3.6 TERMINATION FOR DEFAULT
A. The Buyer may, subject to paragraphs 3.6-C and 3.6-D below, by written
notice of default to the Contractor, terminate this contract in whole or
in part if the Contractor fails to

specified in this contract or any extension;
2. Make progress, so as to endanger performance of this contract; or
3. Perform any of the other provisions of this contract.
B. The Buyer's right to terminate this contract under subdivisions 1. and 2.

of the notice from Buyer specifying the failure.
C. If Buyer terminates this Contract in whole or in part, it may acquire,
under the terms and in the manner Buyer considers appropriate, supplies or
services similar to those terminated, and the Contractor will be liable to
Buyer for any excess costs for those supplies or services. However, the
Contractor shall continue the work not terminated.
D. Except for defaults of subcontractors at any tier, the Contractor shall
not be liable for any excess costs if the failure to perform the contract
arises from causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence
of the Contractor. Examples of such causes include (1) acts of God or of
the public enemy, (2) acts of the Government in either its sovereign or
contractual capacity, (3) fires, (4) floods, (5) epidemics, (6) quarantine
restrictions, (7) strikes, (8) freight embargoes, and (9) unusually severe

any tier, and if the cause of the default is beyond the control of both
the Contractor and subcontractor, and without the fault or negligence of
either, the Contractor shall not be liable for any excess costs for
failure to perform, unless the subcontracted supplies or services were
obtainable from other sources in sufficient time for the Contractor to
meet the required delivery schedule.
F. If this contract is terminated for default, Buyer may require the
Contractor to transfer title and deliver to the Government, as directed by
Buyer, any (1) completed supplies, and (2) partially completed supplies
and materials, parts, tools, dies, jigs, fixtures, plans, drawings,
information, and contract rights (collectively referred to as
"manufacturing materials" in this clause) that the Contractor has
specifically produced or acquired for the terminated portion of this
contract. Upon direction of Buyer, the contractor shall also protect and
preserve property in its possession in which the Government has an
interest.
G. The Government shall pay contract price for completed supplies delivered
and accepted. The Contractor and Buyer shall agree on the amount of
payment for manufacturing materials delivered and accepted and for the
protection and preservation of the property. Failure to agree will be a
dispute under the Disputes clause. Buyer may withhold from these amounts
any sum Buyer determines to be necessary to protect Buyer and the
Government against loss because of outstanding liens or claims of former
lien holders.
H. If, after termination, it is determined that the Contractor was not in
default, or that the default was excusable, the rights and obligations of
the parties shall be the same as if the termination had been issued for

by Contractor.

Buyer reserves the right to question and/or require Contractor to certify and/or
furnish proof regarding the quality, authenticity, application or fitness for

furnished as part of this Contract and which have been previously found by
Buyer, the Department of Energy, or the Department of Commerce to be counterfeit

without more proof, to be subject to the above requirement of further proof or
certification. Buyer also reserves the right to question the circumstances and
make available a report of any such review to the Government. All costs
associated with conducting inquiries into and reporting on fasteners and
components determined to be counterfeit shall be recovered by Buyer from
Contractor.

