8300. PRECISION OPINION. 01
	PAGE 4



    

 


Subcontractor
agrees to perform the Work under this Subcontract utilizing the Key Personnel in conformance with the applicable terms and conditions
of the Prime Contract to the same extent as NORC is obligated there under. The parties hereto will take such actions as may be
necessary or appropriate to facilitate NORC’s performance of the Prime Contract as it relates to this Subcontract. Notwithstanding
any other provision hereof, any decision of the Client, including any Government Technical Representative or Contracting Officer
of the Client under the Prime Contract, shall bind Subcontractor to the extent that it relates to this Subcontract upon being
communicated to Subcontractor in writing by NORC.


 


1.02 Term: Extension



 


The
term of this Subcontract Agreement (“Term”) shall commence on January 1, 2018 and expire on February 28, 2019, unless
sooner terminated as otherwise provided in this Subcontract Agreement. At the option of NORC, the Term shall be extended for such
additional time as may be determined necessary by NORC for purposes of fulfilling the requirements of the Prime Contract.

the Term, the parties hereto may from time to time agree to provision of additional Subcontract Requirements and, in such event
the parties shall enter into supplemental written Subcontract Requirements and Payment Schedules, which shall without further
action incorporate the terms and conditions of this Subcontract Agreement.


 


2. PAYMENT


  


2.01 Time & Materials Contract



 


(A)
This agreement is awarded on a time and material basis and will be incrementally funded as NORC receives task orders under the
NIS contract that requires the services of Subcontractor. The initial subcontract funding of this contract shall be $2,477,000,
to support NORC’s scope of work for the first three Task Orders, Task Order #1 (NIS-Core, Quarters 1 and 2, 2018), Task
Order #2 (NIS-Teen, Quarters 1-4, 2018), and Task Order #3 (NIS-CIM, Quarters 1 and 2, 2018) issued by the Government
to NORC under the prime contract. At NORC’s discretion, incremental funding shall be provided if required to complete additional
Task Orders under the Government contract. Any costs which exceed the funded amount are incurred at the Subcontractor’s
risk. The total cost to NORC for performance of the Work shall not exceed $2,477,000 which shall be the “Subcontract Cost
Limitation.” NORC shall not be obligated to pay Subcontractor for an aggregate amount in excess of the Subcontract Cost
Limitation and Subcontractor shall not be obligated to continue the Work once the aggregate amount of time and material costs
incurred equal the Subcontract Cost Limitation.


 


(B)
If at any time during the period of performance Subcontractor concludes that the scope of work in Appendix A cannot be completed
within the cost limit stated above, Subcontractor shall so notify NORC within 90 business days and shall provide, within 60 business
days, an estimate of the additional funds which would be necessary to complete that scope of work. Upon notice, NORC may reduce
the scope of work, revise the scope of work, increase the available funding, or advise Subcontractor to discontinue its efforts
when the funds have been exhausted.

2.02 Payment Schedule



 


Provided
Subcontractor has not caused an Event of Default under this Subcontract Agreement, or a material breach which by passage of time
would become an Event of Default, NORC shall remit payment after Subcontractor’s satisfaction of the Statement of Work,
as follows:


 


Subcontractor
shall submit invoices by the tenth (10th,) of each month. Payment will be based on the following schedule and consideration:


 





	 	1.	All
    interviewer training hours will be invoiced at $15.00 for each interviewing hour or portion thereof incurred in the execution
    of the Statement of Work
	 	2.	The
    production interviewing hours will be invoiced at $20.90 for each interviewing hour or portion thereof incurred in the execution
    of the Statement of Work. In the event that the Subcontractors productivity falls below the standards as specified in the
    Statement of Work by as much as 20 percent (e.g., hours per completed case [for landline and cell cases combined] rises from
    15.14 to 18.17), NORC will have the right to consider reduction of the hourly payment by $2.00 for each interviewer hour.
    Such considerations shall be discussed with the Subcontractor prior to NORC exercising such an adjustment to this hourly rate.
	 	3.	Refusal
    conversion and/or Hispanic interviewing hours will be invoiced at $22.50 for each interviewing hour or portion thereof incurred
    in the execution of the Statement of Work.




 


2.03 Subcontractor Invoice Requirements



 


(A)
All invoices shall contain a detailed explanation of the basis of the requested payment and the subcontract number. Subcontractor
will provide monthly invoices to NORC including interviewer names, hours worked, quarter number, project name, and type of activity
(interviewing, training, refusal conversion, downtime). Invoices shall be sent to NORC at its address indicated below:

(C)
NORC shall rely in good faith upon the Subcontractor’s certification that the charges are allowable under this Subcontract
and the cost principles set forth in FAR Part 31 applicable to the Subcontractor’s business type. In addition to any other
indemnification obligations set forth in this Subcontract, the Subcontractor agrees to indemnify NORC for any and all claims,
losses or damages, including reasonable attorney’s fees, which NORC sustains as a result of Subcontractor’s failure
to invoice for indirect costs at rates approved by Subcontractor’s ACO.


