1.  **2.212-4 Contract Terms and Conditions---Commercial Items
    (Oct 2008)**

\(a\) ***Inspection/Acceptance***. The Contractor shall only tender for
acceptance those items that conform to the requirements of this
contract. The Government reserves the right to inspect or test any
supplies or services that have been tendered for acceptance. The
Government may require repair or replacement of nonconforming supplies
or reperformance of nonconforming services at no increase in contract
price. If repair/replacement or reperformance will not correct the
defects or is not possible, the Government may seek an equitable price
reduction or adequate consideration for acceptance of nonconforming
supplies or services. The Government must exercise its post-acceptance
rights---

\(1\) Within a reasonable time after the defect was discovered or should
have been discovered; and

\(2\) Before any substantial change occurs in the condition of the item,
unless the change is due to the defect in the item.

\(b\) ***Assignment***. The Contractor or its assignee may assign its
rights to receive payment due as a result of performance of this
contract to a bank, trust company, or other financing institution,
including any Federal lending agency in accordance with the Assignment

its rights to receive payment under this contract.

\(c\) ***Changes***. Changes in the terms and conditions of this
contract may be made only by written agreement of the parties.

sovereign or contractual capacity, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine
restrictions, strikes, unusually severe weather, and delays of common
carriers. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing
as soon as it is reasonably possible after the commencement of any
excusable delay, setting forth the full particulars in connection
therewith, shall remedy such occurrence with all reasonable dispatch,

of the Federal Acquisition Regulation in effect on the date of this

with adequate assurances of future performance. In the event of
termination for cause, the Government shall not be liable to the
Contractor for any amount for supplies or services not accepted, and the
Contractor shall be liable to the Government for any and all rights and
remedies provided by law. If it is determined that the Government
improperly terminated this contract for default, such termination shall
be deemed a termination for convenience.

items furnished under this contract shall pass to the Government upon
acceptance, regardless of when or where the Government takes physical
possession.

\(o\) ***Warranty***. The Contractor warrants and implies that the items

this clause.

\(6\) Other paragraphs of this clause.

\(7\) The [Standard
Form 1449](http://www.acquisition.gov/far/current/html/FormsStandard68.html#wp1186059).

\(t\) ***Central Contractor Registration (CCR)***.

\(1\) Unless exempted by an addendum to this contract, the Contractor is
responsible during performance and through final payment of any contract
for the accuracy and completeness of the data within the CCR database,
and for any liability resulting from the Government's reliance on
inaccurate or incomplete data. To remain registered in the CCR database
after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and
update on an annual basis from the date of initial registration or
subsequent updates its information in the CCR database to ensure it is
current, accurate and complete. Updating information in the CCR does not
alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute
for a properly executed contractual document.

(2)(i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, "doing
business as" name, or division name (whichever is shown on the
contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the
contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding
novation and change-of-name agreements in
FAR [Subpart 42.12](http://www.acquisition.gov/far/current/html/Subpart%2042_12.html#wp1084217),
the Contractor shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer a
minimum of one business day's written notification of its intention to
(A) change the name in the CCR database; (B) comply with the
requirements of
[Subpart 42.12](http://www.acquisition.gov/far/current/html/Subpart%2042_12.html#wp1084217);
and (C) agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the
responsible Contracting Officer. The Contractor must provide with the
notification sufficient documentation to support the legally changed
name.

\(ii\) If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of
paragraph (t)(2)(i) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at
paragraph (t)(2)(i)(C) of this clause, and, in the absence of a properly
executed novation or change-of-name agreement, the CCR information that
shows the Contractor to be other than the Contractor indicated in the
contract will be considered to be incorrect information within the
meaning of the "Suspension of Payment" paragraph of the electronic funds
transfer (EFT) clause of this contract.

\(3\) The Contractor shall not change the name or address for EFT
payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the CCR record to
reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims (see
[Subpart 32.8](http://www.acquisition.gov/far/current/html/Subpart%2032_8.html#wp1029202),
Assignment of Claims). Assignees shall be separately registered in the
CCR database. Information provided to the Contractor's CCR record that
indicates payments, including those made by EFT, to an ultimate
recipient other than that Contractor will be considered to be incorrect
information within the meaning of the "Suspension of payment" paragraph
of the EFT clause of this contract.

