# SECTION C - DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/WORK STATEMENT

## C.1 BACKGROUND

The John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe Center)
is an organization within the Research and Special Programs
Administration of the Department of Transportation (DOT). The Volpe
Center provides technical research and analysis services to the
Department and other organizations in connection with the
transportation-related components of their missions.

The Volpe Center is funded exclusively through a Working Capital Fund
(WCF). Sponsoring organizations transfer funds into the WCF in
accordance with General Working Agreements (GWA) or reimbursable
agreements. The agreement is implemented by Project Plan Agreements
(PPA) negotiated between the Volpe Center and sponsoring agencies. These
PPAs (or inter-agency project agreements) constitute the Volpe Center\'s
technical program. The Volpe Center\'s staffing strategy uses a
combination of Federal and contractor employees to meet the broad range
and quantity of skills needed to support sponsor projects. Through Task
order contracts and on-site technical support contracts, the Volpe
Center can respond to uncertain, long-range requirements of these
technical programs by establishing a \"pool\" of easily accessed
professional technical resources. This procurement will provide a range
of high technology capabilities and skills designed to meet Volpe Center
programmatic requirements in the area of Communications, Navigation and
Surveillance (CNS) Systems.

## C.2 SCOPE OF WORK

The Volpe Center\'s programmatic activities supported by the CNS
multiple award contracts fall primarily in the area of transportation
infrastructure, which is the foundation of facilities, equipment, and

address air and ground-based communications as well as surveillance and
control systems and technologies, including airborne and ground-based
wide area navigation; precision landing and guidance; air and land
traffic management systems; system requirements definition; alternatives
analyses and designs; sensors and systems development and deployment;
test, evaluation, operations, and maintenance of developmental or
prototype navigation, communications, and surveillance systems; and the
interfaces between these systems and the other elements of the
transportation infrastructure. Representative tasks under the CNS
contracts are described below in Section C.3.

When performed as an integral part of a broader Task order, the
Government may require the Contractor to plan and conduct workshops and
conferences sponsored by the Volpe Center to disseminate technical
information developed under that task order.

Although successful performance on task orders may require some
specialized expertise in a broad range of disciplines; e.g., economics,

## G.2 RESPONSIBILITY FOR CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION (MAR 2003)

[Contracting Officer]{.underline}: The Contracting Officer (CO) has the
overall responsibility for this contract. The CO alone, without
delegation, is authorized to take actions on behalf of the Government to

## G.4 TASK ORDERS ISSUED UNDER MULTIPLE AWARD CONTRACTS (MAY 2003)

A. All contractors shall be provided a fair opportunity to be considered
pursuant to the procedures set below for each task order to be issued
unless:

1.  The Government's need for the services ordered is of such unusual
    urgency that providing such opportunity to all contractors would
    result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling that need;

2.  Only one contractor is capable of providing the services required at
    the level of quality required because the services ordered are
    unique or highly specialized;

3.  The task order should be issued on a sole source basis in the
    interest of economy and efficiency because it is a logical follow-on
    to a task order already issued under this contract, provided that
    all awardees were given a fair opportunity to be considered for the
    original order;

4.  It is necessary to place the order with a particular contractor in
    order to satisfy a minimum order; or

5.  It is necessary to limit competition to meet preference program
    goals identified in FAR Part 19.

B. The Government's objective is to keep the task order procedures
simple and inexpensive for all parties to the contract. Multiple award
contractors will be provided a fair opportunity to be considered for
each order using the following procedures:

1.  The CO may issue written requests to the contractors requesting the
    submission of written and/or oral technical offers for complex tasks
    where a technical approach as well as resource availability and
    price/cost need to be considered.