 


(D)
On receipt and approval of the invoice or voucher designated by the Subcontractor as the “completion invoice”
or “completion voucher” and upon compliance by the Subcontractor with all the provisions of this Subcontract, NORC
shall promptly pay to the Subcontractor any balance of allowable costs. The completion invoice or voucher shall be submitted by
the Subcontractor promptly following completion of the Work under this Subcontract but in no event later that three (3) months
(or such longer period as NORC may in its discretion approve in writing) from the date of such completion.


 


(E)
The Subcontractor agrees that any refunds, rebates, credits, or other amounts (including any interest thereon) accruing to or
received by the Subcontractor or any assignee under this Subcontract shall be paid, or where appropriate, credited, by the Subcontractor
to NORC to the extent that they are properly allocable to costs for which the Subcontractor has been reimbursed by NORC under
this Subcontract.


 


(F)
After payment of ninety percent (90%) of the Subcontract Cost Limitation, NORC may withhold further payment pending establishment
of a reserve of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00). This withholding shall be payable, 1) upon submission and acceptance
of the final report, data, and/or deliverables, as set forth in the Statement of Work, and 2) upon submission and acceptance of
the appropriate closing documents.


 


(G)
The Subcontractor shall further comply with the requirements of the Client pursuant to the Prime Contract.

shall be obligated to pay all reasonable costs actually incurred by NORC with respect to the audit.

during preparation and delivery of an acceptable final deliverable(s) that are in excess of the funds remaining in the Subcontract
shall be borne by Subcontractor.


 


(B)
NORC Acceptance. Any and all acceptance by NORC of Subcontractor’s delivery of any Work shall require an express
written certification thereof by the NORC Subcontract Representative.

and interest therein, in whole and each part, of any nature, type, and extent, within and without the United States, in its delivered
form and any and all derivations thereof, the property of NORC and/or the Client, as shall be determined by NORC. Subcontractor
agrees to execute from time to time such documents to evidence such rights of NORC and/or the Client and cooperate with NORC in
its application for any registration and enforcement of any rights, including but not limited to patent, trademark, and copyright
applications, prosecutions, infringement actions, and similar proceedings. NORC and/or the Client shall have the right to further
transfer its rights in the Statement of Work without consent of the Subcontractor.

written consent of NORC.

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. This certification is a material representation of fact. If it is later determined that Subcontractor
knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to NORC, NORC may terminate this Subcontract

Commencement Date, and thereafter shall continue in full force and effect for the duration of the term of the Subcontractor Agreement.
Notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Subcontractor Agreement, Subcontractor shall keep Proprietary Information
in the manner required hereunder until such is determined by NORC, from time to time, to no longer be Proprietary Information.


 


(F) Exclusions.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties agree that documentation and information will not be deemed
Proprietary Information, and Subcontractor will have no obligation with respect to any such information, where
such documentation and information (i) was in the public domain prior to the effective date of this Subcontractor Agreement
or subsequently come in the public domain other than as a result of disclosure by Subcontractor, (ii) is independently
developed by Subcontractor or is known to Subcontractor at the time of disclosure, in each case without reliance on
NORC’s Proprietary Information, (iii) is approved for release without limitation pursuant to the written authorization
of NORC, (iv) is disclosed to Subcontractor from a source other than NORC without similar restriction and without breach of
this Subcontractor Agreement, or (v) is required to be disclosed, without restriction on further disclosure, by a judicial or
administrative law, regulation or proceeding after all reasonable legal remedies for maintaining such information in
confidence have been exhausted (pursuant to Subsection D, supra).


 


5.03
Prohibition on Competitive Use of NORC Information



 


Neither
Subcontractor nor any parent, subsidiary, or persons related to Subcontractor, or the respective officers, directors, members,
owners, employees, agents, and/or contractors of such, shall utilize in any manner, whether or not previously disclosed by NORC
to any other person or made generally available to the public, Proprietary Information (including but not limited to the Trade
Secrets and Confidential Information) of NORC to solicit any agreement or contractual relationship, or encourage or facilitate
others to so solicit, or enter into and/or maintain an agreement or contractual relationship, or further any pre-existing agreement
or contractual relationship, including but not limited to persons to which NORC provides or may provide any professional services.

5.04 Compliance



 


(A)
Default. Given the nature of the Proprietary Information and the interests of NORC therein, while NORC may issue notices
to cease and desist unauthorized disclosure and/or prohibited actual or reasonably anticipated competitive use, no cure period
shall be allowed; unauthorized disclosure and/or use shall be deemed an automatic Event of Default of Subcontractor’s obligations
under this Agreement.


