B.2 [TYPE OF CONTRACT]{.underline}

This is a firm fixed price contract payable entirely in the currency

the contractor\'s failure to properly estimate or accurately predict the
cost or difficulty of achieving the results required. The Government
will not adjust the contract price due to fluctuations in currency
exchange rates. The Government will only make changes in the contract
price or time to complete due to changes made by the Government in the
work to be performed, or by delays caused by the Government.

The Government will make payments based on quantities and unit prices
only to the extent specifically provided in the contract.

  ----------- ---------------------------------------------- -------------

E.2 [Quality Assurance]{.underline}

The Contractor shall institute an appropriate inspection system set
forth in a Quality Assurance Plan. The plan shall include checklists of
duties to be carried out, ensuring these duties are carried out by the
supervisory staff and senior employees, and carrying out weekly
inspections to determine whether the various services are being
performed according to the contract. The Contractor shall provide copies
of the weekly inspection reports to the COR.

The Contractor shall correct and improve promptly any shortcomings and
substandard conditions noted during inspections. The Contractor shall
bring any conditions beyond the responsibility of the Contractor to the

COR a monthly progress report, along with the monthly invoice, summing
up observations resulting from the inspections, progress, difficulties
or irregularities encountered, resolution of problems, measures taken to
improve conditions, recommendations, and other matters related to this

E.2.2. [INSPECTION BY GOVERNMENT]{.underline}: The COR, or his/her
authorized representatives, will inspect from time to time the services
being performed and the supplies furnished to determine whether work is
being performed in a satisfactory manner, and that all supplies are of
acceptable quality and standards.

The Contractor shall be responsible for any countermeasures or
corrective action, within the scope of this contract, which may be
required by the Contracting Officer as a result of such inspection.

E.3 [SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION]{.underline}

E.3.1 [DEFINITIONS]{.underline}

(a) \"Substantial Completion\" means the stage in the progress of the
    work as determined and certified by the Contracting Officer in
    writing to the Contractor, on which the work (or a portion
    designated by the Government) is sufficiently complete and
    satisfactory. Substantial completion means that the property may be
    occupied or used for the purpose for which it is intended, and only
    minor items such as touch-up, adjustments, and minor replacements or
    installations remain to be completed or corrected which:

    1.  do not interfere with the intended occupancy or utilization of
        the work, and

    2.  can be completed or corrected within the time period required
        for final completion.

(b) The \"date of substantial completion\" means the date determined by
    the Contracting Officer or authorized Government representative as
    of which substantial completion of the work has been achieved.

E.3.2 [USE AND POSSESSION UPON SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION]{.underline}

The Government shall have the right to take possession of and use the
work upon substantial completion. Upon notice by the Contractor that the
work is substantially complete (a Request for Substantial Completion)
and an inspection by the Contracting Officer or an authorized Government
representative (including any required tests), the Contracting Officer
shall furnish the Contractor a Certificate of Substantial Completion.
The certificate shall be accompanied by a Schedule of Defects listing
items of work remaining to be performed, completed or corrected before
final completion and acceptance. Failure of the Contracting Officer to
list any item of work shall not relieve the Contractor of responsibility
for complying with the terms of the contract. The Government\'s
possession or use upon substantial completion shall not be deemed an
acceptance of any work under the contract.

E.4 [FINAL COMPLETION AND ACCEPTANCE]{.underline}

E.4.1 [DEFINITIONS]{.underline}

\(a\) \"Final completion and acceptance\" means the stage in the
progress of the work as determined by the Contracting Officer and
confirmed in writing to the Contractor, at which all work required under
the contract has been completed in a satisfactory manner, subject to the
discovery of defects after final completion, and except for items
specifically excluded in the notice of final acceptance.

\(b\) The \"date of final completion and acceptance\" means the date
determined by the Contracting Officer when final completion of the work
has been achieved, as indicated by written notice to the Contractor.

E.4.2 [FINAL INSPECTION AND TESTS]{.underline}

The Contractor shall give the Contracting Officer at least five (5) days
advance written notice of the date when the work will be fully completed
and ready for final inspection and tests. Final inspection and tests
will be started not later than the date specified in the notice unless
the Contracting Officer determines that the work is not ready for final
inspection and so informs the Contractor.

E.4.3 [FINAL ACCEPTANCE]{.underline}

If the Contracting Officer is satisfied that the work under the contract
is complete (with the exception of continuing obligations), the
Contracting Officer shall issue to the Contractor a notice of final
acceptance and make final payment upon:

(a) satisfactory completion of all required tests,

(b) a final inspection that all items by the Contracting Officer listed
    in the Schedule of Defects have been completed or corrected and that
    the work is finally complete (subject to the discovery of defects
    after final completion), and

(c) submittal by the Contractor of all documents and other items
    required upon completion of the work, including a final request for
    payment (Request for Final Acceptance).

    premises and completion of "punch list" items.