4.1 REPORTING AND COORDINATION
A. During the performance of Work, Contractor shall submit to Buyer periodic
progress reports on the actual progress and updated schedules as may be
required by this Contract or requested by Buyer. In the event Contractor's
performance of the Work is not in compliance with the schedule established
for such performance, Buyer may, in writing, require the Contractor to
submit its plan for schedule recovery, or specify in writing the steps to
be taken to achieve compliance with such schedule, and/or exercise any
other remedies under this Contract. Contractor shall thereupon take such
steps as may be directed by Buyer or otherwise necessary to improve its
progress without additional cost to Buyer.
B. Contractor recognizes that Buyer, the Government, other Contractors and
subcontractors may be working concurrently at the jobsite. Contractor
agrees to cooperate with Buyer, the Government and other Contractors and
subcontractors so that the project as a whole will progress with a minimum
of delays. Buyer reserves the right to direct Contractor to schedule the
order of performance of its Work in such manner as not to interfere with
the performance of others.
C. If any part of Contractor's Work is dependent upon the quality and/or
completeness of work performed under another Contract, Contractor shall
inspect such other work and promptly report to Buyer any defects therein
which render such work unsuitable for the proper execution of the Work
under this Contract. Failure to make such inspections or to report any
such defects to Buyer shall constitute Contractor's acceptance of such
other work as suitable to receive Contractor's Work; provided however,
that Contractor shall not be responsible for defects that could not have
reasonably been detected.
4.2 OVERTIME
Unless expressly stated elsewhere in this Contract, Work at the jobsites shall
be compatible with Buyer's starting and quitting times, or other times approved
by Buyer. Buyer must approve scheduled overtime work by Contractor in advance
and in writing. Contractor shall notify Buyer in advance of any incidental spot
overtime that Contractor elects to work due to such operations as concrete
placement, nondisruptable work activities and emergencies to protect life and/or
property. Overtime work, whether scheduled or incidental, shall be to
Contractor's account unless the compensation therefore is specifically
authorized in writing by Buyer. In the event Buyer approves compensation of
Contractor's overtime in advance, such compensation as separately authorized
shall be limited to the actual cost to Contractor of the premium portion only of
all applicable wages, craft fringe benefits, and payroll burdens imposed by any
governmental authority and measured by the compensation payable to employees. To
establish the amount of payment, Contractor shall submit supporting documents
satisfactory in form and content to Buyer for its verification and approval.
Page 7 of 29
Fluor Hanford Provision General Provisions
4.3 DELAYS
A. In the event Contractor or Buyer is delayed in performing any of their
respective obligations in this Contract and such delay is caused by acts
of God, war, riots, civil insurrection, acts of the public enemy,
accidents, acts of civil or military authority, fires, floods, or
earthquakes, beyond the reasonable control of the party delayed, such
delay will be excused and the period of such delay will be added to the
time for performance of the obligation delayed, unless the date, schedule
or time period for performance of the obligation is expressly stated in
this Contract to be guaranteed. In the event any delay due to the
foregoing causes or events occurs or is anticipated, the party delayed or
anticipating delay shall promptly notify the other party in writing of
such delay or expected delay and the cause and estimated duration of such
delay. In the event of a delay due to the foregoing causes or events, the
party delayed shall, at no cost to the other party, exercise due diligence
to shorten and avoid the delay and shall keep the other party advised as
to the continuance of the delay and steps taken to shorten or terminate
the delay.
B. Contractor shall, within five (5) working days of the commencement of any
delay, give to Buyer written notice thereof and of the anticipated effects
thereof. Within two (2) working days of the termination of any delay,
Contractor shall file a written notice with Buyer specifying the actual
duration of the delay. If Buyer determines that a delay was beyond the
control and without the fault or negligence of Contractor, Buyer shall
determine the duration of the delay and shall extend the time of
performance of this Contract thereby.
C. Contractor shall not be entitled to, and hereby expressly waives recovery
of, any damages suffered by reason of delays of any nature, and extension
of time shall constitute the sole liability of Buyer and Contractor's sole
remedy for delays.
4.4 POSSESSION PRIOR TO COMPLETION
Buyer and/or the Government shall have the right to move into Contractor's
working and storage areas and the right to take possession of or use any
completed or partially completed part of Contractor's Work as Buyer or the
Government deem necessary for their operations. In the event Buyer or the
Government desires to exercise the foregoing right, Buyer will so notify
Contractor in writing. Such possession or use shall not constitute acceptance of
Contractor's Work.
4.5 NOTICE OF COMPLETION AND FINAL ACCEPTANCE
A. When Contractor deems the Work fully completed, including satisfactory
completion of such inspections, tests and documentation as are specified
in this Contract, Contractor shall, within ten (10) working days
thereafter, give a written Notice of Completion of the Work to Buyer,
specifying the Work completed and the date it was completed. Within thirty
(30) calendar days after receipt of said Notice of Completion, Buyer may
inspect the Work and shall either reject the Notice of Completion and
specify defective or uncompleted portions of the Work, or shall give the
Contractor a written Notice of Acceptance of the Work either for the
purpose of final payment only, or for the purposes of final payment and
final acceptance.
B. In the event Buyer rejects the Notice of Completion and specifies
defective or uncompleted portions of the Work, Contractor shall within
five (5) working days, provide for Buyer review and approval, a schedule
detailing when all defects will be corrected and/or the work will be
completed and shall proceed to remedy such defective and uncompleted
portions of the Work. Thereafter, Contractor shall again give Buyer a
written Notice of Completion of the Work, specifying a new date for the
completion of the Work based upon the date such defective or uncompleted
portions of the Work were corrected. The foregoing procedure shall apply
again and successively thereafter until Buyer has given Contractor written
Notice of Acceptance for purposes of final payment and final acceptance.
C. Any failure by Buyer to inspect or to reject the Work or to reject
Contractor's Notice of Completion as set forth above, shall not be deemed
to be acceptance of the Work for any purpose by Buyer nor imply acceptance
of, or agreement with, said Notice of Completion.
5.0 WORK CHANGES
Page 8 of 29
Fluor Hanford Provision General Provisions
5.1 CHANGES
A. The Scope of Work shall be subject to change by additions, deletions or
revisions thereto by Buyer. Contractor will be notified of such changes by
receipt of additional and/or revised drawings, specifications, exhibits or
other written notification.
B. Contractor shall submit to Buyer within ten (10) working days after
receipt of notice of a change, a detailed takeoff with supporting
calculations and pricing for the change together with any requested
adjustments in the schedule. The pricing shall be itemized as required by
Buyer and shall be in sufficient detail to permit an analysis of all
labor, material and equipment and shall cover all work involved in the
change, whether such work was deleted, added or modified. Amounts related
to subcontracts shall be supported in similar detail. In addition, if the
proposal includes a time extension, justification therefore shall also be
furnished.
C. Contractor shall not perform changes in the Work in accordance with
subparagraph 5.1-1 and 5.1-2 until Buyer has approved in writing the
pricing for the change and any adjustment in the schedule for performance
of the Work, except as set forth in subparagraph 5.1-4. Upon receiving
such written approval from Buyer, Contractor shall diligently perform the
change in strict accordance with this Contract.
D. Notwithstanding subparagraph 5.1-3 Buyer may expressly authorize
Contractor in writing to perform the change prior to such approval by
Buyer. Contractor shall not suspend performance of this Contract during
the review and negotiation of any change, except as may be directed by
Buyer pursuant to clause 5.2, "Suspension of Work." In the event Buyer and
Contractor are unable to reach timely agreement regarding any change,
Contractor shall then comply with clause 5.4, "Claims."
E. Contractor shall not comply with oral changes in the Work. If Contractor
believes that any oral notice or instruction received from Buyer will
involve a change in the cost, time to perform or integrity of work, it
shall require that the notice or instruction be given in writing and shall
comply with the provisions of subparagraphs 5.1-2, 5.1-3 and 5.1- 4. Any
costs incurred by Contractor to perform oral changes shall be for
Contractor's account, and Contractor waives any and all rights to claim
from Buyer for such costs or additional time to perform the Work as a
result of compliance by Contractor with such oral changes.
5.2 SUSPENSION OF WORK
A. Buyer may at any time, and from time to time, by written notice to
Contractor suspend further performance of all or any portion of the Work
by Contractor. Said notice of suspension shall specify the date of
suspension and the estimated duration of the suspension. Such suspensions
shall not exceed one hundred eighty (180) consecutive calendar days each
nor aggregate more than two hundred seventy (270) calendar days. Upon
receiving any such notice of suspension, Contractor shall promptly suspend
further performance of the Work to the extent specified, and during the
period of such suspension shall properly care for and protect all Work in
progress and materials, supplies and equipment Contractor has on hand for
performance of the Work. Upon the request of Buyer, Contractor shall
promptly deliver to Buyer copies of outstanding subcontracts of
Contractor, and shall take such action relative to such subcontracts as
may be directed by Buyer. Contractor shall use its best efforts to utilize
its material, labor and equipment in such a manner as to mitigate costs
associated with suspension. Buyer may at any time withdraw the suspension
of performance of the Work as to all or part of the suspended Work by
written notice to Contractor specifying the effective date and scope of
withdrawal, and Contractor shall resume diligent performance of the Work
for which the suspension is withdrawn on the specified effective date of
withdrawal.
B. If Contractor believes that any such suspension or withdrawal of
suspension justifies modification of the Contract price or time of
completion, Contractor shall comply with the provisions of the procedure
set forth in clause 5.1, "Changes." Contractor shall not be entitled to
any prospective profits or any damages because of such suspension or
withdrawals of suspension.

