A. ADDED CLAUSES

CLAUSE B-26 PROTECTION OF POSTAL SERVICE BUILDINGS, EQUIPMENT, AND
VEGETATION (JANUARY 1997)

The supplier must use reasonable care to avoid damaging buildings, equipment,
and vegetation (such as trees, shrubs, and grass) on the Postal Service
installation. If the supplier fails to do so and damages any buildings,
equipment, or vegetation, the supplier must replace or repair the damage at
no expense to the Postal Service, as directed by the contracting officer. If
the supplier fails or refuses to make repair or replacement, the supplier
will be liable for the cost of repair or replacement, which may be deducted
from the contract price.

CLAUSE B-27 PERFORMANCE AT OCCUPIED POSTAL PREMISES (JANUARY 1997)

a. In performing this contract, the supplier must:
(1) Comply with applicable Occupational Safety and Health Standards (29
CFR 1910) promulgated pursuant to the authority of the Occupational Safety and
Health Act of 1970;
(2) Comply with any other applicable federal, state, or local regulations
governing work-place safety to the extent they do no conflict with a.1 above;
and
(3) Take all other proper precautions to protect the safety and health
of the supplier's employees, Postal Service employees, and the public.
b. The supplier must coordinate its use of the premises with the installation
head or other representative designated by the contracting officer. Subjects
of this coordination include the designation of work and storage areas; the
extent, if any, of use by the supplier of Postal Service tools and equipment;
the furnishing by the supplier of appropriate signs and barricades to exclude
unauthorized personnel from the work areas and to call attention to hazards
and dangers; and other matters relating to the protection of Postal Service
employees and property.

CLAUSE 7-4 INSURANCE (JANUARY 1997)

a. During the term of this contract and any extension, the supplier must
maintain at its own expense the insurance required by this clause. Insurance
companies must be acceptable to the Postal Service. Policies must include
all terms and provisions required by the Postal Service.

b. The supplier must maintain and furnish evidence of workers' compensation,
employers' liability insurance, and the following general public liability
and automobile liability insurance:

Schedule

c. Each policy must include substantially the following provision:
"It is a condition of this policy that the company furnish written notice to
the U.S. Postal Service 30 days in advance of the effective date of any
reduction in or cancellation of this policy."
b. The supplier must furnish a certificate of insurance or, if required by
the contracting officer, true copies of liability policies and manually
countersigned endorsements of any changes. Insurance must be effective, and
evidence of acceptable insurance furnished, before beginning performance
under this contract. Evidence of renewal must be furnished not later than
five days before a policy expires.
c. The maintenance of insurance coverage as required by this clause is a
continuing obligation, and the lapse or termination of insurance coverage
without replacement coverage being obtained will be ground for termination
for default:

(COR), responsible for the day-to-day administration of the contract, who
will serve as the Postal Service's point of contact with the supplier on all
routine technical and program management matters. The COR will be authorized
to issue and approve task orders under this contract in addition to the
