Schedule General Notes:

1) The base of operations location shall be used for mobilization distance determination purposes. Base of Operations should be the location where the equipment is staged but may be any business office location. Some task orders may be based on shorter distances, if the affected equipment is closer to the project site than the base of operations (e.g., mobilization from one project site to another).

2) Mobilization shall be for one time per job. Mobilization will not be paid for the return trip to the base of operations, or for re-mobilization to the same project (e.g., equipment taken back to the base of operations for the weekend, poor project planning), unless agreed to in advance by the Contracting Officer.

3) Mobilization covers movement of personnel, equipment, supplies, and incidentals to or from the project area.

Requirements and provisions shall follow Section 151 in the FP-03 specifications. Payment will be made at the accepted rates shown on the bid schedule for each corresponding piece of equipment, as applicable. Separate mobilization pay items for each type of major equipment anticipated under the contract are shown in the Schedule of Items.

4) Mobilization of equipment for which a separate mobilization pay item is not shown on the Schedule of Items shall be considered incidental to the work pay item requiring that equipment. Pickup trucks, chase vehicles, etc., shall be considered incidental to the pay items shown in the Bid Schedule, and no separate payment will be made for their use. If the Contracting Officer agrees that the equipment needed is a major part of the work it may be negotiated and added to the Schedule of Items. In certain conditions some equipment may be considered incidental to another pay item. An example is when a dump truck is hauling a backhoe to do culvert & aggregate work. In this case the dump truck is incidental to the backhoe and only mobilization of the backhoe shall be paid.