A. Buyer may terminate performance of work under this Contract in whole or,
from time to time, in part if Buyer determines that a termination is in
Buyer's interest. Buyer shall terminate by delivering to the Contractor a
Notice of Termination specifying the extent of termination and the
effective date.
B. After receipt of a Notice of Termination, and except as directed by Buyer,
the Contractor shall immediately proceed with the following obligations,
regardless of any delay in determining or adjusting any amounts due under
this clause:

and interest of the Contractor under the subcontracts terminated, in
which case Buyer shall have the right to settle or to pay any
termination settlement proposal arising out of those terminations.
5. With approval or ratification to the extent required by Buyer,
settle all outstanding liabilities and termination settlement
proposals arising from the termination of subcontracts; the approval
or ratification will be final for purposes of this clause. 6. As
directed by Buyer, transfer title to the Government and deliver to
Buyer
(i) the fabricated or unfabricated parts, work in process, completed
work, supplies, and other material produced or acquired for the work
terminate and (ii) the completed or partially completed plans,
drawings, information, and other property that, if the Contract had
been completed, would be required to be furnished to Buyer.
7. Complete performance of the work not terminated.
8. Take any action that may be necessary, or that Buyer may direct, for
the protection and preservation of the property related to this
Contract that is in the possession of the Contractor and in which
the Government has or may acquire an interest.
9. Use its best efforts to sell, as directed or authorized by Buyer,
any property of the types referred to in subparagraph 2f above;
provided, however, that the Contractor (i) is not required to extend
credit to any purchaser and (ii) may acquire the property under the
conditions prescribed by, and at prices approved by, Buyer. The
proceeds of any transfer or disposition will be applied to reduce
any payments to be made by Buyer under this Contract, credited to
the price or cost of the work, or paid in any other manner directed
by Buyer.
C. After expiration of the plant clearance period as defined in Subpart 45.6
of the Federal Acquisition Regulation, the Contractor may submit to Buyer
a list, certified as to quantity and quality, of termination inventory not
previously disposed of, excluding items authorized for disposition by
Buyer. The Contractor may request Buyer to remove those items or enter
into an agreement for their storage. Within 15 days, Buyer will accept
title for and on behalf of the Government to those items and remove them
or enter into a storage agreement. Buyer may verify the list upon removal
of the items, or if stored, within 45 days from submission of the list,
and shall correct the list, as necessary, before final settlement.
D. After termination, the Contractor shall submit a final termination
settlement proposal to Buyer in the form and with the certification
prescribed by Buyer. The Contractor shall submit the proposal promptly,
but no later than 1 year from the effective date of termination, unless
extended in writing by Buyer upon written request of the Contractor within
this 1-year period. However, if Buyer determines that the facts justify
it, a termination settlement proposal may be received and acted on after 1
year or any extension. If Contractor fails to submit the proposal within
the time allowed, Buyer may determine, on the basis of information
available, the amount, if any, due the Contractor because of the
termination and shall pay the amount determined.

Fluor Hanford Provision General Provisions
E. Subject to paragraph 4 above, the Contractor and Buyer may agree upon the
whole or any part of the amount to be paid because of the termination. The
amount may include a reasonable allowance for profit on work done.
However, the agreed amount, whether under this paragraph 5 or paragraph 6
below, exclusive of costs shown in subparagraph 6c below, may not exceed
the total Contract price as reduced by (1) the amount of payments
previously made and (2) the Contract price of work not terminated. The
Contract shall be amended, and the Contractor price of work not
terminated. The Contract shall be amended, and the Contractor paid the
agreed amount. Paragraph 6 below shall not limit, restrict, or affect the
amount that may be agreed upon to be paid under this paragraph.
F If the Contractor and Buyer fail to agree on the whole amount to be paid
because of the termination of work, Buyer shall pay the Contractor the
amounts determined by Buyer as follows, but without duplication of any
amounts agreed on under paragraph 5 above.
1. The Contract price for completed supplies or services accepted by
Buyer (or sold or acquired under subparagraph 2i above) not
previously paid for, adjusted for any saving of freight and other
charges.
2. The total of:
a. The costs incurred in the performance of the work terminated,
including initial costs and preparatory expense allocable
thereto, but excluding any costs attributable to supplies or
services paid or to be paid under subparagraph 6a above.
b. The cost of settling and paying termination settlement
proposals under terminated subcontracts that are properly
chargeable to the terminated portion of the Contract if not
included in subdivision b (1) above; and
c. A sum, as profit on subdivision b (1) above, determined by
Buyer under 49.202 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation, in
effect on the date of this Contract, to be fair and
reasonable; however, if it appears that the Contractor would
have sustained a loss on the entire Contract had it been
completed, Buyer shall allow no profit under this subdivision
b (3) and shall reduce the settlement to reflect the indicated
rate of loss.
3. The reasonable costs of settlement of the work terminated,
including:
a. Accounting, legal, clerical, and other expenses reasonably
necessary for the preparation of termination settlement
proposals and supporting data;
b. The termination and settlement of subcontracts (excluding the
amounts of such settlements); and
c. Storage, transportation, and other cost incurred, reasonably
necessary for the preservation, protection, or disposition of
the termination inventory.
G. Except for normal spoilage, and except to the extent that Buyer expressly
assumed the risk of loss, Buyer shall exclude from the amounts payable to
the Contractor under paragraph (f) above, the fair value, as determined by
Buyer, of property that is destroyed, lost, stolen, or damaged so as to
become undeliverable to the Government or to a buyer.
H. The cost principles and procedures of Part 31 of the Federal Acquisition
Regulation, in effect on the date of this Contract, shall govern all costs
claimed, agreed to, or determined under this clause.
I. If Buyer has made a determination of the amount due under paragraphs 4, 6
or 11, Buyer shall pay the Contractor the amount determined by Buyer.

Contract; and
Page 11 of 29
Fluor Hanford Provision General Provisions
3. The agreed price for, or the proceeds of sale of, materials,
supplies, or other things acquired by the Contractor or sold under
the provisions of this clause and not recovered by or credited to
Buyer.
K. If the termination is partial, the Contractor may file a proposal with
Buyer for an equitable adjustment of the price(s) of the continued portion
of the Contract. Buyer shall make any equitable adjustment agreed upon.
Any proposal by the Contractor for an equitable adjustment under this
clause shall be requested within 90 days from the effective date of
termination unless extended in writing by Buyer.
1. Buyer may, under the terms and conditions it prescribes, make
partial payments and payments against costs incurred by the
Contractor for the terminated portion of the Contract, if Buyer
believes the total of these payments will not exceed the amount to
which the Contractor may be entitled.
2. If the total payments exceed the amount finally determined to be
due, the Contractor shall repay the excess to Buyer upon demand,
together with interest computed at the rate established by the
Secretary of the Treasury under 50 U.S.C. App. 1215(b)(2). Interest
shall be computed for the period from the date the excess payment is
received by the Contractor to the date the excess is repaid.
Interest shall not be charged on any excess payment due to a
reduction in the Contractor's termination settlement proposal
because of the retention or other disposition of termination
inventory until 10 days after the date of the retention or
disposition, or a later date determined by Buyer because of the
circumstances.
L Unless otherwise provided in this Contract or by statute, the Contractor
shall maintain all records and documents relating to the terminated
portion of this Contract for 3 years after final settlement. This includes
all books and other evidence bearing on the Contractor's costs and
expenses under this Contract. The Contractor shall make these records and
documents available to Buyer, or the Government at the Contractor's
office, at all reasonable times, without any direct charge. If approved by
Buyer, photographs, microphotographs, or other authentic reproductions may
be maintained instead of original records and documents.
5.4 CLAIMS
Contractor shall give Buyer written notice within five (5) working days after
the happening of any event, which Contractor believes, may give rise to a claim
by Contractor for additional time or money. Within ten (10) working days after
the happening of such event, Contractor shall supply Buyer with a statement
supporting Contractor's claim, including but not limited to, Contractor's
detailed estimate of the change in Contract Price and scheduled time occasioned
thereby.
Contractor shall substantiate its claim with payroll documents, paid invoices,
receipts, records of performance, and other documents satisfactory to Buyer and
subject to its verification. Neither Buyer nor the Government shall be liable
for, and Contractor hereby waives, any claim or potential claim of Contractor,
which was not reported by Contractor in accordance with the provisions of this
Paragraph. The parties shall negotiate diligently to reach an agreement, but in
no case, except with Buyer prior written consent, shall any work be halted
pending such agreement, whether or not the claim can be resolved to Contractor's
satisfaction, and Contractor shall be bound by the terms and conditions of this
Contract to prosecute the Work without delay to its successful completion. Buyer
shall not be bound to any adjustments in the Contract Price or scheduled time
unless expressly agreed to by Buyer in writing. No claim hereunder by Contractor
shall be allowed if asserted after final payment under this Contract.

