STATEMENT OF WORK

New Industrial Building Model Development and Cost Updates Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)

I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Purpose:

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) requires data and services to aid in updating four regional (Northeast, South, Midwest, and West) industrial building cost models and to improve the indexes it produces. In addition, a methodology to update the costs included in each of the regional cost models on a quarterly basis must be developed. The methodology shall adjust the costs for each component of the model to reflect actual market price movement observed within the region for which the model was designed.

Objectives:

1. Obtain from the vendor a reasonably comprehensive list of new industrial building projects that were bid, under construction, or completed construction in the United States during the period of June 1, 2017 to June 1, 2020.

2. Identify a specific project (one for each of the four major Census regions) that best reflects the ‘average’ industrial project within that region.

3. Have the vendor develop four fully detailed regional industrial building cost models. Each model shall reflect the known characteristics of the project selected as the ‘average’ for the region.

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

II. SCOPE OF WORK

The data and services covered by this statement of work include everything necessary to re-specify the current industrial 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 Period” Deliverables.):

1. Delivery of a reasonably comprehensive list of all new industrial (see definition of ‘new’ and ‘industrial ’ in attachment A) buildings bid on or built in the United States between June 1, 2017 and June 1, 2020.

2. Development of four (1 per major Census region) new industrial building cost models.

3. Development of a methodology to update the costs in the four regional industrial 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 A) in each region for which specific research will be performed by the vendor.

4. Provide assistance to BLS on an ‘as needed’ basis to understand the make-up of the industrial cost models and to evaluate any future updates to the models due to significant changes in ‘typical’ construction practices.

OPTION PERIOD WORK

1. Delivery of cost updates on a quarterly basis for each of the four regional industrial cost models.

III. DATA AVAILABILITY

Please be advised that the selected vendor may 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 should be commercially available and not collected exclusively on behalf of the BLS. The vendor will not have access to BLS data.

PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE

Base Period: 8/1/2020-7/31/2021

Option Period 1: 8/1/2021-7/31/2022 Option Period 2: 8/1/2022-7/31/2023 Option Period 3: 8/1/2023-7/31/2024 Option Period 4: 8/1/2024-7/31/2025

IV. DELIVERABLES

BASE PERIOD (8/1/2020– 7/31/2021)

1. “Project List” A reasonably comprehensive list of all new industrial building projects in the United States that were either:

(1) bid, (2) under construction, or (3) completed construction during the period of June 1, 2017 to June 1, 2020. In preparing the list of new industrial building projects it is very important that the project meet the definition of a ‘new’ ‘industrial’ building. A definition of these terms is provided in attachment A.

The information requested for each project shall include:

· Project bid date

· Construction start date

· Construction completion date

· Physical address (including city and state) where the project will be or is being constructed

· Total square footage of the building

· Total cost for construction of the building excluding land cost, architectural fees, permitting fees, and any other cost not directly associated with the construction of the building itself. Construction costs should include material cost, labor cost, and installation costs.

· Cost per square foot for the building.

· Total number of floors in the building above and/or below grade

· Building frame material

· Roof covering material

· Exterior wall material

· An indicator as to whether or not building plans/specifications are available to the vendor for use in developing the cost model.

It would be desirable if there was also an indicator of the amount of plan/specification information

· LEED rating

The project list is due to BLS 40 days after the award date. The project list will be judged based largely (but not solely) on the accuracy of the: (1) Project total cost information; (2) Square footage information; (3) Cost per square foot information;

and (4) Completeness of the project list. The completeness of the list will be evaluated by BLS independently identifying 20 “high profile” industrial projects in each region and checking to see if those “high profile” projects are included on the project list AND that project details such as the square footage and construction cost information in the project list are similar to internet sources. The project list does not have to contain every “high profile” project but should contains atleast 5 of them.

2. “Models” Develop a cost model of the industrial 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 B at the end of this document for an example.) 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 costinformation must accurately reflect the aggregation of the 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 is for. NOTE: No partial quantities should be listed for items which are not divisible into partial quantities. For example, ‘1.5 toilets’ is not acceptable. Pleaseround the quantity as appropriate.

