Section H - Special Requirements

5252.217-9107 GROWTH AND NEW WORK (SEP 1990) [Modified by Buyer]

1. It is the Government’s intention to ensure that, where it is determined that the Contract Work will be performed by the private sector, any growth or new work identified during the overhaul will be awarded to Buyer and its subcontractors including Seller only if a fair and reasonable price can be negotiated for such work. If a fair and reasonable price cannot be negotiated for the above actions, the Government may, at its election, pursue any or all of the following course of action: (1) defer the Contract Work to a repair period after completion of the instant Contract; (2) accomplish the Contract Work using Government employees during the original overhaul period. (Government employees may engage in and complete the assigned work while the ship is undergoing overhaul in the initial prime contractor’s facility pursuant to the “ACCESS TO VESSEL” clause (DFARS 252.217-7011)); and/or (3) conduct a separate, competitive procurement for growth or new work. Performance will be during the original overhaul period. Buyer and other Master Ship Repair Agreement (MSRA) holders may enter this competition. If other than Buyer is successful, the successful contractor may engage in and complete the work while the ship is undergoing overhaul in Buyer’s Facility pursuant to the “ACCESS TO VESSEL” clause.
   
2. Seller shall include in its proposed price the cost of supporting one or more third parties (including Government employees and/or other contractors’ workers) at the overhaul site in performance of growth and/or new work, should the Government elect to pursue such a course. Increased costs that may result from third party presence as described above, may include, but are not limited to: insurance; physical plant security; reasonable access for third party workers who must transit Seller’s facility or any other work site provided by the overhaul; and similar requirements. Third party presence will occur only if the prime ship repair contractor proposes other than a fair and reasonable price. Seller shall price anticipated added expenses associated with third party presence as a contingency into the fixed price offered for performance of the specified work package. Seller shall be guided in arriving at this contingency price based on a risk assessment relative to the probability of proposing fair and reasonable prices versus reaching a potential impasse with the Government which would precipitate third party presence.
   
3. This requirement does not preclude the Government from using Government employees to perform new or growth work at any time during the availability provided the use of Government employees is in the best interest of the Government.

5252.223-9114 MANAGEMENT AND DISPOSAL OF HAZARDOUS WASTE (NOV 1996) [Modified by Buyer]

1. GENERAL
   
   1. Seller shall comply with all applicable Federal, State and local laws, codes, ordinances and regulations for the management and disposal of hazardous waste.
      
   2. Nothing contained in this requirement shall relieve Seller from complying with applicable Federal, State, and local Laws, codes, ordinances, and regulations, including obtaining licenses and permits, giving notices and submitting reports, in connection with hazardous waste management and disposal in the performance of this Contract. Nothing contained herein shall serve to alter either party's liability or responsibility under applicable federal, state and local laws, codes and ordinances.
      
   3. Materials contained in ship systems are not waste until after removal from the system.
      
2. IDENTIFICATION OF HAZARDOUS WASTES. Standard Work Template 077-11-001 (to be provided by Buyer) identifies the types and amounts of hazardous wastes that are required to be removed by Seller pursuant to applicable law, or that are expected to be generated, during the performance of Contract Work under this Contract.
   
3. GENERATOR IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS
   
   1. Documentation related to hazardous waste generated solely by the physical actions of ship's force or Navy employees on board the Vessel shall only bear a generator identification number issued to the Navy pursuant to applicable law.
      
   2. Documentation related to hazardous waste generated solely by the physical actions of Seller’s personnel shall only bear a generator identification number issued to Seller pursuant to applicable law. Regardless of the presence of other materials in or on the shipboard systems or structures which may have qualified a waste stream as hazardous, where Seller performs Contract Work on a system or structure using materials (whether or not the use of such materials was specified by the Navy) which by themselves would cause the waste from such work to be a hazardous waste, documentation related to such waste shall only bear a generator identification number issued to Seller.
      
   3. Documentation related to hazardous waste generated by the combined physical actions of Navy and Seller’s personnel shall bear a generator identification number issued to Seller pursuant to applicable law and shall also cite in the remarks block a generator identification number issued to the Navy pursuant to applicable law.
      
