Overview

While the spending cuts mandated under Budget Control Act of

2011 were delayed by two months under the recently signed

American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, near term federal

budgetary cuts remain very likely. As a result, government

contractors should be prepared for prospects of increased

contract terminations in 2013 and beyond.

Gunjan Talati and Joelle Laszlo of Reed Smith and Susan Moser

and Mike LaCorte of Cherry Bekaert will discuss federal contract

terminations, best practices pertaining to contract terminations,

and steps contractors can take to ensure maximum cost recovery

should their contract(s) be terminated.

Where

 

Can

 

Terminations

 

Enter

 

Into

 

the

 

Contract

 

Lifecycle?

The potential for terminations, both for convenience and default, arise before a contract is awarded.

 The RFP usually contains the applicable clauses which will be incorporated into a contract.

 The RFP terms and conditions should be thoroughly reviewed in order to fully understand what a contractor is signing up for.

Typically, clauses incorporated into the contract provide for the administration of a termination (in the event the

Government decides to terminate a contract).

The exclusion of clauses allowing for contract terminations does not preclude the Government from terminating a contract.

Lifecycle

 

(Cont.)?

G.L. Christian and Associates v. US– Informally known as the Christian Doctrine

The case held that a mandatory clause will be “read in” to a government contract, even if the clause was omitted from the contract.

A 1993 ruling further clarified the impact of the Doctrine by asserting that it only applied to those contract clauses which are essential to public procurement activities.

No established rulings or promulgations under the CDA exist as of this time that apply Christian doctrine principles to subcontractors if a prime omits clauses.

 Important: make sure termination clauses are flowed down to help ensure the promulgated rules under FAR Part 49 apply to your subcontractors.

What

 

is

 

a

 

Notice

 

of

 

Termination?

The contracting officer shall terminate contracts for convenience or default via written notice to the contractor.

The notice shall include the following information:

 The contract clause authorizing the termination;

 The effective date of termination;

 Extent of termination;

 Any special instructions; and

 The steps the contractor should take to minimize the impact on personnel if it will result in a drastic reduction in the contractor’s work force.

Settlement

 

Proposals

A subcontractor has no contractual rights against the Government when a prime contract is terminated.

Subcontractors may or may not have rights against the prime contractor or lower-tier subcontractor with whom it has contracted.

 Flowing down termination clauses to subcontractors helps mitigate prime contractor liability.

Upon termination of a prime contract, the prime contractor and each subcontractor are responsible for prompt settlement with their immediate subcontractors.

In unusual cases and with consent from the prime, the Government may assist in the settlement of subcontracts. Source: FAR Part 49.108-1, 49.108-7

Traditional Government Contracts—Cost-Based Formula

The Government uses a “fair compensation” principle, which generally provides for:

 allowable costs incurred in the performance of the work,

 reasonable profit for work performed,

 reasonable settlement expenses, and

 certain continuing (post-termination) costs. Source: FAR Part 49.201(a)

FAR Part 12 Commercial Item Contracts—Modified Price-Based Formula

A contractor’s recovery for the termination for convenience of a FAR Part 12 contract for commercial items is composed of two elements:

 the percentage of the contract price reflecting the percentage of the work performed prior to the notice of the termination, and

 any charges the contractor can demonstrate resulted directly from the termination.

(15)

Strategies

 

for

 

Maximizing

 

Termination

 

Recovery

Determine whether a cancellation is a breach of contract.

If there is a breach of contract, contractors are not bound by the FAR cost principles pertaining to terminations or the requirements of FAR Part 49, and could therefore increase recovery.

 Difficult to prove breach of contract because of wide latitude afforded to the Government.

19

Strategies

 

for

 

Maximizing

 

Termination

 

Recovery

 

(Cont.)

Fair Compensation

Fair compensation dictates that if the disallowance of a cost would not be fair, the cost should be claimed within the termination proposal.

 Should be sought regardless of treatment mandated by the cost principles.

 Detailed explanations of costs sought for recovery under the fair compensation standard increase the likelihood of recovery.

(16)

Strategies

 

for

 

Maximizing

 

Termination

 

Recovery

 

(Cont.)

Direct and Indirect Cost Charging

Terminations tend to lend themselves to situations where costs which are traditionally indirect in nature are treated like direct costs.

 Example: HR personnel who work to reassign displaced workers under the terminated contract.

Direct cost assignment to cost objectives is preferable to indirect allocation and may increase recovery.

Cost accounting records must be adjusted to accurately reflect any reclassifications of direct and indirect costs.

21

Strategies

 

for

 

Maximizing

 

Termination

 

Recovery

 

(Cont.)

Frontload Profit

Profit can be viewed as earned unevenly through the contract.

 For example, contracts which require significant efforts in the beginning of the contract.

DFARS provides weighted guidelines (DFARS 215.4).

The weighted guidelines considers cost efficiency, performance risk, contract type risk, and other factors.

