ANTI-MAFIA LAW REQUIREMENTS
1. Pre-Award Effect of Anti-Mafia Procedure. Inasmuch as the work of this contract is to be performed on land owned by the Italian State, the prospective contractor will be subject to Italian Law No. 646, of 13 September 1982, and subsequent integration and amendments. As much, in the event that prior to award any disciplinary actions or proceedings for Mafia related matters exist against the apparent low bidder/offeror, no award will be made to said low bidder/offeror.

PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS. For the accomplishment of this contract, the Government has provided the Contractor with “PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS”. Performance specifications state requirements in terms of the required results with criteria for verifying compliance, but without stating the methods for achieving the required results. In view of the above, the Government shall not be liable for Contractor’s increased costs in achieving the performance requirements unless such a specification embodies requirements objectively impossible to attain. The fact that the Government may specify a minimum requirement for some detail of performance does not transform the “PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS” into a “DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS”.

Existing utility lines and features revealed during the course of construction shall also be accurately located and dimensioned. Variations in the interior utility systems shall be clearly defined and dimensioned; and coordinated with exterior utility connections at the building five-foot line, where applicable.
Existing topographic features which differ from those shown on the contract drawings shall also be accurately located and recorded. Where a choice of materials or methods is permitted herein, or where variations in scope or character of methods is permitted herein, or where variations in scope or character of work from that of the original contract are authorized, the drawings shall be marked to define the construction actually provided. The representations of such changes shall conform to standard drafting practice and shall include such supplementary notes, legends, and details as necessary to clearly portray the as-built construction. These drawings shall be available for review by the Contracting Officer at all times. Upon completion of the work, both sets of the marked up prints shall be certified as correct, signed by the Contractor, and delivered to the Contracting Officer for his approval before acceptance. Requests for partial payments will not be approved if the marked prints are not kept current, and request for final payment will not be approved until the marked prints are delivered to the Contracting Officer.
CONTRACTING OFFICER AUTHORITY. In no event shall any understanding or agreement between the Contractor and any Government employee, other than the Contracting Officer on any contract, modification, change order, letter of verbal direction to the Contractor be effective or binding upon the Government. All such actions must be formalized by a proper contractual document executed by an appointed Contracting Officer. The Contractor is hereby put on notice that in the event a Government employee, other than the Contracting Officer, directs a change in the work to be performed, or increases the scope of work to be performed, it is the Contractor's responsibility to make inquiry of the Contracting Officer before making the deviation.
