adjustment shall be made for any increase in the cost of performance of this contract (excluding profit) necessarily
caused by the unreasonable suspension, delay, or interruption, and the contract modified in writing accordingly.

performance would have been so suspended, delayed, or interrupted by any other cause, including the fault or
negligence of the Contractor, or for which an equitable adjustment is provided for or excluded under any other term
or condition of this contract. (c) A claim under this clause shall not be allowed (1) for any costs incurred more than
20 days before the Contractor shall have notified the Contracting Officer in writing of the act or failure to act
involved (but this requirement shall not apply as to a claim resulting from a suspension order), and (2) unless the
claim, in an amount stated, is asserted in writing as soon as practicable after the termination of the suspension, delay,
or interruption, but not later than the date of final payment under the contract.

C3 CLAUSE 952.225-0016 CONTRACTOR DEMOBILIZATION (NOV 2010)

(a) Full demobilization of contractors and subcontractor(s) in the Iraq/Afghanistan Combined/Joint Operations Area
(CJOA) is critical to Responsible Drawdown. The prime contractor is required to submit a demobilization plan to
the Contracting Officer a minimum of 30 days prior to the end of the contract performance period or when requested
by the Contracting Officer. The demobilization plan shall address, as a minimum, the following procedures detailed
below. The procedures outline specific guidance to ensure a timely and responsible exit from theater. Prime
contractors are responsible and accountable to ensure their subcontractor(s) at all tiers comply with responsible and
timely exit from theater immediately following contract performance completion or termination.
(1) Exit from Iraq: The prime contractor shall follow the exit guidance issued by the United States (U.S.) Embassy
Baghdad and shall ensure subcontractor(s) at all tiers also follow the exit procedures. The prime contractor is
responsible to remain cognizant of Iraqi laws regarding exit from Iraq. Currently, all foreigners traveling out of Iraqi
airports via commercial air transportation must have exit visas. Department of Defense, U.S. Forces-Iraq, Letters of
Authorization (LOAs), and/or Embassy Badges are no longer the accepted means of exiting Iraq. All U.S. citizens
and foreign national contractors must obtain an Iraqi exit sticker before departing the country. The exit sticker may
be obtained from selected police stations or Ministry of Interior (MOI) offices. It is the prime contractors
responsibility to ensure that the most recent exit procedures are followed and to ensure that subcontractor(s) at all
tiers are in compliance with exit procedures. Assistance for this procedure may be obtained by e-mailing
baghdadregmgt@state.gov or phone 240-553-0581, ext 2782 or ext 2092.
(2) Letter of Authorization (LOA): The prime contractor is responsible for demobilizing its workforce, including
subcontractor employees at all tiers, and all contractor owned and subcontractor owned equipment out of theater as
part of the prime contractors exit strategy. This exit strategy must include reasonable timeframes starting with the
end of the contract performance period and not exceeding 30 days. The Contracting Officer has the authority to
extend selected LOAs up to, but not exceeding 30 calendar days after the contract completion date to allow the prime
contractor to complete demobilization of its workforce and contractor owned equipment, as well as subcontractor(s)
workforce and owned equipment, out of the Iraq/Afghanistan CJOA. The prime contractor shall notify the
Contracting Officer a minimum of 30 days prior to the end of the contract period to request up to a 30-day extension
of selected LOAs beyond the contract completion date to complete demobilization. The request shall include at a
minimum:
(i) the name of each individual requiring a new LOA;
(ii) the number of days for the LOA (no more than 30 calendar days); and
(iii) justification for the request (e.g., what function the individual(s) will be performing during the demobilization
period).
The Contracting Officer may request additional information for an LOA extension. Any LOA extension granted
beyond the contract completion date shall not exceed 30 days and the contractor is not entitled to additional
compensation for this period. If approved by the contracting officer, this is a no cost extension of an employees
LOA due to demobilization and in no way is an extension of the contract performance period.
(3) Badging: The prime contractor is responsible to ensure all employee badges, including subcontractor employees
at all tiers, are returned to the local Access Control Badging Office for de-activation and destruction. The prime
contractor shall submit a Badge Termination Report to ensure each record is flagged and the badge is revoked. If a
prime and/or subcontractor employees badge is not returned, the prime contractor shall submit a Lost, Stolen or
Unrecovered Badge Report to the appropriate Access Control Badging Office. Contractor employees in possession
of a Common Access Card (CAC) shall be responsible for turning in the CAC upon re-deployment through a
CONUS Replacement Center in the U.S. Failure to return employee badges in a timely manner may result in delay of
final payment.

from a qualified engineer and the Contracting Officer.

Severe forms of trafficking in persons means-(1) Sex trafficking in which a commercial sex act is induced by force, fraud, or coercion, or in which the person
induced to perform such act has not attained 18 years of age; or
(2) The recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for labor or services, through the
use of force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of subjection to involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage, or
slavery.
Sex trafficking means the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for the purpose
of a commercial sex act.

