GC-15. UNABSORBED OVERHEAD DELAY DAMAGES:

a. Compensation for unabsorbed overhead incurred in a delay during which the contractor is forced to stand by, whether calculated by the Eichleay Formula or any other method, is not automatic. During any such delay, it is the duty of the contractor to seek out new contracts or additional work opportunities to mitigate delay damages. To substantiate entitlement to unabsorbed overhead damages, the contractor must first demonstrate the nature of the delay that made it impractical to mitigate delay damages by undertaking new work.

b. In submitting any claim for delay damages for unabsorbed overhead, regardless of length of delay, the contractor must list all work performed during the delay period. This list shall include date of each contract or agreement, the period of performance and any other information required by the Contracting Officer.

c. In submitting any claim for delay damages for unabsorbed overhead, the contractor must prove all opportunities, prime or sub-contract, bonded or unbonded, it could have undertaken but for the delay. The parties to this contract agree that if no additional work opportunities arise during any delay period in excess of 14 days, under absorption of overhead would be caused by lack of opportunity and not the delay under this contract. In the absence of opportunity to take on additional

SECTION 01 01 10 Page 8 work, the contractor will be entitled to no additional unabsorbed overhead costs under this contract.

d. In the event new work opportunities do arise during a compensable delay, the contractor will provide notice to the Contracting Officer of such new contracts or other additional work opportunities as they become available during the delay period. The Government will be liable for no unabsorbed overhead costs that arise during the delay period in the absence of an opportunity to adjust the performance schedule to enable avoidance of such costs.

GC-16. UTILITY OUTAGES:

a. General: All utility service outages shall be at the convenience of the Government, and will normally be scheduled during off-duty hours or weekends. Outages shall be requested in writing to the Contracting Officer no less than three weeks (21 days) in advance. Give location, type of utility, date, time and duration of requested outage. Request will identify the individual who will be responsible for the outage.

Requests without an identified responsible party will not be processed.

b. Electrical: Work on high voltage primary lines shall be accomplished while lines are de-energized and grounds are in place.

If, due to extenuating circumstances, this is not practical, permission may be requested through the COR, in writing, to allow work while energized or hot. If permitted, contractor shall be subject to all OSHA requirements for equipment and worker protection.

GC-17. WARRANTIES: Before final acceptance, the contractor shall provide to the COR a list showing all products and installed equipment that are covered by warranties, and the length of time the warranty is in effect.

See Section 01 20 00 WARRANTY REQUIREMENT.
