Fringe Benefits and Labor Burden are not itemized, it is assumed that that they are in-cluded in the hourly rate shown, or contractor is not requesting reimbursement. Contrac-tor may utilize the government provided Contractor Estimate Form, or their 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 Sched-ule”, 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.

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 uti-lized 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 clas-sified 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…………………...9.00%

2. Total aggregate limit of markup (OH&P) for contractor and subcontractors on modifica-tion work shall not exceed 25%. The NPS will not be responsible for allocation of per-centages between contractor and subcontractors at any tier.

BADL - 226055 01 26 01 - 6

3. If contractors form a partnership, than the partnership may only receive home office over-head 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.

SECTION 01 32 16 – CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

A. This Section consists of Construction Schedule requirements including but not limited to the following:

1. Schedule of Values

2. Construction Schedule Requirements.

3. Construction Schedule Updates.

4. Time Impact Analysis.

B. Purpose: The purpose of the Construction Schedule is to ensure adequate planning, coordina-tion, scheduling, and reporting during execution of the work by the Contractor. The Construc-tion Schedule will assist the Contractor and Contracting Officer in monitoring the progress of the work, evaluating proposed changes, and processing the Contractor's monthly progress pay-ment.

1.2 DEFINITIONS

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

1. Critical activities are activities on the critical path. They must start and finish on the planned early start and finish times.

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: The allocation of the Schedule of Values for the completion of an activity as scheduled. The sum of costs for all activities must equal the total Contract Sum, unless other-wise approved by the Contracting Officer.

C. CPM: Critical path method, which is a method of planning and scheduling a construction pro-ject where activities are arranged based on activity relationships. Network calculations deter-mine when activities can be performed and the critical path of Project.

D. Critical Path: The longest connected chain of interdependent activities through the network schedule that establishes the minimum overall Project duration and contains no float.

E. Float: The measure of leeway in starting and completing an activity.

1. Float: Float is not for the exclusive use or benefit of either the Government or the Con-tractor but is jointly owned.

2. Free float is the amount of time an activity can be delayed without adversely affecting the early start of the successor activity.

BADL - 226055 01 32 16 - 2

3. Total float is the measure of leeway in starting or completing an activity without ad-versely affecting the planned Project completion date.

F. Resource Loading: The allocation of manpower and equipment necessary for the completion of an activity as scheduled.

G. Fragnet: A partial or fragmentary network that breaks down activities into smaller activities for greater detail.

1.3 SUBMITTALS

A. Electronic Copies: All schedules and reports submitted shall be submitted to the COR, provided in the native electronic file format. It is the intent of the Government to limit the number of printed reports to only those reports determined by the project team to be essential.

B. Schedule of Values: After contract award and before the Pre-Construction conference submit a schedule of dollar values based on the Contract Price Schedule.

C. Construction Baseline Schedule: After contract award and before the Pre-Construction confer-ence, submit two paper copies of baseline schedule, large enough to show entire schedule for entire construction period.

D. CPM Reports: Concurrent with CPM schedule, submit three paper copies of each of the follow-ing computer-generated reports. Format for each activity in reports shall contain activity num-ber, activity description, resource loading, original duration, remaining duration, early start date, early finish date, late start date, late finish date, and total float in calendar days.

1. Activity Report: List of all activities sorted by activity number and then early start date, or actual start date if known.

2. Logic Report: List of predecessor and successor tasks for all activities, sorted in ascend-ing order by activity number and then early start date, or actual start date if known.

3. Total Float Report: List of all activities sorted in ascending order of total float.

E. Construction Schedule Updates: On or before the 7th day preceding the progress payment re-quest date, submit estimates of the percent completion of each schedule activity and necessary supporting data. Provide two paper copies.

F. Construction Schedule Revisions and Time Impact Analysis: For each Construction Schedule revision submit twopaper copies of a Time Impact Analysis. Each Time Impact Analysis shall include a Fragmentary Network (Fragnet), incorporated into the currently accepted Construction

Schedule, demonstrating how the Contractor proposes to incorporate a modification, change, delay, or Contractor request.