2.  A written cost proposal will be required for all task orders to be
    issued under this contract. The cost proposal shall include detailed
    cost/price information for all resources required to accomplish the
    task (i.e., labor hours, rates, travel, incidental equipment, and
    other detailed cost information as deemed necessary). Offerors shall
    provide current, up-to-date copies of the negotiated provisional
    indirect rates for the contractor and any subcontractors with their
    offers for individual task orders unless this information has
    previously been provided to the CO. Offerors shall also provide an
    explanation of any significant difference (10 percent or more)
    between any labor rate proposed in the task order and the rate
    proposed under the base contract. The contractor shall explain any
    significant difference between the ratio of administrative hours to
    professional hours proposed for the task order versus the ratio of
    administrative hours proposed to professional hours for the base
    contract. The contractor must explain any significant inconsistency
    between the type and amount of other direct costs (ODCs) proposed
    for the task and the type and ODCs proposed under the base contract.

3.  Offerors who are not small businesses shall submit a Small Business,
    Small Disadvantaged Business, and Women-Owned Small Business
    Subcontracting Plan for each task order equal to or exceeding
    \$500,000. For those Offerors that have an approved Master
    Subcontracting Plan under the contract, only subcontracting
    information relating to the particular task order is required.

4.  Each TORFP will include the following: (a) the Statement of Work
    (SOW); (b) the evaluation criteria that will be used to evaluate the
    offers; (c) the components of the offer (technical and/or price/cost
    or other factors) to be submitted; (d) the format for
    submission; (e) the timeframe for submission of the offer; and (f)
    any other relevant instructions to the contractor.

5.  Upon receipt of a TORFP, the contractor may submit an offer to the
    CO which must include the technical, cost, and any other information
    requested. The proposal must be submitted by the time specified in
    the request.

6.  The Government shall have the right to select the contractor based
    on initial offers without discussions, but the Government reserves
    the right to hold discussions after evaluation of initial offers.

7.  If the Government determines that certain personnel are key to
    successful completion of a task order, they shall be designated as
    Key Personnel for the task order pursuant to TAR 1252.215-70,
    Section I.

8.  Upon request, the Government will debrief unsuccessful Offerors on a
    TORFP. Requests must be made within five (5) days of the notice of
    award for a specific task order.

## G.5 TASK ORDER OMBUDSMAN (JULY 2000)

Contractors wishing to issue complaints regarding the solicitation or
award of individual task orders shall submit such complaints to the Task
Order Ombudsman, Research and Special Programs Administration, 400 7th

or maximum value of the contract.

## G.6 TECHNICAL DIRECTION (MAR 2003)

Performance of the work hereunder shall be under the technical direction
of the COTR and TOCOTR on a specific task order. As used herein,
\"technical direction\" is limited to directions to the contractor that
clarify the specific description of work set forth in the task order.

such a nature as to cause an increase or decrease in the estimated cost
of the contract or task order, or otherwise affect any other provision
of this contract.

>
> **EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMANCE (100 Percent)**
>
> The contractor\'s contribution in the performance of the task is
> absolutely essential to the overall effort and far exceeds the
> contribution normally expected. Most importantly, within the scope and
> cost of the task order, the work is performed so expertly and
> thoroughly that a new dimension is added to the original requirement.
> Resulting deliverables are always provided on time or ahead of
> schedule, on or under cost estimates, and are of such superior
> technical quality that additional effort is not required. Substantial