F.3 [LIQUIDATED DAMAGES]{.underline}

F.3.1 [52.211-12 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES - CONSTRUCTION (SEP
2000)]{.underline}

\(a\) If the Contractor fails to complete the work within the time
specified in the contract, or any extension, the Contractor shall pay
liquidated damages to the Government in the amount of €150.00 for each
day of delay until the work is completed or accepted.

\(b\) If the Government terminates the Contractor's right to proceed,
liquidated damages will continue to accrue until the work is completed.
These liquidated damages are in addition to excess costs of repurchase
under the Default clause.

F.3.2. [ASSESSMENT AND APPORTIONMENT OF LIQUIDATED DAMAGES]{.underline}

Liquidated damages will be assessed from the completion date indicated
in the contract or extensions thereof to the date of substantial
completion as actually achieved by the Contractor, as determined by the
Contracting Officer.

F.4 [CONTRACTOR\'S SUBMISSION OF CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULES]{.underline}

\(a\) The time for submission of the schedules referenced in Section I,
52.236-15, \"Schedules for Construction Contracts\", paragraph (a), is
hereby modified to reflect the due date for submission as \"ten (10)
days after receipt of an executed contract\".

\(b\) These schedules shall include the time by which shop drawings,
product data, samples and other submittals required by the contract will
be submitted for approval.

\(c\) The Contractor shall revise such schedules (1) to account for the
actual progress of the work, (2) to reflect approved adjustments in the
performance schedule, and (3) as required by the Contracting Officer to
achieve coordination with work by the Government and any separate
contractors used by the Government. The Contractor shall submit a
schedule which sequences work so as to minimize disruption at the job
site.

\(d\) All schedules shall be in the English language and any system of
dimensions (English or metric) shown shall be consistent with that used
in the contract. No extension of time shall be allowed due to a delay by
the Government in approving such deliverables if the Contractor has
failed to act promptly and responsively in submitting its deliverables.
The Contractor shall identify each deliverable as required by the
contract.

F.5 [ACCEPTANCE OF SCHEDULE]{.underline}

When the Government has accepted any time schedule, it shall be binding
upon the Contractor. The completion date is fixed and may be extended
only by a written contract modification signed by the Contracting
Officer. Acceptance or approval of any schedule or revision thereof by
the Government shall not (1) extend the completion date or obligate the
Government to do so, (2) constitute acceptance or approval of any delay,
or (3) excuse the Contractor from or relieve the Contractor of its
obligation to maintain the progress of the work and achieve final
completion by the established completion date.

F.6 [NOTICE OF DELAY]{.underline}

If the Contractor receives a notice of any change in the work, or if any
other conditions arise which are likely to cause or are actually causing
delays which the Contractor believes may result in late completion of
the project, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer. The
Contractor's notice shall state the effect, if any, of such change or
other conditions upon the approved schedule, and shall state in what
respects, if any, the relevant schedule or the completion date should be
revised. The Contractor shall give this notice not more than ten (10)
days after the first event-giving rise to the delay or prospective
delay. Only the Contracting Officer may make revisions to the approved
time schedule.

F.7 [NOTICE TO PROCEED]{.underline}

\(a\) After receiving and accepting any bonds or evidence of insurance,
the Contracting Officer will issue the Contractor a Notice to Proceed.
The Contractor shall then prosecute the work commencing and completing
performance not later than the time period established in the contract.

\(b\) It is possible that the Contracting Officer may elect to issue the
Notice to Proceed before receipt and acceptance of any bonds or evidence
of insurance. Issuance of a Notice to Proceed by the Government before
receipt of the required bonds or insurance certificates or policies
shall not be a waiver of the requirement to furnish these documents.

F.8 [WORKING HOURS]{.underline}

All work shall be performed during 0800-1700, Monday through Friday,
except for the holidays identified below. Other hours, if requested by
the Contractor, may be approved by the Contracting Officer\'s
Representative. The Contractor shall give 24 hours in advance to COR who
will consider any deviation from the hours identified above. Changes in
work hours will not be a cause for a price increase.

damage to or theft of property, materials, supplies, or equipment. The
contractor shall report this data in the manner prescribed by the
contracting officer.

\(c\) *Subcontracts*. The contractor shall be responsible for its
subcontractors' compliance with this clause.

\(d\) *Written program.* Before commencing work, the contractor shall:

understanding relative to administration of the overall safety program.

