As prescribed in 45.106(108) insert the following clause:
SPECIAL MEASUREMENTS (Jul 2008) - DLAD
(a) In addition to the Government's rights under the provisions of DLAD clause 52.245-9022, Sized Items, the Government reserves the right to make size changes to include special measurement items. Special measurement items may be outside the range of the normal size tariff for that item. The Contractor will be responsible for adjustments to the Government-furnished patterns made necessary by the addition of special measurement items.
(b) Delivery of the special measurement items shall be to the location designated in the contract modification formalizing the change. The special measurement items shall arrive at the designated location within twelve (12) calendar days after the effective date of the contract modification.
(c) Any increased costs incurred by the Contractor as a result of a special measurement size change will be definitized by the Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO). Definitization shall be based on the following:
(1) Any increased costs for labor shall be limited to charges for special pattern grading and special cutting.
(2) Any adjustment (increase or decrease) for material usage will be based upon the Contractor's actual material usage.
(d) The total claim for an equitable adjustment under this clause shall not exceed 25% of the highest unit price for the corresponding item under this contract, exclusive of transportation costs. Failure to agree to any adjustment shall be a dispute under the Disputes clause. However, nothing in this clause shall excuse the Contractor from proceeding with the contract as changed.
