Item 0003 - ENGINEERING SERVICES (NAVSEA) (MAY 1998)

The Contractor shall, at the option of the Government, furnish 10,000 man-hours of the services of qualified engineers to perform Engineering Support for follow-on investigations and hardware evaluations to determine the effectiveness of the new technologies developed herein. A requirement of a mix of lead, senior, and intermediate level personnel in the ratio of 1:2:1 is anticipated, although the Contractor’s requirement is to deliver the total amount of support in such mix as required. The nature of the services to be performed shall be non-severable from the scope of the remaining aspects of the contract. As such, the manner of work to be performed under this item shall be intimately related to the core scope of the contract, shall form a logical extension of the work otherwise performed (such as completion of testing of articles developed or extending the performance capability of the articles developed), or shall provide amplifying details of the articles or technologies beyond that otherwise required herein and shall result in a specific end-product, e.g. a report. The services shall cover the investigation of potential alternative technologies on suitable demonstration vehicles, working in support of NAVSEA objectives. This effort shall be undertaken only as directed by written technical instructions issued by the COR.

The contractor shall furnish materials and subcontracting incidental to the engineering services as necessary to perform the efforts specified by PMS-320. The amount of materials and subcontracting to be provided shall be equal or less than $100,000 of direct costs. Incidental materials and subcontracting shall be fee bearing.

The engineering services shall be performed within the limits, if any, as to place(s) and period(s) specified there for, as authorized by the COR.

Each time services are performed, the engineer(s) shall obtain a certification of performance from a responsible U.S. Government official at the activity where the services were performed, citing tasks satisfactorily performed and hours worked each day.

The maximum liability of the Government for each engineering services item shall not exceed the amount set forth in the Schedule, or the amount obligated whichever is less. If, at any time, the Contractor has reason to believe that the amounts it expects to incur in the performance of each engineering services item in the next succeeding sixty (60) days, when added to all amounts previously incurred, will exceed seventy-five percent (75%) of the amount then set forth in the Schedule; or if, at any time, the Contractor has reason to believe that the man days and/or amount for the full performance of each engineering services item will be greater than or substantially less than that set forth in the Schedule, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing, giving its revised estimate of the man days and/or amount for the performance of said item. The Contractor shall not exceed the obligated amount for each engineering services item, unless and until the Contracting Officer has increased such amount in writing.

In the event the Government does not designate time(s) and place(s) sufficient for performance of the total quantity of engineering services set forth in the Schedule within the period(s) provided there for, those services not furnished shall be deemed to be terminated for the convenience of the Government at no cost to the Government. Such termination shall be evidenced by a written document signed by the Contracting Officer and mailed or otherwise furnished to the Contractor.

5252.216-9122 LEVEL OF EFFORT (DEC 2000)

(a) The Contractor agrees to provide the total level of effort specified in the next sentence in performance of the work described in Sections B and C of this contract. The total level of effort for the performance of this contract shall be 10,000 total man-hours of direct labor, including subcontractor direct labor for those subcontractors specifically identified in the Contractor’s proposal as having hours included in the proposed level of effort.

(b) Of the total man-hours of direct labor set forth above, it is estimated that 0 (Offeror to fill-in) man-hours are uncompensated effort.

Uncompensated effort is defined as hours provided by personnel in excess of 40 hours per week without additional compensation for such excess work. All other effort is defined as compensated effort. If no effort is indicated in the first sentence of this paragraph, uncompensated effort performed by the Contractor shall not be counted in fulfillment of the level of effort obligations under this contract.

(c) Effort performed in fulfilling the total level of effort obligations specified above shall only include effort performed in direct support of this contract and shall not include time and effort expended on such things as (local travel to and from an employee’s usual work location), uncompensated effort while on travel status, truncated lunch periods, work (actual or inferred) at an employee’s residence or other non-work locations (except as provided in paragraph (j) below), or other time and effort which does not have a specific and direct contribution to the tasks described in Sections B and C.

(d) The level of effort for this contract shall be expended at an average rate of approximately hours per week. It is understood and agreed that the rate of man-hours per month may fluctuate in pursuit of the technical objective, provided such fluctuation does not result in the use of the total man-hours of effort prior to the expiration of the term hereof, except as provided in the following paragraph.

(e) If, during the term hereof, the Contractor finds it necessary to accelerate the expenditure of direct labor to such an extent that the total man-hours of effort specified above would be used prior to the expiration of the term, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing setting forth the acceleration required, the probable benefits which would result, and an offer to undertake the acceleration at no increase in the estimated cost or fee together with an offer, setting forth a proposed level of effort, cost breakdown, and proposed fee, for continuation of the work until expiration of the term hereof. The offer shall provide that the work proposed will be subject to the terms and conditions of this contract and any additions or changes required by then current law, regulations, or directives, and that the offer, with a written notice of acceptance by the Contracting Officer, shall constitute a binding contract. The Contractor shall not accelerate any effort until receipt of such written approval by the Contracting Officer. Any agreement to accelerate will be formalized by contract modification.