   4. Notwithstanding paragraphs (c)(1) - (c)(3) above, hazardous wastes are considered to be co-generated in cases where: (a) Seller merely drains a system and such drainage creates hazardous waste or (b) Seller performs Contract Work on a system or structure using materials which by themselves would not cause the waste from such work to be hazardous waste but such work nonetheless creates a hazardous waste. Documentation related to such co-generated waste shall bear a generator identification number in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (c)(3) above.
      
   5. In the event of a failure by the parties to agree to the assignment of a generator identification number to any hazardous waste as set forth in paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(4) above, the Government may direct which party or parties shall provide generator identification numbers for the waste and such number(s) shall be used on all required documentation. Any disagreement with this direction shall be a dispute within the meaning of clause of this Contract entitled “DISPUTES” (FAR 52.233-1). However, Seller shall not stop any work but shall continue with performance of all Contract Work under this Contract as specified in the “DISPUTES” clause.
      
   6. Hazardous Waste Manifests. For wastes described in (c)(2), (c)(3), and (c)(4) above (and (c)(5) as applicable), Seller shall sign the generator certification whenever use of the Manifest is required for disposal. Seller shall obtain concurrence with the categorization of the wastes under paragraphs (c)(3) and (c)(4) above before completion of the manifest. Manifests prepared pursuant to paragraph (c)(1) above shall be presented to Buyer or Southwest Regional Maintenance Center (SWRMC) for completion after the hazardous waste has been identified.
      
   7. For purposes of paragraphs (c)(2) and (3) herein, if Seller, while performing work at a Government facility, cannot obtain a separate generator identification number from the Country or U.S. State in which the availability will be performed, Seller shall notify Buyer or SWRMC (as applicable) within 3 business days of receipt of written notification by the Country or U.S. State.
      
   8. After obtaining approval from either the Buyer or SWRMC (as applicable), Seller shall use the Navy generator identification number and insert in the remarks block Seller generator identification number issued for the approved site. For purposes of paragraph (c)(1) herein, if the Contract Work is being performed at the non-Government facility and the Government cannot obtain a separate generator identification number from the Country or U.S. State, the Government shall use Seller generator identification number and shall cite in the remarks block a Navy generator identification number. In both instances described above, Seller shall prepare the Manifest described in paragraph (c)(6) above and present it to Buyer or SWRMC (as applicable) for completion.

5252.227-9113 GOVERNMENT-INDUSTRY DATA EXCHANGE PROGRAM (APR 2015) [Modified by Buyer]

1. Seller shall participate in the appropriate interchange of the Government-Industry Data Exchange Program (“GIDEP”) in accordance with GIDEP PUBLICATION 1 dated April 2008. Data entered is retained by the program and provided to qualified participants. Compliance with this requirement shall not relieve Seller from complying with any other requirement of the Contract.
   
2. Seller agrees to insert paragraph (a) of this requirement in any subcontract hereunder exceeding $500,000.00. When so inserted, the word “Seller” shall be changed to “Subcontractor”.
3. GIDEP materials, software and information are available without charge from: GIDEP, P.O. Box 8000, Corona, CA 92878-8000, Phone: (951) 898-3207, FAX: (951) 898-3250, Internet: http://www.gidep.org

5252.233-9103 DOCUMENTATION OF REQUESTS FOR EQUITABLE ADJUSTMENT (APR 1999) [Modified by Buyer]

1. For the purposes of this special requirement, the term “change” includes not only a change that is made pursuant to a written order designated as a “change order” but also (1) an engineering change proposed by the Government or by Buyer or Seller; and (2) any act or omission to act on the part of the Government in respect of which a request is made for equitable adjustment.
   
