3.2.5 Pricing

3.2.5.1 Definitions

a) Unit Price Book (UPB): The list and price information for all pre-priced items covered in this contract. The UPB shall include the base cost pricing from the RSMeans Assemblies, RSMeans Facilities Cost Data and the RSMeans Master Composite Cost Data Guides – consisting of Building Construction, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing, Green Book, Interior, Site Work & Landscape, Concrete & Masonry and Heavy Construction Cost Data. The UPB shall also include RSMeans trades line items, selective demolition line items, removal and replacement line items, average line items, and Government Furnished Materials line items.

b) Line item: An item or system denoted in the UPB by a unique line item number.

c) Bare costs: The cost of a line item without any multiplier.

d) Multipliers: All factors added to the bare cost pricing of the UPB. This includes the City Cost Index (CCI) and the Contractor’s coefficients.

e) Pre-priced line item: A line item from the UPB with approved changes.

f) Non-pre-priced line item (NPI): A line item that is not a pre-priced line item. All NPIs must have at least two (2) non-affiliated contractor quotes prior to consideration.

g) Selective demolition line item: The removal of material with no concern for its replacement. If a line item can be found in the UPB for selective demolition, that line item will be used. If there is no line item for selective demolition, the Contractor will locate the line item in the UPB. Then the Contractor will create an alternate pre-priced line item removing the cost for the material and equipment, and the remaining labor amount will be multiplied by 50%. This will be used as the means to demolish that item. This line item will be pre-priced. If the line item cannot be found in the UPB, the demolition will be an NPI.

h) Government Furnished Materials (GFM): On occasion, the government may choose to supply the Contractor with materials to accomplish project requirements. If this occurs, the line item prices for labor and equipment only will be used. They are considered as pre-priced. The Contractor will not adjust the labor and equipment pricing. The materials are to be cared for by the Contractor, and excess materials are to be returned to the government.

i) All prices in the UPB are for completed and in-place construction unless explicitly described otherwise. Incidental fasteners, such as, nails, screws, bolts, weldments, connectors, and adhesives are included in the bare material cost. Unless specifically omitted in the UPB line item description, testing, adjusting, balancing, and start-up of installed equipment is included in the unit price line number cost found in the UPB. Line items are for end finishes. For example, the line item price for concrete broom finish included all finishes necessary to result in the broom finish.

j) The UPB prices certain line items with a “Minimum labor/equipment charge.” This minimum charge is often the price a tradesman would charge to make a special visit to perform that work. If the contractor is already on-site and the minimum is met, then this item shall not be used as an adjustment to the Unit Price line items.

k) All line item prices assume the installation of the material under normal working conditions. This includes working from scaffolding when appropriate. In other words, the productivity for brick veneer is based upon working not only from the ground, but also from working on scaffolding. Therefore unless the division has specific height exceptions, no allowance or change to the unit price is required for working at different heights. The cost to rent and erect the scaffolding is required. All scaffolding line items are based upon a one month rental of the scaffolding. Scaffolding is measured by the square foot of face area where the work is being performed (working height in feet multiplied by the length of the wall in feet) or, in the case of when scaffolding must be erected inside a structure in order to access the ceiling, by the cubic feet (volume) of the actual scaffolding components. Scaffolding is priced separately. There are line items for the material costs and line items for erection/dismantling. It is not appropriate to use the scaffolding line items separately for each subcontractor. Scaffolding should be applied to the job cost once, and the subcontractors are “allowed” to use it.

l) Line items for mobilization and demobilization are for one or the other unless noted otherwise. Normally, a piece of equipment will need to be mobilized and demobilized. Therefore, the line item would normally be included twice per piece of equipment used. Small equipment placed in rear of truck or towed by a pickup truck is limited to those items included in the RSMeans crews.

3.2.5.2 Cost Estimating Software Requirements

a) The Contractor shall purchase and maintain, for the Government, sufficient licenses of e4Clicks Professional Project Estimator software. These licenses are for up to 35 government personnel on Schriever AFB (SAFB) and shall remain the property of the Government.

b) The Contractor shall purchase, maintain, and use the latest version of e4Clicks Professional Project Estimator for the life of this contract.

c) Information on this software and pricing can be obtained by emailing sales@4clicks.com; let them know this is for the SAFB Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC). Government Service Administration (GSA) pricing is available for this contract with written consent from the Contracting Officer.

d) Licenses provided shall include technical support to remedy any problems associated with the installation of the estimating software and associated databases. Licensed software shall be fully operational within twenty-one (21) calendar days of contract award.

e) Over the life of the contract, Contractor shall provide training courses in the Colorado Springs area, as indicated below, to familiarize Government personnel with the e4Clicks software and cost estimating function. Contractor shall purchase the training through sales@4clicks.com and classes shall be taught by a certified e4Clicks instructor.

1) General software training: Initial for all personnel. Annual refresher for 10 personnel.

2) Discipline specific training: Annual. Two personnel per discipline (Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Architect, Construction Managers, Assemblies).

3.2.5.4. Construction Fee

a) Pre-priced Line Items: Bare cost line items from the Unit Price Book (UPB) shall be summated with the CCI applied as described above. The appropriate coefficient shall then be applied to the total. This is the pre-priced line item total.

b) Non-Prepriced Line Items: The non-prepriced line items shall be summated to obtain the non-prepriced line item total. All NPIs must have at least two (2) non-affiliated contractor quotes prior to consideration. The Contracting Officer (CO) shall determine the final NPI pricing.

c) Total Labor Costs: Shall be calculated separately from the labor cost given in the e4Clicks prepriced line item. The Contractor shall multiple necessary labor-hours by the prevailing wage labor rate in Colorado Springs for the proper craftsman. Each estimating division shall have the labor cost calculated and added to the SATOC Bid Template, Attachment 2.

d) Non-RA SATOC Coefficient: This includes all indirect costs. The following are examples of line items to include, but not limited to, the following:

1) Project Management and Coordination, excluded in its entirety.

2) Construction Progress Documentation, excluded in its entirety.

3) Regulatory Requirements, excluded in its entirety.
