Page 5 of 29 Fluor Hanford Provision General Provisions 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 1. Deliver the supplies or to perform the services within the time 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. above, may be exercised if the Contractor does not cure such failure within 10 days (or more if authorized in writing by Buyer) after receipt 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 weather. In each instance the failure to perform must be beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor. E. If the failure to perform is caused by the default of a subcontractor at 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 the convenience of Buyer. I. The rights and remedies of Buyer in this clause are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law or under this contract. 3.7 STOP WORK ORDERS Upon failure of Contractor or its subcontractors) to comply with any of the requirements of this Contract, Buyer shall have the authority to stop any operations of Contractor or its subcontractors affected by such failure until such failure is Page 6 of 29 Fluor Hanford Provision General Provisions remedied or to terminate this Contract in accordance with clause 3.5. No part of the time lost due to any such stop work orders shall be made the subject of a claim for extension of time or for increased costs or damages by Contractor. 3.8 COUNTERFEIT FASTENERS AND COMPONENTS Buyer reserves the right to question and/or require Contractor to certify and/or furnish proof regarding the quality, authenticity, application or fitness for use of the items supplied by the Contractor under this Contract. Any items 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 or which are listed by the Department of Commerce to be suspect will be deemed, 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. 4.0 TIMING OF WORK 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. Page 9 of 29 Fluor Hanford Provision General Provisions 5.3 TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE OF BUYER 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: 1. Stop work as specified in the notice. 2. Place no further subcontracts or orders (referred to as subcontracts in this clause) for materials, services, or facilities, except as necessary to complete the continued portion of the Contract. 3. Terminate all subcontracts to the extent they relate to the work terminated. 4. Assign to the Government, as directed by Buyer, all right, title, 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. Page 10 of 29 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.

This contract is subject to the Contract Disputes Act of 1978, as amended (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). 13.0 PRINTING, DEAR 952.208-70 PRINTING (APRIL 1984) (MODIFIED) The contractor shall not engage in, nor subcontract for, any printing (as that term is defined in Title I of the U.S. Government Printing and Binding Regulations in effect) in connection with the performance of work under this contract. Provided, however, that performance of a requirement under this contract involving individual printing orders costing not more than $1000, if the work is not of a continuing or repetitive nature, and, as certified by the Public Printer, if the Page 22 of 29 Fluor Hanford Provision General Provisions work is included in a class of work which cannot be provided more economically through the Government Printing Office, will not be deemed printing. A requirement is defined as a single publication document. A. The term printing includes the processes of composition, plate making, presswork, duplicating, silkscreen processes, binding, microfilm, and the end items of such processes. B. If fulfillment of the contract will necessitate reproduction in excess of limit set forth above, the contractor shall notify the contracting officer 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). 14.0 FEDERAL ACQUISITION CLAUSES FAR 52.203-8 CANCELLATION, RESISSION, AND RECOVERY OF FUNDS FOR ILLEGAL OR IMPROPER ACTIVITY (JAN 1997) A. Buyer, at its election, may reduce the price of a fixed-price type contract and the total cost and fee under a cost-type contract by the amount of profit or fee determined as set forth in paragraph (b) of this clause if the head of the contracting activity or designee determines that there was a violation of subsection 27(a) of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act, as amended (41 U.S. C. 423), as implemented in Section 3.104 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation. B. The price or fee reduction referred to in paragraph (a) of this clause shall be -- 1. For cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts, the amount of the fee specified in the contract at the time of award; 2. For cost-plus-incentive-fee contracts, the target fee specified in 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 award; b. If no basic fee is specified in the contract, 30 percent of the amount of each award fee otherwise payable to the Contractor for each award fee evaluation period or at each award fee determination point. 4. For fixed-price-incentive contracts, Buyer may- a. Reduce the contract target price and contract target profit both by an amount equal to the initial target profit specified in the contract at the time of contract award; or b. If an immediate adjustment to the contract target price and 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 Page 23 of 29 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 shall be the total final contract price. 5. For firm-fixed-price contracts, by 10 percent of the initial contract price, or a profit amount determined by Buyer from records or documents in existence prior to the date of the contract award. A. Buyer may, at its election, reduce a Contractor's price or fee in accordance with the procedures of paragraph (b) of this clause for violations of the Act by its subcontractors by an amount not to exceed the amount of profit or fee reflected in the subcontract at the time the subcontract was first definitively priced. B. In addition to the remedies in paragraphs (a) and (c) of this clause, Buyer may terminate this contract for default. The rights and remedies of Buyer specified herein are not exclusive, and are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law or under this contract. DEAR 970.5204-94 AUTHORIZATION AND CONSENT (XXX 2000) A. The Government authorizes and consents to all use and manufacture of any invention described in and covered by a United States patent in the performance of this Contract or any subcontract at any tier. B. If the Contractor is sued for copyright infringement or anticipates the filing of such a lawsuit, the Contractor may request authorization and consent to copy a copyrighted work from the contracting officer. Programmatic necessity shall be a major consideration in determining whether to grant such request. C. The Contractor agrees to include, and require inclusion of, the Authorization and Consent clause at 52.227-1, without Alternate I, but, suitably modified to identify the parties, in all subcontracts at any tier for supplies or services (including construction, architect-engineer services and materials, supplies, models, samples, and design or testing services $25,000). D. The Contractor agrees to include, and require inclusion of, paragraph (a) of this Authorization and Consent clause, suitably modified to identify the parties, in all subcontracts at any tier for research and development activities. Omission of an authorization and consent clause from any subcontract, including those valued less than $25, 000 does not affect this authorization and consent. DEAR 970.5204-95 NOTICE AND ASSISTANCE REGARDING PATENT AND COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT (XXX 2000) A. The Contractor shall report to Buyer, promptly and in reasonable written detail, each notice or claim of patent or copyright infringement based on the performance of this Contract of which the Contractor has knowledge.