2. Whenever Seller requests or proposes an equitable adjustment of $100,000 or more per Vessel in respect to a change made pursuant to a written order designated as a “change order” or in respect to a proposed engineering change and whenever Seller requests an equitable adjustment in any amount in respect to any other act or omission to act on the part of the Government, the proposal supporting such request shall contain the following information for each individual item or element of the request: (1) A description (i) of the work required by the Contract before the change, which has been deleted by the change, and (ii) of the work deleted by the change which already has been completed. The description is to include a list of components, equipment, and other identifiable property involved. Also, the status of manufacture, procurement, or installation of such property is to be indicated. Separate description is to be furnished for design and production work. Items of raw material, purchased parts, components and other identifiable hardware, which are made excess by the change and which are not to be retained by Seller, are to be listed for later disposition; (2) Description of work necessary to undo work already completed which has been deleted by the change; (3) Description of work not required by the terms hereof before the change, which is substituted or added by the change. A list of components and equipment (not bulk materials or items) involved should be included. Separate descriptions are to be furnished for design work and production work; (4) Description of interference and inefficiencies in performing the change; (5) Description of each element of disruption and exactly how work has been, or will be disrupted: (i) The calendar period of time during which disruption occurred, or will occur; (ii) Area(s) aboard the Vessel where disruption occurred, or will occur; (iii) Trade(s) disrupted, with a breakdown of man-hours for each trade; (iv) Scheduling of trades before, during, and after period of disruption; (v) Description of measures taken to lessen the disruptive effect of the change; (6) Delay in delivery attributable solely to the change; (7) Other work attributable to the change; (8) Supplementing the foregoing, a narrative statement of the direct “causal” relationship between any alleged Government act or omission and the associated claimed consequences, cross referenced to the detailed information provided as required above; and (9) A statement setting forth a comparative enumeration of the amounts “budgeted” for the cost elements, including the material costs, labor hours and pertinent indirect costs, estimated by Seller in preparing its initial and ultimate proposal(s) for this Contract, and the amounts claimed to have been incurred and/or projected to be incurred corresponding to each such “budgeted cost” elements.
   
3. Each proposal in excess of $100,000 submitted in support of a claim for equitable adjustment under any requirement of this Contract shall, in addition to the information required by paragraph (b) hereof, contain such information as Buyer and the Contracting Officer may require with respect to each individual claim item.
   
4. It is recognized that individual claims for equitable adjustment may not include all of the factors listed in paragraph (b) above. Accordingly, Seller is required to set forth in its proposal information only with respect to those factors which are comprehended in the individual claim for equitable adjustment. In any event, the information furnished hereunder shall be in sufficient detail to permit Buyer and the Contracting Officer to cross-reference the claimed increased costs, or delay in delivery, or both, as appropriate, submitted pursuant to paragraph (c) of this requirement, with the information submitted pursuant to paragraph (b) hereof.

5252.233 9107 EQUITABLE ADJUSTMENTS: WAIVER AND RELEASE OF CLAIMS (AT) (JAN 1983) [Modified by Buyer]

1. Whenever Seller, after receipt of a change made pursuant to the clause of this Contract entitled “CHANGES” or after affirmation of a constructive change under the “NOTIFICATION OF CHANGES” (FAR 52.243-7) requirement, submits any claim for equitable adjustment under the foregoing, such claim shall include all types of adjustments in the total amounts to which the foregoing entitle Seller, including but not limited to adjustments arising out of delays or disruptions or both caused by such change.
   
2. Further, Seller agrees (except as the parties may otherwise agree) that, if required by Buyer and/or the Government’s Contracting Officer, it will execute a release, in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer and/or the Government’s Contracting Officer, as part of the supplemental agreement setting forth the aforesaid equitable adjustment, and that such release shall discharge Buyer and the Government, its officers, agents and employees, from any further claims including but not limited to further claims arising out of delays or disruptions or both, caused by the aforesaid change.

5252.243 9113 OTHER CHANGE PROPOSALS (CT) (JAN 1990) [Modified by Buyer]

1. In addition to proposing engineering changes pursuant to other requirements of this Contract, and in addition to issuing changes pursuant to the clause of this Contract entitled “CHANGES”, Buyer may propose other changes within the general scope of this Contract as set forth below. Within 45 days from the date of receipt of any such proposed change, or within such further time as Buyer may allow, Seller shall submit the proposed scope of Contract Work, plans and sketches, and its estimate of: (A) the cost, (B) the weight and moment effect, (C) effect on delivery dates of the Vessel(s), and (D) status of Contract Work on the Vessels affected by the proposed change. The proposed scope of work and estimate of cost shall be in such form and supported by such reasonably detailed information as Buyer may require.

3. In the event that a change proposed by Buyer’s Procurement Representative is not incorporated into the Contract, the work done by Seller in preparing the estimate in accordance with subparagraph (a) above shall be treated as if ordered by Buyer under the “CHANGES” clause. Seller shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment in the Contract cost and fee for the effort required under subparagraph (a), but Seller shall not be entitled to any adjustment in delivery date.
