Section 00800 - SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

UAI 5152.231-9000 EQUIPMENT OWNERSHIP AND OPERATING EXPENSE SCHEDULE (MAR 2013)

As prescribed in 5131.100-70, insert the following clause:

EQUIPMENT OWNERSHIP AND OPERATING EXPENSE SCHEDULE

(a) This special contract requirement does not apply to terminations. See 52.249-5000, Basis for Termination

Settlement Proposals, and FAR Part 49.

(b) Allowable cost for construction and marine plant and equipment in sound workable condition owned or controlled and furnished by a contractor or subcontractor at any tier shall be based on actual cost data for each piece of equipment or groups of similar serial and series for which the Government can determine both ownership and operating costs from the contractor's accounting records. When both ownership and operating costs cannot be determined for any piece of equipment or groups of similar serial or series equipment from the contractor's accounting records, costs for that equipment shall be based upon the applicable provisions of EP 1110-1-8, Construction Equipment Ownership and Operating Expense Schedule, Region III. Working conditions shall be considered to be average for determining equipment rates using the schedule unless specified otherwise by the contracting officer. For equipment not included in the schedule, rates for comparable pieces of equipment may be used or a rate may be developed using the formula provided in the schedule. For forward pricing, the schedule in effect at the time of negotiations shall apply. For retroactive pricing, the schedule in effect at the time the work was performed shall apply.

(c) Equipment rental costs are allowable, subject to the provisions of FAR 31.105(d)(ii) and FAR 31.205-36. Rates for equipment rented from an organization under common control, lease-purchase arrangements, and sale-leaseback arrangements, will be determined using the schedule, except that actual rates will be used for equipment leased from an organization under common control that has an established practice of leasing the same or similar equipment to unaffiliated lessees.

(d) When actual equipment costs are proposed and the total amount of the pricing action exceeds the small purchase threshold, the contracting officer shall request the contractor to submit either certified cost or pricing data, or partial/limited data, as appropriate. The data shall be submitted on Standard Form 1411, Contract Pricing

Proposal Cover Sheet.

(End of special contract requirement)

W912EP21B0010 Section 00800-1 Amendment 0002

52.223-1 BIOBASED PRODUCT CERTIFICATION (MAY 2012)

As required by the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 and the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (7 U.S.C.

8102(c)(3)), the offeror certifies, by signing this offer, that biobased products (within categories of products listed by the United States Department of Agriculture in 7 CFR part 3201, subpart B) to be used or delivered in the performance of the contract, other than biobased products that are not purchased by the offeror as a direct result of this contract, will comply with the applicable specifications or other contractual requirements.

(End of provision)

52.223-3 HAZARDOUS MATERIAL IDENTIFICATION AND MATERIAL SAFETY DATA (FEB 2021)

(a) "Hazardous material", as used in this clause, includes any material defined as hazardous under the latest version of Federal Standard No. 313 (including revisions adopted during the term of the contract).

(b) The offeror must list any hazardous material, as defined in paragraph (a) of this clause, to be delivered under this contract. The hazardous material shall be properly identified and include any applicable identification number, such as National Stock Number or Special Item Number. This information shall also be included on the Material Safety

Data Sheet submitted under this contract.

Material (if none, insert None) Identification No.

(c) This list must be updated during performance of the contract whenever the Contractor determines that any other material to be delivered under this contract is hazardous.

(d) The apparently successful offeror agrees to submit, for each item as required prior to award, a Material Safety

Data Sheet, meeting the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.1200(g) and the latest version of Federal Standard No. 313, for all hazardous material identified in paragraph (b) of this clause. Data shall be submitted in accordance with

Federal Standard No. 313, whether or not the apparently successful offeror is the actual manufacturer of these items.

Failure to submit the Material Safety Data Sheet prior to award may result in the apparently successful offeror being considered nonresponsible and ineligible for award.

(e) If, after award, there is a change in the composition of the item(s) or a revision to Federal Standard No. 313, which renders incomplete or inaccurate the data submitted under paragraph (d) of this clause, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer and resubmit the data.

(f) Neither the requirements of this clause nor any act or failure to act by the Government shall relieve the

Contractor of any responsibility or liability for the safety of Government, Contractor, or subcontractor personnel or property.

(g) Nothing contained in this clause shall relieve the Contractor from complying with applicable Federal, State, and local laws, codes, ordinances, and regulations (including the obtaining of licenses and permits) in connection with hazardous material.

(h) The Government's rights in data furnished under this contract with respect to hazardous material are as follows:

W912EP21B0010 Section 00800-2 Amendment 0002

(1) To use, duplicate and disclose any data to which this clause is applicable. The purposes of this right are to--

(i) Apprise personnel of the hazards to which they may be exposed in using, handling, packaging, transporting, or disposing of hazardous materials;

(ii) Obtain medical treatment for those affected by the material; and

(iii) Have others use, duplicate, and disclose the data for the Government for these purposes.

