FROM:

"Submit four (4) relevant construction projects or Design/Build projects for the Offeror that best demonstrates your experience on relevant projects that are similar in size, scope, and complexity to the projects contemplated by this RFP.

For purposes of this evaluation, a relevant project is further defined as:

Size Defined: A final construction cost of $250,000.00 or greater. At least one (1) project must have a final construction cost of $2,000,000.00 and greater.

Scope/Complexity: New building construction and/or interior/exterior alteration or renovation of laboratories.

Recency: Projects submitted for the Offeror shall be completed within three (3) years of the date of issuances of this RFP (recency).

Additionally, submitted relevant projects shall, cumulatively, demonstrate the following characteristics:

Offerors shall have acted as the prime contractor on submitted projects. Offeror's experience performing as subcontractor will not be considered, nor will experience of companies proposed to work as subcontractors on the awarded contract. Offeror shall provide at least one Construction Experience Project Data Sheet (Attachment 1) for each of the following types of projects (projects must be relevant and recent as defined in size and scope/complexity as described above):

a) Demonstrated experience from one (1) of the following project types must be included: Biomedical Research Laboratories, Animal Care Facilities, or predominantly utility project.

b) Demonstrated experience from one (1) of the following remaining project types, which must be different from the facility type experience demonstrated in (a) above: Biomedical Research Laboratories, Animal Care Facilities, or predominantly utility project.

c) Demonstrated experience must include at least one renovation/repair project

d) Demonstrated experience must include at least one design-build project

NOTE: Failure to demonstrate experience in ALL four (4) types of relevant construction projects shall be considered a deficiency; thus unacceptable."

3. Add the below information to G.5 Proposal Contents and Preparation Costs, Paragraph (c) Price

G.5.(c).1 Allowable overhead, profit, and percentages for change orders.

Allowable overhead, profit, and percentages are given at the end of this paragraph. These percentages shall be limited to three tiers only and shall be considered to include, but not limited to, all insurance other than FICA, FUTA, SUTA and Workmen's Compensation, field and office supervisors and assistants, use of small tools, incidental job burdens, and general office expense. Incidental job burdens include, but are not limited to, review and coordination, and estimating and expediting relative to contract changes that are associated with field and office supervision.

No percentages for overhead and profit shall be allowed on FICA, FUTA or SUTA. The percentages for overhead and profit to be allowed by NIH may vary according to the nature, extent, and complexity of work involved, but in no case shall exceed the following:

The percentages of overhead to be allowed by the Contracting Officer will be 10% for all contract changes performed by prime contractor personnel and 5% for all contract change work performed by subcontract personnel.

The percentage for profit to be allowed by NIH will vary according to the nature, risk, extent, and complexity of work involved, but in no case shall exceed 10%. Percentages for overhead and profit will be as follows:

Overhead / Profit

To subcontractors and/or to the Contractor for work performed with his own forces - Max of 10% (1% - 10%) To Contractor on work performed by other than his own forces - Max of 5% (1% - 5%)

The percentage of profit is to be negotiated. The burden is on the contractor to propose and justify to the Government the percentage of profit to be paid on each modification to the contract.

On proposals involving both increases and decreases in the amount of the contract, overhead and profit will be allowed on the net increases only. On net decreases, corresponding overhead and profit will be deducted.

When change proposals are not submitted with a Time Impact Analysis, it is mutually agreed that the particular change order, modification, delay or Contractor request does not require an extension of the contract time (or milestone).