\(e\) *Notification*. The contracting officer shall notify the
contractor of any non-compliance with these requirements and the
corrective actions required. This notice, when delivered to the
contractor or the contractor's representative on site, shall be deemed
sufficient notice of the non-compliance and corrective action required.
After receiving the notice, the contractor shall immediately take
corrective action. If the contractor fails or refuses to promptly take
corrective action, the contracting officer may issue an order suspending
all or part of the work until satisfactory corrective action has been
taken. The contractor shall not be entitled to any equitable adjustment
of the contract price or extension of the performance schedule on any
suspension of work order issued under this clause.

H.12 [SUBCONTRACTORS AND SUPPLIERS]{.underline}

H.12.1 [CLAIMS AND ENCUMBRANCES]{.underline}

The Contractor shall satisfy as due all lawful claims of any persons or
entities employed by the Contractor, including subcontractors, material
men and laborers, for all labor performed and materials furnished under
this contract, including the applicable warranty or correction period,
unless the Government shall be directly liable by contract. The
Contractor shall not at any time permit any lien, attachment, or other
encumbrance to be entered against or to remain on the building(s), or
the premises, whether public or private, or any portion thereof, as a
result of nonperformance of any part of this contract.

H.12.2 [APPROVAL OF SUBCONTRACTORS]{.underline}

\(a\) [REVIEW AND APPROVAL]{.underline}. The Government reserves the
right to review proposed subcontractors for a period of five (5) days
before providing notice of approval or rejection of any or all
subcontractors.

\(b\) [REJECTION OF SUBCONTRACTORS]{.underline}. The Government reserves
the right to reject any or all subcontractors proposed if their
participation in the project, as determined by the Contracting Officer,
may cause damage to the national security interests of the United
States. The Contractor agrees to promptly replace any subcontractor
rejected by the Government under this clause.

H.13 [CONSTRUCTION PERSONNEL]{.underline}

H.13.1 [REMOVAL OF PERSONNEL]{.underline}

The Contractor shall maintain discipline at the site and at all times
take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unlawful, riotous, or
disorderly conduct by or among those at the site. The contractor shall
ensure the preservation of peace and protection of persons and property
in the neighborhood of the project. The Contracting Officer may require,
in writing, that the Contractor remove from the work any employee that
the Contracting Officer deems incompetent, careless, insubordinate or
otherwise objectionable, or whose continued employment on the project is
deemed by the Contracting Officer to be contrary to the Government\'s
interests.

H.13.2 [CONSTRUCTION PERSONNEL SECURITY]{.underline}

After award of the contract, the Contractor shall have ten (10) days to
submit to the Contracting Officer a list of workers and supervisors
assigned to this project (Biographic Data on Personnel) for the
Government to conduct all necessary security checks. It is anticipated
that security checks will take approximately fifteen (15) days to
perform. For each individual the list shall include:

> **Complete application form provided by the Embassy**
>
> **Copy of ID card**
>
> **Passport**
>
> **Greek Social Security Medical Book**
>
> **Merchant Marine Seaman's book (if applicable)**
>
> **Penal record of type A**
>
> **Discharge papers (Greek Military service)**

**Pay Book (Greek Armed Forces)**

Failure to provide any of the above information may be considered
grounds for rejection and/or resubmittal of the application. Once the
Government has completed the security screening and approved the
applicants, the Government will provide a badge to the individual for
access to the site. The Government may revoke this badge at any time due
to the falsification of data, or misconduct on site.

H.14 [MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT]{.underline}

H.14.1 [SELECTION AND APPROVAL OF MATERIALS]{.underline}

\(a\) [STANDARD TO QUALITY]{.underline}. All materials and equipment
incorporated into the work shall be new and for the purpose intended,
unless otherwise specified. All workmanship shall be of good quality and
performed in a skillful manner that will withstand inspection.

\(b\) [SELECTION BY CONTRACTOR]{.underline}. Where the contract permits
the Contractor to select products, materials or equipment to be
incorporated in the work, or where specific approval is otherwise
required by the contract, the Contractor shall furnish a Submittal
Register to the Contracting Officer, for approval. The Submittal
Register shall include the names of the manufacturer, model number, and
source of procurement of each such product, material or equipment,
together with other pertinent information concerning the nature,
appearance, dimensions, performance, capacity, and rating. To ensure a
timely review the Contractor shall provide a submittal register ten days
after contract award showing when shop drawings, samples, or submittals
shall be made. When directed to do so, the Contractor shall submit
samples for approval at the Contractor\'s expense, with all shipping
charges prepaid. Installation or use of any products, materials or
equipment without the required approval shall be at the risk of
subsequent rejection.

