Natick Contracting Division, Office of General Counsel ATTN: Mr. Roger Phillips

(e) The contractor shall furnish the KO a final report within three (3) months after completion of the contracted work listing all subject inventions or certifying that there were no such inventions, and listing all subcontracts at any tier containing a patent rights clause or certifying that there were no such subcontracts.
H.2. ENVIRONMENTAL AND ENERGY CONSERVATION OBJECTIVES
Services provided under this contract must be conducted in accordance with all International, Federal, and State laws; and DOD/U.S. Army regulations, policies, and procedures that govern training. If performance of any work under this contract is required at a Government facility, the contractor shall contact the appropriate office and code with cognizance over safety and environmental requirement prior to performance of ANY work under this contract. The office having overall governance concerning safety is as follows:
Safety Officer/Industrial Hygiene Officer Natick Contracting Division 1 General Greene Ave Natick, MA 01760
Contractors are responsible for following all safety and health related State and Federal statutes and corresponding State, Federal and/or Army regulations protecting the environment, contractor employees, and persons who live and work in and around contractor and/or federal facilities.
Contractors shall monitor their employees and ensure that they are following all safety regulations particular to the work areas. Contractors shall ensure that their employees:
(1) Wear appropriate safety equipment and clothing;
(2) Are familiar with all relevant emergency procedures should an accident occur; and
(3) Have access to a telephone and telephone numbers, to include emergency telephone numbers, for the Government facility where work is performed.
Notwithstanding that the contract may require the use of paints or coatings which do not meet state or district requirements for reduced Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's), the contractor must comply with all federal, state, and local regulatory requirements respecting air quality and emission limitations. It remains the contractor's responsibility to meet the requirements for reduced VOC's even where to do so will require the use of engineering controls or other special painting equipment.
PERSONAL SERVICES AND INSURANCES
H.3. INHERENTLY GOVERNMENTAL FUNCTIONS
As a matter of policy, an "inherently governmental function" is a function that is so intimately related to the public interest as to mandate performance by Government employees. These functions include those activities that require either the exercise of discretion in applying Government authority or the making of value judgments in making decisions for the Government. Governmental functions normally fall into two categories: (1) the act of governing, i.e., the discretionary exercise of Government authority, and (2) monetary transactions and entitlements. Contractor personnel shall not perform inherently Governmental functions. [Reference FAR Subpart 7.5]
H.4. PERSONAL SERVICES
Personal services are characterized by the employer-employee relationship created between the Government and the contractor’s personnel. Obtaining personal services by contract rather than by direct hire circumvents the law unless Congress has specifically authorized acquisition of the services by contract. Agencies shall not award personal service contracts unless specifically authorized by statute, 5 U.S.C. 3109. Contractors shall not perform personal services. An exception to the prohibition of personal services is health services allowed for by FAR Subpart 37.4
H.5. STANDARD LIABILITY INSURANCE
The following types of insurance are required in accordance with the FAR 28.307-2 Liability. Contractors are required to provide insurance coverage as follows:
(a) Workers’ compensation and employer’s liability. Contractors are required to comply with applicable Federal and State workers’ compensation and occupational disease statutes. If occupational diseases are not compensable under those statutes, they shall be covered under the employer’s liability section of the insurance policy, except when contract operations are so commingled with a contractor’s commercial operations that it would not be practical to require this coverage. Employer’s liability coverage of at least $100,000 shall be required, except in States with exclusive or monopolistic funds that do not permit workers’ compensation to be written by private carriers. (See 28.305(c) for treatment of contracts subject to the Defense Base Act.)
(b) General liability.
(1) The contracting officer shall require bodily injury liability insurance coverage written on the comprehensive form of policy of at least $500,000 per occurrence.
(2) Property damage liability insurance shall be required only in special circumstances as determined by the agency.
(c) Automobile liability. The contracting officer shall require automobile liability insurance written on the comprehensive form of policy. The policy shall provide for bodily injury and property damage liability covering the operation of all automobiles used in connection with performing the contract. Policies covering automobiles operated in the United States shall provide coverage of at least $200,000 per person and $500,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and $20,000 per occurrence for property damage. The amount of liability coverage on other policies shall be commensurate with any legal requirements of the locality and sufficient to meet normal and customary claims.
(d) Aircraft public and passenger liability. When aircraft are used in connection with performing the contract, the contracting officer shall require aircraft public and passenger liability insurance. Coverage shall be at least $200,000 per person and $500,000 per occurrence for bodily injury, other than passenger liability, and $200,000 per occurrence for property damage. Coverage for passenger liability bodily injury shall be at least $200,000 multiplied by the number of seats or passengers, whichever is greater.
(e) Vessel liability. When contract performance involves use of vessels, the contracting officer shall require, as determined by the agency, vessel collision liability and protection and indemnity liability insurance.
