The survey must be completed within two weeks prior to the start of construction. Additional surveys will be required when all activities are not completed within the two-week timeframe from the date of the survey.

The Contractor will be required to avoid cutting down trees with active nests, however, other work would be permitted to continue. Some species may also require a buffer around active nests where work cannot occur. Request site survey a minimum of one month prior to work.

2. In order to protect eagles under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA, 16

U.S.C. 668-668c), all construction work requires a site survey, to be performed by a trained park employee. The survey must be completed within two weeks prior to the start of construction. If an active bald eagle or golden eagle nest is found, the Contractor may have to work in areas that are 100 meters or more away from the active nest. If avoiding work in the 100-meter area around the active nest is not possible, the Contractor may be required to postpone work in the area until a repeat survey indicates no impact to nesting eagles. If an active or inactive nest is found, the Contractor will be required to avoid cutting down trees with nests. Request site survey a minimum of one month prior to work.

D. Wildlife

1. Do not feed or disturb wildlife within the Park boundaries. Do not approach or remain within 25 yards of any wildlife.

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

a. United States (U.S.) Army Corps of Engineers, Ownership and Operating Expense

Schedule (use latest edition and applicable region)

b. Construction Blue Book

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

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

6. Standby unit rates used in accordance with paragraph 1.3, D, 2, above. If the U.S. Army

Corp of Engineers is utilized, then their standby rates prevail. If Bluebook or local equipment pricing is accepted, then 1/2 of 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, established standby rate shall apply from the first day of the delay.

8. Equipment not used and on the job site for up to five consecutive days may be classified at standby rates, provided the equipment is or has been used solely to perform work on the modification and will be necessary to complete additional modification work.

Equipment 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.

Negotiated rates shall not exceed the following percentages for OH&P for contractor self-performed work:

Overhead………………12%

Profit……………… 6%

ROMO 326235 01 26 01 - 6

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, partnership may only receive home office overhead and profit in same amount as an individual Contractor (refer to paragraph 1.3,E,1 above). It is the responsibility of the partners to decide on division of revenue.

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