The project also consists of associated site work, erosion control measures and installing the wall drainage system per the site plans and specifications. In addition to the Mint Springs work, this project consists of constructing approximately 272 linear feet of soldier beam and lagging retaining wall with an earthen buttress for slope stabilization to repair a landslide in the

Vicksburg National Military Park and restore a section of Given Hill Road.

C. Project will be constructed under a single prime contract.

1.3 WORK UNDER OTHER CONTRACTS

A. General: Cooperate with separate contractors so work on those contracts may be carried out smoothly, without interfering with or delaying work under this Contract. Coordinate Work of this

Contract with work performed under separate contracts.

1.4 CONTRACTOR USE OF SITE

A. General: Contractor shall have full use of the site for construction operations during the construction period. Contractor's use of the site is limited only by the Government's right to

01 11 00 - 2 perform work or to retain other contractors on portions of Project. The work will be performed within the limits of an active landslide, within a National Cemetery, within a National Military

Park. The entire work site is considered a cultural resource. The Contractor shall select and use the smallest equipment that will accomplish, in a practical way, the required compaction while minimizing disturbance to the site.

B. Storage of Materials: Confine storage of materials within limits of work as shown on the plans.

Materials shall be stored at the area adjacent to North Washington Street as shown on the site plans.

C. Parking: Confine parking to within limits of work as shown on the plans.

The marking shall be highly visible from a distance of at least 100 feet and shall be maintained for the duration of the contract.

Fencing should be used to restrict access to active construction areas. If the limits of work marking should fade significantly in color, become damaged or lost as a result of the Contractor's operation or distance of at least 100 feet, and shall be maintained for the duration of the contract.

If the limits of work marking should fade significantly in color, become damaged or lost as a result of the Contractor's operation or as a result of vandalism, or in any other way cease to function as a highly visible marker of the rights-of-way limits, the Contractor shall layout and restore the marking to the original condition. After all work is complete and upon approval of the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall remove all marking. No separate payment will be made for layout, marking and maintaining the work limits or for removing the marking.

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.

Overhead………………10%

Profit………………15%

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.

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

1.2 DEFINITIONS

A. Activity: A discrete part of a project identified for planning, scheduling, monitoring, and controlling the construction project. Activities included in a construction schedule consume time and resources.

2. Predecessor Activity: An activity that precedes another activity in the network.

3. Successor Activity: An activity that follows another activity in the network.

B. Cost Loading: Allocation of the Schedule of Values for 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.

C. Critical Path Method (CPM): 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.
