§ 9-16.5002-3 Outline of negotiated fixed-price construction contract.

1. Standard Forms 19, "Invitation, Bid and Award;" 19.A., "Labor Standards Provisions;" 23, "Construction Contract;" and 23.A., "Gen

eral Provisions (Construction Contract)" and any AEC additions thereto which are authorized by this part may be used where the AEC enters directly into a fixed-price construction contract, by competitive proposals or by other means of negotiation.

2. The Standard Forms should be modified in the following respects:

a. Delete the word "publicly" before the word "opened" wherever it appears.

b. Delete the word "bid" or "bids" wherever used and insert the word "proposed" or "proposals."

c. Delete the word "bidder" and insert the word "offeror" wherever it appears.

d. Delete the word "bidding" wherever it appears and insert the word "proposal."

3. Add the following clauses to the Standard forms:

§ 9-16.5002-4 Outline of a cost-plus-afixed-fee-construction contract.

(A statement of grounds which permit contracting without formal advertising and render a contract on a lump sum or unit price basis impracticable, should be inserted in this recital.)

Whereas, the Contractor is willing to undertake the performance of such construction work on a cost-plus-a-fixed-fee basis; and

Whereas, the Commission finds that the Contractor is best qualified to perform the work, all relevant factors considered; and

Whereas, the Commission certifies that this negotiated contract is authorized by and executed under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, in the interest of the common defense and security.

Now therefore, the parties hereto agree as follows:

(Payments for the use of the contractor's own construction plant and equipment are made subject to an appendix to be attached at the time of execution of the construction contract or subsequently added by agreement of the parties. Payment for rental by the prime contractor of construction plant and equipment from third parties is made subject to rental agreements to be approved by the contracting officer.

See Subpart 9-18.50.)

Article XIX-Patent indemnity. General Provision "15" of Standard Form 23A. NOTE A: Basically, no patent provisions beyond the usual indemnity clause should be included. Alteration of this clause as to specified items is a matter to be dealt with by negotiation, if the question is raised by a prospective contractor. In particular cases involving technical facilities, the inclusion of additional provisions relating to title and rights in inventions and discoveries, with appropriate alteration of the indemnity clause, will be required in the interest of the Government. The patent indemnity clause may be modified by deleting the opening words, "Except as otherwise provided," and by adding at the end of the article an exception set forth in (1) or (2) below under circumstances therein.

(1) Certain construction contracts may call for items or parts thereof which are standard commercial supplies and also for items which require modifications in the course of the performance of the work. In such event the patent idemnity article set forth above may be appropriately modified. To cover such circumstances, the following modification should be added at the end of the patent indemnity article:

except, however, infringement necessarily resulting from the contractor's compliance with written specifications or provisions for other than standard parts or components manufactured or supplied by the contractor or resulting from specific written instructions given by the Commission for the purpose of directing a manner of performance of the contract not normally utilized by the contractor."

(2) In some instances certain specific items should be excluded from the indemnification, and where such items or parts can be identified as nonstandard commercial

components or parts, the following provision may be added at the end of the patent indemnity article:

"except that this indemnity shall not apply to the following items or parts (specifically identifying and listing the items or parts to be excluded)."

NOTE B: The alterations of the indemnity clause should be made upon the advice of the Field Patent Group or, in the absence of such group, on the advice of the Office of the Assistant General Counsel for Patents. Article XX-Security. Insert contract clause set forth in § 9-7.5004-11.

NOTE: The security clause includes a provision under which the contractor agrees to conform to all security regulations and requirements of the AEC.