\(4\) Offerors and Contractors may obtain information on registration
and annual confirmation requirements via the internet at
<http://www.ccr.gov> or by calling 1-888-227-2423 or 269-961-5757.

(End of clause)

2.  **52.247-34 F.O.B. DESTINATION (NOV 1991)**

\(a\) The term "f.o.b. destination," as used in this clause, means---

\(1\) Free of expense to the Government, on board the carrier's
conveyance, at a specified delivery point where the consignee's facility
(plant, warehouse, store, lot, or other location to which shipment can
be made) is located; and

\(2\) Supplies shall be delivered to the destination consignee's wharf
(if destination is a port city and supplies are for export), warehouse
unloading platform, or receiving dock, at the expense of the Contractor.
The Government shall not be liable for any delivery, storage, demurrage,
accessorial, or other charges involved before the actual delivery (or
"constructive placement" as defined in carrier tariffs) of the supplies
to the destination, unless such charges are caused by an act or order of
the Government acting in its contractual capacity. If rail carrier is
used, supplies shall be delivered to the specified unloading platform of
the consignee. If motor carrier (including "piggyback") is used,
supplies shall be delivered to truck tailgate at the unloading platform
of the consignee, except when the supplies delivered meet the
requirements of Item 568 of the National Motor Freight Classification
for "heavy or bulky freight." When supplies meeting the requirements of
the referenced Item 568 are delivered, unloading (including movement to
the tailgate) shall be performed by the consignee, with assistance from
the truck driver, if requested. If the contractor uses rail carrier or
freight forwarded for less than carload shipments, the contractor shall
ensure that the carrier will furnish tailgate delivery, when required,
if transfer to truck is required to complete delivery to consignee.

\(b\) The Contractor shall---

(1)(i) Pack and mark the shipment to comply with contract
specifications; or

\(ii\) In the absence of specifications, prepare the shipment in
conformance with carrier requirements;

\(2\) Prepare and distribute commercial bills of lading;

\(3\) Deliver the shipment in good order and condition to the point of
delivery specified in the contract;

\(4\) Be responsible for any loss of and/or damage to the goods
occurring before receipt of the shipment by the consignee at the
delivery point specified in the contract;

\(5\) Furnish a delivery schedule and designate the mode of delivering
carrier; and

\(6\) Pay and bear all charges to the specified point of delivery.

(End of clause)

3.  **WES-D-1003 MINIMUM PACKAGING AND MARKING REQUIREMENTS (WAPA,
    JAN 2008)**

a\. All items must be packaged in accordance with good commercial
practices adequate to ensure safe arrival at the delivery address
specified on the order.

b\. As a minimum, the exterior of all packages must be clearly marked
with the purchase order (PO) or contract number, a Western Area Power
Administration contact name and phone number, and a list of the
package\'s contents (i.e., a packing list).

c\. Western reserves the right to return any package(s) not marked in
accordance with this clause to the vendor at the vendor\'s expense.

(End of Clause)

4.  **WES-E-1002 DELAYED ACCEPTANCE (WAPA, JAN 2008)**

Acceptance of all work and/or materials under this contract (including
reports, if any) shall be accomplished by the Contracting Officer, or
his or her duly designated representative. The Government requires up to
thirty (30) calendar days from the date of receipt to perform final
acceptance of delivered units.

