## Part I Section F

**Deliveries Or Performance**

# F.1 Term Of Contract

(a) The Term of Contract is from the award date through September 30,
    2014, unless the term is reduced or the contract is terminated in
    accordance with the provisions of this contract.

(b) Contract Transition is expected to be between November 15, 2004 and
    January 31, 2005. (The Contracting Officer may revise the transition
    period.) Contract takeover date is expected to be February 1, 2005.

(c) The period of performance may be extended for period(s) not to
    exceed 5 years, in accordance with F.3 below. If all option periods
    are exercised, the total period of performance shall continue
    through September 30, 2019.

# F.2 Principal Place Of Performance

> The work under this Contract is to be carried out in a variety of
> locations, but the principal place of performance shall be in the
> vicinity of Idaho Falls, ID.

# F.3 FAR 52.217-9 \-- Option To Extend The Term Of The Contract (MAR 2000)

> \(a\) The Government may extend the term of this contract by written
> notice to the Contractor within 30 days before the contract expires;
> provided that the Government gives the Contractor a preliminary
> written notice of its intent to extend at least 180 days before the
> contract expires. The preliminary notice does not commit the
> Government to an extension.
>
> \(b\) If the Government exercises this option, the extended contract
> shall be considered to include this option clause.
>
> \(c\) The total duration of this contract, including the exercise of
> any options under this clause, shall not exceed September 30, 2019.

# F.4 Special Assessment of Contractor Performance

> \(a\) Consistent with applicable acquisition regulations and clause
> F.1 of this contract, it is DOE's intention to have a long-term
> contractual relationship with the Contractor for the management and
> operation of the INL as a Federally Funded Research and Development
> Center (FFRDC). Achieving the full contract term will, however, be
> dependent on the Contractor's performance under the contract.

\(b\) DOE shall conduct a Special Assessment of the Contractor's overall
performance, to date, by September 30, 2008. This assessment shall
include (1) performance against established performance standards as a
part of the Performance Evaluation Measurement Plan, required by the
Section I clause entitled "Total Available Fee: Base Fee Amount and
Performance Fee," and (2) performance of contract requirements not
incentivized through the Performance Evaluation Measurement Plan
including achievement and/or progress toward the objectives of the
overall Statement of Work. This Special Assessment is in addition to the
periodic performance appraisals and evaluations otherwise required by
this Contract.

\(c\) If the results of the Special Assessment indicate, in DOE's sole
discretion, that the level of the Contractor's performance has not met
performance expectations, the contract term may be reduced unilaterally
by the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer shall provide
written notice to the Contractor at least 180 days prior to the contract
expiration date. The provisions of the clause in Section I entitled
"Continuity of Services" (FAR 52.237-3) shall apply in addition to the
provisions of this clause F.4.

\(d\) If the contract term is reduced by the Contracting Officer in
accordance with the provisions of this clause F.4, the provisions of the
Section I clause entitled, "Termination" shall not apply to the
reduction in the contract term. The available fee under clause B.2,
"Fee" shall be adjusted accordingly consistent with the reduced term of
the contract.

\(e\) This clause F.4 does not affect DOE's rights to invoke the
Termination clause of the contract at any time during the term of the
contract.

\(f\) DOE is currently developing a standard policy, procedures, and
evaluation methodology for assessing its management and operating
contractors for FFRDC's. When this new DOE policy is instituted, the
parties to this contract may enter into agreement to modify this
contract to incorporate such aspects of the DOE policy as may be
appropriate.

# F.5 FAR 52.242-15 \-- Stop-Work Order (AUG 1989) (Alternate 1)(APR 1984)

> \(a\) The Contracting Officer may, at any time, by written order to
> the Contractor, require the Contractor to stop all, or any part, of
> the work called for by this contract for a period of 90 days after the
> order is delivered to the Contractor, and for any further period to
> which the parties may agree. The order shall be specifically
> identified as a stop-work order issued under this clause. Upon receipt
> of the order, the Contractor shall immediately comply with its terms
> and take all reasonable steps to minimize the incurrence of costs
> allocable to the work covered by the order during the period of work
> stoppage. Within a period of 90 days after a stop-work is delivered to
> the Contractor, or within any extension of that period to which the
> parties shall have agreed, the Contracting Officer shall either --
>
> \(1\) Cancel the stop-work order; or
>
> \(2\) Terminate the work covered by the order as provided in the
> Termination clause of this contract.
>
> \(b\) If a stop-work order issued under this clause is canceled or the
> period of the order or any extension thereof expires, the Contractor
> shall resume work. The Contracting Officer shall make an equitable
> adjustment in the delivery schedule, the estimated cost, the fee, or a
> combination thereof, and in any other terms of the contract that may
> be affected; and the contract shall be modified, in writing,
> accordingly, if --
>
> \(1\) The stop-work order results in an increase in the time required
> for, or in the Contractor\'s cost properly allocable to, the
> performance of any part of this contract; and
>
> \(2\) The Contractor asserts its right to the adjustment within 30
> days after the end of the period of work stoppage; provided, that, if
> the Contracting Officer decides the facts justify the action, the
> Contracting Officer may receive and act upon the claim submitted at
> any time before final payment under this contract.
>
> \(c\) If a stop-work order is not canceled and the work covered by the
> order is terminated for the convenience of the Government, the
> Contracting Officer shall allow reasonable costs resulting from the
> stop-work order in arriving at the termination settlement.
>
> \(d\) If a stop-work order is not canceled and the work covered by the
> order is terminated for default, the Contracting Officer shall allow,
> by equitable adjustment or otherwise, reasonable costs resulting from
> the stop-work order.
