Within three (3) calendar days of project notification, unless otherwise directed by the CO, the Program Manager (PM), or authorized representative(s) shall attend a Pre-Proposal Site Visit to clarify any project requirements, and/or further define the project objective/scope of work. This meeting will be used to develop the government’s SOW and subsequent funding request. If funded the CO will issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) to the contractor. The Contractor’s proposal shall be submitted to the CO in accordance with the RFP letter for all work.

3.2. Emergency Requirement. In the event of an emergency or time sensitive requirement, the Contractor Program Manager, or authorized representative(s) response time shall be as soon as directed by the CO. The Contractor’s proposal shall be submitted IAW paragraph 5, or as directed by the CO, normally within 24 hours.

4. Commencement Documents. Contractor design documents shall be developed so that a distinction is made between items that are associated with each classification of work (i.e.

Demolition, Minor (new) Construction, Repair, and Additives). See Statement of Work (SOW) paragraph 12 for “Task Order Proposal Procedures”. Categories of work notes shall be affixed throughout the contract documents to clearly distinguish between works that are Demolition (D), Minor Construction (MC), or Repair (R) and further delineate any items that are Additive Bid Items (reflected as “Option #”) and shall be accounted for and priced separately in the price proposal. The concept of the SABER program provides for a minimum of 35% design level effort. However, some portions of a design may require up to a 65% to 80% design effort depending upon nature/complexity (i.e., some mechanical/electrical).

4.1. A 100% design level effort may be necessary when Professional Engineer (PE) Certification is required. In the case of 65% to 80% design or 100% design level of effort;

Base Civil Engineering will identify the requirement in advance and will identify what the Contractor is responsible for designing.

4.2. Statement of Work (SOW): The initial document, with drawings where applicable, provided to the Contractor by the Government outlining the work to be completed. The SOW may also detail a required or desired performance period.

5. Contractor’s Proposal Package. The proposal package includes written descriptions documenting the detailed work elements required by each Government RFP prepared by the Contractor from the SOW. The Contractor shall submit for Government review, one electronic (by e-mail) copy of the price proposal for technical evaluation, presenting the Contractor’s offer as determined by the Government. The Contractor pricing shall be submitted in the following formats; (1) pdf by line item list, (1) e4clicks estimate by line item list. The Contractor’s design shall be IAW paragraph 5.10. The format shall as a minimum include: a detailed cost estimate (in the authorized format); all Government requested project design drawings and thorough applicable design calculations IAW paragraph 5.8 thru 5.11 and a Material Submittal Schedule (AF 66) reflecting proposed product submissions and required contract reports. When the Contractor desires to offer alternatives, they shall: clearly state and identify alternatives proposed; their segregated associative costs; a delineation of impacted line items; and advantages and disadvantages for Government evaluation. The Contractor shall provide support, verification and justified reasoning behind their proposal to alter the Government’s project request.

5.1. Technical Plan. The Contractor shall develop a detailed project technical plan incorporating all elements of the agreed upon proposal, SOW, all applicable Base, Local, State and Federal regulations, and all comments and or mitigations identified on the project SOW. All elements of the price proposal shall be captured in the technical plan and drawings. The awarded negotiated price proposal shall be used for reference to verify scope or drawing omissions if necessary, however the preference and intent is for all elements of work and major items for installation to be on the plan and drawings.

5.2. Cost Estimates. Cost estimates shall be calculated using the e4clicks, see paragraph 7.

5.3. AF Form 66, Schedule of Material Submittals (AF 66). For each project request, the Contractor shall provide one copy of an AF 66 reflecting all proposed materials and required contract documents to the CO for approval.
