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.

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#ct

DEVA – 249573 01 26 01 - 4

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 must 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. Any work proposed that will require overtime work or premium pay must be itemized separately. All rates must be in accordance with the Davis-Bacon Act as incorporated herein. Labor Burden may include payroll taxes, Social Security, unemployment insurances, workers compensation insurance, FICA, FUTA, and other direct costs resulting from Federal, State or local laws.

2. Itemize labor costs for equipment operators separate from equipment costs.

3. The labor cost for foremen must only be costs for related work required for the modification.

C. Materials:

1. The estimated cost for materials must 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 will 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.

2. Do not include costs for “miscellaneous tools and equipment”, in your proposal for a replacement value of five hundred dollars ($500) or less. Costs shown in excess of five hundred dollars ($500) must be broken out separately.

3. Regardless of ownership, the rates to be used in determining equipment rental costs must 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.

DEVA – 249573 01 26 01 - 5

4. The estimated rental rates must include the cost of all fuel, oil, lubrication, supplies, small tools, necessary attachments, ground engaging components, tires & tracks, routine repairs and maintenance (cost of major overhaul is not included), 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 one half (½) of the equipment costs minus any operating costs will be accepted.

7. If equipment is in standby mode due solely to a documented NPS delay, the established standby rate must 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) must be applied to direct costs only. Profit must not be applied to overhead amounts; and overhead must not be applied to profit. Home office overhead must 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.

The following percentages establish the maximum allowable markups (OH&P) for contractor self-performed work:

Overhead………………10% Profit…………………..10.00%

2. Total aggregate limit of markup (OH&P) for contractor and subcontractors on modification work must not exceed twenty percent (20%). 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.