H.14.2 [CUSTODY OF MATERIALS]{.underline}

The Contractor shall be responsible for the custody of all materials
received for incorporation into the project, including Government
furnished materials, upon delivery to the Contractor or to any person
for whom it is responsible, including subcontractors. The Contractor
shall deliver all such items to the site as soon as practicable. If
required by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall clearly mark
in a manner directed by the Contracting Officer all items of which the
Contractor has custody but which have not been delivered or secured at
the site, clearly indicating the use of such items for the U.S.
Government project.

H.14.3 [BASIS OF CONTRACT PRICE]{.underline}

The contract price is based on the use of the materials, products and
equipment specified in the contract, except for substitutions or
\"Or-Equal\" items proposed by the Contractor which have been
specifically approved by the Government at the time of execution of the
contract. Any substitution approved by the Government after execution of
the contract shall be subject to an appropriate adjustment of the
contract price.

H.14.4 [SUBSTITUTIONS]{.underline}

\(a\) [PRIOR APPROVAL REQUIRED]{.underline}. The Contractor must receive
approval in writing from the Contracting Officer before substitutions
(1) proposed by the Contractor but not yet approved at the time of
execution of the contract, or (2) proposed by the Contractor after
execution of the contract may be used in the project. Sufficient
information to permit evaluation by the Government must accompany any
substitution request including but not limited to the reasons for the
proposed substitution and data concerning the design, appearance,
performance, composition, and relative cost of the proposed substitute.
The Contractor shall make requests for substitutions in a timely manner
to permit adequate evaluation by the Government. If, in the Contracting
Officer\'s opinion, the use of such substitute items is not in the best
interests of the Government, the Contractor must obtain the items
originally specified with no adjustment in the contract price or
completion date.

\(b\) [APPROVAL THROUGH SHOP DRAWINGS]{.underline}. The Contractor may
propose substitutions of materials in the submittal of shop drawings,
provided such substitution is specifically requested in writing in the
transmittal of the shop drawings to the Contracting Officer. Such
substitution requests must be made in a timely manner and supported by
the required information.

\(c\) [FINAL APPROVAL ON DELIVERY]{.underline}. Acceptance or approval
of proposed substitutions under the contract are conditioned upon
approval of items delivered at the site or approval by sample. Approval
by sample shall not limit the Government\'s right to reject material
after delivery to the site if the material does not conform to the
approved sample in all material respects.

H.14.5 [\"OR-EQUAL CLAUSE\"]{.underline}

References in the Specifications/Statement of Work to materials,
products or equipment by trade name, make, or catalog number, or to
specific processes, shall be regarded as establishing a standard of
quality and shall not be construed as limiting competition. The
Contractor may propose for approval or rejection by the Contracting
Officer the substitution of any material, product, equipment or process
that the Contractor believes to be equal to or better than that named in
the Specifications/Statement of Work, unless otherwise specifically
provided in this contract.

H.14.6 [USE AND TESTING OF SAMPLES]{.underline}

("Samples" include materials and equipment.)

\(a\) [USE]{.underline}. The Contractor shall send approved samples not
destroyed in testing to the Contracting Officer. Those which are in good
condition will be marked for identification and may be used in the work.
Materials and equipment incorporated in the work shall match the
approved samples within any specified tolerances. Other samples not
destroyed in testing or not approved will be returned to the Contractor
at its expense if so requested.

\(b\) [FAILURE OF SAMPLES]{.underline}. If a sample fails to pass the
specified tests described in this contract, any further samples of the
same brand or make of that material or equipment may not be considered
for use in performance under this contract.

\(c\) [TAKING AND TESTING OF SAMPLES]{.underline}. Samples delivered on
the site or in place may be taken by the Contracting Officer for
additional testing by the Government outside of those required by the
Contract documents. Samples failing to meet contract requirements will
automatically void previous approvals of the items tested. The
Contractor shall replace such materials or equipment found not to have
met contract requirements, unless the Contracting Officer determines it
to be in the Government\'s interest to accept the non-conforming
materials or equipment with an appropriate adjustment of the Contract
price as determined by the Contracting Officer.

\(d\) [COST OF ADDITIONAL TESTING BY THE GOVERNMENT]{.underline}. When
additional tests of samples are performed, only one test of each sample
proposed for use will be made at the expense of the Government. Samples
which do not meet contract requirements will be rejected. Further
testing of additional samples, if required, will be made at the expense
of the Contractor.

H.15 [IMPORTED MATERIALS, EQUIPMENT, AND PERSONNEL]{.underline}

H.15.1 [SHIPMENT AND CUSTOMS CLEARANCE]{.underline}

\(a\) Costs to be borne by Contractor. The Contractor is responsible for
paying all charges incurred in obtaining materials that must be imported
for the project and in transporting the materials from their place or
origin to the construction site. Moving costs shall include, but not
necessarily be limited to, packing, handling, cartage, overland freight,
ocean freight, transshipment, port, unloading, customs clearance and
duties (other than customs duties specified below), unpacking, storage,
and all other charges including administrative costs in connection with
obtaining and transporting the materials from their source to the
project site.