> and personnel management is handled in a totally proficient and
> effective manner so as to maximize both the Government\'s return on
> investment and the contractor\'s own technical capabilities.
> Subcontracting goals are met and exceeded in all categories. The
> contractor displays quality management, including identification of
> and statistical process control for critical processes and
> subcontractor involvement in continuous process improvement.
>
> **GOOD PERFORMANCE (85 Percent)**
>
> The contractor\'s contribution in the performance of the task is a
> great asset to the overall effort and often exceeds the contribution
> normally expected. Within the scope and cost of the task order, work
> is performed with great technical skill and meets or occasionally
> exceeds the requirements of the task. The resulting deliverables are
> always of high quality, provided on or occasionally ahead of schedule,
> and within cost estimates. Substantial innovative thought and
> interaction between tasks is often evident. Subcontracting goals are
> met in all categories and exceeded in some of those categories.
>
> **SATISFACTORY PERFORMANCE (70 Percent)**
>
> The contractor\'s contribution in the performance of the task is a
> solid asset to the overall effort and is commensurate with the amount
> of contribution expected. Work is performed in a professional and
> thorough manner, and deliverables meet all contract requirements. Some
> deliverables may be delivered ahead of schedule while others may
> experience slight delays; however, overall, the contract schedule is
> met. Some creativity and innovative thought is demonstrated in the
> delivery of work. Cost and personnel performance are fully acceptable
> and any deviations are within what would be expected of an effective
> and professional execution of a technical support effort.
> Subcontracting goals are met in all categories.
>
> **MINIMALLY ACCEPTABLE PERFORMANCE (40 Percent)**
>
> The contractor\'s contribution in the performance of the task,
> although evident in the execution of the overall effort, is below that
> contribution normally expected for such an effort. Work is completed;
> however, additional Government assistance and direction is required to
> ensure completion. The resulting deliverables are often provided on
> schedule; however, some delays are experienced, and deliverables
> occasionally require correction or resubmission prior to acceptance.
> Some cost deviations of significant proportions may have occurred in
> conjunction with the re-submissions and delays. Subcontracting goals
> are not met. Overall, management of technical effort and personnel is
> less than what would be expected of a completely satisfactory effort.
>
> **UNSATISFACTORY (0 Percent)**
>
> Performance failed to satisfy the minimum contract or task
> requirements, technical or otherwise.

## G.10 PAYMENT OF FEE - COST-PLUS-FIXED-FEE (MAR 2003)

The Government will issue task orders which will include one of two
methods by which the contractor can earn total fixed fee. Requests for
provisional fee payment must be based on and be consistent with the
information stated in the contract or task financing request. However,
the request must be submitted separately. For term-type task orders, a
portion of any fixed fee specified in the task order will be paid on a
provisional basis. The amount of such payments will be based on the
ratio of direct professional labor hours expended during the covered
period to the direct professional labor hours specified in the task
order. Direct professional labor hours include only the labor categories
specified for the task order such as engineers, scientists, technicians,
statisticians, and programmers, and not administrative or support
personnel such as company management, typists, and key punch operators,
even though such administrative personnel are normally treated as direct
labor by the contractor. At the time of issuance, a term-type task order
will state the requirements for earning full fixed fee by including one
of the following clauses:

(1) The total fee for each term-type task shall be payable upon
    acceptance of the work by the Government and upon receipt of a
    written certification from the contractor that the level-of-effort
    specified in the task order has been expended. If fewer direct labor
    hours are provided than set forth in the task order, the fee will be
    adjusted downward for each hour not provided.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
(2) The total fee for each term-type task shall be payable upon
    acceptance of the work by the Government and upon receipt of a
    written certification from the Contractor that at least 90% of the
    level of effort specified in the task order has been expended. If
    the Contractor provides less than 90% of the level of effort
    specified in the task order, the fixed fee will be adjusted downward
    based on each hour not provided of the full level of effort
    specified. The Government may require the Contractor to provide
    additional effort up to 100% of the level of effort specified in the
    task order until the estimated cost has been reached without any
    increase in the fixed-fee.

On a completion-type task order, if performance is considered
satisfactory, the Government may make provisional fee payments subject
to FAR 52.216-8 on the basis of percentage of work completed, as
determined by the CO. The contractor shall be required to complete the
specified end product (e.g., a final report or working system) within
the estimated cost as a condition for payment of the entire fixed fee.
In the event the work cannot be completed within the estimated cost, the
Government may require more effort without any increase in fee, provided
the Government increases the estimated cost. If the Government chooses
not to increase the estimated cost, the fixed fee payable will based on
the CO's determination of the percentage of completion of the specified
end product(s).

Provisional payment of fee will be subject to other relevant clauses of
the contract including retainage.

## G.11 PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS (MAR 2003)

Performance evaluations shall be completed for each completed task order
over \$100, 000 and for selected tasks for lower amounts as determined
by the CO. Performance evaluations shall also be completed at least
annually for task orders that have a performance period in excess of one
year. (The performance evaluation form at
<http://cps.od.nih.gov/files/standardreport.doc>, or equivalent form,
shall be used.)

