Amendment 003 Changes Page 1

The subject solicitation for: Unit 1 and 2 Turbine/Generator Rehab at Philpott Powerhouse in Basset, VA

Amendment No. 0004 is issued to provide for the following:

The items listed below are added or revised in the solicitation. Added sections are hereby made a part of the solicitation and are to be inserted in the proper numerical/alphabetical sequence.

SECTION 00 70 00 CONDITIONS OF THE CONTRACT

[Change: A4.1-1]

52.211-12 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES—CONSTRUCTION (SEP 2000)

(a) TURBINE PERFORMANCE GUARANTEES

The parties to the contract agree that the Government will incur financial damage (due to lost generation) if the hydraulic performance guaranteed by the contractor is not achieved. Recognizing that actual damages are difficult to determine with precision, the parties to the contract agree that the following Liquidated Damages reasonably represent the damages, which the Government will incur.

Efficiency Guarantee Based on Field Performance Testing. Each full-size turbine supplied by the Contractor shall meet or exceed the Contractor’s guaranteed minimum weighted prototype hydraulic efficiency. The determination that the efficiency guarantee has been met will be accomplished by the Section 48 13 13.01 26 field performance testing. The field performance testing will be performed at one head chosen by the Government (net head unspecified). The damages assessed for the first unit will also be applied to the second unit.

If the field test determined weighted efficiency for an individual turbine is less than the values guaranteed by the Contractor by an amount not exceeding 1.0%, the Contractor shall be accessed damages for that turbine as described below. If the field test determined efficiency deficiency exceeds 1.0% at any guarantee, the Contracting Officer may reject the turbine. If the turbine is rejected no monetary penalty will be assessed. If the Government elects to collect liquidated damages for efficiency, The following calculations will be performed to determine the damages. The field measured efficiency will be compared to the predicted prototype efficiency at the test head to determine the difference between the actual measured efficiency and the efficiency that was predicted from the turbine design. This difference will be called Delta. At each of the guaranteed heads, the corresponding Delta will be subtracted from the predicted prototype efficiency at each of the guaranteed turbine outputs. The resulting efficiencies at each head will be used to compute the weighted efficiency using the weighting factors.

If the resulting weighted efficiency is found to be less than the guaranteed weighted efficiency by an amount greater than the uncertainty of the field test (1.1%), the following damages will be assessed and collected for each 0.1% above the uncertainty of the field test.

Prototype Weighted Hydraulic Efficiency Liquidated Damages: $19,796 per 0.1% per unit

CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.211-10 COMMENCEMENT, PROSECUTION, AND COMPLETION OF WORK (APR 1984) -

ALTERNATE I (APR 1984)

The Contractor shall be required to (a) commence work under this contract within 10 calendar days after the date the Contractor receives the notice to proceed, (b) prosecute the work diligently, and (c) complete the entire work ready for use not later than 1095 calendar days after date of award. The time stated for completion shall include final cleanup of the premises.

The completion date is based on the assumption that the successful offeror will receive the notice to proceed by 10 days after award date. The completion date will be extended by the number of calendar days after the above date that the Contractor receives the notice to proceed, except to the extent that the delay in issuance of the notice to proceed results from the failure of the Contractor to execute the contract and give the required performance and payment bonds within the time specified in the offer.

(End of clause)

52.211-12 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES--CONSTRUCTION (SEP 2000)

1. DAILY LIQUIDATED DAMAGES - CONSTRUCTION

(a) If the Contractor fails to complete the work within the time specified in the contract, the Contractor shall pay liquidated damages to the Government in the amount of $1,307.75 per day per Unit for each calendar day of delay until the work is completed or accepted.

(b) If the Government terminates the Contractor's right to proceed, liquidated damages will continue to accrue until the work is completed. These liquidated damages are in addition to excess costs of repurchase under the Termination clause.

2. MISSED PERFORMANCE AND CAVITATION GUARANTEES

(a) TURBINE PERFORMANCE GUARANTEES

The parties to the contract agree that the Government will incur financial damage (due to lost generation) if the hydraulic performance guaranteed by the contractor is not achieved. Recognizing that actual damages are difficult to determine with precision, the parties to the contract agree that the following Liquidated Damages reasonably represent the damages, which the Government will incur.

