(c) Government's Right of Recovery: Nothing in the above paragraphs shall be considered to preclude the Government from receiving the benefits of any insurance the Contractor may carry which provides for the indemnification of any loss or destruction of, or damages to property in the custody and care of the contractor where such loss, destruction or damage is to Government property. The Contractor shall do nothing to prejudice the Government's right to recover against third parties for any loss, destruction of, or damage to Government property, and upon the request of the Contracting Officer shall, at the Government's expense, furnish to the Government all reasonable assistance and cooperation (including assistance in the prosecution of suit and the execution of instruments of assignment in favor of the Government) in obtaining recovery.

1) Notify the Contracting Officer of a potential conflict, and;

2) Recommend to the Government an alternate approach which would avoid the potential conflict, or

3) Present for approval a conflict of interest mitigation plan that will:

System (CPARS) and the Federal Awarded Performance and Integrity Information System

(FAPIIS) to record and maintain past performance information. The past performance systems hosts a suite of web-enabled applications that are used to document Contractor performance information that is required by Federal Regulations.

The CPARS module assesses performance on contracts for Systems, Services, Information

Technology, and Operations Support, Architect-Engineer contracts and performance on

Construction contracts. CPARS reference material can be accessed at https://cpars.cpars.gov/cpars/app/home.do

Federal Awarded Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) http://www.fapiis.gov/fapiis/govt/datareports.jsp

The registration process requires the Contractor to identify an individual that will serve as a primary contact. This individual will be authorized access to the evaluation for review and comment. In addition, the Contractor is encouraged to identify a secondary contact in the event the primary contact is unavailable to process the evaluation within the required 60-day time period. After the BEP Contract Specialist registers the contract in one of the systems listed above, the Contractor will receive a system generated e-mail notifying him/her that the contract is registered. A system generated e-mail will also provide the Contractor with a User ID if the person does not already have a system User ID.

Once a performance evaluation has been prepared and is ready for comment, the Contractor representative will receive a system generated e-mail notification that the performance evaluation is electronically available for review and comment. The Contractor representative will receive an automated e-mail whenever an assessment is completed and can subsequently retrieve the completed assessment from system. Contractors may access evaluations at one of the website listed above for review and comment in CPARS.
