Emergency Task Order Procedures. Emergency work is defined as work of such an unusual or compelling nature that the NIH would suffer serious or irreparable damage if the work is not completed immediately. The Government reserves the right to award an emergency Task Order to any IDIQ contract holder related to this IDIQ. Emergency work is received by the Government Call Center through the MS2000 system. The Contracting Officer Representative (XXX) notifies the Contractor telephonically of the nature and the location of the emergency; and, the Contractor, upon receipt of a Contracting Officer's verbal or written Notice to Proceed (NTP) shall mobilize without delay in response to such calls be on- site and ready to commence work at the designated time arranged by the COR. Where the Contract is specifically directed to perform designated emergency work, the Contractor shall be entitled to add a surcharge to his standard (non-premium time) labor rates when work is performed outside of regular work hours. For emergency work outside normal work hours, the Contractor shall use the fixed labor rates for Evening/Weekend work as identified in the Fixed Labor Rate tables in Section B of the contract. The COR will accompany the Contractor to inspect finished emergency Task Order work upon notification by the Contractor that work is complete before the Contractor is released.