Fluor Hanford Provision General Provisions
Business and Occupation Tax Credit for Research and Development spending, the

12.12 INVOICING AND PAYMENT
A. Contractor shall prepare all invoices in a form satisfactory to and
approved by Buyer. Except to the extent expressly stated elsewhere in this
contract, the contract price shall be payable thirty (30) calendar days
after receipt by Buyer of a proper invoice. All unit pricing, and payments
made, shall be in U.S. dollars only, in the forms of cash, check or
electronic transfer as may be agreed upon.
B. As a minimum, the invoice shall clearly identify the invoice number,
contract, release and/or item numbers) for which payment is being
requested, and contain a corresponding description of each item billed,
and amount being billed. Submittal of an invoice constitutes contractor's
certification that the materials, work and/or services have been delivered
and are in accordance with all terms of the contract.
C. At Buyer's request Contractor shall furnish evidence, satisfactory to
Buyer, that all labor and materials furnished and equipment used during
the period covered by any invoice has been paid for in full and that the
work is not subject to liens or claims on account thereof. Buyer may
withhold payment of invoices until Contractor furnishes such evidence.

shall be accompanied by documentation supporting each element of
measurement and/or cost. The final invoice shall be submitted for payment

contract, including the requirements of form and documentation, may be
returned to Contractor. Any costs associated with the resubmission of a

(41 U.S.C. 601-613).
B. Except as provided in the Act, all disputes arising under or relating to
this contract shall be resolved under this clause.
C. "Claim," as used in this clause, means a written demand or written
assertion by one of the contracting parties seeking, as a matter of right,
the payment of money in a sum certain, the adjustment or interpretation of
contract terms, or other relief arising under or relating to this
contract. A claim arising under a contract, unlike a claim relating to
that contract, is a claim that can be resolved under a contract clause
that provides for the relief sought by the claimant. However, a written
demand or written assertion by the Contractor seeking the payment of money
exceeding $100,000 is not a claim under the Act until certified as
required by subparagraph (d)(2) of this clause. A voucher, invoice, or
other routine request for payment that is not in dispute when submitted is
not a claim under the Act. The submission may be converted to a claim
under the Act, by complying with the submission and certification
requirements of this clause, if it is disputed either as to liability or
amount or is not acted upon in a reasonable time.
D. A claim by the Contractor shall be made in writing and, unless otherwise
stated in this contract, submitted within 6 years after accrual of the
claim to the Contracting Officer for a written decision. A claim by the
Buyer against the Contractor shall be subject to a written decision by the
Buyer.
1. The Contractor shall provide the certification specified in
paragraph (d) (2) (iii) of this clause when submitting any
claim-exceeding $100,000.
Page 21 of 29
Fluor Hanford Provision General Provisions
2. The certification requirement does not apply to issues in
controversy that have not been submitted as all or part of a claim.
3. The certification shall state as follows: "I certify that the claim
is made in good faith; that the supporting data are accurate and
complete to the best of my knowledge and belief; that the amount
requested accurately reflects the contract adjustment for which the
Contractor believes the Buyer is liable; and that I am duly
authorized to certify the claim on behalf of the Contractor."
4. The certification may be executed by any person duly authorized to
bind the Contractor with respect to the claim.
E. For Contractor claims of $100,000 or less, the Buyer must, if requested in
writing by the Contractor, render a decision within 60 days of the
request. For Contractor-certified claims over $100,000, the Buyer must,
within 60 days, decide the claim or notify the Contractor of the date by
which the decision will be made.
F. The Buyer's decision shall be final unless the Contractor appeals or files
a suit as provided in the Act.
G. If the claim by the Contractor is submitted to the Buyer or a claim by the
Buyer is presented to the Contractor, the parties, by mutual consent, may
agree to use alternative dispute resolution (ADR). If the Contractor
refuses an offer for ADR, the Contractor shall inform the Buyer, in
writing, of the Contractor's specific reasons for rejecting the offer.
H. The Buyer shall pay interest on the amount found due and unpaid from (1)
the date that the Buyer receives the claim (certified, if required); or
(2) the date that payment otherwise would be due, if that date is later,
until the date of payment. With regard to claims having defective
certification, as defined in FAR 33.201, interest shall be paid from the
date that the Buyer initially receives the claim. Simple interest on
claims shall be paid at the rate, fixed by the Secretary of the Treasury
as provided in the Act, which is applicable to the period during which the
Buyer receives the claim and then at the rate applicable for each 6-month
period as fixed by the Treasury Secretary during the pendency of the
claim.
I. The Contractor shall proceed diligently with performance of this contract,
pending final resolution of any request for relief, claim, appeal, or
action arising under or relating to the contract, and comply with any
decision of the Buyer.
12.14 GOVERNING LAW
Irrespective of the place of performance, this Contract will be construed and
interpreted according to the Federal Common Law of Government Contracts as
enunciated and applied by Federal judicial bodies, Boards of Contract Appeals
and quasi-judicial agencies of the Federal Government. To the extent that the
Federal Common Law of Government Contracts is not dispositive, the law of the
State of Washington shall apply. In the event that either party hereto must
resort to litigation to enforce a right or remedy conferred by law, equity or
the provisions of this Contract, the parties hereby consent to the action being
brought in the court of competent jurisdiction in the state of Washington.
12.15 INTEREST PAYMENT
No interest is payable to Seller for any claim it may have, except that
specifically imposed by a court of competent jurisdiction on any judgment (and
then only from the date of the entry of judgment).

in writing and obtain the contracting officer's approval prior to
acquiring on DOE's behalf the production, acquisition, and dissemination
of printed matter. Such printing must be obtained from the Government
Printing Officer (GPO); a contract source designated by GPO or a Joint
Committee on Printing authorized federal printing plant.
C. Printing services not obtained in compliance with this guidance will
result in the cost of such printing disallowed and may result in criminal
penalties under 31 U.S.C. 1350.
D. The contractor will include in each of its subcontracts hereunder a
provision substantially the same as this clause including this paragraph
(4).

