Download or read book The Inadequacy of Existing Far Provisions to Ensure Contractor Environmental Compliance written by Edward Bryan MacDonald and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis focuses on situations where the obligation is on the contractor, and examines the existing FAR provisions and clauses to explore whether they are adequate to ensure government contractor compliance with environmental laws. For example, the contract clause at FAR 52.223-2, Clean Air and Water, mandatory in contracts expected to exceed $100,000, requires the contractor to agree, among other things, to comply with certain specified sections of the Clean Water Act and Clean Air Act; and to use best efforts to comply with clean air standards and clean water standards at the facility where the contract will be performed. One issue this thesis will examine is whether this clause is sufficiently broad, or should be expanded to require compliance with other environmental laws. Chapter 1 examines FAR part 23, which deals directly with environmental compliance responsibilities. Chapter 2 explores contractor liability under the False Claims Act for false certifications by a contractor that it fully complied with either the contract requirements or all laws and regulations. The remainder of the thesis will examine other FAR provisions and clauses which can be used to ensure contractor environmental compliance, or to deter noncompliance. Chapter 3 looks at suspension, debarment, and EPA Listing as tools to ensure compliance. Chapter 4 examines a number of miscellaneous contract provisions and clauses having relevance in the environmental compliance arena. Finally, chapter 5 sets out the shortcomings of the FAR identified by this author, and proposes a number of suggested changes to the FAR, designed to clarify the environmental compliance obligations of contractors performing federal government contracts.
Download or read book An Investigation of Contracting Guidance Relevant to Environmental Policy Development for Government Owned Contractor Operated GOCO Facilities written by Robert J. Gingell and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Air Force Government Owned-Contractor Operate facilities are required to comply with all applicable environmental laws and requirements. The lack of environmental requirements and delineation of environmental responsibilities and liabilities in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and GOCO contracts, coupled with increasing environmental legislation and compliance costs, has created a challenge that Mr. Gary Vest refers to as one of the most significant currently facing the Air Force.. This thesis identified environmental contracting guidance that could reduce the apparent disparity between environmental and government contract law to help Air Force decision makers develop GOCO facilities environmental contracting policy. Relevant literature was used to develop a research plan using a Delphi survey. The survey collected opinions from selected Air Force environmental, legal, and contracting experts. An analysis of these experts' opinions generated environmental contracting guidelines and suggested further research to refine GOCO facility-environmental contracting policy. This guidance reflected contracting aspects involving specification methods, compensation methods, identification, permits, the Federal Acquisition Regulation, and contractor qualifications ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed: (1) the Department of Defense's (DOD) environmental compliance projects funded as construction or repair; (2) DOD's criteria for determining which appropriation account is used for programming funds; (3) the process for programming funds; and (4) reporting on future funding requirements. GAO noted that: (1) the basis for determining which funding source should be used for funding environmental compliance construction and repair projects is set forth in laws and regulations; (2) the law requires military construction appropriations to be used for all construction projects costing over $500,000; (3) the law defines construction as the creation of complete and usable new facilities or complete and usable improvements to existing facilities on military installations; (4) in general, operation and maintenance appropriations are available to fund construction projects costing less than $500,000 and repairs of any value; (5) other appropriations such as research, development, test, and evaluation, may also be used in appropriate circumstances; (6) the programming process for environmental compliance construction or repair activities varies according to the project funding source; (7) under the process, the level of project justification detail that DOD provides to Congress is greater for military construction projects than for projects funded under other appropriations; (8) in general, any military construction project, including environmental compliance projects, is programmed, reviewed, budgeted, and funded individually; (9) projects to be funded from operation and maintenance appropriations are rolled up into a single amount for budgeting and funding purposes; (10) the law permits some smaller value military construction projects to be carried out as unspecified minor construction; (11) these are budgeted as a single amount; (12) DOD has made some improvements to its annual compliance reporting by identifying specific projects that will cost over $300,000; (13) DOD has improved the detailed budget information provided to Congress by identifying recurring and nonrecurring compliance costs by appropriation; and (14) however, information provided to Congress in this report does not identify proposed construction and repair projects costing over $300,000 and their funding sources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tcl language and Tk graphical toolkit are simple and powerful building blocks for custom applications. The Tcl/Tk combination is increasingly popular because it lets you produce sophisticated graphical interfaces with a few easy commands, develop and change scripts quickly, and conveniently tie together existing utilities or programming libraries.One of the attractive features of Tcl/Tk is the wide variety of commands, many offering a wealth of options.

Thus, you'll find that a command or option probably exists to provide just what you need.And that's why it's valuable to have a quick reference that briefly describes every command and option in the core Tcl/Tk distribution as well as the most popular extensions. Keep this book on your desk as you write scripts, and you'll be able to find almost instantly the particular option you need.Most chapters consist of alphabetical listings.

Download or read book Incentivizing the Government Contractor to Environmentally Innovate written by Walter Crawford Roberts and published by . This book was released on 1996-12-01 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experts in both government and industry have long advocated the need to go beyond basic compliance with command and control laws and regulations. One specific area that can also benefit from beyond-compliance efforts is government procurement. In most cases their contracts are governed by one set of rules, the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR). This article will explore the alternatives the Federal Government can use to incentivize contractors to go beyond-compliance. Beyond-compliance environmental innovation means reducing emissions from contractor factories, establishing environmentally friendly practices and devising engineering changes to the products they create that will benefit the environment and the Government for years to come. Environmental innovation in products and services bought by the government can be more productive than changes made only in factories and other stationary sources government contractors control.