 


(B)
Right to Equitable Remedies. Subcontractor acknowledges that monetary damages would be an insufficient remedy for any breach
of this Agreement, and that any such breach would cause NORC immediate and irreparable harm. Accordingly, Subcontractor agrees
that in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Subcontractor Agreement, Subcontractor shall not object to NORC’s
request for equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, without the requirement for NORC to post a
bond or other security, in addition to other remedies it may have at law, including monetary damages, or in equity.


 


5.05 Supplemental Client Confidentiality Agreements



 


To
the extent applicable as of the Date of the Subcontractor Agreement, or as such may arise after the Commencement Date, appended
hereto as Exhibit C are the additional terms and conditions of a confidentiality agreement required by clients of NORC (Client
Confidentiality Agreement, as defined therein). In the event such does not provide specific rights and remedies in the Event of
Default by Subcontractor, the provisions of §5.04, supra, shall apply. NORC and the Subcontractor, respectively, shall
indemnify, defend, and hold the other harmless from and against any and all breaches of said Client Confidentiality Agreement.


 


5.06
Compliance with Privacy Laws



 


Subcontractor
shall comply with any and all statutes, ordinances, rules, and regulations enacted by the federal government, any State, municipal
body, or political subdivision thereof, regarding the collection, maintenance, use, and disposition of any data from and/or regarding
survey respondents including the Privacy Act of 1974 (FAR 54.224-2) and the Protection of Human Subjects (CFR Title 45, DHHS,
Part 46), (hereafter “Privacy Laws”). To the extent that Subcontractor determines the applicability and compliance
requirements of Privacy Laws will adversely affect the Contract Requirements, including but not limited to timely delivery thereof,
Subcontractor shall give NORC prompt written notice thereof, not to exceed fifteen (15) days after the Subcontract Agreement,
specified in Section 1.02. NORC may, from time to time, request written certification and/or explanation of Subcontractor’s
compliance under Privacy Laws. NORC may, without incurring liability therefor or limiting Subcontractor’s obligations provided
above, provide within the Contract Requirements reference to specific Privacy Laws, which shall not be deemed an exclusive recitation
of any and all applicable Privacy Laws.


 


5.07 Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest



 


Prior
to execution and delivery of this Subcontract Agreement to NORC, the Subcontractor shall inform NORC in writing of any and all
then-existing relationships and/or agreements of Subcontractor with any other person which causes a conflict of interest, or which
would give a reasonable inference of a conflict of interest. The term “conflict of interest” shall be interpreted
broadly in favor of disclosure and shall include, but not be limited to, the: (A) Subcontractor’s participation in any activity
similar to the Statement of Work during the Term, (B) Subcontractor engaged in any litigation or claim against any client of NORC,
or the reasonable anticipation thereof, and/or (C) rules pertaining to such under Government Provisions of Exhibit B. If during
the Term any matter occurs or becomes known to Subcontractor which is or may reasonably be interpreted as a conflict of interest,
Subcontractor shall promptly inform in writing the Subcontract Representative designated in Section 1.01(A)(2) thereof.

5.08 Survival



 


The
covenants, terms, and conditions of this Article 5 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Subcontract Agreement.


 


6. ASSIGNMENT; SUB-SUBCONTRACT



 


Without
prior written consent of NORC, Subcontractor may not assign, subcontract, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer or permit
the transfer of this Subcontract Agreement, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise.


 


7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY



 


Subcontractor
and NORC, respectively, agree to indemnify and hold the other harmless against any and all claims, demands, judgments, costs and
expenses for injury to person and/or properly, including reasonable attorney’s fees for the defense thereof, arising from
such indemnifying party’s actions or omissions under this Subcontract Agreement, from any breach or default on the part
of such indemnifying party in the performance of any covenant or agreement hereunder, and from any act of negligence of such party
and that of its agents, servants, employees, and/or contractors. In case of any action or proceeding brought against the indemnified
party by reason of any such claim, the indemnifying party covenants to defend such action or proceeding, including appeals therefrom,
with counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party.


 


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, NORC’s liability to Subcontractor hereunder whether arising in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise,
shall not, under any circumstances, exceed the aggregate Payment Schedule.


 


8. CHANGES



 


a.
Permitted Changes. NORC shall have the right by written notice to make changes from time to time in the Services to be rendered
or the Products to be furnished by Subcontractor hereunder, including, but not limited to, changes to the delivery or performance
schedule, the quantity of Products or Services ordered, the Work Statement, the place of inspection, delivery, or acceptance,
and the amount of NORC or NORC Customer furnished property, if any.


