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 210 calendar days after the date the Contractor receives the Notice to Proceed.
The time stated for completion shall include final cleanup of the premises.
1.2 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES - CONSTRUCTION (SEP 2000) (FAR 52.211-12)
(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 $ 2,180.00 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.
1.3 PHYSICAL DATA (APR 1984) (FAR 52.236-4)
Data and information furnished or referred to below is for the Contractor's information. The Government shall not be responsible for any interpretation of or conclusion drawn from the data or information by the Contractor.
(a) The indications of physical conditions on the drawings and in the specifications are the result of site investigations by surveys, and core borings
(b) Transportation Facilities. The immediate vicinity is served by railroad, IH-10, State Highway 6, and Noble Road.
1.4 QUANTITY SURVEYS (APR 1984) (FAR 52.236-16)
(a) Quantity surveys shall be conducted, and the data derived from these surveys shall be used in computing the quantities of work performed and the actual construction completed and in place.
(b) The Government shall conduct the original and final surveys and
DOCUMENT 00 73 00.00 45 Page 3 make the computations based on them. The Contractor shall conduct the surveys for any periods for which progress payments are requested and make the computations based on these surveys. All surveys conducted by the Contractor shall be conducted under the direction of the Contracting Officer, unless the Contracting Officer waives this requirement in a specific instance.
(c) Promptly upon completing a survey, the Contractor shall furnish the originals of all field notes and all other records relating to the survey or to the layout of the work to the Contracting Officer, who shall use them as necessary to determine the amount of progress payments. The Contractor shall retain copies of all such material furnished to the Contracting Officer.
1.5 LIABILITY (APR 1984) (FAR 28.307-2)
(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.

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.
1.6 BASIS FOR SETTLEMENT OF PROPOSALS (MAR 1995) (UAI 52.249-5000)
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 terminations settlement proposal using the total cost basis, the following principals will be applied to determine allowable equipment costs:
(1) Actual costs for each piece of equipment, or groups of
DOCUMENT 00 73 00.00 45 Page 4 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.
1.7 EQUIPMENT OWNERSHIP AND OPERATING EXPENSE SCHEDULE(UAI 31.105-101 MAR
1995)
(a) This special contract requirement does not apply to terminations.
See 52.249-5000, Basis for Settlement of 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 con-tractor'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 VI. 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, Rental Costs. 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 SAT, 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.

A qualified HUBZone SBC prime contractor may not, however, subcontract more than 50 percent of the cost of the contract incurred for personnel to non-qualified HUBZone SBCs.
(2) A qualified HUBZone SBC prime contractor receiving a HUBZone contract for specialty construction may meet this requirement itself by expending at least 50 percent of the cost of the contract incurred for personnel on its employees or it may subcontract at least 25 percent of the cost of the contract performance incurred for personnel to one or more qualified HUBZone SBCs. A qualified HUBZone SBC prime contractor may not, however, subcontract more than 50 percent of the cost of the contract incurred for personnel to non-qualified HUBZone SBCs.
(c) A contracting officer may waive the 50 percent requirement set forth in paragraph (b) of this section for a particular procurement after determining that at least two qualified HUBZone SBCs cannot meet the requirement. Where a waiver is granted, the qualified HUBZone SBC prime contractor must still meet the performance of work requirements set forth in Sec. 125.6(c) of this chapter.