(2) To use, duplicate, and disclose data furnished under this clause, in accordance with subparagraph (h)(1) of this clause, in precedence over any other clause of this contract providing for rights in data.

(3) The Government is not precluded from using similar or identical data acquired from other sources.

(End of clause)

52.249-5000 Basis for Settlement of Bids.

Actual costs will be used to determine equipment costs for a settlement bid submitted on the total cost basis under FAR 49.206-2(b). In evaluating a terminations settlement bid using the total cost basis, the following principles will be applied to determine allowable equipment costs:

(1) Actual costs for each piece of equipment, or groups of similar serial or series equipment, need not be available in the contractor's accounting records to determine total actual equipment costs.

(2) If equipment costs have been allocated to a contract using predetermined rates, those charges will be adjusted to actual costs.

(3) Recorded job costs adjusted for unallowable expenses will be used to determine equipment operating expenses.

(4) Ownership costs (depreciation) will be determined using the contractor's depreciation schedule (subject to the provisions of FAR 31.205-11).

(5) License, taxes, storage and insurance costs are normally recovered as an indirect expense and unless the contractor charges these costs directly to contracts, they will be recovered through the indirect expense rate.

(End of clause)

UNAUTHORIZED INSTRUCTIONS FROM GOVERNMENT OR OTHER PERSONNEL

The Contractor shall not accept any instructions issued by any person, employed by the Government or otherwise, other than the Contracting Officer or the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) acting within the limits of the

COR’s authority. See the Contracting Officer's Representative clause of this contract.

(End of paragraph number)

ESTABLISHING AUTHORITY OF PERSON(S) WHO SIGN(S) THE OFFER

NATIONAL DREDGING QUALITY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM SYSTEM – SPECIAL STANDARD OF

RESPONSIBILITY

(a) The National Dredging Quality Management Program System (NDQMPS) is an automated dredge contract monitoring system comprised of both Contractor provided hardware, Contractor provided software, and software developed by the Army Corps of Engineers (the Corps). This NDQMPS was formerly known as the Silent Inspector.

The Corps developed the NDQMPS as a low cost, repeatable, impartial system for automated dredge/scow monitoring. The NDQMPS consists of three major components: the Dredge Specific System (DSS), the Ship Server, and the Shore Server. The DSS collects and displays various dredge sensor data for the dredge crew to monitor dredge progress and quality control. The other major task of the DSS is to send data to the Ship Server. Most dredging Contractors already have a computer system and sensors onboard for control or positioning that can be used as the DSS. The dredging Contractor supplies and owns the DSS and all associated sensors. The Ship Server acts as the dredge-based data archive and report creation center by storing the data from the DSS and performing automated review of the data. The Ship Server can produce many different reports including dredge location history, volume history, and operational status. Additional information about NDQMPS can be found at https://dqm.usace.army.mil/.

(b) As authorized by FAR 9.104-2, Contracting Officers may establish special standards of responsibility when necessary. The Contracting Officer has determined that use of the NDQMPS is necessary for work performed by hopper dredge or scows. Therefore, in order to be considered responsible for performing this contract, the Offeror must establish after contract award but prior to notice to proceed that any hopper dredge or scow to be used in performance of this contract has been outfitted with the NDQMPS and the system has been certified by the National

Dredging Quality Management Program System Support Center within the last year. Certification requires meeting the requirements of Section 35 20 23: DREDGING of the contract specifications. Questions regarding certification should be addressed to the NDQMPS support team in Mobile District on the contact form at the web site, or by calling 877-840-8024.

(c) Each solicitation shall contain the current standard NDQMPS requirements in addition to special requirements for the project. These special requirements may include penalties for non-performance and data upload schedules.

(End of paragraph)

SEAGOING BARGE ACT – SPECIAL STANDARD OF RESPONSIBILITY

W912EP21B0010 Section 00800-4 Amendment 0002

The Seagoing Barge Rules (46 USC 2101 et seq.) apply to this project. The contractor, upon the request of the

Contracting Officer, shall be required to submit evidence of U.S. Coast Guard certification. Failure to produce the certificate within the requested time may be cause for determining the offeror non-responsible.

STANDARD OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR DREDGING CONTRACTOR

After bid opening, in addition to other information the Contracting Officer may require, the apparent low bidder shall provide a listing of all current contracts and a listing of all U.S. Army Corps of Engineers contracts completed within the past two years. For each of these contracts the bidder shall provide: the plant involved; responsible individual’s name (project manager); QC and safety professional’s names; and accident rates, descriptions, and causes. The bidder shall describe corrective actions taken in response to previous accidents and shall address the specific actions planned for this project to preclude similar accidents.

