B. Other Work: Government may award separate contract(s) for the following construction operations at Project site. This work may precede, run concurrently, or take place after the scope of work outlined in these construction documents. The contractor must coordinate the

VIIS 244623 Repair Cruz Bay Visitor Center 01 11 00 - 2 requirements of these efforts and how they affect this project scope of work with the

Contracting Officer.

1. FF&E Displacement and Re-Installation: A separate contract may be awarded to another contractor/Vendor (TBD) for moving furniture, fixtures, and equipment

(FF&E) from the Vistiors Center to a storage location for the construction duration.

Then, the contractor/vendor would move it back upon construction completion.

2. Playground and Site Upgrades: A separate contract may be awarded to another contractor (TBD) for upgrades to the existing playground and landscape East and

Southeast of the Visitors Center. This includes new playground equipment, landscaping, and walkways.

1.4 CONTRACTOR USE OF SITE

A. General: Contractor shall have full use of the site for construction operations during the construction period with a couple exceptions. Contractor’s use of the building/site must account for partial occupancy associated with the phasing plan, PH101, to keep the Law

Enforcement area and Visitors Contact area open throughout as much of construction as possible. Contractor's use of the site is also limited by the Government's right to perform work or to retain other contractors on portions of Project.

B. Storage of Materials: Locations for staging areas and storage of materials are identified on drawings. However, space is limited at this site. The Contractor is ultimately responsible for accommodating these needs, both from a scope and bid price standpoint. If more suitable locations are identified by the Contractor, notify the Contracting Officer for approval, prior to use.

1. Schedule deliveries to minimize use of driveways and entrances.

2. Schedule deliveries to minimize space and time requirements for storage of materials and equipment on-site.

E. Construction Camp: Establishment of a camp within the park will not be permitted.

VIIS 244623 Repair Cruz Bay Visitor Center 01 11 00 - 3

F. Hauling Restrictions: Comply with all legal load restrictions in the hauling of materials.

Load restrictions on park roads are identical to the state load restrictions with such additional regulations as may be imposed by the Park Superintendent. Information regarding rules and regulations for vehicular traffic on park roads may be obtained from the

Office of the Park Superintendent. A special permit will not relieve Contractor of liability for damage which may result from moving of equipment.

6. Standby unit rates used are to be in accordance with paragraph 1.3, D, 2, above. If the US Army Corp of Engineers is utilized then their standby rates prevail. If Bluebook or local equipment pricing is accepted, then ½ of the 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, the established standby rate shall apply from the first day of the delay.

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

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 not exceed the following percentages for OH&P for contractor self-performed work:

a. Overhead………………10% Profit…………… ……..10%

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, than the partnership may only receive home office overhead and profit in the same amount as an individual contractor (refer to par 1.3,E,1 above). It is the responsibility of the partners to decide on the division of revenue.

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