Section 3.104 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation.
B. The price or fee reduction referred to in paragraph (a) of this clause

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 ~
a. The basic fee established in the contract at the time of

contract target profit would have a significant adverse impact
on the incentive price revision relationship under the
contract, or adversely affect the price revision relationship
under the contract, or adversely affect the contract financing
provisions, Buyer 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

Fluor Hanford Provision General Provisions
amount equal to the initial target profit specified in the
contract at the time of contract award and such reduced price

contract price, or a profit amount determined by Buyer from records
or documents in existence prior to the date of the contract award.

subcontractor's facility shall be requested through the Contractor
and verification may be performed jointly with the Contractor. The
Contractor shall, during the performance of this Contract, submit
any significant changes to the program documents to the Buyer for
review and approval prior to implementation. Significant changes are
those changes which, if implemented, may result in unnecessary
increases in occupational exposure or loss of control of radioactive
materials without a corresponding increase in the scope or
effectiveness of radiological work activities performed. The Buyer
may impose changes upon the Contractor's program documents as
necessary to maintain compliance with the Buyer's RPP, which is
subject to changes resulting from new or revised provisions of 10
CFR 835.

2.0 FEDERAL ACQUISITION CLAUSES
FAR 52.22241, SERVICE CONTRACT ACT OF 1965, AS AMENDED (MAY 1989)
A. Definitions
Act, as used in this clause, means the Service Contract Act of 1965, as amended
(41 U.S.C. 351, et seq.).
Contractor, as used in this clause or in any subcontract, shall be deemed to
refer to the subcontractor.
Service Employee, as used in this clause, means any person engaged in the
performance of this contract other than any person employed in a bona fide
executive, administrative, or professional capacity, as these terms are defined
in Part 541 of Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations, as revised. It includes
all such persons regardless of any contractual relationship that may be alleged
to exist between a Contractor or subcontractor and such persons.
B. Applicability
This contract is subject to the following provisions and to all other applicable
provisions of the Act and regulations of the Secretary of Labor (29 CFR Part 4).
This clause does not apply to contracts or subcontracts administratively
exempted by the Secretary of Labor or exempted by 41 U.S.C. 356, as interpreted
in Subpart C of 29 CFR Part 4.
C. Compensation
1 of 8
Fluor Hanford Provision Special Provisions - Service Contract Act of 1965
1. Each service employee employed in the performance of this contract by the
Contractor or any subcontractor shall be paid not less than the minimum
monetary wages and shall be furnished fringe benefits in accordance with
the wages and fringe benefits determined by the Secretary of Labor, or
authorized representative, as specified in any wage determination attached
to this contract.
2. If a wage determination is attached to this contract, the Contractor shall
classify any class of service employee which is not listed therein and
which is to be employed under the contract (i.e., the work to be performed
is not performed by any classification listed in the wage determination)
so as to provide a reasonable relationship (i.e., appropriate level of
skill comparison) between such unlisted classifications and the
classifications listed in the wage determination. Such conformed class of
employees shall be paid the monetary wages and furnished the fringe
benefits as are determined pursuant to the procedures in this paragraph
(c).
3. This conforming procedure shall be initiated by the Contractor prior to
the performance of contract work by the unlisted class of employee. The
Contractor shall submit Standard Form (SF) 1444, Request for Authorization
of Additional Classification and Rate, to the Contracting Officer through
Buyer no later than 30 days after the unlisted class of employee performs
any contract work. The Contracting Officer shall review the proposed
classification and rate and promptly submit the completed SF 1444 (which
must include information regarding the agreement or disagreement of the
employees' authorized representatives or the employees themselves together
with the agency recommendation), and all pertinent information to the Wage
and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of
Labor. The Wage and Hour Division will approve, modify, or disapprove the
action or render a final determination in the event of disagreement within
30 days of receipt or will notify the Contracting Officer within 30 days
of receipt that additional time is necessary.
4. The final determination of the conformance action by the Wage and Hour
Division shall be transmitted to the Contracting Officer who shall
promptly notify the Contractor of the action taken. Each affected employee
shall be furnished by the Contractor with a written copy of such
determination or it shall be posted as a part of the wage determination.
5. The process of establishing wage and fringe benefit rates that bear a
reasonable relationship to those listed in a wage determination cannot be
reduced to any single formula. The approach used may vary from wage
determination to wage determination depending on the circumstances.
Standard wage and salary administration practices that rank various job
classifications by pay grade pursuant to point schemes or other job
factors may, for example, be relied upon. Guidance may also be obtained
from the way different jobs are rated under Federal pay systems (Federal
Wage Board Pay System and the General Schedule) or from other wage
determinations issued in the same locality. Basic to the establishment of
any conformable wage rate(s) is the concept that a pay relationship should
be maintained between job classifications based on the skill required and
the duties performed.
a. In the case of a contract modification an exercise of an option, or
extension of an existing contract, or in any other case where a
Contractor succeeds a contract under which the classification in
question was previously conformed pursuant to paragraph (c) of this
clause, a new conformed wage rate and fringe benefits may be
assigned to the conformed classification by indexing (i.e.,
adjusting) the previous conformed rate and fringe benefits by an
amount equal to the average (mean) percentage increase (or decrease,
where appropriate) between the wages and fringe benefits specified
for all classifications to be used on the contract which are listed
in the current wage determination, and those specified for the
corresponding classifications in the previously applicable wage
determination. Where conforming actions are accomplished in

