The COR will act as a liaison between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service herein referred to as "Service" and the Contractor, and, when necessary, will provide technical direction to the Contractor. The COR, however, is not authorized to change any of the terms and conditions of the contract, issue new assignments of work, make decisions concerning disputes arising under the contract, or resolve differing site condition matters. Neither the presence nor absence of a government representative shall relieve the Contractor of its responsibilities under the contract.

3. TECHNICAL DIRECTION

The performance of the work required herein shall be subject to the technical direction and surveillance of the COR.

As used herein, “technical direction” is direction to the Contractor which requires pursuit of certain lines of inquiry, filling in details or otherwise serving to accomplish the contract specifications. The technical direction, to be valid:

Solicitation 140F0420Q0213 Page 5 of 10

(c) Shall not constitute a basis for extension of the contract delivery schedule. Nothing contained in this part authorizes the Contractor to incur costs in excess of the contract price or other limitation of funds set forth in the contract due to extra work performed in response to informal directions, suggestions, or instructions (oral or written) given by representatives of the CO, unless prior to commencing such work, the Contractor: (1) directly notifies the CO; (2) requests a formal contract modification; and (3) receives written authorization to proceed from the CO.

4. JOB SITE ADMINISTRATION

The Government will designate a CR or SR who will be available at the site to inspect the work as it progresses.

The CR or SR will prepare an Inspector's Daily Log, beginning with the first day of the contract, detailing ground and weather conditions, work being performed, materials delivered, and notes of any problems or difficulties.

Government inspections do not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for providing adequate quality control measures. At the end of every day of work on this contract, the Contractor's Superintendent, as defined below, shall contact the CR or SR, review the daily log, and sign as the Contractor's representative. Unless the Contractor's Superintendent makes notations to the contrary on the daily log, the log shall be presumed to be accurate. The CR or SR is not authorized to make technical decisions or give technical directions; the Contractor or the Contractor's Superintendent must contact the COR regarding such decisions and directions. The Contractor shall have a competent superintendent (hereinafter referred to as the "Contractor's Superintendent") who is (i) deemed acceptable to the Government; (ii) authorized to act on the Contractor's behalf; and (iii) be present on the job site at all times when contract work is being performed.

The Contractor must use IPP for contracts and orders awarded May 1 and later, and must use the non-IPP invoicing process for those contracts and orders awarded prior to May 1.

“Payment request” means any request for contract financing payment or invoice payment by the Contractor. To constitute a proper invoice, the payment request must comply with the requirements identified in FAR 33.905(b), “Payment documentation and process” and the applicable Prompt Payment clause included in this contract. The IPP website address is: https://www.ipp.gov.
