The Contractor shall maintain complete inspection records and make them available to the Government. All work shall be conducted under the general direction of the Contracting Officer and is subject to Government inspection and test at all places and at all reasonable times before acceptance to ensure strict compliance with the terms of the contract.

(1) Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for providing adequate quality control measures;

(2) Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for damage to or loss of the material before acceptance;

(3) Constitute or imply acceptance; or

(4) Affect the continuing rights of the Government after acceptance of the completed work under paragraph (i) of this section.

(d) The presence or absence of a Government inspector does not relieve the Contractor from any contract requirement, nor is the inspector authorized to change any term or condition of the specification without the Contracting Officer's written authorization.

(e) The Contractor shall promptly furnish, at no increase in contract price, all facilities, labor, and material reasonably needed for performing such safe and convenient inspections and tests as may be required by the Contracting Officer. The Government may charge to the Contractor any additional cost of inspection or test when work is not ready at the time specified by the Contractor for inspection or test, or when prior rejection makes reinspection or retest necessary.

The Government shall perform all inspections and tests in a manner that will not unnecessarily delay the work. Special, full size, and performance tests shall be performed as described in the contract.

(f) The Contractor shall, without charge, replace or correct work found by the Government not to conform to contract requirements, unless in the public interest the Government consents to accept the work with an appropriate adjustment in contract price.

(g) If the Contractor does not promptly replace or correct rejected work, the Government may--

(1) by contract or otherwise, replace or correct the work and charge the cost to the Contractor; or

Solicitation No. 140A1621R0003 Page 8 of 114 furnish all necessary facilities, labor, and material. If the work is found to be defective or nonconforming in any material respect due to the fault of the Contractor or its subcontractors, the Contractor shall defray the expenses of the examination and of satisfactory reconstruction.

However, if the work is found to meet contract requirements, the Contracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment for the additional services involved in the examination and reconstruction, including, if completion of the work was thereby delayed, an extension of time.

(i) Unless otherwise specified in the contract, the Government shall accept, as promptly as practicable after completion and inspection, all work required by the contract or that portion of the work the Contracting Officer determines can be accepted separately. Acceptance shall be final and conclusive except for latent defects, fraud, gross mistakes amounting to fraud, or the Government's rights under any warranty or guarantee.

E.2. DAILY REPORTING REQUIREMENT

B. The Contractor and the Contracting Officer’s Representative will jointly conduct a pre-final inspection prior to requesting a final inspection. Any item needing correction shall be noted on the Pre-Final Inspection Punch List. Any discrepancies noted will be corrected prior to any final inspection. The Contracting Officer Representative may schedule more than one pre-final inspection if he determines it necessary.

C. When the Contractor is ready for final inspection, he will request final inspection in writing to the Contracting Officer and Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). A copy of the Pre- Final Punch List shall be attached to this request with the corrective action taken noted. The final inspection will be requested at least 48 hours before the desired date.

D. The final inspection shall be performed with the Contractor by the COR, Contracting Officer, Solicitation No. 140A1621R0003 Page 9 of 114

Safety Officer, and representatives of the using activity. Any discrepancies noted will be corrected within the time specified in the contract for the completion of work.

(b) If the performance of all or any part of the work is, for an unreasonable period of time, suspended, delayed, or interrupted (1) by an act of the Contracting Officer in the administration of this contract, or (2) by the Contracting Officer's failure to act within the time specified in this contract (or within a reasonable time if not specified), an adjustment shall be made for any increase in the cost of performance of this contract (excluding profit) necessarily caused by the unreasonable suspension, delay, or interruption, and the contract modified in writing accordingly. However, no adjustment shall be made under this clause for any suspension, delay, or interruption to the extent that performance would have been so suspended, delayed, or interrupted by any other cause, including the fault or negligence of the Contractor, or for which an equitable adjustment is provided for or excluded under any other term or condition of this contract.

(a) COVID Symptoms. Any Contractor personnel, employees, subcontractors, partners, or workers who are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, including but not limited to cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fever, chills, muscle pain, sore throat, new loss of taste or smell should not report to work. Employees may be allowed to return to work after 14 days of having no symptoms. Contractor’s project managers and site superintendents are responsible to monitor employees for symptoms before and during work, and follow appropriate precautions in accordance with CDC Guidance –Safety Practices for Critical Infrastructure Workers. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-http://www.dhs.gov/real-id-enforcement-brief http://www.dhs.gov/real-id-enforcement-brief

Solicitation No. 140A1621R0003 Page 21 of 114 ncov/community/critical-workers/implementing-safety-practices.html. If a Contractor’s employee is unsure if they are sick, they should consult their supervisor. Visitors exhibiting or reporting COVID-19 symptoms (i.e., cough or shortness of breath or difficulty breathing fever, chills, muscle pain, sore throat, new loss of taste or smell) should be encouraged through notice and signage to leave the facility and reschedule their meeting/visit for a future time when they are in good health.

(b) Face Covers. Contractor personnel are required to wear cloth face coverings while onsite.

Cloth face coverings may prevent people who do not know they have the virus from transmitting it to others. CDC does not recommend the general public wear surgical masks or N-95 respirators to protect themselves from respiratory diseases, including coronavirus (COVID-19).

N-95s and other filtering face piece respirators should continue to be reserved for those at increased risk of exposure including health care workers and other medical first responders, as recommended by current CDC guidance and a job hazard analysis. Appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Cloth face coverings are not respirators and are not appropriate substitutes where filtering face piece respirators are required. Employees who are performing tasks at elevated risk requiring respirators as identified through the job hazards analysis will be provided with the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to perform their jobs safely.

(c) Social Distancing. The CDC guidance includes a primary objective of disease mitigation through good hygiene, staying home when sick, and social distancing. Social distancing is a set of actions taken to stop or slow the spread of a highly contagious disease. The CDC has determined that social distancing is an essential step in preventing the spread of COVID-19. The goal of social distancing is to limit face-to-face contact to decrease the spread of illness among people in community settings. Employees should practice social distancing by putting space (currently six feet) between themselves and others. Visitors that exceed the maximum occupancy for the space should not enter the space. Any waiting area should also be structured to limit aggregation of people to avoid crowding and maintain social distancing. Waiting areas should have suitable floor markings to facilitate social distancing.

(d) Hygiene. Contractors will have an overall cleaning schedule that is consistent with CDC cleaning recommendations including using Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommended cleaning and disinfecting solutions (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/disinfecting-building-facility.html). Additionally, the Contractor shall encourage and support frequent hand washing, hand sanitizing and wiping down of surfaces in high traffic, shared spaces (e.g., elevator lobbies, community desk, pantry, nooks, meeting rooms, restrooms, phone booths). Workstation configurations and schedules should accommodate simplified cleaning measures wherever possible.
