Table 1: Phase-In Period

LIMITED PERFORMANCE PERIOD REQUIRED CAPABILITY

(Cumulative Value of Work Awarded)

Award date up to 30 days: $400,000

1.4 PROJECT ESTIMATING/DESIGN ORDERING PROCEDURE

1.4.1 Intent of Design/Estimating: It is not the Government’s intent to have the Contractor provide an estimating service for projects that have no SABER construction consideration.

However, the Government is not obligated to issue a task order for the construction work described in the completed project estimate.

1.4.2 Notice of Requirement: As the need exists for design and/or project estimating under the terms of this contract, the CO will notify the Contractor of the requirement by issuing a task order for the work.

1.4.2.1 When ordering design and or cost proposal services, such notification will include a project number, project title, statement of objectives, general scope of work, magnitude of project, any statutory limitations, special instructions, and conditions that may exist with respect to the work. The Contractor shall be responsible for preparing a detailed proposal by identifying tasks required, conducting an asbestos/lead-based paint (LBP) survey as necessary, preparing drawings, developing performance times, and furnishing the finalized design to the CO for approval. The Contractor shall prepare a detailed cost proposal in the specified format by listing quantities of individual work elements needed, specify non-priced line items, and submit to the CO for evaluation/negotiation. The applicable design/estimating CLIN fee shall cover the costs for this effort.

1.4.3 Revised Design Task Orders and Government-Requested Redesign

1.4.3.1 If within the initial three task periods (Tasks and their respective performance periods are depicted in Table 3, Period Performance Time), the Government may inform the contractor of the intent to provide a revised SOO without incurring a redesign fee. The task order shall be suspended until the Government provides the revised SOO package, at which time Task 4 will begin.

1.4.3.2 Once the first three task periods have been completed and Task 4 has commenced (see Table 3: Period Performance Time for the task descriptions) and the Government wishes to revise the SOO, the contractor may request a redesign fee. The task order shall be suspended until the Government provides the revised SOO package, at which time Task 4 and its respective performance period will restart.

1.4.3.3 The redesign fee will only apply to government requested significant scope changes, not for errors in contractor design.

1.4.3.4 The Government's acceptance of the design does not relieve the contractor or their Designers of Record from flaws, deficiencies, or violations within the design. Additionally, any requirement to correct the design, or any related construction, shall be at no cost to the Government.

1.4.4 Magnitude of Project

1.4.4.1 The Contractor shall promptly advise the CO and provide a rationale and Rough Order of Magnitude if the project being designed is or is likely to exceed the specified project magnitude.

1.4.4.2 The project magnitude ranges shall be defined as shown below in Table 2:

Table 2: Project Magnitude Ranges

1 $ 15,000 TO $500,000

It is the sole responsibility of the Contractor to request in writing to the Contracting Officer specific drawings or technical documents to review. All available as-builts will be provided to the Contractor. The Contractor shall field verify all provided as-builts as well as existing field conditions prior to accomplishing any design work. Contractor shall submit requests for information to utilize proposed alternative means of accomplishing the project. The Contractor has five (5) business days after the site visit to notify the Government of any additional information needed for the submission of proposals.

1.4.8 Environmental Survey: The Contractor shall accomplish an exhaustive asbestos/LBP survey, as necessary based on project scope, through a certified environmental consultant. The Contractor shall accomplish all work in compliance with all applicable Federal, State, and local regulations. All environmental survey tests shall be included in the Contractor’s design fee based on each individual task order. No additional compensation shall be paid to the Contractor for asbestos or lead based paint testing; this will be covered under the appropriate design/estimating CLIN.

1.4.9 Construction Cost Proposal: Upon completion of the refined scope of the individual requirement, including the finalized drawings and Statement of Work, whether Contractor or Government generated, the Contractor shall prepare a detailed cost proposal by identifying tasks, preparing drawings, refining quantities of both pre-priced and non-pre-priced items (NPI), pricing NPIs, developing performance times, and preparing a completed proposal document for submission to the Contracting Officer.

1.4.9.1 Contractor’s Coefficient: The purpose of the Contractor’s coefficient is to capture most common, recurring project costs within a single figure in order to simplify and reduce repetitiveness in cost proposals. All cost proposals submitted will reflect the coefficient factor in effect at the time of submission. The Contractor’s Coefficient includes common, recurring project costs as outlined below.