VARIATION IN ESTIMATED QUANTITY -- DREDGING

(a) Read this paragraph in conjunction with the Variation in Estimated Quantity clause of this contract. This paragraph only applies to line items for excavation.

(b) The estimated quantities contained in the excavation line item(s) of this contract include material from both the required dredging prism and an area of allowable overdepth. The Contractor is not required to excavate the material in the area of allowable overdepth. However, as a precondition for requesting an equitable adjustment in the event the actual quantity is less than 85 percent of the estimated quantity, the Contractor shall have excavated 100 percent of the available material in the required prism and at least 75 percent of the available material in the area of allowable overdepth.

OBTAINING INFORMATION REGARDING THIS SOLICITATION

Read this paragraph in conjunction with FAR 52.214-6, Explanation To Prospective Bidders, which is located in this Section 00100. Verbal requests for information must be directed to the person whose name appears in item 9 of the SF 1442. Collect calls cannot be accepted. Written requests for explanations must be sent to the person identified in item 9 of the SF 1442 and may be sent via facsimile to 904-232-2748.

RETAINAGE FOR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH SUBCONTRACTING PLAN REPORTING

REQUIREMENTS

(a) Read this paragraph in conjunction with Liquidated Damages--Small Business Subcontracting Plan (FAR

52.219-16) clause of this contract.

(b) Should the Contractor fail to submit Individual Subcontract Reports (ISR) and/or Summary Subcontract Reports in a timely manner, the Government will consider this failure as evidence of possible failure to make a good faith effort to achieve goals contained in the Contractor's small business subcontracting plan. In order to protect the

Government's ability to assess liquidated damages in the event the Contractor does fail to meet the goals and such failure results from a lack of good faith effort, the Contracting Officer will retain from progress payments an amount deemed sufficient to satisfy the Contractor's liability. The amount of the retainage will be determined in accordance with the following formula:

Total dollar amount proposed for subcontracting to small business multiplied by the percentage of actual progress on the contract, up to a maximum of 10% of the progress payment, will be withheld from the next progress payment that is due after the Contractor's failure to submit a required report. If one or more reports have been submitted before a failure to submit a required report, this formula will be adjusted by deducting any amounts reported as subcontracted to small business from the total dollar amount proposed to be subcontracted. See examples below.

Example 1 (No previous reports submitted)

Total prop osed subcontracting $500,000 Current pr ogress payment $100,000

Percent of work completed x .10 Maximum retainage percentage x .10

Retainage $50,000 Retainage $10,000

Maximum that can be retained is $10,000

Example 2 (Previous reports submitted)

Total proposed subcontracting $500,000 Current progress payment $100,000

W912EP21B0010 Section 00800-10 Amendment 0002 http://www.fbo.gov/

Subcontracting previously reported($100,000) Maximum retainage percentage x .10

Percent of work completed x .10 Retainage $10,000

Retainage $40,000

Maximum that can be retained is $10,000

U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS SAFETY AND HEALTH REQUIREMENTS MANUAL, EM 385-1-1

CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS

In accordance with the provisions of Subpart 36.201 (Evaluation of Contractor Performance) of the Federal

Acquisition Regulation (FAR), construction contractors’ performance shall be evaluated throughout the performance of the contract. The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) follows the procedures outlined in

Engineering and Construction Bulletin 2014-13 to fulfill this FAR requirement. For construction contracts awarded at $650,000.00 or more, the USACE will evaluate contractor's performance and prepare a performance report using the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), which is a web-based system. After an evaluation (interim or final) is written up by the USACE, the contractor will have the ability to access, review and comment on the evaluation for a period of 60 days. The evaluation will be transferred to the Past Performance

W912EP21B0010 Section 00800-11 Amendment 0002 http://www.usace.army.mil/Missions/Safety-and-Occupational-Health/

Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) within 15 calendar days after issuance. However, it will remain with

“Pending” status in PPIRS until the government official closes the form in CPARS. Contractors may access their own evaluations in PPIRS by registering as a user and obtaining specific software, called PKI certification, which is installed on the user's computer. The certification is a Department of Defense requirement and was implemented to provide security in electronic transactions. The average cost per certificate is about $100 - $120 per year and is purchased from an External Certificate Authorities (ECA) vendor. Current information about CPARS, PKI certification process and for contacting vendors can be found on the web site: http://www.cpars.gov. If the

Contractor wishes to participate in the performance evaluation process, access to CPARS and PKI certification is the sole responsibility of the Contractor.
