(a) Definition. "Work" includes, but is not limited to, materials, workmanship, and manufacture and fabrication of components.
(b) The Contractor shall maintain an adequate inspection system and perform such inspections as will ensure that the work performed under the contract conforms to contract requirements. 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.
(c) Government inspections and tests are for the sole benefit of the Government and do not--
(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. The Contractor shall promptly segregate and remove rejected material from the premises.
(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
(2) terminate for default the Contractor's right to proceed.
(h) If, before acceptance of the entire work, the Government decides to examine already completed work by removing it or tearing it out, the Contractor, on request, shall promptly 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.

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.
(c) A claim under this clause shall not be allowed--
(1) For any costs incurred more than 20 days before the Contractor shall have notified the Contracting Officer in writing of the act or failure to act involved (but this requirement shall not apply as to a claim resulting from a suspension order); and

All designs, drawings, specifications, notes and other works developed in the performance of this contract shall become the sole property of the Government and may be used on any other design or construction without additional compensation to the Contractor. The Government shall be considered the "person for whom the work was prepared" for the purpose of authorship in any copyrightable work under 17 U.S.C. 201(b). With respect thereto, the Contractor agrees not to assert or authorize others to assert any rights nor establish any claim under the design patent or copyright laws.
H.3 REQUIRED INSURANCE
The contractor shall procure and maintain insurance for each task order during the entire period of performance consistent with FAR 52.228-5, DIAR 1452.228-70, and FAR 28.307, which states the following minimum amounts of liability:
(a) Workers’ Compensation and Employer’s Liability. Contractors are required to comply with applicable Federal and State worker’s compensation and occupational disease statutes. If occupational diseases are not compensable under those statutes, they shall be covered under the employer’s liability section of the insurance policy, except when contract operations are so commingled with a contractor’s commercial operations that it would not be practical to require this coverage. Employer’s liability coverage of at least $100,000 shall be required, except in States with exclusive or monopolistic funds that do not permit workers’ compensation to be written by private carriers. (See 28.305(c) for treatment of contracts subject to the Defense Base Act.)
(b) General Liability. (1) The contracting officer shall require bodily injury liability insurance coverage written on the comprehensive form of policy of at least $500,000 per occurrence.
(c) Property damage liability insurance shall be required only in special circumstances as determined by the agency.
(d) Automobile Liability. The Contracting Officer shall require automobile liability insurance written on the comprehensive form of policy. The policy shall provide for bodily injury and property damage liability covering the operation of all automobiles used in connection with performing the contract. Policies covering automobiles operated in the United States shall provide coverage of at least $200,000 per person and $500,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and $20,000 per occurrence for property damage. The amount of liability coverage on other policies shall be commensurate with any legal requirements of the locality and sufficient to meet normal and customary claims.
H.4 TRIBAL TAXES, REQUIREMENTS AND/OR RESTRICTIONS
(a) Special attention is called to FAR Clause 52.236-7, Permits and Responsibilities and FAR Clause 52.229-3, Federal, State, and Local Taxes. Offerors are responsible for contacting the tax authorities and tribe or tribal organization involved with regard to any requirements regarding state taxes, tribal taxes, royalties and/or other applicable tribal laws or ordinances. Any costs associated with this section shall be included in the contractor’s proposal.
(b) Contractor is responsible for contacting the appropriate TERO office for coordination and approvals.
H.5 VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS (VOC) COMPLIANCE PLAN
(a) Contractors are required to comply with local VOC laws and regulations and shall have an acceptable VOC compliance plan. The plan shall demonstrate that the use of paints, solvents, adhesives and cleaners comply with local VOC laws and regulations governing VOC materials, and that all required permits have been obtained or will be obtained prior to starting work involving VOC's, in the air quality district in which the work will be performed.
(b) The compliance plan shall be submitted by the Contractor to the Contracting Officer within five (5) calendar days after receipt of contract, and prior to the use of any "VOC" materials on the project site. The Government will approve or disapprove the Contractor's compliance plan within five calendar days after receipt. Should the Government reject the compliance plan, the Contractor shall resubmit a revised compliance plan within three calendar days after receipt of the rejection notification. Failure on the part of the Contractor to submit an acceptable "VOC" plan, shall not be grounds for a time extension to the performance period.
(c) An acceptable compliance plan shall contain, as a minimum:
(i) A listing of each material subject to restrictions in the air quality management district in question;
(ii) The rule governing its use;
(iii) A description of the actions which the Contractor will use to comply with the laws and regulations and plans to report to the Contracting Officer any changes in the status of compliance during the life of the contract.