5.  **WES-F-1001 ADVANCE SHIPPING NOTIFICATION REQUIRED (WAPA,
    MAR 2008)**

a\. Contract line items (CLINs) 0001 must be delivered on one of the
following weekdays Monday - Friday excluding Government holidays,
between the hours of 7:00 -- 4:30, or at a day and time agreed upon by
the Government representative(s) named below.

b\. The Government representative must receive advance notification of
the intended shipment at least 1 Weeks prior to shipment. The contractor
shall provide the day and time of delivery, identify the shipper, and
provide the telephone number of the shipper\'s office. Delivery
notification is critical because many of Western\'s delivery locations
are unmanned stations located in remote areas that do not have receiving
docks or unloading equipment. Proper notification will ensure that
Western personnel are on site and have the equipment necessary to unload
the shipment.

c\. If the contractor fails to make the required advance notification,
the Government may not be able to receive the equipment. Any additional
costs incurred by the Government to properly receive and/or relocate the
equipment that are caused by the contractor\'s failure to provide
sufficient advance notification will be charged to the contractor under
the terms of this contract. The designated Government representative is:
Rod Lundin, 970-240-6333.

(End of Clause)

6.  **WES-H-1024 LOBBYING RESTRICTIONS (WAPA, FEB 2008)**

The contractor agrees that none of the funds obligated on this award
shall be expended, directly or indirectly, to influence Congressional
action on any legislation or appropriation matters pending before
Congress, other than to communicate to members of Congress as described
in 18 U.S.C. 1913. This restriction is in addition to those prescribed
elsewhere in statute and regulation.

(End of Clause)

7.  **WES-H-1025 PREFERENCE FOR PURCHASING AMERICAN-MADE EQUIPMENT AND
    PRODUCTS (WAPA, FEB 2008)**

It is the sense of the Congress that, to the greatest extent
practicable, all equipment and products purchased with funds made
available under this award should be American-made.

(End of Clause)

specified in this solicitation. Offers may be submitted on the
[SF 1449](http://www.acquisition.gov/far/current/html/FormsStandard68.html#wp1186059),

(see
FAR [52.212-3](http://www.acquisition.gov/far/current/html/52_212_213.html#wp1179194)(b)
for those representations and certifications that the offeror shall

\(9\) Acknowledgment of Solicitation Amendments;

\(10\) Past performance information, when included as an evaluation
factor, to include recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar
items and other references (including contract numbers, points of

[SF 1449](http://www.acquisition.gov/far/current/html/FormsStandard68.html#wp1186059),
include a statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms,
conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation. Offers that
fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the
terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from
consideration.

\(c\) ***Period for acceptance of offers***. The offeror agrees to hold
the prices in its offer firm for 30 calendar days from the date
specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified
in an addendum to the solicitation.

\(d\) ***Product samples***. When required by the solicitation, product
samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt
of offers. Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these
samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned
at the sender's request and expense, unless they are destroyed during
preaward testing.

\(e\) ***Multiple offers***. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple
offers presenting alternative terms and conditions or commercial items
for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each offer
submitted will be evaluated separately.

\(f\) **Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of
offers**.

\(1\) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any
modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government
office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the
solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for
receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office
on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer
received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after
the exact time specified for receipt of offers is "late" and will not be
considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting
Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay
the acquisition; and---

\(A\) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method
authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of
entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m.
one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

\(B\) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at
the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was
under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of
offers; or

\(C\) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only
proposal received.

\(ii\) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer,
that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be
considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

\(3\) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the
Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that
installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt
maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of
Government personnel.

\(4\) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal
Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government
office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in
the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment
of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date,
the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended
to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work
day on which normal Government processes resume.

\(5\) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time
before the exact time set for receipt of offers. Oral offers in response
to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation
authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile
received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers,
subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning
facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or
its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt
of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is
established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

\(g\) ***Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids*)**. The
Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without
discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should
contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint.
However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if
later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The
Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public
interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities
and minor irregularities in offers received.

\(h\) ***Multiple awards***. The Government may accept any item or group
of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific
limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not
be submitted for quantities less than those specified. The Government
reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than
the quantity offered, at the unit prices offered, unless the offeror
specifies otherwise in the offer.

