(d) Notification. (1) The Contractor shall inform the Contracting Officer and the agency Inspector General immediately of—

(i) Any credible information it receives from any source (including host country law enforcement) that alleges a Contractor employee, subcontractor, subcontractor employee, or their agent has engaged in conduct that violates the policy in paragraph (b) of this clause (see also 18 U.S.C. 1351, Fraud in Foreign Labor Contracting, and 52.203- 13(b)(3)(i)(A), if that clause is included in the solicitation or contract, which requires disclosure to the agency Office of the Inspector General when the Contractor has credible evidence of fraud); and

(7) Suspension or debarment.

(f) Mitigating and aggravating factors. When determining remedies, the Contracting Officer may consider the following:

(iv) Protect all employees suspected of being victims of or witnesses to prohibited activities, prior to returning to the country from which the employee was recruited, and shall not prevent or hinder the ability of these employees from cooperating fully with Government authorities.

(ii) Require any officer, director, owner, employee, or agent of the Contractor, including a sole proprietor, to waive his or her attorney client privilege or Fifth Amendment rights; or

(2) The Contractor shall maintain a compliance plan during the performance of the contract that is appropriate—

(i) To the size and complexity of the contract; and

(3) Minimum requirements. The compliance plan must include, at a minimum, the following:

(i) An awareness program to inform contractor employees about the Government's policy prohibiting trafficking-related activities described in paragraph (b) of this clause, the activities prohibited, and the actions that will be taken against the employee for violations.

(iii) A recruitment and wage plan that only permits the use of recruitment companies with trained employees, prohibits charging recruitment fees to the employee or potential employee, and ensures that wages meet applicable host-country legal requirements or explains any variance.

(iv) A housing plan, if the Contractor or subcontractor intends to provide or arrange housing, that ensures that the housing meets host-country housing and safety standards.

(v) Procedures to prevent agents and subcontractors at any tier and at any dollar value from engaging in trafficking in persons (including activities in paragraph (b) of this clause) and to monitor, detect, and terminate any agents, subcontracts, or subcontractor employees that have engaged in such activities.

MND.”

(d) Funding carry-over:

(1) The Contractor will make every reasonable effort to obtain completion of all performance under the contract and to obtain, approve, and forward Contractor’s invoices under the contract before the end of the calendar year of the contract. In the event that any work initiated under the contract cannot be completed by the end of the calendar year, the Contractor shall furnish the Contracting Officer and USFK, ATTN: FKJ4-P-G, not later than 30 November, the following information:

(i) A list of work that apparently will not be completed and invoiced by, and apparently will require payments after, the end of the calendar year;

(ii) Estimated price of work that apparently will be carried beyond the calendar year; and

(iii) Date of anticipated completion of the work.

(2) The ROK MND shall seek mutually agreeable procedures for payment for work carried over to the next calendar year.

(1) This contract is funded with calendar year ROK MND funds, from date of award through 31 December of the year in which the contract is awarded and/or into which the contract is extended. ROK MND funds are not available for performance, under this contract, beyond 31 December of the current contract’s calendar year period. Any obligation and/or legal liability on the part of ROK MND for the next calendar year’s performance, including exercise of any option to extend the services/contract, is contingent upon the Contracting Officer’s explicit notification to the Contractor of availability of that new calendar year’s ROK MND funds, from which contractual payment(s) can be made.

(2) Unavailability of ROK MND funds until a few months into the new calendar year may necessitate a break in performance of the contract until those funds become available.

(a) This contract shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the substantive laws of the United States of America.

law.

(b) All disputes arising under, or relating to, this contract shall be resolved under this clause.

(c) “Claim,” as used in this clause, means a written demand or written assertion by one of the contracting parties seeking, as a matter of right, the payment of money in a sum certain, the adjustment or interpretation of contract terms, or other relief arising under or relating to this contract. A claim arising under a contract, unlike a claim relating to that contract, is a claim that can be resolved under a contract clause that provides for the relief sought by the claimant; however, a written demand or written assertion by the Contractor seeking the payment of money exceeding $100,000 is not a claim under the clause until certified as required by subparagraph (d)(2) below. A voucher, invoice, or other routine request for payment that is not in dispute when submitted is not a claim under the clause. The submission may be converted to a claim under the clause, by complying with the submission and certification requirements of this clause, if it is disputed either as to liability or amount or is not acted upon in a reasonable time.

(d) The contractor shall have the right to submit to the Contracting Officer, disputes, demands, and/or claims, relating to or arising under this contract, only on the issue of whether the Government should and will certify performance, for payment by the ROK Government.

Government has certified as completed.

(1) A claim by the contractor shall be made in writing and submitted to the Contracting Officer for a written decision. A claim by the Government against the Contractor shall be subject to a decision by the Contracting Officer.

(i) The claim is made in good faith;

(ii) Supporting data are accurate and complete to the best of the contractor's knowledge and belief; and

(iii) The amount requested accurately reflects the contract adjustment for which the contractor believes the Government is liable.

(3) Individuals

(i) If the contractor is an individual, the certification shall be executed by that individual.

(ii) If the contractor is not an individual, the certification shall be executed by –

(A) A senior company official in charge at the contractor's plant or location involved; or

(B) An officer or general partner of the contractor having overall responsibility for the conduct of the contractor's affairs.

(f) For contractor’s claims of $100,000 or less, the Contracting Officer will, if requested in writing by the contractor, render a decision within 60 days of the request. For contractor-certified claims over $100,000, the Contracting Officer will, within 60 days, decide the claim or notify the contractor of the date by which the decision will be made.

(g) The Contracting Officer's decision shall be final unless the contractor appeals the decision within 30 days of the Contracting Officer's decision, to the Principal Assistant Responsible for Contracting (PARC). In the event that the contractor does appeal the decision of the Contracting Officer, the appeal shall be heard by and decided by the PARC and/or a panel of U.S. officials, chaired by the PARC. The decision of this panel shall be final.

(h) The contractor shall proceed diligently with performance of this contract, pending final resolution of any request for relief, claim, or action arising under the contract, and comply with any decision of the Contracting Officer.

(i) This contract is not subject to the Contract Disputes Act of 1978, as amended (41 U.S. Code, Sections 601-613).
