C-1. PART 1: GENERAL STATEMENT OF WORK

C.1.1 - INTRODUCTION

The Navy Cable Ship T-ARC(X) Program is a replacement for the Navy’s only undersea cable installation and repair ship, USNS ZEUS (T-ARC 7). This ship’s primary mission is to transport, install, retrieve, and repair undersea cables and equipment, with additional missions of conducting acoustic, hydrographic and bathymetric surveys, towing projectors, and deploying and recovering UUVs and packages through the moonpool.

In accordance with the T-ARC(X) System Specification, Attachment J-1, the statement of work, the terms and conditions of the contract, and the other documents listed in Section J, the Contractor shall perform Industry Studies for the T-ARC(X) Cable Ship to perform capability and cost trade studies in key areas, investigate options to maximize affordability and producibility, and develop concept designs. Objectives are (1) to identify cost effective design solutions by leveraging commercial designs and shipbuilder experience and standards; and (2) inform System Specification and its development.

The Contractor shall select an existing design or develop a new design to use as a baseline, as described in Section C.3.4.1, to represent a ship meeting the requirements of the T-ARC(X) System Specification, Attachment J-1.

While the stated goal of the industry studies is to identify cost effective design solutions, the Contractor will make every effort to identify other areas of production, documentation, and testing to reduce the acquisition cost of the vessels. For the purpose of this effort, the Contractor is to assume a maximum T-ARC(X) construction cost (fiscal year 2023) of $340M, excluding non-recurring engineering and profit. This assumption is for guidance only, and is in no way an indication, assurance, or guarantee of current or future availability or amount of funding, if any.

The Contractor shall place emphasis on the use of commercially available, non-developmental and proven technologies. Component commonality with other Military Sealift Command ships is desirable.

Due to the nature of the scope of work for this effort, the Government requires that the successful Contractor have the demonstrated capability and facilities to construct the TARC vessels; therefore, the resultant contract for this solicitation will only be awarded to teams with a member that has production facilities capable of constructing a T-ARC(X).

The Contractor shall provide, and the Government will retain, rights in technical data developed under this contract per DFARS 252.227-2003. As such, future solicitations may contain some or all of the recommendations and conclusions made based on analyses and studies produced by the Contractor under this contract. Business sensitive data such as financial reporting and shipyard capability information may be marked as “proprietary”, where such proprietary marking is justified by the Contractor and approved by the Government. Any proprietary or sensitive business data provided by the Contractor via a deliverable must be marked appropriately and will not be shared with other industry participants. All commercial and non-commercial data delivered must be marked with the technical data rights appropriately asserted by the Contractor. Assertions must be made in accordance with DFAR 52.227- 7013 and 52.227-7017.

The metric system of measurement (International System of Units (SI)) shall be used for technical efforts and related documents, except where necessary to interface with existing English unit equipment or systems. Where existing technical documents are in English units for equipment or systems, conversion of the documentation to metric system need not be performed.

The Contractor’s obligation to perform this contract is in no way conditioned upon the Government providing any facilities, material, property, equipment, services, or information, except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein.

The Contractor shall prepare and deliver the data items required by the Data Requirements List (DRL), Attachment J-2. Note: Deliverables are listed in italics in the SOW.

C-204-H001 USE OF NAVY SUPPORT CONTRACTORS FOR OFFICIAL CONTRACT FILES (NAVSEA)

(OCT 2018)

(a) NAVSEA may use a file room management support contractor, hereinafter referred to as "the support contractor", to manage its file room, in which all official contract files, including the official file supporting this procurement, are retained. These official files may contain information that is considered a trade secret, proprietary, business sensitive or otherwise protected pursuant to law or regulation, hereinafter referred to as “protected information”. File room management services consist of any of the following: secretarial or clerical support; data entry; document reproduction, scanning, imaging, or destruction; operation, management, or maintenance of paper-based or electronic mail rooms, file rooms, or libraries; and supervision in connection with functions listed herein.