(iv) Alternatively, if no materials are subject to the restrictions in the air quality management district where the work will be performed, or if there are no restrictions, the compliance plan shall so state.
H.6 WAGE RATES
Applicable Construction Wage Rate Requirements are in effect at the time of contract and will apply. Contractors will be provided with the wage determination for pricing purposes.
If crafts or trades are required in the performance of this project for which no wage is listed in the Department of Labor Wage Decision, the Contracting Officer shall be notified in writing.
H.7 CERTIFICATION OF PAYMENTS-RELEASE OF CLAIM
The Contractor, prior to receiving a progress or final payment under this contract, shall submit to the Contracting Officer a certification that the Contractor has made payment from proceeds of prior payments, or that he will make timely payment from the proceeds of the progress or final payment then due him, to his subcontractors and suppliers in accordance with his contractual arrangements. The Contractor shall submit to the Contracting Officer, together with his request for final payment, a properly executed Contractor's Release form.
Failure to submit this completed release shall result in delay of final payment.
H.8 SUBCONTRACT DATA
The Contractor shall submit an executed Statement and Acknowledgment Standard Form 1413, to the Contracting Officer for every subcontractor (including every subcontractor of the second or lower tier) that will be performing work at the construction site. This shall be done before the subcontractor begins work. This form provides an acknowledgment by the subcontractor that mandatory "flow-down" contract clauses have been included in his contract in accordance with FAR Clause 52.222-11. The Prime Contractors will be given copies of Form SF 1413 after award of a contract. Completing this form creates no contractual relationship between subcontractors and the Government.
H.9 CONTRACTOR SECURITY REQUIREMENTS
At the Pre-construction Conference [or prior to beginning work on the contract], the Contractor shall provide a list of all on-site personnel, including sub-contractors (including second and third-tier subcontractors) and suppliers, to the Contracting Officer. The contractor shall update this list when changes occur. Contractor personnel not listed may be denied access to the Mescalero Adult Detention Center facility. Contractor personnel will be restricted to designated working areas. Any personnel violating this policy may lose access to the facility. Contractor personnel shall have photo identification at all times while working on BIA facilities. Contractors shall provide the COR with 24 hours of advance notice of every delivery to the site (e.g., concrete, lumber, etc...) and provide the company name, delivery person, and phone number of the firm(s) making deliveries.
Otherwise access to the BIA facility may be denied. Employees may be required to submit to a background check and be United States citizens.
H.10 REAL ID ACT OF 2005
The Real ID Act of 2005 established minimum security standards for license issuance and production and prohibits Federal agencies from accepting for certain purposes driver's licenses and identification cards from states not meeting the Act's minimum standards. To this purpose there are five states that are not in compliance with the Act nor have they received an extension to come into compliance with the act. Those states are Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, New Mexico and Washington State. Anyone under this contract, to include subcontractors, who holds a driver's license from any of these states without approved licenses and require access to a BIA facility will be required to provide identification other than a driver's license to gain access. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to ensure that they are in accordance with the Real ID Act and any other requirements for BIA access. For the states of Washington and Minnesota an enhanced driver's license is acceptable to gain access. Other forms of identification that are acceptable for BIA facility access are included as an attachment to this modification.
Further information on the Real ID Act can be found here: http://www.dhs.gov/real-id-enforcement-brief#
H.11 TEMPORARY FACILITIES
(a) STORAGE: The location for exterior stock piling of materials shall be arranged by the COR and Project Manager. The Contractor shall be responsible for protecting materials stockpiled against weather, damage, theft, and other risks of loss. The BIA assumes no responsibility for material or equipment left in the storage area.
(b) SANITARY FACILITIES: Toilet facilities may be available for Contractor use. The Contractor shall ensure the facilities remain clean. Contractors may be required to provide toilet facilities at some sites.
(c) WATER AND ELECTRICITY: Water and 120V electricity may be available at no cost to the Contractor. Should water and electricity be available, the Contractor will bear connection costs. Cost of these utility connections and disconnections is the responsibility of the Contractor.
H.12 EXISTING UTILITIES
Utility locations when shown are approximate. The contractor shall field verify all utility locations before digging or trenching. This shall include but not be limited to the use of sonic, electronic, or magnetic detection devices, by noting pull box and utility box locations at the surface, and by potholing. Contractor shall be responsible for repairing any utilities damaged during construction at no additional cost to the Government.
H.13. BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION
No background investigation is required in connection with this contract.
