Highway 50 and accessed via an entrance road that connects the Elk Creek Visitor Center to Highway

50.

B. The Work consists of the following:

1. The Work includes the rehabilitation of the Visitor Center, including site and parking lot related improvements to provide outdoor accessibility (ABAAS) upgrades. All existing building systems will be replaced with new systems (HVAC equipment, electrical equipment and branch wiring, light fixtures, plumbing fixtures, cold water, hot water, wastewater and vent piping all to be replaced.) Additionally, a new fire suppression system is being added to the building. Selective demolition to occur (interior and exterior) to accommodate the proposed modifications. Exterior building repair/rehabilitation work will include a new roof to match the original (cedar shakes), replacement of existing weathered/worn cedar shakes at the observation deck and ramp guardwalls, repairs to exterior stucco (where failing), and improvements to the observation deck and ramp walking surface. Interior rehabilitation consists of spatial modifications to support staff needs as well as meet functional requirements of a modern visitor center. A new interior elevator will be installed to provide ABAAS access to the Main Level. Existing restrooms will undergo modifications to provide compliance with ABAAS. Exterior site related improvements consist of providing (2) accessible parking spaces adjacent to the Visitor

Center and regrading a portion of the existing parking lot to provide oversize vehicle

ABAAS parking spaces. The site walk/approach to the building will be replaced and regraded to allow for an ABAAS approach. The existing courtyard will be improved to provide more opportunities for park programming and visitor interpretation/education.

D. Equipment:

1. Equipment used for the project must be appropriately sized for the work being performed.

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

CURE - 187989 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.

E. Establishment and Application of Overhead and Profit Percentages:

1. Home Office Overhead and Profit (OH&P) shall be applied to direct costs only. Profit shall not be applied to overhead amounts; and overhead shall not be applied to profit.

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…………………...7.35%

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.