(f) The Contracting Officer may, by written order, direct the Contractor to accelerate the expenditure of direct labor such that the total man-hours of effort specified in paragraph (a) above would be used prior to the expiration of the term. This order shall specify the acceleration required and the resulting revised term. The Contractor shall acknowledge this order within five days of receipt.

(g) If the total level of effort specified in paragraph (a) above is not provided by the Contractor during the period of this contract, the Contracting Officer, at its sole discretion, shall either (i) reduce the fee of this contract as follows:

Fee Reduction = Fee (Required XXX - Expended XXX)
	Required XXX

or (ii) subject to the provisions of the clause of this contract entitled “LIMITATION OF COST” (FAR 52.232-20) or “LIMITATION OF COST (FACILITIES)” (FAR 52.232-21), as applicable, require the Contractor to continue to perform the work until the total number of man-hours of direct labor specified in paragraph (a) above shall have been expended, at no increase in the fee of this contract.

(h) The Contractor shall provide and maintain an accounting system, acceptable to the Administrative Contracting Officer and the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA), which collects costs incurred and effort (compensated and uncompensated, if any) provided in fulfillment of the level of effort obligations of this contract. The Contractor shall indicate on each invoice the total level of effort claimed during the period covered by the invoice, separately identifying compensated effort and uncompensated effort, if any.

(i) Within 45 days after completion of the work under each separately identified period of performance hereunder, the Contractor shall submit the following information in writing to the Contracting Officer with copies to the cognizant Contract Administration Office and to the DCAA office to which vouchers are submitted: (1) the total number of man-hours of direct labor expended during the applicable period; (2) a breakdown of this total showing the number of man-hours expended in each direct labor classification and associated direct and indirect costs; (3) a breakdown of other costs incurred; and (4) the Contractor’s estimate of the total allowable cost incurred under the contract for the period. Within 45 days after completion of the work under the contract, the Contractor shall submit, in addition, in the case of a cost underrun; (5) the amount by which the estimated cost of this contract may be

reduced to recover excess funds and, in the case of an underrun in hours specified as the total level of effort; and (6) a calculation of the appropriate fee reduction in accordance with this clause. All submissions shall include subcontractor information.

(j) Unless the Contracting Officer determines that alternative worksite arrangements are detrimental to contract performance, the Contractor may perform up to 10% of the hours at an alternative worksite, provided the Contractor has a company-approved alternative worksite plan. The primary worksite is the traditional “main office” worksite. An alternative worksite means an employee’s residence or a telecommuting center. A telecommuting center is a geographically convenient office setting as an alternative to an employee’s main office. The Government reserves the right to review the Contractor’s alternative worksite plan. In the event performance becomes unacceptable, the Contractor will be prohibited from counting the hours performed at the alternative worksite in fulfilling the total level of effort obligations of the contract. Regardless of work location, all contract terms and conditions, including security requirements and labor laws, remain in effect. The Government shall not incur any additional cost nor provide additional equipment for contract performance as a result of the Contractor’s election to implement an alternative worksite plan.

(k) Notwithstanding any of the provisions in the above paragraphs, the Contractor may furnish man-hours up to five percent in excess of the total man-hours specified in paragraph (a) above, provided that the additional effort is furnished within the term hereof, and provided further that no increase in the estimated cost or fee is required.

(a)(1) The estimated cost and fee, if any, and delivery schedule set forth in this contract contemplate the rent free use of the facilities identified in paragraph (b) below and in paragraph (d) (applicable only for research and development contracts) if such paragraph (d) is added to this requirement. If the Government limits or terminates the Contractor’s rent free use of said facilities, and such action affects the ability of the Contractor to perform this contract in accordance with its terms and conditions, then an equitable adjustment in the estimated cost and fee, if any, or delivery schedule, or both, shall be made pursuant to the clause entitled “CHANGES- COST-REIMBURSEMENT” (FAR 52.243 2), provided, however, that if the limitation or termination is due to failure by the Contractor to perform its obligations under this contract, the Contractor shall be entitled only to such adjustment as the Contracting Officer determines as a fact to be appropriate under the circumstances.

(2) For the purposes of this requirement, facilities means industrial property (other than material, special tooling, military property, and special test equipment) for production, maintenance, research, development, or test, including real property and rights therein, buildings, structures, improvements, and plant equipment as defined in FAR Part 45.