The CO or designee will submit the completed evaluation to the
contractor for comment. The contractor shall have 30 days in which to
respond. The Government will consider any comments provided by the
contractor before finalizing a Performance Evaluation Report and the
contractor's comments will be attached to the Report.

## G.12 VOUCHER REVIEW (MAR 2003)

The Government may at its sole discretion utilize a contractor to review
vouchers and supporting data submitted for payment under the provisions
of this contract. The contractor reviewing vouchers and supporting data
will perform this function in accordance with contract provisions which
prohibit disclosure of proprietary financial data or use of such data
for any purpose other than to perform accounts payable services.

## G.13 COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEMS (MAR 2003)

> **Cost Accounting System**
>
> The contractor shall maintain a job order cost accounting system that
> will accumulate costs incurred for each task order separately.
>
> **Task Order Proposal Preparation Cost**

TBD TBD TBD

During performance, the contractor must provide compensated and
uncompensated hours in at least the same ratio as shown in the above
schedule by labor category. If the contractor anticipates that the ratio
will not be achieved by the completion of the task order, the contractor
shall notify the CO in writing, identifying the expected shortfall. The
contractor must offer to furnish the total level-of-effort included in
the task order at no additional cost or fee. The notice shall be
provided sufficiently in advance of the completion of the task order to
allow the performance of all such hours within the task order term and
within the total estimated cost and fixed fee for the task order. If the
contractor fails to provide such notice sufficiently in advance, the CO
at his/her sole discretion shall have the option of:

(1) Extending the term of the task order and requiring that the
    contractor provide the total level-of-effort at no extra cost to the
    Government, or

(2) Reducing the cost to be reimbursed by an amount calculated by
    multiplying the number of hours of unworked uncompensated overtime
    by the average burdened labor rate for those labor categories and
    reducing the fixed-fee proportionately. The contractor shall
    indicate on its invoices and on any contract data items for
    cost/schedule status all hours worked, both compensated and
    uncompensated.

## G.14 INCREMENTAL FUNDING OF TASK ORDERS (MAR 2003)

# SECTION H - SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

## H.1 NON-PERSONAL SERVICES (DEC 1998)

No personal services as defined in Part 37 of the FAR shall be performed
under this contract. No contractor employee will be directly supervised
by the Government. All individual employee assignments and daily work
direction shall be given by the contractor's supervisor. If the
contractor believes any Government action or communication has been
given that would create a personal services relationship between the
Government and any contractor employee, the contractor shall promptly
notify the Contracting Officer of this communication or action.

The contractor shall not perform any inherently Governmental functions
under this contract. No contractor employee shall hold him or herself
out to be a Government employee, agent, or representative. In all
communications with third parties in connection with this contract,
contractor employees shall identify themselves as contractor employees
and specify the name of the company for which they work. In all
communications with other Government contractors in connection with this
contract, the contractor employee shall state that they have no
authority to in any way change the contract and that if the other
contractor believes this communication to be a direction to change their
contract, they should notify the Contracting Officer for that contract
and not carry out the direction until a clarification has been issued by
the Contracting Officer.

The contractor shall ensure that all of its employees working on this
contract are informed of the substance of this clause. Nothing in this
clause shall limit the Government\'s rights in any way under any other
provision of the contract, including those related to the Government\'s
right to inspect and accept the services to be performed under this
contract. The substance of this clause shall be included in all
subcontracts at any tier.

## H.2 GPO PRINTING REQUIREMENT (DEC 1998)

All printing funded by this contract will be accomplished in conformance
with Title 44, United States Code, regulations of Joint Committee on
Printing, applicable provisions of appropriation acts, and applicable
regulations issued by the Government Printing Office and the Department
of Transportation.

