2. The proposal must be detailed with itemized lists of equipment, materials, labor, production rates, overhead, profit, and bond markup for each item. Labor costs must be itemized by craft and hourly rate, including Fringe Benefits and Labor Burden. If the costs of Fringe Benefits and Labor Burden are not itemized, it is assumed that that they are included in the hourly rate shown, or contractor is not requesting reimbursement.

WICR - 251506 01 26 01 - 4

own form, provided that it contains the same information and level of detail as the Gov’t provided form.

3. Requests for extensions of contract time as a result of this change must be justified with a Time Impact Analysis (TIA). Refer to Division 01 Specification, “Construction Schedule”, for time impact analysis requirements. TIA and associated costs must be received with the proposal by the date shown within the Request for Proposal letter.

Contractor’s failure to submit within the specified time frame will be construed as the Contractor waiving the right for additional time and no time extension will be allowed.

4. All supporting documentation used to justify the proposed modification will be made available to the Contracting Officer upon request.

5. Contractor must review and approve all subcontractor/supplier pricing in detail for proper format, scope, production rates, and pricing prior to submission to the NPS. All delay costs associated with not reviewing and approving subcontractor/supplier pricing will be borne by the Contractor.

6. All pricing and production rates within the estimate must be based on fair and reasonable pricing and cannot include built-in contingency.

B. Labor:

1. Contractor shall estimate the cost of labor by itemizing each craft involved, indicating worker hourly rate (base rate + labor burden + fringe benefits) for each and itemizing the hours required for each craft that will be directly engaged in modification work.

Labor Burden may include payroll taxes, Social Security, unemployment insurances, workers compensation insurance, FICA, FUTA, and other direct costs resulting from Federal, State or local laws.

2. Itemize labor costs for equipment operators separate from equipment costs.

3. The labor cost for foremen shall only be costs for related work required for the modification.

C. Materials:

2. Do not include costs for “miscellaneous tools and equipment”, in your proposal for a replacement value of $500 or less. Costs shown in excess of $500 must be broken out separately.

3. Regardless of ownership, the rates to be used in determining equipment rental costs shall be the lowest cost from one of the following sources:

a. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers , Ownership and Operating Expense Schedule (use latest edition and applicable region)

b. Construction Blue Book

WICR - 251506 01 26 01 - 5

c. Local equipment rental rates, documented by actual invoice charges, or itemized vendor quotes.

4. The estimated equipment rates shall include the operating costs of all fuel, oil, lubrication, supplies, small tools, necessary attachments, ground engaging components, tires & tracks, routine repairs and maintenance (cost of major repair and overhaul is not allowed per FAR 31.105(d)(2)), depreciation, storage, insurance, and all incidentals.

Mobilization, if applicable, may be included for equipment solely used on the modification work but must be listed separately.

5. Estimate the full rate for equipment only for the duration that the equipment will be utilized to accomplish the work of the modification.

6. Standby unit rates used are to be in accordance with paragraph 1.3, D, 2, above. If the US Army Corp of Engineers is utilized then their standby rates prevail. If Bluebook or local equipment pricing is accepted, then ½ of the equipment costs minus any operating costs, major repair and overhaul will be accepted.

7. If equipment is in standby mode due solely to a documented NPS delay, the established standby rate shall apply from the first day of the delay.

8. Equipment that is not used and on the jobsite for up to five consecutive days may be classified at standby rates, provided that the equipment is or has been used solely to perform work on the modification and will be necessary to complete additional modification work. Equipment that is still on the jobsite but not in use after five consecutive days will not be considered in the modification pricing.

9. Requests for compensation for equipment stand by time must be justified, documented and itemized separately.

10. The estimated timeframe (daily, weekly, monthly) for use of the equipment must reflect the lowest cost to the Government.
