conditions, an equitable adjustment shall be made and the
contract modified in writing accordingly.

in such time, the Government may, by written notice to the
Contractor, terminate his right to proceed with the work or
such part of the work as to which there has been delay. In
such event the Government may take over the work and prose-
cute the same to completion, by contract or otherwise, and
may take possession of and utilize in completing the work
such materials, appliances, and plant as may be on the site
of the work and necessary therefor. Whether or not the
Contractor's right to proceed with the work is terminated, he
and his sureties shall be liable for any damage to the Govern-
ment resulting from his refusal or failure to complete the
work within the specified time.
(b) If fixed and agreed liquidated damages are provided

of such liquidated damages until such reasonable time as may
be required for final completion of the work together with
any increased costs occasioned the Government in complet-
ing the work.
(c) If fixed and agreed liquidated damages are provided
in the contract and if the Government does not so terminate
the Contractor's right to proceed, the resulting damage will
consist of such liquidated damages until the work is com-
pleted or accepted.
(d) The Contractor's right to proceed shall not be so ter-
minated nor the Contractor charged with resulting damage
if:
(1) The delay in the completion of the work arises from
unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the
fault or negligence of the Contractor, including but not
restricted to, acts of God, acts of the public enemy, acts of
the Government in either its sovereign or contractual ca-
pacity, acts of another contractor in the performance of a
contract with the Government, fires, floods, epidemics, quar-
antine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, unusually
severe weather, or delays of subcontractors or suppliers

ved For Release 2003/04/29
The Contracting Officer shall ascertain the facts and the ex-
tent of the delay and extend the time for completing the work
when, in his judgment, the findings of fact justify such an ex-
tension, and his findings of fact shall be final and conclusive
on the parties, subject only to appeal as provided in Clause 6
of these General Provisions.
(e) If, after notice of termination of the Contractor's right
to proceed under the provisions of this clause, it is determined
for any reason that the Contractor was not in default under
the provisions of this clause, or that the delay was excusable
under the provisions of this clause, the rights and obligations
of the parties shall, if the contract contains a clause provid-
ing for termination for convenience of the Government, be
the same as if the notice of termination had been issued pur-
suant to such clause. If, in the foregoing circumstances, this
contract does not contain a clause providing for termination
for convenience of the Government, the contract shall be
equitably adjusted to compensate for such termination and
the contract modified accordingly; failure to agree to any such
adjustment shall be a dispute concerning a question of fact
within the meaning of the clause of this contract entitled
"Disputes."
(f) The rights and remedies of the Government provided
in this clause are in addition to any other rights and remedies
provided by law or under this contract.
(g) As used in Paragraph (d) (1) of this clause, the term
"subcontractors or suppliers" means subcontractors or sup-
pliers at any tier.
6. DISPUTES
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this contract, any dis-
pute concerning a question of fact arising under this contract
which is not disposed of by agreement shall be decided by the
Contracting Officer, who shall reduce his decision to writing
and mail or otherwise furnish a copy thereof to the Contrac-
tor. The decision of the Contracting Officer shall be final and
conclusive unless, within 30 days from the date of receipt of
such copy, the Contractor mails or otherwise furnishes to the
Contracting Officer a written appeal addressed to the head of
the agency involved. The decision of the head of the agency
or his duly authorized representative for the determination of
such appeals shall be final and conclusive. This provision
shall not be pleaded in any suit involving a question of fact
arising under this contract as limiting judicial review of any
such decision to cases where fraud by such official or his rep-
resentative or board is alleged; Provided, however, That any
such decision shall be final and conclusive unless the same is
fraudulent or capricious or arbitrary or so grossly erroneous
as necessarily to imply bad faith or is not supported by sub-
stantial evidence. In connection with any appeal proceeding
under this clause, the Contractor shall be afforded an oppor-
tunity to be heard and to offer evidence in support of his ap-
peal. Pending final decision of a dispute hereunder, the Con-
tractor shall proceed diligently with the performance of the
contract and in accordance with the Contracting Officer's
decision.
(b) This Disputes clause does not preclude consideration of
questions of law in connection with decisions provided for
in paragraph (a) above. Nothing: in this contract, however,
shall be construed as making final the decision of any admin-
istrative official, representative, or board on a question of law.

ria been completed; nag Vir satisfactory progress is
being made, he may authorize payment in full of each progre 3S

tor all or a portion of such excess amount. Furthermore, on

work, or other division of the contract, on which the price is
stated separately in the contract, payment may be made ther
for without retention of a percentage.
(d) All material and work covered by progress paymen
made shall thereupon become the sole property of the Go-/-
ernment, but this provision shall not be construed as r
lieving the Contractor from the sole responsibility for all
material and work upon which payments have been made or
the restoration of any damaged work. or as waiving the
right of the Government to require the fulfillment of all
of the terms of the contract.
(e) Upon completion and acceptance of all work, the amount

the presentation of a properly executed voucher and after

a release may also be required of the assignee.
8. ASSIGNMENT OF CLAIMS

after provided.
(b) The Government will make progress payments monthly

the Contracting Officer. If requested by the Contracting
Officer, the Contractor shall furnish a breakdown of the total
contract price showing the amount included therein for each
principal category of the work, in such detail as requested, to
provide a basis for determining progress payments. In the
preparation of estimates the Contracting Officer, at his dis-
cretion, may authorize material delivered on the site and pre-
paratory work done to be taken into consideration. Material
delivered to the Contractor at locations other than the site
may also be taken into consideration (1) if such consideration
is specifically authorized by the contract and (2) if the Con-

crease in the cost of performance of this contract (excluding

delay, or interruption and the contract modified in writing