One completed regional cost model is due by each of the following dates: (1) 3 Months after the Award Date (2) 3.5 Months after the Award Date (3) 4 Months after the Award Date and (4) 4.5 Months after the Award Date. These dates are firm unless different dates are mutually agreed upon or additional time is granted by BLS due to various circumstances. The models are to be delivered in an Excel format and meet the criteria specified above.

3. “Contractor List” The vendor will provide a list of contractors (see the minimum required numbers in the table below) for each of the four regions (Northeast, South, Midwest, and West). The list must consist only of contractors that had bid or worked on a new industrial building project between June 1, 2017 and June 1, 2020.

Region General Contractor

Roofing Contractor

Concrete Contractor

Electrical Contractor

Plumbing Contractor

Mechanical Contractor

Northeast 60 60 60 60 30 30 South 60 60 60 60 30 30 Midwest 60 60 60 60 30 30 West 60 60 60 60 30 30

4. The contractor list is due February 6, 2021 unless another date is mutually agreed upon between BLS and the vendor. The list of contractors (general, roofing, concrete, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical) for each of the four Census region and contractor type must meet the minimum required number as specified in the table above.

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

The methodology shall:

a) Only use price data as collected from companies without any adjustments

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

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

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

e) Attempt to incorporate all of the various costs (material, labor, equipment, fuel, etc.) which are an included in the total cost of building an industrial building.

f) 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.

g) Shall, at a minimum, collect price data each quarter from the following number of states in each region: Northeast, 5 out of 9;

South, 10 out of 17; Midwest, 7 out of 12; and West, 8 out of 13

h) Shall, at minimum, obtain three price quotes for materials surveyed by the vendor.

The document written by the vendor should explain the methods that will be employed by the vendor to update the costs in the models such that they reflect actual costs observed in the market.

a) Fully detail all survey methods to be employed to collect information used to update the model costs.

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

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

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

e) Indicate any costs that will not be updated in every period due to not collecting information for that type of cost in every period or for some other reason.

The methodology documentation is due on May 17, 2021.

5. Ongoing support regarding contents of the regional models and any quality adjustment information required by BLS due to changes in the regional models. BLS may also request additional information for cost changes that it deems noteworthy or for cost information to make adjustments when the models or cost update process change.

· The vendor shall assists BLS in understanding how the cost models were developed and answers specific questions concerning the selection of various materials and building systems for inclusion in the models.

FOUR OPTION PERIODS

Four Option Periods “Quarterly Cost Updates.” One year of quarterly cost updates for the four industrial building models. A model for any one region is due by the following dates: (1) 3 Months after the Award Date (2) 3.5 Months after the Award Date (3) 4 Months after the Award Date and (4) 4.5 Months after the Award Date

Cost updates for each of the industrial building models are delivered in accordance with the schedule of deliverables for the relevant option year unless an extension is granted by BLS. This first month of each option period will be August. The quarterly cost updates will reflect actual changes in costs for material, installation, and fuel observable in the market place since the previous cost update for each particular region.

One year of ongoing support of quarterly cost changes will begin in Option Period 1 for the regional models and any quality adjustment information required by BLS due to changes in the regional models. Along with the delivery of the quarterly cost updates the vendor provides an explanation for any significant cost changes due to the quarterly updates. BLS may also request additional information for cost changes that it deems noteworthy or for cost information to make adjustments when the models or cost update process change.

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

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

· Does the model and all of 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 that makeup the model? Are any assemblies becoming more/less commonly used which may require a change at some point in the future?

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

BLS may also request additional information for cost changes that it deems noteworthy or for cost information to make adjustments when the models or cost update process changes.

DOL 2012-01 ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST CLAUSE - OCI-1 EXCLUSION FROM FUTURE

AGENCY CONTRACTS (DECEMBER 2012)

ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST

OCI-1 Exclusion from Future Agency Contracts (DECEMBER 2012)

This clause supplements the FAR provisions on organizational conflicts of interest, located at FAR subpart 9.500 and should be read in conjunction with these provisions. To the extent there is any inconsistency or confusion between the two provisions, the FAR provision controls.

(a) Work under this contract may create a future organizational conflict of interest (OCI) that could prohibit the Contractor from competing for, or being awarded, future Government contracts.

