The Connection Charge Agreement outlines the terms between ABC Construction (Contractor) and XYZ Utility Contractor (Utility Owner) for connecting facilities to existing utility systems at a U.S. Government installation. This agreement is part of the Department of Defense's utilities privatization program, where the Utility Owner operates and maintains the utility systems under a separate contract with the Government. Key provisions include statements of work, schedules, pricing, payment, and special conditions. Significantly, disputes between the Contractor and Utility Owner are resolved solely between them, separate from the Construction Contract or UP Contract. The agreement clarifies that connecting facilities under a connection charge fall under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 41 (utility services) and are not considered a construction subcontract. The document stresses the importance of signing this agreement before work commences to prevent government ownership of new utility infrastructure, which would lead to a burdensome transfer of ownership process. It also advises against direct contracts between military facilities and the Utility Owner for new infrastructure to ensure DLA Energy is informed, proper funding is secured, and all work remains within the scope of the UP contract.