(b) The cognizant Contracting Officer will ensure that any NAVSEA contract under which these file room management services are acquired will contain a requirement that:

(1) The support contractor not disclose any information;

(2) Individual employees are to be instructed by the support contractor regarding the sensitivity of the official contract files;

(3) The support contractor performing these services be barred from providing any other supplies and/or services, or competing to do so, to NAVSEA for the period of performance of its contract and for an additional three years thereafter unless otherwise provided by law or regulation; and,

(4) In addition to any other rights the contractor may have, it is a third party beneficiary who has the right of direct action against the support contractor, or any person to whom the support contractor has released or disclosed protected information, for the unauthorized duplication, release, or disclosure of such protected information.

(c) Execution of this contract by the contractor is considered consent to NAVSEA's permitting access to any information, irrespective of restrictive markings or the nature of the information submitted, by its file room management support contractor for the limited purpose of executing its file room support contract responsibilities.

(d) NAVSEA may, without further notice, enter into contracts with other contractors for these services. Contractors should enter into separate non-disclosure agreements with the file room contractor. Contact the Procuring Contracting Officer for contractor specifics. However, any such agreement will not be considered a prerequisite before information submitted is stored in the file room or otherwise encumber the government.

C-211-H018 APPROVAL BY THE GOVERNMENT (NAVSEA) (JAN 2019)

Approval by the Government as required under this contract and applicable specifications shall not relieve the Contractor of its obligation to comply with the specifications and with all other requirements of the contract, nor shall it impose upon the Government any liability it would not have had in the absence of such approval.

C-215-H002 CONTRACTOR PROPOSAL (NAVSEA) (OCT 2018)

(a) Performance of this contract by the Contractor shall be conducted and performed in accordance with the detailed obligations to which the Contractor committed itself in Proposal Contractor to Fill In dated Contractor to Fill In in response to Solicitation No. N00024-20-R-2211

(b) The technical volume(s) of the Contractor's proposal is(are) hereby incorporated by reference and made subject to the "Order of Precedence" (FAR 52.215-8) clause of this contract. Under the "Order of Precedence" clause, the technical volume(s) of the Contractor's proposal referenced herein is (are) hereby designated as item (f) of the clause, following "the specifications" in the order of precedence.

C-217-H001 PROVISIONED ITEMS ORDERS--BASIC (NAVSEA) (OCT 2018)

(a) General. The Contractor agrees that it will furnish the supplies or services ordered by the Government in accordance with the procedures specified herein. Orders will be placed by the Contracting Officer, Provisioning Activity or Administrative Contracting Officer as unilateral or bilateral modifications to this contract on SF 30, Amendment of Solicitation/Modification of Contract. Any amounts shown in Section B at time of award of the initial contract for each provisioned line item are estimated amounts only and are subject to upward or downward adjustment by the issuing activity. If no amounts are shown, funding will be obligated before or at time of order issuance. It is understood and agreed that the Government has no obligation under this contract to issue any orders hereunder.

(b) Priced Orders. For each proposed order, the Contractor agrees that it will submit such cost or pricing data as the Contracting Officer may require. Promptly thereafter, the Contractor and the Contracting Officer shall negotiate the price and delivery schedule for the proposed order. Upon execution and receipt of the priced order, the Contractor shall promptly commence the work specified in the order.

(c) Undefinitized Orders. Whenever the Contracting Officer determines that urgent demands or requirements prevent the issuance of a priced order, he/she may issue an unpriced order. Such order may be unilateral or bilateral and shall establish a limitation of Government liability, a maximum ceiling amount, and a schedule for definitization, as described in subparagraph (e)(2) below. Upon request the Contractor shall submit a maximum ceiling amount proposal before the undefinitized order is issued. The maximum ceiling amount is the maximum price at which the order may be definitized. The Contractor shall begin performing the undefinitized order upon receipt, except as provided in paragraph (d) below. The clause entitled "Contract Definitization" (DFARS 252.217- 7027) shall be included in any undefinitized order.

