Section H - Special Contract Requirements Clause List

3.1.9-1 ELECTRONIC COMMERCE AND SIGNATURE (JUL 2020)

(a) The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN) establishes a legal equivalence between:

(b) With the submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges and accepts the utilization of electronic commerce as part of the requirements of this solicitation and the resultant contract.

(c) Certain documents may need to be provided or maintained in original form, such as large-scale drawings impractical to convert to electronic format or a document with a raised seal signifying authenticity.

H001 STATE REGULATION OF FEDERAL CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

FAA contractors may encounter requests from State and local governments for the FAA’s contractors to obtain building permits, zoning approval, sanitation approval, etc. Based on the “Supremacy Clause” set forth in Article 6 of the U.S. Constitution, construction contractors are not required to obtain most permits or approvals for work done on Federal construction projects. The States do have enforcement authority for safety and environmental protection as specified by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability (Superfund) Act (CERCLA), and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).

Contractors who encounter attempts by State or local government entities to assess various types of fees against a FAA construction project should be advised to inform the Contracting Officer immediately if the assessing entity attempts in any way to prevent or hinder the contractor at the job site.

(End of Clause)

H002 APPLICABLE MINIMUM HOURLY WAGE RATES

The wage determination decision of the Secretary of Labor in this contract specifies the minimum hourly rate of wages which must be paid to the laborers and mechanics employed or work at the job site. The rates have been determined by the Secretary of Labor in accordance with the provisions of the Davis Bacon Act, as amended, to be prevailing rates for the corresponding classes of laborers employed on contracts of a similar character in the locality where the work is performed.

While the wage rates given in the decision are the MINIMUM rates required to be paid during the life of the contract, it is the responsibility of offerors to inform themselves as to local labor conditions, such as the prevailing wage rates, the length of the workday and work week, overtime compensation, fringe benefits payments, available labor supply, and prospective changes or adjustments to wage rates. The contractor must abide by and conform to all applicable laws, Executive Orders, and rules, regulations, and orders of the Secretary of Labor. No increase in contract price will be allowed or authorized for the payment of wage rates in excess of those listed in the contract wage determination decision.

The wage determination decision of the Secretary of Labor in this contract is solely for the purpose of setting for the minimum hourly wage rates required to be paid during the life of the contract and is not to be accepted as a guarantee, warranty, or representation of the wage rates indicated.

NOTE: THE DAVIS BACON ACT IS APPLICABLE (SEE CONTRACT CLAUSES). REFERENCE

THE ATTACHED GENERAL WAGE DECISION NO. CO20240017, dated 02/23/2024, FOR THE STATE OF

COLORADO (SEE SECTION “J”). THE WAGE DETERMINATION IS HEREBY INCORPORATED INTO

3.2.2.3-39 REQUIREMENTS FOR CERTIFIED COST OR PRICING DATA OR DATA OTHER

THAN CERTIFIED COST OR PRICING DATA - MODIFICATIONS (JAN 2022)

(a) Request for exception from certified cost or pricing data requirements.

(1) In lieu of submitting certified cost or pricing data for modifications under this contract, on the date of the agreement on price or the date of the award, whichever is later, the Contractor may submit a written request for exception by submitting the information described in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (ii) of this clause. The Contracting Officer may require additional supporting information, but only to the extent necessary to determine whether an exception should be granted, and whether the price is fair and reasonable.

(i) Identification of the law or regulation establishing the price offered. If the price is controlled under law by periodic rulings, reviews, or similar actions of a governmental body, attach a copy of the controlling document, unless it was previously submitted to the contracting office.

(ii) Information on modifications of contracts or subcontracts for commercial items.

(A) If-

(1) The original contract or subcontract was granted an exception from certified cost or pricing data requirements because the price agreed upon was based on adequate price competition or prices set by law or regulation, or was a contract or subcontract for the acquisition of a commercial item; and

(2) The modification (to the contract or subcontract) is not exempted based on one of these exceptions, then the Contractor may provide information to establish that the modification would not change the contract or subcontract from a contract or subcontract for the acquisition of a commercial item to a contract or subcontract for the acquisition of an item other than a commercial item.

