BIDDING SCHEDULE

NOTES

1. All quantities shown on the BIDDING SCHEDULE are estimated quantities except when the unit is shown as job "JOB".

2. When bids are solicited on a unit price basis, bidders shall insert in the spaces provided therefore in the SCHEDULE both the "unit price" and the "estimated amount" resulting from applying the said unit price to the estimated quantity shown. In event the bidder quotes only a total price ("estimated amount") in its bid and fails to quote the unit price, the Government will determine such unit price by dividing the total price quoted by the quantity of the item set out in the SCHEDULE. The bidder agrees that the unit price so determined shall be used for the purpose of bid evaluation, award and all payments to the Contractor including final payment.

3. All extensions of the unit prices shown will be subject to verification by the Government. In case of variation between the unit price and the extension, the unit price will be considered to be the bid and the extension will be corrected accordingly.

4. If a modification to a bid based on unit prices is submitted, which provides for a lump sum adjustment to the total estimated cost, the application of the lump sum adjustment to each unit price in the bid schedule must be stated. If it is not stated, the bidder agrees that the lump sum adjustment shall be applied on a pro rata basis to every unit price in the bid schedule.

5. Bidders are required to bid on all items listed on the Bidding

Schedule in addition to inserting a total quoted bid in the appropriate space provided. Failure to do so will be considered good cause to disqualify the bid.

6. OPTIONAL BID ITEMS. Bid Item Nos. 0007 thru 0015 are OPTIONAL

ITEMS. Upon the review of inspection at the site, the Contracting Officer, in accordance with the specifications and drawings, will direct the optional bid item work as needed. The Contractor shall perform the appropriate work ONLY when directed by the Contracting Officer. The Government is not obligated to request any work under any optional item(s). The bid prices for each optional item shall represent your firm price to perform that service. Payment will be made ONLY for work actually requested and performed to the Government’s satisfaction.

7. EVALUATION OF SUBDIVIDED ITEMS (MAR 1995) UAI 5152.211-9000

Item Nos. 0003 thru 0005 and 0007 thru 0011 are subdivided into two or more estimated quantities and are to be separately priced. The Government will evaluate each of these items on the basis of total price of its sub-items.

8. VARIATIONS IN ESTIMATED QUANTITIES - SUBDIVIDED ITEMS. UAI 5152.211-

9001. This variation in estimated quantities clause is applicable only to Item Nos. 0003 thru 0005 and 0007 thru 0011.

(a) Variation from the estimated quantity in the actual work performed under any second or subsequent sub-item or elimination of all work under such a second or subsequent sub-item will not be the basis for an adjustment in contract unit price.

(b) Where the actual quantity of work performed for Item Nos. 0003 thru 0005 and 0007 thru 0011 is less than 85 percent of the quantity of the first sub-item listed under such item, the Contractor will be paid at the contract unit price for that sub-item for the actual quantity of work performed, and, in addition, an equitable adjustment shall be made in accordance with the Contract Clause FAR 52.211-18, Variation in Estimated Quantities.

(c) If the actual quantity of work performed under Item Nos. 0003 thru 0005 and 0007 thru 0011 exceeds 115 percent or is less than 85 percent of the total estimated quantity of the sub-items under that item, and/or if the quantity of work performed under the second sub-item or any subsequent sub-item under Item Nos. 0003 thru 0005 and 0007 thru 0011 exceeds 115 percent or is less than 85 percent of the estimated quantity of any such sub-item, and if such variation causes an increase or a decrease in the time required for performance of this contract, the contract completion time will be adjusted in accordance with the Contract Clause FAR 52.211-18, Variation in Estimated Quantities.

If in the opinion of the Contracting Officer there are no contract unit or lump sum prices applicable to any part of such work, an equitable adjustment pursuant to

DOCUMENT 00 08 00 Page 2 the Contract Clause entitled, "Changes," of the contract will be made as full compensation for the repairs of that part of the permanent work for which there are no applicable contract unit or lump sum prices. Except as herein provided, damage to all work (including temporary construction), utilities, materials, equipment, and plant shall be repaired to the satisfaction of the Contracting Officer at the Contractor's expense, regardless of the cause of such damage.

(2) If the contractor is mobilized to the site, the contractor may choose to demobilize if the river level is greater than twenty-seven(27) and forecast to be greater than twenty-seven (27) on

DOCUMENT 00 08 00 Page 8 the Chester gage for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive days.

1.23 CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS

In accordance with the provisions of Subpart 36.201(Evaluation of Contractor Performance) of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), construction contractor's performance shall be evaluated throughout the performance of the contract. The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) follows the procedures outlined in Engineering Regulation 415-1-17 to fulfill this FAR requirement. For construction contracts awarded at or above $100,000.00, the USACE will evaluate contractor's performance and prepare a performance report using the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), which is a web-based system. After an evaluation (interim or final) is written up by the USACE, the contractor will have the ability to access, review and comment on the evaluation for a period of 30 days. Accessing and using CPARS requires specific software, called PKI certification, which is installed on the user's computer. The certification is a Department of Defense requirement and was implemented to provide security in electronic transactions. The certification software could cost approximately $110 - $125 per certificate per year and is purchased from an External Certificate Authorities (ECA) vendor.

Current information about the PKI certification process and for contacting vendors can be found on the web site: http://www.cpars.navy.mil/. If the Contractor wishes to participate in the performance evaluation process, access to CPARS and PKI certification is the sole responsibility of the Contractor.