Efficiency Guarantee Based on Field Performance Testing. Each full-size turbine supplied by the Contractor shall meet or exceed the Contractor’s guaranteed minimum weighted prototype hydraulic efficiency. The determination that the efficiency guarantee has been met will be accomplished by the Section 48 13 13.01 26 field performance testing. The field performance testing will be performed at one head chosen by the Government (net head unspecified). The damages assessed for the first unit will also be applied to the second unit.

The following calculations will be performed to determine the damages. The field measured efficiency will be compared to the predicted prototype efficiency at the test head to determine the difference between the actual measured efficiency and the efficiency that was predicted from the turbine design. This difference will be called Delta. At each of the guaranteed heads, the corresponding Delta will be subtracted from the predicted prototype efficiency at each of the guaranteed turbine outputs. The resulting efficiencies at each head will be used to compute the weighted efficiency using the weighting factors.

If the resulting weighted efficiency is found to be less than the guaranteed weighted efficiency by an amount greater than the uncertainty of the field test (1.1%), the following damages will be assessed and collected for each 0.1% above the uncertainty of the field test.

Prototype Weighted Hydraulic Efficiency Liquidated Damages: $19,796 per 0.1% per unit

(b) CAVITATION GUARANTEES.

The parties to the contract agree that the Government will incur financial damages if excessive pitting due to cavitation occurs and cannot be resolved. Recognizing that actual damages are difficult to determine with precision, the parties to the contract agree that the following sum reasonably represents the damages, which the Government will incur. In the event that cavitation damage in excess of the amount allowed under Section 48 13 13.01 26 is discovered within the two year or 10,000 hour warranty period (whichever is reached first) of each turbine unit accepted, the Contractor shall repair the damage and make modifications to prevent future damage. In the event that cavitation damage in excess of the amount allowed under Section 48 13 13.01 26 is discovered again after the Contractor has completed one repair for each unit accepted and prior to another two years or 10,000 hours of operation has elapsed; the Contractor shall perform a second repair for each turbine unit and also pay the Government a lump sum final liquidated damage in the amount of $70,954 per unit. After the second repair on each unit, no future cavitation repairs will be required to that unit. See Section 48 13 13.01 26 for further details.

(c) GENERATOR STATOR WINDING PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE

Should the measured combined stator dc I²R (copper) loss and stray load loss, including resistance of the circuit rings, be greater than the guaranteed value (Section 00 11 00), and should the Contractor fail, within a reasonable time, to modify the winding so that it meets the loss guarantees, and should the winding be otherwise in satisfactory operational condition, the Contracting Officer, in lieu of pursuing other remedies provided in the Contract, may accept it conditionally. In that event, the Contractor agrees that he will pay the Government, or will authorize the Government to withhold from him any monies which otherwise would be due to him, in the amount of $6,636 for each additional kilowatt of measured combined stator dc I²R (copper) loss and stray load loss above the loss guaranteed for each unit.

The measured combined stator dc I²R (copper) loss and stray load loss shall be determined by field (efficiency) tests.

Small business concern means a concern, including its affiliates that is independently owned and operated, not dominant in the field of operation in which it is bidding on Government contracts, and qualified as a small business under the criteria in 13 CFR part 121 and the size standard in paragraph (c) of this clause. Such a concern is ``not dominant in its field of operation'' when it does not exercise a controlling or major influence on a national basis in a kind of business activity in which a number of business concerns are primarily engaged. In determining whether dominance exists, consideration shall be given to all appropriate factors, including volume of business, number of employees, financial resources, competitive status or position, ownership or control of materials, processes, patents, license agreements, facilities, sales territory, and nature of business activity.

(b) If the Contractor represented that it was a small business concern prior to award of this contract, the Contractor shall represent its size status according to paragraph (e) of this clause or, if applicable, paragraph (g) of this clause, upon the occurrence of any of the following:

(1) Within 30 days after execution of a novation agreement or within 30 days after modification of the contract to include this clause, if the novation agreement was executed prior to inclusion of this clause in the contract.

(2) Within 30 days after a merger or acquisition that does not require a novation or within 30 days after modification of the contract to include this clause, if the merger or acquisition occurred prior to inclusion of this clause in the contract.

