Double wrapping and addressing of packages For all shipping methods, the prime contractor and any associated subcontractors will ensure that all project documentation, regardless of classification, is double-wrapped with both

SAQMMA-17-R-0126 Page 19 of 102 layers addressed properly and labeled with the sender’s address. Document tracking receipts should be packaged inside the inner wrapping with the materials the receipt describes. No indication of the classification or sensitivity should appear on the outer wrapper.

Unclassified and SBU packages addressed to overseas facilities or sites may not have the words “blueprints” or “drawings” displayed on the outer wrapper.

Packaging heavy materials in appropriate containers In applying the above double-wrapping and addressing procedures, items sent via US mail or commercial carrier weighing more than one (1) pound shall be enclosed within an appropriately sized double-walled box or, for rolled drawings, a manufactured mailing tube.

The cardboard box or mailing tube counts as the second layer of wrap.

F.5 SCHEDULES

CONTRACTOR’S SUBMISSION OF PROJECT EXECUTION SCHEDULES

SAQMMA-17-R-0126 Page 24 of 102

The time for submission of the schedules shall be as required in the Statement of Work.

These schedules shall include the construction, shop drawings, product data, samples and other submittals required by the contract to be submitted for acceptance.

All deliverables shall be in the English language, unless otherwise provided hereunder, and any system of dimensions (i.e., English or metric) shown shall be consistent with that used in the contract. No extension of time shall be allowed because of a delay by the Government in approving such deliverables if the Contractor has failed to act promptly and responsively in submitting its deliverables. Each deliverable shall be identified as required by the contract.

The Contractor shall revise such schedules (1) to account for the actual progress of the work,

(2) to reflect approved adjustments in the performance schedule, and (3) as required by the COR to achieve coordination with work by the Government and any separate contractors employed by the Government. The Contractor shall submit schedules on the last day of the preceding month for the next month’s work. The schedule shall sequence work to minimize disruption at the jobsite.

F.6 WORK HOURS

For this project the hours of work should be according to regular work hours in Colombia, this is 40 hours a week and from 8:00H to 17:00H (1 hour of lunch). If other schedule is proposed by the contractor it requires the approval from the beneficiary.

F.7 EXCUSABLE DELAYS

The Contractor will be allowed time, not money, for excusable delays as defined in FAR 52.249-10, Default. Examples of such cases include (l) acts of God or of the public enemy;

(2) acts of the United States Government in either its sovereign or contractual capacity; (3) acts of the government of the host country in its sovereign capacity; (4) acts of another contractor in the performance of a contract with the Government; (5)fires; (6) floods; (7) epidemics; (8) quarantine restrictions; (9) strikes; (l0) freight embargoes; and (11) unusually severe weather.

In each instance, the failure to perform must be beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor, and the failure to perform furthermore (1) must be one that the Contractor could not have reasonably anticipated and taken adequate measures to protect against, (2) cannot be overcome by reasonable efforts to reschedule the work, and (3) directly and materially affects the date of final completion of the project.

In determining whether the Contractor’s failure to perform is beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor, if the Contractor contends that its inability to perform is due to poor security conditions, the Government will consider, at a minimum, the following: (i) whether the Contractor implemented adequate security resources, in light of the information reasonably available to the Contractor; (ii) whether the Contractor deployed adequate additional security resources in a timely manner and on an expedited basis, once the need for additional security resources became reasonably clear; and (iii) whether the security conditions were directly impacting the Contractor in its performance of its contract (as

SAQMMA-17-R-0126 Page 25 of 102 opposed to generalized assessments of security conditions in an entire country or city).

Furthermore, the mere fact that the diplomatic post in the city or country where the contract was being performed changed its operating status (e.g., from Authorized Departure to Ordered Departure) or that a new travel warning, warden message, or similar document or communication was issued by the Department of State, will not establish that the security conditions prevented the Contractor from performing the Contract.

F.8 DELIVERABLES/SUBMITTALS

The contractor shall furnish the following deliverables/submittals listed in the Statement of Work as well as all other identified under this contract.

F.9 RESERVED

F.10 PROJECT EXECUTION SCHEDULE

Project Execution Schedules shall be submitted to the COR for acceptance. The schedule shall show the order in which the Contractor proposes to perform the work and the dates on and time periods within which the Contractor contemplates starting and completing the various portions of the work, in the form and containing such detail as is required by the Contract Documents. The Contractor shall revise such schedules (1) to account for the actual progress of the work, (2) to reflect approved adjustments in the Contract Time, and (3) as required by the COR to achieve coordination with work by the Government and separate contractors. If the Contractor fails to submit any schedule or schedule revision within the time prescribed, the COR may withhold approval of progress payments until the Contractor submits the required schedule or schedule revision.

Acceptance of schedule - When the Government has accepted any time schedule, it shall be binding upon the Contractor. The Contract Time is fixed by the contract, and may be extended only by a written Contract modification, Change Order or Supplemental Agreement signed by the Contracting Officer. Acceptance or approval of any schedule or revision thereof by the Government shall not (1) be effective to extend the Contract Time or obligate the Government to do so, (2) constitute acceptance of any delay, nor (3) excuse the Contractor from or relieve the Contractor of its obligation to maintain the progress of the work and achieve final completion within the Contract Time.

Recording progress - The Contractor shall record the actual progress of the work against the approved schedules in the form and at intervals as may be required by the COR.

Notice of delay - In the event the Contractor receives a notice of any change in the work, or if any other conditions arise which are likely to cause or are actually causing delays which the Contractor believes may result in completion of the project after the Contract Time, the Contractor shall notify the COR of the effect, if any, of such change or other conditions upon the accepted schedule, and shall state in what respects, if any, the relevant schedule or the Contract Time should be revised. Such notice shall be given promptly and not more than 30 calendar days following the first occurrence of event giving rise to the delay or prospective delay. Revisions to the accepted Progress Schedule shall only be made with the approval of the COR.

SAQMMA-17-R-0126 Page 26 of 102

Maintenance of progress - If the Contractor falls behind an accepted schedule, the Contractor shall take steps necessary to improve its progress or overcome any delays and ensure completion of the work within the Contract Time, without additional cost to the Government.

In this circumstance, the contractor shall demonstrate how the approved rate of progress will be regained and shall submit for acceptance a supplementary schedule or schedules.

Methods may include: increase of any or all of the number of shifts, overtime operations, days of work, and the amount of construction planned.

Schedule revision and equitable adjustments - Upon the request of the Contractor, the Contracting Officer shall ascertain the facts and the extent of the any failure to adhere to the performance schedule resulting from alleged excusable delay. If the Contracting Officer determines that any failure to perform results from one or more of the causes for an excusable delay, the relevant schedules shall be revised, subject to the rights of the Government under the termination clause of this contract. In addition, if and to the extent considered appropriate in the judgment of the Contracting Officer, an equitable adjustment shall be made in the Contract Time.

F.11 DOCUMENTATION OF REQUESTS FOR EXTENSION