 


b.
Request for Equitable Adjustment and Duty to Proceed. If any such change causes an increase or decrease in the cost of performance
of this Subcontract or in the time required for its performance, NORC may make an equitable adjustment in the Subcontract price
or delivery schedule or both and shall modify this Subcontract in writing accordingly. To the extent that Subcontractor seeks
an increase in price or extended schedule as a result of a change, Subcontractor must submit a written and fully supported request
for equitable adjustment within ten (10) days from the date of NORC’s written notice to Subcontractor of the change or such
further time as NORC may allow in writing. Subcontractor’s failure to adhere to the time deadlines in submitting its
equitable adjustment proposal shall waive Subcontractor’s right to an equitable adjustment. Subcontractor shall proceed
with the Subcontract as changed pending resolution of any request for equitable adjustment. The parties’ failure to agree
to any adjustment shall be a Dispute covered by Sections 14 and 15 of these General Provisions.


 


c.
Change Based on Prime Contract Change. If NORC issues a change based on a  change in the Prime Contract, the equitable
adjustment to Subcontractor, if any, in price or delivery schedule or both, will in no event be greater for an increase in
price or schedule or less for a decrease in price or schedule than the corresponding equitable adjustment to NORC under the
Prime Contract, excluding NORC’s performance costs, overhead, profit, and schedule impacts associated with the
change.

d.
Signature Required by NORC Purchasing Representative. Information, advice, approvals or instructions given by NORC’s technical
personnel or other representatives shall be deemed expressions of personal opinion only and shall not affect NORC’s and
Subcontractor’s rights and obligations hereunder unless set forth in a writing which is signed by NORC’s purchasing
representative and which states that it constitutes an amendment or change to this Subcontract.


 


9. TERMINATION FOR DEFAULT.



 


NORC,
at its option, may terminate this Subcontract, in whole or in part, for default (in addition to any other rights and remedies
provided at law) if any of the following acts of default occur: (1) Subcontractor’s performance under the Subcontract is
in default: (2) Subcontractor materially breaches any provision of this Subcontract; (3) Subcontractor becomes involved in or
with a petition under any bankruptcy act or similar statute which is not vacated within 30 days after such filing; or (4) any
other reason set forth in this Subcontract. Such termination for default shall be effective upon receipt by Subcontractor of a
written notice of termination for default issued by NORC. The notice of termination for default shall be preceded by a letter
briefly describing the conditions of default and offering Subcontractor not less than 5 days to cure the default unless NORC’s
Customer has terminated or threatened to terminate NORC’s contract without an opportunity to cure. After receipt of a notice
of a complete or partial termination for default, Subcontractor shall: (i) stop affected Work; (ii) terminate all affected subcontracts;
(iii) return all NORC and NORC Customer property or equipment to NORC; (iv) complete performance of any Subcontract work not terminated;
and (v) take such other and further action as may be reasonably required by NORC.


 


In
the event that NORC properly terminates this Subcontract for default, either in whole or in part, Subcontractor shall only receive
payment (less amounts covered by any NORC right of setoff) under the terminated portion of the Subcontract for Subcontract-compliant
Work provided to and accepted by NORC prior to the effective date of such termination and only to the extent that NORC’s
Customer first pays for such Work. Subcontractor shall submit a request for payment under the terminated Subcontract, or terminated
portion of the Subcontract, within 30 days after termination. In no event shall Subcontractor be entitled to receive payment on
Work for which NORC’s Customer will not pay. In the event of a partial termination for default, Subcontractor shall not
be entitled to an equitable adjustment to the non-terminated portion of the Subcontract. Moreover, in the event of a termination
for default, NORC may procure substitute services, deliverables, and/or supplies, to satisfy the obligations set forth in the
Subcontract or portion of the Subcontract terminated. Upon a termination for default, Subcontractor shall be liable to NORC for
all expenses incurred by NORC that would not have been incurred had Subcontractor performed pursuant to this Subcontract including,
but not limited to, the increased costs of (and associated with) any substitute services, deliverables, and supplies procured.
NORC’s remedies provided for in this provision shall be in addition to any other remedy available to NORC by law or as otherwise
provided for in this Subcontract, and this provision shall survive any termination of this Subcontract. In the event that NORC
improperly terminates this Subcontract for default, the termination shall be treated as a termination for convenience and Subcontractor
shall be entitled only to receive payment in accord with the provisions of Section 11 below.


 


10. STOP WORK ORDER



 


NORC
may direct the Subcontractor to stop work under this Subcontract Agreement at any time (“Stop Work Order’’).
The Subcontractor will be reimbursed only for those costs actually incurred prior to the Stop Work Order, contingent upon full
reimbursement to NORC by the Client under the Prime Contract for these costs.


