SCHEDULE

 

SECTION A
 -  INTRODUCTION

 

This Task Ordering Agreement, effective July 26, 2002, is hereby
made and entered into by and between the Regents of the University of
California, a constitutional corporation and instrumentality of the State of
California, hereinafter called the “University” and Eberline Services, Inc.,
hereinafter called the “Subcontractor”, whose principal offices are located at
7201 Pan American Freeway NE, Albuquerque, NM.

 

The University has entered into Contract No. W-7405-Eng-36 as
modified (hereinafter called the Prime Contract) with the U.S. Government
(hereinafter called the “Government”) represented by the Department
of Energy (hereinafter called the “DOE”) for the performance of certain
research and development work at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. This
Agreement is entered into in furtherance of the performance of the work
provided for in the Prime Contract.

 

By accepting this Agreement, the Subcontractor agrees to perform any
tasks ordered by the University pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with
the following terms and conditions. No other terms or conditions shall be
binding upon the parties unless accepted by them in writing.

 

Some of the requirements herein for University approval are imposed by
the Prime Contract, statute, or governmental regulation. The Subcontractor
recognizes that failure to obtain approvals may jeopardize its reimbursement
for costs accrued hereunder. All requests for University approval hereunder
shall be directed to the person designated in Section E of this Agreement
as the University Contract Administrator.

 

SECTION B  -  SUPPLIES AND SERVICES TO BE DELIVERED

 

The Subcontractor shall furnish qualified personnel, equipment, and
facilities to perform the Waste Management Technical Support services in
accordance with Appendix B, the Statement of Work for this Task Ordering
Agreement (Appendix B) dated June 1, 2001. This Task Ordering Agreement
shall be subject to the terms of special provision F-22 entitled “Indefinite
Quantity”. Specific work scope will be defined within each task order issued by
the University pursuant to this agreement. The University is guaranteeing that
the aggregate value of task orders awarded during the initial five (5) year
term of this Master Task Ordering Agreement will, at a minimum, total
$1,000,000.00. This Agreement does not state or imply any obligation of the
University to place any task orders with the Subcontractor in excess of
$1,000,000.00, which is therefore, the minimum guaranteed amount established
for this Subcontract that will be awarded against a maximum amount of
$20,000,000.00, within the specified period through July 15, 2007. The
University reserves the right to place no further Task Orders with the
Subcontractor after issuance of a Task Order or Task Orders that are
cumulatively valued at $1,000,000.00. The University also reserves the right to
place orders or create subcontracts with other Subcontractors or subcontractors
for the same types of services as are described within the Statement of Work
for this Subcontract.

A.                                   Task
orders issued pursuant to this agreement may be priced as fixed-price, fixed
unit price, and time and materials, as determined to be appropriate by the
University. Schedule and/or performance incentives may be included in
individual task orders when determined to be appropriate by the University.

 

B.                                     The

by the University.

 

C.                                     Pricing
of Task Orders

priced using the labor Billing Rates listed in Appendix E and/or Fixed Unit
Prices listed in Appendix F for the first twelve-month period of the agreement
term. Labor effort under task orders priced on a 

 

5

 

time and materials basis shall be priced and reimbursed using the Fixed
Hourly Rates listed in Appendix F for the first six- month period of the
agreement term. Billing Rates and Fixed Hourly Rates for each subsequent twelve
month period shall be established by multiplying the unburdened hourly rates
for the preceding period by the percent change (+ or -) ending in the 6th,
18th, 30th, and 42nd month of the agreement term as published in the Employment
Cost Index, wages and salaries, by occupation and industry group Professional
specialty and technical occupations of Private Industry Workers in the Monthly

shall be established by multiplying the then current unit prices by the percent
change (+ or -) ending in the 6th, 18th, 30th,
and 42nd month of the agreement term as published in the Employment
Cost Index (ECI) for wages and salaries, by similar occupation and industrial
group. Cost reimbursable proposals shall be priced using the Subcontractor’s
current cost and pricing data at the time of proposal submittal. The University
will not pay for proposal preparation as a direct cost.

 

(2)                                  If
during the term of this Agreement, the Subcontractor determines that a category
of labor not already listed in Appendix E or Appendix G is necessary for fulfillment
of the agreement objectives, the Subcontractor shall notify the University
Contract Administrator.  Upon submission
of necessary documentation by the Subcontractor, the parties may negotiate the
Fixed Hourly Rate for the additional category for inclusion in Appendix E or
Appendix G by a modification to this agreement.

 

D.                                    Fixed
Price Task Orders

 

The University shall be obligated only to pay the Fixed Price for labor
stated in task orders priced on a fixed-price basis.  The Subcontractor shall be obligated to
complete all work called for in such task orders.  The subcontractor shall be reimbursed for
direct labor expended in performance of fixed-price task orders issued pursuant
to this Agreement at the billing rates used in pricing each respective task
order.  Reimbursable costs shall be
reimbursed at actual cost.

 

E.                                      Fixed-Unit
Priced Task Orders

and Materials Task Orders

 

(1)                                  The
Subcontractor will be reimbursed for direct labor effort actually expended in
performing task orders that are priced on a Time and Materials basis at the
Fixed Hourly Rates stated in the task orders. Reimbursements to the
Subcontractor for 

 

6

 

direct labor effort shall not exceed the amount stated in each task
order as the maximum amount of the University’s liability for Direct Labor
Charges.

 

(2)                                  If
Other Direct Charges (materials) are needed for performance of work called for
in time and materials task orders and if the Fixed Hourly Rates listed in
Appendix E do not include an allocation for such costs, funds may be allotted
in task orders for reimbursement of such charges. The Subcontractor shall only
be reimbursed for Other Direct Charges when funds are allotted in task
orders.  Reimbursement to the
Subcontractor for Other Direct Charges shall be for actual cost and shall not
exceed the amount stated in each task order as the maximum amount of the
University’s liability for Other Direct Charges.

 

(3)                                  Direct
labor charges or other direct charges that exceed the stated maximum amounts
for each category shall not be reimbursed by the University to the
Subcontractor even if the task order ceiling price has not been breached.

 

(4)                                  The
Cost Principles and Procedures of Subpart 31.2 of the Federal Acquisition

establishing allowability and allocability for costs. Profit shall not be paid
on reimbursements for other direct charges.

 

(5)                                  The
total cost to the University for the performance of work called for under time
and materials task orders issued under this Agreement shall not exceed the
ceiling price set forth in each task order. If at any time prior to the
completion date of a task order the Subcontractor has reason to believe that
the work cannot be completed within the maximum amounts stated for direct labor
charges or other direct charges of the stated ceiling price, he shall promptly
notify the University Contract Administrator in writing providing either a
request to reallocate the maximum amounts for direct labor charges and other
direct charges or a revised estimate of the total cost to complete the work,
including supporting reasons and documentation.

 

(6)                                  The
University will not pay the Subcontractor any amount in excess of the ceiling
price set forth in each task order. The Subcontractor is not obligated to
continue performance or otherwise incur costs in excess of the ceiling price or
the maximum amounts for direct labor charges or other direct charges unless and
until the University Contract Administrator has notified the Subcontractor in
writing that the ceiling price and/or the appropriate maximum amount has been
increased and specifies the revised maximum amounts and, if appropriate, the
revised ceiling price.

 

G.                                     No
acceleration of effort will be undertaken or reimbursed under time and
materials unless advance written approval is given to the Subcontractor by the
University Contract Administrator.

 

H.                                    Task
orders shall be substantially in the formats of Appendices H and I.

STATEMENT OF WORK

 

TECHNICAL SERVICES IN SUPPORT OF WASTE
MANAGEMENT

ACTIVITIES AT LOS ALAMOS NATIONAL LABORATORY

 

1.0                                 INTRODUCTION

 

The Regents of the University of California, operating the Los Alamos
National Laboratory (LANL), for the Department of Energy, hereafter referred,
as the “University” is a multi-program Research and Development Facility. The
principal missions of LANL include research, design, development, and analysis
of nuclear weapons components; national interest research programs; energy and
environmental research; and environmental management. The LANL facility
consists of 49 technical areas (TAs). A number of these TA’s generate
radioactive (TRU & LLRW), chemical, hazardous, and mixed (hazardous +
radioactive) wastes as a result of research and development activities,
processing and recovery operations, and decontamination and decommissioning
(D&D) projects.

 

The Facility and Waste Operations Division (FWO) is responsible for the
management of radioactive, hazardous, chemical, and solid (Sanitary) wastes
generated by the laboratory in the performance of its mission. The two groups
within FWO (Solid Waste Operations and Waste Facility Management) are charged
with the responsibility for managing this waste. Nuclear Materials Technology
(NMT) Division operates the TA-55 Plutonium Facility and the Chemical &
Metallorgical Research Facility. Within this Division, NMT-7 provides waste
management support for these facilities. The Environmental Science and Waste
Technology (E) Division, in addition to other responsibilities, is
responsible for the Transuranic Waste Certification-Pre Division’s
Environmental Technology group is specifically responsible for this activity.
All of these groups require support services for expert waste management
technical support in the areas of regulatory compliance, environmental
compliance, safety compliance, quality assurance / quality control, waste
management program support, waste management technical support, on-site
technical support, simulation modeling, Transuranic Waste Program support, and
training support.

 

2.0                                 BACKGROUND

 

FWO is responsible for oversight to ensure the safe, compliant, and
efficient management of all waste generated as a result of activities at the
laboratory. Within FWO, two separate groups provide functional waste management
support to the laboratory. These groups are Solid Waste Operations (SWO) and
Waste Facility Management (WFM).

 

Solid Waste Operations (FWO-SWO) is responsible for managing the
receipt, characterization, storage, processing, treatment, transportation, and
disposal of all solid waste generated by Laboratory-related activities in full
compliance with Federal and State laws and regulations and 

 

23

 

DOE orders. Waste is managed in a safe and efficient manner, which
reduces risks to the public, workers, and the environment. The types of wastes
handled by SWO includes solid (sanitary) waste, New Mexico Special Waste, RCRA
hazardous waste, TSCA regulated wastes, chemical waste, low-level radioactive
waste, TRU waste, and low-level and TRU mixed wastes.

 

To accomplish its responsibilities SWO operates a number of waste
management facilities. These facilities include:

 

•                                          A
low-level radioactive waste disposal facility, located in TA-54 Area G, with a
disposal authorization granted and a performance assessment approved by DOE HQ;

 

•                                          A
low-level, and TRU storage facility in TA-54 Area G;

 

•                                          A
New Mexico permitted TSDF for the storage of hazardous waste, low-level mixed
waste and TRU mixed waste located in TA-54 Area L & G;

 

•                                          An
EPA permitted TSCA storage facility in Area L;

 

•                                          A
New Mexico permitted asbestos transfer facility located in TA-54 Area J;

 

•                                          An
exempt Material Recycle Facility for the removal of recyclable and prohibited
materials and the processing and baling of the laboratories solid waste; and

 

•                                          A
Radioactive Decontamination and Recycling Facility located in TA-54.

 

Waste Facility Management (FWO-WFM) is responsible for the management
of all radioactive waste management facilities operated by FWO. In addition,
WFM is responsible for the collection and treatment of radioactive contaminated
and potentially contaminated water-based waste generated by Laboratory related
activities in full compliance with Federal and State laws and regulations and
DOE orders. To effectively manage this waste, separation processes are used to
concentrate the radioactive constituents into solids. The solids are either
disposed of as low-level radioactive waste at TA-54 Area G, or stored as TRU
waste at TA-54 Area G pending final disposal at WIPP. The treated water is
discharged into Mortandad Canyon under an EPA NPDES permit. Most waste is
received through a network of buried pipelines, generally referred to as the
radioactive liquid waste collection system. 
Some radioactive liquid waste is, however, transported to the treatment
facility by truck.

 

As the Facility Manager, WFM is responsible for:

 

•                                          Determining
waste management facilities operating limits through the hazard analysis process
including the development of Safety Analysis Reports, Development and
maintenance of Area G Performance Assessment under DOE 0 435.1, USQ
determinations, and other activities associated with the facilities
Authorization Basis;

 

•                                          Efficient
and effective maintenance of the waste management facilities structures,
systems, and components capabilities and assets;

 

•                                          Training
and qualification of waste management personnel;

 

24

 

•                                          Emergency
Preparedness at waste management facilities;

 

•                                          Quality
Assurance, Industrial Safety, and Radiological Protection activities in support
of waste management activities.

 

•                                          The
authorization of new or expanded work activities within the Waste Management
Facilities.

 

To accomplish its radioactive liquid waste treatment responsibilities,
WFM operates a number of waste management facilities. These facilities include:

 

•                                          The
Radioactive Liquid Waste Treatment Facility at TA-50;

 

•                                          The
DP plant located at TA-21 building 257; and

 

•                                          The
Radioactive Liquid Waste system at TA-53.

 

The LANL organization responsible for implementation of the Transuranic
(TRU) Waste Characterization/ Certification Program (TWCP) is the Environmental
Science and Waste Technology (E) Division, Environmental Technology Group
(ET). The LANL TWCP Site Project Manager in E-ET is responsible for overseeing
all TWCP activities at LANL.

 

The TWCP consists of personnel who sample and analyze waste; validate
and report data; waste certification; transportation; and provide project
management, quality assurance, audit and assessment, training and records
management support, all in accordance with established requirements for
disposal of TRU waste at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) facility.

 

TWCP personnel characterize TRU waste on a waste stream basis by
obtaining chemical, radiological, and physical data. A waste stream is defined
as a waste material generated from a single process or activity that is similar
in material, physical form, and hazardous constituents. The TWCP characterizes
and certifies retrievably stored and newly generated TRU waste using acceptable
knowledge, testing, sampling, and analytical techniques to meet specific data
quality objectives.

 

The TWCP operates under the Quality Assurance (QA) Program outlined by
the Carlsbad Area Office (CBFO), the WIPP Waste Acceptance Criteria and the
WIPP Resource and Recovery Act (RCRA) Permit. (The WIPP Waste Acceptance
Criteria and the WIPP Resource Recovery Act Permit can be accessed at
WWW.Wipp.carlsbad.nm.usi) The provisions of the program apply to all programs
and projects managed by the CBFO which require a QA program including activities-related-to-waste-,
regulatory-compliance, and nuclear safety. This program is developed and
maintained through an ongoing process that applies the varied QA program
criteria. The program delineates the quality contributions expected of all
personnel and encourages active participation in implementing the QA program.

 

NMT-7 is the centralized waste management activity for both the TA-55
Plutonium Facility and the Chemical & Metallurgical Research Facility.
These facilities are one of the major operational and research &
development facilities within LANL. NMT-7 is the infrastructure support
organization for the major waste generator within the Laboratory and generates
considerable 

 

25

 

quantities of TRU, LLRW, chemical, hazardous, and mixed wastes. The CMR
facility is currently undergoing extensive modifications. As a result, NMT-7 is
responsible for the management of D&D waste generated as a result of this
activity. The work described herein, may be coordinated by the Contract
Administrator through NMT-7, to supply direct support to other NMT Groups
operating within TA-55 and CMR.

34

 

2                                         NORTHERN
NEW MEXICO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN

 

The Eberline Services team understands and is committed to support Los
Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) efforts to contribute to the economic
development of Northern New Mexico (NNM). We are committed to assisting and
partnering with LANL, the Northern New Mexico Regional Development Center
(RDC), and local communities in meaningful initiatives that have long-range
economic benefits in NNM.

 

NNM economic development and corporate community stewardship is not
only a requirement under this subcontract, but also an Eberline Services
corporate value that mirrors our employees’ values. The majority of our Team’s
employees that have been proposed to support this subcontract reside in NNM. As
residents, we have a vested interest in the economic health and development of
NNM. For this reason, compliance with LANL’s NNM economic development efforts
is mutually beneficial.

 

2.1                               PURPOSE
OF THE PLAN

 

The Eberline Services Team NNM Economic Development Plan (the Plan)
identifies the resources, partnerships, and planned activities for contributing
to NNM economic development.  The Plan
demonstrates our commitment to support NNM economic development and
diversification, and corporate stewardship. 
This plan will be updated annually during the subcontract.

 

The Plan presents the following information:

 

•                                          Corporate
history, including information on past economic development efforts and our
history of achieving economic development goals

 

•                                          Plan
administration and management, outlining the roles and responsibilities of our
Economic Development Implementation Team

 

•                                          Economic
development commitments, describing the level of corporate commitment and the
total benefit, expressed in dollar-value

 

•                                          Economic
development projects, describing projects that we have selected to support,
including resources and methodology, desired outcomes, and criteria for success
or performance metrics for our commitments.

 

2.2                               CORPORATE
HISTORY

 

Eberline Services and its teaming partners, Los Alamos Technical
Associates, Inc. (LATA), Duke Engineering & Services (DE&S),
and S.M. Stoller Corporation (Stoller), have a proven track record of
supporting NNM initiatives, through our hiring and employment practices,
mentoring and educational programs, volunteer and civic outreach efforts,
charitable contributions, and regional purchases and subcontracting.

 

Eberline Services and LATA are active members of the NNM community and
have:

 

35

 

•                                          Hired
student interns from NNM Community Colleges

 

•                                          Recruited
and hired college graduates from NNM communities

 

•                                          Participated
in the Rio Grande Minority Purchasing Council

 

•                                          Contributed
to the LANL Foundation

 

•                                          Contributed
to NNM charitable organizations and events, including United Way of NNM, NNM
Community College scholarship fund, Mesa Public Library, Habitat for Humanity,
American Legion Los Alamos Chapter, Los Alamos Elks Lodge, Local Chapter of the
American Red Cross, Espanola Valley Basketball League, KRSN AM radio broadcast
station for emergency broadcast capabilities, and various Cerro Grande fire
recovery funds and efforts.

 

Our past and current subcontracts have not included specific economic
development goals or requirements, per se. 
However, our history of achieving small business and economic
development initiatives can be demonstrated by the following examples.

 

•                                          Eberline
Services has directly supported Johnson Controls Northern New Mexico’s
(JCNNM’s) economic development initiatives, working with Mr. Mike Shepherd
and Mr. Wayne Worden. As a subcontractor to JCNNM, we are strongly
committed to ensure that they meet their economic development performance goals
required under their prime contract with LANL and the University of California
(UC). In support of their goals, we have provided staff resources, third party
technical assistance, and corporate support to the Nambe cardboard recycling
efforts, NNM recycling fairs, and other community outreach events. We have supported
Mr. Shepherd with implementing projects that meet the economic development
goals, as well as tracking and reporting on those projects and goals.

 

•                                          Eberline
Services employees are directly involved in numerous charitable, educational,
and environmental volunteer activities in NNM communities. Our employees serve
as tutors for disadvantaged students with reading difficulties, provide
classroom presentations on environmental issues, serve as judges at science
fairs and as sponsors of recycling activities. We also volunteer professional
services for activities such as Household Hazardous Material turn-in days, and
design of environmental solutions to community problems.

 

•                                          We
estimate that over 90% of Eberline Services’ procurements by our Los Alamos-based
office (in White Rock) is to NNM businesses. We have procured from over 15
different companies in Los Alamos, Santa Fe, Espanola, and Pojoaque, and we
estimate our past and current NNM procurements at over $7,000 per month,
exclusive of office rental expenses.

 

•                                          Eberline
Services, under previous ownership as a large business, built a track record of
providing subcontracting opportunities to qualified small, small disadvantaged,
and women-owned small businesses. Under our current subcontract with LANL to
provide 

 

36

 

waste management support services, (Subcontract No. B4537007-8N)
we have subcontracted over $1 million of $11.6 million to small business as in
NNM. Much of this subcontracting was accomplished at a time when our company
was also a small business.

 

•                                          As
a subcontractor at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Hanford site, Eberline
Services has a seven-year history of community support through charitable
contributions, civic outreach, and support to local colleges. In 2000, our
financial contributions to these communities exceeded $12,000.

 

•                                          Our
Team partner, DE&S, has a 100% compliance record meeting Economic
Development goals on their subcontracts at the Hanford site, including
contributions to local organizations and community outreach events.

 

•                                          Our
team partner, LATA, routinely contributes more than $2,000 per year to various
NNM initiatives in the areas of health and human services, education, economic
development, and the environment. LATA has been a corporate sponsor of the LANL
Foundation since its inception, contributing over $30,000 to this important
organization. LATA gives purchasing preference to the NNM small business
community and, together with its Environmental Remediation Project
subcontractors, has established a NNM investment pool (approaching $200,000 in
funds) for placement with a worthy regional business venture.