(3) For long-term contracts--

(i) Within 60 to 120 days prior to the end of the fifth year of the contract; and

(ii) Within 60 to 120 days prior to the date specified in the contract for exercising any option thereafter.

(c) The Contractor shall represent its size status in accordance with the size standard in effect at the time of this representation that corresponds to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code assigned to this contract. The small business size standard corresponding to this NAICS code can be found at http://www.sba.gov/content/table-small-business-size-standards.

(d) The small business size standard for a Contractor providing a product which it does not manufacture itself, for a contract other than a construction or service contract, is 500 employees.

(e) Except as provided in paragraph (g) of this clause, the Contractor shall make the representation required by paragraph (b) of this clause by validating or updating all its representations in the Representations and Certifications section of the System for Award Management (SAM) and its other data in SAM, as necessary, to ensure that they reflect the Contractor's current status. The Contractor shall notify the contracting office in writing within the timeframes specified in paragraph (b) of this clause that the data have been validated or updated, and provide the date of the validation or update.

(f) If the Contractor represented that it was other than a small business concern prior to award of this contract, the Contractor may, but is not required to, take the actions required by paragraphs (e) or (g) of this clause.

(g) If the Contractor does not have representations and certifications in SAM, or does not have a representation in SAM for the NAICS code applicable to this contract, the Contractor is required to complete the following representation and submit it to the contracting office, along with the contract number and the date on which the representation was completed:

(b) Construction materials.

(1) This clause implements 41 U.S.C. chapter 83, Buy American, by providing a preference for domestic construction material. In accordance with 41 U.S.C. 1907, the component test of the Buy American statute is waived for construction material that is a COTS item. (See FAR 12.505(a)(2)). In addition, the Contracting Officer has determined that the WTO GPA and Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) apply to this acquisition. Therefore, the Buy American restrictions are waived for designated country construction materials.

(2) The Contractor shall use only domestic or designated country construction material in performing this contract, except as provided in paragraphs (b)(3) and (b)(4) of this clause.

(3) The requirement in paragraph (b)(2) of this clause does not apply to information technology that is a commercial item or to the construction materials or components listed by the Government as follows:

[Contracting Officer to list applicable excepted materials or indicate ``none'']

(4) The Contracting Officer may add other foreign construction material to the list in paragraph (b)(3) of this clause if the Government determines that--

(i) The cost of domestic construction material would be unreasonable. The cost of a particular domestic construction material subject to the restrictions of the Buy American statute is unreasonable when the cost of such material exceeds the cost of foreign material by more than 6 percent;

(ii) The application of the restriction of the Buy American statute to a particular construction material would be impracticable or inconsistent with the public interest; or

(iii) The construction material is not mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities of a satisfactory quality.

(c) Request for determination of inapplicability of the Buy American statute.

Philpott Powerhouse, Bassett, VA

W9127820R0069

Section 00 70 00 - Conditions of the Contract Page 10

(1)(i) Any Contractor request to use foreign construction material in accordance with paragraph (b)(4) of this clause shall include adequate information for Government evaluation of the request, including--

(A) A description of the foreign and domestic construction materials;

(B) Unit of measure;

(C) Quantity;

(D) Price;

(E) Time of delivery or availability;

(F) Location of the construction project;

(G) Name and address of the proposed supplier; and

(H) A detailed justification of the reason for use of foreign construction materials cited in accordance with paragraph (b)(3) of this clause.

(ii) A request based on unreasonable cost shall include a reasonable survey of the market and a completed price comparison table in the format in paragraph (d) of this clause.

(iii) The price of construction material shall include all delivery costs to the construction site and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free certificate may be issued).

(iv) Any Contractor request for a determination submitted after contract award shall explain why the Contractor could not reasonably foresee the need for such determination and could not have requested the determination before contract award. If the Contractor does not submit a satisfactory explanation, the Contracting Officer need not make a determination.

(2) If the Government determines after contract award that an exception to the Buy American statute applies and the Contracting Officer and the Contractor negotiate adequate consideration, the Contracting Officer will modify the contract to allow use of the foreign construction material. However, when the basis for the exception is the unreasonable price of a domestic construction material, adequate consideration is not less than the differential established in paragraph (b)(4)(i) of this clause.

(3) Unless the Government determines that an exception to the Buy American statute applies, use of foreign construction material is noncompliant…
