STATEMENT OF WORK FOR NEW HEALTHCARE BUILDING MODEL DEVELOPMENT AND COST UPDATES

(2026)

Purpose:

The purpose of this purchase is to update the current Healthcare building cost models which:

· Fully specify four regional cost models that will be updated on a quarterly basis, at a minimum

· Identify trends (positive or negative) in Healthcare building construction.

· Aid in creating and maintaining four regional (Northeast, South, Midwest, and West) Healthcare building cost models and a methodology to update the costs in each of the four models on a quarterly (or more frequent) basis. The methodology shall adjust the costs for each component of the model to reflect market price movements observed within the region for which the model was designed.

Objective:

1. Identify a specific project (one for each of the four major Census regions) that best reflects the “average” or typical Healthcare building project within that region relative to size, and any other characteristic deemed relevant as demonstrated by data gathered for the specified time frame. BLS will provide plans and specs to the vendor for up to five preselected projects for each of the four Census regions separately on a flow basis. Vendor will need to rate the plans and specs provided for quality to develop a model based on the quality and detail provided in the plans and specs to be able to develop a cost model for the building. BLS will finalize the model selection for each Census region based on the vendor’s ratings.

2. Have the vendor develop four detailed regional Healthcare building cost models. Each model shall reflect the known characteristics of the project selected as the “average” for the region.

3. Have the vendor develop and implement a methodology to update the material, labor, and installation costs for the four regional models on a quarterly basis.

SCOPE OF WORK

The data and services covered by this statement of work include everything necessary to re-specify the current Healthcare building models for the four major Census regions (Northeast, South, Midwest, and West) and maintain continuous calculation of BLS indexes.

This work specifically includes:

BASE PERIOD WORK

(See specific due dates under “Performance Measure” for “Base Period” and “Option Year” Deliverables.):

1. Development of four (1 per major Census region) new Healthcare building cost models that reflect the trends identified by the data gathered by the vendor.

2. Development of a methodology to update the costs in the four regional Healthcare building models on a quarterly basis reflecting market price movement within each of the regions. This methodology shall also allow BLS to select up to four assemblies (as defined in Attachment B) in each region for which specific research will be performed by the vendor.

3. Aid BLS on an ‘as needed’ basis to understand the make-up of the Healthcare building cost models and to evaluate any future updates to the models due to significant changes in ‘typical’ construction practices.

4. Delivery of quarterly cost updates for each of the four regional Healthcare building cost models.

USE OF “BLS” NAME OR LOGO:

The selected vendor shall not use the Bureau of Labor Statistics name in connection with any collection of data that is being purchased under this contract. The data being purchased shall be commercially available and not collected exclusively on behalf of the BLS. The vendor will not have access to BLS data.

PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE

Meetings (virtual meetings are acceptable) with the vendor will take place within 10 business days (and any additional days that may be deemed necessary by BLS) after each the following:

· The contract has officially been awarded.

· The receipt of the plans and specs ratings.

· The delivery of four regional base models, one per major Census region (one meeting following each model)

· The receipt of the methodology workbook

· The receipt of each quarterly cost update

The dates for execution of the base year period contract and the option year contracts are as follows:

· Base Period: Date of contract award: 8/1/2026 - 5/31/2027

· Option Period 1: 6/1/2027-5/31/2028

· Option Period 2: 6/1/2028-5/31/2029

· Option Period 3: 6/1/2029-5/31/2030

· Option Period 4: 6/1/2030-5/31/2031

DELIVERABLES

BASE PERIOD

1. “Project Ratings.” BLS will provide the vendor with a list of up to five preselected projects in each Census region. These will be delivered by region on a flow basis starting with the first region delivered within two weeks following the contract award date.

Available digital plans and specs will be provided by BLS for each preselected project. The vendor will provide BLS with a quality and completeness rating of the plans/specs along with a supporting summary narrative describing how the rating was determined for each project. BLS will use this information in determining which project to select for use as a model for the Census region. A ranking system for projects will be developed between the vendor and BLS at the kickoff meeting to be held within ten business days of the official contract award date. The plans and specs ratings shall include:

a. A quality and completeness indicator of the plan/specification information for each building provided. Project plan/specification ratings should specify if the available material includes sufficient plans, schedules, and information needed to create viable model (i.e.

if MEP, structural, etc. plans are insufficient, vendor should notify BLS in their ranking to avoid selection of an incomplete model building).

b. Performance Measure: The project ratings are due to BLS on October 15, 2025.

(1) Quality rating of the following portions of plan/specs:

1. Sufficiency of plans/specs to generate a complete building model.

2. Identification of any key elements of the building missing from plans/specs (i.e. weak MEP plans or architectural drawings being incomplete).

