DOI-AAAP-0028 Electronic Invoicing and Payment Requirements-Invoice Processing Platform (IPP) (MAR 2023)

Payment requests must be submitted electronically through the U. S. Department of the Treasury's Invoice Processing Platform System (IPP).

'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 the applicable Prompt Payment clause included in the contract, or the clause 52.212-4 Contract Terms and Conditions - Commercial Items included in commercial item contracts. The IPP website address is: https://www.ipp.gov.

Concurrent to submitting an invoice in IPP, the contractor may submit any supporting documentation to bor-sha- Invoices@usbr.gov. Contractors are cautioned that supporting documentation e-mailed to the contracting officer and contract specialist must not conflict with the IPP submission. Conflicts between the IPP submission and supporting documentation may result in a delay in approval and/or rejection of submitted invoices.

When e-mailing supporting documentation, the subject line of the email shall be formatted as follows: Contract Number, Invoice Number, Contracting Officer's last name (e.g., 140R2018R00000_Invoice No. 1_Smith). The invoice shall be attached to the email and named using the following format: Contract Number, Contractor Name, Invoice Number, Invoice Amount (e.g., 140R2022R00000_World Test, Inc. - Inv. No. 1 - $5,678). Invoices shall not include information that would compromise Personally Identifiable Information, such as full social security numbers, dates of birth, etc. The final invoice shall be submitted and will be approved in accordance with payment terms and conditions contained in the contract, after all, if any, settlement actions are complete. The contractor must clearly identify the last payment as the ‘Final Invoice’.

The Contractor must use the IPP website to register access and use IPP for submitting requests for payment. The Contractor Government Business Point of Contact (as listed in SAM) will receive enrollment instructions via email from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRBSTL) within 3 - 5 business days of the contract award date. Contractor assistance with enrollment can be obtained by contacting the IPP Production Helpdesk via email IPPCustomerSupport@fiscal.treasury.gov or phone (866) 973-3131.

If the Contractor is unable to comply with the requirement to use IPP for submitting invoices for payment, the Contractor must submit a waiver request in writing to the Contracting Officer with its proposal or quotation.

(End of Local Clause)

1452.201-80 Contracting Officer's Representative's Authorities and Limitations -- Bureau of Reclamation. (MAY 2018)

(1) Inspecting and accepting or rejecting work performed under the contract.

(2) Representing the Government in technical phases of the work. The COR is responsible for the technical administration of the contract and will provide instructions and interpretations to the Contractor on all technical matters relating to the contract.

(3) Reviewing and, where required by the contract, approving submittals of technical data, shop drawings, samples, literature, plans, or other data required to be delivered by the Contractor to the Government.

(b) The Contractor will receive a copy of the written COR designation from the Contracting Officer. It will specify the extent of the COR's authority to act on behalf of the Contracting Officer.

(c) Technical direction must be within the scope of work stated in the contract. Only the Contracting Officer is authorized to determine if a change is within the scope of the contract; therefore, the COR does not have the authority to, and may not, issue any technical direction that -

(1) Constitutes a direction of additional work outside the Contract requirements;

(2) Constitutes a change as defined in the contract clause entitled "Changes;"

(3) In any manner causes an increase or decrease in the total contract cost, or the time required for contract performance;

(4) Changes any of the expressed terms, conditions or specifications of the contract; or

https://www.ipp.gov/ mailto:IPPCustomerSupport@fiscal.treasury.gov

(d) All technical direction shall be issued in writing by the COR.

(e) The Contractor must proceed promptly with the performance of technical direction duly issued by the COR in the manner prescribed by this clause and within its authority under the provisions of this clause. If, in the opinion of the Contractor, any instruction or direction by the COR falls within one of the categories defined in (c)(1) through (c)(5) of this clause, the Contractor must not proceed and must notify the Contracting Officer in writing within five (5) working days after receipt of any such instruction or direction and must request the Contracting Officer to modify the contract accordingly. Upon receiving the notification from the Contractor, the Contracting Officer must -

(1) Advise the Contractor in writing after receipt of the Contractor's letter that the technical direction is within the scope of the contract effort and does not constitute a change under the Changes clause of the contract; or

(2) Advise the Contractor that the Government will issue a written change order.

