The following MARAD clauses apply to this requirement:

MCL.E.-1 Delegation of Inspection and Acceptance (Aug 2005) The Contracting Officer's Technical Representative shall be delegated the responsibility and authority to conduct inspection and acceptance duties for this contract.

MCL.H-2 Supplemental Work Requests (Subparagraph (d)(10) is $10,000.00) (Aug 2005)

(a) In the complex world of ship repairs, supplemental work often emerges as a result of test, inspection, or discovery of unknown or otherwise differing conditions. The extent and nature of such supplemental work can neither be identified in bid or proposal specifications, and both parties recognize the possibility that such work may arise.

Notwithstanding the possibility of the identification of such work, MARAD does not guarantee the award of any supplemental work during contract performance.

(b) Although MARAD shall be under no obligation to award supplemental work during contract performance, MARAD has provided an estimate for labor (in labor hours) and material (in dollars) for such work in the Schedule (Section B of the solicitation under applicable supplemental work contract line item numbers (CLIN or CLINs)). The offeror shall specify an hourly composite billing rate in its bid or proposal for supplemental work labor. The composite labor-billing rate shall be the rate applicable to labor for all supplemental work that MARAD orders under the applicable supplemental CLIN of the resulting contract. Any supplies or subcontracts required to complete supplemental work will be charged as a direct cost reimbursable under the applicable supplemental work CLIN; additional indirect charges for materials and subcontracts will not be allowed.

(c) During the performance of the contract, when conditions indicate a need for supplemental work, the Contracting Officer's Technical Representative (COTR1) is empowered to provide technical direction, negotiate the amount of labor and material, 1 Please note, these clauses use the term “COTR” (Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative) instead of “COR” (Contracting Officer’s Representative). However, the terms are interchangeable.

and authorize the contractor to perform supplemental work through the issuance of a written authorization. The COTR will issue authorizations for supplemental work in accordance with the following:

(1) When conditions make supplemental work appropriate, the COTR shall submit to the contractor a supplemental work request that identifies the work to be accomplished.

(2) The Contractor shall promptly review each supplemental work request upon receipt and shall, within seventy-two (72) hours of issuance, or sooner, as specified by the COTR, provide the COTR with a proposed price for the supplemental work. Price proposals for all supplemental work must be broken down by labor hours, materials, and subcontracts and allocated to the applicable supplemental work CLIN as appropriate. The contractor shall price the supplemental work to be performed in accordance with the composite labor rate bid or proposed under the supplemental work CLIN in the contract. If necessary, the Contractor shall submit prices for subcontractors, which will be negotiated and treated as direct materials. Once the COTR and contractor agree on the technical direction and price to accomplish the supplemental work, the contractor and COTR shall sign the authorization for supplemental work, which shall be final and binding on the contractor and MARAD.

Subject to paragraphs (c.)(3.) through (c.)(6.), if urgent circumstances do not permit waiting for a written authorization, the parties may orally agree and follow up with written confirmation.

(3) Notwithstanding the preceding, the COTR shall not authorize and the contractor shall not accept individual supplemental work authorizations from the COTR in excess of the price ceiling established by the Contracting Officer pursuant to paragraph (d.)(10.). In addition, the COTR shall not authorize and the contractor shall not accept a supplemental work authorization from the COTR that, when combined with all previously authorized supplemental work under the contract, exceeds the amount of labor hours and materials specified in the applicable supplemental work CLINs.

(4) If the contractor requests an adjustment to the contract completion date in its proposal for the supplemental work, the COTR must refer the issue to the Contracting Officer for resolution, which could include modifying the performance period of the contract. All supplemental work must be accomplished within the contract performance period. The COTR shall not authorize and the contractor shall not accept supplemental work authorizations from the COTR that cannot be completed within the contract performance period.

(5) If the COTR and contractor cannot agree upon the price, the time required, or any other term of a supplemental work request, the matter shall be referred to the Contracting Officer who may resolve the issue in accordance with the procedures contained in the Changes clause incorporated in the contract. Specifically, the Contracting Officer shall have the option of (i) directing that the Contractor perform the work at a price and within a time period determined by the Contracting Officer to be reasonable, or (ii) withdrawing said supplemental work request. The Contractor's refusal to perform the work as directed by the Contracting Officer shall constitute an event of default under the default clauses of the contract. Disputed issues resulting from supplemental work unilaterally directed by the Contracting Officer may be handled under the disputes clause of the contract.