\(b\) [Duty-free clearance]{.underline}. The Contractor shall not be
responsible for customs duties for which the Government has been able to
obtain a customs waiver. The Contractor shall follow the instructions of
the Contracting Officer as to the manner of labeling the shipping
containers or otherwise processing shipments of imported materials in
order to obtain, or continue to receive, duty free clearance through
customs. The Contractor shall be responsible for the payment of customs
duties, if any, which

(1) are imposed on items which are not labeled and processed in
    accordance with the Contracting Officer\'s instructions,

(2) are imposed on the Contractor\'s tools, construction equipment and
    machinery imported for use on the project, or

(3) are otherwise ineligible for duty-free entry. The Contractor is
    responsible for customs duties where the Contractor has failed to
    give adequate and timely notice to the Contracting Officer of
    importation on containers or materials which may be eligible for a
    customs waiver. The Contracting Officer will provide instructions
    concerning time periods for notification of importation by the
    Contractor.

\(c\) Customs Clearance. The Government will be responsible for
obtaining customs clearances, and for obtaining exemption certificates
or paying customs duties not waived, for imported products, materials
and equipment which are labeled and processed in accordance with the
Contracting Officer\'s instructions. The Government shall not be
responsible for obtaining customs clearance for the Contractor\'s tools,
construction equipment or machinery, nor for obtaining visas, entry or
work permits for the Contractor\'s personnel.

H.15.2 [SURPLUS MATERIALS]{.underline}

Unless otherwise specified, any surplus materials, fixtures, articles or
equipment remaining at the completion of the project shall become the
property of the Contractor, except those items furnished by the
Government, whose cost is not included in the contract price.

H.16 [SPECIAL WARRANTIES]{.underline}

H.16.1 [SPECIAL WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS]{.underline}

Any special warranties that may be required under the contract shall be
subject to the stipulations set forth in 52.246-21, \"Warranty of
Construction\", as long as they do not conflict with the special
warranty.

H.16.2 [WARRANTY INFORMATION]{.underline}

The Contractor shall obtain and furnish to the Government all
information required in order to make any subcontractor\'s,
manufacturers, or supplier\'s guarantee or warranty legally binding and
effective. The Contractor shall submit both the information and the
guarantee or warranty to the Government in sufficient time to permit the
Government to meet any time limit specified in the guarantee or
warranty, but not later than completion and acceptance of all work under
this contract.

H.17 [EQUITABLE ADJUSTMENTS]{.underline}

H.17.1 [BASIS FOR EQUITABLE ADJUSTMENTS]{.underline}

Any circumstance for which the contract provides an equitable adjustment
that causes a change within the meaning of paragraph (a) of the
\"Changes\" clause shall be treated as a change under that clause. The
Contractor shall give the Contracting Officer written notice (within 20
days) stating:

(a) the date, circumstances, and applicable contract clause authorizing
    an equitable adjustment and

(b) that the Contractor regards the event as a changed condition for
    which an equitable adjustment is allowed under the contract.

H.17.2 [DIFFERING SITE CONDITION NOTICE]{.underline}

The Contractor shall provide written notice of a differing site
condition within 10 days of occurrence following FAR 52.236-2, Differing
Site Conditions.

H.17.3 [DOCUMENTATION OF PROPOSALS FOR EQUITABLE
ADJUSTMENTS]{.underline}

\(a\) [ITEMIZATION OF PROPOSALS AND REQUESTS]{.underline}. The
Contractor shall submit any request for equitable adjustment in the
contract price, including any change proposal submitted in accordance
with the \"Changes\" clause, in the form of a lump sum proposal
supported with an itemized breakdown of all increases and decreases in
the contract price in the detail required by the Contracting Officer,
The request shall include all costs and delays related to or arising out
of the change or event giving rise to the proposed adjustment, including
any delay damages and additional overhead costs.

\(b\) [PROPOSED TIME ADJUSTMENTS]{.underline}. The Contractor shall
submit a proposed time extension (if applicable) with any request for an
equitable adjustment or change proposal. The request shall include
sufficient information to demonstrate whether and to what extent the
change will delay the completion of the contract.

\(c\) [RELEASE BY CONTRACTOR]{.underline}. The price and time adjustment
made in any contract modification issued as a result of a change
proposal or request for an equitable adjustment shall be considered to
account for all items affected by the change or other circumstances
giving rise to an equitable adjustment. Upon issuance of such contract
modification, the Government shall be released from any and all
liability under this contract for further equitable adjustments
attributable to the facts and circumstances giving rise to the change
proposal or request for equitable adjustment.

