a) All warranties of Seller, whether created expressly by law or in fact, are incorporated in any P/O by reference and shall include and are supplemented by the following express warranties:

i) Seller shall be responsible for all costs associated with promptly correcting, at the site of the equipment or vessel, valid warranty claims. The costs shall include but are not limited to:

      1. Repair, replacement, and associated freight;
      2. Bollinger production, administrative, and engineering services;
      3. Correcting direct damage to equipment, the site, the compartment or contents resulting from the warranty defect;
      4. Correcting the work, materials, and equipment that are disturbed in fulfilling the warranty, including that which may have been warranted under another contract;
      5. All damages incurred by Bollinger as a result of Seller’s failure to make prompt repairs.

ii) If the Seller fails to proceed promptly in accordance with the warranty, Bollinger may have such work performed at the expense of Seller.

iii)    A valid warranty claim is defined as: the correction of any defect in workmanship or material identified during the warranty period. A valid warranty claim also mandates correction of defects in workmanship and material after the warranty expires that are latent, caused by fraud, or caused by gross mistake such as amounting to fraud.

iv) The warranty period begins at Bollinger’s acceptance of the supplies and services furnished under this contract and ends twenty-four (24) months after the U.S Government’s acceptance of the supplies and services furnished under this contract for the first vessel and eighteen (18) months after the U.S Government’s acceptance of the supplies and services furnished under this contract for follow-on vessels. The warranty period shall be extended for supplies and services by the time during which the vessel is not available by reason of any defects for which Bollinger determines the Seller to be responsible. The supplies and services subject to correction and furnished in replacement shall be subject to the conditions of this Warranty clause to the same extent as supplies and services initially delivered. The warranty for supplies and services subject to correction and furbished in replacement shall be equal in duration to that set forth above and shall run from the date of delivery of the corrected or replaced supplies or services.

The Seller shall provide a copy of the standard commercial warranty with the item. The standard commercial warranty period shall begin upon the final acceptance by the Government of the applicable material or software.

Acceptance of the standard commercial warranty does not waive the Government’s rights under the “Inspection” clause, nor does it limit the Government’s rights with regard to other terms and conditions of the contract. In the event of a conflict, the terms and conditions of the contract shall take precedence over the standard commercial warranty.

vi) Seller warrants that all technical data delivered under this contract will at the time of delivery conform with the specifications and all other requirements of this contract. The warranty period shall extend for three years after Buyer’s delivery of the data to the Government.

vii)  Except in the case of goods for which Buyer furnished detailed manufacturing drawings, the manufacture and sale by Seller of the goods, the use of the goods by Buyer, or disclosures by Seller to Buyer in any manner shall not infringe upon or violate the legal or equitable rights of any person, corporation, or partnership arising out of any license or franchise, or out of any patent, trademark, copyright, or other proprietary right now or hereinafter in effect.

Seller agrees to permit Seller to prosecute a claim or equitable adjustment in the name of Seller for the use and benefit of Seller in the manner provided in the Prime Contract for like claims pursued by Bollinger against the USG.  However, nothing contained in this Agreement shall cancel rights, remedies, or benefits in favor of Seller that do not exist pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

ii) Any decision made by the USG Contracting Officer in Bollinger’s Prime Contract, if binding upon Bollinger, shall bind Bollinger and Seller. In no event shall Bollinger be required to appeal on behalf of or permit Seller to appeal in Bollinger’s name if Bollinger considers Seller’s position to be groundless in fact, or in law or frivolous. Any decision on such appeal shall be binding upon Seller.

iii) If Bollinger permits Seller to appeal in Bollinger’s name, Seller will be permitted, to the extent permitted by the Government, to participate in any such appeal for the purpose of protecting its rights, and Bollinger will not enter into a settlement agreement with the Government or take any other action which would prejudice Seller’s rights under this Clause without Seller’s consent. Fees and costs and expenses incurred by Bollinger in prosecuting any such appeal initiated by Bollinger at Seller’s request shall be paid by Seller and shall not be reimbursable or otherwise compensable as a cost under this Purchase Order or Agreement. The Seller agrees to comply with the same claim certification requirements and support data requirements imposed upon the Bollinger under its Prime Contract by reason of the Contract Disputes Act of 1978 (41 U.S.C. §601-613), FAR 52.233-1.  Specifically, Seller, and Seller on behalf of its sub-tier subcontractors, suppliers and Sellers, agree to provide with its claim submission, in accordance with the CDA, the following certification language:  “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 [submitting party] believes the Government are liable; and that I am duly authorized to certify the claim on behalf of the [submitting party].”

