MODIFICATION PROPOSAL PRICING REQUIREMENTS
General:
| Your proposal must be received in the format and within the time frame specified in the Request for Proposal letter. Costs or delays resulting from failure of contractor to submit within the time frame specified will not be compensable. |
| The proposal must be detailed with itemized lists of equipment, materials, labor, production rates, overhead, profit, and bond markup for each item. Labor costs must be itemized by craft and hourly rate, including Fringe Benefits and Labor Burden. If the costs of Fringe Benefits and Labor Burden are not itemized, it is assumed that that they are included in the hourly rate shown, or contractor is not requesting reimbursement. Contractor may utilize the government provided Contractor Estimate Form, or their own form, provided that it contains the same information and level of detail as the Gov’t provided form. |
| Requests for extensions of contract time as a result of this change must be justified with a Time Impact Analysis (TIA). Refer to Division 01 Specification, “Construction Schedule”, for time impact analysis requirements. TIA and associated costs must be received with the proposal by the date shown within the Request for Proposal letter. Contractor’s failure to submit within the specified time frame will be construed as the Contractor waiving the right for additional time and no time extension will be allowed. |
| All supporting documentation used to justify the proposed modification will be made available to the Contracting Officer upon request. |
Contractor must review and approve all subcontractor/supplier pricing in detail for proper format, scope, production rates, and pricing prior to submission to the NPS. All delay costs associated with not reviewing and approving subcontractor/supplier pricing will be borne by the Contractor.
| All pricing and production rates within the estimate must be based on fair and reasonable pricing and cannot include built-in contingency. |
| Labor: |
| Contractor shall estimate the cost of labor by itemizing each craft involved, indicating worker hourly rate (base rate + labor burden + fringe benefits) for each and itemizing the hours required for each craft that will be directly engaged in modification work. Any work proposed that will require overtime work or premium pay shall be itemized separately. All rates shall be in accordance with the Davis-Bacon Act as incorporated herein. Labor Burden may include payroll taxes, Social Security, unemployment insurances, workers compensation insurance, FICA, FUTA, and other direct costs resulting from Federal, State or local laws. |
| Itemize labor costs for equipment operators separate from equipment costs. |
| The labor cost for foremen shall only be costs for related work required for the modification. |
| Materials: |
| The estimated cost for materials shall include quotes from multiple sources. Material prices must include all applicable fees and credits, including but not limited to, sales tax, freight and delivery charges, and tax rebates. |
| No markup shall be applied to any material provided by the NPS. |
| Equipment: |
| Equipment used for the project must be appropriately sized for the work being performed. |
| Do not include costs for “miscellaneous tools and equipment”, in your proposal for a replacement value of $500 or less. Costs shown in excess of $500 must be broken out separately. |
| Regardless of ownership, the rates to be used in determining equipment rental costs shall be the lowest cost from one of the following sources: |
| U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Ownership and Operating Expense Schedule (use latest edition and applicable region) |
| Construction Blue Book |
| Local equipment rental rates, documented by actual invoice charges, or itemized vendor quotes. |
| The estimated equipment rates shall include the operating costs of all fuel, oil, lubrication, supplies, small tools, necessary attachments, ground engaging components, tires & tracks, routine repairs, and maintenance (cost of major repair and overhaul is not allowed per FAR 31.105(d)(2)), depreciation, storage, insurance, and all incidentals. Mobilization, if applicable, may be included for equipment solely used on the modification work but must be listed separately. |
| Estimate the full rate for equipment only for the duration that the equipment will be utilized to accomplish the work of the modification. |
| 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. |
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.
| 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. | |
| Requests for compensation for equipment stand by time must be justified, documented, and itemized separately. | |
| The estimated timeframe (daily, weekly, monthly) for use of the equipment must reflect the lowest cost to the Government. | |
| Establishment and Application of Overhead and Profit Percentages: | |
| 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: | |
| Overhead… | 10% |
| Profit…… | 10% |
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.
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.
| 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. |
| At no time can profit be calculated on Overhead or itself, it must be calculated on direct costs of work only. |

CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE
SECTION 01 32 16 – CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE PART 1 - GENERAL
| SUMMARY |
| This Section consists of Construction Schedule requirements including but not limited to the following: |
| Schedule of Values |
| Construction Schedule Requirements. |
| Construction Schedule Updates. |
| Time Impact Analysis. |
| Purpose: The purpose of the Construction Schedule is to ensure adequate planning, coordination, scheduling, and reporting during execution of the work by the Contractor. The Construction Schedule will assist the Contractor and Contracting Officer in monitoring the progress of the work, evaluating proposed changes, and processing the Contractor's monthly progress payment. |
| DEFINITIONS |
| Activity: A discrete part of a project that can be identified for planning, scheduling, monitoring, and controlling the construction project. Activities included in a construction schedule consume time and resources. |
| Critical activities are activities on the critical path. They must start and finish on the planned early start and finish times. |
| Predecessor Activity: An activity that precedes another activity in the network. |
| Successor Activity: An activity that follows another activity in the network. |
| Cost Loading: The allocation of the Schedule of Values for the completion of an activity as scheduled. The sum of costs for all activities must equal the total Contract Sum, unless otherwise approved by the Contracting Officer. |
| CPM: Critical path method, which is a method of planning and scheduling a construction project where activities are arranged based on activity relationships. Network calculations determine when activities can be performed and the critical path of Project. |
| Critical Path: The longest connected chain of interdependent activities through the network schedule that establishes the minimum overall Project duration and contains no float. |
| Float: The measure of leeway in starting and completing an activity. |
| Float: Float is not for the exclusive use or benefit of either the Government or the Contractor but is jointly owned. |
| Free float is the amount of time an activity can be delayed without adversely affecting the early start of the successor activity. |
3. Total float is the measure of leeway in starting or completing an activity without adversely affecting the planned Project completion date.
