Section 00800 - SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

EQUIPMENT OWNERSHIP AND OPERATING EXPENSE SCHEDULE (MAR 2013)

(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 Paragraph)

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.

W912EP22B0003 00800-1 Amendment 0004

(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:

(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.

52.249-5000 BASIS FOR SETTLEMENT OF PROPOSALS (MAR 2013)

Actual costs will be used to determine equipment costs for a settlement proposal submitted on the total cost basis under FAR 49.206-2(b). In evaluating a termination settlement proposal 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.

W912EP22B0003 00800-2 Amendment 0004

(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.

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.

In the event that the Contractor alleges technical difficulties and does not notify the contracting officer until after the closing date and time, the contracting officer will follow the procedures identified in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and then make a determination if the Contractor’s late proposal submission is accepted. Screen shots of the submission should be taken to validate a submission was accepted in the PIEE system.

You are limited to five (5) maximum files per upload (total size cannot exceed 1.9GB). If you have a large number of files, it is recommended that you combine or ZIP your files before uploading to the PIEE site.

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 proposed subcontracting $500,000 Current progress 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 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

NOTICE OF FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL TAXES—CONTRACTS PERFORMED IN PUERTO RICO

This contract includes one of the following clauses: FAR 52.229-3, Federal, State, And Local Taxes; FAR 52.229- 4, Federal, State, And Local Taxes (Noncompetitive Contract); or FAR 52.212-4, Contract Terms And Conditions— Commercial Items. These clauses place responsibility for taxes on the Contractor. Offerors are hereby strongly advised to check with the various Puerto Rican taxing authorities to determine which, if any, local taxes they will have to pay. The Government is aware that each municipality in Puerto Rico has the authority to assess a tax on Government contractors working within the municipality. The tax rate varies from municipality to municipality.

We believe they currently range from 1.5% to 5.5% of the value of the contract. Additionally, the Government is aware that the Commonwealth imposes a tax on equipment brought onto the island. This notice is intended to advise offerors that local taxes may be imposed. The two examples cited are not intended to be a comprehensive list—they are merely examples. Questions concerning taxes must be directed to Puerto Rican taxing authorities.

The Government does not have the ability to answer questions regarding local taxes.

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 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

W912EP22B0003 00800-10 Amendment 0004

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