**The unit "JOB" as used in this Bidding Schedule is synonymous with the term "Lump Sum" used elsewhere within these plans and specifications.

Award will be made as a whole to one bidder.

NOTE 1: Bidders shall furnish unit prices for each item listed in the Schedule requiring a unit price. If the bidder fails to insert a unit price in the appropriate blank for required item(s), but does furnish an extended total, or an estimated amount for such item(s), the Government shall deem the unit price to be the quotient obtained by dividing the extended amount for that line item by the quantity. IF A BIDDER OMITS BOTH THE

UNIT PRICE AND THE EXTENDED TOTAL OR ESTIMATED AMOUNT FOR ANY

ITEM, ITS BID SHALL BE DECLARED NON-RESPONSIVE AND THEREFORE

INELIGIBLE FOR AWARD.

NOTE 2: Any bid may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines in writing that it is unreasonable as to price. Unreasonableness of price includes not only total price of bid, but the price for individual line items as well. Any bid may be rejected if the prices for any line items or sub line items are materially unbalanced (See FAR 14.404-2).

NOTE 3: THE NOTICE TO PROCEED (NTP): The successful bidder is advised that

W912P820B0002 0010-3 ED 14-028

performance and payment bonds shall be submitted in accordance with the time frame in block 12B of SF 1442. The NTP will be issued immediately after verification of acceptable performance and payment bonds. Within seven (7) days after issuance of the NTP, the Contractor shall initiate a meeting to discuss the submittal process with the Area or Resident Engineer or his authorized representative. Physical work cannot start until the Accident Prevention Plan, Contractor Quality Control Plan, and other submittals which may be required, have been submitted and approved and all preliminary meetings called for under the contract, have been conducted.

NOTE 4: OPTIONAL WORK ITEMS. The Government may require the delivery of the numbered line item(s), identified in the schedule as OPTIONAL WORK Items, in the quantities and prices stated in the schedule. The Contracting Officer may exercise the OPTIONAL WORK Items by written notice to the Contractor. If implemented, the Government will exercise the optional work no later than 1,340 calendar days after issuance of the Notice to Proceed. Bidders shall bid on all items including optional items (see “Evaluation of Options” FAR 52.217-5). Failure to bid on all items will result in a non-responsive bid. If implemented by the Contracting Officer’s Representative, all required work for Phase II (Option Area) construction shall be performed by the Contractor as described herein and as shown on the drawings, at any time during the contract period.

NOTE 5: EVALUATION OF OPTIONS (FAR 52.217-5 JUL 1990). Except when it is determined in accordance with FAR 17.206(b) not to be in the Government’s best interests, the Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for this basic requirement. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). If an option is to be exercised at the time of contract award FAR17.208 shall be used in place of FAR 52.217-5.

NOTE 6: TIME ADJUSTMENT IN THE EVENT OF THE EXERCISE OF OPTIONAL WORK.

In the event that OPTIONAL WORK items are exercised under the terms of the contract, the time required for completion of the contract shall be 530 calendar days in addition to the original contract duration of 1,440 calendar days established for the BASE WORK items specified in the Contract Clause entitled “COMMENCEMENT, PROSECUTION, AND COMPLETION OF WORK (FAR 52-211-10 – APR 1984)”. The time adjustment given as a result of exercising the option includes all time for completion of the option work, including the time period between the completion of the base work and commencement of the option work.

EVALUATION OF SUBLINE ITEMS (Dec 2019 - AFARS 5152.211-9000).

Item Nos. 0004, 0027, 0032, 0039, 0049, and 0054 are subdivided into two or more estimated quantities and are to be separately priced. The Government will evaluate each of these items on the basis of total price of its subline items.

(End of Clause)

VARIATIONS IN ESTIMATED QUANTITIES - SUBLINE ITEMS (Dec 2019 –

AFARS 5152.211-9001).

This variation in estimated quantities clause is applicable only to item Nos. 0004, 0027, 0032, 0039, 0049, and 0054.

(a) Variation from the estimated quantity in the actual work performed under any second or subsequent subline item or elimination of all work under such a second or subsequent subline item will not be the basis for an adjustment in contract unit price.

(b) Where the actual quantity of work performed for item Nos. 0004, 0027, 0032, 0039, 0049, and 0054 is less than 85% of the quantity of the first subline item listed under such item, the Contractor will be paid at the contract unit price for that subline item for the actual quantity of work performed and, in addition, an equitable adjustment shall be made in accordance with the clause at Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.211-18, VARIATION

IN ESTIMATED QUANTITY.

(c) If the actual quantity of work performed under item Nos. 0004, 0027, 0032, 0039, 0049, and 0054 exceeds 115% or is less than 85% of the total estimated quantity of the subline item under that item and/or if the quantity of the work performed under the second subline item or any subsequent subline item under item Nos. NONE exceeds 115% or is less than 85% of the estimated quantity of any such subline item, and if such variation causes an increase or a decrease in the time required for performance of this contract the contract completion time will be adjusted in accordance with the clause FAR 52.211-18, VARIATION

IN ESTIMATED QUANTITY.