 




    	 



    	SUBCONTRACT AGREEMENT
8300. PRECISION OPINION. 01
	PAGE 14



    

 


(A)
Under the Prime Contract, the Contracting Officer may, at any time, by written order to NORC, require NORC to stop all or any
part of the Work called for by the Prime Contract. After the order is delivered to NORC, and for any further period to which the
parties may agree, the Contracting Officer may also cancel the stop Work order or terminate the Work covered by such order. Immediately
upon receipt of any stop Work order that affects the Work called for under this Subcontract, NORC shall direct Subcontractor to
stop all or any part of the Work called for under this Subcontract for a period corresponding to the period of the Contracting
Officer’s order to NORC or any agreed to extensions thereof, or such other period to which NORC and Subcontractor may agree.


 


(B)
If a Stop Work Order issued to Subcontractor under this article is canceled by NORC or the period of such order or any extension
thereof expires, Subcontractor shall resume Work upon receipt of written notice by NORC to do so. In such event, an equitable
adjustment shall be made in the delivery schedule or cost of this Subcontract Agreement if:


 


(l)
The Stop Work Order resulted in an increase or decrease in the cost of or the time required for the performance of any part of
the Work to be performed under this Subcontract and,


 


(2)
Subcontractor asserts a claim for such adjustment within thirty (30) days after the end of the period of Work stoppage and,


 


(3)
Said claim is approved by the Contracting Officer or Client.


 


(C)
If a Stop Work Order is not canceled and the Work covered by such order is terminated by NORC either for convenience or default,
such termination shall be handled in accordance with the “Termination” provisions of this Subcontract. Reasonable
costs resulting from the Stop Work Order shall be allowed as part of the termination settlement.


 


(D)
In the event that the Subcontractor receives an order to stop work and is unable to provide continued funding for personnel on
the project or is unable to assure that it will be able to resume work using such personnel, Subcontractor may immediately issue
a written termination notice to NORC.


 


11. TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE



 


NORC
may terminate this Subcontract for convenience, in whole or in part, without advance notice in the event that: (i)
NORC’s Customer terminates, for any reason (e.g., default or convenience), the Prime Contract; (ii) NORC’s
Customer terminates, for any reason, any part of the Prime Contract if this Subcontract relates (in whole or in part) to the
portion terminated. NORC also may terminate this Subcontract for convenience, in whole or in part, if NORC deems such
termination to be in NORC’s best interest regardless of whether NORC’s Prime Contract is terminated. After
receipt of a notice of partial or total termination for convenience, Subcontractor shall (unless otherwise directed by NORC
in writing): (i) stop affected Work; (ii) terminate all affected subcontracts; (iii) return all NORC and NORC Customer
property or equipment to NORC; (iv) deliver to NORC, retain (with an appropriate credit to NORC), or dispose of all other
Subcontract supplies, deliverables, or equipment (with an appropriate credit to NORC); (v) complete performance of any
Subcontract work not terminated; and (vi) take such other and further action as may be reasonably required by NORC. In the
event of a partial termination for convenience, Subcontractor may request (in writing and within 30 days of the termination
for convenience) an equitable adjustment for the non-terminated portion of the work to the extent the termination for
convenience impacted the continuing work. Subcontractor shall only receive such an equitable adjustment if NORC’s
Customer provides NORC with a corresponding equitable adjustment.


 




    	 



    	SUBCONTRACT AGREEMENT
8300. PRECISION OPINION. 01
	PAGE 15



    

 


Subcontractor
shall submit a detailed and documented Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”) compliant termination for convenience
settlement proposal under the terminated Subcontract, or terminated portion of the Subcontract, within 60 days after termination.
Absent NORC written consent (which NORC may withhold for any reason), Subcontractor shall not seek any costs as part of its termination
for convenience settlement proposal which are not allowed by FAR Part 31 and FAR Subparts 49.1 and 49.2, and the provisions referenced
therein. If this Subcontract is terminated for convenience in whole or in part pursuant to this Section _ and notwithstanding
the preceding sentence, NORC shall not be liable to Subcontractor for anything more than allowed for under the payment provisions
of this Subcontract (on a percentage performed basis) for Work performed before the effective date of the termination and may
only recover amounts recovered by NORC from NORC’s Customer (except where the NORC Customer did not issue a termination).

