IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereunto have executed this agreement as of the day and year first above written.

16-503 Master Contract for Repair and Alteration of Vessels (DD-ASPR Form 731 and DD Form 731-1).

16-503.1 General. DD-ASPR Form 731 is prescribed to establish in advance the terms upon which a contractor will effect repairs, alterations and additions to vessels under the provisions of job orders issued by contracting activities from time to time. The Master Contract (DD-ASPR Form 731) shall be entered into with all prospective contractors located within the United States who request ship repair work and who possess the organization and facilities to perform such work satisfactorily. Award of the Master Contract, however, does not constitute approval of the contractor's facilities for any particular job. When using master contracts in work with prospective contractors located outside the United States, DD-ASPR Form 731 shall be used as a guide.

16-503.2 Inviting Bids or Quotations for Job Orders. When a requirement arises for the type of work covered by the master contract within the United States, bids or quotations will be solicited from prospective contractors who have previously executed a master contract, and also from prospective contractors, who possess the necessary qualifications and agree to execute a master contract before issuance of a job order. Whenever a prospective contractor is invited to submit a bid or quotation, the contracting officer shall notify the prospective contractor in reasonable detail of (i) the nature of the work to be performed, (ii) the date the vessel will be available, and (iii) the date the work is to be completed. In the event the prospective contractor is willing and able to perform the work, he

shall be afforded an opportunity to inspect the work to be accomplished, and then he shall submit a bid or quotation for the performance of the work in accordance with the invitation for bids or request for quotations. If the contracting officer requests prospective contractors to negotiate, he shall also request a breakdown of the price quoted indicating the estimated cost of (i) direct labor, (ii) material, (iii) overhead, (iv) any amount included for contingencies and profit, and (v) such other information as the contracting officer may consider necessary.

16-503.3 Issuance of Job Order (DD Form 731-1). In addition to the procedures set forth in 1-905 for making the determination called for by 1-904, the contracting officer may make a pre-award survey of the contractor's operations to insure the adequacy and suitability of facilities, including safety standards and devices, adequacy of facilities for the health, comfort and welfare of the crew of the vessel, and adequate plant protection to safeguard the vessel and other Government property. After the receipt and evaluation of bids or quotations and selection of the contractor, the price for the work and other pertinent data shall be set forth in a Job Order (DD Form 731-1). This job order, by its terms, is subject to the provisions of the master contract. When the procurement has been formally advertised, issuance of a job order, signed by the contracting officer only, constitutes an award. When the procurement of the services has been negotiated the job order must also be signed by the contractor, and returned to the contracting officer.

16-503.4 Emergency Work Required Prior to Issuance of a Job Order. In the following circumstances, the contracting officer, without inviting bids or requesting quotations, may issue a written order for work to a contractor who has executed a Master Ship Repair contract; (i) when a vessel, its cargo, or stores would be endangered by delay in the performance of necessary repair work, or (ii) when military necessity requires immediate work on a vessel. Contractors who sign the master contract agree to perform the work required by such written orders within their capabilities. As soon as practicable after the issuance of such written orders, the parties are required by the master contract to negotiate a price for the work. When agreement is reached upon a price, the contracting officer will issue a job order covering the work. The master contract provides for a procedure to resolve disputed questions with respect to price. However, the contractor is required to proceed diligently with the work pending a decision upon such disputes.

16-503.5 Repair Costs Not Readily Ascertainable. If the nature of any repairs is such that their extent and probable cost are not readily ascertainable, the contracting officer may issue a job order, on a negotiated or formally advertised basis, to determine the nature and extent of required repairs. The job order shall also provide that upon such determination, the contractor, if requested by the contracting officer, shall negotiate prices for the performance of such work as the contracting officer may deem necessary to accomplish the repairs. The prices so agreed upon shall be set forth in an amendment to the job order.

16-503.6 Modification of Master Contracts.

(a) Since master contracts prescribe the terms and conditions under which contractors submit bids and competitive quotations for vessel repair work, it is essential that the provisions of all outstanding master contracts be kept uniform. It

is also necessary that master contracts be kept up to date and reflect changes in statutes, executive orders, and procurement regulations applicable to vessel repair work. The DD ASPR Form 731 will be revised periodically, not more frequently than annually, to incorporate all changes made necessary by ASPR revisions unless revision is required by statute or Executive Order. All outstanding master contracts shall be replaced using the latest revised form, effective as to all job orders issued on or after 60 days after the promulgation of such revision. Pending revision of DD ASPR Form 731, the clause in 7-602.27 shall be inserted in master contracts in accordance with 11-302(c).

(b) To minimize interim amendments to master contracts, ASPR revisions changing clauses in the master contract form will provide appropriate direction with respect to any required amendments to master contracts. To the extent possible, amendments will be required only in matters resulting from changes in statutes or Executive Orders.

16-504 Forms for Paid Advertisements (DD Forms 1155, 1155r and 1535 and Standard Form 26).

(a) DD Form 1535 (Request/Approval for Authority to Advertise) shall be used in requesting authority to place paid advertisements in newspapers, and may be used in requesting authority to place advertisements in magazines, trade journals, and any other media, including radio and television (see 4-802).

(b) The following forms shall be used to order and effect payment for advertisements in newspapers and other media (see 4-803):

(i) DD Forms 1155 and 1155r (Order for Supplies or Services/Request for Quotations); and

(ii) Standard Form 26 (Award/Contract).

16-505 Communication Service Authorization (DD Form 428).

(a) In accordance with 22-1007, DD Form 428 shall be used as an order for communication services, including associated equipment and facilities. It may be used also as a delivery order under GSA Federal Supply Schedule contracts.

(b) When the volume of transactions necessitates preparation of orders by other than manual processes, a format suitable for an electronic data processing system may be used in lieu of DD Form 428, provided, that all essential elements of DD Form 428 are incorporated in the electronic data processed CSA.
