About this file
This is a specifications attachment for a Geothermal HVAC system installation project at a federal facility in Caroline County, Virginia. The Government is seeking a single firm-fixed price contract award through a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable process, with a 100% HubZone set-aside restriction limiting competition to HubZone-certified small businesses. The NAICS code is 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) with a small business size standard of $19 million. The contract performance period is estimated at 270 calendar days from notice to proceed, with negotiable duration terms. Davis Bacon wage rates apply per General Wage Decision VA20260015 for building construction in Caroline County, Virginia.
The procurement is being managed by the Department of the Interior National Park Service Northeast Region. An organized site visit is scheduled for Monday, August 24, 2026, at 10:00 AM Eastern, with points of contact Wendy DeLeon (wendy_deleon@ios.doi.gov) and Brian Stone (brian_e_stone@nps.gov). Prospective contractors should review all solicitation attachments and specifications prior to submitting offers. Only HubZone-certified firms are eligible; offers from non-HubZone concerns will be rejected as nonresponsive.

FRSP 304741 01 26 01 - 4
utilize the government provided Contractor Estimate Form, or their own form, provided that it contains the same information and level of detail as the Government’s form.

2. No markup shall be applied to any material provided by NPS.
D. Equipment:
1. Equipment used for the project must be appropriately sized for work being performed.
2. Do not include costs for "miscellaneous tools and equipment", in your proposal for a replacement value of $500 or less. Costs shown in excess of $500 shall be broken out separately.
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
FRSP 304741 01 26 01 - 5
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, 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. Standby unit rates used in accordance with paragraph 1.3, D, 2, above. If the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers 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.
7. 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.
8. Equipment not used and on job 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.
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.
E. Establishment and Application of Overhead and Profit Percentages:

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 not exceed the following percentages for OH&P for contractor self-performed work:
Overhead………………..5% 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, 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.
