ATTACHMENT 6 General Conditions Breakout.xlsx

This file is a General Conditions cost breakout template for use in the Schedule of Values submission for a construction contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs. The template is structured to capture and itemize all general conditions costs associated with a construction project to replace main electrical distribution equipment at a Veterans Integrated Service Network 9 facility (Solicitation 36C24926R0073). The document provides line items organized into three primary cost categories: Project Management (including superintendent, safety manager, CPM scheduler, quality assurance/quality control, project managers, field office engineers, and support staff); Bonds and Insurance (builder's risk insurance, general liability insurance, and security/payment/performance bonds); and Site Conditions (temporary utilities, facilities, environmental controls, security, and documentation measures). Each line item is presented with a zero-dollar placeholder value, requiring contractors to populate actual costs during proposal submission.

The file references VAAR 852.243-70 Construction Contract Changes-Supplement, which establishes contractual restrictions stipulating that overhead and contractor fee percentages must encompass insurance (excluding subcontractor-specific policies), field and office supervision, security, small tools, incidental job burdens, and general home office expenses with no separate allowance permitted. The template serves as a compliance instrument to ensure transparent cost allocation and adherence to federal contracting requirements for the Veterans Affairs construction project.