6. The wage rate and fringe benefits finally determined under this
subparagraph (c)(2) of this clause shall be paid to all employees
performing in the classification from the first day on which contract
work is performed by them in the classification. Failure to pay the
unlisted employees the compensation agreed upon by the interested
parties and/or finally determined by the Wage and Hour Division
retroactive to the date such class of employees commended contract work
shall be a violation of the Act and this contract.
7. Upon discovery of failure to comply with paragraph (c)(2) of this
clause, the Wage and Hour Division shall make a final determination of
conformed classification, wage rate, and/or fringe benefits, which
shall be retroactive to the date, such class or classes of employees
commenced contract work.
D. Adjustments of Compensation
If the term of this contract is more than 1 year, the minimum monetary
wages and fringe benefits required to be paid or furnished thereunder to
service employees under this contract shall be subject to adjustment after
1 year and not less often than once every 2 years, under wage
determinations issued by the Wage and Hour Division.
E. Obligation to Furnish Fringe Benefits
The Contractor or subcontractor may discharge the obligation to furnish
fringe benefits specified in the attachment or determined under
subparagraph (c)(2) of this clause by furnishing equivalent combinations of
bona fide fringe benefits, or by making equivalent or differential cash
payments, only in accordance with Subpart D of 29 CFR Part 4.
F. Minimum Wage
In the absence of a minimum wage attachment for this contract, neither the
Contractor nor any subcontractor under this contract shall pay any person
performing work under this contract (regardless of whether the person is a
service employee) less than the minimum wage specified by section 6(a)(l)
of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. Nothing in this clause shall
relieve the Contractor or any subcontractor of any other obligation under
law or contract for payment of a higher wage to any employee.
G. Successor Contracts
If this contract succeeds a contract subject to the Act under which
substantially the same services were furnished in the same locality and
service employees were paid wages and fringe benefits provided for in a
collective bargaining agreement, in the absence of the minimum wage
attachment for this contract setting forth such collectively bargained wage
rates and fringe benefits, neither the Contractor nor any subcontractor
under this contract shall pay any service employee performing any of the
contract work (regardless of whether or not such employee was employed
under the predecessor contract), less than the wages and fringe benefits
provided for in such collective bargaining agreement, to which such
employee would have been entitled if employed under the predecessor
contract, including accrued wages and fringe benefits and any prospective
increases in wages and fringe benefits provided for under such agreement.
No contractor or subcontractor under this contract may be relieved of the
foregoing obligation unless the limitations of 29 CFR 4.1(b) apply or
unless the Secretary of Labor or the Secretary's authorized representative
finds, after a hearing as provided in 29 CFR 4.10 that the wages and/or
fringe benefits provided for in such agreement are substantially at
variance with those which prevail for services of a character similar in
the locality, or determines, as provided in 29 CFR 4.11, that the
collective bargaining agreement applicable to service employees employed
under the predecessor contract was not entered into as a result of arm's
length negotiations. Where it is found in accordance with the review
procedures provided in 29 CFR 4.10 and/or 4.11 and Parts 6 and 8 that some
or all of the wages and/or fringe benefits contained in a predecessor
Contractor's collective bargaining agreement are substantially at variance
with those which prevail for services of a character similar in the
locality, and/or that the collective bargaining agreement applicable to
service employees employed under the predecessor contract was not entered
into as a result of arm's length negotiations, the Department will issue a
new or revised wage determination setting forth the applicable wage rates
and fringe benefits. Such determination shall be made part of the contract
or subcontract, in accordance with the decision of the Administrator, the
Administrative Law Judge, or the Board
3 of 8
Fluor Hanford Provision Special Provisions - Service Contract Act of 1965
of Service Contract appeals, as the case may be, irrespective of whether
such issuance occurs prior to or after the award of a contract or
subcontract (53 Comp. Gen. 401 (1973)). In the case of a wage
determination issued solely as a result of a finding of substantial
variance, such determination shall be effective as of the date of the
final administrative decision.
H. Notification to Employees
The Contractor and any subcontractor under this contract shall notify each
service employee commencing work on this contract of the minimum monetary
wage and any fringe benefits required to be paid pursuant to this
contract, or shall post the wage determination attached to this contract.
The poster provided by the Department of Labor (Publication WH 1313) shall
be posted in a prominent and accessible place at the worksite. Failure to
comply with this requirement is a violation of section 2(a) (4) of the Act
and of this contract.
I. Safe and Sanitary Working Conditions
The Contractor or subcontractor shall not permit any part of the services
called for by this contract to be performed in buildings or surroundings
or under working conditions provided by or under the control or
supervision of the Contractor or subcontractor, which are unsanitary,
hazardous, or dangerous to the health or safety of the service employees.
The Contractor or subcontractor shall comply with the safety and health
standards applied under 29 CFR Part 1925.
J. Records

Act shall make and maintain for 3 years from the completion of the
work, and make them available for inspection and transcription by
authorized representatives of the Wage and Hour Division, Employment
Standards Administration, a record of the following:
a For each employee subject to the Act--
i. Name and address and social security number;
ii. Correct wage classification or classifications, rate or
rates of payments in lieu of fringe benefits, and total
daily and weekly compensation.
iii. Daily and weekly hours worked by each employee; and
iv. Any deductions, rebates, or refunds from the total daily
or weekly compensation of each employee.
b. For those classes of service employees not included in any
wage determination attached to this contract, wage rates or
fringe benefits determined by the interested parties or by the
Administrator or authorized representative under the terms of
paragraph (c) of this clause. A copy of the report required by
subdivision(C)(2)(ii) of this clause will fulfill this
requirement.
i. Any list of the predecessor Contractor's employees that
had been furnished to the Contractor as prescribed by
paragraph (n) of this clause.
2. The Contractor shall also make available a copy of this contract for
inspection or transcription by authorized representatives of the
Wage and Hour Division.
3. Failure to make and maintain or to make available these records for
inspection and transcription shall be a violation of the regulations
and this contract, and in the case of failure to produce these
records, the Contracting Officer, upon direction of the Department
of Labor and notification to the Contractor, shall take action to
cause suspension of any further payment or advance of funds until
the violation ceases.

