11.1 Terms Explained:

11.1.1 Line Item Costs: The cost of a line item shall be the item’s total bare cost based on a national average as defined by RS Means Pricing Book, a non pre-priced item at bare cost, or a service/permit/fee/certification as defined by the lowest price from competitive bids. Line items may not be altered or modified.

11.1.2 RS Means Pricing Book (MPB): Includes all items of work from a current year RS Means Facilities Cost Data Guide, RS Means Assemblies and RS Means Master Composite Cost Data. The line items are priced primarily using contractor furnished RS Means electronic data bases. The MPB costs is defined as the bare costs unit pricing for the purpose of this contract. The RS Means labor costs are included as line items of work. They are non-negotiable.

11.1.3 Non Pre-Priced Items (NPP): Defined as items of work not included in the MPB but required for execution of a TO and within the scope and general intent of the contract. These items must be submitted, approved and or negotiated if necessary. If no comparable line item exists in RS Means for unique equipment and materials then a NPP item may be developed. There is no limit to the number of NPP items which can be included in a project, however NPP items and Specialized Services cummulatively cannot exceed 10 % of the total price of the project. The Contracting Officer may on a limited basis approve the total in excess of 10 %. Contractor shall provide justification for all non-pre-priced items and quantities with each TO proposal. All NPP shall be negotiated.

11.1.4 Specialized Services: Defined as services such as Architecture and Engineering (AE) designs, stamped drawings, certifications, permits and specialized fees either not included in RS Means or not allowed as an RS Means line item but within the general scope of work for the TO. There is no limit to the number of Specialized Services which can be included in a project, however NPP items and Specialized Services cummulatively cannot exceed 10 % of the total price of the project. The Contracting Officer may on a limited basis approve the total in excess of 10 %. Contractor shall provide justification for all specialized services for each TO proposal. All specialized services shall be negotiated.

11.1.5 Local Area Adjustment Factor: The RS Means total weighted average city cost index for the city of Dayton Ohio, or the nearest city.

11.1.6 Coefficient: Respective coefficients are multiplied against the standard unit prices at bare cost in the MPB, non pre-priced items and specialized services to calculate task order prices. A coefficient is defined as a numerical factor that compensates the Contractor for any and all costs (generally indirect costs) and profit not included in the MPB bare costs unit pricing or not allowed (such as Division 1 – General Requirements). The coefficients shall include but are not limited to additional costs for overhead, profit, labor burden for the prime Contractor and subcontractors, bond premiums, insurance, taxes, any adjustment factors for average TO size, proposal preparation costs for withdrawn TOs, costs associated with procurement of required tools, equipment, software, specifications, computers and compliance with environmental laws. Coefficients should also include cost for design, daily cleanup, protection or incidental moving of Government property including furniture, portable toilets, and administrative and technical support. No allowance shall be considered later for these costs. There shall be four separate coefficients to serve as adjustments to compensate the contractor: Coefficients A, B, C & D.

11.1.6.1 Coefficient A: The bare costs unit prices as established by the MPB are multiplied against Coefficient A to arrive at the actual price for a unit of work. Labor line items from Division 01 of the RS Means Pricing book shall not be used when preparing an estimate. The costs of items associated with DIV 01 labor shall be included in the contractor’s adjustment factor for normal working hours prevailing wage, unless otherwise stated in Sections 11.1.6.3 – 11.1.6.6. Coefficient A shall be for work performed during standard working hours; defined as 40 hours per week between the hours of 0700 – 1700 from Monday through Friday with the exception of Federal Holidays (see Section 20.1).

11.1.6.2 Coefficient B: The bare costs unit prices as established by the MPB are multiplied against Coefficient B to arrive at the actual price for a unit of work. Labor line items from Division 01 of the RS Means Pricing book shall not be used when preparing an estimate. The costs of items associated with DIV 01 labor shall be included in the contractor’s adjustment factor for normal working hours prevailing wage, unless otherwise stated in Sections 11.1.6.3 – 11.1.6.6. Coefficient B shall be for work performed during non-standard working hours; defined as work performed anytime outside the hours of 0700 – 1700 from Monday through Friday, and work during the week surpassing 40 hours. This also includes weekends and Federal Holidays (see Section 20.1). It is anticipated that 5 percent of projects over the course of the contract shall utilize Coefficient B.

11.1.6.3 Coefficient C: The non pre-priced items such as specialized equipment and material not available in the RS Means but within the general scope of the work for the TO are multiplied against Coefficient C to arrive at the actual price for a unit of work. The Contractor shall provide recommendation on what adjustments could be made to the general scope of work so it may be priced under RS Means. The Government may adjust the general scope of work to match RS Means line item descriptions which would eliminate the need of the non pre-priced item. The Contractor shall provide proof of payment of the same when the work is complete. Reference Section 11.4.1.3 for applying to TO estimate. Contractor shall provide a minimum of (3) quotes from venders/supplies/subcontractors for all NPP items. Provide all quotes with specifications with proposal. The Contracting Officer will select from the range of quotes The maximum range for Coefficient C shall be 1.10.

11.1.6.4 Coefficient D: Specialized services such as architecture and engineer (AE) services, certifications, permits and fees not included in RS Means but within the general scope of work for the TO shall be multiplied by Coefficient D to arrive at the actual price for a unit of work. Proof of cost shall be provided by submitting the associated AE proposal or permit fee schedule with the estimate. The Contractor shall provide proof of payment of the same when work is complete. The maximum range for Coefficient D shall be 1.10.

