Vehicles not in compliance are subject to being ticketed and towed at the Contractor's sole expense. In addition, the GPO may revoke Contractor's parking privileges as a result of Contractor's abuse of parking privileges. Additional parking permits can be purchased at the GPO’s Parking Office on a first come first served basis, at the Contractors expense, by making arrangements thru the COTR Contracting Officer's Technical Representatives).

H.2 Protection of Property

Contractor Responsibility: If due to the default, negligence (whether of action or omission) and/or dishonesty of the Contractor or its employees, any Government-owned or controlled property is lost or damaged as a result of the Contractor’s performance of this task order, the Contractor must be responsible to the Government for such loss or damage, and the Government at its option, may, in lieu of payment therefore, require the Contractor to replace at its own expense, all property lost or damaged.

H.3 Removal of Contractor Personnel

It is understood that all personnel assigned by the Contractor to the performance of work hereunder must be acceptable to the GPO in terms of personal and professional conduct and must successfully complete a full background investigation before obtaining access to the premises. Any person in the Contractor’s organization or in any Subcontractor’s organization, who is deemed by the Contracting Officer or the COR to conflict with the interest of the GPO, must be immediately removed from this task order. The reason for removal must be fully documented in writing by the Contracting Officer. Any security violations, denials or revocations of security clearance may be construed as grounds for immediate removal from the premises.

The Contractor's employees assigned to work on this contract have an affirmative obligation to disclose to the Contracting Officer any personal or business relationship with Government personnel, or financial interests, which could present the appearance of an existing or potential conflict of interest. Failure to do so, if such becomes known by other means could result in a determination of non-responsibility prior to award or termination of contract after award.

H.5 Travel Regulations

As a general rule, local travel expenses will not be reimbursed under this contact. Examples of local travel which will not be subject to reimbursement are: 1) travel to and from normal job site (i.e. commuting costs) and 2) supervisory personnel traveling to a Government site or alternative facility to oversee operations. Personnel assigned to a Government site or alternative facility will consider such facility the normal job site. However, there are circumstances under which local travel reimbursement is allowable, such as when personnel are requested or required by the Government to travel to a local site which is not their normal job site, the local transportation expenses (e.g. metro, cab, parking, etc.) can be reimbursed. The COR of each contract shall make such determinations and authorizations as appropriate.
