Definitions.

E.2.1. “Substantial Completion” means the stage in the progress of the work as determined and certified by the Contracting Officer or Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) in writing to the Contractor, on which the work or a portion thereof designated by the Government is sufficiently complete and satisfactory, in accordance with the requirements of the contract documents, that it may be occupied or utilized for the purpose for which it is intended, and only minor items such as touch-up, adjustments, and minor replacements or installations remain to be completed or corrected which (1) do not interfere with the intended occupancy or utilization of the work and (2) can be completed or corrected within the time period required for final completion.

E.2.2 “Date of Substantial Completion” means the date determined by the Contracting Officer or Contracting Officer’s Representative of which substantial completion of the work has been achieved. This date shall be contingent on the Contractor completing certain general construction work.

Substantial Completion is further dependent upon the Contractor providing all essential training on operations and maintenance, as required, to the designated Center personnel.

Unless indicated otherwise, the Date of Substantial Completion, as acknowledged by the Government, is also the commencement date of all warranties and guarantees required by the contract documents.

When the Contractor feels that the work is substantially complete, it shall notify the Contracting Officer and the Contracting Officer’s Representative requesting a substantial completion walk thru inspection.

Attached to the request must be a list of items to be corrected/completed (punch list). An inspection of the work shall be conducted by the Department of Labor (DOL) or its designated representative to review the punch list and verify its accuracy; should the Contractor’s punch list prove to be inaccurate or incomplete, Contractor shall provide revised punch list. At the time of the inspection, the Contractor shall be required to submit to DOL or its designated representative all inspection reports, test results, operation and maintenance manuals, keys and keying schedules for the substantially complete work. This information will then be turned over to the Center Operator.

Upon the successful completion of the inspection, the Contracting Officer shall provide Certification of Substantial Completion.

Not until the date and Certificate of Substantial Completion have been fully acknowledged, by the Department of Labor’s Contracting Officer and Contracting Officer’s Representative, will the Contractor be relieved of the responsibility for the security and maintenance of the work, except for punch list items. Following acknowledgment by the Department of Labor, the Contractor shall provide any required additional training to designated Center Personnel, and shall also complete the punch list items in accordance with the Schedule identified in the Certificate of Substantial Completion. Failure to complete the punch list items within the schedule may be a breach of contract and will be subject to the sanction of the contract.

E.3.1 Right to use. The Government may take over and operate, with Government employees, such equipment as necessary for heating or cooling such areas of the building that require the service, and other equipment such as elevators, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems, as soon as the installation is sufficiently complete to permit operation.

E.3.2 Notice. The Government will advise the Contractor in writing (FAR 52.236-11 entitled Use and Possession Prior to Completion), prior to the use of the equipment, which items of equipment will be taken over and operated, in addition to the date and time such operation shall begin.

E.3.3 Effect on warranties. Government operation of equipment will not relieve the Contractor of warranty or correction obligations elsewhere provided for in this contract. The applicable warranty period, elsewhere provided for in this contract, for each piece of equipment shall be in accordance with the applicable provisions of this contract.

The schedule narrative shall at a minimum clarify the Contractor’s approach and sequencing of work (overall project plan), include milestone dates, the methodology for incorporation of delays including but not limited to potential conflicts with outside agencies, projects, or contractors, permits and utility coordination, procurement or fabrication problems/concerns, labor resource problems/concerns, and shall identify any unusual logic relationships and use of relationship lags, and scheduling assumptions. The Contractor shall revise such schedules (1) to account for the actual progress of the work, (2) to reflect approved adjustments in the contract time, and (3) as required by the COR to achieve coordination with work by the Government and separate contractors. If the Contractor fails to submit schedule or schedule revision within the time prescribed, the CO may withhold approval of progress payments until the Contractor submits the required schedule or schedule revision.

Acceptance of schedule. When the Government has accepted any time schedule, it shall be binding upon the Contractor. The contract time is fixed by the contract, and may be extended only by a written contract modification, change order or supplemental agreement signed by the Contracting Officer. Acceptance of a schedule or revision thereof by the Government shall not

(1) be effective to extend the contract time or obligate the Government to do so, (2) constitute acceptance of delay, nor (3) excuse the Contractor from or relieve the Contractor of its obligation to maintain the progress of the work and achieve final completion within the contract time.

Recording progress. The Contractor shall record the actual progress of the work against the approved baseline schedule in the form and at intervals as may be required by the COR.

Notice of delay. In the event the Contractor receives a notice of change in the work, or if other conditions arise, which are likely to cause or are actually causing delays, which the Contractor believes may result in completion of the project after the contract time, the Contractor shall notify the CO, CS and COR of the effect, if any, of such change or other conditions upon the accepted schedule, and shall state in what respects, if any, the relevant schedule or the contract time should be revised. Such notice shall be given promptly, and not more than 10 calendar days following the first occurrence of event giving rise to the delay or prospective delay. Revisions to the accepted progress schedule shall only be made with the approval of the

COR.

Maintenance of progress. If the Contractor falls behind an accepted schedule, the Contractor shall take steps necessary to improve its progress or overcome delays and ensure completion of the work within the contract time, without additional cost to the Government. In this circumstance, the Contractor shall demonstrate how the approved rate of progress will be regained and shall submit for acceptance a supplementary recovery schedule or schedules.

Methods may include: increase of any or all of the number of shifts, overtime operations, days of work, and the amount of construction planned.

Schedule revision and equitable adjustments. Upon the request of the Contractor, the Contracting Officer shall ascertain the facts and the extent of any failure to adhere to the performance schedule resulting from alleged excusable delay. If the Contracting Officer determines that any failure to perform results from one or more of the causes for an excusable delay, the relevant schedules shall be revised, subject to the rights of the Government under the termination clause of this contract. If and to the extent considered appropriate in the judgment of the Contracting Officer, an equitable adjustment shall be made in the contract time.

F.8 SUSPENSION OF WORK- NONCOMPLIANCE WITH CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

In the event the Contractor is in non-compliance with a requirement of this contract or any of its subsequent Task Orders and fails to promptly initiate such action as may be appropriate to comply with the specified requirement, the Contracting Officer shall have the right to order the Contractor to suspend any or all work under the contract until the Contractor has complied or has initiated such action as may be appropriate to comply with the contract requirement.
