These items have a unit measure of Lump Sum. My questions is shouldn’t these be by the Hour? In other FHWA projects we have bid this has been the case.
If they are to be lump sum can you direct me to where I can find what is to be included in this Lump Sum Item?
Invitation For Bid states on page E-48 the following:
623.05 Biological Surveying Services.
(a) Furnish a qualified biologist experienced in surveying for nesting birds in similar habitats in Utah. Submit resume of the biologist to the CO for approval a minimum 14 days prior to beginning bird nest surveying activity.
(b) Furnish supporting tools and equipment (e.g., calculator, computer, and software, and appropriate and commonly used tools for the assigned task).
Prepare field notes in an approved format. All field notes become the property of the Government upon completion of the work.
Does this mean that we need to have a biologist complete a nesting bird survey for each construction area as part of each bid schedule?
Line Items A0720, X0540, and Y0800., Pay Item Number 62303- 1000, SPECIAL LABOR, HIRED TECHNICAL SERVICES are for nesting bird surveys by a qualified biologist in accordance with Section 623.05 as designated by “Biologist” in the Remarks column of the Summary of Quantities table. This Pay Item is by the lump sum because it is dependent on the contractors methods and timing for each construction area. Other Hired Technical Services, by the hour, are not anticipated to be needed for this project.