3. Narrative which fully explains each rating

(2) Professional qualifications of staff that completed the ratings

2. Four regional Healthcare building cost models. The vendor will develop a cost model of the Healthcare building project selected by BLS for each of the four Census regions. The cost model must go down to a level of detail such that all tasks necessary to complete the building are specified (See Attachment A at the end of this document). All building systems (plumbing, heating, and air conditioning, electrical, roofing, siding, and substructure) must be included in the model submission. The cost models must include appropriate column headers. All assembly level cost information must accurately reflect the aggregation of its lower-level cost information. Similarly, the total cost (both with and without overhead and profit) for each line in the model must accurately aggregate the material and installation costs for that line. The cost information for the assemblies and components must reflect market costs for the region that the model represents. NOTE: No partial quantities shall be listed for items which are not divisible into partial quantities. For example, ‘1.5 toilets’ is not acceptable. All quantities shall be rounded as appropriate.

a. Performance Measure: One completed regional cost model is due by each of the following dates:

· October 30, 2026

· November 30, 2026

· December 31, 2026, and

· January 29, 2027

b. These dates are firm unless different dates are mutually agreed upon or additional time is granted by BLS, via contract modification, due to unforeseen circumstances. The models are to be delivered in a Microsoft Excel format and meet the criteria specified above.

3. “Cost Update Methodology.” Develop and document the methodology to be used to update the costs in the model.

a. The methodology shall:

(1) Only use price data as collected from companies without any adjustments.

(2) Reflect actual prices observed in the marketplace since the previous cost update.

(3) Be based on a minimum sample of three companies providing price information.

(4) Only use cost information for the region that the model encompasses.

(5) Attempt to incorporate all the various costs (material, labor, equipment, fuel, etc.) which are included in the total cost of constructing a new Healthcare building.

(6) Allow BLS to select four assemblies in each of the four regions which will be updated quarterly using material, labor, and installation cost information that the vendor collects as part of their normal commercial activities.

(7) Obtain a minimum of three price quotes for materials surveyed by the vendor.

b. The document written by the vendor shall explain the methods that will be employed to update the costs in the models such that they reflect actual market costs. This document shall also:

4. Detail all survey methods to be employed in the collection of information used to update the model costs.

5. State the average number of companies to be contacted as part of the survey process.

6. Explicitly state what types of costs (material, labor, equipment, fuel, general conditions) are and are not incorporated by this update methodology.

7. Fully explain how the costs in the model are moved via the update methodology.

8. Indicate all costs that will not be updated (for every period) due to non-collection or some other reason.

a. The methodology documentation is due not later than May 14, 2027. A ‘Satisfactory’ rating will be given if the documentation is received by the specified date and clearly explains the methods that will be employed to update the cost models. A rating higher than ‘Satisfactory’ will be given if the documentation is received before the specified date and clearly explains the methods that will be employed to update the cost models.

9. Ongoing model support. Ongoing support regarding the contents of the four regional models and any quality adjustment information required by BLS due to changes in these models. In addition, BLS may request information for noteworthy cost changes or for cost information when models or cost updates change significantly.

a. The vendor will assist BLS in understanding how these cost models were developed and answer specific questions concerning the selection of various materials and building systems for inclusion.

FOUR OPTION PERIODS

Four Option Year “Quarterly Cost Updates.” One year of quarterly cost updates for the four Healthcare building models. The cost updates for each option year are due by: June 10, September 10, December 10, and March 10. Each option year begins June 1 (starting in the year 2027) and concludes on May 31 of the following year.

· Cost updates for each of the Healthcare building models are delivered by the 10th of June, September, December, and March for the relevant option year, unless an extension is granted by BLS. The first month of each option year will be June. The quarterly cost updates will reflect actual changes in costs for materials, installation, and fuels observed in the marketplace since the previous cost update for each region.

One year of ongoing support of quarterly cost changes for the regional models and any quality adjustment information required by BLS due to changes in the regional models. The vendor will provide an explanation for any significant cost changes in these updates upon request of the BLS. In addition, BLS may request information for noteworthy cost changes or for cost information when models or cost updates change significantly.

Performance Measure: The vendor provides written explanations of significant cost changes along with the model updates upon request of BLS. In addition, upon the request of the BLS, the vendor will provide, with each quarterly cost update, a response to the following potential questions:

· Was the model reviewed in its entirety for any needed assembly modifications or replacements?

· Does the model and all the assemblies still represent typical construction practices in the respective region since the previous cost update?

· What materials/assemblies/labor costs showed significant changes from the previous cost update?

· Were there any changes to the makeup of the crews since the last cost update?

· Have there been any noteworthy shifts in trends regarding the assemblies included in the model? Are any assemblies becoming more or less commonly used which may require a change at some point in the future?

· Were all the “specifically researched assemblies” updated to incorporate changes in material and labor costs that occurred since the previous cost update?

In addition, BLS may request information for noteworthy cost changes or for cost information when models or cost updates change significantly.
