1.6.18.2 Zero Accident Program: The USACE-Albuquerque District, in its continual pursuit of excellence in safety, has established a goal of zero Contractor injuries. To attain this goal, it will be necessary for the Contractor management personnel to communicate to the workers an expectation of zero injuries; that it is no longer acceptable to take chances; that shortcuts taken because of laziness or even while trying to do an efficient job are no longer welcomed; that praise for shortcuts or chance-taking will not exist. It is imperative that Contractor management clearly sets forth the expectation for zero injuries so that the workers can begin to believe that the company is truly serious about safety. From the standpoint of worker psychology, zero is the only supportable goal. In attaining zero-injury performance, there is no substitute for the concept of setting and communicating safety performance expectations to the workers.

1.6.19 Pricing and Payment: The Contractor may invoice for partial performance of a task (including partial performance of any unit-priced task, if applicable) when that task is being performed in compliance with all applicable contract requirements in a manner found acceptable by USACE, and the amount due for any such partial performance (for purposes of FAR § 32.906, Making Payments, and the clause at FAR § 52.232-1, Payments) shall be subject to approval by the COR based on the recommendation of the KO.

The Contractor shall submit invoices by email to the USACE PM and COR for approval and payment from USACE by the 10th of each month. No more than one invoice may be submitted per month. For purposes of determining whether an invoice has been properly submitted, the COR or delegate shall be responsible for determining whether any task has been completed or is being completed in compliance with all applicable contract requirements and what percentage of the task has actually been completed. However, the Contractor shall remain responsible for QC and maintaining an inspection system, as specified in the contract.

Invoices shall include all the necessary information, including any and all supporting documentation, and will be based on the work completed for each specific task under this Project. The Contractor shall (concurrently) send a monthly progress report and invoices for approval by the COR and USACE PM as portable document format (PDF) files to:

Joshua Mellema USACE, Albuquerque Joshua.D.Mellema@usace.army.mil

Behnaum Moayyad USACE, Albuquerque behnaum.moayyad@usace.army.mil

During the performance of this project, USACE shall make progress payments based on the invoices submitted for the work completed and found to be acceptable by USACE. No modification of the contract shall occur without coordination and approval by the KO. When submitting for final payment, Contractor shall include a Release of Claims.