14. DISPUTES



 


a.
Arbitration. Except for the right of either party to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for a temporary restraining order,
a preliminary injunction, or other equitable relief to preserve the status quo or prevent irreparable harm, the parties agree
that any Dispute between them or against any agent, employee, successor, or assign of the other shall be settled, to the extent
possible, by good faith negotiations. Any Dispute which the parties cannot resolve by good faith negotiations within thirty (30)
days or such longer period as the parties may mutually agree to, shall be submitted and finally resolved by binding arbitration
under the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect. The arbitration
shall be conducted by a panel of three arbitrators in Chicago, Illinois unless both parties consent in writing to a different
location. The panel of arbitrators shall be appointed by agreement between the parties or failing such agreement in accordance
with AAA rules. The parties may conduct discovery pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Evidence. The chairperson
of the arbitration panel shall, among other things: (a) have authority to resolve discovery disputes and issue appropriate subpoenas
and orders to facilitate discovery; (b) rule on dispositive motions, and (c) conduct the arbitration according to the Federal
Rules of Evidence. The arbitration panel shall have authority to award monetary damages, declaratory judgments, specific performance,
and injunctive and other equitable relief, which shall be enforceable by either the panel or any court with jurisdiction over
the enjoined party or its assets. Either party may also, without waiving any remedy under this Subcontract, seek from any court
having jurisdiction over the parties or its assets any interim or provisional relief that is necessary to protect the rights or
property of that party, pending the establishment of the arbitral panel (or pending the arbitral panel’s determination of
the merits of the controversy). The arbitration panel shall not have authority to award punitive, special or consequential damages
or any other damages not available under this Subcontract. The arbitration panel also shall not have the power to modify or amend
the provisions of this Subcontract except in accord with Section 8. The Arbitration panel shall apply the law specified in Section
17.06. Subcontractor and NORC will pay their own attorneys’ fees and expert fees and other costs related to prosecuting
or defending any Dispute, but shall share equally the costs and fees associated with the arbitration hearing and the panel.



 


b.
Waiver of Trial. THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE HAD A RIGHT TO LITIGATE THROUGH A COURT AND TO HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY
DECIDE THEIR CASE, BUT, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE INDICATED IN THIS SUBCONTRACT, THEY KNOWINGLY CHOSE TO WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JUDGE
OR JURY TRIAL AND, INSTEAD, HAVE ANY AND ALL DISPUTES DECIDED BY ARBITRATION. THE PARTIES SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS MUTUAL
WAIVER IS MADE KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY AFTER AN ADEQUATE OPPORTUNITY TO NEGOTIATE ITS TERMS.


 


c.
Third-party Joinder. Except as otherwise provided herein, in the event that any unrelated third party is joined in any Dispute
between the parties, the disputes procedures set forth in this Section 14 or 15 nevertheless shall apply to compel the resolution
of any Dispute between the parties hereto.


 


d.
Duty to Proceed. Until final resolution of any Dispute hereunder, Subcontractor shall proceed diligently with the performance
of this Subcontract unless otherwise directed by NORC in writing.


 


15. DISPUTES UNDER PRIME CONTRACT PROVISION.



 


a.
Pass Through. Notwithstanding Section 14, any Dispute arising under or related to this Subcontract, which NORC could include in
a claim or other demand under the disputes provisions of its Prime Contract (including, but not limited to, any issued related
to NORC Customer actions or directions) shall be resolved, at NORC’s option, as follows: (i) Subcontractor shall provide
NORC with a fully supported written claim, properly certified, within twenty (20) days after the claim accrues or such longer
time as NORC allows in writing; (ii) Subcontractor shall cooperate with NORC in prosecuting Subcontractor’s timely made
claim or demand and will be bound by the resulting decision; and (iii) Subcontractor shall pay its proportional costs in pursuing
the claim. If Subcontractor fails to provide NORC with a written claim for any Dispute that could fall within this Section within
twenty (20) days after the claim arises or a longer provided if allowed by NORC in writing, Subcontractor shall have waived the
claim and may not bring the claim under this Subcontract.

b.
Limitation of NORC Liability. NORC’s entire liability to Subcontractor with respect to any matter prosecuted under the
Prime Contract disputes clause shall be limited to the recovery obtained against NORC’s Customer for Subcontractor’s
claims, less markups specifically allowed NORC. If Subcontractor is affected by the resulting decision and NORC elects lo
appeal, Subcontractor shall pay to NORC Subcontractor’s proportion of the appeal costs. If NORC elects not to appeal
the decision, NORC shall notify Subcontractor of such decision within thirty (30) days. If Subcontractor submits a timely
request to NORC to appeal such decision, NORC shall file an appeal, at Subcontractor’s sole cost, if NORC may do so in
good faith. NORC has the right to review, prior to submission, any pleading or other papers Subcontractor wants to file in
such appeal. Subcontractor agrees to delete any admissions or statements in the pleadings or papers to which NORC reasonably
objects. If NORC appeals such decision, whether or not at Subcontractor’s request, any decision regarding such appeal
shall be binding on NORC and Subcontractor as it relates to this Subcontract.


