1.3 Upon establishment of the scope of the individual requirement, the contractor shall then prepare his proposal for accomplishment of the task.

a. The Unit Price Book, Volume II, shall serve as the basis for establishing the value of the work to be performed on an unit price basis.

b. Non-priced work to be included in an individual requirement must be proposed by the contractor.

c. The contractor’s proposal must be supported by necessary documentation to indicate that adequate engineering and planning to accomplish the requirement has been done. Examples of documentation that might reasonably be expected would include drawings, calculations, catalog cuts, specifications, architectural renderings, etc. The contractor shall conform to US or Japanese code, whichever is stricter. The drawings must be signed by properly certified engineers. Costs for such documentation are assumed to be included in the total cost of the task order, which consists of sum of line item costs multiply with the coefficient and will not be paid for by the government.

The contractor is also required to submit other supporting documentation on an as necessary basis when requested by the Contracting Officer.

d. Time for submittal of the contractor’s proposal for individual requirements will be within

10 days upon receipt of Request for Proposal or as agreed upon by the government and the contractor.

1.4 Upon receipt of the contractor’s proposal, the government will review the proposal for completeness. However, the contractor is responsible for design deficiencies found during construction. The Government reserves the right to negotiate with the Contractor for any factors such as non-priced items, selection and its quantity of pre-priced items, work hours, and performance periods, and etc.

The Government will provide the initial submittal register. The schedule does not in any way limit the responsibility of the contractor to submit any materials specified in the technical specifications when called for by CO.

2.0 CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITIES: Notwithstanding the requirements contained in the Contract Clauses entitled “Specifications and Drawings for Construction”, the submittals referred to in this special contract requirements include all shop drawings, certificates of compliance, manufacturer’s literature, material samples, mix designs, guarantees, equipment data, and other information as specified under the various headings of these specifications. Prior to submission the contractor shall review and certify all submittals. CO has final approval authority for all submittals and reserves the right to review and require correction of any submittals. However, failure to do so does not constitute a waiver of any requirement of these specifications.

Each certificate shall be signed by an official authorized to certify on the behalf of the manufacturing company and shall contain the name and address of the contractor, the project manager, project name and location, and the quantity and date or dates of shipment or delivery to which the certificates apply. Copies of laboratory test reports submitted with certificates shall contain the name and address of the test laboratory and the date or dates of the tests to which the report applies.

Certification shall not be construed as relieving the contractor from furnishing satisfactory material, if, after test are performed on selected samples, the material is found not to meet the specific requirements.

4.0 DRAWINGS: Complete project package will consist of the approved final design drawings and documents with all final corrections, in both hardcopy and electronic format (AUTOCAD 14 or newer version format), with all additional construction requirements completed. Provide copies as required.

4.1 For technical review of working drawings:

a. One set of preliminary drawings on hardcopy. The SABER contractor shall include full names and signatures for the blocks titled “Designed”, “Drawn” and “Checked” on all sheets requiring signatures.

b. One set of preliminary drawings submitted in an electronic format (CD ROM) compatible format magnetic disks capable of retrieval and manipulation on Air Force equipment using AUTOCAD 14 or newer version software. Demonstration of acceptable retrieval on Air Force equipment is required for approval of the submittal. Drawing files shall be uncompressed or self-extracting. No second party compression software shall be used.

4.2 For final drawings:

a. Unless otherwise directed by the Contracting Officer, 3 sets of final drawings on ISO A1 hard copy. The SABER contractor shall include full names and signatures for the blocks titled “Designed”, “Drawn” and “Checked” on all sheets requiring signatures.

b. One set of final design drawings submitted in an electronic format (CD ROM) compatible format magnetic disks capable of retrieval and manipulation on Air Force equipment using AUTOCAD 14 or newer version software.