(B) For a commercial item exception, the Contractor must provide, at a minimum, information on prices at which the same item or similar items have previously been sold that is adequate for evaluating the reasonableness of the price of the modification. Dependent upon the commercial items being catalog items, market-priced items, or items included on an active Federal Supply Service Multiple Award Schedule contract, the Contractor must include the corresponding information pursuant to that of which is described in paragraphs (a)(1)(B)(1); (a)(1)(B)(2) or (a)(1)(B)(3) of this clause:

(1) For catalog items, a copy of or identification of the catalog and its date, or the appropriate pages for the offered items, or a statement that the catalog is on file in the buying office to which the proposal is being submitted. Provide a copy or describe current discount policies and price lists (published or unpublished), e.g., wholesale, original equipment manufacturer, or reseller. Also explain the basis of each offered price and its relationship to the established catalog price, including how the proposed price relates to the price of recent sales in quantities similar to the proposed quantities.

(2) For market-priced items, the source and date or period of the market quotation or other basis for market price, the base amount, and applicable discounts. In addition, describe the nature of the market.

(3) For items included on an active Federal Supply Service Multiple Award Schedule contract, proof that an exception has been granted for the schedule item.

(2) The Contractor grants the Contracting Officer or an authorized representative the right to examine, at any time before award, books, records, documents, or other directly pertinent records to verify any request for an exception under this clause, and the reasonableness of price. For items priced using catalog or market prices, or law or regulation, access does not extend to cost or profit information or other data relevant solely to the Contractor's determination of the prices to be offered in the catalog or marketplace.

(b) Requirements for certified cost or pricing data.

If the offeror is not granted an exception from the requirement to submit certified cost or pricing data, the following applies:

(1) The offeror must prepare and submit certified cost or pricing data, data other than certified cost or pricing data, and supporting attachments in accordance with the information contained at AMS Guidance T3.2.3.G.1 "Instructions for Submitting Certified Cost/Price Proposals for Supplies, Services, or Construction," which is incorporated by reference with the same force and effect as though it were inserted here in full text. The instructions in AMS T3.2.3.G.1 are incorporated as a mandatory format to be used in this contract.

(2) As soon as practicable after agreement on price, but before contract award (except for unpriced actions such as letter contracts), the offeror must submit a Certificate of Current Cost or Pricing Data that conforms to the instructions contained in the Appendix G1 to AMS Guidance T3.2.3, 'Cost and Price Methodology."

(End of clause)

3.2.2.3-41 PERFORMING WORK (JUL 2004)

The Contractor (you) must perform, using your own organization, work equivalent to at least 15 percent of the total amount of work under the contract on the site.

(End of clause)

3.2.2.3-42 DIFFERING SITE CONDITIONS (JUL 2004)

(a) Before the conditions are disturbed, the Contractor (you) must promptly notify the Contractor Officer (CO) in writing of either or both of the following conditions:

(1) Subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site which differ materially from those described in this contract.

(2) Unknown physical conditions at the site, of an unusual nature, which differ materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent to the type of work the contract covers.

(b) FAA (we) will investigate the site conditions promptly after receiving the notice. If the CO determines that the conditions do materially differ and cause an increase or decrease in your cost of, or the time required for, performing any part of the work under this contract, the CO will make an equitable adjustment under this clause and modify the contract accordingly in writing.

(c) The CO will not accept your request for an equitable adjustment to the contract unless you give the written notice. However, the CO may extend the time for giving written notice.

(we) encourages you to use recycled materials to manufacture the products. If the contract specifies equipment, material, or articles by trade name, make, or catalog number, you must use those specific items. We will not accept equivalent items unless the specification authorizes it.

(b) You must perform all work under this contract in a skillful and workmanlike manner. The Contracting Officer (CO) may require, in writing, that you remove employees whom the CO determines are incompetent, careless, or otherwise objectionable.

(End of clause)

3.2.2.3-56 SCHEDULES FOR CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS (JUL 2004)

(a) The Contractor (you) must, within five days after the work on the contract starts or after another period determined by the Contracting Officer (CO), prepare and submit to the CO for approval three copies of a practicable schedule showing the order in which you propose to perform the work, and the dates you plan to start and finish the important stages of the work (including acquiring materials, plant, and equipment). The schedule must be in a progress chart of suitable scale to indicate appropriately the percentage of work scheduled for completion during the contract period. If you do not submit a schedule within the time prescribed, FAA (us) may withhold payments until you submit the schedule. If you fall behind your schedule, you must send a revised schedule with your next request for payment. Provide us additional schedules as soon as practicable if the CO requests them.

(b) With each payment request, submit a copy of the last schedule you submitted, annotated to show progress to date. If at any time, in the CO's opinion, you have fallen behind the schedule to an extent which would jeopardize timely completion, you must take steps to improve progress, including those the CO may require, to enable timely completion without additional cost to us. The CO may require you to increase the number of shifts, the amount of overtime, days of work each week, or the amount of constructor plant being used. You must submit any supplementary schedules the CO deems necessary to demonstrate how you will regain the rate of progress necessary for timely completion.