## H.3 CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITY (DEC 1998)

The Contractor shall without additional expense to the Government, be
responsible for all damage to persons or property that occur as a result
of its fault or negligence in connection with the prosecution of the
work, and shall be responsible for the proper care and protection of the
work performed. Breakage or loss of office equipment or other property
including that of a Government employee, which may occur in or about the
building as a result of a fault or negligence in the Contractor's
operations or fault or negligence in the actions of the Contractor's
agent, subcontractors or its employees shall be made good by the
Contractor at its own expense.

## H.4 SALES TAX EXEMPTION (MAY 1999)

The Volpe National Transportation Systems Center, as part of the
Department of Transportation, an agency of the United States, is an
exempt purchaser. Accordingly, all purchases of personal property by
this organization are exempt from state and local taxation.

The contractor will be provided with tax exemption certificates for the
purpose of obtaining an exemption under this procurement for materials
and equipment purchased under this procurement (see each individual task
order). Notwithstanding the terms of the Federal, State, and Local Taxes
clause, the contractor shall state separately on its vouchers the amount
of state sales tax, and the Government agrees to either to pay the
amount of the tax to the contractor or, where the amount of the tax
exceeds \$250.00, to provide evidence necessary to sustain the
exemption.

## H.5 LEVEL-OF-EFFORT NOTIFICATION (MAR 2003)

The contractor shall notify the CO or designee immediately in writing
whenever it has reason to believe that:

(1) The level-of-effort that the contractor expects to incur under any
    term-type task in the next thirty days, when added to the
    level-of-effort previously expended in the performance of that task
    order, will exceed 75 percent of the level established for that task
    order;

(2) The level-of-effort required to perform a particular task order will
    be greater than the level-of-effort established for the task order.

Either the \"Limitation of Cost\" or the \"Limitation of Funds" clause,
depending on whether the task order is fully funded or not, applies
independently to each task order under this contract and nothing in this
clause amends the rights or responsibilities of the parties hereto under
either of these two clauses. The notifications required by this clause
are separate and distinct from any specified in the \"Limitation of
Cost\" or \"Limitation of Funds\" clause.

## H.6 HANDLING OF DATA (MAY 1999)

The contractor and any of its subcontractors in performance of this
contract may have need for access to and use of various types of data
and information in the possession of the Government which the Government
obtained under conditions that restrict the Government\'s right to use
and disclose the data and information, or which may be of such a nature
that its dissemination or use other than in the performance of this
contract would be adverse to the interests of the Government or other
parties. Therefore, the contractor and its subcontractors agree to abide
by any restrictive use conditions on such data and not to:

(1) Knowingly disclose such data and information to others without
    written authorization from the CO, unless the Government has made
    the data and information available to the public; nor

(2) Use for any purpose other than the performance of this contract that
    data which bears a restrictive marking or legend.

In the event the work required to be performed under this contract
requires access to proprietary data of other companies, the contractor
shall obtain agreements from such other companies for such use unless
such data is provided or made available to the contractor by the
Government. Two copies of such company-to-company agreements shall be
furnished promptly to the CO for information only. These agreements
shall prescribe the scope of authorized use or disclosure, and other
terms and conditions to be agreed upon between the parties. It is agreed
by the contractor that any such data, whether obtained by the contractor
pursuant to the aforesaid agreement or from the Government, shall be
protected from unauthorized use or disclosure to any individual,
corporation, or organization so long as it remains proprietary.

Through formal training in company policy and procedures, the contractor
agrees to make employees aware of the absolute necessity to maintain the
confidentiality of data and information, as required above, and,
further, to be made aware of the sanctions which may be imposed for
divulging either the proprietary data of other companies or data that is
obtained from the Government to anyone except as authorized. The
contractor shall obtain from each employee engaged in any effort
connected with this contract an agreement in writing that shall in
substance provide that such employee will not during his/her employment
by the contractor, or thereafter, disclose to others or use for his/her
own benefit or the future benefit of any individual any trade secrets,
confidential information, or proprietary/restricted data (to include
Government \"For Official Use Only\") received in connection with the
work under this contract. The contractor shall furnish a sample form of
this agreement to the CO promptly after award.

