the Contractor notifies the Government of such correction until the Government notifies the Contractor of such election. If the Government elects not to again assume such risks, and such conditions have in fact been corrected, the Contractor shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment for costs of insurance, if any, extending after such third working day.

(d) The Government's assumption of risk shall not extend to damage to, or loss or destruction of, such aircraft:

(1) resulting from failure of the Contractor, due to willful misconduct or lack of good faith of any of the Contractor's managerial personnel, to maintain and administer a program for the protection and preservation of aircraft in the open, and during operation, in accordance with sound industrial practice (the term "Contractor's managerial personnel" means the Contractor's directors, officers, and any of his managers, superintendents, or other equivalent representatives, who has supervision or direction of all or substantially all of the Contractor's business, or all or substantially all of the Contractor's operations at any one plant or separate location at which this contract is performed, or a separate and complete major industrial operation in connection with the performance of this contract);

(ii) sustained during flight if the flight crew members conducting such flight have not been approved in writing by the____

(iii) while in the course of transportation by rail, or by conveyance on public streets, highways, or waterways, except for Government-furnished property;

(iv) to the extent that such damage, loss or destruction is in fact covered by insurance;

(v) Consisting of wear and tear, deterioration (including rust and corrosion), freezing, or mechanical, structural, or electrical breakdown or failure, unless such damage is the result of other loss, damage, or destruction covered by this clause: Provided, however, In the case of Government-furnished property, if such damage consists of reasonable wear and tear or deterioration, or results from inherent vice in such property, this exclusion shall not apply;

or

(vi) Sustained while the aircraft is being worked upon and directly resulting therefrom, including but not limited to any repairing, adjusting, servicing or maintenance operation, unless such damage, loss, destruction, is of a type which would be covered by insurance which would customarily have been maintained by the Contractor at the time of such damage, loss, or destruction, but for the Government's assumption of risk under this clause; or

(vii) Under this clause, where the total loss resulting from each event separately occurring is less than $500.

• See footnote at end of clause.

(e) A subcontractor shall not be relieved from liability for damage to, or loss or destruction of, aircraft while in his possession or control, except to the extent that the subcontractor, with the prior written approval of the Contracing Officer, provides for relief of the subcontractor from such liability. In the absence of such approval, the subcontract shall contain appropriate provisions requiring the return of such aircraft in as good condition as when received, except for reasonable wear and tear or for the utilization of the property in accordance with the provisions of this contract. Where a subcontractor has not been relieved from liability for any damage, loss, or destruction of aircraft and any damage, loss, or destruction occurs, the Contractor shall enforce the liability of the subcontractor for such damage to, or loss or destruction of, the aircraft for the benefit of the Government.

(f) The Contractor warrants that the contract price does not and will not include, except as may be otherwise authorized in this clause, any charge or contingency reserve for insurance (including self-insurance funds or reserves) covering any damage to, or loss or destruction of, aircraft while in the open, during operation, or in flight, the risk of which has been assumed by the Government under the provisions of this clause, whether or not such assumption may be terminated as to aircraft in the open.

(g) In the event of damage to, or loss or destruction of, aircraft in the open, during operation, or inflight, the Contractor shall take all reasonable steps to protect such aircraft from further damage, separate damaged and undamaged aircraft, put all aircraft in the best possible order and, further, except in cases covered by (d) (vii) above, the Contractor should furnish to the

a statement of:

(1) The damaged, lost, or destroyed aircraft;

(ii) The time and origin of the damage, loss or destruction;

(iii) All known interests in commingled property of which aircraft are a part; and

(vi) The insurance, if any, covering any part of the interest in such commingled property.

Except in cases covered by (d) (vii) above, an equitable adjustment shall be made in the amount due under this contract for expenditures made by the Contractor in performing his obligations under this paragraph (g) and this contract shall be modified in writing accordingly.

