(End of clause) LIMITATION OF GOVERNMENT'S OBLIGATION (a) This contract is incrementally funded. Of the total price for this contract, only the amount stated in the contract award document or subsequent modifications is presently available for payment and obligated under this contract. It is anticipated that from time to time, additional funds will be obligated under this contract by subsequent contract modifications until the contract is fully funded. The contemplated funding schedule is set forth in paragraph (j) of this clause. (b) The Contractor agrees to perform the contract up to the point at which the total amount paid and payable by the Government, including any amounts payable by the Government in the event of termination for convenience, approximates but does not exceed the total amount obligated pursuant to this clause. The Contractor is not authorized to continue work beyond that point. The Government's legal liability under this contract, inclusive of any amounts payable pursuant to the "Termination for the Government's convenience" clause (FAR 52.212-4(l)), is limited to the amount obligated pursuant to this clause. Any costs expended or incurred beyond the Government's limitation of obligation are solely at the Contractor's risk. (c) The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer by e-mail at least thirty days prior to the date when, in the Contractor's best judgment, the work will reach the point at which the total amount paid and payable by the Government, including any amounts payable by the Government in the event of termination for convenience, will approximate 80 percent of the total amount then obligated to the contract pursuant to this clause. The Contractor's notification shall state: (1) the estimated date when that point will be reached; and (2) an estimate of additional funding, if any, needed to continue performance of the contract up to the next scheduled date for obligation of funds identified in paragraph (j) of this clause, or to a mutually agreed upon substitute date. (d) When additional funds are obligated for continued performance of the contract, the contract will be modified to state the revised total of funds obligated to the contract and to indicate the period of contract performance which will be covered by the obligated funds. The provisions of paragraph (b) through (d) of this clause shall apply to the revised total of obligated funds and any agreed substitute date. (e) If, solely by reason of failure of the Government to obligate additional funds in amounts sufficient for the timely performance of the contract, the Contractor incurs additional costs or is delayed in the performance of work under this contract, and if additional funds are obligated to the contract, an equitable adjustment may be made to the price, time of delivery, or both. (f) Once a contract period (base period or option period) is fully funded, this clause shall become inoperative for the remainder of that contract period, except with regard to rights or obligations concerning equitable adjustments negotiated under paragraph (e) of this clause. This paragraph shall not preclude operation of the clause in any subsequent option period that is incrementally funded. (g) Nothing in this clause shall affect the Government's right to terminate the contract for convenience or cause, pursuant to "Termination for the Government's convenience" or "Termination for cause" clauses (FAR 52.212-4(l) and (m), respectively). (h) Nothing in this clause shall be construed as authorization of voluntary services whose acceptance is otherwise prohibited under 31 U.S.C. § 1342. (i) The terms of this clause shall apply to each option period of the contract that is exercised and incrementally funded. (j) The parties contemplate that the Government will obligate funds to this contract within two (2) weeks of the beginning of each fiscal year quarter (i.e. October, January, April and July).
