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.

Contractor may utilize the government provided Contractor Estimate Form, or their http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Employee http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surety_bond http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insurance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank http://www.nps.gov/dscw/publicforms.htm

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.

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

b. Construction Blue Book

LAKE - 210462 01 26 01 - 5

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.

E. Establishment and Application of Overhead and Profit Percentages:

Home office overhead shall contain only allowable, allocable, and reasonable costs per the contract documents and FAR Part 31. Profit percentages are based on risk factors found in FAR Part 31which have been applied to the specific type of work included in this project. Negotiated rates shall not exceed the following percentages for OH&P for contractor self-performed work:

Overhead………………10% Profit………………X.XX%

2. Total aggregate limit of markup (OH&P) for contractor and subcontractors on modification work shall not exceed 25%. The NPS will not be responsible for allocation of percentages between contractor and subcontractors at any tier.

3. If contractors form a partnership, than the partnership may only receive home office overhead and profit in the same amount as an individual contractor (refer to par 1.3,E,1 above). It is the responsibility of the partners to decide on the division of revenue.

4. Combined Increases and Decreases: On proposals involving both increases and decreases in the Contract Price, the overhead and profit mark-ups are required on the net increases and deducted on net decreases.

5. At no time can profit be calculated on Overhead or itself, it must be calculated on direct costs of work only.

3. Construction Schedule Updates.

4. Time Impact Analysis.

B. Purpose: The purpose of the Construction Schedule is to ensure adequate planning, coordination, scheduling, and reporting during execution of the work by the Contractor. The Construction

Schedule will assist the Contractor and Contracting Officer in monitoring the progress of the work, evaluating proposed changes, and processing the Contractor's monthly progress payment.

1.2 DEFINITIONS

A. Activity: A discrete part of a project that can be identified for planning, scheduling, monitoring, and controlling the construction project. Activities included in a construction schedule consume time and resources.

1. Critical activities are activities on the critical path. They must start and finish on the planned early start and finish times.

2. Predecessor Activity: An activity that precedes another activity in the network.

3. Successor Activity: An activity that follows another activity in the network.

B. Cost Loading: The allocation of the Schedule of Values for the completion of an activity as scheduled. The sum of costs for all activities must equal the total Contract Sum, unless otherwise approved by the Contracting Officer.

C. CPM: Critical path method, which is a method of planning and scheduling a construction project where activities are arranged based on activity relationships. Network calculations determine when activities can be performed and the critical path of Project.

D. Critical Path: The longest connected chain of interdependent activities through the network schedule that establishes the minimum overall Project duration and contains no float.

E. Float: The measure of leeway in starting and completing an activity.

1. Float: Float is not for the exclusive use or benefit of either the Government or the