\(iii\) The Government will evaluate offers in accordance with the
policies and procedures of
FAR [Part 25](http://www.acquisition.gov/far/current/html/FARTOCP25.html#wp225048).
For line items covered by the WTO GPA, the Government will evaluate

for award only offers of U.S.-made or designated country end products
unless the Contracting Officer determines that there are no offers for

\(h\) *Certification Regarding Responsibility Matters (Executive
Order 12689*). (Applies only if the contract value is expected to exceed
the simplified acquisition threshold.) The offeror certifies, to the
best of its knowledge and belief, that the offeror and/or any of its
principals---

\(1\)  Are,  are not presently debarred, suspended, proposed for
debarment, or declared ineligible for the award of contracts by any
Federal agency;

\(2\)  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 Federal, state or local government
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;

\(3\)  Are,  are not presently indicted for, or otherwise criminally or
civilly charged by a Government entity with, commission of any of these
offenses enumerated in paragraph (h)(2) of this clause; and

\(4\) 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.

\(i\) Taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria
apply:

\(A\) *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.

\(B\) *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.

\(ii\) *Examples*.

\(A\) 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.

\(B\) 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.

\(C\) 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.

\(D\) 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).

\(i\) Certification Regarding Knowledge of Child Labor for *Listed End
Products (Executive Order 13126)*. \[*The Contracting Officer must list
in paragraph (i)(1) any end products being acquired under this
solicitation that are included in the List of Products Requiring
Contractor Certification as to Forced or Indentured Child Labor, unless
excluded at*
[22.1503](http://www.acquisition.gov/far/current/html/Subpart%2022_15.html#wp1088086)*(b)*.\]

\(1\) *Listed end products*.

  Listed End Product   Listed Countries of Origin
  -------------------- ----------------------------
  ***     ***          ***     ***
  ***     ***          ***     ***

\(2\) *Certification*. \[*If the Contracting Officer has identified end
products and countries of origin in paragraph (i)(1) of this provision,
then the offeror must certify to either (i)(2)(i) or (i)(2)(ii) by
checking the appropriate block*.\]

 (i) The offeror will not supply any end product listed in
paragraph (i)(1) of this provision that was mined, produced, or
manufactured in the corresponding country as listed for that product.

 (ii) The offeror may supply an end product listed in paragraph (i)(1)
of this provision that was mined, produced, or manufactured in the
corresponding country as listed for that product. The offeror certifies
that it has made a good faith effort to determine whether forced or
indentured child labor was used to mine, produce, or manufacture any
such end product furnished under this contract. On the basis of those
efforts, the offeror certifies that it is not aware of any such use of
child labor.

\(j\) *Place of manufacture.* (Does not apply unless the solicitation is
predominantly for the acquisition of manufactured end products.) For
statistical purposes only, the offeror shall indicate whether the place
of manufacture of the end products it expects to provide in response to
this solicitation is predominantly---

\(1\) In the United States (Check this box if the total anticipated
price of offered end products manufactured in the United States exceeds
the total anticipated price of offered end products manufactured outside
the United States); or

\(2\) Outside the United States.

\(k\) *Certificates regarding exemptions from the application of the
Service Contract Act.* (Certification by the offeror as to its
compliance with respect to the contract also constitutes its
certification as to compliance by its subcontractor if it subcontracts
out the exempt services.) \[*The contracting officer is to check a box
to indicate if paragraph (k)(1) or (k)(2) applies.*\]

 (1) Maintenance, calibration, or repair of certain equipment as
described in FAR

employees performing work under the contract will be the same as that
used for these employees and equivalent employees servicing the same
equipment of commercial customers.

 (2) Certain services as described in
FAR [22.1003-4](http://www.acquisition.gov/far/current/html/Subpart%2022_10.html#wp1105165)(d)(1).

non-Governmental customers, and are provided by the offeror (or
subcontractor in the case of an exempt subcontract) to the general
public in substantial quantities in the course of normal business
operations;

\(ii\) The contract services will be furnished at prices that are, or
are based on, established catalog or market prices (see FAR
[22.1003-4](http://www.acquisition.gov/far/current/html/Subpart%2022_10.html#wp1105165)(d)(2)(iii));

\(iii\) Each service employee who will perform the services under the
contract will spend only a small portion of his or her time (a monthly

6109](http://uscode.house.gov/)*, [31 U.S.C.

requirements of [31 U.S.C. 7701(c) and

\(2\) The TIN may be used by the Government to collect and report on any
