I BACKGROUND / SCOPE OF SERVICES

A. The American Consulate General Frankfurt requires moving services. The contractors shall provide moving, loading / unloading and transportation services including all required equipment in accordance with the specifications contained in Section C, Description / Specifications / Work Statement, and the terms and conditions of the contracts. It is anticipated that two separate contracts will be awarded.

B. This is an Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) type contract with fixed unit prices under which annual firm fixed unit price task orders will be issued. The contract shall remain unfunded. The fixed prices for the services are specified in Attachment 2 – Pricing. All quantities listed in the Schedule are reasonable estimates per year based on past experience. They do not obligate the American Consulate General to order that amount.

C. Minimum and Maximum Contract Amounts

As per FAR 52.216-22, "INDEFINITE QUANTITY," the minimum and maximum amounts for this indefinite quantity contract shall be any quantity or combination of supplies and services equal to the amount (s) set forth below. The US Government (USG) makes no guarantee as to the number of orders or actual amount of services that may be requested above the guaranteed minimum value for the life of the contract.

The minimum for this indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract is €3,000.00 for the base and all option periods (combined).

The maximum for this indefinite quantity contract (if the USG exercises all options) shall be any quantity or combination of supplies and services with a contract value of €4,000,000.00.

II ABBREVIATIONS / ACCRONYMS / DEFINITIONS (see Section V.1)

III PRICES

A.1 The contractor shall complete all work, including furnishing all labor, material, equipment and services, unless otherwise specified herein, required under this contract for the firm fixed unit prices indicated below and within the time specified herein. The prices entered into Attachment 2 – Pricing shall include all costs for labor, materials, profit, and, if applicable, value added tax (VAT).

Moving Services Page 6 of 78

Any costs not separately priced will be considered to be included in the prices as overhead or other indirect cost. No additional sums will be payable on account of any escalation in the cost of materials, equipment or labor, or because of the contractor's failure to properly estimate or accurately predict the cost or difficulty of achieving the results required by this contract unless a situation as described in paragraph 1.A.3 below occurs. Nor will the contract price be adjusted on account of fluctuations in the currency exchange rates.

A.2 The currency shall be fixed and cannot be changed by modification to the contract.

A.3 Price Adjustment Based on Laws – Prices may be adjusted during the performance period of the contract as a result of laws enacted by the host government, if such change in the laws has a direct impact on the cost to the contractor to perform this contract at the contracted rate. In that event, the Contracting Officer may enter into negotiations with the contractor to modify the contract to adjust the premium rate(s). The contractor agrees to provide all documentation necessary to support any requested adjustment.

A.4 The contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) in writing

20 days before the contractor expects the total costs incurred to exceed 75% of the funding provided by task order.

B. VAT – If applicable, the contractor shall be responsible for paying to the appropriate authority the applicable rate of Value Added Tax (VAT). Offerors shall identify the VAT as a separate line item. The VAT shall also be a separate cost item on all invoices submitted against task orders under the resulting contract. The contractor will be reimbursed for VAT only up to the amount listed in each task order and upon presentation of proof that VAT has been paid to the host country government. If the contractor receives a VAT refund from the host government he shall re-pay the refund amount to the US Government.

t. System for Award Management (SAM).

(1) Unless exempted by an addendum to this contract, the Contractor is responsible during performance and through final payment of any contract for the accuracy and completeness of the data within the SAM database, and for any liability resulting from the Government’s reliance on inaccurate or incomplete data. To remain registered in the SAM database after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates its information in the SAM database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating information in the SAM does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document.

(2)

(i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, “doing business as” name, or division name (whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name agreements in Subpart 42.12, the Contractor shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day’s written notification of its intention to:

(A) Change the name in the SAM database;

(B) Comply with the requirements of Subpart 42.12 of the FAR;

(C) Agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the responsible Contracting Officer. The Contractor must provide with the notification sufficient documentation to support the legally changed name.

(ii) If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (t)(2)(i) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at paragraph (t)(2)(i)(C) of this clause, and, in the absence of a properly executed novation or change-of-name agreement, the SAM information that shows the Contractor to be other than the Contractor indicated in the contract will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the “Suspension of Payment” paragraph of the electronic funds transfer (EFT) clause of this contract.

(3) The Contractor shall not change the name or address for EFT payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the SAM record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims (see FAR Subpart 32.8, Assignment of Claims). Assignees shall be separately registered in the SAM database. Information provided to the Contractor’s SAM record that indicates payments, including those made by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that Contractor will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the “Suspension of payment” paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract.

(4) Offerors and Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via SAM accessed through https://www.acquisition.gov.

u. Unauthorized Obligations.

(1) Except as stated in paragraph (u)(2) of this clause, when any supply or service acquired under this contract is subject to any End Use License Agreement (EULA), Terms of Service (TOS), or similar legal instrument or agreement, that includes any clause requiring the Government to indemnify the Contractor or any person or entity for damages, costs, fees, or any other loss or liability that would create an Anti-Deficiency Act violation (31 U.S.C. 1341), the following shall govern:

(i) Any such clause is unenforceable against the Government.

(ii) Neither the Government nor any Government authorized end user shall be deemed to have agreed to such clause by virtue of it appearing in the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement. If the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement is invoked through an “I agree” click box or other comparable mechanism (e.g., “click-wrap” or “browse-wrap” agreements), execution does not bind the Government or any Government authorized end user to such clause.

(iii) Any such clause is deemed to be stricken from the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement.

(2) Paragraph (u)(1) of this clause does not apply to indemnification by the Government that is expressly authorized by statute and specifically authorized under applicable agency regulations and procedures.

v. Incorporation by reference. The Contractor’s representations and certifications, including those completed electronically via the System for Award Management (SAM), are incorporated by reference into the contract.