(h) If prior to delivery and acceptance by the Government any aircraft is damaged, lost, or destroyed and the Government has under this clause assumed the risk of such damage, loss or destruction, the Government shall either (1) require that such aircraft be replaced or restored by the Contractor to the condition in which it was immediately prior to such damage, or (2) shall terminate this contract with respect to such aircraft. In the event that the Government requires

that the aircraft be replaced or restored, an equitable adjustment shall be made in the amount due under this contract and in the time required for its performance, and this contract shall be modified in writing accordingly. If, in the alternative, this contract is terminated under this paragraph with respect to such aircraft and under this clause the Government has assumed the risk of such damage, loss, or destruction, the Contractor shall be paid the contract price for said aircraft (or, if applicable, any work to be performed on said aircraft) less such amounts as the Contracting Officer determines (1) that it would have cost the Contractor to complete the aircraft (or any work to be performed on said aircraft) together with anticipated profit, if any, on any such uncompleted work, and (2) to be the value, if any, of the damaged aircraft or any remaining portion thereof retained by the Contractor. The Contracting Officer shall have the right to prescribe the manner of disposition of the damaged, lost, or destroyed aircraft, or any remaining parts thereof; and, if any additional costs of such disposition are incurred by the Contractor, a further equitable adjustment will be made in the amount due to the Contractor. Failure of the parties to agree upon an equitable adjustment or upon the amount to be paid in the event of termination of the contract with respect to any aircraft, shall be a dispute concerning a question of fact within the meaning of the Disputes clause of this contract.

(1) In the event the Contractor is at any time reimbursed or compensated by any third person for any damage, loss, or destruction of any aircraft, the risk of which has been assumed by the Government under the provisions of this clause and for which the Contractor has been compensated by the Government, he shall equitably reimburse the Government. The Contractor shall do nothing to prejudice the Government's rights to recover against third parties for any such damage, loss, or destruction and, upon the request of the

• shall

at the Government's expense furnish to the Government all reasonable assistance and cooperation (including the prosecution of suit and the execution of instruments of assignment or subrogation in favor of the Government) in obtaining recovery.

*In the foregoing clause, insert in contracts of the Department of the Army, the Department of the Navy, the Department of the Air Force, and in contracts to be administered by the Defense Contract Administration Services the activity designated in combined regulation identified as Air Force Regulation 84-7, Army Regulation 95-20, BUWEPS Instruction 3710.6A, Defense Supply Agency Regulation 8210.1, dated 18 November 1964, subject, Requirements for Contractor Operating Procedures and Flight Crews, enclosure 1.

(b) (1) In paragraph (b) of the fore-d going clause, certain of the defined terms may be modified by insertion of appropriate additional definitions in the Schedule in accordance with the following.

The purpose of the clause is to have the Government assume risks which generally entail unusually high insurance premiums and which are not covered by the contractor's "contents," "work-inprocess," or other similar insurance. It is recognized that all of the definitions prescribed in the foregoing clause may not cover all situations which should be covered if the above purpose is to be accomplished. Therefore, changes may be effected in the Schedule as set forth below.

(i) Since the standard definition of "aircraft" contemplates convertional types of winged aircraft, a modified definition is necessary if the contract covers helicopters, vertical take-off aircraft, lighter-than-air airships or other non-conventional types of aircraft. The modified definition should take into consideration that the aircraft has reached a point of manufacture comparable to a that required in the standard definition;

(ii) The definition of "in the open" may be modified to include "hush houses," test hangars, and comparable structures, and other designated areas;

(iii) "Contractor's premises" shall be expressly defined in the Schedule and shall be limited to those locations where aircraft, as defined in the above clause, may be located during and for the performance of the contract. "Contractor's premises" may include, but are not limited to, premises owned or leased by the contractor or premises as to which the contractor has a permit, license, or other right of use either exclusively or jointly with others, including Government airfields.

(2) The Government need not assume the risk of damage to, or loss or destruction of, aircraft, as provided by the foregoing clause, if the best estimate of premium costs which would be included in the contract price for insurance coverage for such damage, loss, or destruction at any plant or facility is less than $500. The Government shall not assume such risks if the aircraft is being acquired in connection with a Military Assistance Sale and the foreign government involved has not agreed to assume such risks. If it is determined not to assume such risks, the foregoing clause shall not be made a part of the contract, and the

la

E cost of necessary insurance to be obtained by the contractor to cover such risks shall be considered in establishing the contract price. In such cases, however, if performance of the contract is expected to involve the flight of Government-furnished aircraft, the substance of the Flight Risks clause in § 10.504, suitably adapted for use in a fixed-price -type contract, shall be used.

