Refer to Section 01 32 16 "Construction Schedule", for time impact analysis requirements. TIA and associated costs shall be received with the proposal by the date shown within the Request for Proposal letter.

a. United States (U.S.) Army Corps of Engineers, Ownership and Operating Expense Schedule (use latest edition and applicable region)

b. Construction Blue Book

HAFE 242454 01 26 01 - 5

6. Standby unit rates used in accordance with paragraph 1.3, D, 2, above. If the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers is utilized then their standby rates prevail. If Bluebook or local equipment pricing is accepted, then 1/2 of 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, established standby rate shall apply from the first day of the delay.

8. Equipment not used and on job site for up to five consecutive days may be classified at standby rates, provided the equipment is or has been used solely to perform work on the modification and will be necessary to complete additional modification work.

Equipment 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.

E. Establishment and Application of Overhead and Profit Percentages:

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

Overhead………………6% Profit………………10%

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, partnership may only receive home office overhead and profit in same amount as an individual Contractor (refer to paragraph 1.3,E,1 above). It is the responsibility of the partners to decide on division of revenue.

4. Combined Increases and Decreases: On proposals involving both increases and decreases in the Contract Price, overhead and profit mark-ups are required on net increases and deducted on net decreases.

1.2 DEFINITIONS

A. Agency with Jurisdiction: An Agency that has been granted legal authority over a location, action, or resource. This authority includes the ability to issue a permit or other legal permission document.

B. Construction Permits – Contractor Provided: Permits obtained by the Contractor based on the means and methods to conduct the work. Construction Permits are typically issued by the Agency to the Contractor and not to the National Park Service. Examples of typical Contractor

Provided Permits are: National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Construction

Permit (ground disturbance), dewatering permit, permit for work in a roadway (with traffic management plan), temporary utility tap permit, etc.

C. Government Furnished Permits: Obtained by National Park Service (NPS), usually through the Architect/Engineer (A/E) or a consultant, during the design process (Predesign (PD) through

Construction Documents (CD)) and are usually concerned with impacts to resources protected by

HAFE 242454 01 31 00 - 2

federal law. However, GF permits can include other permits that are obtained for the convenience of the Government during design. GF permits are "furnished" to the Contractor in the Request for

Proposal (RFP) and as part of the final contract documents. The Contractor must comply with GF permit provisions. Examples of typical GF permits: Clean Water Act (CWA) 404 dredge and fill permit, CWA Water Quality Certification (often state administered), Highway Right-of-Way

Permit, etc.