(d) Rejection of Unilateral Orders. The Contractor may reject any unilateral order if the Contractor determines that it cannot feasibly perform the order, or if the Contractor does not concur with the maximum ceiling amount.

However, each unilateral order shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Contractor unless within fifteen days of issuance of the order, the Contractor notifies the Contracting Officer in writing of its rejection of the order.

(e) Definitization of Undefinitized Orders. (1) The Contractor agrees that following the issuance of an undefinitized order, it will promptly begin negotiating with the Contracting Officer the price and terms of a definitive order that will include: (A) all clauses required by regulation on the date of the order; (B) all clauses required by law on the date of execution of the definitive order; and, (C) any other mutually agreeable clauses, terms and conditions. No later than sixty (60) days after the undefinitized order is issued, the Contractor agrees to submit a cost proposal with sufficient data to support the accuracy and derivation of its price; and, when required by FAR, cost or pricing data. If additional cost information is available prior to the conclusion of negotiations, the Contractor shall provide that information to the Contracting Officer. The price agreed upon shall be set forth in a bilateral modification to the order. In no event shall the price exceed the maximum ceiling amount specified in the undefinitized order.

(2) Each undefinitized order shall contain a schedule for definitization which shall include a target date for definitization and dates for submission of a qualifying proposal, beginning of negotiations and, if appropriate, submission of make-or-buy and subcontracting plans and cost or pricing data. Submission of a qualifying proposal in accordance with the definitization schedule is a material element of the order. The schedule shall provide for definitization of the order by the earlier of:

(i) a specified target date which is not more than 180 days after the issuance of the undefinitized order.

However, that target date may be extended by the Contracting Officer for up to 180 days after the Contractor submits a qualifying proposal as defined in DFARS 217.7401; or

(ii) the date on which the amount of funds expended by the Contractor under the undefinitized order exceed fifty percent (50%) of the order's maximum ceiling amount, except as provided in subparagraph (f)(3) below.

(3) If agreement on a definitive order is not reached within the time provided pursuant to subparagraph (e)(2) above, the Contracting Officer may, with the approval of the Head of the Contracting Activity, determine a reasonable price in accordance with Subpart 15.4 and Part 31 of the FAR, and issue a unilateral order subject to Contractor appeal as provided in the "Disputes" clause (FAR 52.233-1). In any event, the Contractor shall proceed with completion of the order, subject to the "Limitation of Government Liability" clause (FAR 52.216-24).

(f) Limitation of Government Liability. (1) Each undefinitized order shall set forth the limitation of Government liability, which shall be the maximum amount that the Government will be obligated to pay the Contractor for performance of the order until the order is definitized. The Contractor is not authorized to make expenditures or incur obligations exceeding the limitation of Government liability set forth in the order. If such expenditures are made, or if such obligations are incurred, they will be at the Contractor's sole risk and expense. Further, the limitation of Government liability shall be the maximum Government liability if the order is terminated. The "Limitation of Government Liability" clause shall be included in any undefinitized order.

(2) Except for undefinitized orders for Foreign Military Sales; purchases of less than $25,000; special access programs; and Congressionally-mandated long-lead procurements; and except as otherwise provided in subparagraph (f)(3) below, the limitation of Government liability shall not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the ceiling amount of an undefinitized order. In the case of orders within these excepted categories, however, the procedures set forth herein shall be followed to the maximum extent practical.

(3) If the Contractor submits a qualifying proposal (as defined in DFARS 217.7401) to definitize an order before the Government has obligated fifty percent (50%) of the ceiling amount, the Contracting Officer may increase the limitation of Government liability to up to seventy-five percent (75%) of the maximum ceiling amount or up to seventy-five percent (75%) of the price proposed by the Contractor, whichever is less.

