Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) for this contract Tammie Mather Civil Engineer Cleveland National Forest Supervisor’s Office 10845 Rancho Bernardo Road #200 San Diego, CA 92127 858-674-2972 Tammie.mather@usda.gov

G.2 DESIGNATION OF CONTRACTING OFFICER’S REPRESENTATIVE

The Contracting Officer will designate a Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) at the time of contract award.

The COR is responsible for administering the performance of work under this contract. In no event, however, will any understanding, agreement, modification, change order, or other matter deviating from the terms of this contract be effective or binding upon the Government unless formalized by proper contractual documents executed by the Contracting Officer prior to completion of the contract.

The COR will act as a liaison between the U.S. Forest Service herein referred to as "Service" and the Contractor, and, when necessary, will provide technical direction to the Contractor. The COR, however, is not authorized to change any of the terms and conditions of the contract, issue new assignments of work, make decisions concerning disputes arising under the contract, or resolve differing site condition matters. Neither the presence nor absence of a government representative shall relieve the Contractor of its responsibilities under the contract.

The Contracting Officer should be informed as soon as possible of any actions or inactions by the Contractor or the Government which will change the required delivery or completion times stated in the contract, and the contract will be modified accordingly. (This does not apply to individual task assignments which were issued by the COR provided they do not affect the delivery schedule or performance period stated in the contract).

On all matters that pertain to the contract terms the Contractor must communicate with the Contracting Officer.

Whenever, in the opinion of the Contractor, the COR requests effort outside the scope of the contract, the Contractor should so advise the COR. If the COR persists and there still exists a disagreement as to proper contractual coverage, the Contracting Officer should be notified immediately, preferably in writing if time permits. Proceeding with work without proper contractual coverage could result in nonpayment or necessitate submittal of a contract claim.

G.3 Technical Direction

The performance of the work required herein shall be subject to the technical direction and surveillance of the COR. As used herein, "technical direction" is direction to the Contractor which requires pursuit of certain lines of inquiry, filling in details or otherwise serving to accomplish the contract specifications. The technical direction, to be valid:(a) Must be issued in writing consistent with the general scope of the work set forth in the contract;(b) May not constitute a new assignment of work or changes to the expressed terms, conditions, or specifications incorporated into this contract; (c) Shall not constitute a basis for extension of the contract delivery schedule. Nothing contained in this part authorizes the Contractor to incur costs in excess of the contract price or other limitation of funds set forth in the contract due to extra work performed in response to informal directions, suggestions, or instructions (oral or written) given by representatives of the CO, unless prior to commencing such work, the Contractor: 1) directly notifies the CO; 2) requests a formal contract modification; and 3) receives written authorization to proceed from the CO.

The Government may designate a Construction Inspector (CI) (if applicable) who will be available at the site to inspect the work as it progresses. The CI will prepare an Inspector's Daily Log, beginning with the first day of the contract, detailing ground and weather conditions, work being performed, materials delivered, and notes of any problems or difficulties. Government inspections do not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for providing adequate quality control measures. At the end of every day of work on this contract, the Contractor's Superintendent, as defined below, shall contact the CI, review the daily log, and sign as the Contractor's representative. Unless the Contractor's Superintendent makes notations to the contrary on the daily log, the log shall be presumed to be accurate. The CI is not authorized to make technical decisions or give technical directions; the Contractor or the Contractor's Superintendent must contact the COR regarding such decisions and directions. The Contractor shall have a competent superintendent (hereinafter referred to as the "Contractor's Superintendent") who is (i) deemed acceptable to the Government; (ii) authorized to act on the Contractor's behalf; and (iii) be present on the job site at all times when contract work is being performed. (See Superintendence by the Contractor, Section I, Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Clause 52.236-6.)