The contractor agrees to hold the Government harmless and indemnify the
Government against any cost/loss resulting from the unauthorized use of
disclosure of third party data or software by the contractor, its
employees, subcontractors, or agents.

The contractor agrees to include the substance of this provision in all
subcontracts awarded under this contract. The CO will consider
case-by-case exceptions from this requirement for individual
subcontracts in the event that:

(1) The contractor considers the application of the prohibitions of this
    provision to be inappropriate and unnecessary in the case of a
    particular subcontractor;

(2) The subcontractor provides a written statement affirming absolute
    unwillingness to perform absent some relief from the substance of
    this prohibition;

(3) Use of an alternate subcontract source would reasonably detract from
    the quality of effort; and

(4) The contractor provides the CO timely written advance notice of
    these and any other extenuating circumstances.

Except as the CO specifically authorizes in writing, upon completion of
all work under this contract, the contractor shall return all such data
and information obtained from the Government, including all copies,
modifications, adaptations, or combinations thereof, to the CO. Data
obtained from another company shall be disposed of in accordance with
the contractor\'s agreement with that company, or, if the agreement
makes no provision for disposition, shall be returned to that company.
The contractor shall further certify in writing to the CO that all
copies, modifications, adaptations, or combinations of such data or
information which cannot reasonably be returned to the CO (or to a
company) have been deleted from the contractor\'s (and any
subcontractor\'s) records and destroyed.

These restrictions do not limit the contractor\'s (or subcontractor's)
right to use and disclose any data and information obtained from another
source without restriction.

As used herein, the term \"data\" has the meaning set forth in Federal
Acquisition Regulations, Clause 52.227-14, \"Rights in Data - General,\"
and includes, but is not limited to, computer software, as also defined
in Clause 52.227-14.

## H.7 TECHNOLOGY UPGRADES/REFRESHMENTS (DEC 1998)

After issuance of a task order, the Government may solicit, and the
contractor is encouraged to propose independently, technology
improvements to the hardware, software, specifications, or other
requirements of the task order. These improvements may be proposed to
save money, to improve performance, to save energy, to satisfy increased
data processing requirements, or for any other purpose which presents a
technological advantage to the Government. As part of the proposed
changes, the contractor shall submit a price or cost proposal to the CO
for evaluation. Those proposed technology improvements that are
acceptable to the Government will be processed as modifications to the
task order. As a minimum, the following information shall be submitted
by the contractor with each proposal:

(1) A description of the difference between the existing contract
    requirement and the proposed change, and the comparative advantages
    and disadvantages of each;

(2) Itemized requirements of the task order which must be changed if the
    proposal is adopted, and the proposed revision to the contract for
    each such change;

(3) An estimate of the changes in performance and price or cost, if any,
    that will result from adoption of the proposal;

(4) An evaluation of the effects the proposed changes would have on
    collateral costs to the Government, such as Government-furnished
    property costs, costs of related items, and costs of maintenance,
    operation and conversion (including Government application
    software);

(5) A statement of the time by which the task order modification
    adopting the proposal must be issued so as to obtain the maximum
    benefits of the changes during the remainder of the task order
    including supporting rationale; and

(6) Any effect on the task order completion time or delivery schedule
    shall be identified.

The Government will not be liable for proposal preparation costs or any
delay in acting upon any proposal submitted pursuant to this clause. The
contractor has a right to withdraw, in whole or in part, any proposal
not accepted by the Government within the period specified in the
proposal. The decision of the CO as to the acceptance of any such
proposal under this contract is final and not subject to the
\"Disputes\" clause of this contract.

If the Government wishes to test and evaluate any item(s) proposed, the
CO will issue written directions to the contractor specifying what
item(s) will be tested, where and when the item(s) will be tested, to
whom the item(s) is to be delivered, and the number of days (not to
exceed 90 calendar days) that the item will be tested.

The CO may accept any proposal submitted pursuant to this clause by
giving the contractor written notice thereof. This written notice will
be given by issuance of a modification to the task order. Unless and
until a modification is executed to incorporate a proposal under this
contract, the contractor shall remain obligated to perform in accordance
with the requirements, terms and conditions of the existing task order.

