SECTION C - DESCRIPTION / SPECIFICATIONS / STATEMENT OF WORK C.1 CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS The Contractor shall perform the research cutlined in its proposal dated May 11,.1999 which is hereby incorporated by reference. The Contractor shall deliver a phase-one research proposal detailing the Contractor's innovative ideas for developing an improved fire risk assessment (FRA) method for quantifying the frequency of potentially challenging fires in nuclear power plants. The improved method should result in the definition of fire scenarios applicable to a ;
given location in a plant, the frequency of such scenarios, and the ;
characteristics of such scenarios. The characteristics should be !
specified in terms that will support subsequent fire modeling, i.e.,
they will provide (at least in part) the initial conditions for ;
l models predict.ing the behavior of the fire following initiation.
The method should employ U.S. and world-wide nuclear plant historical fire event data, relevant data and/or other forms of technical information from other sources (e.g., non-nuclear
- industrial facilities), as appropriate. The method should include !
- an explicit quantification of uncertainties in results. Proposals !
for developing improved. methods will be expected to discuss how the l proposed methods will address both the component-based. approach to I fire freguency, employed in the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Fire-Induced Vulnerability Evaluation (FIVE) methodology, and event-based estimation of severity fractions.

NRC-04 .93-051 Section H SECT 3 C N H - SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS H.1 2052.209-73 CONTRACTOR ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST (a) Purpose. The primary purpose of this clause is to aid in ensuring that the contractor:
(1) Is not placed in a conflicting role because of current or planned interests (financial, contractual, organizational, or otherwise) which relate to the work under this contract; and (2) Does not obtain an unfair competitive advantage over other 1
parties by virtue of its performance of this contract.
(b) Scope. The restrictions described apply to performance or participation by the contractor, as defined in 48 CFR 2009.570- 2 in the activities covered by this clause.
(c) Work for others.
(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this contract, during the term of this contract.the contractor agrees to forgo entering into consulting or other contractual arrangements with any firm or ,
organization, the result of which may give rise to a conflict of {
interest with respect to the work being performed under this contract. The contractor shall ensure that all employees under this I contract abide by the provision of this clause. If the contractor l has reason to believe with respect to itself or any employee that j any proposed consultant or other contractual arrangement with any -
firm or organization may involve a potential conflict of interest, the contractor shall obtain the written approval of the contracting officer before the execution of such contractual arrangement.
(2) The contractor may not represent, assist, or otherwise support an NRC licensee or applicant undergoing an NRC audit, inspection, or review where the activities that are the subject of the audit, inspection or review are the same as or substantially similar to the services within the scope of this contract (or task order as appropriate), except where the NRC licensee or applicant requires the contractor's support to explain or defend the contractor's prior !
work for the utility or other entity which NRC questions.
i (3) When the' contractor performs work for the NRC under this contract at any NRC licensee or applicant site, the contractor shall neither solicit nor perform work in the same or similar technical area for that licensee'cn applicant organization for a period commencing with the award of the task order or beginning of work on the site (if.not a task order contract) and ending one year after completion of all work under the associated task order, or last time at the site (if not a task order contract).
H-1
NRC-04-99-051 Section H c
(4) When the contractor performs work for the NRC under this contract at any NRC licensee or applicant site, (i)'The contractor may not solicit work at that site for that licensee or applicant during the period of performance of the task order or the contract, as appropriate.
(11') The contractor may not perform work at that site for that licensee or applicant during the period of performance of the task order or the contract, as appropriate, and for one year thereafter.
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the contracting officer may authorize the contractor to solicit or perform this type of work (except work in the same or similar technical area) if the contracting officer determines that the' situation will not pose a potential for technical bias or unfair competitive advantage.
(d) Disclosure-after award.
(1) The contractor warrants that to the best of its knowledge and belief, and except as otherwise set forth in this contract, it does not have any organizational conflicts of interest as defined in 48 CFR 2009.570-2.
(2)LThe contractor agrees that, if after award, it discovers organizational conflicts of interest with respect to this contract, it shall make an immediate and full disclosure in writing to the contracting officer. This statement must include a description of the action which the contractor has taken or proposes to take to avoid or mitigate such conflicts. The NRC may, however, terminate the contract if termination is in the best interest of the government.
(3) It is recognized that the scope of work of a task-order- type contract necessarily encompasses a broad spectrum of activities.
Consequently, if.this is a task-order-type contract, the contracter agrees that it will disclose all proposed new work involving NRC licensees or applicants which comes within the scope of work of the underlying contract. Further, if this contract involves work at a licensee or applicant site, the contractor agrees to exercise diligence to discover and disclose any new work at that licensee or applicant site. This disclosure must be made before the submission of a bid or proposal to the utility or other regulated entity and -
must be received by the NRC at least 15 days before the proposed award ~date in any event, unless a written justification demonstrating urgency and due diligence to discover and disclose is provided by the contractor and approved by the contracting officer.
The disclosure must include the statement of work, the dollar value of the proposed contract, and any other documents that are needed to fully describe the proposed work for the regulated utility or other regulated entity. NRC may deny approval of the disclosed work only when the NRC has issued a task order which includes the technical area and, if site-specific, the site, or has plans to issue a task order which includes the technical area and, if site-specific, the
-site, or when the work violates paragraphs (c) (2) , (c) (3) or (c) (4)
NRC-04-99-051 Section H of this section.
(e) Access to and use of-information.
(1) If.in the. performance of this contract, the contractor obtains access to information, such as NRC plans, policies, reports, studies, financial plans, internal data protected by the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. Section 552a (1988)), or the Freedom of Information Act ~ (5 U.S.C. Section 552 (1986)), the contractor agrees not to:

