(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.

(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.

(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.

(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

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 states without approved licenses and require access to a military 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 base 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 military facility access are included as an attachment to this modification.