H.18 [NONCOMPLIANCE WITH CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS]{.underline}

If the Contractor, after receiving written notice from the Contracting
Officer of noncompliance with any requirement of this contract, fails to
initiate promptly appropriate action(s) to bring performance/work into
compliance with a contract requirement within a reasonable period of
time, the Contracting Officer shall have the right to order the
Contractor to suspend any or all work under the contract. This order
shall be in force until the Contractor has complied or has initiated
such action as may be appropriate to comply within a reasonable period
of time. The Contractor will not be entitled to any extension of
contract time or payment for any costs incurred as a result of being
ordered to suspend work for such a cause.

[THE FOLLOWING CLAUSES ARE SET FORTH IN FULL TEXT:]{.underline}

I.2. [52.222-39 NOTIFICATION OF EMPLOYEE RIGHTS CONCERNING PAYMENT OF
UNION DUES OR FEES (DEC 2004) (only if over \$100,000)]{.underline}

\(a\) *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:

National Labor Relations Board

Division of Information

1099 14th Street, N.W.

Washington, DC 20570

1-- 866-- 667-- 6572

1-- 866-- 316-- 6572 (TTY)

*http://www.nlrb.gov*.

\(c\) The Contractor shall comply with all provisions of Executive Order
13201 of February 17, 2001, and related implementing regulations at 29
CFR part 470, and orders of the Secretary of Labor.

\(d\) In the event that the Contractor does not comply with any of the
requirements set forth in paragraphs (b), (c), or (g), the Secretary may
direct that this contract be cancelled, terminated, or suspended in
whole or in part, and declare the Contractor ineligible for further
Government contracts in accordance with procedures at 29 CFR

part 470, Subpart B--- Compliance Evaluations, Complaint Investigations
and Enforcement Procedures. Such other sanctions or remedies may be
imposed as are provided by 29 CFR part 470, which implements Executive
Order 13201, or as are otherwise provided by law.

\(e\) The requirement to post the employee notice in paragraph (b) does
not apply to---

\(1\) Contractors and subcontractors that employ fewer than 15 persons;

\(2\) Contractor establishments or construction work sites where no
union has been formally recognized by the Contractor or certified as the
exclusive bargaining representative of the Contractor's employees;

\(3\) Contractor establishments or construction work sites located in a
jurisdiction named in the definition of the United States in which the
law of that jurisdiction forbids enforcement of union-security
agreements;

\(4\) Contractor facilities where upon the written request of the
Contractor, the Department of Labor Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Labor-Management Programs has waived the posting requirements with
respect to any of the Contractor's facilities if the Deputy

Assistant Secretary finds that the Contractor has demonstrated that---

\(i\) The facility is in all respects separate and distinct from
activities of the Contractor related to the performance of a contract;
and

\(ii\) Such a waiver will not interfere with or impede the effectuation
of the Executive order; or

\(5\) Work outside the United States that does not involve the
recruitment or employment of workers within the United States.

\(f\) The Department of Labor publishes the official employee notice in
two variations; one for contractors covered by the Railway Labor Act and
a second for all other contractors. The Contractor shall---

\(1\) Obtain the required employee notice poster from the Division of
Interpretations and Standards, Office of Labor-Management Standards,
U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW, Room N-- 5605,
Washington, DC 20210, or from any

field office of the Department's Office of Labor-Management Standards or
Office

of Federal Contract Compliance Programs;

\(2\) Download a copy of the poster from the Office of Labor-Management
Standards website at *http://www.olms.dol.gov*; or

\(3\) Reproduce and use exact duplicate copies of the Department of
Labor's official poster.

\(g\) The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause in every
subcontract or purchase order that exceeds the simplified acquisition
threshold, entered into in connection with this contract, unless
exempted by the Department of Labor Deputy

Assistant Secretary for Labor--Management Programs on account of special
circumstances in the national interest under authority of 29 CFR
470.3(c). For indefinite quantity subcontracts, the Contractor shall
include the substance of this clause if

the value of orders in any calendar year of the subcontract is expected
to exceed

the simplified acquisition threshold. Pursuant to 29 CFR part 470,
Subpart B--- Compliance Evaluations, Complaint Investigations and
Enforcement Procedures, the Secretary of Labor may direct the Contractor
to take such action in the enforcement of these regulations, including
the imposition of sanctions for noncompliance with respect to any such
subcontract or purchase order. If the Contractor becomes involved in
litigation with a subcontractor or vendor, or is threatened with such
involvement, as a result of such direction, the Contractor may request
the United States, through the Secretary of Labor, to enter into such
litigation to protect the interests of the United States.