(4) If at any time the Contractor believes that its expenditure under an undefinitized order will exceed the limitation of Government liability, the Contractor shall so notify the Contracting Officer, in writing, and propose an appropriate increase in the limitation of Government liability of such order. Within thirty (30) days of such notice, the Contracting Officer will either (i) notify the Contractor in writing of such appropriate increase, or (ii) instruct the Contractor how and to what extent the work shall be continued; provided, however, that in no event shall the Contractor be obligated to proceed with work on an undefinitized order beyond the point where its costs incurred plus a reasonable profit thereon exceed the limitation of Government liability, and provided also that in no event shall the Government be obligated to pay the Contractor any amount in excess of the limitation of Government liability specified in any such order prior to establishment of firm prices.

(g) Initial Spares. The limitations set forth in paragraph (c) and subparagraphs (e)(2), (f)(2) and (f)(3) do not apply to undefinitized orders for the purchase of initial spares.

(h) Terminal Date for Placement of Orders. The Contractor shall not be obligated to accept any orders placed hereunder beyond 180 days after delivery of the last end item.

(i) Segregation of Costs. The Contractor shall segregate the costs of performance of each undefinitized order from the cost of any other work performed by the Contractor.

C-242-H001 EXPEDITING CONTRACT CLOSEOUT (NAVSEA) (OCT 2018)

(a) As part of the negotiated fixed price or total estimated amount of this contract, both the Government and the Contractor have agreed to waive any entitlement that otherwise might accrue to either party in any residual dollar amount of $1,000 or less at the time of final contract closeout. The term "residual dollar amount" shall include all money that would otherwise be owed to either party at the end of the contract, except that, amounts connected in any way with taxation, allegations of fraud and/or antitrust violations shall be excluded. For purposes of determining residual dollar amounts, offsets of money owed by one party against money that would otherwise be paid by that party may be considered to the extent permitted by law.

(b) This agreement to waive entitlement to residual dollar amounts has been considered by both parties. It is agreed that the administrative costs for either party associated with collecting such small dollar amounts could exceed the amount to be recovered.

C-243-H001 CONTRACTOR PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION REPORTS (NAVSEA) (OCT 2018)

(a) Contract Problem Identification Reports (CPIRs) shall be used by the Contractor for the purpose of alerting the Government to actual or potential contract problems and of establishing an early dialogue between the Contractor and the Government with regard thereto.

(b) A "contract problem" is a fact or circumstance of which the Contractor is aware that does, will or reasonably is anticipated to (1) have a significant or substantial impact on the delivery schedule or completion of contract performance or the cost of performance of the contract (increase or decrease) or (2) requires modification to the contract or specification(s). The terms "significant" and "substantial" shall be interpreted in the same manner as they would be interpreted by a reasonably prudent business person under the relevant circumstances.

(c) The Contractor shall report each contract problem promptly and in no event later than ten (10) calendar days, after the Contractor identifies such contract problem. A written CPIR shall be transmitted via the Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO) to the Procuring Contracting Officer and to the cognizant NAVSEA Program Office. Each CPIR shall be entitled "Contract Problem Identification Report", shall be dated, numbered sequentially and shall set forth the following based on the best and most complete information then known or available to the Contractor:

(1) The nature of the contract problem;

(2) The date on which the contract problem arose and the date on which the contract problem was identified as such;

(3) The anticipated direct and consequential effects of the contract problem upon the delivery schedule or completion of contract performance or the cost of performance of the contract;

(4) Identification of the supplies and/or services which are or may be affected; and

(5) The Contractor's recommended solution to the reported contract problem.

(d) Follow-up status reports of each contract problem, identified by the original CPIR number, shall be furnished monthly or more frequently as required by the Contracting Officer. A final follow-up report shall be furnished immediately following resolution of each contract problem.

(e) CPIRs shall not be submitted when notice of the same contract problem is required to be furnished to the Government pursuant to any other requirement of this contract. The submission of a CPIR, however, does not relieve the Contractor of its obligations to provide notice required under any other requirement of this contract.

C-243-H002 NOTIFICATION OF CHANGES (NAVSEA) (MAY 2019)

(a) Definitions. As used in this requirement, the term "Contracting Officer" does not include any representative of the Contracting Officer whether or not such representative is acting within the scope of his authority nor does it include any other individuals or activities that in any way communicate with the Contractor.
