SECTION B - SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICE/COSTS

B.1 SCHEDULE OF ITEMS

General Notes for the Schedule of Items

Award will be made by Line Item or in the aggregate, whichever is most advantageous to the Government.

For evaluation purposes, the cost of each award is $500.

Each Line item has 5 parts – a Base Period and 4 Option Periods. If you choose to bid on a line item, you must provide pricing on all 5 parts.

Contractors do not have to bid on all line items. You can choose to bid on just the Sulphur RD items, or just the ANRA line items, or just the Boulder item etc.

Quantities listed are Estimated Quantities and are not a guarantee of the number of trees that will need to be treated.

Depending on any possible future Pine Beetle activity, some areas not listed on the Schedule may be added to the contract. Likewise, some of the items listed in the following Schedule may be deleted from the contract. All areas that will be sprayed in the future will be on the Arapahoe Roosevelt National Forest. Pricing for these areas will be negotiated, but will expected to be in line with pricing for areas that are a similar distance from the contractor’s location. For example, you have a price stated in the Schedule for a CG that is 70 miles for your location. If in the future, we add a Trailhead to the contract, and it is 70 miles from your location, the pricing for the newly added Trailhead will be expected to be similar to the CG listed in the Schedule that is 70 miles from your location. Increase in insecticide cost and increases in wage rates will be factored into the negotiated price for the added work sites.

Expected Trends by Line Item

Sulphur and ANRA – probably decreasing from the Base Period to the each of the Option Periods.

Clear Creek, Boulder and Clear Lake – probably increasing.