(3) Use forced labor in the performance of the contract.
(c) Contractor requirements. The Contractor shall-(1) Notify its employees of-(i) The United States Government's zero tolerance policy described in paragraph (b) of this clause; and
(ii) The actions that will be taken against employees for violations of this policy. Such actions may include, but are

purpose of prompt payment under this contract. The prompt payment terms of the contract regarding notice of an
improper invoice and delays in accrual of interest penalties apply.
(2) If the EFT information changes after submission of correct EFT information, the Government shall begin using
the changed EFT information no later than 30 days after its receipt by the designated office to the extent payment is
made by EFT. However, the Contractor may request that no further payments be made until the updated EFT
information is implemented by the payment office. If such suspension would result in a late payment under the
prompt payment terms of this contract, the Contractor's request for suspension shall extend the due date for payment
by the number of days of the suspension.
(e) Liability for uncompleted or erroneous transfers. (1) If an uncompleted or erroneous transfer occurs because the
Government used the Contractor's EFT information incorrectly, the Government remains responsible for-(i) Making a correct payment;
(ii) Paying any prompt payment penalty due; and
(iii) Recovering any erroneously directed funds.
(2) If an uncompleted or erroneous transfer occurs because the Contractor's EFT information was incorrect, or was
revised within 30 days of Government release of the EFT payment transaction instruction to the Federal Reserve
System, and-(i) If the funds are no longer under the control of the payment office, the Government is deemed to have made
payment and the Contractor is responsible for recovery of any erroneously directed funds; or
(ii) If the funds remain under the control of the payment office, the Government shall not make payment and the
provisions of paragraph (d) shall apply.
(f) EFT and prompt payment. A payment shall be deemed to have been made in a timely manner in accordance with

assignment of claims terms of this contract, the Contractor shall require as a condition of any such assignment, that
the assignee shall provide the EFT information required by paragraph (j) of this clause to the designated office, and
shall be paid by EFT in accordance with the terms of this clause. In all respects, the requirements of this clause shall
apply to the assignee as if it were the Contractor. EFT information that shows the ultimate recipient of the transfer to
be other than the Contractor, in the absence of a proper assignment of claims acceptable to the Government, is
incorrect EFT information within the meaning of paragraph (d) of this clause.

follow all instructions fully and carefully, as the Government reserves the right to make an award based on initial
offers received, without discussion of such offers. Also, lack of the following submittals as a part of the offerors
response to the solicitation may convey a basic lack of understanding of the Governments requirements resulting in
the offeror being declared non-responsive.
Instructions.
The following specific instructions are applicable to the listed sections of the solicitation and must be furnished in
response to this solicitation.
1. Furnish a completed Standard Form 1442. Blocks 14 through 20c must be completed. An authorized
official of the firm must sign the Standard Form 1442.

Page 56 of 58
Section M - Evaluation Factors for Award
BASIS FOR AWARD

a. Proposals will be evaluated using the procedures from the source selection policies and procedures
contained in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.1, specifically, FAR 15.101-2, Lowest Price Technically
Acceptable (LPTA). Award will be made to the Offeror who reflects a complete understanding of the specifications
and drawings for the Request for Proposal based on selection of the offer with the lowest, realistic and reasonable
evaluated price, followed by the first offer found to be technically acceptable. If the lowest priced offer is found to
be technically acceptable, evaluations will stop at this point without consideration of any other offers as this
represents the lowest priced, technically acceptable offer. The Government reserves the right to refrain from
awarding to the lowest priced, technically acceptable offeror if it is determined the price proposed is not realistic or
reasonable.
b. Offerors may be given the opportunity to clarify certain aspects of proposals or to resolve minor or
clerical errors. The results of clarifications and/or the evaluation of the offerors cost information may indicate it is in
the best interests of the government to allow offerors to furnish revised proposals. In this case, the Government shall
establish a competitive range. The contracting officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to
the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition, as permitted by FAR 52.215-1.
c. The Government reserves the right to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions.
Therefore, each initial offer should contain the offerors best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However,
the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Government to be necessary.
Failure of an offerors proposal to meet ANY given requirement of the RFP may result in the entire proposal being
found to be unacceptable and eliminated from further competition.

EVALUATION FACTORS:
The below areas of the proposals will be evaluated. Factor 1 will be evaluated before evaluation of other factors. The
following areas will be evaluated:
Factor 1:

Cost/Price

Factor 2:

Technical Capability
Subfactor 1: Past Performance
Subfactor 2: Key Project Management/Technical Support Plan/NEC 2008 (Or International
Equivalent) Licensed Electrician
Subfactor 3: Contractor Quality Control/Safety Plan
Subfactor 4: Progress Schedule/Timeline and Bill of Materials (BOM)

COST/PRICE (Factor 1)
Each offerors proposed price will be evaluated for reasonableness and realism IAW FAR 15.305(a)(1) and FAR
15.404. Reasonableness will be determined based on prices submitted by the competition, current market conditions,
and comparison to the Government estimate. Realism will be based on an evaluation of prices to determine if they
are compatible with the scope of effort, are not unbalanced, and are neither excessive nor insufficient for the effort to
be accomplished. Any unreasonably or unrealistically priced proposal is subject to removal from the competitive
range on the basis that the offeror does not understand the requirement or has submitted an unrealistic proposal.
Price will be evaluated by comparison of pricing among all offerors submitted and/or the Independent Government
Estimate. Award will be made to the lowest priced, technically acceptable offer.