 

2.3                               PLAN
ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT

 

The Team has appointed a NNM Economic Development Implementation Team and
a Program Administrator, Ms. Camille Bustamante, responsible for the
implementation and management of the Plan. The assignment of designated roles
and responsibilities to the Implementation Team will ensure the success of the
Plan and provide it the visibility and attention that it requires.

 

To date, the Implementation Team has already acted to develop this
Plan; secure necessary corporate support, commitments, and resources; and
identify selected projects that benefit NNM. Upon award of the subcontract, our
Implementation Team will initiate efforts to execute the Plan and monitor
performance and progress. The Team will:

 

•                                          Establish
policies and procedures for implementing project initiatives, allocating
resources, scheduling and prioritizing activities, interfacing with
community/project leaders (points of contact), and tracking and reporting

 

•                                          Establish
a quality assurance program for the Plan and projects to assess progress
relative to the established performance measures and desired outcomes

 

•                                          Interface
with the Project Manager, Mr. Michael Kennicott, and the team partners to
ensure that the required support and resources are made available

 

•                                          Interface
with the RDC, community leaders, and designated points-of-contact for projects
to identify and prioritize resource allocation

 

37

 

•                                          Make
resource assignments as necessary to implement projects

 

•                                          Prepare
and submit required reports to LANL to describe the ongoing initiatives,
progress, commitments and success measures. Reports will follow the format
outlined in Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 26725-RFP-02-CQ, Attachment 5
and will be submitted semi-annually, or under another schedule as
determined by the University Contract

 

Ms. Bustamante has been identified as the Program Administrator for our
Economic Development Plan and will be responsible for administering the
program, implementing the initiatives, and tracking and reporting our progress.
Ms. Bustamante is bilingual and a long-time resident of the NNM community.
She has a proven track record with outreach and economic development projects,
as evidenced by her current role and accomplishments as the Recycling
Coordinator on Eberline Services’ subcontract with JCNNM. She works closely
with the JCNNM Economic Development Program Manager, assisting with
implementing projects and meeting the program’s NNM economic development goals.
Ms. Bustamante has worked with the Nambe Recycling Facility preparing
grant and funding proposals and conducting research to identify new markets and
recycle opportunities: She has successfully planned and implemented recycling
fairs and other community outreach events. 
Ms. Bustamante is experienced in preparing work scopes, managing
subcontractor performance, and tracking and reporting progress relative to
established performance measures.

 

As part of our Plan, Eberline Services will contribute Ms. Bustamante’s
labor to perform her role as Program Administrator. During the first year of
the subcontract, Ms. Bustamante will spend a minimum of 240 hours to
initiate and implement the program. In subsequent years (2 through 5) a minimum
of 96 hours per year will be invested in administrating the program and
ensuring its success.

 

The Implementation Team will include additional resources and
representatives from each Team partner:

 

•                                          Ms. Suzanne

•                                          Contributing technical/professional expertise
(in-kind service) to businesses or community projects that benefit the region’s
economic development. Our Team specializes in providing high-quality
professional services in the areas of Environmental, Safety, and Health
(ES&H) management. In support of economic development projects, we will
contribute in-kind professional services in these specialty areas. These
services will provide necessary expertise to enhance ongoing business
operations, facilitate the start up of new operations and markets, and promote
environmental stewardship and protection in NNM.

 

•                                          Providing
training, education, or workforce development opportunities.

 

41

 

•                                          Providing
volunteer services, civic outreach, and charitable donations.

 

In selecting specific economic development projects for support, we
used the criteria outlined below. These criteria will also be used in selecting
future projects for the economic development initiatives.

 

•                                          Work
with the NNM RDC. Eberline Services has worked with the RDC through our current
subcontract with JCNNM, and we have found it a valuable resource for
identifying projects that benefit the NNM communities. For this Plan, we
referenced the RDC to identify specific projects that have applied for LANL
subcontractor assistance and selected specific projects for support. The
projects identified include the Nambe Recycling Facility’s (NRF’s) Glass
Purlverizer Project and Eco Park Project. As funding allows, additional or
alternate RDC projects will be supported.

 

•                                          Work
with NNM community leaders to identify Other community-based projects. To
demonstrate that our commitment goes beyond our current involvement with the
RDC, we commit to identify, and support other NNM community-based projects that
are not identified bn the RDC, but still benefit NNM. These include special
projects in the Jemez Valley (Sandoval County), the Espanola Valley, or Taos
County. Selected projects are discussed in the following section.

 

As the Plan progresses, a similar approach will be used to identify and
select future projects for support.

 

2.5 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS

 

The specific projects, programs, or initiatives that our Economic
Development Plan commits to support are described below and summarized in Table
2. The total benefit, expressed in dollar terms, is shown for each project in
Table 2. However, the actual number of projects and the level of commitment
will depend on the amount of work issued under the subcontract.

 

2.5.1 Business Relationships in NNM

 

Project IA NNM Small Business Subcontracting
and Procurements

 

Description. The
Eberline Services team is committed to NNM small business utilization for
services and goods to enhance business relationships and contribute to the
economic growth of these businesses. Through this subcontract, we will have an
opportunity to expand our use of NNM small businesses, creating lower-tier
subcontracting opportunities and long-term business alliances. Our commitment
is further described in our Small Business Subcontracting Plan in the Appendix.

 

Methodology for Implementing Our Commitment.
A minimum of 10% of the work awarded under this subcontract will be performed
by NNM small businesses through lower-tier subcontracts and business alliances.
This represents 50% of the total small business subcontracting that we commit
to under our Small  Business  Subcontracting Plan. The Economic
Development Implementation Team will maintain appropriate records, receipts,
and other documents to demonstrate and report progress toward this commitment.

 

42

 

Intended Benefit/Impact.
Enhance business relationships and contribute to the economic growth of NNM
small businesses.

 

Total Commitment.
$400K per year; $2M total value over the 5-year life of the subcontract.
(Assuming $4M per year in awarded tasks under the subcontract.)

 

Project IB: Regional Purchasing/NNM
Procurement

 

Description. Similar
to our small business commitments, the Eberline Services team is committed to
purchasing from NNM suppliers whenever technical and economically feasible. We
have an active regional purchasing program currently in place, and under this
subcontract, all team members will have the opportunity to expand our purchases
of materials, equipment, and services from regional suppliers. Under this Plan,
the Team commits to increasing our regional procurements, implementing a
program to give preference to purchasing materials, supplies, and services from
members of the NNM Supplier’s Alliance (NNMSA) whenever possible. If there is a
need that cannot be met through the NNMSA, we will work with the LANL Small
Business Office to locate other possible suppliers.

 

Methodology for Implementing Our Commitment.
An estimated $150K per year will be spent with NNM suppliers for purchases of
goods and services. This will include rental or lease expenses; purchases of
materials and supplies, equipment, and computers; travel and lodging expenses
tendered to NNM merchants; janitorial and maintenance services; and other
services. Our Implementation Team will develop a system for tracking,
reporting, and documenting qualified regional purchases maintain appropriate
records and receipts.

 

Intended Benefit/Impact.
Enhance business relationships and contribute to the economic growth of NNM
small businesses.

 

Total Commitment.
$150K per year, based on current and expected expenditures; $750K over the 5-year
life of the subcontract.

 

2.5.2 In-Kind Support fo NNM Communities,
Projects, or Businesses

 

Project 2A: Support to Nambe Recycling
Facility Glass Pulverizer and Eco Park

 

Description. The NRF
is located on and owned by the Nambe Pueblo. Eberline Services has an
established relationship with the NRF through our subcontract with 1CNNM,
providing them with professional support to identify recyding markets for their
cardboard and baleing operations. Under this plan, we commit to increasing our
partnership with the NRF to assist with the purchase, installation, and
operation of a glass pulverizer, and with the Eco Park expansion.

 

The addition of glass pulverizer equipment to the NRF would
significantly expand their operation’s capabilities and recycling
opportunities. The equipment would process tons of waste glass creating a
marketable product that would be used in landscaping and road projects. The
glass crushing operations will have a strong, positive impact on glass
recycling programs in Santa Fe, Los Alamos, and Rio Arriba Counties, and it
will result in 2-A new jobs in NNM.

 

43

 

Nambe Pueblo and the NRF currently plan to expand the recycling
facility into an Eco Park, which will provide operating space for NNM companies
that produce marketable projects from recycled materials.  In addition, the Eco Park will further expand
the recycling opportunities for the area, reducing the reliance on sanitary
landfill, and creating new manufacturing businesses.

 

For both of these projects, the NRF has specifically requested
financial resources (or assistance) for the purchase of equipment, as well as
technical assistance with operational, waste management, and ESH issues;
technical assistance developing markets for the recycled or remanufactured
materials; and assistance with funding/grant proposal requests.

 

Methodology for Implementing Our Commitment

 

•                                          Professional,
technical services (in kind services) will be contributed to the NRF in the
areas of ES&H technical support, as necessary to meet the needs of the
facility. During the first year of the subcontract, the Eberline Services team
will contribute professional service hours equal to 0.5% of the Direct Labor
hours charged to the subcontract, as described in Tables 1 and 2. An estimated
360 hours for the first year will be contributed. Professional services
provided are expected to include assistance with environmental and safety
compliance and waste management; recycling operation plans, including material collection
and handling and identifying new recycling opportunities; identifying markets
for the recycled-glass end products; and preparing cost estimates,
return-on-investment calculations and grant or funding proposal requests. All
technical services will be coordinated through the NRF project leader so as to
meet the facility needs.

 

Intended Benefit/Impact.  Expand the operations and business
opportunities of a NNM business entity; promote environmental stewardship and
resource conservation through recycling.

 

Total Commitment.
Estimated at $18K per year (estimated value assumes $4M per year in tasks
awarded) for the first year. Similar commitments are expected for Years 2
through 5 on this project or similar projects.

 

Project 2B: 
Support to other RDC Projects

 

Description:  Through the RDC, we have selected a second
(or alternative) project that will be supported (in addition to Project 2A), as
funding allows.  The Ganados del
Valle/Otra Vuelta Project is based in the Espanola Valley and it works to conserve
resources and clean the environment by using discarded tires to weave into
floor mats, vehicle mats, and plant pots. 
The project has requested technical assistance to support training,
marketing assistance, and financial assistance for equipment purchases that
directly support the project’s infrastructure or operations.

 

Methodology for Implementing Out Commitment

 

As implementation of the Economic Development Plan progresses and as
funding allows, we will begin to work with these additional RDC projects. The
allocation of resources among the projects and priority of projects will be
determined by the Economic Development Implementation Team. Our commitments
will include professional, technical services (in kind 

 

44

 

services) focused on environmental and safety compliance, waste
management, and marketing assistance, as necessary to meet the needs of the
facility.

 

Intended Benefit/Impact.
Expand the operations and business opportunities of a NNM business entity;
promote environmental stewardship and resource conservation through recycling.

 

Total Commitment.
The level of resources committed to these additional RDC projects will be a
portion of total financial resources and technical service hours committed to
all projects, as described in Table 1 and 2, as determined by the
Implementation Team.

 

2.5.3 Workforce Development, Education, and
Job Creation

 

Project 3A: Support to Sandoval County Jemez
Valley communities, including the city of Jemez Springs and Jemez Pueblo

 

Description.  Under this Plan, the Eberline Services team
commits to providing technical assistance and training resources that will
benefit special projects in the Jemez Valley, Jemez Springs, and Jemez Pueblo.  These NNM communities are located in northern
Sandoval County, home to many LANL employees and subcontractors.  The communities have ongoing special projects
and needs related to emergency services and infrastructure and improvement that
could benefit from corporate citizenship and economic investment.

 

The emergency services in the area, including emergency medical and
fire department, are entirely dependent on volunteers, and they have limited
equipment and financial resources.  Also,
the communities are involved in major projects to improve the area’s
infrastructure, including a highway by-pass for the Jemez Pueblo; upgrades to
the area’s wastewater and sold waste management facilities; and improvements to
area roads and recreational facilities that support the area’s tourism business.
There is concern that the infrastructure of these communities will be further
stressed with the opening of the Valle Caldera National Preserve as it brings
more traffic to and through the area.

 

Methodology for Implementing Our Commitment.

 

•                                          Specialized
Training will be contributed to the area’s emergency service teams by
sponsoring the required annual training for volunteer members of the teams.
Emergency service volunteers will be invited to participate (at no cost to
them) in certified training classes that are offered by Eberline Services, or
we will pay registration fees for them to attend classes provided by other
certified providers. A minimum of two (2) training classes will be
provided each year of the subcontract.

 

•                                          Professional,
technical services (in-kind services) will be contributed to support the area’s
ongoing infrastructure improvement projects, including the wastewater, solid
waste management, and highway by-pass projects. Professional services
contributed are expected to focus on environmental and waste management
engineering and environmental compliance, as appropriate to support the ongoing
infrastructure projects. Assistance may also be provided to short-term
projects, including preparing-plans, grants or proposals; or newsletters; or
help with planning and implementing a conference on the Jemez, which has been
proposed by local community groups to bring together 

 

45

 

stakeholders to discuss the area’s Economic Development. The Eberline
Services team will contribute a minimum of 100 hours of professional services
to this project per year, at an estimated value of $5K.

 

Initial contact has been made with Jemez Valley representatives (the
Mayor of Jemez Springs, the Jemez Pueblo Governor’s office and the Jemez Valley
Residents Association) to identify specific projects or needs for the area.
Upon subcontract award, our Implementation Team will establish routine
communication with these representatives and work with them to identify a schedule and
priority for support activities, as needed to meet the community or project
needs.

 

Intended Benefit/Impact.
Local workforce development and education/training; improvements in NNM
infrastructure.

 

Total Commitment.
$7K per year ($5K in professional services, $2K in training sponsorship).

OF WORK

 

The Subcontractor shall plan and supervise the execution of work to
accomplish the following safety and health support tasks for the Environmental
Restoration Contractor (ERC) related to environmental restoration of Hanford
Sites as may be assigned to Bechtel Hanford, Inc.

 

a.                                       Assist
in the preparation of safety and health and related plans and procedures as
directed by Bechtel.

 

b.                                      Provide
qualified health physics and industrial hygiene technicians.

 

c.                                       As
required by Bechtel, provide a safety and health technician cross-training
program to ensure individual qualification in all safety and health disciplines
(i.e., health physics, industrial hygiene, and construction safety).  DOE Order 5480.11 contains specific
requirements for the health physicist technicians (HPT, also referred to as
radiation protection technicians) training program.  The applicable portion of the Order is
included in Section J, Attachment 3. 
Also included in this Attachment is the HPT Training Program and Health
Physics Administrative Guide prepared by WHC and currently in use.  The Subcontractor is responsible for
implementation of a comparable training program to comply with the requirements
of the Order.

 

d.                                      Provide
qualified safety and health professionals to participate in BHI Hanford Area
Teams.  Subcontractor’s management staff
shall participate in planning efforts, and ensure allocation of safety and
health resources required for planned team activities.

 

e.                                       Provide
pre-mobilization radiological, hazardous chemical and safety surveys of ERC
field sites, and establish base conditions for inclusion on the appropriate
work permits.  This shall include survey
documentation in accordance with applicable plans and procedures, as well as
preparation and/or coordination of the issuance of applicable work permits.

 

f.                                         Provide
health physics, industrial hygiene and safety monitoring and surveillance of
ERC field activities as required by Bechtel. 
This shall include but not necessarily be limited to monitoring and
sampling activities necessary to document personnel exposures, surveillance of
the conduct of operations (e.g., proper use of personal and environmental
protective equipment and procedures) so as to ensure that personnel and
environmental exposures are maintained as low as reasonably achievable, and
documentation of these activities in a legally defensible manner.

 

g.                                      Provide
radiological, hazardous chemical and safety surveys of designated surplus facilities
and areas prior to entry by BHI Team personnel, and establish base conditions
for inclusion on the appropriate work permits. 
This shall include survey documentation

in accordance with applicable plans and procedures, as well as
preparation and/or coordination of the issuance of applicable work permits.

 

h.                                      As
necessary, provide health physics, industrial hygiene and safety monitoring and
surveillance of personnel entries into designated surplus facilities and
areas.  This shall include but not
necessarily be limited to monitoring and sampling activities necessary to
document personnel exposures, surveillance of the conduct of operations (e.g.,
proper use of personal and environmental protective equipment and procedures)
so as to ensure that personnel and environmental exposures are maintained as
low as reasonably achievable, and documentation of these activities in a
legally defensible manner.

 

i.                                          Provide
safety and health and related training as may be required by Bechtel.  This may include, and not necessarily be
limited to, developing training plans and procedures, developing
session-specific instructor’s guides, development of proficiency testing
methods and applications, conducting the training, maintenance of training
records, and coordination of training services provided by others.

 

j.                                          Maintain
and calibrate all government furnished field radiological and hazardous
chemical monitoring and/or measurement equipment required to support ERMC field
activities.  Coordinate issuance and
control of such government furnished field radiological and hazardous chemical
monitoring and/or measurement equipment as may be used by Subcontractor but
managed by others.

 

k.                                       Submit
monthly written reports to Bechtel recording all significant safety and health
activities, including problems encountered and actions taken.  The basis for this report shall be daily
records of activities maintained for each ERMC field activity.  At Bechtel’s discretion, these records may
take the form of legally defensible log book entries, or such records as
required by applicable plans and procedures. 
Such records shall be provided for government retention at the direction
of Bechtel.

 

l.                                          At
Bechtel’s discretion, coordinate required personnel monitoring with the
appropriate Hanford Site service organization. 
Personnel monitoring may include, but not necessarily be limited to,
medical examinations, bioassays, whole body counting, and radiation dosimetry.

 

m.                                    At
Bechtel’s discretion, design, construct, qualify and operate mobile and/or
close support laboratories for the purpose of sample screening and
analysis.  Sample screening may be
accomplished for the purposes of laboratory and transportation hazard
classification.  Sample analyses may be
required to provide qualitative and quantitative assessments of contaminant
presence and concentration, and to evaluate safety and health samples (e.g.,
smears, air samples, etc.).

 

n.                                      Provide
a Quality Assurance Manual for all ERMC related Subcontractor operations and
implement approved quality assurance requirements, including procedure audits
of field operations in support of the ERMC.

o.                                      Subcontractor
shall maintain staff necessary for the proper execution of project planning,
detail of field work and quality control of Subcontractor operations.  Subcontractor staffing shall only occur with
Bechtel’s prior written approval.

a.                                       Performance
of the work under this subcontract shall be subject to the technical direction
of the Subcontract Technical Representative (STR).  The STR will be designated in writing by the

limitation:

 

1.                                       Directions
which redirect the subcontract effort, shift work emphasis between work areas
or tasks, require pursuit of certain lines of inquiry, fill in details or
otherwise serve to accomplish the contractual Statement of Work.

 

2.                                       Provision
of written information which assists in the interpretation of drawings,
specifications or technical portions of the work description.

b.                                      Technical
direction must be within the Statement of Work stated in the subcontract.  The STR does not have the authority to issue
any technical direction which:

 

25

 

1.                                       Constitutes
an assignment of additional work outside the Statement of Work;

a change as defined in the subcontract clause entitled “Changes”;

 

3.                                       In
any manner causes an increase or decrease in the total estimated subcontract
cost, base fee and award fee, or the time required for subcontract performance;

 

4.                                       Changes
any of the express terms, conditions or specifications of the subcontract; or

 

5.                                       Interferes
with the Subcontractor’s right to perform in accordance with the subcontract.

 

c.                                       All
technical directions shall be issued in writing.

 

d.                                      The
Subcontractor shall proceed promptly with the performance of technical
directions duly issued by the STR in the manner prescribed by this Article and
within his authority under the provision of this Article.