(3) Subparagraph (d) (iii) of the above clause may be varied to provide for Government assumption of risk of transportation by conveyance on streets or highways where the contracting officer determines that such transportation is limited to the vicinity of the contractor's premises and is merely an incident to work being performed under contract.

the

(a) Any solicitation for a contract requiring performance of construction, repair, or utilities work on a Government installation shall state the minimum insurance coverage required and inform the bidder that the resulting contract shall require the contractor or subcontractor doing such work to furnish a Certificate of Insurance or a statement in writing to the contracting officer of any required insurance, including but not limited to, workman's compensation and employers' liability insurance, comprehensive general liability, and comprehensive automobile liability insurance. Such certificates or statements shall reflect at least the minimum limits of liability set forth in the solicitation. The minimum coverage identified in § 10.501 shall ordinarily be considered to be the minimum requirement. If a contract requires repetitive or continuous performance on a Government installation, the contracting officer may also require the contractor to carry such insurance as may be applicable under the circumstances.

(b) Certificates of Insurance or statements, together with any renewals, shall cover the full period of contract performance.

(c) The foregoing requirements shall not apply to contracts of $2,500 or less, or to work to be performed outside the United States, its possessions, and Puerto

The types of insurance listed below, with the minimum amounts of liability indicated, ordinarily shall be required in cost-reimbursement contracts and subcontracts thereunder where the provisions of the prime contract are extended to the subcontract. An approved program of self-insurance, as provided in § 10.502, may be substituted for any of the types of insurance ordinarily required.

[30 F.R. 14900, Dec. 2, 1965]

§ 10.501-1 Workmen's compensation and employers' liability insurance. Compliance with applicable workmen's compensation and occupational disease statutes shall be required. In jurisdictions where all occupational diseases are not compensable under applicable law, insurance for occupational disease shall be required under the employers' liability section of the insurance policy; however, such additional insurance shall not be required where contract operations are comingled with the contractor's commercial operations so that it would be impracticable to require such coverage. Employers' liability coverage in the minimum amount of $100,000 shall be required except in States with exclusive or monopolistic funds which do not permit the writing of workmen's compensation by private carriers (Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Washington, West Virginia, and Wyoming). The clause in § 10.403 (a) shall be included in all public work contracts as described therein to be performed outside the United States.

§ 10.501-2 General liability insurance.

Bodily injury liability insurance, in the minimum limits of $50,000 per person and $100,000 per accident shall be required on the comprehensive form of

that the aircraft be replaced or restored, an equitable adjustment shall be made in the amount due under this contract and in the time required for its performance, and this contract shall be modified in writing accordingly. If, in the alternative, this contract is terminated under this paragraph with respect to such aircraft and under this clause the Government has assumed the risk of such damage, loss, or destruction, the Contractor shall be paid the contract price for said aircraft (or, if applicable, any work to be performed on said aircraft) less such amounts as the Contracting Officer determines (1) that it would have cost the Contractor to complete the aircraft (or any work to be performed on said aircraft) together with anticipated profit, if any, on any such uncompleted work, and (2) to be the value, if any, of the damaged aircraft or any remaining portion thereof retained by the Contractor. The Contracting Officer shall have the right to prescribe the manner of disposition of the damaged, lost, or destroyed aircraft, or any remaining parts thereof; and, if any additional costs of such disposition are incurred by the Contractor, a further equitable adjustment will be made in the amount due to the Contractor. Failure of the parties to agree upon an equitable adjustment or upon the amount to be paid in the event of termination of the contract with respect to any aircraft, shall be a dispute concerning a question of fact within the meaning of the Disputes clause of this contract.

(1) In the event the Contractor is at any time reimbursed or compensated by any third person for any damage, loss, or destruction of any aircraft, the risk of which has been assumed by the Government under the provisions of this clause and for which the Contractor has been compensated by the Government, he shall equitably reimburse the Government. The Contractor shall do nothing to prejudice the Government's rights to recover against third parties for any such damage, loss, or destruction and, upon the request of the

shall

at the Government's expense furnish to the Government all reasonable assistance and cooperation (including the prosecution of suit and the execution of instruments of assignment or subrogation in favor of the Government) in obtaining recovery.