(6) If the Contracting Officer directs the Contractor to perform the work at a price and within a time period determined by the Contracting Officer to be reasonable, the Contractor shall maintain and submit to MARAD on a daily basis, report sheets itemizing materials used, the costs and man hours of all labor (direct, indirect, and impact), production schedule activities affected by and/or related thereto, and charges for equipment, whether furnished by the Contractor, subcontractors or others.

Material charges shall be substantiated by valid copies of materials and/or suppliers invoices. Such invoices shall be submitted with the daily report sheets or, if not available, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. Said daily reports shall also include an indication as to which specific schedule activity(ies) are affected by the order which are the subject of the daily report sheets. To the extent the contractor fails or refuses to submit the aforementioned daily report sheets on a daily basis, such failure or refusal shall constitute a basis for the Contracting Officer to suspend payment for work completed under the supplemental work until appropriate documentation required by the contract is provided.

(d) The following rules apply to supplemental work authorizations:

(1) The COTR shall authorize supplemental-work only during the period of performance of the contract.

(2) All authorizations for supplemental work are subject to the terms and conditions of the contract and must be within the scope of the contract.

(3) If mailed, an authorization is considered "issued" when MARAD deposits the order in the mail. Authorizations may also be issued orally, or by written communications, that is hand-delivered or sent by facsimile or electronic transmission. Oral orders must be followed up by written confirmation as soon as practicable thereafter.

(4) Unless otherwise explicitly noted in the authorization for supplemental work, all authorizations for supplemental work are firm fixed price. The agreed upon price shall cover all costs including, but not limited to, direct and indirect labor and material, overhead, delay, acceleration, and disruption caused by the supplemental work. Where the parties are unable to agree that an order establishes mutually agreeable terms, the parties shall note the specific differences that are not agreed upon in the text of the proposed work authorization and refer the matter to the Contracting Officer for resolution pursuant to paragraph (c.)(5.).

(5) Unless the contractor otherwise explicitly notes in the supplemental work authorization, in consideration of the price of the order, the Contractor remises, releases, and forever discharges MARAD, its officers, agents, employees, and sureties from any and all civil claims and requests for equitable adjustment whatsoever, relating to, arising out of, or connected with said supplemental work authorization. Such release is full and final settlement of all claims and requests for equitable adjustment relating to, arising out of, or connected with the work authorization, as modified, including, but not limited to, all impact claims such as delay, acceleration, disruption, and cumulative effects of the instant and all previously issued supplemental work authorizations. The executed work authorization constitutes a complete and final adjustment of the price and the delivery schedule.

(6) When MARAD requires supplies or services covered by the contract in an amount less than the total value of the contract, MARAD is not obligated to award supplemental work for the balance of the price bid or proposed for supplemental work. The Contractor is not obligated to honor additional supplemental work in excess of the estimated labor hours identified in the Schedule. This subparagraph does not affect or change the Contracting Officer's authority under the changes clause of the contract.

(7) Except for limitations of labor hours estimated in the Schedule, there is no limit to the number of supplemental work authorizations that may be issued. MARAD may issue supplemental work authorizations requiring delivery or performance in multiple locations, if the contract contemplates multiple locations.

(8) In the event a supplemental work authorization covers a series of related procedures, the Contracting Officer may request the Contractor to furnish separate prices for each item of the work.

(9) If not otherwise provided, the Contracting Officer may request at any time during performance of supplemental work a list of subcontractors performing work covered by the supplemental work, the dollar value of the respective subcontracts, and a description of the subcontracted work and the contractor shall promptly provide the requested information.

(10)The COTR shall not issue and the contractor shall not accept supplemental work authorizations from the COTR that exceeds $10,000.

MCL.H-3 Indemnity and Insurance (Aug 2005) The Contractor shall indemnify and save and keep harmless the Government against any or all loss, cost, damage, claim, expense or liability whatsoever because of accident or injury to persons or property of others occurring in connection with the operations under this contract.
