SECTION 00 41 00

BID SCHEDULE

PART 1: GENERAL

1.01 BASIS OF BIDS

A. Lump Sum and Unit Price Schedule

The project consists of restoration of shoreline at the Max Brewer Causeway.

Approximately 12,000 cubic yards (CY) of material is expected to be sourced and brought in from the approved upland sand mine. The material will be placed within the approved shoreline template along the north shoreline of the Max Brewer Causeway. Native plants sourced from approved nurseries will be planted as shown in the Drawings. The bid structure will involve using a Base Bid with Additive Options. The Base Bid quantity shall consist of 9,000 cubic yards (CY), representing seventy-five percent (75%) of the total estimated project quantity, and shall establish the basis for bid evaluation and contract award. The project will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based solely on the Base Bid amount. Following award, the OWNER may, at its sole discretion and subject to available funding, authorize the placement of additional sand beyond the Base Bid quantity, up to a maximum total project quantity of approximately 12,000 cubic yards, through written authorization. All additional sand placement shall be paid for at the per-ton unit price established in the Base Bid, with no adjustment to unit pricing. The OWNER’s intent is to place the maximum practicable quantity of sand, up to 12,000 cubic yards, within the available construction budget, without renegotiation of unit prices.

1.02 SCOPE

A. The project consists of the placement of approximately 12,000 CY of sand within the shoreline template as described herein and the drawings. Actual quantities will be based on the OWNER/ENGINEER’s preconstruction survey. The sand source shall come from an approved vendor and sediment quality shall comply with the Sediment QA/QC plan detailed herein and the regulatory permits.

B. Final St. Johns River Water Management District and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regulatory permits are in progress and have not been issued at this time. Florida Department of Transportation approvals for Maintenance of Traffic, along with any other approvals shall be obtain by Contractor. Flexibility shall be scheduled into Contractor’s response based on final issuance of all permits. Contractor will be provided at least 50 days from issuance of the full Notice to Proceed to complete the project.

C. If the quantity of a unit-priced item in this contract is an estimated quantity which has been specifically identified as eligible for adjustments due to variations in estimated quantities, and the actual quantity of the unit-priced item varies more than 20 percent above or below the estimated quantity, an equitable adjustment in the contract price shall be made upon demand of either party. The equitable adjustment shall be based upon any increase or decrease in costs due solely to the variation above 120 percent or below 80 percent of the estimated quantity. If the quantity variation is such as to cause an increase in the time necessary for completion, the CONTRACTOR may request, in writing with the demand, an extension of time consistent with associated

00 41 00-2 quantity variation. This variation in estimated quantity (VEQ) clause does not apply to all bid items, it only applies to bid items which specifically indicate eligibility under this clause in Section 01 22 00. For sand placement, the Base Bid quantity is established solely for bid evaluation purposes. Quantities of sand placed up to the estimated project quantity of approximately 12,000 cubic yards, whether included in the Base Bid or authorized by written authorization, shall not be considered variations in estimated quantities for purposes of this clause.

D. This bid shall be for a complete project and bid item prices shall include all components necessary for successful completion of the work as designed and specified.

1.5 PHYSICAL DATA

1.5.1 Physical Conditions

The physical conditions described in the project drawings and specifications are the result of topographic and visual surveys collected in 2022. The data from these site investigations will be made available at the CONTRACTOR’s request.

1.5.2 Weather, Water Stage, and Tide Data

The CONTRACTOR should investigate for himself the conditions that can be encountered at the project location.

MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT

PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

This section describes how Line Items will be measured and paid when making progress and final payments. Work to be measured and applicable measurement procedures are described in their respective specification sections. For work that does not have a specific Line Item, such as administrative procedures, quality control, safety, and environmental monitoring, allocate costs proportionally across appropriate Line Items.

1.2 VARIATION IN ESTIMATED QUANTITIES

a. All unit-priced items in this contract are estimated quantities. If the actual quantity of any unit-priced items varies more than twenty percent (20%) above the maximum estimated quantity, an equitable adjustment in the contract price shall be made upon demand of either party. The equitable adjustment shall be based upon any increase or decrease in costs due solely to the variation above 120%. The Base Bid quantity is established solely for bid evaluation and budget control purposes. Authorization of quantities beyond the Base Bid amount, up to the maximum estimated project quantity, is at the sole discretion of the OWNER and shall not constitute a variation in estimated quantities under this section.

b. If the quantity variation is such as to cause an increase in the time necessary for completion, the CONTRACTOR may request in writing, an extension of time, to be received by the OWNER within ten (10) days from the beginning of the delay, or within such further period as may be granted by the OWNER before the date of final settlement of the contract. Upon the receipt of a written request for an extension, the OWNER shall ascertain the facts and make an adjustment for extending the completion date as, in the judgement of the OWNER, is justified.

1.3 JOB PAYMENT ITEMS

1.3.1 Bid Item 1.1: Mobilization and Demobilization

Payment will be made for costs associated with and incidental to mobilization and demobilization and establishment of initial project management and coordination. Sixty percent (60%) of the lump sum price will be paid upon confirmation and approval of the first one thousand (1,000) cubic yards of material placed within the permitted shoreline template and forty percent (40%) will be paid upon completion and final acceptance of all contracted work. This bid item shall be limited to 10% of the total base bid value.

The truckload data reported in the CONTRACTOR 's daily reports shall be verified by the OWNER on-site monitor by means acceptable to both the CONTRACTOR and the OWNER. Volume delivered to a staging site will be eligible for 50% payment, while the final 50% payment will not be authorized until the sand has been transferred to the final location and graded to template. It is to be understood that all sand delivered to staging areas must be placed in final template as promptly as practical.