 

If, in the
opinion of the Subcontractor, any instruction or direction falls within one of
the categories defined in paragraphs b.1. through b.5. above, the Subcontractor
shall not proceed but shall notify the Subcontracting Officer in writing within
fifteen (15) working days after receipt of any such instruction or direction
and shall request a modification to the subcontract accordingly.  Upon receiving the notification from the
Subcontractor, the Subcontracting Officer shall:

 

1.                                       Advise
the Subcontractor in writing within forty-five (45) calendar days after receipt
of the Subcontractor’s letter that the technical direction is within the scope
of the subcontract effort and does not constitute a change under the “Changes”
clause of the subcontract;

 

2.                                       Inform
the Subcontractor in writing within forty-five (45) calendar days after receipt

direction; or

 

3.                                       Advise
the Subcontractor within a reasonable time that a written change order will be

failure of the Subcontractor and the Subcontracting Officer to agree that the

agree upon the subcontract action to be taken with respect hereto shall be
subject to the provisions of Clause H-25, entitled “Disputes” of this

SPECIAL SUBCONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

 

H-1                             USE
OF EXISTING WHC SUBCONTRACTORS

 

The Operations and Engineering (O&E) contractor has obtained
contract assistance in performing certain activities which will be assigned to
Bechtel.  This assistance is provided
under contracts, MLW-SVV-037106 (Ebasco), MLW-SVV-073750 (SAIC), and MLW-SVV-073751
(IT).  To the extent the Management and
Operating Contractor indicates the services of the contractor in this activity
are available, Subcontractor, through Bechtel, may work order the services of
those contractors from the Management and Operating Contractor.  The engineering services provided by these
contractors are non-mandatory.  (See
paragraph H-9).

 

H-2                             BECHTEL/GOVERNMENT-FURNISHED
PROPERTY/SERVICES

 

a.                                       Site
services as indicated in the Hanford Site Services Handbook found on the
Hanford Local Area Network, are available for use by the Subcontractor through
the Contractor.  Those services that the
Contractor and Subcontractor agree to utilize under this subcontract, or those
services that the DOE directs the use of shall be considered Government
furnished.  Government-furnished
equipment will be identified.  These
Government-furnished property/services shall be utilized, costed, and
reimbursed under the terms of this subcontract, as directed by Bechtel.

 

b.                                      Bechtel
shall deliver to the Subcontractor, at the time and locations stated in this
Subcontract, Bechtel-furnished property or services described in the specific
task order or work assignment.  If that
property or services, suitable for its intended use, is not delivered to the
Subcontractor, Bechtel shall equitably adjust affected clauses of this
Subcontract in accordance with the Changes Article when;

 

(1)                                  The
Subcontractor submits a timely written request for an equitable adjustment; and
an equitable adjustment.

 

c.                                       Title
to Contractor-furnished property shall remain in the Government.  The Subcontractor shall use Bechtel-furnished
property only in connection with this Subcontract.   The Subcontractor shall assist Bechtel in
implementation of the Project Property Management Plan and shall furnish any
necessary documentation required by the plan.

 

d.                                      Upon
delivery of Bechtel-furnished property to the Subcontractor, the Subcontractor
assumes the risk and responsibility for its loss or damage, except

 

(1)                                  For
reasonable wear and tear;

 

32

 

(2)                                  To
the extent property is consumed in performing this Subcontract; or

 

(3)                                  As
otherwise provided for by the clauses of this Subcontract.

 

e.                                       Upon
completing this Subcontract, the Subcontractor shall follow the instructions of
Bechtel regarding the disposition of all Bechtel-furnished property not
consumed in performing this Subcontract or previously delivered to
Bechtel.  The Subcontractor shall prepare
for shipment, deliver f.o.b. origin, or dispose of Bechtel-furnished property,
as may be directed or authorized by Bechtel. 
The net proceeds of any such disposal shall be credited to the
Subcontract price or shall be paid to Bechtel as directed by Bechtel.

 

H-3                             PUBLIC
RELEASE OF INFORMATION

 

It is policy of DOE that Contractors share in the responsibility for
timely and appropriate public reporting of unclassified DOE-related activities
in order to enhance the public understanding of environmental restoration
activities.

 

Subcontractor is expected to submit through Bechtel to the DOE
Contracting Officer for advance review and approval all such oral, written and
audio-visual information material proposed for public issuance.

 

H-4                             DEPARTMENT

directed by DOE or as otherwise specified in the subcontract or in its data
rights clause or as agreed upon by DOE, Bechtel and the Subcontractor, all data
or information generated under this subcontract paid for by the Government
shall be the property of the Government, and shall be delivered to the
Government or otherwise disposed of by the Subcontractor either as Bechtel may
from time-to-time be directed by DOE during the progress of the work, or in any
event as Bechtel shall be directed by DOE upon completion or termination of
this subcontract and final audit of all accounts hereunder.  The Government shall have the right to use
all or any part of said data or information which is the property of the
Government for any purpose whatsoever consistent with the requirements of the

subcontract, the Subcontractor may request the right to make copies of

method to assure continued access by the Subcontractor to such records.  Bechtel approval to copy such records is
subject to Government consent and shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

33

 

c.                                       Prohibition
Against Dissemination of Certain Unclassified Information or Technical Data.  Notwithstanding any other authority or
provision in this subcontract regarding protection or withholding of
information, the Subcontractor shall comply with Section 148 of the Atomic
Energy Act of 1954, 42 U.S.C. 2167 “Prohibition Against Dissemination of
Certain Unclassified Information” in accordance with such regulations or orders

to the public by the Subcontractor or its lower-tier subcontractors unless the
written approval of the Contracting Officer is obtained.

copies of any such records pertaining to employees that continue in the employ
of a successor Subcontractor at the Hanford Site shall be, unless otherwise
prohibited by law, delivered to the successor Subcontractor or to DOE. Any
other of such records shall be preserved by the Subcontractor for a period of
three years after settlement of the subcontract or otherwise disposed of in
such manner as may be agreed upon by the Government and the Subcontractor.

 

e.                                       DOE

and shall be reasonably consistent with employee privacy interests and claims
of privilege.

to implement this requirement.

the event of failure to comply with paragraphs c., d., e., f., and g. above, or

its lower-tier subcontractors hereunder, Bechtel may withhold any payments due
to the Subcontractor and may terminate the subcontract for default.

 

2.                                       The
rights and remedies of Bechtel and the Government provided in this paragraph H-6
shall not be exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and remedies of
Bechtel and the Government provided by law or under this subcontract.

 

i.                                          The
requirements of this paragraph H-6 are in addition to, and shall not relieve

subcontract, including those entitled “Davis-Bacon Act,” “Contract Work Hours
and Safety Standards Act - Overtime Compensation,” “Payrolls and Basic Records,”

j.                                          The
Subcontractor agrees to maintain its bid or proposal records showing rates and
amounts used for computing wages and other compensation, and its payroll and
personnel records during the course of work subject to this paragraph H-6, and
to preserve such records for a period of three years thereafter, for all
employees performing such work.  Such
records will contain the name and address of each such employee, his correct
classification, rate of pay, daily and weekly number of hours worked, and dates
and hours of the day within which work was performed, deductions made, and
amounts for wages and other compensation covered by paragraphs c., d., e., f.,
and g. hereof.  The Subcontractor agrees
to make these records available for inspection by Bechtel and will permit it to
interview employees during working hours on the job.

 

k.                                       The
Subcontractor agrees to insert the provisions of this paragraph H-6, including
this paragraph k., in all lower-tier subcontracts for the performance of work
subject to the Davis-Bacon Act.

 

H-7                             PAYMENT
AND PERFORMANCE BONDS

 

The Subcontractor will not be required to furnish payment and
performance bonds.

AGREEMENTS

 

The following advance agreements apply to this subcontract:

 

The Advance Agreement of Personnel Policies and Procedures, found in Section J
as Attachment 7, is incorporated into and made a part of this subcontract.

 

The Advance Agreement of Personnel Policies and Procedures
(Supplement), found in Section J as Attachment 7a, is incorporated into
and made a part of this subcontract. 
This document is subject to D.O.E. approval and Subcontractor agrees
that the requirements contained therein that are approved by D.O.E. shall apply
to this subcontract.

 

H-9                             REQUISITION
OF SITE SERVICES

 

Hanford site services are available for use by the Subcontractor from
the assigned provider.  The Subcontractor
shall be treated just like any other on-site contractor when it comes to
obtaining site service.  After
transition, a 90-day written notice must be provided prior to terminating site
services.  Requests for site services are
subject to the providing contractor’s determination of availability.  The Subcontractor shall assist Bechtel in the
accounting/billing process for payment of Hanford site services.

 

H-10                       DETERMINATION
OF APPROPRIATE LABOR STANDARDS

 

Bechtel, in coordination with DOE, shall determine the appropriate
Labor Standards which shall apply to all work performed under the
subcontract.  With Bechtel approval, the
Subcontractor shall provide such information in the form and timeframe required
by Bechtel, as may be necessary for Bechtel to make such labor standards
determinations.  The Subcontractor will
then be responsible for ensuring that the appropriate labor standards
provisions are included in lower-tier subcontracts.

 

H-11                       HEALTH
PHYSICIST TECHNICIANS HPTSI AND CRAFT SERVICE PERSONNEL

 

The Subcontractor will not be allowed to furnish its own HPTs.  Bechtel will provide, through a separate
subcontract, HPTs that meet the site training and certification
requirements.  DOE Order 5480.11 contains
specific requirements for the HPT (also referred to as radiation protection
technicians) training program.  The
applicable portion of the Order is included in Section J, Attachment
3.  Also included in this Attachment is
the HPT Training Program and Health Physics Administrative Guide prepared by
WHC and currently in use.  The WHC
documents have been included for informational purposes.  Bechtel is responsible for implementation of
a comparable training program to comply with the requirements in the Order.

 

In addition, the Subcontractor will be allowed to employ those craft
and service personnel required for surveillance and maintenance of Hanford
Surplus Facilities funded from the ER Program budget and managed by the
Subcontractor.

 

38

 

H-12                       ORGANIZATIONAL
CONFLICT OF INTEREST - SUBCONTRACTORS.

 

The Subcontractor will not be permitted to subcontract or transfer any
portion of the work to its subsidiaries affiliates or otherwise related
companies through common ownership or control, without Bechtel’s approval.

 

The Subcontractor and its lower-tier subcontractors shall exert best
efforts to acquire for the Government on the best terms available but shall be
allowed (but shall not be obligated) to furnish items of such materials,
supplies, equipment, and facilities of its own manufacture (or of the
manufacture of its subsidiary corporations), provided it obtains Bechtel’s
concurrence in advance.

 

The Subcontractor, including its subsidiaries, affiliates or otherwise
related companies, shall not propose upon DOE contracts or subcontracts for
facilities or activities related to environmental restoration on the Hanford
Site where the Subcontractor has been involved in development of plans or
requirements for such facilities or activities or would be involved in
management or oversight of such facilities or activities or would be involved
in management or oversight of such facilities or activities under this
subcontract, unless otherwise approved by Bechtel.

 

H-13                       ADVANCE
UNDERSTANDING ON PERSONNEL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

 

The DOE intends to reach advance understandings with the successful
offeror on certain personnel costs and related expenses.  These costs are those associated with
personnel policies and procedures which the offeror intends to apply to work
under the subcontract.  Advance review by
DOE and written approval by Bechtel of such personnel policies and procedures
will be required.  Any exceptions noted
in Bechtel’s written approval will govern the Subcontractor’s application of
the personnel policies and procedures under the subcontract.  In addition, DOE approval will be required in
each instance where the Subcontractor proposes to pay an employee $80,000 or
more, in total annual compensation exclusive of bonus or incentive compensation
pay which will not be an allowable cost under the subcontract.

 

H-14                       PREEXISTING
CONDITIONS

 

To the extent that Bechtel is indemnified by DOE, Bechtel shall
indemnify, protect, and hold the Subcontractor harmless from and against any
and all civil liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims
(including, without limitation claims involving strict or absolute liability),
actions, suits, costs, expenses, and disbursements (including, without
limitation, legal fees and expenses) of any kind and nature whatsoever which
may be incurred by, imposed on, or asserted against Subcontractor in any way
relating to or arising out of any act or failure to act on the part of any
person, and relating to any part of the facility at the sites managed under
this subcontract or any areas adjacent thereto which act or failure to act
occurred before the Subcontractor assumed responsibility for work performed
under this subcontract on July 1, 1994. 
New conditions created or caused in whole or in part by the
Subcontractor and coming into being after June 30, 1994, are not
considered “Pre-existing conditions”.  To
the extent the acts or omissions of the Subcontractor acting after July 1,
1994, cause any fine or add to the amount of any fine or penalty that resulted
from pre-existing condition(s) (i.e., one in existence prior to

 

39

 

July 1, 1994), the Subcontractor will be responsible in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this subcontract.  The provisions of this clause are subject to
the availability of funds appropriated by Congress.  Bechtel and the Government shall use its best
efforts to obtain such funds should such funds not be otherwise available.

 

H-15                       SPECIAL
PROVISION ON FINANCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY

 

a.                                       This
provision governs the Subcontractor’s financial accountability for fines and
penalties, losses (e.g., third party claims), government property and certain
legal defense costs and unallowable environmental costs (Section I, clause
entitled “Allowable Cost and Payment”). 
This provision defines categories of unallowable cost, avoidable costs
and sets a ceiling on certain liabilities. 
The term “lower-tier subcontractor” as used in this clause refers to
Subcontractor’s subcontractor(s) and/or supplier(s) at any tier or level.

 

b.                                      This
provision shall not apply to (1) Small Business or Small Disadvantaged
Business concerns, and (2) any nonprofit contractor or subcontractor which
receives no fee and is considered nonprofit under the laws of the jurisdiction
in which it is incorporated.  A
subsidiary may be considered a nonprofit contractor or subcontractor under this
provision if all entities above it in the corporate structure are considered
nonprofit under the laws of the incorporating jurisdiction.  A Contracting Officer may also treat as
nonprofit a contractor whose particular corporate organization or circumstances
warrants such considerations.  If such
costs are otherwise allowable under this subcontract, then the costs resulting
from the actions or inactions of the above contractors or subcontractors which
would otherwise be determined to be Avoidable Costs are allowable costs to the
Subcontractor.

 

c.                                       Except
as specifically provided below, the costs incurred in legal and other
proceedings, including finds and penalties (and associated interest) resulting
from such proceedings, are governed by FAR 31.205-47 and FAR 31.205-15,
respectively.

 

d.                                      Items
of unallowable costs.  The following
items of costs are unallowable under this subcontract to the extent provided
below.

 

1.                                       Losses
(including litigation expenses, Counsel fees, and settlements) on, or arising
from the sale, exchange,, or abandonment of capital assets, including
investments; losses on other contracts, including the Subcontractor’s
contributed portion under cost-sharing contracts; losses in connection with
price reductions to and discount purchases by employees and other from any
source; and losses where such losses or expenses:

 

i.                                          Are
compensated for by insurance or otherwise or which would have been compensated
by insurance required by law or by written direction of Bechtel or the
Government but which the 

40

 

Subcontractor failed to procure or maintain
through its own fault or negligence;

 

ii.                                       Result
from willful misconduct or lack of good faith on the part of any of the
Subcontractor’s directors, corporate officers, or a supervising representative
of the Subcontractor;

 

iii.                                    Represent
liabilities to third persons for which the Subcontractor has expressly accepted
responsibility under other terms of this subcontract; or

 

iv.                                   Are
direct costs which are avoidable that are incurred by the Subcontractor and/or
a lower-tier subcontractor, without any fault of DOE, exclusively as a result
of the negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any of the Subcontractor’s
and/or lower-tier Subcontractor’s personnel in performing work under the
subcontract.

 

A.                                   Such
direct costs may include, for example, additional programmatic expenses for
research and development or production activities, and third party claims
against the Subcontractor, but shall not include scrap, waste and other routine
damages or losses which occur as part of the cost of doing business and are
reasonably anticipated and shall not include consequential damages.

 

B.                                     Costs
of litigation incurred by the Subcontractor or a lower-tier subcontractor in
bringing or defending claims relating to these costs are also unallowable.

 

2.                                       Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this subcontract, the costs of bonds and insurance are
unallowable to the extent they are incurred to protect and indemnify the
Subcontractor and/or lower-tier subcontractor against otherwise unallowable
Avoidable Costs, fines and penalties, third party claims, negligently or
willfully caused damage to, destruction of or loss of Government property,
theft or unauthorized use of Government property, and unallowable environmental
costs except and only to the extent that such insurance or bond is required by
the specific written direction of Bechtel.

 

e.                                       Additional
responsibility for risk of loss of Government property.  Notwithstanding the limitation of liability
described in DEAR 952.245-5, the Subcontractor and/or lower-tier subcontractor
shall be liable for direct costs and expenses resulting from damage to,
destruction of, or loss of Government property as a direct result of
Subcontractor or lower-tier subcontractor negligence or willful misconduct
where the costs which are to be borne by the Subcontractor and/or lower-tier
subcontractor are those incurred in effecting the repairs to, or

 

41

 

replacement
of, Government property.  These Avoidable
Costs do not include scrap, waste and other routine damages or losses which
occur as part of the cost of doing business and are reasonably
anticipated.  Costs which shall not be
reimbursable are the result of circumstances: (1) clearly within the
Subcontractor’s and/or lower-tier subcontractor’s sole and exclusive control
and (2) resulting from acts of omissions of the Subcontractor and/or
lower-tier subcontractor, concerning which the exercise of reasonable care
would have avoided the loss or destruction or damage.  In the event that such direct costs and
expenses resulting from loss or destruction of or damage to Government property
are also in part caused by third parties, other than Bechtel or DOE, such costs
and expenses will not be reimbursed by Bechtel.

 

The allocation of financial responsibility between the Subcontractor
and such third party should be determined by the parties involved.

 

In addition, the Subcontractor shall be liable for direct damage to,
destruction of, or loss, Government property stemming from theft, embezzlement,
unauthorized use, or any other ultra vires activity by any Subcontractor or
lower-tier subcontractor personnel at any level.  Under these circumstances the Subcontractor
shall be required to bear the cost of repairing or replacing the damaged, destroyed,
or lost Government property.

 

For purposes of this clause, negligence is the failure to exercise that
standard of care which a reasonable and prudent person would exercise under the
same or similar circumstances in an identical or similar environment.

 

f.                                         Costs
related to legal defense and settlement of claims.

 

1.                                       Litigation
and Claims.  The Subcontractor may, with
the prior written authorization of Bechtel (as directed by the Government), and
shall upon the request of Bechtel initiate litigation against third parties,
including proceedings before administrative agencies, in connection with this
subcontract.  The Subcontractor shall
proceed with such litigation in good faith and as directed from time to time by
Bechtel.

 

2.                                       The
Subcontractor shall give Bechtel immediate notice in writing of any action,
including any proceeding before an administrative agency, filed against the
Subcontractor arising out of the performance of this subcontract, and of any
claim against the Subcontractor the cost and expense of which the Subcontractor
would propose to submit as a claim for allowable costs under the terms of the
clause entitled “Allowable Cost and Payment.”

 

3.                                       Except
to the extent prohibited by the Major Fraud Act of 1988, 41 U.S.C. 256 and
applicable regulations, when directed by the Government, Bechtel may instruct
the Subcontractor to proceed in good faith with the defense of the claim
subject to the direction of Bechtel. 
Except as otherwise directed by Bechtel in writing, the Subcontractor
shall furnish immediately to

 

42

 

Bechtel copies of all pertinent papers
received by the Subcontractor with respect to such action or claim.  The Subcontractor may, with Bechtel’s
expressed written approval, settle any such action or claim.  The Subcontractor shall effect, at Bechtel’s
request, an assignment and subrogation in favor of Bechtel and/or the
Government of all of the Subcontractor’s rights and claims (except those
against Bechtel and the Government) arising out of or related to such action or
claim against the Subcontractor, and, if required by Bechtel, shall authorize
representatives of Bechtel and/or the Government to settle or defend any such
action or claim and to represent the Subcontractor in, or to take charge of,
any action.  If the Settlement or defense
of an action or claim against the Subcontractor is undertaken by Bechtel and/or
the Government, the Subcontractor shall furnish all reasonable assistance in
effecting a settlement or asserting a defense. 
If an adverse judgment is entered against the Subcontractor in a case
where Bechtel and the Government have approved and/or directed the defense as
provided in this paragraph, the costs of litigation and liability for any
resulting claim or damages shall be allowable; provided, however, that such
expenses shall not be allowable to the extent that they would have been
compensated for by insurance which was required by law or by the written
direction of Bechtel or the Government, but which the Subcontractor failed to
secure or maintain through its own fault or negligence.

 

4.                                       Should
Bechtel not approve or direct the defense of the litigation as provided in
paragraph (3), Bechtel has no liability for the costs of litigation except as
provided in subparagraphs (5) and (6) below.  The Subcontractor may request that Bechtel
ask the Government to assume direction of the litigation at any point when new
facts on the matter would so warrant; provided, however, that the Government
may assume direction of the litigation or direct settlement without a request
from the Subcontractor, at any time during the litigation process when the
Government determines that it is in the best interest to do so, in which case
the liability for any resulting claims or damages shall be at the expense of
the Government.