(b) The Contractor is authorized to acquire or use the facilities described below upon the prior written approval of the cognizant Contract Administration Office, which shall determine that such facilities are required to carry out the work provided for by this contract. Immediately upon delivery of each item of approved facilities to the Contractor’s plant, the Contractor shall notify the cognizant Contract Administration Office of the receipt of such facilities owned by the Government, which shall be made a part of the plant account assigned to the Contractor at that location.

DESCRIPTION AND IDENTITY OF FACILITIES

(c)(1) In the event that the cumulative total acquisition costs (actual or estimated) of all facilities provided by the Naval Sea Systems Command to the Contractor at the same plant or general location (including the facilities to be furnished hereunder) does not exceed $50,000, such facilities shall be provided to the Contractor as Government Property subject to and in accordance with the clause entitled “GOVERNMENT PROPERTY” (FAR 52.245 1), unless there is in existence a facilities management contract at the same plant or general location.

(2) In the event there is in existence a facilities management contract effective at the same plant or general location, the facilities provided hereunder shall be made subject to all the terms and conditions of the facilities management contract.

(d) In addition to those items of facilities identified in paragraph (b) above, the following items may be required for the complete performance of the work called for by this contract:

(a) Exceptions from cost or pricing data. (1) In lieu of submitting cost or pricing data for modifications under this contract, for price adjustments expected to exceed the threshold set forth at FAR 15.403-4 on the date of the agreement on price or the date of the award, whichever is later, the Contractor may submit a written request for exception by submitting the information described in the following subparagraphs. The Contracting Officer may require additional supporting information, but only to the extent necessary to determine whether an exception should be granted, and whether the price is fair and reasonable—

(i) Identification of the law or regulation establishing the price offered. If the price is controlled under law by periodic rulings, reviews, or similar actions of a governmental body, attach a copy of the controlling document, unless it was previously submitted to the contracting office.

(ii) Information on modifications of contracts or subcontracts for commercial items. (A) If—

(1) The original contract or subcontract was granted an exception from cost or pricing data requirements because the price agreed upon was based on adequate price competition or prices set by law or regulation, or was a contract or subcontract for the acquisition of a commercial item; and

(2) The modification (to the contract or subcontract) is not exempted based on one of these exceptions, then the Contractor may provide information to establish that the modification would not change the contract or subcontract from a contract or subcontract for the acquisition of a commercial item to a contract or subcontract for the acquisition of an item other than a commercial item.

(B) For a commercial item exception, the Contractor shall provide, at a minimum, information on prices at which the same item or similar items have previously been sold that is adequate for evaluating the reasonableness of the price of the modification. Such information may include—

(1) For catalog items, a copy of or identification of the catalog and its date, or the appropriate pages for the offered items, or a statement that the catalog is on file in the buying office to which the proposal is being submitted. Provide a copy or describe current discount policies and price lists (published or unpublished), e.g., wholesale, original equipment manufacturer, or reseller. Also explain the basis of each offered price and its relationship to the established catalog price, including how the proposed price relates to the price of recent sales in quantities similar to the proposed quantities.

(2) For market-priced items, the source and date or period of the market quotation or other basis for market price, the base amount, and applicable discounts. In addition, describe the nature of the market.

(3) For items included on an active Federal Supply Service Multiple Award Schedule contract, proof that an exception has been granted for the schedule item.

(2) The Contractor grants the Contracting Officer or an authorized representative the right to examine, at any time before award, books, records, documents, or other directly pertinent records to verify any request for an exception under this clause, and the reasonableness of price. For items priced using catalog or market prices, or law or regulation , access does not extend to cost or profit information or other data relevant solely to the Contractor’s determination of the prices to be offered in the catalog or marketplace.

(b) Requirements for cost or pricing data. If the Contractor is not granted an exception from the requirement to submit cost or pricing data, the following applies:

(1) The Contractor shall submit cost or pricing data and supporting attachments in accordance with Table 15-2 of FAR 15.408.

As soon as practicable after agreement on price, but before award (except for unpriced actions), the Contractor shall submit a Certificate of Current Cost or Pricing Data, as prescribed by FAR 15.406-2.

(2) Demonstrate the effect that denial of the request will have on the contract delivery or performance schedule;

(3) Identify the extent to which approval of overtime would affect the performance or payments in connection with other Government contracts, together with identification of each affected contract; and

52.222-39 NOTIFICATION OF EMPLOYEE RIGHTS CONCERNING PAYMENT OF UNION DUES OR FEES (DEC 2004)

(a) Definition. As used in this clause—

United States means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Wake Island.

(b) Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this clause, during the term of this contract, the Contractor shall post a notice, in the form of a poster, informing employees of their rights concerning union membership and payment of union dues and fees, in conspicuous places in and about all its plants and offices, including all places where notices to employees are customarily posted. The notice shall include the following information (except that the information pertaining to National Labor Relations Board shall not be included in notices posted in the plants or offices of carriers subject to the Railway Labor Act, as amended (45 U.S.C. 151-188)).