Fluor Hanford Provision Special Provisions - Service Contract Act of 1965
4. The Contractor shall permit authorized representatives of the Wage
and Hour Division to conduct interviews with employees at the
worksite during normal working hours.
K. Pay Periods
The Contractor shall unconditionally pay to each employee subject to the
Act all wages due free and clear and without subsequent deduction (except
as otherwise provided by law or Regulations, 29 CFR Part 4), rebate or
kickback on any account. These payments shall be made no later than one
pay period following the end of the regular pay period in which the wages
were earned or accrued. A pay period under this Act may not be of any
duration longer than semi-monthly.
L. Withholding of Payments and Termination of Contract
Buyer shall withhold or cause to be withheld from the Contractor under
this or any other Buyer contract with the Contractor such sums as an
appropriate official of the Department of Labor requests or such sums as
Buyer decides may be necessary to pay underpaid employees employed by the
Contractor or subcontractor. In the event of failure to pay any employees
subject to the Act all or part of the wages or fringe benefits due under
the Act, the Contracting Officer through Buyer may, after authorization or
by direction of the Department of Labor and written notification to the
Contractor, take action to cause suspension of any further payment or
advance of funds until such violations have ceased. Additionally, any
failure to comply with the requirements of this clause may be grounds for
termination of the right to proceed with the contract work. In such event,
Buyer may enter into other contracts or arrangements for completion of the
work, charging the Contractor in default with any additional cost.
M. Subcontracts
The Contractor agrees to insert this clause in all subcontracts subject to
the Act.
N. Collective Bargaining Agreements Applicable to Service Employee
If wages to be paid or fringe benefits to be furnished any service
employees employed by the Contractor or any subcontractor under the
contract are provided for in a collective bargaining agreement which is or
will be effective during any period in which the contract is being
performed, the Contractor shall report such fact to Buyer, together with
full information as to the application and accrual of such wages and
fringe benefits, including any prospective increases, to service employees
engaged in work on the contract, and a copy of the collective bargaining
agreement. Such report shall be made upon commencing performance of the
contract, in the case of collective bargaining agreements effective at
such time, and in the case of such agreements or provisions or amendments
thereof effective at a later time during the period of contract
performance such agreements shall be reported promptly after negotiation
thereof.
O. Seniority List
Not less than 10 days prior to completion of any contract being performed
at a Federal facility where service employees may be retained in the
performance of the succeeding contract and subject to a wage determination
which contains vacation or other benefit provisions based upon length of
service with a Contractor (predecessor) or successor (29 CFR 4.173) the
incumbent Contractor shall furnish the Contracting Officer through Buyer a
certified list of the names, of all service employees on the Contractor's
or subcontractor's payroll during the last month of contract performance.
Such list shall also contain anniversary dates of employment on the
contract either with the current or predecessor Contractors of each such
service employee. The Contracting Officer shall turn over such list to the
successor Contractor at the commencement of the succeeding contract.

this clause, the following employees may be employed in accordance with
the following variations, tolerances, and exemptions, which the Secretary
of Labor, pursuant to section 4(b) of the Act prior to this amendment by
Pub. L 92-473, found to be necessary and proper in the public interest or
to avoid serious impairment of the conduct of Government business.
1. Apprentices, student-learners, and workers whose earning capacity is
impaired by age, physical or mental deficiency or injury may be
employed at wages lower than the minimum wages otherwise required by
section 2(a)(l) or 2(b)(l) of the Act without diminishing any fringe
benefits or cash payments in lieu thereof required under section
2(a)(2) of the Act, in accordance with the conditions and procedures
prescribed for the employment of apprentices, student-learners,
handicapped persons, and handicapped clients of sheltered workshops
under section 14 of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, in the
regulations issued by the Administrator (29 CFR Parts 520, 521, 524,
and 525).
2. The Administrator will issue certificates under the Act for the
employment of apprentices, student-learners, handicapped persons, or
handicapped clients of sheltered workshops not subject to the Fair
Labor Standards Act of 1938, or subject to different minimum rates
of pay under the two acts, authorizing appropriate rates of minimum
wages (but without changing requirements concerning fringe benefits
or supplement ary cash payments in lieu thereof), applying
procedures prescribed by the applicable regulations issued under the
Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (29 CFR Parts 520, 521, 524, and
525).
3. The Administrator will also withdraw, annul, or cancel such
certificates in accordance with the regulations in 29 CFR Parts 525

S. Apprentices
Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate
for the work they perform when they are employed and individually
registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with a State
Apprenticeship Agency which is recognized by the U.S. Department of Labor,
or if no such recognized agency exists in a State, under a program
registered with the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, Employment and
Training Administration, U.S. Department of Labor. Any employee who is not
registered as an apprentice in an approved program shall be paid the wage
rate and fringe benefits contained in the applicable wage determination
for the journeyman classification of work actually performed. The wage
rates paid apprentices shall not be less than the wage rate for their
level of progress set forth in the registered program, expressed as the
appropriate percentage of the journeyman's rate contained in the
applicable wage determination. The allowable ratio of apprentices to
journeymen employed on the contract work in any craft classification shall
not be greater than the ratio permitted to the Contractor as to his entire
work force under the registered program.
T. Tips
An employee engaged in an occupation in which the employee customarily and
regularly receives more than $30 a month in tips may have the amount of
these tips credited by the employer against the minimum wage required by
section 2(a)(l) or section 2(b)(l) of the Act, in accordance with section
3(m) of the Fair Labor
6 of 8
Fluor Hanford Provision Special Provisions - Service Contract Act of 1965

this provision --
1. The employer must inform tipped employees about this tip credit
allowance before the credit is utilized;
2. The employees must be allowed to retain all tips (individually or
through a pooling arrangement and regardless of whether the employer
elects to take a credit for tips received);

receives at least the applicable Service Contract Act minimum wage
through the combination of direct wages and tip credit; and
4. The use of such tip credit must have been permitted under any
predecessor collective bargaining agreement applicable by virtue of
section 4(c) of the Act.
U. Disputes Concerning Labor Standards
The U.S. Department of Labor has set forth in 29 CFR Parts 4, 6, and 8
procedures for resolving disputes concerning labor standards requirements.
Such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with those procedures and
not the Disputes clause of this contract. Disputes within the meaning of
this clause include disputes between the Contractor (or any of its
subcontractors) and the contracting agency, the U.S. Department of Labor,
or the employees or their representatives.