 

5.                                       The
Subcontractor must inform Bechtel of any proposed settlement agreement.  The notification shall be supported by all
information available to the Subcontractor which is pertinent to the
settlement.

 

i.                                          Except
to the extent prohibited by the Major Fraud Act of 1988, 41 U.S.C. 256, the
Government has the option of accepting the settlement reached by the
Subcontractor.  If the settlement is
accepted, Bechtel, the Government and the Subcontractor shall negotiate each party’s
share, if any, of the settlement and litigation expenses.  Any agreement reached at this point shall be
subject to the approval of DOE’s Contracting Officer and to the restrictions of
FAR 33.210.

 

43

 

ii.                                       If
the Subcontractor proceeds without, or otherwise does not obtain, Bechtel’s
approval of the settlement agreement, the cost of the agreement and all related
costs of litigation shall be at the Subcontractor’s own risk and expense.

 

6.                                                                                       i.                                          If
the Subcontractor has suffered a final judgment, a claim for reimbursement of
the costs of litigation or any resulting damages or both may be made to
Bechtel.  Except to the extent prohibited
by the Major Fraud Act of 1988, 41 U.S.C. 256, Bechtel may negotiate a settlement
with the Subcontractor which shall be subject to the approval of DOE’s
Contracting Officer.

 

ii.                                       Reimbursement
of costs of litigation and judgments under subparagraph (6)(i) above may
be paid by Bechtel notwithstanding the limitations or prohibitions contained in
paragraph (c) above and subparagraph (d)(1 )(iv) above, the loss of
Government property provision in subparagraph (e) above.

 

7.                                       Certification
of costs.  Bechtel may not accept any
settlement or otherwise authorize reimbursement of costs and/or damages where
the Subcontractor has not certified, in the form required by the clause of this
subcontract entitled “Disputes”, the facts known by the Subcontractor, at any
time the matter is submitted for review, which form the basis upon which the
Subcontractor seeks reimbursement of these costs.

 

8.                                       Costs
of Litigation.  “Costs of Litigation” as
used herein, includes, but are not limited to, administrative and clerical
expenses; the cost of legal services, whether performed by in-house or private
counsel; the costs of the services of accountants, consultants, or others
retained by the Subcontractor to assist it; all elements of compensation,
related costs, and expenses of employees, officers, and directors; and any
similar costs incurred before, during, and after commencement of a judicial or
administrative proceeding which bear direct and substantial relationship to the
proceedings.

 

g.                                      Determining
Avoidable Costs.

 

1.                                       i.                                          Avoidable
Costs are those costs specified in subparagraph (d)(1)(iv) above, the loss
of Government property provision set forth in subparagraph (e) above,
costs under subparagraph (f) above and unallowable environmental costs
specified in the Section I clause entitled “Allowable Cost and Payment”
which are incurred by the Subcontractor and/or its lower-tier subcontractors, in
carrying out the terms and conditions of the subcontract when:

 

A.                                   The
work is clearly within the sole and exclusive control of the Subcontractor
and/or lower-tier subcontractor personnel, and

 

44

 

B.                                     The
increased costs of expenses result from the negligence or willful misconduct of
the Subcontractor and/or lower-tier subcontractor personnel, and

 

C.                                     DOE
is not responsible in any way for the act or omission which resulted in the
additional costs.

 

ii.                                       The
costs and expenses of litigation, settlements, and related litigation costs
(including attorneys fees), fines penalties, judgments and liabilities
resulting from administrative findings, and damage to, or loss of, Government
property when carrying out well understood non-experimental work and damage to,
or loss of, Government property as the result of theft, embezzlement or other
unauthorized use and unallowable environmental costs specified in the Section I
clause entitled “Allowable Cost and Payment” are unallowable to the extent that
the acts or omissions resulting in these costs are Avoidable Costs as defined
in subparagraph (1)(i) above.  Such
costs are unallowable except as specifically authorized by Bechtel and within
the scope of work in the subcontract.

 

2.                                       For
purposes of this section, negligence is the failure to exercise that standard
of care which a reasonable and prudent person would exercise under the same or
similar circumstances in an identical or similar environment.

 

Ceiling on
Certain Liabilities.

 

1.                                       The
Subcontractor’s potential financial obligations under the unallowable
environmental costs provision in the Allowable Cost and Payment clause (see Section I)
and under the unallowable Avoidable Cost provisions contained in subparagraph (g) above
shall be limited to the cumulative amount of the fee or profit actually earned
under the subcontract, whether cost-plus or fixed price, during the month when
contractor (BHI evaluation period when the event or events which were caused by
the Subcontractor led to the incurrence of costs or liabilities or the
imposition of fines and penalties occurred. 
The limitation or ceiling does not apply to any other categories of
unallowable costs, nor shall any other unallowable costs be utilized in the
calculation of that ceiling for any evaluation period.  In the case of continuing activities of the
Subcontractor which occur over a number of Contractor evaluation periods and
results in costs or liabilities described above, the potential financial
obligations of the Subcontractor shall be limited to the amount of the actual
award fee earned and the actual basic fee earned in the single evaluation
period when the incident(s) or event(s) giving rise to the Subcontractor’s
disallowed cost or expense took place. 
If it is not possible to relate to reasonably allocate particular
activities to individual evaluation periods, the financial obligation of the

 

45

 

Subcontractor shall be limited to the amount
of the actual fee earned in the evaluation period when the amount of such
nonreimbursable costs or liabilities were finally determined.  If the determination as to which award fee
period(s) the incident or activity occurred resulting in the unallowable
Avoidable Costs is made following the expiration of the subcontract, or the
Subcontractor is otherwise replaced, the actual fee earned for the last
evaluation period that the subcontract was in effect shall be utilized after
deducting disallowed Avoidable Costs that were previously charged to the
Subcontractor during that period.

 

2.                                       i.                                          The
financial obligations of a lower-tier subcontractor, under the unallowable
Avoidable Cost provisions contained in subparagraph (g) above shall be
limited in the same manner as described in subparagraph (h) 1. above to
the cumulative amount of the fee or profit actually earned by the lower-tier
subcontractor under its subcontract, whether cost-plus or fixed-price, during
the six-month subcontractor evaluation period when the event or events which
were caused by the lower-tier subcontractor led to the incurrence of costs or
liabilities or the imposition of fines and penalties occurred.  This limitation or ceiling does not apply to
any other categories of unallowable costs.

 

ii.                                       The
Subcontractor shall cause all lower-tier subcontractors to be responsible for
all costs and liabilities described in this subparagraph (h), up to the amount
of the actual fee or profit earned in the pertinent Contractor evaluation
period.  The Subcontractor shall cause
all lower-tier subcontractors to agree to provide a reasonable financial
guarantee to assure that the lower-tier subcontractor will have sufficient
resources to satisfy all costs and liabilities up to the amount of the actual
fee or profit earned based upon the highest amount of profit or fee received by
the lower-tier subcontractor during the last two Contractor evaluation
periods.  Alternatively, at the election
of the lower-tier subcontractor, at the end of each annual period the
Subcontractor may retain a percentage of the fee or profit earned as reasonably
determined to be sufficient by the Subcontractor to protect the interests of
Bechtel and the Government.  With respect
to new subcontracts or subcontracts that have been in effect for less than one
year (or two six-month evaluation periods), the guarantee shall be in an amount
that the Subcontractor reasonably determines with the approval of Bechtel to be
in the best interest of the Government, but not to exceed the amount of fee or
profit available for the upcoming evaluation period.  The financial responsibility of the
lower-tier subcontractor and the guarantee of retainage of the lower-tier
subcontractor shall remain in effect for up to one year after the termination
or expiration of the lower-tier subcontract at which time any financial
guarantee, including retainage, shall be returned to the lower-tier
subcontractor.

 

46

 

iii.                                    Where
the amount of fee or profit earned by a lower-tier subcontractor during the
Contractor’s evaluation period is not sufficient to pay in full all Avoidable
Costs incurred during that period, the excess amount of these costs will be
reimbursed or otherwise treated as allowable costs provided, however, that the
Subcontractor shall be responsible for the payment of such Avoidable Costs in
excess of the lower-tier subcontractor’s ceiling if such costs and/or damages
were caused in whole or in part by the negligence of the Subcontractor;
provided, further, that in case the Subcontractor’s obligation to pay Avoidable
Costs incurred by the negligence of the lower-tier subcontractor is limited to
the extent that (i) the lower-tier subcontractor’s profit for that
evaluation period was insufficient to pay the Avoidable Costs in full, and (ii) the
Subcontractor’s ceiling on Avoidable Costs liabilities specified in this subsection in
subparagraph (1) of this section has not been reached for that
evaluation period.  The Subcontractor
shall not require a lower-tier subcontractor to provide financial guarantees
for the payment of Avoidable Costs beyond the profit or fee earned by the
lower-tier subcontractor in the relevant contractor’s six-month evaluation
period.

 

iv.                                   The
Subcontractor shall cause appropriate provisions to implement the lower-tier
subcontractor liability ceiling and financial guarantee obligation contained in
this subparagraph (h(2)) to be inserted into every lower-tier subcontract
entered into with a Contractor or subcontractor provided, however, that such
lower-tier subcontract shall provide that to the extent that Avoidable Costs
incurred by the negligence of the lower-tier subcontractor are reimbursed by
Bechtel to the Subcontractor for all such costs to the extent that such
lower-tier subcontractor has already paid, or incurred without reimbursement,
such costs; provided, further, that all such lower-tier subcontractors shall
provide that the financial guarantee provided by lower-tier subcontractors to
the Subcontractor should remain in effect for not more than one year after
termination or expiration of such subcontract.

 

3.                                       The
Subcontractor shall be responsible for all costs and liabilities described in
subparagraphs (h(1)) and (h(2)) of this section, up to the amount of the actual
fee earned in the pertinent evaluation period. 
The Subcontractor agrees to provide, in such form and amount as shall be
satisfactory to Bechtel, a financial guarantee to assure that the Subcontractor
will have sufficient resources to satisfy all costs and liabilities up to the
amount of the actual fee earned for a period based upon the highest amount of
fee received over the last four evaluation periods.  Alternatively, at the election of the
Subcontractor, at the end of each evaluation period Bechtel may retain a
percentage of the fee as determined to be sufficient by Bechtel to protect the
interests of Bechtel and the

 

47

 

Government. 
With respect to new contracts or contracts that have been in effect for
less than two years (or four six-month evaluation periods), the guarantee shall
be in an amount that Bechtel determines to be in the best interest of Bechtel
and the Government, but not to exceed the amount of fee available for the
upcoming evaluation period.  The
financial responsibility of the Subcontractor and the guarantee or retainage
shall remain in effect for up to one year after the termination of or
expiration of the subcontract at which time any financial guarantee, including
retainage, shall be returned to the Subcontractor.  Any costs or liabilities to third parties
beyond the limitations described above would be reimbursed subject to the other
provisions of the subcontract governing cost reimbursement.  The Subcontractor’s potential financial risk
for proceedings costs under the Major Fraud Act of 1988, 41 U.S.C. 256, or the
civil or criminal penalties provisions of the Price-Anderson Amendments Act of
1988, 42 U.S.C. 2273, 2282, will not be limited except as provided in
regulations implementing those provisions.

 

4.                                             Bechtel
and the Government’s liability under this clause is subject to the availability
to DOE of appropriated funds at a time a contingency occurs.  Nothing in this subcontract shall be
construed as implying that the Congress will, at a later date, appropriate
funds to meet deficiencies.

CONTRACT CLAUSES

 

I-1                                  REPRINTED
CONTRACT CLAUSES FOR COST-REIMBURSEMENT SERVICE CONTRACTS (DOE SET 304) (DEC
1991)

 

The contract clauses contained in DOE Set 304, Cost-Reimbursement
Service contracts, dated Dec 1991 are located in this Section I and except
for those indicated as deleted, are hereby incorporated into and made a part of
this contract.

 

I-2                                  FAR
52.203-10 PRICE OR FEE ADJUSTMENT FOR ILLEGAL OR IMPROPER ACTIVITY
(DEVIATION)(SEP 1990)

 

a.                                       The
Government, at its election, may reduce the price of a fixed-price type
contract or contract modification and the total cost and fee under a cost-type
contract or contract modification by the amount of profit or fee determined as
set forth in paragraph (b) of this clause if the head of the contracting
activity or his or her designee determines that there was a violation of subsection 27(a) of
the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act, as amended (41 U.S.C. 423), as
implemented in the FAR.  In the case of a
contract modification, the fee subject to reduction is the fee specified in the
particular contract modification at the time of execution, except as provided
in subparagraph (b)(5) of this clause.

 

b.                                      The
price or fee reduction referred to in paragraph (a) of this clause shall
be —

 

1.                                       For
cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts, the amount of the fee specified in the contract at
the time of award;

 

2.                                       For
cost-plus-incentive-fee contracts, the target fee specified in the contract at
the time of award, notwithstanding any minimum fee or “fee floor” specified in
the contract;

 

3.                                       For
cost-plus-award-fee contracts —

 

i.                                          (Deviation)
The basic fee established in the contract at the time of contract award; Section .I,
Page 2

 

ii.                                       (Deviation)
If no basic fee is specified in the contract, 30 percent of the amount of each
award fee otherwise payable to the Contractor for each award fee evaluation
period or at each award fee determination point.

 

4.                                       For
fixed-price-incentive contracts, the Government may —

 

i.                                          Reduce
the contract target price and contract target profit both by an amount equal to
the initial target profit specified in the contract at the time of contract
award; or

 

58

 

ii.                                       If
an immediate adjustment to the contract target price and contract target profit
would have a significant adverse impact on the incentive price revision relationship
under the contract, or adversely affect the contract financing provisions, the
Contracting Officer may defer such adjustment until establishment of the total
final price of the contract.  The total
final price established in accordance with the incentive price revision
provisions of the contract shall be reduced by an amount equal to the initial
target profit specified in the contract at the time of contract award and such
reduced price shall be the total final contract price.

 

5.                                       For
firm-fixed-price contracts or contract modifications, by 10 percent of the
initial contract price; 10 percent of the contract modification price; or a
profit amount determined by the Contracting Officer from records or documents
in existence prior to the date of the contract award or modification.

 

c.                                       The
Government may, at its election, reduce a prime Contractor’s price or fee in
accordance with the procedures of paragraph (b) of this clause for
violations by its subcontractors by an amount not to exceed the amount of
profit or fee reflected in the subcontract at the time the subcontract was
first definitively priced.

 

d.                                      In
addition to the remedies in paragraphs (a) and (c) of this clause,
the Government may terminate this contract for default.  The rights and remedies of the Government
specified herein are not exclusive, and are in addition to any other rights and
remedies provided by law or under this contract.

 

I-3                                  DEAR
952.204-2 SECURITY (OCT 1987)

 

a.                                       Responsibility.   It is the contractor’s duty to safeguard all
classified information, special nuclear material, and other DOE property.  The contractor shall, in accordance with DOE
security regulations and requirements, be responsible for safeguarding all
classified information, and protecting against sabotage, espionage, loss and
theft, the ‘classified documents and material in the contractor’s possession in
connection with the performance of work under this contract.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in
this contract, the contractor shall, upon completion or termination of this
contract, transmit to DOE any classified matter in the possession of the
contractor or any person under the Contractor’s control in connection with
performance of this contract.  If
retention by the Contractor of any classified matter is required after the
completion or termination of the contract and such retention is approved by the
Contracting Officer, the Contractor will complete a certificate of possession
to be furnished to DOE specifying the classified matter to be retained.  The certification shall identify the items
and types or categories of matter retained, the conditions governing the
retention of the matter, and the period of retention, if known.  If the retention is approved by the Contracting
Officer, the security provisions of the

 

59

 

contract will
continue to be applicable to the matter retained.  Special nuclear material will not be retained
after the completion or termination of the contract.

 

b.                                      Regulations.  The Contractor agrees to conform to all
security regulations and requirements of DOE.

 

c.                                       Definition
of classified information.  The term “classified
information” means Restricted Data, Formerly Restricted Data, or National
Security Information.

 

d.                                      Definition
of restricted data.  The term “Restricted
Data” means all data concerning (1) design, manufacture, or utilization of
atomic weapons; (2) the production of special nuclear material; or (3) the
use of special nuclear material in the production of energy, but shall not
include data declassified or removed from the Restricted Data category pursuant
to Section 142 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.

 

e.                                       Definition
of formerly restricted data.  The term “Formerly
Restricted Data” means all data removed from the Restricted Data category under
section 142 d. of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.

 

f.                                         Definition
of National Security Information.  The
term “National Security Information” means any information or material,
regardless of its physical form or characteristics, that is owned by, produced
for or by, or is under the control of the United States Government, that has
been determined pursuant to Executive Order 12356 or prior Orders to require
protection against unauthorized disclosure, and which is so designated.

 

g.                                      Definition
of Special Nuclear Material (SNM).  SNM
means: (1) Plutonium, uranium enriched in the isotope 233 or in the
isotope 235, and any other material which pursuant to the provisions of Section 51
of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, has been determined to be special
nuclear material, but does not include source material; or (2) any
material artificially enriched by any of the foregoing, but does not include
source material.

 

h.                                      Security
clearance of personnel.  The Contractor
shall not permit any individual to have access to any classified information,
except in accordance with the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, Executive
Order 12356, and the DOE’s regulations or requirements applicable to the
particular level and category of classified information to which access is
required.

 

i.                                          Criminal
liability.  It is understood that
disclosure of any classified information relating to the work or services
ordered hereunder to any person not entitled to receive it, or failure to safeguard
any classified information that may come to the contractor or any person under
the Contractor’s control in connection with work under this contract, may
subject the contractor, its agents, employees, or subcontractors to criminal
liability under the laws of the United States. 
(See the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.;
18 U.S.C. 793 and 794; and Executive Order 12356).

j.                                          Subcontracts
and purchase orders.  Except as otherwise
authorized in writing by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall insert
provisions similar to the foregoing in all subcontracts and purchase orders
under this contract.

 

I-4                                  DEAR
952.204-70 CLASSIFICATION (APR 19841

 

In the performance of the work under this contract, the contractor
shall ensure that an Authorized Original Classifier or Derivative Classifier
shall assign classifications to all documents, material, and equipment
originated or generated under the contract in accordance with classification
regulations and guidance furnished to the contractor by the DOE.  Every subcontract and purchase order issued
hereunder involving the origination or generation o classified documents,
material, or equipment shall include a provision to the effect that in the
performance of such subcontract or purchase order, the subcontractor or
supplier shall ensure that an Authorized Original Classifier or Derivative
Classifier shall assign classifications to all such documents, materials, and
equipment in accordance with classification regulations and guidance furnished
to such subcontractor or supplier by the contractor.

 

I-5                                  DEAR
952.204-74 FOREIGN OWNERSHIP, CONTROL, OR INFLUENCE OVER CONTRACTOR (APR 1984)

 

a.                                       For
purposes of this clause, a foreign interest is defined as any of the following:

 

1.                                       A
foreign government or foreign government agency;

 

2.                                       Any
form of business enterprise organized under the laws of any country other than
the United States or its possessions;

 

3.                                       Any
form of business enterprise organized or incorporated under the laws of the
U.S., or a State or other jurisdiction within the U.S., which is owned,
controlled, or influenced by a foreign government, agency, firm, corporation or
person; or

 

4.                                       Any
person who is not a U.S. citizen.

 

b.                                      Foreign
ownership, control, or influence (FOCI) means the situation where the degree of
ownership, control, or influence over a contractor by a foreign interest is
such that a reasonable basis exists for concluding that compromise of
classified information, special nuclear material as defined in 10 CFR Part 710,
may result.

 

c.                                       For
purposes of this clause, subcontractor means any subcontractor at any tier and
the term “Contracting Officer” shall mean DOE Contracting Officer.  When this clause is included in a
subcontract, the term “Contractor” shall mean subcontractor and the term “contract”
shall mean subcontract.

 

d.                                      The
Contractor shall immediately provide the Contracting Officer written notice of
any changes in the extent and nature of FOCI over the contractor which would
affect the answers to the questions presented in DEAR 952.204-73.  Further,

 

61

 

notice of
changes in ownership or control which are required to be reported to the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Trade Commission, or the
Department of Justice shall also be furnished concurrently to the Contracting
Officer.