Notice to Employees

Under Federal law, employees cannot be required to join a union or maintain membership in a union in order to retain their jobs. Under certain conditions, the law permits a union and an employer to enter into a union-security agreement requiring employees to pay uniform periodic dues and initiation fees. However, employees who are not union members can object to the use of their payments for certain purposes and can only be required to pay their share of union costs relating to collective bargaining, contract administration, and grievance adjustment.

If you do not want to pay that portion of dues or fees used to support activities not related to collective bargaining, contract administration, or grievance adjustment, you are entitled to an appropriate reduction in your payment. If you believe that you have been required to pay dues or fees used in part to support activities not related to collective bargaining, contract administration, or grievance adjustment, you may be entitled to a refund and to an appropriate reduction in future payments.

For further information concerning your rights, you may wish to contact the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) either at one of its Regional offices or at the following address or toll free number:

If granted written permission by the Contracting Officer, or if it is specifically provided for in the Schedule, the Contractor may use the Government property (except material) for a rental fee for work other than that provided in paragraph (b) of this clause. Authorizing such use of the Government property does not waive any rights of the Government to terminate the Contractor’s right to use the Government property. The rental fee shall be determined in accordance with the following paragraphs.

(d) General. (1) Rental requests shall be submitted to the Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO), identify the property for which rental is requested, propose a rental period, and compute an estimated rental charge by using the Contractor’s best estimate of rental time in the formulae described in paragraph (e) of this clause.

(2) The Contractor shall not use Government property for nongovernmental purposes, including Independent Research and Development, until a rental charge for real property, or estimated rental charge for other property, is agreed upon. Rented property shall be used only on a non-interference basis.

(e) Rental charge.—

(1) Real property and associated fixtures.

(i) The Contractor shall obtain, at its expense, a property appraisal from an independent licensed, accredited, or certified appraiser that computes a monthly, daily, or hourly rental rate for comparable commercial property. The appraisal may be used to compute rentals under this clause throughout its effective period or, if an effective period is not stated in the appraisal, for one year following the date the appraisal was performed. The Contractor shall submit the appraisal to the ACO at least 30 days prior to the date the property is needed for nongovernmental use. Except as

provided in paragraph (e)(1)(iii) of this clause, the ACO shall use the appraisal rental rate to determine a reasonable rental charge.

(ii) Rental charges shall be determined by multiplying the rental time by the appraisal rental rate expressed as a rate per hour. Monthly or daily appraisal rental rates shall be divided by 720 or 24, respectively, to determine an hourly rental rate.

(iii) When the ACO believes the appraisal rental rate is unreasonable, the ACO shall promptly notify the Contractor. The parties may agree on an alternative means for computing a reasonable rental charge.

(iv) The Contractor shall obtain, at its expense, additional property appraisals in the same manner as provided in paragraph (e)(1)(i) if the effective period has expired and the Contractor desires the continued use of property for nongovernmental use. The Contractor may obtain additional appraisals within the effective period of the current appraisal if the market prices decrease substantially.

(2) Other Government property. The Contractor may elect to compute the rental charge using the appraisal method described in paragraph (e)(1) of this clause subject to the constraints therein or the following formula in which rental time shall be expressed in increments of not less than one hour with portions of hours rounded to the next higher hour: The rental charge is calculated by multiplying 2 percent of the acquisition cost by the hours of rental time, and dividing by 720.

(3) Alternative methodology. The Contractor may request consideration of an alternative basis for computing the rental charge if it considers the monthly rental rate or a time-based rental unreasonable or impractical.

(f) Rental payments. (1) Rent is due 60 days following completion of the rental period or as otherwise specified in the contract. The Contractor shall compute the rental due, and furnish records or other supporting data in sufficient detail to permit the ACO to verify the rental time and computation. Payment shall be made by check payable to the Treasurer of the United States and sent to the contract administration office identified in this contract, unless otherwise specified by the Contracting Officer.

(2) Interest will be charged if payment is not made by the date specified in paragraph (f)(1) of this clause. Interest will accrue at the ``Renegotiation Board Interest Rate’’ (published in the Federal Register semiannually on or about January 1\st\ and July 1\st\) for the period in which the rent is due.

(3) The Government’s acceptance of any rental payment under this clause, in whole or in part, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of any rights it may have against the Contractor stemming from the Contractor’s unauthorized use of Government property or any other failure to perform this contract according to its terms.

(g) Use revocation. At any time during the rental period, the Government may revoke nongovernmental use authorization and require the Contractor, at the Contractor’s expense, to return the property to the Government, restore the property to its pre-rental condition (less normal wear and tear), or both.

(h) Unauthorized use. The unauthorized use of Government property can subject a person to fines, imprisonment, or both, under 18 U.S.C. 641.