Mandatory carpet use referenced under 6.5.2. Contractor shall provide two (2) quotes for material only from the mandatory vendor list under 6.5.2. Contracting Officer will verify with the negotiated prices. The maximum range for Coefficient D for Mandatory Cartpet use shall be 1.10 or $500, whichever is less.

11.1.6.5 Contingencies such as changes to labor wages and inflation shall be adjusted annually by the annual economic price adjustment to the MPB. Any change in the applicable minimum hourly rates of wages during the contract period shall not affect the unit prices to be paid by the Government for work performed under the contract.

11.1.6.6 The Contractor shall consider the following factors that affectthe calculation of the coefficients:

1. The coefficients are fixed for the term of the contract.

2. The MPB prices are for “in-place” quantities. There shall be no allowances added for waste, compaction, storage, shipping, staging, handling, etc.

3. The MPB prices are limited to Bare Cost unit pricing only. Contractor should carefully consider all costs not included in RS Means Bare Costs unit pricing in order to diligently determine numeric factors for Coefficients A & B.

4. MPB usage limitations apply (reference Section 11.4) which may impact all coefficients.

5. Daily clean up shall be performed at all active project sites. It shall not be a direct TO cost but shall be paid from the coefficients.

6. The coefficients shall cover all the items typically designated as general conditions, bonding, profit and overhead including administrative/technical support and labor burden for the prime Contractor’s office staff and workforce.

7. All vehicles, office supplies/setup, administrative requirements, and equipment/tools which are customary to the trade shall be part of overhead, and therefore included in the coefficients.

8. Common trade tools and equipment shall be included in the coefficients; they shall not be allowed as a direct cost to any TO except under special circumstances. Only heavy equipment such as large scaffolding, dumpsters, generators, cranes, lifts, excavators and earthmoving equipment may be allowed as a direct cost to the TO. If any specialty equipment rental is necessary, the contractor may request Government approval to add the specified equipment as a direct cost to the TO. Common hand tools, ladders, power tools, laser levels, flatbed trailers, pick-up trucks or vans, cleaning equipment and other common equipment to the trade shall not be used as a direct cost to any TO. The cost of maintaining, fueling, operating, mobilizing, demobilizing and transporting the Contractor’s equipment shall be included in the coefficients and shall not be used as a direct cost to any TO.

9. RS Means unit prices are based on projects ranging from $10,000 to $1,000,000. An average SABER TO shall range from $5,000 to $1,000,000. Any cost adjustment for the lower average SABER TO size shall be included in the Contractor’s coefficient. No adjustment for TO size shall be allowed as a direct TO cost.

10. All line item quantities shall reflect the actual takeoff quantities without inclusion of waste material. No additional quantity shall be added for scrap or waste. For example, if the actual material length called for on the construction drawings is 12 feet, the Contractor shall not use “20 linear feet” as a line item quantity even if that material can only be obtained in 20 foot lengths. The Contractor’s coefficient shall be the means to account for scrap, waste and other additional costs.

11. Line items shall be considered all-inclusive. The Contractor shall not include quantities in addition to actual takeoff quantities to compensate for work that in the Contractor’s opinion is not adequately included in any particular line item. The Contractor shall not add additional expenses to any line item to compensate for costs such as manufacturing, shipping, installation, or similar costs (for example mold charges for split face block, shipping costs of large equipment, etc).

12. The intent of a SABER contract is simplified acquisition based on a mutually acceptable set of pre-priced construction line items from which the Government’s estimated cost and the Contractor’s proposed price can be expeditiously agreed upon. To this end, the Contractor shall base their price proposal upon the existing RS MEANS line items and not upon vendor, manufacturer, sub-contractor, etc. pricing quotations. The only exception to this requirement will be the inclusion of non pre-priced items as stipulated in this SOW.

11.2 How To Calculate a Task Order Price:

11.2.1 Total MPB Costs Normal Hours: The sum of all MPB line item costs at normal working hours.

11.2.2 Total MPB Costs After Hours: The sum of all MPB line item costs to be performed after normal duty hours or more than 40 hours in the week.

11.2.3 Total NPP Costs: The sum of all NPP line item costs.

11.2.4 Total AE Service Costs: The sum of all specialized AE permit, certification and fee line item costs.

11.2.5 Government Furnished Material and Equipment: The Government may provide materials and/or equipment for installation. When furnished, the respective RS Means material/equipment shall be deleted from the RS Means line item cost, and the remaining line item cost shall be treated as MPB line item. If an item does not exist in the MPB, the cost for that line item shall be calculated exactly as an NPP item or AE service item.

11.2.6 Project Total Bare Costs: The sum of the total MPB costs. The sum of the total NPP costs. The sum of the total AE services costs.

11.2.7 Localized Total Bare Costs: The MPB total costs multiplied by the local adjustment factor.

11.2.8 Task Order Costs: The total sum of the localized total cost of RS Means line items multiplied by the contractor’s Coefficient A, RS Means line items to be performed after hours multiplied by the contractor’s Coefficient B, the NPP cost multiplied by the contractor’s Coefficient C, and the AE services and certification cost multiplied by the contractor’s Coefficient D.

11.3 Keeping Prices Current:

11.3.1 The RS Means Construction Data Books: The list and price information for all pre-priced items covered in this contract. The current year RS Means Facilities Cost Data Guide, RS Means Assemblies and the RS Means Master Composite Cost Data Guides shall be updated each calendar year. (Example: The contract is awarded on 30 June, the 2020 MPB shall remain in effect through December 31, and be updated by 15 January 2021).