 

e.                                       In
those cases where a Contractor has changes involving FOCI, the DOE must
determine whether the changes will pose an undue risk to the common defense and
security.  In making this determination,
the Contracting Officer shall consider proposals made by the Contractor to
avoid or mitigate foreign influences.

 

f.                                         If
the Contracting Officer at any time determines that the Contractor is, or is
potentially, subject to FOCI, the Contractor shall comply with such
instructions as the Contracting Officer shall provide in writing to safeguard
any classified information or significant quantity of special nuclear material.

 

g.                                      The
Contractor agrees to insert terms that conform substantially to the language of
this clause including this paragraph (g) in all subcontracts under this
contract that will require access to classified information or a significant
quantity of special nuclear material. 
Additionally, the Contractor shall require such subcontractors to submit
a completed certification required in DEAR 952.204—73 prior to award of a
subcontract.  Information to be provided
by a subcontractor pursuant to this clause may be submitted directly to the
Contracting Officer.

 

h.                                      Information
submitted by the Contractor or any affected subcontractor as required pursuant
to this clause shall be treated by DOE to the extent permitted by law, as
business or financial information submitted in confidence to be used solely for
purposes of evaluating FOCI.

 

i.                                          The
requirements of this clause are in addition to the requirement that a
Contractor obtain and retain the security clearances required by the
contract.  This clause shall not operate
as a limitation on DOE’s rights, including its rights to terminate this
contract.

 

j.                                          The
Contracting Officer may terminate this contract for default either if the
Contractor fails to meet obligations imposed by this clause, e.g., provide the
information required by this clause, comply with the Contracting Officer’s
instructions about safeguarding classified information or make this clause
applicable to subcontractors, or, if in the Contracting Officer’s judgment, the
Contractor creates an FOCI situation in order to avoid performance or a
termination for default.  The Contracting
Officer may terminate this contract for convenience if the Contractor becomes
subject to FOCI and for reasons other than avoidance of performance of the
contract, cannot, or chooses not to, avoid or mitigate the FOCI problem.

I-6                                  FAR
52.208—1 REQUIRED SOURCES FOR JEWEL BEARINGS AND RELATED ITEMS (APR 1984)

 

a.                                       This
clause applies only if supplies furnished under this contract contain jewel
bearings or related items.

 

b.                                      “Jewel
bearing,” as used in this clause, means a piece of synthetic corundum (sapphire
or ruby) of any shape, except a phonograph needle, that has one or more
polished surfaces to provide supporting surfaces or low-friction contact areas
for revolving, oscillating, or sliding parts in an instrument, mechanism,
subassembly, or part.  A jewel bearing
may be unmounted or may be mounted into a ring or bushing.  Examples are watch holes-olive, watch
hole-straight, pallet stones, roller jewels (jewel pins), endstones (caps), vee
(cone) jewels, instrument rings, cups, and double cups.

 

“Plant,” as
used in this clause, means the Government- owned, Contractor-operated William
Langer Plant, Rolla, North Dakota 58367 (Phone: 701-477-3193).

 

“Price list,”
as used in this clause, means the U.S. Government Jewel Bearing Price List,
published periodically by the General Services Administration for jewel
bearings produced by the Plant.

 

“Related item,”
as used in this clause, means a piece of synthetic corundum (sapphire or ruby),
other than a jewel bearing, that (1) is made from material produced by the
Verneuil flame fusion process, (2) has a geometric shape up to a maximum
of 1 inch in any dimension, (3) requires extremely close tolerances and
highly polished surfaces identical to those involved in manufacturing jewel
bearings, and (4) is either mounted in a retaining or supporting structure
or unmounted.  Examples are window,
nozzle, guide, knife edge, knife edge plate, insulator domed pin, slotted
insulator, sphere, ring gauge, spacer, disc, valve seat, rod, vee groove,
D-shaped insulator, and notched plate.

 

c.                                       All
jewel bearings and related items required for the supplies to be furnished
under this contract (or an equal quantity of the same type, site, and
tolerances) shall be acquired from the following sources: jewel bearings from
the Plant, unless the Plant declines or rejects the order; and related items
from domestic manufacturers, including the Plant, if the items can be obtained
from those sources.  Sources other than
the foregoing may be used if the foregoing sources decline or reject the order.

 

1.                                       Orders
may be placed with the Plant for individual contracts, for a combination of
contracts, or for stock.  If the order is
for an individual contract, the prime contract number shall be placed on it.

 

2.                                       Orders,
and any supplements to orders, for items listed in the price list shall refer
to the most recent price list and its date.

 

3.                                       Requests
for quotations for items not listed in the price list should be accompanied by
drawings and forwarded to the Plant as soon as possible to ensure prompt
quotation or rejection of the
order.

 

63

 

d.                                      At
its option, the Plant may decline or reject all or part of a Contractor’s or
subcontractor’s order.  If the order is
declined or rejected, the Contractor shall notify the contract administration
office cognizant of this contract promptly in writing, enclosing a copy of the
rejection notice.  Unless the declination
or rejection has been caused by current excessive and overdue Contractor
indebtedness to the Plant as determined by the Plant, the contracting officer
shall evaluate the impact and make an equitable adjustment in the contract
price, in the delivery schedule, or in both, if one is warranted.  This procedure shall also apply to orders for
related items rejected by any other domestic manufacturer.

 

e.                                       The
Contractor agrees to insert this clause, including this paragraph (e), and the
prime contract number in every subcontract unless the Contractor has positive
knowledge that the subassembly, component, or part being purchased does not
contain jewel bearings or related items.

952.209—72 ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST—SPECIAL CLAUSE (NOV 1987)

 

a.                                       Purpose.  The primary purpose of this clause is to aid
in ensuring that the Contractor (1) is not biased because of its past,
present, or currently planned interests (financial, contractual,
organizational, or otherwise) which relate to the work under this contract, and
(2) does not obtain any unfair competitive advantage over other parties by
virtue of its performance of this contract.

 

b.                                      Scope.  The restrictions described herein shall apply
to performance or participation by the Contractor and any of its affiliates or
their successors in interest (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Contractor”)
in the activities covered by this clause as a prime Contractor, subcontractor,
cosponsor, joint venturer, consultant, or in any similar capacity.

 

1.                                       Technical
consulting and management support services.

 

i.                                          The
Contractor shall be ineligible to participate in any capacity in Department
contracts, subcontracts, or proposals therefor (solicited or unsolicited) which
stem directly from the Contractor’s performance of work under this
contract.  Furthermore, unless so
directed in writing by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall not
perform any technical consulting or management support services work under this
contract on any of its products or services or the products or services of
another firm if the Contractor is or has been substantially involved in their
development or marketing.  Nothing in
this subparagraph shall preclude the Contractor from competing for follow-on
contracts for technical consulting and management support services.

 

ii.                                       If
the Contractor under this contract prepares a complete or essentially complete
statement of work or specifications to be used

 

64

 

in competitive procurements, the Contractor
shall be ineligible to perform or participate in any capacity in any
contractual effort which is based on such statement of work or
specifications.  The Contractor shall not
incorporate its products or services in such statement of work or
specifications unless so directed in writing by the Contracting Officer, in
which case the restriction in this subparagraph shall not apply.

 

iii.                                    Nothing
in this paragraph shall preclude the Contractor from offering or selling its
standard commercial items to the Government.

 

2.                                       Access
to and use of information.

 

i.                                          If
the Contractor, in the performance of this contract, obtains access to
information, such as Department plans, policies, reports, studies, financial
plans, internal data protected by the Privacy Act of 1974 (Pub. L. 93-579), or
data which has not been released or otherwise made available to the public, the
Contractor agrees that without prior written approval of the contracting
officer it shall not: (a) use such information for any private purpose
unless the information has been released or otherwise made available to the
public; (b) compete for work for the Department based on such information
for a period of six (6) months after either the completion of this
contract or until such information is released or otherwise made available to
the public, whichever is first; (c) submit an unsolicited proposal to the
Government which is based on such information until one year after such
information is released or otherwise made available to the public; and (d) release
such information unless such information has previously been released or
otherwise made available to the public by the Department.

 

ii.                                       In
addition, the Contractor agrees that to the extent it receives or is given
access to proprietary data, data protected by the Privacy Act of 1974 (Pub. L.
93-579), or other confidential or privileged technical, business, or financial
information under this contract, it shall treat such information in accordance
with any restrictions imposed on such information.

 

iii.                                    The
Contractor shall have, subject to patent, data, and security clauses of this
contract, the right to use technical data it first produces under this contract
for its private purpose consistent with the Rights in Data provisions of this
contract.

 

c.                                       Disclosure
after award.

 

65

 

1.                                       The
Contractor agrees that if after award it discovers an organizational conflict
of interest with respect to this contract, an immediate and full disclosure
shall be made in writing to the contracting officer which shall include a
description of the action which the Contractor has taken or proposes to take to
avoid or mitigate such conflicts.  The
Department may, however, terminate the contract for convenience if it deems
such termination to be in the best interests of the Government.

 

2.                                       In
the event that the Contractor was aware of an organizational conflict of
interest prior to the award of this contract and did not disclose the conflict
to the Contracting Officer, the Department may terminate the contract for
default.

 

d.                                      Subcontracts.

 

1.                                       The
Contractor shall include this Clause, including this paragraph, in subcontracts
of any tier which involve performance or work of the type specified in
(b)(1)above or access to information of the type covered in (b)(2) above.  The terms “contract”, “Contractor” and “Contracting
Officer” shall be appropriately modified to preserve the Government’s rights.

 

2.                                       If
a subcontract is to be issued for evaluation services or activities, technical
consulting or management support services work as defined at DEAR 909.570, the
Contractor shall obtain for the Department a disclosure statement or
representation, in accordance with DOE regulations in effect at the time, from
each intended subcontractor or consultant. 
The Contractor shall not enter into any subcontract nor engage any
consultant unless the Contracting Officer shall have first notified the
Contractor that there is little or no likelihood that an organizational
conflict of interest exists or that despite the existence of a conflict of
interest the award is in the best interest of the Government.

 

e.                                       Remedies.  For breach of any of the above restrictions
or for nondisclosure or misrepresentation of any relevant facts required to be
disclosed concerning this contract, the Government may terminate the contract
for default, disqualify the Contractor for subsequent related contractual
efforts and pursue such other remedies as may be permitted by law or this
contract.

 

f.                                         Waiver.  Requests for waiver under this clause shall
be directed in writing to the Contracting Officer and shall include a full
description of the requested waiver and the reasons in support thereof.  If it is determined to be in the best
interests of the Government, the Contracting Officer shall grant such a waiver
in writing.

 

g.                                      Modifications.
Prior to a contract modification when the statement of work is modified to add
new work, the period of performance is significantly increased, or the parties
to the contract are changed, the Department will request and the

 

66

 

Contractor is
required to submit either an organizational conflict of interest disclosure or
representation or an update of the previously submitted disclosure or
representation.

952-212.73 COST AND SCHEDULE CONTROL SYSTEMS (SEP 1991)

 

a.                                       In
the performance of this contract, the Contractor shall establish, maintain, and
use cost and schedule control systems (management control systems) meeting
the criteria set forth in the contract and as described in detail in “Cost and Schedule Control
Systems Criteria for Contract Performance Measurement-Implementation Guide,”
annexed hereto and hereinafter referred to as the “Guide.” Prior to acceptance
by the contracting officer and within TBD calendar days after contract award,
the Contractor shall be prepared to demonstrate systems operation to the
Government to verify that the proposed systems meet the designated criteria. As
a part of the review procedures, the Contractor shall furnish the Government a
description of the cost and schedule control systems applicable to this
contract in such form and detail as indicated by the Guide, or as required by
the contracting officer. The Contractor agrees to provide access to all
pertinent records, data, and plans as requested by representatives of the
Government for the conduct of systems review.

 

b.                                      The
description of the management control systems accepted by the contracting
officer, identified by title and date, shall be referenced in the contract.
Such systems shall be maintained and used by the Contractor in the performance
of this contract.

 

c.                                       Contractor
changes to the reviewed systems shall be submitted for review and approval as
required by the Contracting Officer. When contracting officer approval is
required, the contracting officer shall advise the Contractor of the
acceptability of such changes within sixty (60) days after receipt from the
Contractor. When systems existing at the time of contract award do not comply
with the designated criteria, adjustments necessary to assure compliance will
be made at no change in contract price or fee.

 

d.                                      The
Contractor agrees to provide access to all pertinent records and data requested
by the contracting officer, or duly authorized representative, for the purpose
of permitting Government surveillance to insure continuing application of the
accepted systems to this contract. Deviations from the systems description
identified during contract performance shall be corrected as directed by the
contracting officer.

 

e.                                       The
Contractor shall require that each selected subcontractor, as mutually agreed
to between the Government and the Contractor and as set forth in the schedule of
this contract, meet the criteria for cost and schedule control systems as
set forth in subcontract and shall incorporate in all such subcontracts
adequate provisions for review and surveillance of subcontractor’s systems to
be carried out by the prime

 

67

 

Contractor, or
by the Government when requested by either the prime or subcontractor.

 

I-9                                  ORDER
OF PRECEDENCE

 

Any inconsistency in this solicitation or contract shall be resolved by
giving precedence in the following order: (a) the Statement of Work; (b) the
schedule; (c) contract clauses and; (d) other documents, exhibits,
and attachments. In the event of an inconsistency between or among contract
clauses directly dealing with cost allowability issues specific provisions of
this contract will take precedence over 31 applicable to the Contract.

52.215-39 REVERSION OR ADJUSTMENT OF PLANS FOR POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER
THAN PENSIONS (PRB) (JUL 1991)

 

The Contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer in writing
when it determines that it will terminate or reduce a PRB plan. If the PRB fund
assets revert, or inure, to the Contractor or are constructively received by it
under a plan termination or otherwise, the
Contractor shall make a refund or
give a credit to the Government for its equitable share as required by FAR
31.205-6(o)(5). The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause in
all subcontracts under this contract which meet the applicability requirements
of FAR 15.804-8(f). The resulting adjustment to prior years’ PRB costs will be
determined and applied in accordance with FAR 31.205-6(c).

952.216-7 ALLOWABLE COST AND PAYMENT (DEVIATION)(APR 1984) AND ALTERNATES I AND
II

 

a.                                       Invoicing.
(Deviation) The Government shall make payments to the Contractor within thirty days
of receipt of the invoice/voucher, in amounts determined to be allowable by the
Contracting Officer in accordance with the clause entitled “Insurance” and
Subpart 31 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) as supplemented by
Subpart 931 of the Department of Energy Acquisition Regulation (DEAR), in
effect on the date of this contract and the terms of this contract. The
Contractor may submit to an authorized representative of the Contracting
Officer, in such form and reasonable detail as the representative may require,
an invoice or voucher supported by a statement of the claimed allowable cost
for performing this contract.

 

b.                                      Reimbursing
costs.   (Deviation)

 

1.                                       For
the purpose of reimbursing allowable costs (except as provided in subparagraph (2) below,
with respect to pension, deferred profit sharing, and employee stock ownership
plan contributions), the term “costs” includes only —

 

i.                                          Those
recorded costs that, at the time of the request for reimbursement, the
Contractor has paid by cash, check, or other form of actual payment for items
or services purchased directly for the contract;

 

68

 

ii.                                       When
the Contractor is not delinquent in paying costs of contract performance in the
ordinary course of business, costs incurred, but not necessarily paid, for—

 

A.                                   Materials
issued from the Contractor’s inventory and placed in the production process for
use on the contract;

 

B.                                     Direct
labor;

 

C.                                     Direct
travel;

 

D.                                    Other
direct in-house costs; and

 

E.                                      Properly
allocable and allowable indirect costs, as shown in the records maintained by
the Contractor for purposes of obtaining reimbursement under Government
contracts; and

 

iii. The
amount of progress payments that have been paid to the Contractor’s
subcontractors under similar cost standards.

 

iv.                                   (Deviation)
Environmental Costs.

 

A.                                   Environmental
costs are those costs incurred by the Contractor for the primary purpose of
preventing pollution; properly handling, transporting, treating, storing, or
disposing of wastes or other materials generated by operations or activities
under the Contract; complying with federal, state, or local environmental laws
and regulations; and correcting past environmental damage caused by the
activity or inactivity of this Contractor under this contract.

 

B.                                     Environmental
costs that are determined reasonable and allocable under Subpart 31.2 of the
FAR and that are generated by current operations or activities under this
contract, except those resulting from violation of law or regulation, are
allowable.

 

C.                                     Environmental
costs incurred under this contract by the Contractor to remedy damage caused by
the Contractor’s past activities or inactivity, or for which it has been
administratively or judicially determined to be liable (including where a
settlement or consent decree has been issued) are presumed to be unallowable if
DOE was not responsible for such damage. For such costs to be considered
allowable, they must be determined reasonable and allocable in accordance with
FAR 31 and the Contractor must demonstrate to the Contracting Officer that it:

 

69

 

1.                                       Was
performing the contract at the time the conditions requiring clean-up were
created and performance of this contract contributed to the creation of the
conditions requiring clean-up;

 

2.                                       Was
conducting its activities or operations prudently at the time the conditions
requiring clean-up were created, in accordance with then-accepted standard
industry practices for environmental hazard prevention, and in compliance with
all then-existing environmental laws, permits, compliance agreements and
regulations;

 

3.                                       Acted
promptly and reasonably to prevent and minimize the damage and costs associated
with remedying the damage; and

 

4.                                       Demonstrates
that it has exhausted or is diligently pursuing all available legal and  contributory
(e.g., insurance or indemnification) sources to defray the clean-up costs.
If the Contractor subsequently obtains funds as a result of legal action or
other contributory source, it shall refund or credit the Government in
accordance with FAR 31.201-5.

 

2.                                       Contractor
contributions to any pension, profit-sharing, or employee stock ownership plan
funds that are paid quarterly or more often may be included in indirect costs
for payment purposes; provided, that the Contractor pays the contribution to
the fund within 30 days after the close of the period covered. Payments made 30
days or more after the close of a period shall not be included until the
Contractor actually makes the payment. Accrued costs for such contributions
that are paid less often than quarterly shall be excluded from indirect costs
for payment purposes until the Contractor actually makes the payment.

 

3.                                       Notwithstanding
the audit and adjustment of invoices or vouchers under paragraph (g) below;
allowable indirect costs under this contract shall be obtained by applying
indirect cost rates established in accordance with paragraph (d) below.

 

4.                                       Any
statements in specifications or other documents incorporated in this contract
by reference designating performance of services or furnishing of materials at
the Contractor’s expense or at no cost to the Government shall be disregarded
for purposes of cost-reimbursement under this clause.

 

70

 

c.                                       Small
business concerns. A small business concern may be paid more often than every 2
weeks and may invoice and be paid for recorded costs for items or services
purchased directly for the contract, even though the concern has not yet paid
for those items or services.

 

d.                                      Final
indirect cost rates.

 

1.                                       Final
annual indirect cost rates and the appropriate bases shall be established in
accordance with Subpart 42.7 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) in
effect for the period covered by the indirect cost rate proposal.

 

2.                                       The
Contractor shall, within 90 days after the expiration of each of its fiscal
years, or by a later date approved by the Contracting Officer, submit to the
cognizant Contracting Officer responsible for negotiating its final indirect
cost rates and, if required by agency procedures, to the cognizant audit
activity proposed final indirect cost rates for that period and supporting cost
data specifying the contract and/or subcontract to which the rates apply. The
proposed rates shall be based on the contractor’s actual cost experience for
that period. The appropriate Government representative and Contractor shall
establish the final indirect cost rates as promptly as practical after receipt
of the Contractor’s proposal.

 

3.                                       The
Contractor and the appropriate Government representative shall execute a
written understanding setting forth the final indirect cost rates. The
understanding shall specify (1) the agree-upon final annual indirect cost
rates, (ii) the basis to which the rates apply, (iii) the periods for
which the rates apply, (iv) any specific indirect cost items treated as
direct costs in the settlement, and (v) the affected contract and/or
subcontract, identifying any with advance agreements or special terms and the
applicable rates. The understanding shall not change any monetary ceiling,
contract obligation, or specific cost allowance or disallowance provided for in
this contract. The understanding is incorporated into this contract upon
execution.

 

4.                                       Failure
by the parties to agree on a final annual indirect cost rate shall be a dispute
within the meaning of the Disputes clause.

