            TITLE 48--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATIONS SYSTEM
 
     CHAPTER 30--DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY, HOMELAND SECURITY 
                      ACQUISITION REGULATION (HSAR)
 
Sec. 3052.217-100  Guarantee (USCG).

    As prescribed in USCG guidance at (HSAR) 48 CFR 3017.9000(c), insert 
the following clause:

                       Guarantee (USCG) (JUN 2006)

    (a) In the event any work performed or materials furnished by the 
contractor prove defective or deficient within 60 days from the date of 
redelivery of the vessel(s), the Contractor, as directed by the 
Contracting Officer and at its own expense, shall correct and repair the 
deficiency to the satisfaction of the Contracting Officer.
    (b) If the Contractor or any subcontractor has a guarantee for work 
performed or materials furnished that exceeds the 60 day period, the 
Government shall be entitled to rely upon the longer guarantee until its 
expiration.
    (c) With respect to any individual work item identified as 
incomplete at the time of redelivery of the vessel(s), the guarantee 
period shall run from the date the item is completed.
    (d) If practicable, the Government shall give the Contractor an 
opportunity to correct the deficiency.
    (1) If the Contracting Officer determines it is not practicable or 
is otherwise not advisable to return the vessel(s) to the Contractor, or 
the Contractor fails to proceed with the repairs promptly, the 
Contracting Officer may direct that the repairs be performed elsewhere, 
at the Contractor's expense.
    (2) If correction and repairs are performed by other than the 
Contractor, the Contracting Officer may discharge the Contractor's 
liability by making an equitable deduction in the price of the contract.
    (e) The Contractor's liability shall extend for an additional 60-day 
guarantee period on those defects or deficiencies that the Contractor 
corrected.
    (f) At the option of the Contracting officer, defects and 
deficiencies may be left uncorrected. In that event, the Contractor and 
Contracting Officer shall negotiate an equitable reduction in the 
contract price. Failure

to agree upon an equitable reduction shall constitute a dispute under 
the Disputes clause of this contract.

                             (End of clause)