(f) A failure of the Contractor and Contracting Officer either to agree that the technical direction is within the scope of the contract or to agree upon the contract action to be taken with respect to the technical direction will be subject to the provisions of the clause entitled "Disputes."

(End of clause)

WBR 1452.223-81 Safety and Health -- Bureau of Reclamation (OCT 2022)

(c) Comply with the standards (29 CFR) issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), U.S.

Department of Labor, www.osha.gov.

(d) In the event there is a conflict between the requirements contained in paragraphs (b) and (c) referenced herein, or in the Statement of Work (SOW) or Performance Work Statement (PWS), the more stringent requirement shall prevail.

(e) If required in the SOW or PWS, the Contractor shall submit a written proposed safety program as prescribed in the RSHS and the written specifications.

(f) The Contractor shall maintain an accurate record of and shall report to the Contracting Officer (or authorized representative) in the manner prescribed by the Contracting Officer, all cases of death, occupational diseases, or traumatic injury to employees or the public involved, and property damage in accordance with the RSHS and OSHA guidelines.

(End of clause)

WBR 1452.237-80 Security Requirements -- Bureau of Reclamation. (MAR 2022)

(a) General Security Requirements:

(1) This clause addresses security requirements, including general procedural requirements, information security requirements, contractor employee suitability requirements, identification card requirements, site security requirements, vessel exclusion barriers, and information technology security requirements. Within this clause, COR means Contracting Officer's Representative. If there is no COR appointed and identified to the Contractor, the term instead will mean the Program Manager or any other authorized individual responsible for technical oversight under the contract. “Work site” means the Government facility, office, construction site, and any other area within the Government office or facility that the Contractor must access to accomplish work under this contract.

(2) The work performed under this contract shall only be accomplished by individuals (in the employment of the Contractor or any subcontractors) whose conduct and behavior is consistent with the efficiency of the Federal Service and the requirements of this contract, and who are acceptable to the contracting officer. If Reclamation finds a Contractor employee to be unsuitable or unfit for his or her assigned duties, the contracting officer will direct the Contractor to remove the individual from the contract and access to the Federal facility at which the contract activities are occurring.

(3) The Contractor’s employees governed by this contract may need access to sensitive information and/or sensitive areas. The Federal Government (Government) reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine suitability of Contractor personnel and deny access to any sensitive information or project specific area to any personnel for any cause.

(4) The Contractor is responsible for informing and ensuring compliance by its employees with any applicable security procedures of the Government facility where work may be performed under this contract.

http://www.usbr.gov/safety/rshs/index.html

(5) Any Contractor employee that will have access to a Federally-controlled facility or information system will be required to have a Government-issued identification card, consisting of a Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Card, a temporary identification card, or a visitor badge. (Note: within the Department of the Interior this card is known as a DOI Access Card.) During performance of the contract, the Contractor shall keep the COR apprised of any changes in personnel, or changes in personnel access or duration, to ensure that performance is not delayed by compliance with credentialing processes.

(6) A Contractor employee will not be provided access to a Government facility or information system until a Government PIV Card, temporary identification card, or visitor identification badge has been issued to the Contractor employee. For those individuals that will be receiving a PIV Card, the Government may, at its discretion, issue a temporary identification card or visitor identification badge after the electronic background investigation forms have been received and the investigation is initiated.

(7) All Contractor employees shall access the facility via the facility’s entry screening system and visibly display the Government-issued PIV Card, temporary identification card, or visitor identification badge at all times.

