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.G-2 Schedules and Schedule Updates for Ship Repair (Aug 2005)

(a) The Contractor shall, within a period of time determined by the Contracting Officer, prepare and submit to the Contracting Officer, with a copy to the COTR, for approval, an electronic copy or other format as directed by the Contracting Officer, a practicable, detailed schedule using appropriate project management software and technology, showing the order in which the Contractor proposes to perform the work, and the dates on which the Contractor contemplates starting and completing the several salient features of the work (including acquiring materials and equipment). Format of the schedule and supporting information shall be in the electronic form and format directed by the Contracting Officer. The schedule shall include a summary in the form of a progress chart of suitable scale to indicate appropriately the percentage of work scheduled for completion by any given date during the period. If the Contractor fails to submit a complete schedule package within the time prescribed, the Contracting Officer may withhold notice to proceed until the Contractor submits the required schedule.

(b) Periodically, with each invoice submitted, or at other intervals as directed by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall update the schedule showing the actual progress and estimated times and resources at completion compared with initial project elements.

Failure to submit updated schedules with the invoice shall be grounds for the Contracting Officer's rejection of the entire invoice. The revised progress schedule information shall be delivered to the Contracting Officer in the format and at the times directed by the Contracting Officer. If, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, the Contractor falls behind the initial approved schedule, the Contractor shall take steps necessary to improve its progress, including those that may be required by the Contracting Officer, without additional cost to the Government. In this circumstance, the Contracting Officer may require the Contractor to increase the number of shifts, overtime operations, days of work, and/or the amount of facilities, and to submit for approval any supplementary schedule or schedules as the Contracting Officer deems necessary to demonstrate how the required rate of progress will be regained.

(c) Failure of the Contractor to comply with the requirements of the Contracting Officer under this clause shall be grounds for a determination by the Contracting Officer that the Contractor is not prosecuting the work with sufficient diligence to ensure completion within the time specified in the contract. Upon making this determination, the Contracting Officer may terminate the Contractor's right to proceed with the work, or any separable part of it, in accordance with the default terms of this contract.

(d) The Contractor shall plan and schedule all Open, Inspect, and Report Items as required by the Specifications such that they are accomplished within the first 25% of the availability, unless otherwise agreed by the Contracting Officer.

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 (COTR) is empowered to provide technical direction, negotiate the amount of labor and material, 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…