I.8. [52.228-15  ]{.underline}[Performance and Payment

"Original contract price" means the award price of the contract; or, for

performance of the contract."

I.9 652.225-71 SECTION 8(A) OF THE EXPORT ADMINISTRATION ACTS OF 1979,
AS AMENDED (AUG 1999)

\(a\) Section 8(a) of the U.S. Export Administration Act of 1979, as
amended (50 U.S.C. 2407(a)), prohibits compliance by U.S. persons with
any boycott fostered by a foreign country against a country which is
friendly to the United States and which is not itself the object of any
form of boycott pursuant to United States law or regulation. The Boycott
of Israel by Arab League countries is such a boycott, and therefore, the
following actions, if taken with intent to comply with, further, or
support the Arab League Boycott of Israel, are prohibited activities
under the Export Administration Act:

> \(1\) Refusing, or requiring any U.S. person to refuse to do business
> with or in Israel, with any Israeli business concern, or with any
> national or resident of Israel, or with any other person, pursuant to
> an agreement of, or a request from or on behalf of a boycotting
> country;
>
> \(2\) Refusing, or requiring any U.S. person to refuse to employ or
> otherwise discriminating against any person on the basis of race,
> religion, sex, or national origin of that person or of any owner,
> officer, director, or employee of such person;
>
> \(3\) Furnishing information with respect to the race, religion, or
> national origin of any U.S. person or of any owner, officer, director,
> or employee of such U.S. person;
>
> \(4\) Furnishing information about whether any person has, has had, or
> proposes to have any business relationship (including a relationship
> by way of sale, purchase, legal or commercial representation, shipping
> or other transport, insurance, investment, or supply) with or in the
> State of Israel, with any business concern organized under the laws of
> the State of Israel, with any Israeli national or resident, or with
> any person which is known or believed to be restricted from having any
> business relationship with or in Israel;
>
> \(5\) Furnishing information about whether any person is a member of,
> has made contributions to, or is otherwise associated with or involved
> in the activities of any charitable or fraternal organization which
> supports the State of Israel; and,
>
> 6\) Paying, honoring, confirming, or otherwise implementing a letter
> of credit which contains any condition or requirement against doing
> business with the State of Israel.

\(b\) Under Section 8(a), the following types of activities are not
forbidden \`\`compliance with the boycott,\'\' and are therefore
exempted from Section 8(a)\'s prohibitions listed in paragraphs

(a)(1)-(6) above:

> \(1\) Complying or agreeing to comply with requirements:
>
> \(i\) Prohibiting the import of goods or services from Israel or goods
> produced or services provided by any business concern organized under
> the laws of Israel or by nationals or residents of Israel; or,
>
> \(ii\) Prohibiting the shipment of goods to Israel on a carrier of
> Israel, or by a route other than that prescribed by the boycotting
> country or the recipient of the shipment;

\(2\) Complying or agreeing to comply with import and shipping document
requirements with respect to the country of origin, the name of the
carrier and route of shipment, the name of the supplier of the shipment
or the name of the provider of other services, except that no
information knowingly furnished or conveyed in response to such
requirements may be stated in negative, blacklisting, or similar
exclusionary terms, other than with respect to carriers or route of
shipments as may be permitted by such regulations in order to comply
with precautionary requirements protecting against war risks and
confiscation;

\(3\) Complying or agreeing to comply in the normal course of business
with the unilateral and specific selection by a boycotting country, or
national or resident thereof, of carriers, insurance, suppliers of
services to be performed within the boycotting country or specific goods
which, in the normal course of business, are identifiable by source when
imported into the boycotting country;

\(4\) Complying or agreeing to comply with the export requirements of
the boycotting country relating to shipments or transshipments of
exports to Israel, to any business concern of or organized under the
laws of Israel, or to any national or resident of Israel;

\(5\) Compliance by an individual or agreement by an individual to
comply with the immigration or passport requirements of any country with
respect to such individual or any member of such individual\'s family or
with requests for information regarding requirements of employment of
such individual within the boycotting country; and,

\(6\) Compliance by a U.S. person resident in a foreign country or
agreement by such person to comply with the laws of that country with
respect to his or her activities exclusively therein, and such
regulations may contain exceptions for such resident complying with the
laws or regulations of that foreign country governing imports into such
country of trademarked, trade named, or similarly specifically
identifiable products, or components of products for his or her own use,
including the performance of contractual services within that country,
as may be defined by such regulations.