Contractor employees must visibly wear the Government-issued identification card at all times they are on Government facilities. Contractor employees are responsible for the safekeeping of all Government-issued identification cards, whether on-site or off-site. Cards that have been lost, damaged, or stolen must be reported to the COR and DOI Access Sponsor immediately, but not later than within 24 hours. The Contractor shall return all identification cards and card keys and any other Government property and information upon completion of performance or when personnel depart permanently or for a period of 7 days or more. The Contractor may be required to turn in access control cards or identification cards on a daily basis.

(8) Misuse or loss of access control or identification cards, or failure to comply with required surrender of such cards may, at Government discretion, result in Contractor personnel being denied access to the work site, at no cost to Government. The Contractor may be charged up to $500 for each occurrence for any required replacement of Government-issued access control or identification cards due to loss or misuse. At the end of contract performance, or when a Contractor employee is no longer working under this contract, the Contractor shall ensure that all access control and identification cards are returned to the COR.

(9) All Contractor personnel, including subcontractor personnel, with access to the work site shall be U.S.

citizens or foreign individuals legally residing in, or legally admitted to, the U.S. For all non-U.S. citizens working under this contract, irrespective of length of time working on the contract, the Contractor shall provide to the COR, legible and valid copies of the individual’s passport and visa (unless individual is on the Visa Waiver Program) a minimum of 14 calendar days prior to beginning work or arriving at the facility. A driver’s license is not acceptable identification. In addition, a completed form I-94 shall be submitted to the COR upon the individual’s arrival at the work facility and prior to beginning work.

(10) The Contractor shall report all contacts with entities, individuals, and counsel/representatives (including foreign entities and foreign nationals) who seek in any way to obtain unauthorized access to sensitive information or areas. The Contractor shall report any violations of contract provisions, laws, executive orders, regulations, and guidance to the contracting officer. The Contractor shall report any information raising a doubt as to whether an individual’s eligibility for continued employment or access to sensitive information is consistent with the interests of National Security and the Public Trust.

(11) Unsanctioned, negligent, or willful inappropriate action on the part of the Contractor (or its employees) may result in termination of the contract or removal of some Contractor employees from Reclamation facilities at no cost to the Government. These actions include, but are not limited to, exploration of a sensitive system and/or information, introduction of unauthorized and/or malicious software, inappropriate release of sensitive information, or failure to follow prescribed access control policies and/or security procedures. Failure to comply with Reclamation policies, procedures, or other published security requirements may result in termination of the contract or removal of some contracted employees from Reclamation buildings and/or facilities at no cost to the Government.

(12) All provisions of this clause shall equally apply to all subcontractors. The Contractor shall incorporate the substance of this clause in all subcontracts.

(13) These security requirements apply to all sections of this Contract including Contract Drawings and other Contract Specifications as applicable. Related documents include other general provisions of Construction or Operations and Maintenance type Contracts, including FAR clauses by reference or as amended by related documents.

(b) Information Security Requirements.

(1) Sensitive Information. The term “sensitive information” means any information which warrants a degree of protection and administrative control as defined by Reclamation or that meets the criteria for exemption from public disclosure set forth under Sections 552 and 552a of Title 5, United States Code: the Freedom of Information Act and the Privacy Act. Sensitive information is generally categorized as CONTROLLED UNCLASSIFIED INFORMATION (CUI), but in some cases may include other unclassified information. (The protection of National Security information is beyond the scope of this clause. If any work on National Security information is required under this contract, it is addressed under other contract clauses.) The Contractor shall protect this type of information from unauthorized release into public domain, or to unauthorized persons, organizations, or subcontractors. Information which, either alone or in aggregate, is deemed sensitive by Reclamation shall be handled and protected in accordance with Reclamation Directives and Standards SLE 02-01 Identifying and Safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), which is available from the COR or at http://www.usbr.gov/recman/DandS.html#sle.