CONTRACT ACT - PRICE ADJUSTMENT (MULTIPLE YEAR
AND OPTION CONTRACTS) (MAY 1989)
A. This clause applies to both contracts subject to area prevailing wage
determinations and contracts subject to collective bargaining agreements.
B. The Contractor warrants that the prices in this contract do not include
any allowance for any contingency to cover increased costs for which
adjustment is provided under this clause.
C. The wage determination, issued under the Service Contract Act of 1965, as
amended, (41 U.S. C. 351 et seq.), by the Administrator, Wage and Hour
Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor,
current on the anniversary date of a multiple year contract or the
beginning of each renewal option period, shall apply to this contract. If
no such determination has been made applicable to this contract, then the
Federal minimum wage as established by section 6(a)(l) of the Fair Labor
Standards Act of 1938, as amended, (29 U.S.C. 206) current on the
anniversary date of a multiple year contract or the beginning of each
renewal option period, shall apply to this contract.
7 of 8
Fluor Hanford Provision Special Provisions - Service Contract Act of 1965
D. The contract price or contract unit price labor rates will be adjusted to
reflect the Contractor's actual increase or decrease in applicable wages
and fringe benefits to the extent that the increase is made to comply with
or the decrease is voluntarily made by the Contractor as a result of:
1. The Department of Labor wage determination applicable on the
anniversary date of the multiple year contract, or at the beginning
of the renewal option period. For example, the prior year wage
determination required a minimum wage rate of $4.00 per hour. The
Contractor chose to pay $4.10. The new wage determination increases
the minimum rate to $4.50 per hour. Even if the Contractor
voluntarily increases the rate to $4.75 per hour, the allowable
price adjustment is $.40 per hour.
2. An increased or decreased wage determination otherwise applied to
the contract by operation of law; or
3. An amendment to the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 that is enacted
after award of this contract, affects the minimum wage, and becomes
applicable to this contract under law.
E. Any adjustment will be limited to increases or decreases in wages and
fringe benefits as described in paragraph (c) of this clause, and the
accompanying increases or decreases in social security and unemployment
taxes and workers compensation insurance, but shall not otherwise include
any amount for general and administrative costs, overhead, or profit.
F. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer through Buyer of any
increase claimed under this clause within 30 days after receiving a new
wage determination unless the Contracting Officer extends this
notification period in writing. The Contractor shall promptly notify the
Contracting Officer through Buyer of any decrease under this clause, but
nothing in the clause shall preclude the Government from asserting a claim
within the period permitted by law. The notice shall contain a statement
of the amount claimed and any relevant supporting data, including payroll
records that the Contracting Officer may reasonably require. Upon
agreement of the parties, the contract price or contract unit price labor
rates shall be modified in writing. The Contractor shall continue
performance pending agreement on or determination of any such adjustment
and its effective date.
G. The Contracting Officer or an authorized representative shall have access
to and the right to examine any directly pertinent books, documents,
papers and records of the Contractor until the expiration of 3 years after
final payment under the contract.

" UNIFORM ALLOWANCE "
If employees are required to wear uniforms in the performance of this contract
(either by the terms of the Government contract, by the employer, by the state
or local law, etc.), the cost of furnishing such uniforms and maintaining (by
laundering or dry cleaning) such uniforms is an expense that may not be borne by
an employee where such cost reduces the hourly rate below that required by the
wage determination. The Department of Labor will accept payment in accordance
with the following standards as compliance:
The contractor or subcontractor is required to furnish all employees with an
adequate number of uniforms without cost or to reimburse employees for the
actual cost of the uniforms. In addition, where uniform cleaning and maintenance
is made the responsibility of the employee, all contractors and subcontractors
subject to this wage determination shall (in the absence of a bona fide
collective bargaining agreement providing for a different amount, or the
furnishing of contrary affirmative proof as to the actual cost), reimburse all
employees for such cleaning and maintenance at a rate of S3.35 per week (or $.67
cents per day). However, in those instances where the uniforms furnished are
made of "wash and wear" materials, may be routinely washed and dried with other
personal garments, and do not require any special treatment such as dry
cleaning, daily washing, or commercial laundering in order to meet the
cleanliness or appearance standards set by the terms of the Government contract,
by the contractor, by law, or by the nature of the work, there is no requirement
that employees be reimbursed for uniform maintenance costs.

REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL CLASSIFICATION AND WAGE RATE {Standard
Form 1444 (SF 1444)}
Conformance Process:
The contracting officer shall require that any class of service employee which
is not listed herein and which is to be employed under the contract (i.e., the
work to be performed is not performed by any classification listed in the wage
determination), be classified by the contractor so as to provide a reasonable
relationship (i.e., appropriate level of skill comparison) between such unlisted
classifications and the classifications listed in the wage determination. Such
conformed classes of employees shall be paid the monetary wages and furnished
the fringe benefits as are determined. Such conforming process shall be
initiated by the contractor prior to the performance of contract work by such
unlisted class(es) of employees. The conformed classification, wage rate, and/or
fringe benefits shall be retroactive to the commencement date of the contract.
{See Section 4.6 (C)(vi)} When multiple wage determinations are included in a
contract, a separate SF 1444 should be prepared for each wage determination to
which a class(es) is to be conformed.
The process for preparing a conformance request is as follows:
1) When preparing the bid, the contractor identifies the need for a conformed
occupation(s) and computes a proposed rate(s).
2) After contract award, the contractor prepares a written report listing in
order proposed classification title(s), a Federal grade equivalency (FGE) for
each proposed classiflcation(s), job description(s), and rationale for proposed
wage rate(s), including information regarding the agreement or disagreement of
the authorized representative of the employees involved, or where there is no
authorized representative, the employees themselves. This report should be
submitted to the contracting officer no later than 30 days after such unlisted
class(es) of employees performs any contract work.
3) The contracting officer reviews the proposed action and promptly submits a
report of the action, together with the agency's recommendations and pertinent
information including the position of the contractor and the employees to the
Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of
Labor, for review. (See section 4.6(b)(2) of Regulations 29 CFR Part 4).
4) Within 30 days of receipt, the Wage and Hour Division approves, modifies, or
disapproves the action via transmittal to the agency contracting officer, or
notifies the contracting officer that additional time will be required to
process the request
WAGE DETERMINATION NO.: 1994-2569(Rev. 18) ISSUE DATE: 07/26/2002 Page 10
5) The contracting officer transmits the Wage and Hour decision to the
contractor.
6) The contractor informs the affected employees.
Information required by the Regulations must be submitted on SF 1444 or bond
paper. When preparing a conformance request, the "Service Contract Act Directory
of Occupations" (the Directory) compare job definitions to insure that duties
requested are not performed by a classification already listed in the wage
determination. Remember, it is not the job title, but the required tasks that
determine whether a class is included in an established wage determination
Conformances may not be used to artificially split, combine, or subdivide
classifications listed in the wage determination

SUBJECT:
Service Contract Act Health and Welfare Fringe Benefit Changes
In accordance with the requirements of Section 4.52 of Regulations, 29 CFR Part
4, the prevailing health and welfare fringe benefits issued under the XxXxxxxx
O'Hara Service Contract Act (SCA) will be increased on June 1, 2003. As
prescribed by the Regulations the new benefit rate is derived from the latest
Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Cost Index (ECI) summary of Employer Cost
for Employee Compensation. Effective June 1, 2003 the new SCA health and welfare
benefit rate will be $2.36 per hour or $94.40 per week or $409.07 per month.
Solicitation/Contracts Affected
All Invitation for Bids opened, or other service contracts awarded on or after
June 1, 2003 must include an updated SCA wage determination (WD) issued in
accordance with the regulatory health and welfare fringe benefit determination
methodology. Contracting agencies may make pen and ink changes to their current
WD if received for contracts beginning on or after June 1, and for which the
updated health and welfare rates were not included. It is not required that
contracting agencies request a revised WD for only a health and welfare rate
change. Contracts with wage determinations currently requiring health and
welfare benefits costing an average of $2.56 per hour are not affected by this
change.