If a proposal submitted pursuant to this clause is accepted and applied
to this contract, the equitable adjustment increasing or decreasing the
price, Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee, or Cost-Plus-Award-Fee shall be in
accordance with the procedures of the applicable \"Changes\" clause. The
resulting task order modification will state that it is made pursuant to
this clause.

## H.8 INSURANCE (MAR 2003)

See Section I - Contract Clause FAR 52.228-7, \"Insurance-Liability to
Third Persons (MAR 1996).\"

The contractor shall secure, pay the premiums for and keep in force
until the expiration of this contract, and any renewal thereof, adequate
insurance as provided below, such insurance to specifically include
liability assumed by the contractor under this contract.

(1) Workman\'s compensation insurance as required by law of the State.

(2) Comprehensive bodily injury liability insurance with limits of not
    less than \$500,000 for each accident.

(3) Property damage liability with a limit of not less than \$100,000
    for each accident.

(4) Automotive bodily injury liability insurance with limits of not less
    than \$200,000 for each person and \$500,000 for each accident, and
    property damage liability insurance, with a limit of not less than
    \$40,000 for each accident.

Each policy of insurance shall contain an endorsement that any
cancellation or material change in the coverage adversely affecting the
Government\'s interest shall not be effective unless the insurer or the
contractor gives written notice of cancellation or change to the CO at
least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the aforementioned actions.
When the coverage is provided by self-insurance, the contractor shall
not change or decrease the coverage without the CO\'s prior approval.

A certificate of each policy of insurance shall be furnished to the CO
within ten (10) days after notice of award certifying, among other
things, that the policy contains the aforesaid endorsement. The
insurance companies providing the above insurance shall be satisfactory
to the Government. Notices of policy changes shall be furnished to the
CO.

## H.9 MAXIMUM FEE/PROFIT (MAR 2003)

Contractors shall propose an appropriate rate of fee or profit depending
on the risk associated with individual task orders, including the risk
associated with cost and other factors. However, the maximum amount of
fixed fee, award fee or profit that a contractor may propose for any
non-competitive task order will be calculated by applying the factors
below to the appropriate costs in the task order proposal. The factors
below are from Schedule 5 to be included in the Offeror's proposal.
Contractors may propose less than the calculated amount. The overall
fixed fee on any task order may not exceed the statutory limit of 10
percent.

This clause must be included in subcontracts except consultant-type
labor hour subcontracts.

## H.10 SUBCONTRACT APPROVAL (JUN 2003)

Since this is an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ)
contract, most subcontracts for professional labor shall also be placed
on an IDIQ basis. Only first-tier subcontractors are allowed unless the
contractor can provide a strong technical rationale for inclusion of a
second-tier subcontract and demonstrate what steps have been taken to
prevent layering of costs and profit.

The contractor shall follow the procedures specified in Part 44 of the
FAR and FAR Clauses 52.244-1, 52-244-2, and 52.244-5 when providing
advance notification or requesting consent to new subcontracts. New
subcontracts may be necessary for professional labor in cases where it
is clearly evident to the CO that the proposed new subcontract will
provide a capability that is both required to perform work described in
the contract and is not available from any of the contractor\'s existing
team of subcontractors. In such cases, task order proposals must include
at least 75 percent (labor hours) of the contractor's current team (the
Prime and previously authorized subcontracts). The remaining 25 percent
may include new subcontracts which have not been previously authorized.
Task order proposals failing to comply with this minimum will be
rejected.

## H.11 SECURITY AND POSITION SENSITIVITY DESIGNATIONS (MAR 2003)

Portions of the work under Section C will require contract personnel
with security clearances at Confidential or Secret levels, and in some

possess a Top Secret facility clearance in accordance with the
[Industrial Security Regulation (DOD 5220.22R)]{.underline} for the
receipt, generation, and storage of classified material. The Contractor
shall be responsible for obtaining appropriate security clearance from
the Defense Investigative Service and for ensuring compliance by its
employees and subcontractors(s) with the security regulations of the
Government installation or Contractor (or subcontractor) facility where
work is to be performed (See Section J.2 -- DOD CONTRACT SECURITY

5220.22R) for the receipt, generation, and storage of classified
material. The contractor must possess the clearance at time of task
order award. The contractor shall be responsible for ensuring compliance
by its employees and subcontractors with the security regulations of the
Government installation or other facility where work is to be performed.