(iv) The contractor shall not, while using unclassified Government computers or other devices (such as phones or tablets) access documents that are marked classified (including classified documents made publicly available by a third party), as doing so risks that material still classified will be placed onto unclassified systems. This requirement does not restrict contractor access to unclassified, publicly available news reports (and other unclassified material) that may in turn discuss classified material, as distinguished from access to underlying documents that themselves are marked classified (including if the underlying classified documents are available on public web sites or otherwise in the public domain).

(v) For contracts that require access to classified information, the contractor is responsible for obtaining the required national security clearance through the Department of the Defense National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM). Any classified contracts will be coordinated through the Reclamation Chief Security Officer, or for IT requirements, the Bureau Chief Information Security Officer. No contractor shall access classified information unless proper clearances have been obtained and transmitted to Reclamation. For further information, refer to 443 DM 1 or DOD NISPOM 5220.22-M dated February 28, 2006 (incorporating change 2 dated May 18, 2016).

(vi) Classified information shall not be removed from official premises.

(vii) Classified information shall not be disclosed without proper authorization.

1) BACKGROUND

a) The Snake River Area Office (SRAO) contracts with Idaho Power Corporation (IPC) to provide rating services for the streamflow measurements as needed to define low, medium, and high flows during irrigation and non-irrigations water seasons and to maintain accurate water records for the Lower Payette River System in the Boise

Project in Idaho. These waters are managed out of the Snake River Area, Middle

Snake Field Office, who maintains oversight for transferred and reserved works throughout the Snake River Basin that includes five (5) Dams and reservoirs in the

Boise Project Area.

b) This contract is for the required hydrologic services to meet the Bureau of

Reclamation’s (Reclamation) mission objectives. The required hydrological technical services are needed to develop rating tables for various stream gages in the Lower

Payette River Basin. Technician services will also be needed to service the electronic stream gaging equipment throughout the Lower Payette River.

c) The operational operations for the Water Operations of the Payette River Basin relies heavily upon past and present activities that define the hydrological baseline for the proposed water operations under consideration. With little or no accounting or understanding of the hydrological water flows that are occurring in the basin, these streamgaging services are required to understand and react to changes in its distribution and use patterns. This information affects Reclamation’s accuracy and efficiency in irrigation water deliveries and flood control operations. SRAO wishes to share the cost of streamgaging maintenances and services on the gauge on Payette

River between Horseshoe Bend Hydro-electric Project and Black Canyon Dam, near

Montour, Idaho, through sole source contracting. Streamgaging services are required by Reclamation to operate dams and reservoirs to fulfill authorized purposes and to implement space holder contracts.

Reclamation’s electronic streamgaging equipment on Payette River near Montour, Idaho.

b) This contract is to provide for further identification and optimization of water resources management associated with water delivered to the Water District #65 of the Boise

Project.

c) The drainage above the Payette River gage near Montour, ID consists of the comingled waters from above the Black Canyon Dam, including two (2) Reclamation Reservoirs, Sage Hen Reservoir, the tributaries below those reservoirs, and the Horseshoe Bend

Hydroelectric power plant that provide inflows into the Payette River Basin.

d) The Payette river gage near Montour, ID is authorized by the water users to assist water managers in maintaining and stabilizing water deliveries below the Black Canyon Dam.

This equipment will be Reclamation owned and installed by Reclamation’s Hydromet

Staff for the PRNO in Boise, Idaho. The information will be transmitted and stored on the Reclamation’s Hydromet System.

e) The communities of Ola, Sweet, Montour, Emmett, Letha, New Plymouth, and Payette border the banks of the Payette River, which is most densely populated and intensely cultivated area in the Payette River Basin. This contract includes Furter establishment of measurement sites and acquisition of hydrological data for the Payette River, including commingling and distribution of trans basin diversions from the Payette River Basin.

Such monitoring would include all project water resources entering and hydrological contributions within the Payette River Basin. Along with the existing Hydromet sites, new sites require the establishment of rating curves and shifts in those curves monitored.
