            TITLE 48--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATIONS SYSTEM
 
               CHAPTER 15--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
 
Sec. 1552.217-71  Option to extend the term of the contract--cost-type 

contract.

    As prescribed in 1517.208(b), insert this contract clause in cost-
reimbursement type term form contracts when applicable. If only one 
option period is used, enter ``NA'' in the proper places of the clause. 
If more than two option periods apply, the clause may be modified 
accordingly.

Option To Extend the Term of the Contract--Cost-Type Contract (APR 1984)

    The Government has the option to extend the term of this contract 
for ------ additional period(s). If more than 60 days remain in the 
contract period of performance, the Government, without prior written 
notification, may exercise this option by issuing a contract 
modification. To exercise this option within the last 60 days of the 
period of performance, the Government must provide to the Contractor 
written notification prior to that last 60-day period. This preliminary 
notification does not commit the Government to exercising the option. 
The Government's estimated level of effort is ------ direct labor hours 
for the first option period and ------ for the second. Use of an option 
will result in the following contract modifications:
    (a) The ``Period of Performance'' clause will be amended to cover a 
base period from ---- to ---- and option periods from ---- to ---- and 
---- to ----.
    (b) Paragraph (a) of the ``Level of Effort'' clause will be amended 
to reflect a new and separate level of effort of ---- for the first 
option period and a new and separate level of effort of ---- for the 
second option period.

    (c) The ``Estimated Cost and Fixed Fee'' clause will be amended to 
reflect increased estimated costs and fixed fee for each option period 
as follows:

    Total.........................................  .........  .........
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (d) If the contract contains ``not to exceed amounts'' for elements 
of other direct costs (ODC), those amounts will be increased as follows:

                                                   ---------------------
