.1.4. In performing this contract, the HSP shall comply with its terms and with laws or regulations of the country where performance occurs to include applicable environmental, safety and health regulations, and shall obtain any insurances, licenses or permits required by these laws or regulations. If there is a difference between the terms of this contract and laws or regulations of the country where performance occurs, the HSP shall promptly notify the United States Government if it believes that it will be unable to fully perform specified tasks or provide specified requirements because of problems, disputes, or complications with the respective country where performance occurs.

5.2.2 DESCRIPTION OF RESPONSIBILITY. The contractor shall conduct all planning assistance and administration support functions as identified in the below specific tasks in a timely and professional manner IAW the Order Form associated with the Port Call. Furthermore, the contractor ensures the coordination for all items contained in the specified tasks will be facilitated and prepared for the crew.