iv) Seller agrees to accept in full satisfaction and discharge of any and all of its claims brought under the CDA the amounts which Bollinger recovers from the Government on behalf of the Seller, and Seller on behalf of its sub-tier subcontractors, suppliers and Sellers, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and Purchase Order, if any. If no such recovery is obtained from the Government, Seller, and Seller on behalf of its sub-tier subcontractors, suppliers and Sellers, agree to accept Bollinger’s good faith efforts, cooperation, and compliance with its obligations provided herein to obtain such recovery in full satisfaction and discharge of Seller, and Seller on behalf of its sub-tier subcontractors, suppliers and Sellers, asserted claims.   Seller, and Seller on behalf of its sub-tier subcontractors, suppliers and Sellers, shall not commence or take any legal action related to the Bollinger’s prosecution of Seller, and Seller on behalf of its sub-tier subcontractors, suppliers and Sellers, claims.  Seller, and Seller on behalf of its sub-tier subcontractors, suppliers and Sellers, agree that each will not seek to recover from Bollinger any amount that Bollinger does not recover from the Government for each of Seller, and Seller on behalf of its sub-tier subcontractors, suppliers and Sellers claims, respectively.

v) Seller, and Seller on behalf of its sub-tier subcontractors, suppliers and Sellers, agree that each will prepare its claim(s) in accordance with FAR 52.233-1 as well as provide a cost or pricing data certification pursuant to the FAR.

vi) Bollinger and Seller, and Seller on behalf of its sub-tier subcontractors, suppliers and Sellers, shall confer with regard to discovery, the proposed presentation of evidence and testimony, and shall give due regard to the needs of the other party’s proof. If the presentation of the proof or part of the proof of one party’s claim or request for contract adjustment directly interferes with the proof of the other party’s claim, Bollinger shall confer with Seller, and Seller on behalf of its sub-tier subcontractors, suppliers and Sellers.  As the named party, however, Bollinger has the right to make the final decision as to what action to take, if any.

vii) Seller, and Seller on behalf of its sub-tier subcontractors, suppliers and Sellers, may retain their own attorneys and experts to prepare and assist in presenting the Seller, and Seller on behalf of its sub-tier subcontractors, suppliers and Sellers, evidence in support of their claims in the name of Bollinger if allowed by Bollinger.

viii) Bollinger’s counsel will be designated as the lead attorney for all claims filed with the Government and jointly negotiated. With regard to any proceeding before the CBCA or COFC, or any resultant appeal, Bollinger’s counsel shall be designated as “Counsel of Record.”

b) Arbitration Clause

i) As a condition precedent to arbitration, Seller, and Seller on behalf of its sub-tier subcontractors, suppliers and Sellers, must first submit any and all claims and disputes arising out of, related to, or connected with the Agreement and/or Purchase Order through the CDA procedure and consistent with Article 15(a) above before filing any arbitration proceeding or demand. Only after Seller, and Seller on behalf of its sub-tier subcontractors, suppliers and Sellers, exhausts any and all remedies and procedures addressed in Article 15(a), shall Seller, and Seller on behalf of its sub-tier subcontractors, suppliers and Sellers be permitted to submit any and all unresolved disputes arising under this Agreement and/or Purchase Order that cannot be settled by the parties under the Dispute Resolution Procedures in Article 15(a) to binding arbitration under the Construction Industry Rules of Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association.  The parties agree that the AAA Construction Industry Rules are expressly incorporated into this Agreement and/or Purchase Order. Any and all arbitration proceedings and hearings shall be located in New Orleans, Louisiana. Louisiana Law shall govern this Contract.

Officers, employees and associates of other prime Contractors with the Government and their subcontractors, shall, as authorized by the Supervisor, have, at all reasonable times, admission to the plant, access to the vessel(s) where and as required, and be permitted, within the plant and on the vessel(s) required, to perform and fulfill their respective obligations to the Government.  The Contractor shall make reasonable arrangements with the Government or Contractors of the Government, as shall have been identified and authorized by the Supervisor to be given admission to the plant and access to the vessel(s) for office space, work areas, storage or shop areas, or other facilities and services, necessary for the performance of the respective responsibilities involved, and reasonable to their performance.

HQ C-2-0005 ACCESS TO THE VESSELS BY NON-U.S. CITIZENS (NAVSEA) (SEP 2016)

(a)  No person not known to be a U.S. citizen shall be eligible for access to naval vessels, work sites and adjacent areas when said vessels are under construction, conversion, overhaul, or repair, except upon a finding by COMNAVSEA or his designated representative that such access should be permitted in the best interest of the United States.  The Contractor shall establish procedures to comply with this requirement and NAVSEAINST 5510.3 (series).

 (b)  If the Contractor desires to employ non-U.S. citizens in the performance of work under this contract or agreement that requires access as specified in paragraph (a) of this requirement, approval must be obtained prior to access for each contract or agreement where such access is required.  To request such approval for non-U.S. citizens of friendly countries, the Contractor shall submit to the cognizant Contract Administration Office (CAO), an Access Control Plan (ACP) which shall contain as a minimum, the following information:

     (1)  Badge or Pass oriented identification, access, and movement control system for non-U.S. citizen employees with the badge or pass to be worn or displayed on outer garments at all times while on the Contractor’s facilities and when performing work aboard ship.