The following examples illustrate situations in which organizational conflicts of interest may arise. They are not all inclusive, but will be used by the Contracting Officer as general guidance in individual contract situations:

(1) Unequal Access to Information. The performance of this contract may provide access to “nonpublic information,” which could provide the contractor an unfair competitive advantage in later solicitations or competitions for other DOL contracts. Such an advantage could be perceived as unfair by a competing vendor who is not given similar access to the same nonpublic information that is related to the future procurement action. If you, as a contractor, in performing this contract, obtain nonpublic information that is relevant to a future procurement action, you may be required to submit and negotiate an acceptable mitigation plan prior to being deemed eligible to compete on the future action. Alternatively, the “nonpublic information” may be provided to all offerors.

(2) Biased Ground Rules. Your contract with DOL may have, in some fashion, established important “ground rules” for another DOL procurement in which you may desire to be a competitor. For example, this contract may involve you drafting the statement of work, specifications, or evaluation criteria for a future DOL procurement. The primary concern, in any such situation, is that any such firm could skew the competition, whether intentionally or not, or be perceived as having skewed the competition, in its own favor. If the requirements of this DOL contract anticipate the contractor may be placed in a position to establish important ground rules, including but not limited to those described herein, the contractor may be precluded from competing in the related action or, if possible, may be required to submit and negotiate an acceptable mitigation plan.

(3) Impaired Objectivity. The performance of this contract may result in the contractor being placed in a situation where it is able, or required, to provide assessment and evaluation findings concerning itself, another business division, a subsidiary or affiliate, or other entity with which it has a significant financial relationship. The concern in this case is that the contractor’s ability to render impartial advice to DOL could appear to be undermined by the contractor’s financial or other business relationship to the entity whose work product is being assessed or evaluated. In these situations, a “walling off” of lines of communication between entities or divisions may be acceptable, but it also may not be sufficient to remove the perception that the objectivity of the contractor has been tainted. If the requirements of the DOL procurement indicate that a contractor may be placed in a position to provide evaluations and assessments of itself or other entities with which it has a significant financial relationship, the affected contractor should notify DOL immediately.

The contractor may also be required to provide a mitigation plan that includes recusal by the contractor from one of the affected contracts. Such recusal might include divestiture of the work to a third party.

(b) In order to prevent a future OCI of any kind, the Contractor shall be subject to the following restrictions:

(1) The Contractor may be excluded from competition for, or award of, any government contracts as to which, in the course of performing another contract, the Contractor has received nonpublic and competitively relevant information before such information has been made generally available to other persons or firms.

(2) The Contractor may be excluded from competition for, or award of, any government contract for which the contractor actually assisted or participated in the development of specifications or statements of work.

(3) The Contractor may be excluded from competition for or award of, any government contract which calls for it to evaluate itself, any affiliate, or any products or services produced or performed thereby.

(4) The Contractor may be excluded from competition for, or award of, any government contract calling for the production or performance of any product or service for which the Contractor participated in the development of requirements or definitions pursuant to another contract.

(c) This clause shall not exclude the Contractor from performing work under any modification to this contract or from competing for award of any future contract for work that is the same or similar to work performed under this contract, so long as the conditions above are not present. This clause does not prohibit an incumbent from competing on a follow-on competition but the Contracting Officer may require a mitigation plan or other steps as needed to ensure that there has not been an unequal access to nonpublic competitively sensitive information.

(d) The term “contractor” as used in this clause, includes any person, firm or corporation that owns or controls, or is owned or controlled by, the contractor. The term also includes the corporate officers of the contractor.

(e) The agency may in its sole discretion, waive any provisions of this clause if deemed in the best interest of the Government. The exclusions contained in this clause shall apply for the duration of this contract and for three (3) years after completion and acceptance of all work performed hereunder, or such other period as the Contracting Officer shall direct.

(f) If any provision of this clause excludes the Contractor from competition for, or award of any contract, the Contractor shall not be permitted to serve as a subcontractor, at any tier, on such contract. This clause shall be incorporated into any subcontracts or consultant agreements awarded under this contract unless the Contracting Officer determines otherwise.