1.4.9.1.1 COEFFICIENT: A numerical factor that represents costs (generally indirect costs) not considered to be included in Construction Task Catalog (CTC) unit prices, e.g. general and administrative and other overhead costs, insurance costs, bonding and alternative payment protection costs, protective clothing, sales tax and compliance with tax laws and contractor’s and subcontractor’s profit. Contingent costs, such as labor rate changes and inflation in future years are also covered in the coefficient. Coefficients proposed by offerors are multiplied by the Government-established unit prices in the Construction Task Catalog (Commonly referred to as a Unit Price Book) to price a job or project on individual task orders. The Coefficient(s) proposed by the offeror and accepted by the Government are incorporated in SABER. The contractor’s price coefficient must include the following:

• Contractor’s overhead and profit

• Subcontractors’ overhead and profit

• Insurance

• All costs associated with bonding (specifically including bond premiums)

• Employee payroll taxes, insurance, and fringe benefits

• All taxes, contributions, memberships, corporate headquarters support (legal, financial, etc.)

• Sales tax on material and equipment costs

• All waste and excess material

• Daily clean up

• Mobilization and close out for the total contract and each task order

• Compliance with environmental laws (overhead [indirect] costs associated with performing work in compliance with EPA/OSHA regulations, including obtaining any necessary licenses and permits, reporting requirements, etc.)

• Quality control

• Office management and equipment

• Office and management personnel

• Office space

• Office supplies

• Employee transportation

• Project trailer

• Project Equipment & Supplies

• Portable toilets for Contractor’s Use

• Construction vehicles

• Personnel safety equipment

• Depreciation of mobile office(s)

• Interest associated with funding of equipment and payroll

• Cost of financing the work

• Preparation and modification of sketches, drawings, submittals, as-built drawings, and other project records.

• Permits, licenses, and fees, including Services required to obtain any filings and permits.

• Include testing, calibration, balancing and the like required to ensure proper installation, construction and performance.

1.4.9.1.2 “The Big Note” of the CTC shall be construed as guidance for the proper use and applications of Unit Price line items used for the Cost proposal.

1.4.9.1.3 Material costs in the CTC include an allowance for waste. Quantities used on individual task order proposals shall be taken from field measurements or design plans, as appropriate, without allowance for any waste.

1.4.9.1.4 Large vehicular construction equipment associated costs are excluded from the contractor’s coefficient.

1.4.9.1.5 Traffic control measures such as flaggers, steel plates, etc. are excluded from the contractor’s coefficient.

1.4.9.1.6 Security fencing and related expenses for secure construction sites are excluded from the contractor's coefficient.

1.4.9.1.7 Cost differences due to location: Due to the remote locations of Creech AFB, Range 63, and Point Bravo, an increase in labor, transportation and other costs is expected. In order to account for these price differences, the Contractor shall use location-specific design fees and coefficients. One set of design fees and coefficients shall be used exclusively for projects at Nellis AFB, and another set of design fees and coefficients shall be used exclusively for projects at Creech AFB, Range 63, and Point Bravo.

1.4.9.1.8 Non-Standard Working Hours: Defined as the period outside of Standard Work Hours and Government holidays. Only work specified by the CO, prior to issuance of a TO, or subsequent modification that identifies work requiring non-standard work hours, shall be multiplied by the nonstandard coefficient. See Section 1.8 for more information.

1.4.9.2 Project Price Adjustment: At the beginning of each Ordering Period all previously negotiated, unawarded project pricing shall be adjusted by the Contractor based on the newly revised CTC, to include the Contractor’s coefficient. The adjusted project pricing will be forwarded for each such project to the Contracting Officer not later than the first day Ordering Period. The adjusted price will be held until the next update or until award of that Task Order, whichever comes first.

1.4.10 Format of the Proposal: The Contractor’s design proposal shall be submitted electronically via e-mail in the requested Project Estimating Software format described in Section 1.13 (with any applicable Word or Excel documents), to include an Adobe (.pdf) version for the Contracting Office and the technical review electronic version from the Project Estimating Software for 99 CES/CEN. Any associated files or AutoCAD drawings too large to transmit via email shall be submitted using DoD SAFE. The Contractor shall make a DoD SAFE drop-off request for file transfer from the Contracting Office when proposals are ready to submit. In addition, up to two 11” x 17” paper copies of drawings per submission may be requested on specific Task Orders and shall be sent to the Contracting Officer concurrently with electronic submission. Each proposal shall include, at a minimum, the following:
