5152.233-4008 – Choice of Law and Disputes under ROK MND Contracts

CHOICE OF LAW AND DISPUTES, ROK MND CONTRACTS

(a) This contract shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the substantive laws of the United States of America. Failure of the parties to this contract to reach agreement on any request for equitable adjustment, claim, appeal, or action arising under or relating to this contract shall be a dispute to be resolved in accordance with U.S.

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 (e)(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. The contractor shall not submit to the U.S. Government, nor will the Contracting Officer accept, any disputes, demands, or claims for compensation for work, which the U.S.

Government has certified as completed.

(e) Procedures

(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.

(2) For contractor’s claims exceeding $100,000, the contractor shall submit with the claim a certification that –

(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, and the parties agree that there are no additional appeal rights. The parties waive their rights to pursue any claim, appeal, or action arising from or relating to this contract, before any other civil court, board, authority, or other adjudicative body.

(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).

Failure of the parties to this contract to reach agreement on any request for equitable adjustment, claim, appeal, or action arising under or relating to this contract shall be a dispute to be resolved only in accordance with this local clause, 5152.233-4008.