l (3) Contractor's invoice. The contractor shall prepare and
! submit invoices to the designated billing office specified in the l contract. A proper invoice must include the items listed in l paragraph (a) (3) (i) through (a) (3 ) (viii) of this clause.

(viii)LAny other information or documentation required by the contract (such as evidence of shipment).
(ix) While not required, the Contractor is strongly encouraged to_ assign an identification number to each invoice.
(4) Interest penalty. An interest penalty shall be paid automatically by.the designated payment-office, without request from the Contractor, if payment is not made by the due date and the conditions listed in. paragraphs (a) (4) (i) through - (a) (4 ) (iii) of this clause.are met, if. applicable. However, when the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday when Federal Government ,

conducted, payment may be made on the following business day without incurring a late payment interest penalty.

. penalty is prescribed by other governmental authority (e.g. ,
tariffs). 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 principal payment amount approved by the Government until the payment date of such approved principal amount; and will 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 amount and will be subject to the approved invoice principal payment 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) (3) of this clause, the due date on the corrected invoice will be adjusted by subtracting from such date the number of days taken l
beyond the prescribed notification of defects period. Any interest penalty owed the Contractor will be based on this adjusted due date.

i f
(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 (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 :
l penalty shall be based on the actual date of acceptance. The -
i constructive acceptance requirement does not, however, compel l
Government officials to accept supplies or services, perform contract administration functions, or make payment prior to fulfilling their responsibilities.
l (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

! (3 days for meat, meat food products, or fish; 5 days for perishable agricultural commodities, dairy products, edible fats 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.
(C) For incorrect electronic funds transfer (EFT) information,-in accordance with the EFT clause of this contract.

$1 need not be paid.
(iv) Interest penalties are not required on payment delays due to disagreement between the Government and the 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.
(6) Prompt payment discounts. An interest penalty also shall 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) (5) 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.
(7) - Additional interest penalty. (i) a penalty amount, calculated in accordance with paragraph (a) (7) (iii) of this clause, shall be paid in addition to the interest penalty amount if the I-5

(B) Demands must be postmarked on or before the 40th day after payment was made, except that--
(i) If the postmark is illegible or nonexistent, the demand must have been received and annotated with the date of receipt by the designated payment office on or before the 40th day after payment was made; or (2) If the postmark is illegible or nonexistent and the designated payment office fails to make the required annotation, the demand's validity will be determined by the date the contractor has placed on the demand; provided such date is no later than the 40th day after payment was made.
(iii) (A) The additional penalty shall be equal to 100 percent of any original late payment interest penalty, except--
(1) The additional penalty shall not exceed $5,000; (2) The additional penalty shall never be less than $25; and (3) No "iitional penalty is owed if the amount of the underlying trest penalty is less than $1.
(E the interest penalty ceases to accrue in accordance with the 12 s stated in paragraph (a) (5) (iii) of this clause, the amount of tue additional penalty shall be calculated on the amount of interest penalty that would have accrued in the absence of these limits, subject to the overall limits on the additional penalty I-6 i
NRC-U4-99-051 Section I specified in paragraph (a) (7) (iii) (A) of - '.s clause.
(C) For determining the maximum and minimum additional penalties, the test shall be the interest penalty due on each separate payment made for each separate contract.
