The Contractor must submit to the CO and COR a description of the action, an explanation of why the action should be considered, and, at a minimum, a not-to-exceed (NTE) price, as soon as practical. This must be submitted by electronic mail.

The CO or COR will coordinate the action with the appropriate FAA personnel. The COR will forward a recommendation for approval or disapproval to the CO. The CO is the only individual who can authorize O&A actions.

The Contractor must submit a fixed price proposal within thirty (30) days, if the O&A was authorized based on an NTE, and in the event of need, the action must be definitized in accordance with paragraph H.5.3 of this clause.

H.5 DEFINITIZATION OF O&A ACTIONS

Undefinitized O&A actions that may be issued pursuant to this clause must be incorporated in the contract modification or authorization letter from the CO that directs such O&A tasks, the terms and conditions substantially as shown below:

(a) Limitations of Government Liability: In performing the effort authorized by this contractual document, the Contractor is not authorized to make expenditures or incur obligations in the amount of $____________(TBD). Contractor must have no obligation to proceed with any over and above task exceeding $_____(TBD) or for which no agreement was reached on pricing.

(b) Definitization: The schedule for definitizing this contractual document is set forth below:

Proposal Submission: 10 days Negotiations Complete: 5 days Contract Revision Distribution: 25 days

If the parties are unable to reach agreement on a definitive contractual document to supersede this authorization by the “Negotiations Complete” date referenced above—or within any extension of that date granted by the Contracting Officer—the Contracting Officer may unilaterally determine a reasonable price or fee. This determination shall be subject to the Contractor’s rights of appeal as provided under the Disputes clause of the contract. Notwithstanding the absence of a finalized agreement, the Contractor shall proceed with performance as directed in this contractual action, subject only to the limitations set forth in the clause entitled “Limitation of Government Liability.”

Furthermore, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing whenever it has reason to believe that the costs it expects to incur under this contractual action within the next 60 calendar days—when combined with all costs previously incurred—will exceed 75% of the total amount currently obligated under this contractual action.

The notification shall include an estimate of the additional funding required to continue performance through the contract modification date specified above, or to another date mutually agreed upon by both parties.

H.6 TAXES

The Government will not be responsible for any taxes assessed on the sale to or importation by the Contractor of materials or equipment for incorporation into the simulator (including without limitation brokerage fees and customs processing fees) and any personal property taxes assessed against the simulator or any part thereof on or prior to acceptance of the simulator in accordance with the PWS at Section 7.0 with respect to periods on or prior to such date, for which taxes the Contractor must be solely responsible. For the avoidance of doubt, the Contractor must also be responsible for any taxes imposed on or measured by its net income resulting from the sale of the simulator.

3.1.9-1 ELECTRONIC COMMERCE AND SIGNATURE (JUL 2020)

(a) The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN) establishes a legal equivalence between:

(1) Contracts written on paper and contracts in electronic form;

(2) Pen-and-ink signatures and electronic signatures; and

(3) Other legally-required written records and the same information in electronic form.

(b) With the submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges and accepts the utilization of electronic commerce as part of the requirements of this solicitation and the resultant contract.

(c) Certain documents may need to be provided or maintained in original form, such as large-scale drawings impractical to convert to electronic format or a document with a raised seal signifying authenticity. This clause does not change or affect any other requirements that a document must be in paper format to satisfy legal requirements such as for certain real estate transactions.

(d) The use of electronic signature technology is authorized under this solicitation and the resulting contract.

(e) Contractors must not digitally sign any documents with software that uses the Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA- 1). All digitally signed documents and contracts sent to the FAA must use a SHA-256 or higher hash algorithm. This is based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Policy Statement on Hash Functions dated August 5, 2015. Further guidance on the use of SHA-256 is in NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-57 Part 1, section

5.6.2 as amended and SP 800-131A, Revision 1 dated November 6, 2015. Additional guidance on the use of SHA-3 is in NIST SP 800-185 as amended.

(f) Contractors do not have to update documents previously digitally signed using SHA-1 hash algorithms unless the document requires updating. The FAA and contractors may continue to use SHA-1 for the following applications:

Verifying old digital signatures and time stamps, generating and verifying hash-based message authentication codes (HMACs), key derivation functions (KDFs), and random bit/number generation.

(End of Clause)

The health and safety requirements of the MMAC Environmental, Occupational Safety and Health System (EOSHMS) are modeled after the specifications found in the Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series, BS OHSAS 18001: 2007. The MMAC EOSHMS requires that all contractors that provide goods and services that can affect MMAC's environmental, occupational safety and health programs shall, prior to start of performance of work under this contract:

(i) Ensure that all employees supporting the contract work activities are:

(iii) Complete and sign the 'Certification of Contractor Conformance to the MMAC EOSHMS' included in Section K of this solicitation/contract. Contractor's signature of this certification certifies that the contractor has verified that all MMAC EOSHMS requirements have been or will be met and that work performed hereunder shall be in conformance with the MMAC EOSHMS. Submission of this certification is a prerequisite for contract award.

(b) If the Contractor works more than 1000 employee-hours in one quarter on the MMAC Campus, the Contractor shall prepare and submit an annual report of injury and illness information regarding this workforce as specified in 29 CFR 1904.

(1) The number of employee-hours worked during the preceding fiscal year;

(2) The number of OSHA recordable cases (defined as mishaps that result in fatalities, lost workdays, medical treatment, restricted workdays or a loss of consciousness) that occurred during the preceding fiscal year;

(3) The number of cases which resulted in days away and/or restricted/transferred duty that occurred during the preceding fiscal year.

(c) If there are conflicts between any of the requirements referenced in this contract, the more stringent requirement will prevail.

(d) If the Contractor fails or refuses to promptly comply with any environmental, safety or health requirements stated in this Clause, the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) will notify the Contractor of any such noncompliance and the Contractor shall take immediate corrective action. Such notice, whether oral or written, when served on the Contractor or any of its employees at the site of the work, shall be deemed sufficient. All oral notices will be followed up with a written notice to the Contractor. If the Contractor fails or refuses to promptly correct the condition, the COR may stop all or any portion of the work. When satisfactory corrective action has been taken, the contractor shall request permission to resume work from the COR. No time extension or additional costs, resulting from the directive to stop work shall be allowed. Failure of the COR to provide notice of noncompliance or to stop work shall not relieve the Contractor of its responsibility for the safe performance of the work.

(e) The Contractor shall require contract personnel to wear personal protective equipment when it is necessary because of the hazards on the job and in most instances will provide the equipment and corresponding training, except that which has been specified to be furnished by FAA.

(b) The contractor shall include the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (b), in all subcontracts executed under this contract and shall require all subcontractors to provide the required report to the contractor.

AC4557 STRIKES OR PICKETING

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Contractor is responsible for delays arising out of labor disputes, including but not limited to strikes, if such strikes are reasonably avoidable. A delay caused by a strike or by picketing which constitutes an unfair labor practice is not excusable unless the Contractor takes all reasonable and appropriate action to end such a strike or picketing, such as the filing of a charge with the National Labor Relations Board, the use of other available Government procedures, and the use of private boards or organizations for the settlement of disputes.
