NPS will provide weed management details once a borrow source has been confirmed.

3. Contractor shall implement the Clean Fill Protocol for Contaminated Sites for fill material from a borrow source, including sources on NPS property.

1.5 CONTRACTOR USE OF SITE

A. General: Contractor shall have limited use of Site for removal action operations. Limit use of premises to excavation areas, haul roads, and staging areas indicated on drawings. Do not disturb portions of Site beyond areas in which the Work is indicated.

EDL # 5MWR2220 SECTION 01 26 01 - 4

3. Requests for extensions of contract time as a result of change must be justified.

Contractor’s failure to submit within the specified time frame will be construed as the

Contractor waiving 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 CO upon request.

5. Contractor shall review and approve all subcontractor/supplier pricing in detail for proper format, scope, production rates, and pricing prior to submission to NPS. All delay costs associated with not reviewing and approving subcontractor/supplier pricing will be borne by the Contractor.

6. All pricing and production rates within the estimate must be based on fair and reasonable pricing and cannot include built-in contingency.

B. Labor:

1. Contractor shall estimate cost of labor by itemizing each craft involved, indicating worker hourly rate (base rate + labor burden + fringe benefits) for each and itemizing hours required for each craft directly engaged in modification Work. Any Work proposed requiring overtime work or premium pay shall be itemized separately. Rates shall be in accordance with the Construction Wage Rates Requirements Statute (CWRRS) as incorporated herein. Labor Burden may include payroll taxes, Social Security, unemployment insurances, workers compensation insurance, Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA), FUTA, and other direct costs resulting from Federal, State or local laws.

3. Regardless of ownership, rates to be used in determining equipment rental costs shall be the lowest cost from one of the following sources:

a. United States (U.S.) Army Corps of Engineers, Ownership and Operating

Expense Schedule (use latest edition and applicable region).

b. Construction Blue Book.

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

4. Estimated equipment rates shall include operating costs of all fuel, oil, lubrication, supplies, small tools, necessary attachments, ground engaging components, tires and tracks, routine repairs and maintenance (cost of major repair and overhaul is not allowed per Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 31.105(d)(2)), depreciation, EDL # 5MWR2220 SECTION 01 26 01 - 5 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 full rate for equipment only for duration that equipment will be utilized to accomplish Work of the modification.

6. Equipment not used and on the Site for up to five consecutive days may be classified at standby rates, provided the equipment is or has been used solely to perform Work on the modification and will be necessary to complete additional modification Work.

Equipment still on the jobsite but not in use after five consecutive days will not be considered in the modification pricing.

7. Standby unit rates used in accordance with paragraph 1.3, D, 2, above. If the U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers Ownership and Operating Expense Schedule is utilized, then their standby rates prevail. If Bluebook or local equipment pricing is accepted, then 1/2 of equipment costs minus any operating costs, major repair and overhaul will be accepted.

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

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

E. Establishment and Application of Overhead and Profit Percentages:

1. Home Office Overhead and Profit (OH&P) shall be applied to direct costs only. Profit shall not be applied to overhead amounts; and overhead shall not be applied to profit.

Home office overhead shall contain only allowable, allocable, and reasonable costs per the contract documents and FAR Part 31. Profit percentages are based on risk factors found in FAR Part 31which have been applied to the specific type of work included in this Project. Negotiated rates shall generally not exceed the following percentages for OH&P for contractor self-performed Work:

Overhead………………10%

Profit………….....……10%

2. Total aggregate limit of markup (OH&P) for Contractor and subcontractors on modification Work shall not exceed 20 percent. The NPS will not be responsible for allocation of percentages between contractor and subcontractors at any tier.

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

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