(c) If you fail to comply with the CO's requirements under this clause, the CO may determine that you are not performing the work with enough diligence to ensure completing it within the time the contract requires. If the CO makes this determination, the CO may terminate this contract for default.

(End of clause)

3.2.2.3-60 SPECIFICATIONS, DRAWINGS, AND MATERIAL OFFERS (MAR 2009) - ALTERNATE

I (MAR 2009)

(a) If either the specifications or the drawings (but not both) mention tasks, the Contractor (you) must assume that the tasks are in both. If the drawings and specifications differ, the specifications govern. If there is a discrepancy in the figures, in the drawings, or in the specifications, submit the matter promptly to the Contracting Officer (CO), who will promptly determine which governs, and notify you in writing. Any adjustment you make without the CO's determination is at your own risk and expense. From time to time the CO will provide necessary detailed drawings and other information, unless otherwise provided.

(b) Wherever in the specifications or the drawings FAA (we, our) uses "directed," "required," "ordered," "designated," "prescribed," or similar words, they refer to the CO's requirements. Similarly, "approved," "acceptable," "satisfactory," or similar words refer to the CO's approval, unless otherwise expressly stated. You must have a complete set of plans and specifications on site and available for our use.

(c) Where we use "as shown," "as indicated," "as detailed," or similar words, they refer to the drawings accompanying this contract, unless stated otherwise. The word "provided" means "provided and installed."

(d) Omissions from the drawings and specifications or the erroneous description of details of work which are necessary to carry out the intent of the drawings and specifications, or which are customarily performed, does not relieve you from performing those omitted or erroneously described details of the work. You must perform them as if fully and correctly set forth and described in the drawings and specifications.

(e) You must check all drawings we provide to you before starting work and must promptly notify the CO of any discrepancies. In general you should follow figures marked on drawings, rather than scale measurements. In general, large scale drawings have precedence over small scale drawings. You must compare all drawings and verify the figures before laying out the work. If you do not verify the figures, you will be responsible for any errors you might have avoided had you verified them.

(f) "Shop drawings" means drawings, you or any subcontractor submit to us under a construction contract, showing in detail the proposed fabrication and assembly of structural elements and the installation (that is, form, fit, and attachment details) of materials or equipment. It includes drawings, diagrams, layouts, schematics, descriptive literature, illustrations, schedules, performance and test data, and similar materials you provided to explain in detail specific portions of the work the contract requires.

FAA may duplicate, use, and disclose in any manner and for any purpose shop drawings you deliver under this contract.

(g) If this contract requires material offers (for example, shop drawings, catalog cuts, certificates of conformance), you must coordinate all of your offers, and review them for accuracy, completeness, and compliance with contract requirements. You must provide evidence that you approve the submittals. If you submit materials to us without this evidence, we may return them and ask you to resubmit them. The CO will indicate whether he or she approves or disapproves your offer, and if the CO does not approve it as submitted, will indicate our reasons for rejecting it. Any work done before the CO's approval is at your risk. The CO's approval does not relieve you from responsibility for any errors or omissions in the submittals, nor from responsibility for complying with the contract requirements, except as described under (h).

(h) If you submittals vary from the contract requirements, you must describe the variations in writing, separate from the submittal, when you submit them. Send this description, a copy of the offer, and a proposal to incorporate it into the contract directly to the CO. If the CO approves a variation, the CO must issue an appropriate contract modification, unless the variation is minor or does not involve a change in price or in time of performance.

(i) You must submit to the CO for approval four copies (unless otherwise indicated) of all shop drawings as called for under the various headings of these specifications. The CO will keep three sets (unless otherwise indicated) of all offers and will return one set to you.

(j) You must insert this clause, with appropriate changes in the designation of the parties, in all subcontracts.

(k) When you finish the work under this contract, you must provide (see SOW) complete reproducible sets of all shop drawings as we finally approve them. These drawings must show all changes and revisions made up to the time you finish the work and we accept it.

(2) Submit a safety plan for dealing with each specific hazard identified, whether you or FAA identified it.

(3) Meet with the CO's representatives during the preconstruction conference to discuss and to develop a mutual understanding about the content and implementation of the plan.

(4) The CO or her or his representatives may require other hazards to be added to the plan. If the CO determines that your planned hazard avoidance measures are insufficient, the CO or a designated representative may require you to revise the plan. You may not begin work involving identified hazards unless you have submitted adequate plans to the CO and the CO has reviewed them. This approval does not relieve you of your liability for safe performance.