(17)

Strategies

 

for

 

Maximizing

 

Termination

 

Recovery

 

(Cont.)

Requests for Equitable Adjustment (“REA”)

Effective for partially terminated fixed price work.

If there is an increased cost in performing non-terminated work, and REA is appropriate for non-terminated work. Effective Record Keeping

Record all costs associated with the termination in a separate accounting system project.

Maintain adequate records on profitability projections to help thwart potential loss adjustments.

 FAR 52.249-10

(19)

Common

 

T4D

 

Triggers

 

Failure to deliver or perform

 Failure to deliver on date specified

• T4D may be made immediately, no notice required • Applies even if contract calls for incremental delivery • Possible excuse is government “waived” delivery date

 Failure to comply with technical specifications

• Government is entitled to demand strict compliance – even minor deviations may be cause for T4D

• Refusal to correct flaws in performance also grounds

27

Common

 

T4D Triggers

 

(Cont.)

Failure to make adequate progress in performance

 In commercial item contracts: “[failure to] provide . . ., upon request, . . . adequate assurances of performance”

 In supply and service contracts: “failure to make progress so as to endanger contract performance”

 In construction contracts: “[failure to] prosecute the work . . . with the diligence that will ensure its completion within the time specified”

(20)

Common

 

T4D Triggers

 

(Cont.)

Failure to perform “any of the other provisions of the contract”

 Applies to fixed-price supply and service contracts

 Provision(s) at issue must constitute significant contract requirement

 Cure notice required

Failure to comply with a FAR clause regulating contractor business or labor practices

 Examples include Davis-Bacon Act, Gratuities Clause

One

 

Not

So

Common

 

T4D

 

Trigger

Contractor’s anticipatory breach

 Available under common law (not a FAR creation)

 Contractor’s repudiation may be express or implied

 Arises when there is a “positive, definite, unconditional, and unequivocal manifestation of intent . . . on the part of a contractor . . . not to render the promised performance when the time fixed by the contract shall arrive”

(21)

Common

 

Excuses

 

for

 

Failure

 

to

 

Perform

Excusable delay

 Examples in commercial item FAR clause:

• Acts of God or the public enemy, acts of government, natural disasters and unusually severe weather, common carrier delays

• Contractor must provide written notice “as soon as it is reasonably possible”

 Examples in supply and service and construction contract FAR clause:

• Nearly identical to those in commercial item clause

• Written notice required in construction context but not in supply and service context

31

Common

 

Excuses

 

for

 

Failure

 

to

 

Perform (Cont.)

 Additional excusable delay example in supply and service and construction contract FAR clause:

• Default of a subcontractor at any tier, provided

– Cause of default is beyond contractor’s and subcontractor’s control

AND

– Default is not the result of contractor or subcontractor fault or negligence

 Additional excusable delay example only in construction contract FAR clause:

Common

 

Excuses

 

for

 

Failure

 

to

 

Perform (Cont.)

“Other” delays

 Constructive change in scope or nature of performance due to government’s action or inaction

 Award delay that hinders start of performance

 Payment delays

 Unreasonable delays in providing necessary approvals

 Provision of late or defective specifications

 Failure to disclose vital information

 Failure to cooperate

33

Common

 

Excuses

 

for

 

Failure

 

to

 

Perform (Cont.)

Contractor‘s substantial performance

 “Substantial compliance” in supply contracts

• Requires: (1) timely tender of goods reasonably believed to conform; and (2) defects in delivered goods are minor and correctable in a reasonable time

 “Substantial performance” in service contracts

• Highly case-specific

 “Substantial completion” in construction contracts

• One test requires that incomplete items: (1) do not affect the overall functionality of the project; (2) constitute no more than a minor inconvenience; and (3) do not substantially defeat the object of the parties’ bargain

(23)

Common

 

Excuses

 

for

 

Failure

 

to

 

Perform (Cont.)

Government’s waiver of right to terminate

 Contractor must show

• Government failed to terminate within a reasonable time after the default

AND

• Contractor continued to perform in reliance on government’s failure to terminate

 More significant (and potentially successful) defense in supply contract scenarios than construction contract ones

35

Common

 

Excuses

 

for

 

Failure

 

to

 

Perform (Cont.)

Waiver versus forbearance

 Government is entitled to “reasonable period” of time to decide what to do when a contractor defaults

• “Reasonable” is highly case-specific

 Contractor must continue performance

 At end of forbearance period government may

• Unilaterally set new delivery schedule or • Agree with contractor on new delivery schedule

(24)

Procedural

 

Aspects

 

of

 

a

 

T4D

Cure notice

 Written notice from contracting officer (“CO”) seeking correction of failure to make progress or perform

 Contractor generally gets ten days to cure defects

 Cure notice not required if:

• Fewer than ten days remain before performance is due

37

Procedural

 

Aspects

 

of

 

a

 

T4D (Cont.)

Show cause notice

 Written notice issued by CO when there is insufficient time (e.g., fewer than ten days) to cure performance failures