 

e.                                       Billing
rates. Until final annual indirect cost rates are established for any period,
the Government shall reimburse the Contractor at billing rates established by
the Contracting Officer or by an authorized representative (the cognizant
auditor), subject to adjustment when the final rates are established. These
billing rates—

 

1.                                       Shall
be the anticipated final rates; and

 

2.                                       May be
prospectively or retroactively revised by mutual agreement, at either party’s
request, to prevent substantial overpayment or underpayment.

 

71

 

f.                                         Quick-closeout
procedures. When the Contractor and Contracting Officer agree, the
quick-closeout procedures of Subpart 42.7 of the FAR may be used.

 

g.                                      Audit.
At any time or times before final payment, the Contracting Officer may have the
Contractor’s invoices or vouchers and statements of cost audited. Any payment may
be (1) reduced by amounts found by the Contracting Officer not to
constitute allowable costs or (2) adjusted for prior overpayment or
underpayments.

 

h.                                      Final
payment.

 

1.                                             The
Contractor shall submit a completion invoice or voucher, designated as such, promptly
upon completion of the work, but no later than one year (or longer, as the
Contracting Officer may approve in writing) from the completion date. Upon
approval of that invoice or voucher, and upon the Contractor’s compliance with
all terms of this contract, the Government shall promptly pay any balance of
allowable costs and that part of the fee (if any) not previously paid.

 

2.                                             The
Contractor shall pay to the Government any refunds, rebates, credits, or other
amounts (including interest, if any) accruing to or received by the Contractor
or any assignee under this contract, to the extent that those amounts are
properly allocable to costs for which the contractor has been reimbursed by the
Government. Reasonable expenses incurred by the Contractor for securing
refunds, rebates, credits, or other amounts shall be allowable costs if
approved by the Contracting Officer. Before final payment under this contract,
the Contractor and each assignee whose assignment is in effect at the time of
final payment shall execute and deliver —

 

i.                                          An
assignment to the Government, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Contracting Officer, of refunds, rebates, credits, or other amounts (including
interest, if any) properly allocable to costs for which the Contractor has been
reimbursed by the Government under this contract; and

 

ii.                                       A
release discharging the Government, its officers, agents, and employees from
all liabilities, obligations, and claims arising out of or under this contract,
except—

 

A.                                   Specified
claims stated in exact amounts, or in estimated amounts when the exact amounts
are not known;

 

B.                                     Claims,
together with reasonable expenses incidental thereto, based upon liabilities of
the Contractor to third parties arising out of the performance of this contract;
provided that such claims are not known to the Contractor on the date of the
execution of the release; and provided

 

72

 

further that the Contractor gives notice of

4.                                       Include

provisions in the subcontracts shall not relieve the Contractor of its
obligations to assure compliance with the provisions of this clause for all
aspects of the work.

 

d.                                      The

Officer, its policies, procedures, and provisions for including appropriate
environment, safety and health requirements, including reporting requirements,
in subcontracts, with respect to work to be performed on-site at a DOE-owned or
-leased facility.  These safety and
health requirements shall be in accordance with applicable DOE regulations,
directives, and other DOE requirements. The subcontract provisions shall
provide that no claim shall be made for adjustment in the subcontract amount or
the performance schedule, or for damages, by reason of

order issued for failure to comply with safety and health regulations or
requirements of DOE. The approved subcontract provisions shall be included in
subcontracts as appropriate.

52.230-3 DISCLOSURE AND CONSISTENCY OF COST ACCOUNTING PRACTICES (AUG 1992)

 

a.                                       The
Contractor, in connection with this contract, shall—

 

1.                                       Comply with the requirements of 48 CFR,
Subpart 9904.401, Consistency in Estimating, Accumulating, and Reporting Costs,
and 48 CFR, Subpart 9904,402, Consistency in Allocating Costs Incurred for the
Same Purpose, in effect on the date of award of this contract as indicated in
48 CFR, part 9904.

 

2.                                       (CAS-covered
Contracts Only). If it is a business unit of a company required to submit a
Disclosure Statement, disclose in writing its cost accounting practices as
required by 48 CFR, subparts 9903.202-1 through 9903.202-5. If the Contractor
has notified the Contracting Officer that the Disclosure Statement contains
trade secrets and commercial or financial information which is privileged and
confidential, the Disclosure Statement shall be protected and shall not be
released outside of the Government.

 

3.                                       i.                                          Follow
consistently the Contractor’s cost accounting practices. A change to such
practices may be proposed, however, by either the Government or the Contractor,
and the Contractor agrees to negotiate with the Contracting Officer the terms
and conditions under which a change may be made. After the terms and conditions
under which the change is to be made have been agreed to, the change must be
applied prospectively to this contract, and the Disclosure Statement, if
affected, must be amended accordingly.

 

ii.                                       The
Contractor shall, when the parties agree to a change to a cost accounting
practice and the Contracting Officer has made ‘the finding required in 48 CFR,
subpart 9903.201-6(b), that the change is desirable and not detrimental to the
interests of the Government, negotiate an equitable adjustment as provided in
the Changes clause of this contract.  In
the absence of the required finding, no agreement may be made under this
contract clause that will increase costs paid by the United States.

 

4.                                       Agree
to an adjustment of the contract price or cost allowance, as appropriate, if
the Contractor or a subcontractor fails to comply with the applicable CAS or to
follow any cost accounting practice, and such failure results in any increased
costs paid by the United States. Such adjustment shall provide for recovery of
the increased costs to the United States together with interest thereof
computed at an annual rate of interest established under the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986 (26 U.S.C. 6621), from the time the payment by the United States
was made to the time the adjustment is effected.

 

82

 

b.                                      If
the parties fail to agree whether the Contractor has complied with an
applicable CAS, rule, or regulation as specified in 48 CFR, parts 9903 and 9904
and as to any cost adjustment demanded by the United States, such failure to
agree will constitute a dispute under the Contract Disputes Act (41 U.S.C.
601).

 

c.                                       The
Contractor shall permit any authorized representatives of the Government to
examine and make copies of any documents, papers, and records relating to
compliance with the requirements of this clause.

 

d.                                      The
Contractor shall include in all negotiated subcontracts, which the Contractor
enters into, the substance of this clause, except paragraph (b), and shall
require such inclusion in all other subcontracts of any tier, except that—

 

1.                                       If
the subcontract is awarded to a business unit which pursuant to 48 CFR, subpart
9903.201 is required to follow all CAS, the clause entitled “Cost Accounting
Standards” set forth in FAR 52.230-2, shall be inserted in lieu of this clause;
or

 

2.                                       This
requirement shall apply only to negotiated subcontracts in excess of $500,000
where the price negotiated is not based on—

 

i.                                          Established
catalog or market prices of commercial items sold in substantial quantities to
the general public; or

 

ii.                                       Price
set by law or regulation; or

 

3.                                       The
requirement shall not apply to negotiated subcontracts otherwise exempt from
the requirement to include a CAS clause as specified in 48 CFR, Subpart 9903.201-1.

The Contractor agrees that it will
consistently follow the cost accounting practices disclosed on Form CASB
DS-1 in estimating, accumulating and reporting costs under this contract. In
the event the Contractor fails to follow such practices, it agrees that the
contract price shall be adjusted, together with interest, if such failure
results in increased cost paid by the U.S. Government. Interest shall be
computed at the annual rate of interest established under section 6621 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 ( 26 U.S.C. 6621) from the time payment by
the Government was made to the time adjustment is effected.  The Contractor agrees that the disclosure
Statement filed with the U.K. Ministry of Defense shall be available for
inspection and use by authorized representatives of the United States
Government.

other withholding for which the Contracting Officer determines that this
limitation is inappropriate.

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 onsite 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

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.

a.                                       Authority.
This clause is incorporated into this contract pursuant to the authority
contained in subsection 170d. of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended
(hereinafter called the Act.)

 

b.                                      Definitions.
The definitions set out in the Act shall apply to this clause.

 

c.                                       Financial
protection. Except as hereafter permitted or required in writing by DOE, the contractor
will not be required to provide or maintain, and will not provide or maintain
at Government expense, any form of financial protection to cover public
liability, as described in paragraph (d)(2) below. DOE may, however, at
any time require in writing that the contractor provide and maintain financial
protection of such a type and in such amount as DOE shall determine to be
appropriate to cover such public liability, provided that the costs of such
financial protection are reimbursed to the contractor by DOE.

 

d.                                      1.                                       Indemnification.
To the extent that the contractor and other persons indemnified are not
compensated by any financial protection permitted or required by DOE, DOE will
indemnify the contractor and other persons indemnified against (i) claims
for public liability as described in subparagraph (d)(2) of this clause;
and (ii) such legal costs of the contractor and other persons indemnified
as are approved by DOE, provided that DOE’s liability, including such legal
costs, shall not exceed the amount set forth in section 170e.(1)(B) of
the Act in the aggregate for each nuclear incident or precautionary evacuation
occurring within the

 

85

 

United States or $100 million in the aggregate for each nuclear
incident occurring outside the United States, irrespective of the number of
persons indemnified in connection with this contract.

 

2.                                       The
public liability referred to in subparagraph (d)(1) of this clause is
public liability as defined in the Act which (i) arises out of or in
connection with the activities under this contract, including transportation;
and (ii) arises out of or results from a nuclear incident or precautionary
evacuation, as those terms are defined in the Act.

 

e.                                       1.                                       Waiver
of Defenses. In the event of a nuclear incident, as defined in the Act, arising
out of nuclear waste activities, as defined in the Act, the contractor, on
behalf of itself and other persons indemnified, agrees to waive any issue or
defense as to charitable or governmental immunity.

 

2.               In
the event of an extraordinary nuclear occurrence which:

 

i.                                          Arises
out of, results from, or occurs in the course of the construction, possession,
or operation of a production or utilization facility; or

 

ii.                                       Arises
out of, results from, or occurs in the course of transportation of source
material, by-product material, or special nuclear material to or from a
production or utilization facility; or

 

iii.                                    Arises
out of or results from the possession, operation, or use by the contractor or a
subcontractor of a device utilizing special nuclear material or by-product
material, during the course of the contract activity; or

 

iv.                                   Arises
out of, results from, or occurs in the course of nuclear waste activities, the
contractor, on behalf of itself and other persons indemnified, agrees to waive:

 

A.                                   Any
issue or defense as to the conduct of the claimant (including the conduct of
persons through whom the claimant derives its cause of action) or fault of
persons indemnified, including, but not limited to:

 

1.                                       Negligence;

 

2.                                       Contributory
negligence;

 

3.                                       Assumption
of risk; or

 

4.                                       Unforeseeable
intervening causes, whether involving the conduct of a third person or an act
of God;

 

86

 

B.                                     Any
issue or defense as to charitable or governmental immunity; and

 

C.                                     Any
issue or defense based on any statute of limitations, if suit is instituted
within 3 years from the date on which the claimant firs: knew, or reasonably
could have know, of his injury or change and the cause thereof.  The waiver of any such issue or defense shall
be effective regardless of whether such issue or defense may otherwise be
deemed jurisdictional or relating to an element in the cause of action. The waiver
shall be judicially enforceable in accordance with its terms by the claimant
against the person indemnified.

 

v.                                      The
term “extraordinary nuclear occurrence” means an event which DOE has determined
to be an extraordinary nuclear occurrence as defined in the Act. A
determination of whether or not there has been an extraordinary nuclear
occurrence will be made in accordance with the procedures in 10 CFR part 840.

 

vi.                                   For
the purposes of that determination, “offsite” as that term is used in 10 CFR
part 840 means away from “the contract location” which phrase means any DOE
facility, installation, or site at which contractual activity under this
contract is being carried on, and any contractor-owned or controlled facility,
installation, or site at which the contractor is engaged in the performance of
contractual activity under this contract.

 

3.               The
waivers set forth above:

 

i.                                          Shall
be effective regardless of whether such issue or defense may otherwise be
deemed jurisdictional or relating to an element in the clause of action;

 

ii.                                       Shall
be judicially enforceable in accordance with its terms by the claimant against
the person indemnified;

 

iii.                                    Shall
not preclude a defense based upon a failure to take reasonable steps to
mitigate damages;

 

iv.                                   Shall
not apply to injury or damage to a claimant or to a claimant’s property which
is intentionally sustained by the claimant or which results from a nuclear
incident intentionally and wrongfully caused by the claimant;

 

v.                                      Shall
not apply to injury to a claimant who is employed at the site of and in
connection with the activity where the extraordinary nuclear occurrence takes
place, if benefits therefor are either

 

87

 

payable or required to be provided under any
workmen’s compensation or occupational disease law;

 

vi.                                   Shall
not apply to any claim resulting from a nuclear incident occurring outside the
United States;

 

vii.                                Shall
be effective only with respect to those obligations set forth in this clause
and in insurance policies, contracts or other proof of financial protection;
and

 

viii.                             Shall
not apply to, or prejudice the prosecution or defense of, any claim or portion
of claim which is not within the protection afforded under (A) the limit
of liability provisions under subsection 170e. of the Act, and (B) the
terms of this agreement and the terms of insurance policies, contracts, or
other proof of financial protection.

 

f.                                         Notification
and litigation of claims. The contractor shall give immediate written notice to
DOE of any known action or claim filed or made against the contractor or other
person indemnified for public liability as defined in paragraph (d)(2). Except
as otherwise directed by DOE, the contractor shall furnish promptly to DOE,
copies of all pertinent papers received by the contractor or filed with respect
to such actions or claims. DOE shall have the right to, and may collaborate
with, the contractor and any other person indemnified in the settlement or
defense of any action or claim and shall have the right to (1) require the
prior approval of DOE for the payment of any claim that DOE be required to
indemnify hereunder; and (2) appear through the Attorney General on behalf
of the contractor or other person indemnified in any-action brought upon any
claim that DE may be required to indemnify hereunder; take charge of such
action, and settle or defend any such action. If the settlement or defense of
any such action or claim is undertaken by DOE, the contractor or other person
indemnified shall furnish all reasonable assistance in effecting a settlement
or asserting a defense.

 

g.                                      Continuity
of DOE obligations. The obligations of DOE under this clause shall not be
affected by any failure on the part of the contractor to fulfill its obligation
under this contract and shall be unaffected by the death, disability, or
termination of existence of the contractor, or by the completion, termination
or expiration of this contract.

 

h.                                      Effect
of other clauses. The provisions of this clause shall not be limited in any way
by, and shall be interpreted without reference to any, other clause of this
contract, including the clause entitled Contract Disputes provided, however,
that this clause shall be subject to the clauses entitled Covenant Against
Contingent Fees, Officials Not to Benefit, and Examination of Records by the
Comptroller General, and any provisions that are later added to this contract
as required by applicable Federal law, including statutes, executive orders and
regulations, to be included in Nuclear Hazards Indemnity Agreements.

 

88

 

i.                                          Civil
penalties. The contractor and its subcontractors and suppliers who are
indemnified under the provisions of this clause are subject to civil penalties,
pursuant to 234A of the Act, for violations of applicable DOE nuclear-safety
related rules, regulations, or orders.

 

j.                                          Criminal
penalties. Any individual director, officer, or employee of the contractor or
of its subcontractors and suppliers who are indemnified under the provisions of
this clause are subject to criminal penalties, pursuant to 223(c) of the
Act, for knowing and willful violation of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as
amended, and applicable DOE nuclear safety-related rules, regulations or orders

l.                                          To
the extent that the Contractor is compensated by any financial protection, or
is indemnified pursuant to this clause, or is effectively relieved of pubic
liability by an order or orders limiting same, pursuant to 170e of the Act, the

Standard or Optional Form number and edition date.

 

b.                                      Unless
prohibited by agency regulations, any data required to be submitted on an
agency unique form prescribed by an agency supplement to the FAR may be
submitted on a computer generated version of the form provided there is no
change to the name, content, or sequence of the data elements on the form and
provided the form carries the agency form number and edition date.

 

c.                                       If

I-32                            INSURANCE

 

a.                                       The
terms in this contract shall take precedence over provisions in FAR 31.205-19, “Insurance
and Indemnification.” This clause and the clauses entitled “Special Provision
on Financial Accountability,” “Nuclear Hazards Indemnity Agreement,” “Allowable
Cost and Payment,” and “Preexisting Conditions” provide the controlling
insurance and indemnification provisions for this contract.

 

b.                                      The
Contractor shall procure and maintain such bonds and insurance as required or
approved in writing by the Contracting Officer. 
The terms and conditions of any such bonds and insurance shall conform
to the directions of the Contracting Officer. In view of the provisions of
subparagraph (e) of the clause entitled Special Provision on Financial
Accountability, the Contractor may, at its own expense and not as an allowable
cost, procure for its own protection insurance covering loss or destruction of,
or damage to, Government property to compensate the Contractor for any
unallowable or nonreimbursable costs incurred in connection with such property.

 

c.                                       Legally
required contributions to old-age and survivors’ insurance, unemployment
compensation plans, and workmen’s compensation plans (whether or not covered by
insurance) are allowable insurance costs under this contract. Other types of
personnel-related insurance are covered under FAR 31.205-6.

 

d.                                      In
the event of a third party claim against the contractor, the cost and expense
of which the Contractor would propose to submit as a claim for allowable costs,
paragraph (f), “Costs related to legal defense and settlement of claims,” of
the clause entitled “Special Provisions on Financial Accountability” shall
apply.  In the event the Contractor has
insurance covering part, but not all, of the amount claimed and proposes to
submit part of the claim as an unallowable cost, the Contractor shall:  (1) immediately notify the Contracting
Officer and promptly furnish copies of all pertinent papers received; and (2) authorize
Government representatives to collaborate with counsel for the insurance
carrier in settling or defending the claim.

I-34                            PROCUREMENT
OF ARCHITECT-ENGINEERING SERVICES

 

Upon direction of the contracting officer,
the Contractor shall procure Architect-Engineering (A-E) Services using FAR
Part-36 and DEAR Part 936 as guides. The Brooks Act, Public Law 92-582,
establishes the policy and procedures necessary to assure the selection of A-E
Contractors by the Federal Government is based solely upon the qualifications
of competing A-E firms. The Act does not directly govern the award of A-E
subcontracts. However, the Contractor shall assure that its purchasing system
and methods reflect the essence of the Federal policy by providing for
selection of A-E

 

91

 

subcontractors based primarily upon proposer’s
qualifications, however, this does preclude the consideration of other factors
including cost or price, in the selection of A-E subcontractors.

 

Combinations of subcontractors for
architect-engineer and construction services, which may result in
self-inspection of construction work, shall not be awarded unless specifically
authorized by the Contracting Officer.

 

I-35                            WORKER’S

Washington (Title 51, Revised Code of Washington) shall, for performance of
work under this contract at the Hanford Site, including work subcontracted,
except work performed under certain lump-sum subcontracts as determined by the
Contracting Officer, be subject to the following:

 

1.               Except
as provided above and in paragraph (6) below, the Contractor shall be
relieved of all obligation to pay premiums for such coverage, DOE having
agreed, under the terms of a contract with the Department of Labor and
Industries of the State of Washington (hereinafter called the “Department”) to
bear the actual cost of such coverage.

 

2.               The
Contractor shall submit to DOE, for transmittal to the Department, such payroll
records as are required by the said statutes, except as provided above and in
paragraph (6) below.

 

3.               The
Contractor shall, for coverage of each individual employer or any member or
officer of any corporate employer provided for by Section 51.32.030 of the
Revised Code of Washington, submit to DOE for transmittal to the Department the
written notice required by that section.

 

4.               The
Contractor shall submit to DOE, for transmittal to the Department, the accident
reports provided for by Section 51.28.010 of the Revised Code of
Washington.

 

5.               The
Contractor shall take such action, and only such action, as DOE requests in
connection with any. accident reports, including assistance in the
investigation and disposition of any claim thereunder and, subject to the
direction and control of DOE, the conduct of litigation in the Contractor’s own
name in connection therewith.

 

6.               The
Contractor shall be responsible for making all payments and submitting all
reports required by Title 51, Section 51.32.073, Revised Code of
Washington.

a.                                       1.                                       If,
as a result of any instruction or direction given by DOE pursuant to the
provisions of this contract, the level of the Contractor’s effort under this
contract is materially increased or decreased, the fee provided for in the
clause entitled “Payment of Basic Fee and Award Fee” may or may not be
adjusted. In the event either party deems that an adjustment in fee is
appropriate, it will, within thirty (30) days after issuance of the instruction
or direction, so notify the other party in writing and the parties will attempt
to agree upon the amount by which the fee should be increased or decreased.
Failure of the parties so to agree shall constitute a dispute within the
meaning of the article entitled “Disputes.”

