About this file

This document is a comprehensive set of demolition specifications for the Bartlett House located at 40 Ocean View Drive in Eastham, Massachusetts, part of Cape Cod National Seashore. The project involves complete demolition of an existing residential property, with significant emphasis on environmental protection, bluff stability, and careful management of potential hazardous materials. Key requirements include conducting a thorough geotechnical assessment of the adjacent bluff, implementing comprehensive erosion control measures, performing hazardous material testing and abatement (including asbestos, PCBs, and lead-based paint), and ensuring minimal environmental disturbance during demolition.

The project scope includes removing all structures, foundations, utilities, and site improvements, with specific attention to ecological preservation and safety. Contractors must adhere to strict environmental protocols, including protecting native wildlife habitats (such as eastern box turtle and migratory bird nesting areas), managing potential archaeological resources, and implementing extensive stormwater and sediment control measures. The demolition must be performed using equipment and methods approved to prevent bluff destabilization, with continuous monitoring by a geotechnical engineer. The project will require detailed documentation, environmental testing, and proper disposal of all materials, with a strong focus on recycling and minimizing environmental impact.

B. Geotechnical/Coastal Engineer's Role in Demolition: The geotechnical or coastal engineer will be responsible for approving the demolition methodology near the bluff, monitoring erosion control measures throughout the project, and providing immediate recommendations if instability or erosion concerns arise during demolition. The geotechnical or coastal engineer shall be involved in planning and oversight of all demolition activities, particularly those occurring near the bluff. The engineer will advise on safe demolition practices, ensuring that work does not compromise the stability of the bluff or lead to increased erosion. They will also review any foundation or basement removal strategies to minimize the potential impact on the surrounding landscape.

C. Bluff Stability Monitoring During Demolition: During the demolition process, the Contractor shall have a designated erosion control supervisor on-site, working under the guidance of the geotechnical or coastal engineer.

2. 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 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Employee http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surety_bond http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insurance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank http://www.nps.gov/dscw/publicforms.htm form, provided that it contains the same information and level of detail as the Government provided form.

3. Requests for extensions of contract time as a result of this change must be justified with a Time Impact Analysis (TIA). Refer to Section 01 32 16 “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.

4. All supporting documentation used to justify the proposed modification will be made available to the CO upon request.

C. Materials:

1. 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.

2. No markup shall be applied to any material provided by the NPS.

D. Equipment:

1. Equipment used for the project must be appropriately sized for the work being performed.

3. Regardless of ownership, the rates to be used in determining equipment rental costs shall be the lowest cost from one of the following sources:

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

b. Construction Blue Book

c. Local equipment rental rates, documented by actual invoice charges, or itemized vendor quotes.

4. The estimated equipment rates shall include the operating costs of all fuel, oil, lubrication, supplies, small tools, necessary attachments, ground engaging components, tires and 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.

6. Standby unit rates used shall 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.

E. Establishment and Application of Overhead and Profit Percentages:

1. 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.

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

Overhead… ................... 10% 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, then 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.

4. 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.

5. At no time can profit be calculated on overhead or itself, it must be calculated on direct costs of work only.
