Performance must begin within 10 calendar days of award and be completed within 79 calendar days, with a required work progress plan submitted at the prework conference. The contract includes standard FAR clauses related to disputes, protests, warranty of construction, default, differing site conditions, subcontracts, and equal opportunity, with several deviations for reporting executive compensation, equal opportunity, and preference for U.S.-flag vessels. Compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act is required via a referenced wage determination, and all work must conform to government inspection and acceptance criteria based on client satisfaction and contractual specifications. Payment must be submitted via the Treasury’s IPP system with certified payrolls, statements of compliance, and a release of claims for final payment, and the contractor is required to follow strict SDS labeling and ozone-depleting substance disclosure rules.