RESTRICTIONS
H.6. SECURITY CLASSIFICATION
The work contracted for is related to and connected with the National Defense. No information relating to the work shall be communicated, transmitted, or disclosed to any person not entitled to receive it. It is anticipated that some of the assigned work will be of a classified nature. Accordingly, it will be necessary for some personnel assigned to work under this contract to have a security clearance of at least SECRET. Although the requirement for a clearance above SECRET is not required for the basic contract award, there may be efforts at the Task Order (TO) level that will require a clearance above the SECRET level. Access to information at the TO level beyond that which is authorized in the DD Form 254 applicable to this IDIQ contract will result in a separate, TO specific DD Form 254 to be issued by the Government. In order to be eligible for such efforts, awardees must have the capability to perform at the SECRET level and possibly TOP SECRET level. Additionally, the contractor shall be guided by and safeguard all classified information either generated by or received under the contract in accordance with DD Form 254, Contract Security Classification Specification, provided as an attachment to the applicable TO.
H.7. REIMBURSEMENT OF TRAVEL, PER DIEM, AND SPECIAL MATERIAL COSTS
(a) Area of Travel. Performance under this contract may require travel by contractor personnel. If travel, domestic or overseas, is required, the contractor is responsible for making all necessary arrangements for its personnel. These include but are not limited to: medical examinations, immunizations, passports/visas/etc., and security clearances.
Any OCONUS/FOREIGN travel by contractor personnel shall be in accordance with procedures for entering into the Area of Responsibility (e.g., CENTCOM). Refer to the Foreign Clearance Guide at https://www.fcg.pentagon.mil.
(b) Travel Policy. The Government will reimburse the contractor for allowable travel costs incurred by the contractor in performance of the contract in accordance with FAR Subpart 31.2. Travel required for tasks assigned under this contract shall be governed in accordance with Joint Travel Regulations (JTR) (http://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/site/travelreg.cfm). Department of State Standardized Regulations (DSSR) are the overriding regulations for allowances and benefits available to all U.S. Government civilians assigned to foreign areas. The DSSR can be accessed on the following website: https://aoprals.state.gov/
(c) Travel. Travel and subsistence are authorized for travel beyond a fifty-mile radius of the contractor’s office whenever a task assignment requires work to be accomplished at a temporary alternate worksite. No travel or subsistence shall be charged for work performed within a fifty-mile radius of the contractor’s office. The contractor shall not be paid for travel or subsistence for contractor personnel who reside in the metropolitan area in which the tasks are being performed. Travel performed for personal convenience, in conjunction with personal recreation, or daily travel to and from work at the contractor’s facility will not be reimbursed. To the extent available, suitable Government quarters, messing, and surface transportation facilities may be used. General and administrative expense is allowable if travel is normally part of the Contractor's G&A base. Profit or fee is not authorized on travel related costs.
(1) For travel costs other than described in paragraph (c) above, the contractor shall be paid on the basis of actual amount paid to the extent that such travel is necessary for the performance of services under the contract and is authorized by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) in writing.
(2) When transportation by privately owned conveyance is authorized, the contractor shall be paid on a mileage basis not to exceed the applicable Government transportation rate as contained in the JTR or DSSR.
Authorization for the use of privately owned conveyance shall be indicated in the basic contract. Distances traveled between points shall be shown on invoices as listed in standard highway mileage guides. Reimbursement will not exceed the mileage shown in the standard highway mileage guides.
(3) The contractor agrees, in the performance of necessary travel, to use the lowest cost mode commensurate with the requirements of the mission as set forth in the basic contract and in accordance with Joint Travel Regulations traffic management principles. When it is necessary to use air or rail travel, the contractor agrees to use coach, tourist class, or similar accommodations to the extent consistent with the successful and economical accomplishment of the mission for which the travel is being performed. The Government will reimburse the Contractor for actual transportation fare via the most direct routes (non-first class) between place of origin and destination. Cost for delays en-route (excluding Government-caused delays) will not be reimbursed.
(4) The contractor’s invoices shall include receipts or other evidence substantiating actual costs incurred for authorized travel. In no event will such payments exceed the rates of common carriers.
(d) Vehicle and/or Truck Rentals. The contractor shall be reimbursed for actual rental/lease of special vehicles and/or trucks (i.e., of a type not normally used by the contractor in the conduct of its business) only if authorized in the basic contract or upon approval by the COR. Reimbursement of such rental shall be made based on actual amounts paid by the contractor. Use of rental/lease costs of vehicles and/or trucks that are of a type normally used by the contractor in the conduct of its business are not subject to reimbursement.
(e) Car Rental. The contractor shall be reimbursed for car rental, exclusive of mileage charges, as authorized in the basic contract or upon approval by the COR, when the services are required to be performed beyond the normal commuting distance from the contractor’s facilities. Car rental for a team on Temporary Duty (TDY) at one site will be allowed for a minimum of four (4) persons per car, provided that such number or greater comprise the TDY team.
(f) Per Diem. The contractor shall not be paid for per diem for contractor personnel who reside in the metropolitan areas in which the tasks are being performed.
