A written Scope of Work, Plan view of the work, Typical sections if needed, Pavement structural section, Details as needed, and A Bid Form which contains estimated pay item quantities to be used on the project.

Once the Contracting Officer receives the required documents from the Engineer, he will issue the Contractor a Task Order for review. The Contracting Officer will then schedule a site visit with the Contractor and Engineer to review the site and discuss the scope of the Task Order.

Any questions regarding the Task Order shall be submitted in writing to the Contracting Officer.

Within seven calendar days after the site visit, the Contractor shall return to the Contracting Officer a completed Bid Form using the form provided by the Government. The Bid Form will contain the Pay Items estimated by the Engineer, the Contractor’s estimated quantities to be used on the project, the unit bid price, total Pay Item price, and, if needed, additional Pay Items the Contractor believes are necessary to complete the work. For each Pay Item that the Contractor adds or deletes from the Engineer’s estimated list, the Contractor shall write a statement which explains why the item is needed, or not needed, and calculations showing how the quantity was derived.

The Contractor shall also include a statement and calculations which explains any Pay Item quantity deviation of 10% or more from the Engineer’s estimated Pay Item quantity.

The Contracting Officer will then forward the Contractor’s submitted documents to the Engineer for evaluation.

Upon receipt, the Engineer will either:

1. Accept the Contractor’s completed Bid Form and explanations for any additional items or quantities listed by the Contractor, or

2. Reject all or portions of the Contractor’s Bid Form. The Engineer will provide a written explanation for any rejections.

The Engineer will then submit the evaluation to the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer may schedule a meeting to clarify the scope of the work if necessary.