 


c.
Subcontractor Duty lo Proceed. Until final resolution of any Dispute hereunder, Subcontractor shall proceed diligently with the
performance of this Subcontract unless NORC otherwise directs in writing.


 


16. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.



 


CLAIMS

DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL NORC’S LIABILITY EXCEED THE PRICE PAYABLE FOR THE WORK TO BE PERFORMED BY SUBCONTRACTOR UNDER
THIS SUBCONTRACT. IN NO EVENT WILL SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR LOST PROFIT DAMAGES, BE AVAILABLE
TO SUBCONTRACTOR WITH RESPECT TO ANY ALLEGED BREACH OR OTHER CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY
OR OTHERWISE) RELATING TO THIS SUBCONTRACT.

STATEMENT
OF WORK


 


A.
Services



 


Subcontractor
shall conduct interviews and research services for NORC (“Research Services”) comprised of administering research
surveys (each, a “Client Survey”) by telephone from Subcontractor’s offices from the pool of telephone
numbers (hereafter referred to as “Sample”) provided by NORC.


 


B.
Subcontractor Responsibilities



 


In
performing the Research Services, it is anticipated that the Subcontractor will be required to staff between 60 to 120 interviewing
stations (depending on CDC funded activities). It is further anticipated that each station will be required to support, on average
between 20 and 30 hours per week. To support daily production, Subcontractor will provide a telephone center manager; staffed
monitoring stations; floor supervisors; and clerical support, as necessary, each day on which interviewing occurs.


 


The
Subcontractor will recruit, screen and hire prospective interviewers and supervisors in accordance with NORC’s requirements,
and to the extent available, it will assign interviewers and supervisors to work on NORC projects who are already working at Precision
Opinion. The Subcontractor will consult with NORC in the event that circumstances (e.g., rapid and significant ramp-up required
to meet a new Task Order) require the Subcontractor to recruit new interviewers to work on NORC projects. All Subcontractor data
collection personnel will attend the required project-specific training. A trained Subcontractor staff Member (along with NORC
personnel, as needed) will conduct training at Subcontractor’s telephone center in Las Vegas, Nevada. The training hours
assume Subcontractor will provide all orientation information and non-project specific training for its supervisors/monitors and
interviewers. For project specific training, interviewers will attend 24 hours of initial project training related to the Government’s
Task Order #1 (NIS-Core) and Task Order #2 (NIS-Teen) combined, 4 hours of refusal aversion training, and 3 hours refresher training
each quarter. Supervisors and monitors will attend 24 hours of initial interviewer project training, 15 hours of monitoring/supervisor
training, 4 hours of interviewer refusal aversion training, and 3 hours of interviewer refresher training each quarter. The hours
required for training are subject to change based on experience. NORC will provide train-the-trainer training, and all subsequent
trainings will be conducted by Subcontractor.


 


On
a monthly basis, the Subcontractor will submit production reports including hours charged by interviewer by project code. In addition,
Subcontractor telephone center manager and project manager will attend telephone conferences calls with NORC, as needed, at a
time mutually agreed upon by NORC and the Subcontractor.


 




    	 



    	SUBCONTRACT AGREEMENT
8300. PRECISION OPINION. 01
	PAGE 22



    

 


The
Subcontractor will use its reasonable commercial efforts to complete Client Surveys in accordance with the performance thresholds
set forth in Section D below, “Reports and Deliverables.” Performance will be reviewed each week to monitor progress
toward the completed-interview and productivity goals. Performance indicators to be reviewed include hours per completed interview,
completed interviews to date, and proportion of interviews which include partially completed interviews, based on disposition
codes developed by NORC. In addition, the Subcontractor’s telephone supervisory staff will monitor 10% of all interviewer
hours using an audio-visual system and will adopt the quality assurance program of the NORC.


 


NORC
will train the Subcontractor on Schedule Source, a web-based tool used to schedule and track interviewer hours. The Subcontractor
will use this system on a daily basis.


 


Subcontractor
will provide workstations, including computers, telephones, and headsets, for interviewers and supervisors/monitors.


 


Subcontractor
will be responsible for complying with all confidentiality and security protections specified by the CDC.


 


C.
NORC’s Responsibilities



 


Sample
will be centrally and remotely controlled from the Chicago office of NORC.


 


NORC
will provide the Subcontractor with the reports necessary to evaluate interviewer quality and production for both individual interviewers
and the subcontractor production facilities.


 


NORC
will establish VOIP communications line between NORC’s Chicago facility and the Subcontractor’s offices. NORC will
also maintain security measures on its servers in its Chicago facility.


 


D.