I.10 [652.229-71 PERSONAL PROPERTY DISPOSITION AT POSTS ABROAD (AUG
1999)]{.underline}

Regulations at 22 CFR Part 136 require that U.S. Government employees
and their families do not profit personally from sales or other
transactions with persons who are not themselves entitled to exemption
from import restrictions, duties, or taxes. Should the contractor
experience importation or tax privileges in a foreign country because of
its contractual relationship to the United States Government, the
contractor shall observe the requirements of 22 CFR Part 136 and all
policies, rules, and procedures issued by the chief of mission in that
foreign country.

> preset period (no more than one minute) an alarm will sound from the
> slave unit and from the master. This timer can be set in the
> electrical panel.
>
> 5\. Test safety loop:
>
> a\. Open the gate and park a vehicle over the loop but not over the
> gate. Attempt to close the gate - it should not close.
>
> 6\. Test the emergency close function. Be sure there is no vehicle or
> individual standing near the gate and have a safety person control the
> site. Check to make sure all safety functions are not functioning
> while the gate is operating in the emergency mode.
>
> a\. PART I: Activate the emergency close, from the open position - the
> gate should close quickly. Record the time (should be 12 seconds or
> less). The slave controller should now be inoperative and will have to
> be reset from the master controller in Post I.
>
> b\. PART II: Now park a vehicle over the safety loop. Then follow Part
> I sequence - The emergency close function should now override the
> safety loop and the sequence should be the same as for Part I.

K. 5 [52.209-5 Certification Regarding Responsibility Matters
(May 2008)]{.underline}

(a)(1) The Offeror certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief,
that---

\(i\) The Offeror and/or any of its Principals---

\(A\) Are \_\_ are not \_\_\_ presently debarred, suspended, proposed
for debarment, or declared ineligible for the award of contracts by any
Federal agency;

\(B\) Have \_\_ have not \_\_\_, within a three-year period preceding
this offer, been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against
them for: commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with
obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a public (Federal, state,
or local) contract or subcontract; violation of Federal or state
antitrust statutes relating to the submission of offers; or commission
of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction
of records, making false statements, tax evasion, violating Federal
criminal tax laws, or receiving stolen property;

\(C\) Are \_\_\_\_ are not \_\_\_\_ presently indicted for, or otherwise
criminally or civilly charged by a governmental entity with, commission
of any of the offenses enumerated in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(B) of this
provision;

\(D\) Have \_\_\_, have not \_\_\_\_, within a three-year period
preceding this offer, been notified of any delinquent Federal taxes in
an amount that exceeds \$3,000 for which the liability remains
unsatisfied.

\(1\) Federal taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following
criteria apply:

\(i\) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally
determined if it has been assessed. A liability is not finally
determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge.
In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is
not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been
exhausted.

\(ii\) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is
delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full
payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases
where enforced collection action is precluded.

\(2\) Examples.

\(i\) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under
I.R.C. § 6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a
proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not
a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this
will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all
judicial appeal rights.

\(ii\) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an
assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under
I.R.C. § 6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS
Office of Appeals contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to
the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In the
course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the
underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior
opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax
because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax
court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer
has exercised all judicial appeal rights.

\(iii\) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant
to I.R.C. § 6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full
compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent
because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment.

\(iv\) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is
not delinquent because enforced collection action is stayed under 11
U.S.C. 362 (the Bankruptcy Code).

\(ii\) The Offeror has \_\_\_ has not \_\_\_\_, within a three-year
period preceding this offer, had one or more contracts terminated for
default by any Federal agency.

\(2\) "Principals," for the purposes of this certification, means
officers; directors; owners; partners; and, persons having primary
management or supervisory responsibilities within a business entity
(e.g., general manager; plant manager; head of a subsidiary, division,
or business segment, and similar positions).

> This Certification Concerns a Matter Within the Jurisdiction of an
> Agency of the United States and the Making of a False, Fictitious, or
> Fraudulent Certification May Render the Maker Subject to Prosecution
> Under Section 1001, Title 18, United States Code.

\(b\) The Offeror shall provide immediate written notice to the
Contracting Officer if, at any time prior to contract award, the Offeror
learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become
erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.

\(c\) A certification that any of the items in paragraph (a) of this
provision exists will not necessarily result in withholding of an award
under this solicitation. However, the certification will be considered
in connection with a determination of the Offeror's responsibility.
Failure of the Offeror to furnish a certification or provide such
additional information as requested by the Contracting Officer may
render the Offeror nonresponsible.

\(d\) Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require
establishment of a system of records in order to render, in good faith,
the certification required by paragraph (a) of this provision. The
knowledge and information of an Offeror is not required to exceed that
which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course
of business dealings.

\(e\) The certification in paragraph (a) of this provision is a material
representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making award.
If it is later determined that the Offeror knowingly rendered an
erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the
Government, the Contracting Officer may terminate the contract resulting
from this solicitation for default.