 

2.                                       Services
pursuant to mutual agreement (Related Services) under the provisions of this
contract shall be performed without additional fee unless DOE and the
Contractor shall mutually agree in writing that they will constitute a material
increase in the level of the Contractor’s effort under this contract, in which
event the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to agree upon an
equitable fee for such additional services. Failure of the parties so to agree
shall constitute a dispute within the meaning of the clause entitled “Disputes.”

 

b.                                      Work
to continue. Nothing contained in this clause shall excuse the Contractor from
proceeding with the prosecution of the work in accordance with the requirements
of any direction hereunder.

Contractor shall furnish to the Contracting Officer a chart showing the names,
duties, and organization of key personnel to be employed in connection with the
work, and shall furnish from time to time supplementary information reflecting
changes therein.

 

b.                                      Supervisory
representative of Contractor. Unless otherwise directed by the Contracting
Officer, a competent full-time resident supervisory representative of the
Contractor satisfactory to the Contracting Officer shall be in charge of the
work at the site at all times. This also applies to off-site work.

 

c.                                       The
Contractor shall be responsible for maintaining satisfactory standards of
employee competency, conduct, and integrity and shall be responsible for taking
such disciplinary action with respect to its employees as may be necessary. The
Contractor shall establish such standards and procedures as are necessary to
implement effectively the provisions set forth in 970.2272, and such standards
and procedures shall be subject to the approval of the Contracting Officer. If
the Contractor fails to remove any employee from the contract work whom DOE
deems incompetent, careless, or insubordinate, or whose continued employment on
the work is deemed by DOE to be contrary to the public interest, the Government
reserves the right to require the Contractor to remove the employee.

a.                                       [(Name
of contractor)] shall develop and implement formal policies, practices, and
procedures to be used in the award of subcontracts, which purchasing system and
methods shall be fully documented and acceptable to DOE, in accordance with the
policies set forth in DEAR 970.71. DOE reserves the right at any time to
require that the contractor submit for approval any or all purchases under this
contract. The contractor shall not purchase any item or service the purchase of
which is expressly prohibited by the written direction of DOE and shall use
such special and directed sources as may be expressly required by the DOE Contracting
Officer.

 

b.                                      The
obligations of [(name of contractor)] under paragraph (a) above, including
the development of the purchasing system and methods, and purchases made
pursuant thereto, shall not relieve the contractor of any obligation under this
contract (including, among other things, the obligation to properly supervise,
administer, and coordinate the work of subcontractors). Subcontracts shall be
in the name of the contractor, and shall not bind or purport to bind the
Government.

 

c.                                       In
addition to, and without derogation of any rights under paragraph (a) of
this clause and any other provision in this contract, [(name of contractor)]

conditions and in accordance with the requirements set forth in FAR 15.804, and
shall include in such subcontracts the appropriate clause set forth in 970.5204-24
except as otherwise directed or approved by DOE.

 

d.                                      Purchase
or transfer of equipment, materials, supplies, or services from a contractor-affiliated
source shall be treated in accordance with DEAR 970.7105.

awards to firms or individuals on either the GSA Consolidated List of Debarred,
Suspended, and Ineligible Contractors or the DOE Consolidated list of Debarred,
Suspended, Ineligible, and Voluntarily Excluded Awardees shall be forwarded to

accordance with DEAR 970.7109; shall document purchases in writing; and shall
establish and maintain subcontract files which present an accurate and adequate
record of all purchasing transactions.

a.                                 The
contractor agrees to notify the contracting officer of any State or local tax,
fee, or charge levied or purported to be levied on or collected from the
contractor with respect to the contract work, any transaction thereunder, or
property in the custody or control of the contractor and constituting an
allowable item of cost if due and payable, but which the contractor has reason
to believe, or the contracting officer has advised the contractor, is or may be
inapplicable or invalid;* and the contractor further agrees to refrain from
paying any such tax, fee, or charge unless authorized in writing by the
Contracting Officer. Any State or local tax, fee, or charge paid with the
approval of the contracting officer or on the basis of advice from the
contracting officer that such tax, fee, or charge is applicable and valid, and
which would otherwise be an allowable item of cost, shall not be disallowed as
an item of cost by reason of any subsequent ruling or determination that such
tax, fee, or charge was in fact inapplicable or invalid.

 

* Requirement for notice may be broadened to
include all State and local taxes which may be claimed as allowable costs when
considered to be appropriate.

 

b.                                      The
contractor agrees to take such action as may be required or approved by the
contracting officer to cause any State or local tax, fee, or charge which would
be an allowable cost to be paid under protest; and to take such action as may
be required or approved by the contracting officer to seek recovery of any
payments made, including assignment to the Government or its designee of all
rights to an abatement or refund thereof, and granting permission for the
Government to join with the contractor in any proceedings for the recovery
thereof or to sue for recovery in the name of the contractor. If the
contracting officer directs the contractor to institute litigation to enjoin
the collection of or to recover payment of any such tax, fee, or charge
referred to above, or if a claim or suit is filed against the contractor for a
tax, fee, or charge it has refrained from paying in accordance with this
article, the procedures and requirements of the article entitled “Litigation
and Claims” shall apply and-the costs and expenses incurred by the contractor
shall be allowable items of costs, as provided in this contract, together with
the amount of any judgment rendered against the contractor.

 

c.                                       The
Government shall hold the contractor harmless from penalties and interest
incurred through compliance with this clause. All recoveries or credits in
respect of the foregoing taxes, fees, and charges (including interest) shall
inure to and be for the sole benefit of the Government.

a.                                       The
activities under this contract include the operation of nuclear facilities. The
Contractor recognizes that such operations involves the risk of a nuclear
incident which, while the chances are remote, could adversely affect the public
health and safety as well as the environment. Therefore, the Contractor will
exercise a degree of care commensurate with the risk involved.

 

95

 

b.                                      The
Contractor shall comply with all applicable regulations of DOE concerning
nuclear safety and with those requirements (including reporting requirements
and instructions) of DOE concerning nuclear safety of which it is notified in
writing by the contracting officer.

 

c.                                       Prior
to the initial startup of any nuclear facility under this contract and prior to
any subsequent startup following a change which represents a significant
deviation from the procedures, equipment, or analyses described in the safety
analysis reports or other hazards summary reports for that facility, the
Contractor shall:

 

1.                                       Prepare
a safety analysis report and detailed plans and procedures designed to assure
the safe operations and maintenance of the facility in accordance with
applicable DOE regulations and directives. For nuclear reactors and critical
facilities, technical specifications shall also be provided.

 

2.                                       Establish
nuclear safety control procedures to be used within the Contractor’s
organization to insure competent independent review and internal approval of
the safety analysis report and the detailed plans and procedures specified in (1) above.

 

3.                                       Submit
to the contracting officer for his approval such procedures relating to nuclear
safety as may be designated by him.

 

4.                                       Carry
out a program of initial training and periodic requalification designed to
assure that all personnel who will be engaged in nuclear operations or
maintenance understand the approved plans and procedures for nuclear safety and
are qualified to perform their assigned functions; and

 

5.                                       Obtain
the approval of the contracting officer prior to start-up of the facility.

 

d.                                      In
the operation and maintenance of any nuclear facility under this contract, the
Contractor shall:

 

1.                                       Use
all reasonable efforts to assure that all operational and maintenance activities
are performed by qualified and adequately trained personnel, and except as
otherwise agreed in writing, are conducted under the supervision of personnel
who are qualified and authorized to evaluate any emergency condition and take
prompt effective action with respect thereto.

 

2.                                       Operate
the facility within the technical specifications or operational safety
requirements which are approved by the contracting officer.

 

96

 

3.                                       Follow
strictly the procedures relating to nuclear safety approved by the contracting
officer in (c)(3) above, and submit to the contracting officer for his
approval, any proposed changes in such procedures.

 

4.                                       Establish
an auditable, well—defined, internal safety review and inspection system
approved by the contracting officer (including review and inspection reports by
competent technical personnel) that will: (1) Provide frequent and
periodic checks of facility performance and of the qualifications and training
of operating and maintenance personnel, and (ii) provide for investigation
of any unusual or unpredicted conditions that might affect safe operations.

 

5.                                       Report
promptly to the contracting officer any change in the physical condition of the
facility or its operating characteristics that might, in the judgment of the
Contractor, affect the safe operation of the facility.

 

6.                                       Terminate
operations at the facility immediately whenever so instructed by the
contracting officer, or whenever, in the judgment of the Contractor, the risk
of a nuclear incident endangering persons or property warrants such action.

 

7.                                       Prepare,
in cooperation with other services and facilities available at the site and
with the approval of the Contracting Officer, a plan for minimizing the effects
of a nuclear incident upon the health and safety of all persons on the site;
participate as directed in the integration of the Contractor’s and contracting
officer’s emergency plans with the responsible state and local government’s
emergency plans for protection of the public offsite; instruct its personnel as
to their participation in such plans and any personal risk to such personnel
that may be involved; and participate in such practice exercises as may be
desirable to assure the effectiveness of such plans.

 

8.                                       At
an appropriate time as determined by the Contracting Officer, prepare and
submit to the Contracting Officer for his approval, shutdown, decommissioning,
decontamination and property management plans leading to orderly and safe
program disposition of the nuclear facility and any associated nuclear wastes
or other hazardous material.

 

9.                                       In
the event that the Contractor fails to comply with said standards and
requirements of DOE, the contracting officer may, without prejudice to any
other legal or contractual rights of DOE, issue an order stopping all or any

I-49                            DEAR
970.5204-45 TERMINATION (DEVIATION) (APR 1991)

 

a.                                       This
contract shall continue until the date shown in the clause of this contract
entitled “Term of Contract(s)” unless sooner terminated in accordance with the
provisions which follow:

 

1.                                       The
performance of work under this contract may be terminated by the Government in
whole, or from time to time in part, (i) whenever the Contractor shall
default in performance, and shall fail to cure the fault or failure within such
period as the Contracting Officer may allow after receipt from the Contracting
Officer of a notice specifying the fault or failure, or (ii) whenever, for

not in default, such notice of default shall be deemed to have been issued
pursuant to (a)(1)(ii) above, and the rights and obligations of the
parties hereto shall in such event be governed accordingly.

 

2.                                       Upon
receipt of notice of termination, in accordance with (1) above, the
Contractor shall, to the extent directed in writing by the Contracting Officer,
discontinue the terminated work and the placing of orders for materials,
facilities, supplies, and services in connection therewith, and shall proceed,
if, and to the extent required by the Contracting Officer, to cancel promptly
and settle with the approval of the Contracting Officer, existing orders,
subcontracts, and commitments insofar as such orders, subcontracts, and
commitments pertain to this contract.

 

98

 

b.                                      Upon
the termination of this contract, full and complete settlement of all claims of
the Contractor and of DOE arising out of this contract shall be made as
follows:

 

1.                                       The
Government shall have the right in its discretion to assume sole responsibility
for any or all obligations, commitments, and claims that the Contractor may
have undertaken or incurred, the cost of which is allowable in accordance with
the provisions of this contract; and the Contractor shall, as a condition of
receiving the payments mentioned in this article, execute and deliver all such
papers and; take all such steps as the Contracting Officer may require for the
purpose of fully vesting in the Government any rights and benefits the
Contractor may have under or in connection with such obligations, commitments,
or claims.

 

2.                                       The
Government shall treat as allowable costs all expenditures made in accordance
with and allowable under the clause entitled “Allowable Cost and Payment,” not
previously so allowed or otherwise credited for work performed prior to the
effective date of termination, together with expenditures as may be incurred
for a reasonable time thereafter with the approval of, or as directed by, the
Contracting Officer.

 

3.                                       The
Government shall treat as allowable costs, to the extent not included in (b)(2) above,
the costs of settling and paying claims arising out of the termination of work
under orders, subcontracts, and commitments as provided in (a)(2) above.

 

4.                                       The
Government shall treat as allowable costs the reasonable costs of settlement,
including accounting, legal, clerical, and other expenses reasonably necessary
for the preparation of settlement claims and supporting data with respect to
the termination of the contract and for the termination and settlement of
orders and subcontracts thereunder, together with such further expenditures
made by the Contractor after the date of termination for the protection or
disposition of Government property as are approved or required by the
Contracting Officer, provided, however, that if the termination is for default
of the Contractor, there shall not be included any amount for preparation of
the Contractor’s settlement proposal.

 

5.                                       If
the performance of work under this contract is terminated in whole by the
Government, the basic and award fee of the Contractor shall be prorated to and
including the effective date of such termination.  In addition, if the termination is for the
convenience of the Government, the Contractor shall be paid a fixed fee in an
amount to be agreed upon as compensation for its services in closing out the
work under this contract after the effective date of such termination. The
additional fixed fee is to be negotiated as soon as practicable after service
of notice of termination, shall take into account the estimate of the cost of
the services and managerial effort to be rendered under this clause after the
effective date

 

99

 

of termination, and shall be provided for in
a supplement or amendment to this contract prior to final settlement hereunder.
Pending agreement as to the amount of such fee, the Contractor shall diligently
proceed with the performance of the services required under this clause. No
additional fee will be paid if the contract is terminated due to the default of
the Contractor. In the event of a partial termination by the Government, an
equitable adjustment shall be made in the fee if such termination results in a
material decrease in the level of the Contractor’s management effort. Any
failure to agree on the right to or the amount of any adjustment shall be deemed
a dispute within the purview of the clause hereof entitled “Disputes.”

 

6.                                       The
obligation of the Government to make any of the payments required by this
clause or any other provisions of this contract shall be subject to any
unsettled claims in connection with this contract which the Government may have
against the Contractor.

 

c.                                       Prior
to final settlement, the Contractor shall furnish a release as required in the
clause entitled “Allowable Cost and Payment” and account for Government-owned
property as may be required by the Contracting Officer: provided, however, that
unless the Contracting Officer requires an inventory, the maintenance and
disposition of the records of Government-owned property in accordance with the
clause entitled “Government Property-Cost Reimbursement, Time-and-Material, or
Labor Hour Contract” shall be accepted by the Contracting Officer as full
compliance with all requirements of this contract pertaining to an accounting
for such property.

2.                                       Selection
of participants.

 

The Contractor’s Laboratory Director, in
deciding what CRADA to enter into shall:

 

i.                                          Give
special consideration to small business firms, and consortia involving small
business firms;

 

ii.                                       Grant
U.S. preference in accordance with the licensing and assignment requirements of
Paragraph (a)(6) above;

 

iii.                                    Provide
Fairness of Opportunity in accordance with the requirements of Paragraph (a)(5) above;
and

 

iv.                                   Give
consideration to the Conflict of Interest requirements of Paragraph (a)(4) above.

 

3.                                       Withholding
of data.

 

i.                                          The
Contractor may provide for appropriate protection against dissemination of data
produced as a result of research and development activities conducted under the
CRADA, for a period of up to five (5) years from the time the data is
first produced. Such data must be data that would be a trade secret or
commercial or financial data that would be privileged or confidential, if such
data had been obtained from a non-Federal Third Party. Since such data is
exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information

 

108

 

Act, the DOE shall cooperate with the
Contractor in withholding such data.

 

ii.                                       Unless
otherwise expressly approved by the Contracting Officer in advance for a
specific CRADA, the Contractor agrees, at the request of the Contracting
Officer, to transmit such data to other DOE facilities for use by DOE or its
Contractors by or on behalf of the Government. Upon transmitting such data, the
Contractor shall clearly mark the data with a legend setting out the
restrictions against private use and further dissemination, along with the
expiration data of such restrictions.

 

iii.                                    In
addition to its authority to license Intellectual Property, the Contractor may
enter into licensing agreements with third parties for data developed by the Contractor
under a CRADA subject to other provisions of this Contract. However, the
Contractor shall neither use the protection against dissemination nor the
licensing of data as an alternative to obtaining patent protection of any
invention contained in such data.

 

4.                                       Work
for others and user facility programs.

 

i.                                          WFO
and User Facility Agreements (UFAs) are not considered CRADAs and will be
available for use by the Contractor in addition to CRADAs for achieving
utilization of employee expertise and unique facilities for maximizing
technology transfer. The Contractor agrees to inform prospective CRADA
participants, which are intending to substantially pay full cost recovery for
the effort under the CRADA, of WFO and UFA opportunities, including Class Waiver
provisions associated therewith.

 

ii.                                       Where
the Contractor believes that the transfer of technology to the U.S. domestic
economy will benefit from, or other equity considerations dictate, an
arrangement other than the Class Waiver of patent rights to the sponsor in
WFO and UFAs, a request may be made to the Contracting Officer for an exception
to the Class Waivers.

 

5.                                       Conflicts
of interest.

 

i.                                          Except
as provided in Subparagraph (iii) below, the Contractor shall assure that
no employee of the Contractor shall have a substantial role (including an
advisory role) in the preparation, negotiation, or approval of a CRADA, if, to
such employee’s knowledge:

 

A.                                   Such
employee, or the spouse, child, parent, sibling, or partner of such employee,
or an organization (other than the

 

109

 

Contractor) in which such employee serves as
an officer, director, trustee, partner, or employee;

 

1                                          Holds
financial interest in any entity, other than the Contractor, that has a
substantial interest in the preparation, negotiation, or approval of the CRADA;

 

2                                          Receives
a gift of gratuity from any entity, other than the Contractor, that has a
substantial interest in the preparation, negotiation, or approval of the CRADA;
or

 

B.                                     A
financial interest in any entity, other than the Contractor, that has a
substantial interest in the preparation, negotiation, or approval of the CRADA,
is held by any person or organization with whom such employee is negotiating or
has any arrangement concerning prospective employment.

 

ii.                                       The
Contractor shall require that each employee of the Contractor who has a
substantial role (including an advisory role) in the preparation, negotiation,
or approval of a CRADA certify to the Contracting Officer that the circumstances
described in Subparagraph (i) above do not apply to that employee.

 

iii.                                    The
requirements of Subparagraphs (1) and (ii) above shall not apply in a
case where an employee, described therein, advises through the Contractor the
Contracting Officer in advance of his or her participation in the preparation,
negotiation, or approval of a CRADA of the nature of and extent of any
financial interest described in Subparagraph (i), and the Contracting Officer
determines that such financial interest is not so substantial as to be
considered likely to affect the integrity of the Contractor employee’s
participation in the process of preparing, negotiating, or approving the
cooperative agreement.

 

c.                                       Technology
transfer in other cost sharing agreements.

 

In conducting research and development
activities in cost shared agreements not covered by Paragraph (b) above,
the Contractor, with written permission of the Contracting Officer, may provide
for the withholding of data produced thereunder in accordance with the applicable
provisions of Paragraph (b)(3) herein.

access to by, DOE or a third party, including a DOE Contractor or
subcontractor, and for technical data or computer software it first produces
under this Contract which is authorized to be marked by DOE, the contractor
shall treat such data in accordance with any restrictive legend contained
thereon.

 

Nothing contained in this clause shall imply
a license to the Government under any patent or be construed as affecting the
scope of any licenses or other rights otherwise granted to the Government under
any patent.

 

c.                                       Copyright
(General).

 

1.                                       The
Contractor agrees not to mark, register or otherwise assert a copyright in any
data in a published or unpublished work, other than as set forth in paragraphs (d) and
(e) below.

 

2.                                       Except
for material to which the Contractor has obtained the right to assert copyright
in accordance with either paragraph (d) or (e) hereof, the Contractor
agrees not to include in the data delivered under this Contract any material
copyrighted by the Contractor and not to knowingly include any material
copyrighted by others without first granting or obtaining at no cost a license
therein for the benefit of the Government of the same scope as set forth in
paragraph (d) below. If the Contractor believes that such copyrighted
material for which the license cannot be obtained must be included in the data
to be delivered, rather than merely incorporated therein by reference, the
Contractor shall obtain the written authorization of the Contracting Officer to
include such material in the data prior to its delivery.

 

d.                                      Copyrighted
works (scientific and technical articles).

 

1.                                       The
Contractor shall have the right to assert, without prior approval of the
Contracting Officer, copyright subsisting in scientific and technical articles
based on or containing data first produced in the performance of this Contract,
and published in academic, technical or professional journals, synopsis
proceedings or similar works. When assertion of copyright is made, the
Contractor shall affix the applicable copyright notice of 17 U.S.C. 401 or 402
and acknowledgement of Government sponsorship (including contract number) on
the data when such data are

 

113

 

delivered to the Government as well as when
the data are published or deposited for registration as a published work in the
U.S. Copyright Office. The contractor grants to the Government, and others
acting on its behalf, a paid-up, nonexclusive, irrevocable worldwide license in
such copyrighted data to reproduce, prepare derivative works, distribute copies
to the public, and perform publicly and display publicly, by or on behalf of
the Government.