(i) Badges must be of such design and appearance that permits easy recognition to facilitate quick and positive identification.

(ii) Access authorization and limitations for the bearer must be clearly established and in accordance with applicable security regulations and instructions.

(iii) A control system, which provides rigid accountability procedures for handling lost, damaged, forgotten or no longer required badges, must be established.

(iv)  A badge or pass check must be performed at all points of entry to the Contractor’s facilities or by a site supervisor for work performed on vessels outside the Contractor’s plant.

(2) Contractor’s plan for ascertaining citizenship and for screening employees for security risk.

(3)  Data reflecting the number, nationality, and positions held by non-U.S. citizen employees, including procedures to update data as non-U.S. citizen employee data changes, and pass to cognizant CAO.

(4)  Contractor’s plan for ensuring subcontractor compliance with the provisions of the Contractor’s ACP.

(5)  These conditions and controls are intended to serve as guidelines representing the minimum requirements of an acceptable ACP.  They are not meant to restrict the Contractor in any way from imposing additional controls necessary to tailor these requirements to a specific facility.

(c) To request approval for non-U.S. citizens of hostile and/or communist-controlled countries (listed in Department of Defense Industrial Security Manual, DOD 5220.22-M or available from cognizant CAO), Contractor shall include in the ACP the following employee data: name, place of birth, citizenship (if different from place of birth), date of entry to U.S., extenuating circumstances (if any) concerning immigration to U.S., number of years employed by Contractor, position, and stated intent concerning U.S. citizenship.  COMNAVSEA or his designated representative will make individual determinations for desirability of access for the above group.  Approval of ACP’s for access of non-U.S. citizens of friendly countries will not be delayed for approval of non-U.S. citizens of hostile communist-controlled countries.  Until approval is received, Contractor must deny access to vessels for employees who are non-U.S. citizens of hostile and/or communist-controlled countries.

(d) The Contractor shall fully comply with approved ACPs.  Noncompliance by the Contractor or subcontractor serves to cancel any authorization previously granted, in which case the Contractor shall be precluded from the continued use of non-U.S. citizens on this contract or agreement until such time as the compliance with an approved ACP is demonstrated and upon a determination by the CAO that the Government’s interests are protected.  Further, the Government reserves the right to cancel previously granted authority when such cancellation is determined to be in the Government’s best interest.  Use of non-U.S. citizens, without an approved ACP or when a previous authorization has been canceled, will be considered a violation of security regulations.  Upon confirmation by the CAO of such violation, this contract, agreement or any job order issued under this agreement may be terminated or default in accordance with the clause entitled “DEFAULT (FIXED-PRICE SUPPLY AND SERVICE)” (FAR 52.249-8), “DEFAULT (FIXED-PRICE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT)” (FAR 52.249-9) or “TERMINATION (COST REIMBURSEMENT)” (FAR 52.249-6), as applicable.

(e)  Prime Contractors have full responsibility for the proper administration of the approved ACP for all work performed under this contract or agreement, regardless of the location of the vessel, and must ensure compliance by all subcontractors, technical representatives and other persons granted access to U.S. Navy vessels, adjacent areas, and work sites.

(f)  In the event the Contractor does not intend to employ non-U.S. citizens in the performance of the work under this contract, but has non-U.S. citizen employees, such employees must be precluded from access to the vessel and its work site and those shops where work on the vessel’s equipment is being performed.  The ACP must spell out how non-U.S. citizens are excluded from access to contract work areas.

(g) The same restriction as in paragraph (f) above applies to other non-U.S. citizens who have access to the Contractor’s facilities (e.g., for accomplishing facility improvements, from foreign crewed vessels within its facility, etc.) except that, with respect to access to the vessel and worksite, the restrictions shall not apply to uniformed U.S. Navy personnel who are non-U.S. citizens and who are either assigned to the ship or require access to the ship to perform their duties.

(d)  No copy protection devices or systems shall be used in any computer software or computer database delivered under this contract to restrict or limit the Government from making copies.  This does not prohibit license agreements from specifying the maximum amount of copies that can be made.

(e)  Delivery by the Contractor to the Government of certain technical data and other data is now frequently required in digital form rather than as hard copy.  Such delivery may cause confusion between data rights and computer software rights.  It is agreed that, to the extent that any such data is computer software by virtue of its delivery in digital form, the Government will be licensed to use that digital-form with exactly the same rights and limitations as if the data had been delivered as hard copy.

(f)  Any limited rights legends or other allowed legends placed by a Contractor on technical data or other data delivered in digital form shall be digitally included on the same media as the digital-form data and must be associated with the corresponding digital-form technical data to which the legends apply to the extent possible.  Such legends shall also be placed in human readable form on a visible surface of the media carrying the digital-form data as delivered, to the extent possible.