If, during the award process, Buyer's Radiation Protection Program (RPP) requirements or program elements are revised, they will be updated and offerors will be permitted the opportunity to revise their proposals to make them current and resubmit them to the Buyer with their proposals. If the Offeror's program documents have been previously certified as being consistent with the current Buyer's RPP requirements, and have not changed since such certification, a statement to this effect may be submitted with its proposal in lieu of a certification. 4. The Buyer reserves the right to evaluate compliance of all offers to RPP requirements prior to award, which may include verification of implementation at the Offeror's facilities. If a change to program documents is required, it will be identified to the Offeror for resolution prior to award of a Contract. Deficiencies or inadequacies with implementing RPP requirements may be used as the basis to deny award of a Contract. I. Post-Award Contractor Radiation Protection Compliance Evaluation 1. The requirements in this clause apply to any radiological activity carried out on behalf of DOE and the Buyer by the Contractor that has the potential to result in: (1) occupational exposure to ionizing radiation (as defined in 10 CFR 835.2), (2) exposure of minors and members of the public (as defined in 10 CFR 835.2) to ionizing radiation during direct on-site access at a DOE site or facility, (3) planned special exposures (as described in 10 CFR 835.204), (4) emergency exposures (as described in 10 CFR 835.1302), and (5) exposures to the embryo/fetus of a declared pregnant worker (as defined in 10 CFR 835.2). Specific applicability exclusions include those listed in 10 CFR 835.l (b). 2. The Contractor shall: (1) comply with all requirements of the Buyer's Radiation Protection Program (RPP) which implements the requirements of 10 CFR 835, "Occupational Radiation Protection." and (2) shall implement, document, and maintain implementing programs (such as administrative controls, procedures, and technical work documents) as necessary to ensure compliance with the Buyer's RPP. The Contractor's program is subject to review at all times by the Buyer. If the Contractor's radiation protection program is based on a standard other than that defined in the Solicitation, it may be acceptable to the Buyer if it complies, at a minimum, with all of the requirements listed in the Buyer's RPP. The Contractor's certification in response to the Solicitation shall signify that requirements of the Buyer's RPP are understood and will be met. 3. When subcontracting any portion of this Contract, the Contractor is required to invoke the requirements of the Buyer's RPP on any subcontractor which shall be involved in the performance of any of the work described in the first paragraph of this clause.

Access to a 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. 5. The Contractor, and any of its Subcontractors performing portions of the work covered by the Buyer's RPP and/or Contractor's radiological Control Program, shall restrict minors (persons under 18 years of age) from Radiologically Controlled Areas and all other radiological areas, as defined in the most current edition of 12 of 16 Fluor Hanford Provision Special Provisions - On Site Services - Standard ES&H the Hanford Site Radiological Control Manual, unless approval has been obtained from the Buyer's Radiological Control Manager to permit entry. 7.0 CONTRACTOR-FURNISHED MATERIALS AND/OR TOOLS If Contractor is required to furnish, and bring on the Hanford Site, its own materials and/or tools, Contractor shall contact Buyer prior to coming onto the Hanford Site and identify the specific items to be brought on site.

