FAR Clauses Incorporated By Full Text 52.211-8 TIME OF DELIVERY. (JUN 1997)

(a) The Government requires delivery to be made according to the following schedule:

DO/TO NNG15SD90B/31310019F0025 Page 6 of 14 Required Delivery Schedule Item No.

Quantity Within Days After Date of Contract 1

3 Within 30 Days After Date of Contract 2

3 Within 30 Days After Date of Contract The Government will evaluate equally, as regards time of delivery, offers that propose delivery of each quantity within the applicable delivery period specified above. Offers that propose delivery that will not clearly fall within the applicable required delivery period specified above, will be considered nonresponsive and rejected. The Government reserves the right to award under either the required delivery schedule or the proposed delivery schedule, when an offeror offers an earlier delivery schedule than required above. If the offeror proposes no other delivery schedule, the required delivery schedule above will apply.

Offeror's Proposed Delivery Schedule Item No.

Quantity Within Days After Date of Contract (b) Attention is directed to the Contract Award provision of the solicitation that provides that a written award or acceptance of offer mailed, or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror, results in a binding contract. The Government will mail or otherwise furnish to the offeror an award or notice of award not later than the day award is dated. Therefore, the offeror should compute the time available for performance beginning with the actual date of award, rather than the date the written notice of award is received from the Contracting Officer through the ordinary mails. However, the Government will evaluate an offer that proposes delivery based on the Contractor's date of receipt of the contract or notice of award by adding (1) five calendar days for delivery of the award through the ordinary mails, or (2) one working day if the solicitation states that the contract or notice of award will be transmitted electronically. (The term working day excludes weekends and U.S. Federal holidays.) If, as so computed, the offered delivery date is later than the required delivery date, the offer will be considered nonresponsive and rejected.

(b) If the Government terminates this contract in whole or in part under the Default - Fixed-Price Supply and Service clause, the Contractor is liable for liquidated damages accruing until the Government reasonably obtains delivery or performance of similar supplies or services. These liquidated damages are in addition to excess costs of repurchase under the Termination clause.

(c) The Contractor will not be charged with liquidated damages when the delay in delivery or performance is beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor as defined in the Default - Fixed-Price Supply and Service clause in this contract.

(End of clause) 52.217-6 OPTION FOR INCREASED QUANTITY. (MAR 1989)

The Government may increase the quantity of supplies called for in the Schedule at the unit price specified. The Contracting Officer may exercise the option by written notice to the Contractor at any time prior to contract expiration.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 508 OF THE REHABILITATION ACT OF 1973, AS AMENDED (SEP 2013)

In 1998, Congress amended the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. §794d) as amended by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (P.L. 105 - 220), August 7, 1998 to require Federal agencies to make their electronic and information technology (EIT) accessible to people with disabilities. Inaccessible technology interferes with an ability to obtain and use information quickly and easily. Section 508 was enacted to eliminate barriers in information technology, open new opportunities for people with disabilities, and encourage development of technologies that will help achieve these goals. The law applies to all Federal agencies when they develop, procure, maintain, or use electronic and information technology. Under Section 508 (29 U.S.C. §794d), agencies must give disabled employees and members of the public access to information that is comparable to access available to others.

Specifically, Section 508 of that Act requires that when Federal agencies develop, procure, maintain, or use EIT, Federal employees with disabilities have access to and use of information and data that is comparable to the access and use by Federal employees who are not individuals with disabilities, unless an undue burden would be imposed on the agency. (36 C.F.R. §1194 implements Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and is viewable at: http://www.access-board.gov/sec508/standards.htm)

Exceptions.

All EIT that the government acquires by purchase or by lease/rental under this contract must meet the applicable accessibility standards at 36 C.F.R. Part 1194, unless one or more of the following exceptions at FAR 39.204 applies to this acquisition (applicable if checked):

DO/TO NNG15SD90B/31310019F0025 Page 10 of 14

[ ] The EIT is for a national security system.

[ ] The EIT is acquired by a contractor incidental to a contract.

[ ] The EIT is located in spaces frequented only by service personnel for maintenance, repair or occasional monitoring of equipment.

[ ] Compliance with the applicable 36 C.F.R. Part 1194 provisions would impose an undue burden on the agency.

Applicable Standards.

The following accessibility standards from 36 C.F.R. Part 1194 have been determined to be applicable to this contract/order. See www.section508.gov for more information:

[ ] 1194.21 Software applications and operating systems.

[ ] 1194.22 Web-based intranet and internet information and applications. 16 rules.

[ ] 1194.23 Telecommunications products.

[ ] 1194.24 Video and multimedia products.

[ ] 1194.25 Self contained, closed products.

[ ] 1194.26 Desktop and portable computers.

[ ] 1194.31 Functional performance criteria.

[ ] 1194.41 Information, documentation, and support.

Note: Under the Exceptions paragraph, the Contracting Officer should check the boxes for any exceptions that apply. If no exceptions apply, then the Contracting Officer should, under the Applicable Standards paragraph, check the boxes that indicate which of the standards apply. See FAR Subpart 39.2 and www.section508.gov for additional guidance.

(End of Clause)

AWARD NOTIFICATION AND COMMITMENT OF PUBLIC FUNDS It is brought to your attention that the contracting officer is the only individual who can legally obligate funds or commit the NRC to the expenditure of public funds in connection with this procurement. This means that unless provided in a contract document or specifically authorized by the contracting officer, NRC technical personnel may not issue contract modifications, give formal contractual commitments, or otherwise bind, commit, or obligate the NRC contractually. Informal unauthorized commitments, which do not obligate the NRC and do not entitle the contractor to payment, may include:

(1) Encouraging a potential contractor to incur costs prior to receiving a contract;

DO/TO NNG15SD90B/31310019F0025 Page 11 of 14 (2) Requesting or requiring a contractor to make changes under a contract without formal contract modifications; (3) Encouraging a contractor to incur costs under a cost-reimbursable contract in excess of those costs contractually allowable; and (4) Committing the Government to a course of action with regard to a potential contract, contract change, claim, or dispute.

(End of Clause)

USE OF AUTOMATED CLEARING HOUSE (ACH) ELECTRONIC PAYMENT/REMITTANCE ADDRESS The Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 requires that all Federal payments except IRS tax refunds be made by Electronic Funds Transfer. lt is the policy of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to pay government vendors by the Automated Clearing House (ACH) electronic funds transfer payment system. Item 15C of the Standard Form 33 may be disregarded.
