Condition Found Reports (CFRs) and Change Requests (CRs) will be transmitted electronically by email. The following will be used for the submission and processing of CFRs and CRs for the duration of the contract performance period:

All reports of reading and inspections required by the specifications shall be submitted to the COR in writing using a "Condition Found Report (CFR)" form, within 24 hours after the readings and/or inspections are made.

Promptness in taking and reporting readings is particularly important for underbody work items such as shaft bearing or rudder bearing clearances. Often during the progress of a work item, conditions are discovered by the contractor which is considered abnormal for reasons of safety, expected reliability, health, or habitability. These conditions must be brought to the attention of the Coast Guard using a CFR. Details provided by the Contractor in a CFR are important because the CFR may result in a contract change.

A task order will be issued to incorporate and implement all approved changes.

F) POTENTIAL ADDITIONAL WORK

(a) The Contractor shall not perform additional work without the Contracting Officer's authorization. Potential additional work will be handled under the CFR/CR process noted above and will be work within the scope of the contract, which has not been previously priced as a pre-priced CLIN. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to contract for additional work on the basis of a negotiated, firm, fixed price, when it is in the best interest of the Government. Scope of services shall include ship repair and associated support work and may include work that is not currently listed on Attachment (1), Schedule of Supplies/Services.

(b) The Contractor shall furnish a price breakdown directly to the Contracting Officer, itemized as required by the Contracting Officer, of any quote submitted for a contract modification.

Any amount claimed for subcontracts shall be supported by a separate, similar price breakdown. If the quote includes a request for a time extension, justification shall be furnished with the quote.

(c) This clause is to be used in conjunction with the clause COMPOSITE LABOR RATE (See below) incorporated into this solicitation.

Material shall be best commercial quality available except where a precise specification is indicated in which case the specification shall apply, e.g., MILSPEC, FEDERAL SPEC.

G) COMPOSITE LABOR HOUR RATE

The composite labor hour rate offered shall be the sole labor hour rate used to price the Prime Contractor's direct labor hours for contract changes, i.e. additional work.

(a) The composite labor hour rate shall represent total compensation for the following:

1. Direct labor wages and salaries;

2. All employee benefits including, but not limited to, paid leave, supplemental pay, insurance, retirement, savings, and legally required benefits;

3. Other direct costs associated with transit time, delay, disruption, expendable supplies, and equipment;

5. Any port or association fees, rents, or other levies;

6. Profit (fee);

7. All direct and indirect costs and profit associated with the following support functions:

8. All consumables;

(b) The composite labor hour rate will be applied to production labor hours only. Production labor hours include only those hours necessary and reasonable to perform direct production functions and do not include the hours expended on the support functions listed above. This exclusion of support function hours applies whether such support functions are normally charged directly or indirectly by the Contractor's accounting system. These support functions are to be priced into the composite labor rate proposed and shall not be separately compensated.

(c) The Quantity of Composite Labor hours indicated in the Schedule of Supplies/Services, is only an estimate and is an Optional Item pursuant to this solicitation. The Estimated Quantity represents the Government's best estimate of the total number of additional hours that may be required throughout the contract. The Government may elect to exceed this value at the prices stated in the schedule and its discretion during performance of the contract. The inclusion of this item does not obligate the Government to exercise the item nor entitle the Contractor to compensation if not exercised.

H) ACCESS TO VESSELS

(a) A reasonable number of officers, employees, and associates of the Government, or other prime Contractors with the Government, and their subcontractors, shall, as authorized by the Contracting Officer, have, at all reasonable times, admission to the plant, and access to vessel(s) to perform and fulfill their respective obligations to the Government on a noninterference basis. Work hours for the vessel will be discussed at the Arrival Conference. Any work performed outside of those hours will be allowed at the sole discretion of the Contracting Officer.

The Contractor shall make reasonable arrangements with the Government or Contractors of the Government, as shall have been identified and authorized by the Contracting Officer, to be given admission to the Contractor's facilities and access to the vessel(s) and to office space, work areas, storage or shop areas, or other facilities and services, necessary for the performance of their respective responsibilities and reasonable to their performance. All such above personnel shall be required to comply with all Contractor rules and regulations governing personnel at its shipyard, including those relative to safety and security.

(b) The Contractor further agrees, as authorized by the Contracting Officer, to afford to a reasonable number of officers, employees, and associates of bidders on other contemplated work, the same privileges of admission to the Contractor's plant and access to the vessel(s) on a noninterference basis subject to all Contractor rules and regulations governing personnel in its shipyard, including those relative to safety and security.

I) INSPECTIONS

Except as specified elsewhere, the USCG shall rely on the Contractor to accomplish all inspection and testing needed to ensure that the work conforms to contract quality requirements.

Records of all inspection work by the Contractor shall be kept complete and available to the Government during the term of this contract and for such longer period as may be specified elsewhere in this contract.

The name and telephone number of the U.S. Coast Guard Inspector will be provided after the award of a contract resulting from this solicitation.

J) PROGRESS PAYMENTS

(a) The Contractor may invoice requesting progress payments without discount, other than any prompt payment discount offered, not more frequently than every two weeks.

(b) The invoice amount should reflect the percentage and dollar amount of completion established by the cutter's appropriate weekly progress report. Payments shall be derived from the accomplished percentage of completion as determined by the Contracting Officer.

(c) A CLIN may not be invoiced until the percentage complete reaches 25 percent. Future invoices for that CLIN have no limitation as to the percentage of completion required before invoicing. (The minimum percentage of completion (25%) to be reached prior to billing each CLIN may be waived by the Contracting Officer on a case by case basis for large dollar CLINS.)

(d) All material and work paid for by progress payments shall thereby become the sole property of the Government, but this provision shall not relieve the contractor from the obligation to complete the requirements of the contract.

(e) The Contractor shall be paid the remaining amount due upon completion and acceptance of all work under this contract.

K) INVOICE SUBMISSION PROCESS

Invoicing instructions shall be provided on each individual task order.

RESPONSIBLE OFFICIAL(S) WHO CAN RECEIVE NOTIFICATION OF AN IMPROPER INVOICE AND ANSWER QUESTIONS REGARDING THE INVOICE.

(c) Subcontracts. The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (c), in subcontracts under this contract (including subcontracts for the acquisition of commercial products or commercial services, other than commercially available off-the-shelf items), in which the subcontractor may have Federal contract information residing in or transiting through its information system.
