SUMMARY OF WORK

SECTION 01 11 00 - SUMMARY OF WORK

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

A. This Section includes the following:

1. Work covered by the Contract Documents.

2. Contractor use of premises.

3. Public use of site.

4. Work Restrictions.

1.2 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

A. Project Location: Acadia National Park Harden Farm Employee Housing site on Harden Farm

Road off Kebo Street in Bar Harbor on Mount Desert Island in Hancock County, Maine.

B. The ACAD 309000 Harden Farm Phase 1C employee housing project expands the existing and recently awarded / under construction employee housing at the Harden Farm site to address increasing employee housing needs at Acadia National Park. Two buildings containing existing employee housing units exist at the site and will remain, and an initial contract for Phase 1A and

1B has been awarded to construct a loop driveway, parking areas, and utility infrastructure for an overall buildout of 8 new housing buildings in addition to re-servicing the two existing housing buildings located within the complex. A separate contract has been awarded to construct Phase 1A and 1B of the project, which includes the infrastructure for the overall complex and constructing up to four of the housing buildings, specifically two 6-plex flat buildings with 6 one-bedroom apartments in the base bid (Phase 1A), and two 8-bedroom dorm buildings as part of an additive alternate (Phase 1B). This contract, which represents Phase 1C of the project, includes constructing the remaining four housing buildings and associated site and utility improvements as depicted in the Construction Drawings; these four units consist of two 6-plex flat buildings with 6 one-bedroom apartments and two 8-bedroom dorm buildings, including access and utility services.

C. A separate Acadia National Park project will bring municipal sewer service to the site. A new sewer pump station will be installed as part of that project at the intersection of Kebo Street and the north site drive (Harden Farm Road). That separate project will also remove the existing septic system for the existing two employee housing buildings. That separate project will also include bringing three-phase electrical service to the sewer pump station and the site.

D. Coordination for municipal water service to the project is ongoing. If NPS determines that adequate municipal water service is not available, water service to the project will be addressed in a separate project.

E. Refer to specification Section 01 27 00 Definition of Contract Line Items for a general description of the Work included in the Base Bid.

Mobilization, if applicable, may be included for equipment solely used on the modification work but must be listed separately.

5. Estimate the full rate for equipment only for the duration that the equipment will be utilized to accomplish the work of the modification.

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.

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

Overhead………………10%

Profit…………………4.75%

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.

ACAD - 309000 01 26 01 - 6