1.0 PREAMBLE A. These Special Provisions are requirements of any Contract in which this Special Provision document is incorporated. These Special Provisions are applicable in their entirety unless specifically deleted or amended in the Contract and are in addition to the General Provisions and other Special Provisions that apply to this Contract. In the event of a conflict between these Special Provisions and the General Provisions, these Special Provisions shall take precedence. B. Buyer is obligated to the DOE under its prime contract to assure that any subcontract services provided by any business entity using types of personnel covered by the Service Contract Act of 1965, as amended, are performed according to provisions of the Act regarding payment of wages and fringe benefits to the subcontractor employees performing the work and regarding the maintenance of work place conditions that meet requirements of the Act. 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 accordance with this paragraph prior to the performance of contract work by the unlisted class of employees, the Contractor shall advise the Contracting Officer through Buyer of the action taken but the other procedures in subdivision (c)(2)(ii) of this clause need not be followed. b. No employee engaged in performing work on this contract shall in any event be paid less than the currently applicable minimum wage specified under section 6(a) (l) of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended. 2 of 8 Fluor Hanford Provision Special Provisions - Service Contract Act of 1965 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 1. The Contractor and each subcontractor performing work subject to the 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. 4 of 8 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. P. Rulings and Interpretations Rulings and interpretations of the Act are contained in Regulations, 29 CFR Part 4. 5 of 8 Fluor Hanford Provision Special Provisions - Service Contract Act of 1965 Q. Contractor's Certification 1.

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 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 Standards Act and Regulations 29 CFR Part 531. However, the amount of credit shall not exceed $1.34 per hour beginning January 1, 1981. To use 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); 3. The employer must be able to show by records that the employee 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. FAR 52.222^2, STATEMENT OF EQUIVALENT RATES FOR FEDERAL HIRES (MAY 1989) In compliance with the Service Contract Act of 1965, as amended, and the regulations of the Secretary of Labor (29 CFR Part 4), this clause identifies the classes of service employees expected to be employed under the contract and states the wages and fringe benefits payable to each if they were employed by the contracting agency subject to the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 5341 or 5332. [information furnished by Byer when available] THIS STATEMENT IS FOR INFORMATION ONLY: IT IS NOT A WAGE DETERMINATION. Employee class Wage-Fringe Benefits FAR 52.222^3 FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT AND SERVICE 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. 8 of 8 Fluor Hanford Provision Special Provisions - Organizational Conflicts of Interest SPECIAL PROVISIONS - ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST SP-9 REV 2 0/30/01 SPECIAL PROVISIONS - ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST SP-9 rev 2 08/30/01.....1 1.0 PREAMBLE.........................................................................1 2.0 ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST - WARRANTY...................................1 3.0 FEDERAL ACQUISITION CLAUSE.......................................................1 DEAR 952.209-72, Organizational Conflicts Of Interest Alternate I (June 1997)......1

The terms "contract," "contractor," and "Buyer" shall be appropriately modified to preserve the Government's rights. 2. Prior to the award under this contract of any such subcontracts for advisory and assistance services, the contractor shall obtain from the proposed subcontractor or consultant the disclosure required by DEAR 909.507-1, and shall determine in writing whether the interests disclosed present an actual or significant potential for an organizational conflict of interest.

" 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. " NOTES APPLYING TO THIS WAGE DETERMINATION ** Source of Occupational Title and Descriptions: The duties of employees under job titles listed are those described in the "Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations," Fourth Edition, January 1993, as amended by the Third Supplement, dated March 1997, unless otherwise indicated. This publication may be obtained from the Superintendent of Documents, at 202-783-3238, or by writing to the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. Copies of specific job descriptions may also be obtained from the appropriate contracting officer. 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 Memo 196 May 23, 2003 ALL AGENCY MEMORANDUM NUMBER 196 TO: All Contracting Agencies of the Federal Government and Contracting Agencies of the District of Columbia FROM: Tammy D. McCutchen Administrator 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 McNamara 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.