4 CDC0-H022 Smoke Free Working Environment (May 2009)


 


In
compliance with Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) regulations, all contractor personnel performing work within CDC/ATSDR
facilities shall observe the CDC/ATSDR smoke-free working environment policy at all times. This policy prohibits smoking in all
CDC/ATSDR buildings and in front of buildings which are open to the public. This policy is also applicable to contractor personnel
who do not work full-time within CDC/ATSDR facilities, but are attending meetings within CDC/ATSDR facilities.


 


(End
of Clause)


 


H.5
CDC0-H055: Smoke Free Environment Certification (February 2009)


 


The
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recognizes that secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure poses serious health risks to
nonsmokers. SHS exposure in the workplace has been linked to an increased risk for heart disease and lung cancer among adult nonsmokers.
SHS has been designated as a known carcinogen (cancer-causing agent) by the National Toxicology Program of the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency and by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). The National Institute for Occupational Safety
and Health has concluded that SHS is an occupational carcinogen. There is no risk-free level of SHS exposure. Separating smokers
from nonsmokers, cleaning the air, and ventilating buildings cannot eliminate this exposure. SHS is an important preventable cause
of death from cancer and other illnesses, and many Americans, both adults and children, remain at significant risk from SHS exposure.


 


It
is the CDC’s intent to protect the health of all CDC employees and reduce cancer and other serious health hazards caused
by SHS exposure. Therefore, all meetings and conferences organized and/or sponsored or co-sponsored by the CDC shall be held in
a conference venue that provides a smoke-free environment. A smoke free conference venue is defined as a venue that makes ALL
public places in the hotel and in all meeting facilities smoke-free. This includes, but is not limited to, meeting rooms, common
areas such as lobbies and hallways, all indoor public spaces, all indoor employee work areas, restaurants (including restaurant
bar areas), and lounges.


 


Conferences
include symposia, seminars, workshops, and any other organized and formal meeting lasting one or more days, where CDC personnel
assemble to exchange information and views or explore or clarify a defined subject, problem, or area of knowledge.

CERTIFICATION:
Offeror’s acceptance of any resulting contract certifies that the meeting/conference venue provided is “smoke
free” and that all CDC personnel attending said meeting/conference will be doing so in a smoke-free environment.

(a)
Notification is hereby given that the Contractor and its employees are subject to criminal penalties for violation of the Privacy
Act to the same extent as employees of the Government. The Contractor shall assure that each of its employees knows the prescribed
rules of conduct and that each is aware that he or she can be subjected to criminal penalty for violation of the Act. A copy of
45 CFR Part 5b, Privacy Act Regulations, may be obtained at http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text/text idx?c=ecfr&tpl=%2Findex.tpl.


 


(b)
The Contracting Officer Technical Representative is hereby designated as the official who is responsible for monitoring contractor
compliance with the Privacy Act.

H.
7 System of Records (SOR) Notice


 


Contractors
shall abide by all requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974. Pursuant to those requirements, the contractor shall work with the
OPDIV system owner or designee and the OPDIV Privacy Act Officer to publish a System of Record (SOR) notice in the Federal Register
when a new System of Records is to be created and will publish an updated (SOR) notice following a “major change” as
defined by Office of Management and Budget Memorandum 03-22 or subsequent replacement guidance.

I.7
52.237-3 Continuity of Services (Jan 1991)


 


(a)
The Contractor recognizes that the services under this contract are vital to the Government and must be continued without interruption
and that, upon contract expiration, a successor, either the Government or another contractor, may continue them. The Contractor
agrees to-


 


(1)
Furnish phase-in training; and


 


(2)
Exercise its best efforts and cooperation to effect an orderly and efficient transition to a successor.


 


(b)
The Contractor shall, upon the Contracting Officer’s written notice, (1) furnish phase-in, phase-out services for up to
90 days after this contract expires and (2) negotiate in good faith a plan with a successor to determine the nature and extent
of phase-in, phase-out services required. The plan shall specify a training program and a date for transferring responsibilities
for each division of work described in the plan, and shall be subject to the Contracting Officer’s approval. The Contractor
shall provide sufficient experienced personnel during the phase- in, phase-out period to ensure that the services called for by
this contract are maintained at the required level of proficiency.


 


(c)
The Contractor shall allow as many personnel as practicable to remain on the job to help the successor maintain the continuity
and consistency of the services required by this contract. The Contractor also shall disclose necessary personnel records and
allow the successor to conduct on-site interviews with these employees. If selected employees are agreeable to the change, the
Contractor shall release them at a mutually agreeable date and negotiate transfer of their earned fringe benefits to the successor.


 


(d)
The Contractor shall be reimbursed for all reasonable phase- in, phase-out costs (i.e., costs incurred within the agreed period
after contract expiration that result from phase-in, phase-out operations) and a fee (profit) not to exceed a pro rata portion
of the fee (profit) under this contract.
