A. Project Location: Acadia National Park, Schoodic Point, Acadia Dr., Winter Harbor, ME

B. The Work consists of the following:

1. The Work includes demolition of the wastewater treatment plant Schoodic Education and

Research Center to eliminate the overboard discharge system and to replace with a new subsurface treatment system appropriately sized for current and future demands. New subsurface treatment system consists of modifications to the sewer collection system, new holding tanks, new effluent pump station and force main, new disposal fields.

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

1.3 WORK PHASES

A. The Work shall be conducted in phases in order to ensure the existing system remains operational until the new system is fully operational. The following are the broad phases of the project, but do not intend to include all steps required to ensure the project is effectively executed. Phases may need to overlap or be concurrent to ensure appropriate timing. Phases will need to take into account any lead times, seasonal or regulatory limitations, or limitations based on contractor/skilled trade availability. Contractor will need to consult with Contracting Officer to ensure phasing meets the needs of the project.

1. Phase 1: Begin construction of subsurface wastewater system.

2. Phase 2: Begin demolition of only the structures required to begin construction of new system (including burning and disposal of reed bed according to MDEP regulations) and

ACAD - 187203 01 11 00 - 2

ensure continuing proper operation of existing wastewater treatment. Perform any additional necessary demolition to begin installation of septic tanks and pump station.

3. Phase 3: Build new portion of collection system without interrupting existing system.

4. Phase 4: Begin installation of septic tanks, pump station, gravity piping and sewer force main. This includes any necessary demolition and/or preparation for abandoning and/or removing piping that will not be part of the new system network.

5. Phase 5: Upon commissioning of new subsurface wastewater system, intercept existing flows and divert to new system, disconnect and decommission old wastewater system. This includes cutting, capping and abandoning or removing obsolete gravity and force main lines.

6. Phase 5: Entirely abandon obsolete wastewater treatment system, including overboard discharge abandonment, burning and disposal of reed bed and any additional demolition that need to be completed.

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.

own form, provided that it contains the same information and level of detail as the Gov’t 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 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.

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

5. 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.

6. All pricing and production rates within the estimate must be based on fair and reasonable pricing and cannot include built-in contingency.

B. Labor:

1. 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.

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

ACAD - 187203 01 26 01 - 5

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 & 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.

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.

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. 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…………………...5.6%

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.

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.
