When Task Orders are issued, they will be issued with the most current wage rates.

1. RS Means has 7 different software systems, which one is the government requiring? In addition RS Means tends to not be accurate with government/hospital estimating. Is RS Means the only allowable estimating software for this project? It is very expensive to buy a software for one proposal

RESPONSE: The offeror doesn’t have to buy software to put together an estimate into the applicable divisions. The Government expects a format with all the applicable divisions and markups. This can be done by hand with a book: https://www.rsmeans.com/products/books/2018-cost-data-books/2018-building-construction-costs-book.aspx

They can utilize whichever version they find to be suitable for construction in a hospital/medical setting. 2018 version should be utilized.
