OVERALL SATOC QUESTIONS

1. Is the seed project to be bid using RS Means? Or do we just use the SATOC SEED Task Order Pricing Sheet without using RS Means costs for pricing?Some of the work will be impossible to accurately estimate using RS means. It is very possible that RS means is half the price of the actual final bid. Does that mean we must double plus our coefficient to make up for the means shortfall? How will we develop pricing when the majority of the work is subcontractor bids, not RS means calculating for these seed projects?

RESPONSE: The following has been added to the solicitation to address any questions with RS Means. - The Contractor must also furnish the RS Means Summary Sheet for each submitted Seed Project. This is the standard summary output from the RS means software listing costs in all applicable divisions plus the standard markups.

Due to this new requirement, the proposal response date will be extended until 8/9/18 @ 12 Noon EST.
