If granted written permission by the Contracting Officer, or if it is specifically provided for <br />in the Schedule, the Contractor may use the Government property (except material) for a rental fee for <br />work other than that provided in paragraph (b) of this clause. Authorizing such use of the Government <br />property does not waive any rights of the Government to terminate the Contractor's right to use the <br />Government property. The rental fee shall be determined in accordance with the following paragraphs. <br />(d) General. <br />(1) Rental requests shall be submitted to the Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO), identify <br />the property for which rental is requested, propose a rental period, and compute an estimated <br />rental charge by using the Contractor's best estimate of rental time in the formulae described in <br />paragraph (e) of this clause. <br />(2) The Contractor shall not use Government property for nongovernmental purposes, including <br />Independent Research and Development, until a rental charge for real property, or estimated <br />rental charge for other property, is agreed upon. Rented property shall be used only on a <br />non-interference basis. <br />(e) Rental charge.— <br />(1) Real property and associated fixtures. <br />(i) The Contractor shall obtain, at its expense, a property appraisal from an independent <br />licensed, accredited, or certified appraiser that computes a monthly, daily, or hourly rental <br />rate for comparable commercial property. The appraisal may be used to compute rentals <br />under this clause throughout its effective period or, if an effective period is not stated in <br />the appraisal, for one year following the date the appraisal was performed. The Contractor <br />shall submit the appraisal to the ACO at least 30 days prior to the date the property is <br />needed for nongovernmental use. Except as provided in paragraph (e)(1)(iii) of this <br />clause, the ACO shall use the appraisal rental rate to determine a reasonable rental <br />charge. <br />(ii) Rental charges shall be determined by multiplying the rental time by the appraisal <br />rental rate expressed as a rate per hour. Monthly or daily appraisal rental rates shall be <br />divided by 720 or 24, respectively, to determine an hourly rental rate. <br />(iii) When the ACO believes the appraisal rental rate is unreasonable, the ACO shall <br />promptly notify the Contractor. The parties may agree on an alternative means for <br />computing a reasonable rental charge. <br />(iv) The Contractor shall obtain, at its expense, additional property appraisals in the same <br />manner as provided in paragraph (e)(1)(i) if the effective period has expired and the <br />Contractor desires the continued use of property for nongovernmental use. The <br />Contractor may obtain additional appraisals within the effective period of the current <br />Page: 27 of 216 <br />114 <br />
