SECTION H - SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

ARTICLE H.1.  OPTION PROVISION

Unless the Government exercises its option pursuant to the Option Clause set forth in ARTICLE I.3., the contract will consist only of the Base Period of the Statement of Work (Periods 1-5), as defined in Sections C and F of the contract.  Pursuant to clause 52.217-9 set forth in ARTICLE I.3. of  this contract, the Government may, by unilateral contract modification, require the Contractor to perform Option Periods of the Statement of Work (Periods 6-10) as also defined in Sections C and F of the contract.

If the Government exercises this option, preliminary notice must be given at least [...***...] prior to the expiration date of this contract, with the option exercised at least [...***...] prior to the expiration date of the contract, and the estimated cost plus fixed fee (and possible incentive fee) of the contract will be increased as set forth in ARTICLE B.2.

ARTICLE H.2.  REIMBURSEMENT OF COSTS FOR INDEPENDENT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS

The primary purpose of the Public Health Service (PHS) is to support and advance independent research within the scientific community.  PHS has established effective, time tested and well recognized procedures for stimulating and supporting this independent research by selecting from multitudes of applications those research projects most worthy of support within the constraints of its appropriations.  The reimbursement through the indirect cost mechanism of independent research and development costs not incidental to product improvement would circumvent this competitive process.

To ensure that all research and development projects receive similar and equal consideration, all organizations may compete for direct funding of independent research and development projects they consider worthy of support by submitting those projects to the appropriate Public Health Service grant office for review.  Since these projects may be submitted for direct funding, the Contractor agrees that no costs for any independent research and development project, including all applicable indirect costs, will be claimed under this contract.

ARTICLE H.3.  HUMAN SUBJECTS

It is hereby understood and agreed that research involving human subjects shall not be conducted under this contract without the prior written approval of the Contracting Officer.

ARTICLE H.4.  NEEDLE EXCHANGE

a.                                       Pursuant to Public Law(s) cited in paragraph b., below, contract funds shall not be used to carry out any program of distributing sterile needles or syringes for the hypodermic injection of any illegal drug.

ARTICLE H.5.  SALARY RATE LIMITATION LEGISLATION PROVISIONS

a.                                       Pursuant to public law (s) cited in paragraph b., below, no NIH Fiscal Year funds may be used to pay the direct salary of an individual through this contract at a rate in excess of applicable amount shown for the fiscal year covered.  Direct salary is exclusive of fringe benefits, overhead, and general and administrative expenses (also referred to as “indirect cost” or “facilities and administrative (F&A) costs”).  Direct salary has the same meaning as the term “institutional base salary.”  An individual’s direct salary (or institutional base salary) is the annual compensation that the contractor pays for an individual’s appointment whether that individual’s time is spent on research, teaching, patient care or other activities.  Direct salary (or institutional base salary) excludes any income that an individual may be permitted to earn outside of duties to the contractor.  The per year salary rate limit also applies to individuals proposed under subcontracts.  It does not apply to fees paid to consultants.  If this is a multiple year contract, it may be subject to unilateral modifications by the Government if an individual’s salary rate exceeds any salary rate ceiling established in future HHS appropriation acts.

c.                                       Direct salaries, which will be paid with FY-04 funds, are limited to the Executive Level I rate that was in effect on the date(s) the expense was incurred.

*For contract expenditures using FY-04 funds, the Executive Level I rate for the period 10/1/03 - 12/31/03 is $171,900.  Effective 1/1/04, for contract expenditures using FY-04 funds, the Executive Level I rate is $175,700, and will remain at that level until such time as it is determined to raise the Executive Schedule annual rates.  See the web site listed below for Executive Schedule rates of pay.

The Contractor agrees to use its best efforts to perform the work specified in the Schedule and all obligations under this contract within the estimated cost, which, if this is a cost-sharing contract, includes both the Government’s and the Contractor’s share of the cost.

(b) The Schedule specifies the amount presently available for payment by the Government and allotted to this contract, the items covered, the Government’s share of the cost if this is a cost-sharing contract, and the period of performance it is estimated the allotted amount will cover. The parties contemplate that the Government will allot additional funds incrementally to the contract up to the full estimated cost to the Government specified in the Schedule, exclusive of any fee. The Contractor agrees to perform, or have performed, work on the contract up to the point at which the total amount paid and payable by the Government under the contract approximates but does not exceed the total amount actually allotted by the Government to the contract.

(c) The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing whenever it has reason to believe that the costs it expects to incur under this contract in the next 60 days, when added to all costs previously incurred, will exceed 75 percent of (1) the total amount so far allotted to the contract by the Government or, (2) if this is a cost-sharing contract, the amount then allotted to the contract by the Government plus the Contractor’s corresponding share. The notice shall state the estimated amount of additional funds required to continue performance for the period specified in the Schedule.

(d) Sixty days before the end of the period specified in the Schedule, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing of the estimated amount of additional funds, if any, required to continue timely performance under the contract or for any further period specified in the Schedule or otherwise agreed upon, and when the funds will be required.

(e) If, after notification, additional funds are not allotted by the end of the period specified in the Schedule or another agreed-upon date, upon the Contractor’s written request the Contracting Officer will terminate this contract on that date in accordance with the provisions of the Termination clause of this contract.

(f) Except as required by other provisions of this contract, specifically citing and stated to be an exception to this clause-

(1) The Government is not obligated to reimburse the Contractor for costs incurred in excess of the total amount allotted by the Government to this contract; and

24

(2) The Contractor is not obligated to continue performance under this contract (including actions under the Termination clause of this contract) or otherwise incur costs in excess of-

(i) The amount then allotted to the contract by the Government or;

(ii) If this is a cost-sharing contract, the amount then allotted by the Government to the contract plus the Contractor’s corresponding share, until the Contracting Officer notifies the Contractor in writing that the amount allotted by the Government has been increased and specifies an increased amount, which shall then constitute the total amount allotted by the Government to this contract.

(g) The estimated cost shall be increased to the extent that (1) the amount allotted by the Government or, (2) if this is a cost-sharing contract, the amount then allotted by the Government to the contract plus the Contractor’s corresponding share, exceeds the estimated cost specified in the Schedule. If this is a cost-sharing contract, the increase shall be allocated in accordance with the formula specified in the Schedule.

(h) No notice, communication, or representation in any form other than that specified in paragraph (f)(2) of this clause, or from any person other than the Contracting Officer, shall affect the amount allotted by the Government to this contract. In the absence of the specified notice, the Government is not obligated to reimburse the Contractor for any costs in excess of the total amount allotted by the Government to this contract, whether incurred during the course of the contract or as a result of termination.

(i) When and to the extent that the amount allotted by the Government to the contract is increased, any costs the Contractor incurs before the increase that are in excess of-

(1) The amount previously allotted by the Government or; (2) If this is a cost-sharing contract, the amount previously allotted by the Government to the contract plus the Contractor’s corresponding share, shall be allowable to the same extent as if incurred afterward, unless the Contracting Officer issues a termination or other notice and directs that the increase is solely to cover termination or other specified expenses.

(j) Change orders shall not be considered an authorization to exceed the amount allotted by the Government specified in the Schedule, unless they contain a statement increasing the amount allotted.

(k) Nothing in this clause shall affect the right of the Government to terminate this contract. If this contract is terminated, the Government and the Contractor shall negotiate an equitable distribution of all property produced or purchased under the contract, based upon the share of costs incurred by each.

(l) If the Government does not allot sufficient funds to allow completion of the work, the Contractor is entitled to a percentage of the fee specified in the Schedule equaling the percentage of completion of the work contemplated by this contract.