## H.12 SEAT BELT USE POLICIES AND PROGRAMS (JAN 1999)

In accordance with Executive Order 13043, the recipient of this award is
encouraged to adopt and enforce on-the-job seat belt use policies and

It may be necessary under this contract for the CO to allow the
contractor to acquire or lease equipment to perform certain tasks under
the contract. The contractor is required to submit requests to acquire
equipment to the Contracting Officer for approval. The request shall
include at least the following information: (1) provide the reason why
the contractor cannot provide the equipment from its own inventory, (2)
provide the contractor's cost analysis considering whether to lease or
purchase the equipment (See FAR 7.401), and (3) provide the contractor's

CLAUSES**

## I.8 1252.209-70 DISCLOSURE OF CONFLICTS OF INTEREST (OCT 1994)

It is the Department of Transportation\'s (DOT) policy to award
contracts to only those offerors whose objectivity is not impaired
because of any related past, present, or planned interest, financial or
otherwise, in organizations regulated by DOT or in organizations whose
interests may be substantially affected by Departmental activities.
Based on this policy:

> \(a\) The Offeror shall provide a statement in its proposal which
> describes in a concise manner all past, present or planned
> organizational, financial, contractual or other interest(s) with an
> organization regulated by DOT, or with an organization whose interests
> may be substantially affected by Departmental activities, and which is
> related to the work under this solicitation. The interest(s) described
> shall include those of the proposer, its affiliates, proposed
> consultants, proposed subcontractors and key personnel of any of the
> above. Past interest shall be limited to within one year of the date
> of the offeror\'s Technical Proposal. Key personnel shall include any
> person owning more than 20% interest in the Offeror, and the
> offeror\'s corporate officers, its senior managers and any employee
> who is responsible for making a decision or taking an action on this
> contract where the decision or action can have an economic or other
> impact on the interests of a regulated or affected organization.
>
> \(b\) The Offeror shall describe in detail why it believes, in light
> of the interest(s) identified in (a) above, that performance of the
> proposed contract can be accomplished in an impartial and objective
> manner.
>
> \(c\) In the absence of any relevant interest identified in (a) above,
> the Offeror shall submit in its proposal a statement certifying that
> to its best knowledge and belief no affiliation exists relevant to
> possible conflicts of interest. The Offeror must obtain the same
> information from potential subcontractors prior to award of a
> subcontract.
>
> \(d\) The Contracting Officer will review the statement submitted and
> may require additional relevant information from the Offeror. All such
> information, and any other relevant information known to DOT, will be
> used to determine whether an award to the Offeror may create a
> conflict of interest. If any such conflict of interest is found to
> exist, the Contracting Officer may
>
> \(1\) disqualify the Offeror, or
>
> \(2\) Determine that it is otherwise in the best interest of the
> United States to contract with the Offeror and include appropriate
> provisions to mitigate or avoid such conflict in the contract awarded.
>
> \(e\) The refusal to provide the disclosure or representation, or any
> additional information required, may result in disqualification of the
> Offeror for award. If nondisclosure or misrepresentation is discovered
> after award, the resulting contract may be terminated. If after award
> the Contractor discovers a conflict of interest with respect to the
> contract awarded as a result of this solicitation, which could not
> reasonably have been know prior to award, an immediate and full
> disclosure shall be made in writing to the Contracting Officer. The
> disclosure shall include a full description of the conflict, a
> description of the action the contractor has taken, or proposes to
> take, to avoid or mitigate such conflict. The Contracting Officer may,
> however, terminate the contract for convenience if he or she deems
> that termination is in the best interest of the Government.
