A. All equipment needs to be cleaned, drained, and dry prior to arrival at the park. All equipment shall be cleaned with hot (>140F)-high-pressure water and allow to drain and dry completely before transport to the park. Equipment will be inspected by an NPS representative upon each entry to the park to be sure that no water, mud/dirt, animals such as snails and mussels, aquatic and terrestrial weeds or their seeds enter the park on construction equipment. Dirty equipment will be rejected and require additional cleaning before re-inspection. Subsequent entries in the Park of hauling vehicles will require cleaning and inspection. Notify the CO a minimum of 48 hours before the entry of vehicles and equipment to the Park

B. Notify the CO at least two weeks before starting work so a park lead orientation session can be coordinated. All Contractor and subcontractor employees are required to attend park orientation sessions before commencing work. Orientation sessions will include information about park values, regulations, bear safety and appropriate housekeeping. It will be the responsibility of the prime

Contractor to disseminate and enforce all information provided at the orientation meetings, including to all Subcontractors and employees hired after Park orientation meetings. Notify the CO of all orientations that are being conducted.

C. Do not operate or park any equipment off the paved roadway except in approved areas. Do not operate or store vehicles and equipment leaking oil, gas, or anti-freeze within the Park boundaries.

Do not drain oil, hydraulic fluids, anti-freeze, or other chemical onto the ground within the park boundaries. Immediately clean any and all contractor equipment and vehicle spills within the park and immediately notify the CO of any spill. Contractor shall provide, maintain, and train employees on the use of a spill emergency response kit.

D. Refueling of equipment shall occur at a minimum of 100 ft. away from any stream. All stationary motorized equipment shall be operated at minimum of 10 ft. away from any stream.

E. If waterway becomes cloudy, off-color, or otherwise turbid during construction as determined by the

CMR, work shall be stopped until water clears. Contractor shall correct any issues occurring as a result of water turbidity.

F. Do not produce hot asphalt products within the Park boundaries.

G. Sleeping in vehicles or camping within the Park boundary will not be allowed unless in designated locations.

GLAC - 311336 01 11 00 - 11

H. Do not use explosive material within the Park boundaries.

I. Comply with all Park requirements and restrictions, including, but not limited to the following: Do not feed or disturb wildlife within the Park boundaries; store and handle food, fuel, or other attractants in a manner that does not attract bears, i.e., no food, food remnants (such as sunflower seed or other nut shells, banana peels, and orange peels), pet food, garbage, drinks, trash, or food and drink containers will be placed outside vehicles, trailers, buildings, or bear-resistant containers or left in the open beds of trucks or trailers except during actual use. Contractor supplied garbage bins must be bear proof and meet Park requirements. Any mishandling of garbage, trash, food, and other potential bear attractants described above will result in the responsible person, or Contractor, receiving a citation subject to fine.

J. Not materials shall be stored in the open wrapped in plastic or any other petroleum-based product.

Petroleum products are an attractant to wildlife.

K. Contractors shall only use water bottles that have only previously contained water and have not contained flavored drink of any kind.

L.

1.3 MODIFICATION PROPOSAL PRICING REQUIREMENTS

A. General:

1. Your proposal must be received in the format and within the time frame specified in the Request for Proposal letter. Costs or delays resulting from failure of contractor to submit within the time frame specified will not be compensable.

2. The proposal must be detailed with itemized lists of equipment, materials, labor, production rates, overhead, profit, and bond markup for each item. Labor costs must be itemized by craft and hourly rate, including Fringe Benefits and Labor Burden. If the costs of Fringe Benefits and Labor Burden are not itemized, it is assumed that that they are included in the hourly rate shown, or contractor is not requesting reimbursement.

Contractor may utilize the government provided Contractor Estimate Form

GLAC - 311336 01 26 01 - 4

(https://www.nps.gov/dscw/publicforms.htm#ct), or their own form, provided that it contains the same information and level of detail as the Gov’t provided form.

3. Requests for extensions of contract time as a result of this change must be justified with a Time Impact Analysis (TIA). Refer to Division 01 Specification, “Construction Schedule”, for time impact analysis requirements. TIA and associated costs must be received with the proposal by the date shown within the Request for Proposal letter.

Contractor’s failure to submit within the specified time frame will be construed as the Contractor waiving the right for additional time and no time extension will be allowed.

4. All supporting documentation used to justify the proposed modification will be made available to the Contracting Officer upon request.

5. Contractor must review and approve all subcontractor/supplier pricing in detail for proper format, scope, production rates, and pricing prior to submission to the Contracting Officer.

2. No markup shall be applied to any material provided by the NPS.

D. Equipment:

a. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Ownership and Operating Expense Schedule (use latest edition and applicable region)

b. Construction Blue Book

GLAC - 311336 01 26 01 - 5

c. Local equipment rental rates, documented by actual invoice charges, or itemized vendor quotes.

The estimated equipment rates shall include the operating costs of all fuel, oil, lubrication, supplies, small tools, necessary attachments, ground engaging components, tires & tracks, routine repairs and maintenance (cost of major repair and overhaul is not allowed per FAR 31.105(d)(2)), depreciation, storage, insurance, and all incidentals.

Mobilization, if applicable, may be included for equipment solely used on the modification work but must be listed separately.

5. Estimate the full rate for equipment only for the duration that the equipment will be utilized to accomplish the work of the modification.

6. Standby unit rates used are to be in accordance with paragraph 1.3, D, 2, above. If the US Army Corp of Engineers is utilized then their standby rates prevail. If Bluebook or local equipment pricing is accepted, then ½ of the equipment costs minus any operating costs, major repair and overhaul will be accepted.

7. If equipment is in standby mode due solely to a documented NPS delay, the established standby rate shall apply from the first day of the delay.

8. Equipment that is not used and on the jobsite for up to five consecutive days may be classified at standby rates, provided that the equipment is or has been used solely to perform work on the modification and will be necessary to complete additional modification work. Equipment that is still on the jobsite but not in use after five consecutive days will not be considered in the modification pricing.

9. Requests for compensation for equipment stand by time must be justified, documented and itemized separately.

10. The estimated timeframe (daily, weekly, monthly) for use of the equipment must reflect the lowest cost to the Government.

Home office overhead shall contain only allowable, allocable, and reasonable costs per the contract documents and FAR Part 31.

Negotiated rates shall not exceed the following percentages for OH&P for contractor self-performed work:

Overhead………………10% Profit…………………..8%

2. Total aggregate limit of markup (OH&P) for contractor and subcontractors on modification work shall not exceed 25%. The NPS will not be responsible for allocation of percentages between contractor and subcontractors at any tier.

3. If contractors form a partnership, than the partnership may only receive home office overhead and profit in the same amount as an individual contractor (refer to par 1.3,E,1 above). It is the responsibility of the partners to decide on the division of revenue.

4. Combined Increases and Decreases: On proposals involving both increases and decreases in the Contract Price, the overhead and profit mark-ups are required on the net increases and deducted on net decreases.

5. At no time can profit be calculated on Overhead or itself, it must be calculated on direct costs of work only.