 

e.                                       Copyrighted
works (other than scientific and technical articles).

 

1.                                       The
Contractor may obtain permission to assert copyright subsisting in technical
data and computer software first produced by the Contractor in performance of
this Contract, where the Contractor can show that commercialization would be
enhanced by such copyright protection, subject to the following:

 

i.                                          Contractor
Request to Assert Copyright.

 

A.                                   For
data other than scientific and technical articles, the Contractor shall submit
in writing to Patent Counsel its request to assert copyright in data first
produced in the performance of this Contract pursuant to this clause. Each
request by the Contractor to be complete must include: (1) the identity of
the data (including any computer program) for which the Contractor requests
permission to assert copyright, as well as an abstract which is descriptive of
the data and is suitable for dissemination purposes, (2) the program under
which it was funded, (3) whether the data is subject to an international
treaty or agreement, (4) whether the data is subject to export control, (5) a
statement that the Contractor plans to commercialize the data within five (5) years
of obtaining permission to assert copyright, and (6) for data other than
computer software, a statement explaining why the assertion of copyright is
necessary to enhance commercialization. For data that is developed using other
funding sources in addition to DOE funding, the permission to assert copyright
in accordance with this clause must also be obtained by the Contractor from all
other funding sources prior to the Contractor’s request to Patent Counsel. The
request shall include the contractor’s certification or other documentation
acceptable to the Patent Counsel demonstrating such permission has been
obtained.

 

B.                                     Permission
for the Contractor to assert copyright in excepted categories of data as
determined by DOE is expressly withheld. Such excepted categories include data

 

114

 

whose release (1) would be detrimental
to national security, i.e., involves classified information or data or
sensitive information under Section 148 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954,
as amended, or are subject to export control for nonproliferation and other
nuclear-related national security purposes, (2) would not enhance the
appropriate transfer or dissemination and commercialization of such data, (3) would
have a negative impact on U.S. industrial competitiveness, (4) would
prevent DOE from meeting its obligations under treaties and international
agreements, or (5) would be detrimental to one or more of DOE’s
programs.  Additional excepted categories
may be added by the Assistant General Counsel for Intellectual Property. Where
data are determined to be under an export control restriction, the Contractor
may still obtain permission to assert copyright in such restricted data for
purposes of limited commercialization within the constraints provided by the
export control statutes and regulations subject to the provisions of this
clause. However, notwithstanding any other provision of this Contract, all data
developed with Naval Reactors’ funding and those that are classified fall
within the above excepted categories and permission to assert copyright will
not be granted by DOE for those data. Additionally, the rights of the
Contractor in data are subject to the disposition of data rights in the
treaties and international agreements identified under this Contract as well as
those additional treaties and international agreements which DOE may from time
to time identify by unilateral amendment to the Contract; such amendment
listing added treaties and international agreements is effective only for data
which is developed after the date such treaty is added to this contract. Also,
the Contractor will not be permitted to assert copyright in data in the form of
various technical reports generated by the Contractor under the Contract
without first obtaining the advanced written permission of the Contracting
Officer.

 

ii.                                       DOE
Review and Response to Contractor’s Request.

 

A.                                   The
Patent Counsel shall use its best efforts to respond in writing within 90 days
of receipt of a complete request by the Contractor to assert copyright in
technical data and computer software pursuant to this clause. Such response
shall either give or withhold DOE’s permission for the Contractor to assert
copyright or advise the Contractor that DOE needs additional time to respond
and the reasons therefor.

 

115

 

iii.                                    Permission
for Contractor to Assert Copyright.

 

A.                                   For
computer software, the Contractor shall furnish to the contractor designated by
DOE to serve as the DOE centralized software distribution and control point, at
the time permission to assert copyright is given under (ii) above: (1) an
abstract describing the software suitable for publication, (2) the source
code for each software program, and (3) the object code and at least the
minimum support documentation needed by a technically competent user to
understand and use the software. The Patent Counsel, for good cause shown by
the Contractor, may allow the minimum support documentation to be delivered
within 60 days after permission to assert copyright is given or at such time
the minimum support documentation becomes available. The Contractor
acknowledges that the above-identified DOE-designated contractor may provide a
technical description of the software in an announcement identifying its
availability from the copyright holder.

 

B.                                     Unless
otherwise directed by the Contracting Officer, for data other than computer
software to which the Contractor has received permission to assert copyright
under paragraph (ii) above, the Contractor shall within (60) days of
obtaining such permission furnish to DOE’s Office of Scientific and Technical
Information (OSTI) a copy of such data as well as an abstract of the data
suitable for dissemination purposes. The Contractor acknowledges that OSTI may
provide an abstract of the data in an announcement to DOE, its contractors and
to the public identifying its availability from the copyright holder.

 

C.                                     For
a period of five (5) years beginning on the date the Contractor is given
permission to assert copyright in data, the Contractor grants to the
Government, and others acting on its behalf, a paid-up, nonexclusive,
irrevocable worldwide license in such copyrighted data to reproduce, prepare
derivative works, and perform publicly and display publicly, by or on behalf of
the Government.

 

D.                                    After
the five (5) year period set forth in (C) above, or if, prior to the
end of such period, the Contractor abandons commercialization activities
pertaining to the data to which the Contractor has been given permission to
assert copyright, the Contractor grants to the Government, and others acting on
its behalf, a paid-up, nonexclusive, irrevocable worldwide license in such
copyrighted data to

 

116

 

reproduce, distribute copies to the public,
prepare derivative works, perform publicly and display publicly, and to permit
others to do so.

 

E.                                      Whenever
the Contractor obtains permission to assert copyright in data, the Contractor
shall affix the applicable copyright notice of 17 U.S.C. 401 or 402 on the
copyrighted data and also an acknowledgement of the Government sponsorship and
license rights of paragraphs (C) and (D) above such action shall be
taken when the data are delivered to the Government, published, licensed, or
deposited for registration as a published work in the U.S. Copyright Office.
The acknowledgement of Government sponsorship and license rights shall be as
follows:

 

NOTICE: The Government is granted for itself
and others acting on its behalf a paid-up, nonexclusive, irrevocable worldwide
license in this data to reproduce, prepare derivative works, and perform
publicly and display publicly. Beginning five (5) years after (date
permission to assert copyright was obtained) the Government is granted for itself
and others acting on its behalf a paid-up, nonexclusive, irrevocable worldwide
license in this data to reproduce, prepare derivative works, distribute copies
to the public, perform publicly and display publicly, and to permit others to
do so. NEITHER THE UNITED STATES NOR THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY,
NOR ANY OF THEIR EMPLOYEES, MAKES ANY WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OR ASSUMES
ANY LEGAL LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, OR
USEFULNESS OF ANY INFORMATION, APPARATUS, PRODUCT, OR PROCESS DISCLOSED, OR
REPRESENTS THAT ITS USE WOULD NOT INFRINGE-PRIVATELY OWNED RIGHTS.

 

F.                                      With
respect to any data to which the Contractor has received permission to assert
copyright, the DOE has the right, during the 5-year period set forth in
subparagraph (e)(1)(i)(A) above, to request the Contractor to grant a
nonexclusive, partially exclusive or exclusive license in any field of use to a
responsible applicant(s) upon terms that are reasonable under the
circumstances, and if the Contractor refuses such request, to grant such
license itself, if the DOE determines that the Contractor has not made a
satisfactory demonstration that either it or its licensee(s) is actively

 

117

 

pursuing commercialization of the data as set
forth in subparagraph (e)(1)(i)(A) above. Before licensing under this
paragraph (F), DOE shall furnish the Contractor a written request for the
Contractor to grant the stated license, and the Contractor shall be allowed
thirty (30) days (or such longer period as may be authorized by the Contracting
Officer for good cause shown in writing by the Contractor) after such notice to
show cause why the license should not be granted. The Contractor shall have the
right to appeal the decision of the DOE to grant the stated license to the
Invention Licensing Appeal Board as set forth in 10 CFR 781.65 - “Appeals”.

 

G.                                     No
costs shall be allowable for maintenance of copyrighted data, primarily for the
benefit of the Contractor and/or a licensee and which exceeds DOE Program
needs, except as expressly provided in writing by the Contracting Officer. The
Contractor may use its net royalty income to effect such maintenance costs.

 

H.                                    At
any time the Contractor abandons commercialization activities for data for
which the Contractor has received permission to assert copyright in accordance
with this clause; it shall advise OSTI and Patent Counsel and upon request
assign the copyright to the Government so that the Government can distribute
the data to the public.

 

f.                                         Subcontracting.

 

1.                                       The
Contractor agrees to use a Rights in Data clause as directed by the Contracting
Officer in subcontracts having as a purpose the conduct of research,
development, and demonstration work and in subcontracts for supplies.

 

2.                                       It
is the responsibility of the Contractor to obtain from its subcontractors data
and rights therein, on behalf of the Government, necessary to fulfill the
Contractor’s obligations to the Government with respect to such data.  In the event of refusal by a subcontractor to
accept a clause affording the Government such rights, the Contractor shall:

 

i.                                          Promptly
submit written notice to the Contracting Officer setting forth reasons for the
subcontractor’s refusal and other pertinent information which may expedite
disposition of the matter; and

 

ii.                                       Not
proceed with the subcontract without the written authorization of the
Contracting Officer.

g.                                      Rights
in Limited Rights Data.

 

Except as may be otherwise specified in this
Contract as data which are not subject to this paragraph, the Contractor agrees
to and does hereby grant to the Government an irrevocable, nonexclusive paid-up
license and right to use by or for the Government, any limited rights data of
the Contractor specifically used in the performance of this Contract, provided,
however, that to the extent that any limited rights data when furnished or
delivered is specifically identified by the Contractor at the time of initial
delivery to the Government or a representative of the Government, such data
shall not be used within or outside the Government except as provided in the “Limited

52.232-25 PROMPT PAYMENT (SEP 1992)

 

Notwithstanding any other payment clause in
this contract, the Government will make invoice payments and contract financing
payments under the terms and conditions specified in this clause. Payment shall
be considered as being made on the day a check is dated or an electronic funds
transfer is made. Definitions of pertinent terms are set forth in 32.902. All
days referred to in this clause are calendar days, unless otherwise specified.
The term foreign vendor means an incorporated concern not incorporated in the
United States, or an unincorporated concern having its principal place of
business outside the United States.

 

a.                                       Invoice
Payments

 

1.                                       For
purposes of this clause, “invoice payment” means a Government disbursement of
monies to a Contractor under a contract or other authorization for supplies or
services accepted by the Government. This includes payments for partial
deliveries that have been accepted by the Government and final cost or fee
payments where amounts owed have been settled between the Government and the
Contractor.

 

2.                                       Except
as indicated in subparagraph (a)(3) and paragraph (c) of this clause,
the due date for making invoice payments by the designated payment office shall
be the later of the following two events:

 

i.                                          The
30th day after the designated billing office has received a proper invoice from
the Contractor.

 

ii.                                       The
30th day after Government’ acceptance of supplies delivered or services
performed by the Contractor. On a final invoice where the payment amount is
subject to contract settlement actions, acceptance shall

 

121

 

be deemed to have occurred on the effective
date of the contract settlement. However, if the designated billing office
fails to annotate the invoice with the actual date of receipt, the invoice
payment due date shall be deemed to be the 30th day after the date the
Contractor’s invoice is dated, provided a proper invoice is received and there
is no disagreement over quantity, quality, or Contractor compliance with
contract requirements.

 

3.                                       The
due date on contracts for meat, meat food products, or fish; contracts for
perishable agricultural commodities, contracts for dairy products, edible fats
or oils, and food products prepared from edible fats or oils, and contracts not
requiring submission of an invoice shall be as follows:

 

i.                                          The
due date for meat and meat food products, as defined in section 2(a) (3) of
the Packers and Stockyard Act of 1921 (7 U.S.C. 182 (3)) and further defined in
Pub. L. 98—181 to include any edible fresh or frozen poultry meat, any
perishable poultry meat food product, fresh eggs, and any perishable egg
product, will be as close as possible to, but not later than, the 7th day after
product delivery.

 

ii.                                       The
due date for fresh or frozen fish, as defined in section 204(3) of
the Fish and Seafood Act of 1986 (16 U.S.C. 4003(3)), will be as close as
possible to, but not later than, the-seventh day after product delivery.

 

iii.                                    The
due date for perishable agricultural commodities, as defined in Section 1(4) of
the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act of 1930 (7 U.S.C. 499a(44)), will
be as close as possible to, but not later than, the 10th day after product
delivery, unless another date is specified in the contract.

 

iv.                                   The
due date for dairy products, as defined in section 111(e) of the
Dairy Production Stabilization Act of 1983 (7 U.S.C. 4502(e)), edible fats or
oils, and food products prepared from edible fats or oils, will be as close as
possible to, but not later than, the 10th day after the date on which a proper
invoice has been received.

 

v.                                      If
the contract does not require submission of an invoice for payment (e.g.,
periodic lease payments), the due date will be as specified in the contract.

 

4.                                       An
invoice is the Contractor’s bill or written request for payment under the
contract for supplies delivered or services performed. An invoice shall be
prepared and submitted to the designated billing officer specified in the
contract. A proper invoice must include the items listed in subdivisions (a)(4)(i) through
(a)(4)(viii) of this clause.  If the
invoice does not comply with these requirements, then the contractor will be
notified of the defect within 7 days after receipt of the invoice at the
designated billing office (3 days for meat, meat food products, or fish, and 5
days for perishable agricultural commodities, edible fats or oils, and

 

122

 

food products prepared from edible fats or
oils. Untimely notification will be taken into account in the computation of
any interest penalty owed the Contractor in the manner described in
subparagraph (a)(6) of this clause.

 

i.                                          Name

number or other authorization for supplies delivered or services performed
(including order number and contract line item number).

 

iv.                                   Description,
quantity, unit of measure, unit price, and extended price of supplies delivered
or services performed.

 

v.                                      Shipping
and payment terms (e.g., shipment number and date of shipment, prompt payment
discount terms).  Bill of lading number
and weight of shipment will be shown for shipments on Government bills of
lading:

 

vi.                                   Name
and address of Contractor official to whom payment is to be sent (must be the
same as that in the contract or in a proper notice of assignment).

 

vii.                                Name
(where practicable), title, phone number and mailing address of person to be
notified in event of a defective invoice.

 

viii.                             Any
other information or documentation required by other requirements of the
contract (such as evidence of shipment).

 

5.                                       An
interest penalty shall be paid automatically by the Government, without request
from the contractor, if payment is not made by the due date and the conditions
listed in subdivisions (a) (5) (i) through (a) (5) (iii) of
this clause are met, if applicable. An interest penalty shall not be paid on
contracts awarded to foreign vendors outside the United States for work
performed outside the United States.

 

i.                                          A
proper invoice was received by the designated billing office.

 

ii.                                       A
receiving report or other Government documentation authorizing payment was processed
and there was no disagreement over quantity, quality, or contractor compliance
with any contract term or condition.

 

iii.                                    In
the case of a final invoice for any balance of funds due the Contractor for
supplies delivered or services performed, the amount was not subject to further
contract settlement actions between the Government and the Contractor.

 

6.                                       The
interest penalty shall be at the rate established by the Secretary of the
Treasury under section 12 of the Contract Disputes Act of 1978 (41 U.S.C.
611)

 

123

 

that is in effect on the day after the due
date, except where the interest penalty is prescribed by other government
authority. This rate is referred to as the “Renegotiation Board Interest Rate,”
and it is published in the Federal Register semiannually on or about January 1
and July 1. The interest penalty shall accrue daily on the invoice payment
amount approved by the Government. and be compounded in 30-day increments
inclusive from the first day after the due date through the payment date. That
is, interest accrued at the end of any 30-day period will be added to the
approved invoice payment amount and be subject to interest penalties if not
paid in the succeeding 30-day period. If the designated billing office failed
to notify the Contractor of a defective invoice within the periods prescribed
in subparagraph (a)(4) of this clause, then the due date on the corrected
invoice will be adjusted by subtracting the number of days taken beyond the prescribed
notification of defects period. Any interest penalty owed the Contractor will
be based on this adjusted due date. Adjustments will be made by the designated
payment office for errors in calculating interest penalties, if requested by
the Contractor.

 

i.                                          For
the sole purpose of computing an interest penalty that might be due the
contractor, Government acceptance shall be deemed to have occurred
constructively on the 7th day (unless otherwise specified in this contract)
after the contractor delivered the supplies or performed the services in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract, unless there is a
disagreement over quantity, quality, or contractor compliance with a contract
provision. In the event that actual acceptance occurs within the constructive
acceptance period, the determination of an interest penalty shall be based on
the actual date of acceptance.  The
constructive acceptance requirement does not, however, compel Government
officials to accept supplies or services, perform contract administration
functions, or make payment prior to fulfilling their responsibilities.

 

ii.                                       The
following periods of time will not be included in the determination of an
interest penalty:

 

A.                             The
period taken to notify the Contractor of defects in invoices submitted to the
Government, but this may not exceed 7 days (3 days for meat, meat food
products, or fish, and 5 days for perishable agricultural commodities, dairy
products, edible fat or oils, and food products prepared from edible fats or
oils).

 

B.                               The
period between the defects notice and resubmission of the corrected invoice by
the Contractor.

 

iii.                                    Interest
penalties will not continue to accrue after the filing of a claim for such
penalties under the clause at 52.233-1, Disputes, or for more than 1 year.
Interest penalties of less than 51.00 need not be paid.

 

124

 

iv.                                   Interest
penalties are not required on payment delays due to disagreement between the
Government and Contractor over the payment amount or other issues involving
contract compliance or on amounts temporarily withheld or retained in
accordance with the terms of the contract. Claims involving disputes, and any
interest that may be payable, will be resolved in accordance with the clause at
52.233-1, Disputes.

 

7.                                       An
interest penalty shall also be paid automatically by the designated payment
office, without request from the contractor, if a discount for prompt payment
is taken improperly. The interest penalty will be calculated as described in
subparagraph (a) (6) of this clause on the .amount of discount taken
for the period beginning with the first day after the end of the discount
period through the date when the contractor is paid.

 

8.                                       If
this contract was awarded on or after October 1, 1989, a penalty amount,
calculated in accordance with regulations issued by the Office of Management
and Budget, shall be paid in addition- to the interest penalty amount if the
contractor

 

i.                                          Is
owed an interest penalty;

 

ii.                                       Is
not paid the interest penalty within 10 days after the date the invoice amount
is paid; and

 

iii.                                    Makes
a written demand, not later than 40 days after the date the invoice amount is
paid, that the agency pay such a penalty.

 

b.                                      Contract
Financing Payments

 

1.                                       For
purposes of this clause, contract financing payment means a Government
disbursement of monies to a Contractor under a contract clause or other
authorization prior to acceptance of supplies or services by the Government.
Contract financing payments include advance payments, progress payments based
on cost under the clause at 52.232-16, Progress Payments, progress payments
based on a percentage or stage of completion (32.102(e)(1)) other than those
made under the clause at 52.232-5, Payments Under Fixed-Price Construction Contracts,
or the clause at 52.232-10, Payments Under Fixed-Price Architect-Engineer
Contracts, and interim payments on cost type contracts.

 

2.                                       For
contracts that provide for contract financing, requests for payment shall be
submitted to the designated billing office as specified in this contract or as
directed by the Contracting Officer. Contract financing payments shall be made
on the [insert day as prescribed by Agency head; if not prescribed, insert 30th
day] day after receipt of a proper contract financing request by the designated
billing office. In the event that an audit or other review of a specific
financing request is required to ensure compliance with the terms and
conditions of the contract, the designated payment office is not compelled to make
payment by the due date specified.

 

125

 

3.                                       For
advance payments, loans, or other arrangements that do not involve recurrent
submissions of contract financing requests, payment shall be made in accordance
with the corresponding contract terms or as directed by the Contracting
Officer.

 

4.                                       Contract
financing payments shall not be assessed an interest penalty for payment

contract contains the clause at 5.213-1, Fast Payment Procedure, payments will
be made within 15 days after the date of receipt of the invoice.