F.
Resource Loading: The allocation of manpower and equipment necessary for the completion of an activity as scheduled.
G.
Fragnet: A partial or fragmentary network that breaks down activities into smaller activities for greater detail.
1.3
SUBMITTALS
A.
Electronic Copies: All schedules and reports submitted shall be posted on the NPS DSC SharePoint project website, provided in the native electronic file format. It is the intent of the Government to limit the number of printed reports to only those reports determined by the project team to be essential.
B.
Schedule of Values: After contract award and before the Pre-Construction conference submit a schedule of dollar values based on the Contract Price Schedule.
C.
Construction Baseline Schedule: After contract award and before the Pre-Construction conference, submit two paper copies of baseline schedule, large enough to show entire schedule for entire construction period.
D.
Construction Schedule Updates: On or before the 7th day preceding the progress payment request date, submit estimates of the percent completion of each schedule activity and necessary supporting data. Provide two paper copies.
1.4
QUALITY ASSURANCE
A.
The Contractor shall meet with the Contracting Officer on the day of the preconstruction conference to go over the following:
| Review software limitations, content, and format for reports. |
| Verify availability of qualified personnel needed to develop and update schedule. |
| Discuss constraints, including phasing, work stages, area separations, interim milestones, and partial Government occupancy. |
| Review delivery dates for Government-furnished products. |
| Review schedule for work of separate Government contracts. |
| Review time required for review of submittals and re-submittals. |
| Review requirements for tests and inspections by independent testing and inspecting agencies. |
| Review time required for completion and startup procedures. |
| Review time required for obtaining and activating permits. |
| Review and finalize list of construction activities to be included in schedule. |
| Review baseline schedule comments, resolve issues and progress on incorporating them. |
| Review procedures for updating schedule. |
| Discuss reporting requirements and establish a protocol for naming and transmitting electronic schedules. |
Contractor's Schedule Representative: Before or at the preconstruction conference, designate an authorized representative to be responsible for the preparation and maintenance of the Construction Schedule. A resume outlining the qualifications of the Scheduler shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer for acceptance. The Scheduler shall have prepared and maintained at least 5 previous schedules of similar size and complexity similar to this Contract, demonstrating proficiency in the use of scheduling software. The authorized representative will be responsible for preparing the Baseline Schedule, all required updates, revisions, Time Impact Analyses, and preparation of reports.
| COORDINATION |
| Coordinate preparation and processing of schedules and reports with performance of construction activities and with scheduling and reporting of separate Contractors. |
Coordinate Construction Baseline Schedule with the Schedule of Values, list of subcontracts, Submittals Schedule, progress reports, payment requests, and other required schedules and reports.
| In developing the Construction Baseline Schedule, ensure that the Subcontractor’s work at all tiers, as well as the prime Contractor’s work, is included and coordinated. |
| Secure time commitments for performing critical elements of the Work from parties involved. |
| Coordinate each construction activity in the network with other activities and schedule them in proper sequence. |
PART 2 - PRODUCTS
| SCHEDULE OF VALUES |
| Breakdown each lump-sum item into component work activities used in the schedule, for which progress payments may be requested. The work activities broken out within the schedule of values shall be integrated into and made a logical part of the construction baseline schedule submitted under this specification. The total costs for the component work activities shall equal the contract price for that lump-sum item. The Contracting Officer may request data to verify accuracy of dollar values. Include mobilization, general condition costs, overhead and profit in the total dollar value of unit price items and in the component work activities for each lump-sum item. Do not include mobilization, general condition costs, overhead or profit as a separate item. |
| Do not break down unit price items. Use only the contract price for unit price items. |
| The total cost of all items shall equal the contract price. The Schedule of Values will form the basis for progress payments. |
An acceptable Schedule of Values shall be agreed upon by the Contractor and Contracting Officer before the first progress payment is processed.
| CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE REQUIREMENTS |
| Construction Baseline Schedule: Prepare Construction Baseline Schedule using a computerized, cost and resource-loaded, time-scaled CPM network analysis diagram for the Work. |
| Develop and finalize Construction Baseline Schedule so it can be accepted for use no later than 30 days after date established for the Notice of Award. |
| Failure to include any work item required for performance of this Contract shall not excuse Contractor from completing all work within applicable completion dates, regardless of Governments acceptance of the schedule. |
| Establish procedures for monitoring and updating Construction Baseline Schedule and for reporting progress. Coordinate procedures with progress meeting and payment request dates. |
| Construction Baseline Schedule Preparation: Prepare a list of all activities required to complete the Work. Using the preliminary CPM network diagram, prepare a skeleton network to identify probable critical paths. |
| Activities: Indicate the estimated duration, sequence requirements, and relationship of each activity in relation to other activities. |
| Critical Path Activities: Identify critical path activities, including those for interim completion dates. Scheduled start and completion dates shall be consistent with Contract milestone dates. |
Processing: Process data to produce output data on a computer-drawn, time-scaled network. Revise data, reorganize activity sequences, and reproduce as often as necessary to produce the CPM schedule within the limitations of the Contract Time.
The Construction Baseline Schedule as developed shall show the sequence and interdependence of activities required for complete performance of the work. Ensure all work sequences are logical and the Construction Baseline Schedule shows a coordinated plan of the work.
