1.2 DESIGN-BUILD CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS (MAR 2019)

(a) Design-Build Contract Order of Precedence. The contract includes the standard contract clauses and schedules current at the time of contract award. It entails (1) the Solicitation in its entirety, including all drawings, cuts, and illustrations, and any amendments, and (2) the successful offeror’s accepted proposal. The contract constitutes and defines the entire agreement between the Contractor and the Government. No documentation shall be omitted which in any way bears upon the terms of that agreement.

(1) In the event of conflict or inconsistency between any portion of this contract, precedence shall be given in the following order:

i.Betterments: Any portions of the accepted proposal which both conform to and exceed the requirements of the Solicitation.

ii.The requirements of the Solicitation. (See also FAR 52.236-21, Specifications and Drawings for Construction) iii.All other elements of the accepted proposal.

iv.Any design products including, but not limited to, plans, specifications, engineering studies and analyses, shop drawings, equipment installation drawings, etc. These are "deliverables" under the contract and are not part of the contract itself. Design products must conform to all provisions of the contract, in the order of precedence herein.

(b) Personnel, subcontractors, and outside associates or consultants. In connection with this contract, any in-house personnel, subcontractors, and outside associates or consultants will be limited to individuals or firms that were specifically identified in the Contractor's accepted proposal. The Contractor shall obtain the Contracting Officer's written consent before making any substitution for these designated

SECTION 01 30 00.24 Page 3 in-house personnel, subcontractors, associates, or consultants. If the Contractor proposes a substitution, it shall submit the same type of information that was submitted in the accepted proposal to the Contracting Officer for evaluation and approval. The level of qualifications and experience submitted in the accepted proposal or that required by the Solicitation, whichever is greater, is the minimum standard for any substitution.

(c) Responsibility of the Contractor for Design. The Contractor shall be responsible for the professional quality, technical accuracy, and the coordination of all designs, drawings, specifications, and other non-construction services furnished by the Contractor under this contract.

The Contractor shall, without additional compensation, correct or revise any errors or deficiency in its designs, drawings, specifications, and other non-construction services and perform any necessary rework or modifications, including any damage to real or personal property, resulting from the design error or omission.

(1) The standard of care for all design services performed under this agreement shall be the care and skill ordinarily used by members of the architectural or engineering professions practicing under similar conditions at the same time and locality. Notwithstanding the above, in the event that the contract specifies that portions of the Work be performed in accordance with a performance standard, the design services shall be performed so as to achieve such standards.

(2) Neither the Government's review, approval or acceptance of, nor payment for, the services required under this contract, shall be construed to operate as a waiver of any rights under this contract or of any cause of action arising out of the performance of this contract. The Contractor shall be and remain liable to the Government in accordance with applicable law for all damages to the Government caused by the Contractor's negligent performance of any of these services furnished under this contract.

(3) The rights and remedies of the Government provided for under this contract are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law.

(4) If the Contractor is comprised of more than one legal entity, each entity shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder.

(d) Contractor's Role during the Design Process. The Contractor's construction management key personnel shall be actively involved during the design process to effectively integrate the design and construction requirements of this contract. In addition to the typical required construction activities, the Contractor's involvement includes, but is not limited to actions such as: integrating the design schedule into the Master Schedule to maximize the effectiveness of fast-tracking design and construction (within the limits allowed in the contract), ensuring constructability and economy of the design, integrating the shop drawing and installation drawing process into the design, executing the material and equipment acquisition programs to meet critical schedules, effectively interfacing the design and construction quality control (QC) management programs with the design QC program, and maintaining and providing the design team with accurate, up-to-date redline and as-built documentation for eventual submission as Record Drawings.. The Contractor shall require and manage the active involvement of key trade subcontractors in the above activities.

SECTION 01 30 00.24 Page 4

(e) Deviating from the Accepted Design. The Contractor must obtain the approval of the Designer of Record and the Government's concurrence, in the form of supplemental agreement to the contract, for any Contractor-proposed revision to the professionally stamped-and-sealed and Government-reviewed final design that has been released for Construction before proceeding with the revision. The Government reserves the right to disapprove such a revision.

(1) The Government reserves the right to non-concur with any revision to the final design that has been released for construction, including those which may impact furniture, furnishings, equipment selections or operations decisions that were made, based on the reviewed design.

(2) Any Contractor-proposed revision to the design which deviates from the contract requirements (i.e., the Request for Proposal (RFP) and the accepted proposal), will require a bilateral modification (e.g. supplemental agreement) to the contract before any work commences.

(3) Unless the Government initiates a change to the contract requirements, or the Government determines that the Government furnished design criteria are incorrect and must be revised, any Contractor initiated proposed change to the contract requirements, which results in additional cost, shall strictly be at the Contractor's expense.

(4) The Contractor shall track all approved revisions to the reviewed and accepted design and shall incorporate them into the as-built design documentation, in accordance with agreed procedures. The Designer of Record shall document its professional concurrence on the as-builts for any revisions in the stamped and sealed drawings and specifications.

(f) Value Engineering after Award. In reference to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.248-3, Value Engineering - Construction, the Government may refuse to entertain a "Value Engineering Change Proposal" (VECP) for those "performance oriented" aspects of the Solicitation documents which were addressed in the Contractor's accepted contract proposal and which were evaluated in competition with other offerors for award of this contract.

(1) The Government may consider a VECP for those "prescriptive" aspects of the Solicitation documents, not addressed in the Contractor's accepted contract proposal or addressed but evaluated only for minimum conformance with the Solicitation requirements.

(2) For purposes of this clause, the term "performance oriented" refers to those aspects of the design criteria or other contract requirements, which allow the offeror or Contractor certain latitude, choice of and flexibility to propose in its accepted proposal a choice of design, technical approach, design solution, construction approach or other approach to fulfill the contract requirements. Such requirements generally tend to be expressed in terms of functions to be performed, performance required or essential physical characteristics, without dictating a specific process or specific design solution for achieving the desired result.

(3) In contrast, for purposes of this clause, the term "prescriptive" refers to those aspects of the design criteria or other

SECTION 01 30 00.24 Page 5

Solicitation requirements wherein the Government expressed the design solution or other requirements in terms of specific material, approaches, systems, and/or processes to be used. Prescriptive aspects typically allow the offerors little or no freedom in the choice of design approach, materials, fabrication techniques, methods of installation, or any other approach to fulfill the contract requirements.

(g) Warranty of Design. The Contractor warrants that the design shall be performed in accordance with the contract requirements. Design and design related construction not conforming to the Contract requirements shall be corrected at no additional cost to the Government.

The standard of care for design is defined in paragraph c of this clause, Responsibility of the Contractor for Design.

(1) The period of this warranty shall commence upon final completion and the Government's acceptance of the work, or in the case of the Government's beneficial occupancy of all or part of the work for its convenience, prior to final completion and acceptance, at the time of such occupancy.

(2) This design warranty shall be effective from the above event through the Statute of Limitations and Statute of Repose or host nation law, as applicable to the place of construction performance.

(3) The rights and remedies of the Government provided for under this clause are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided in this contract or by law.

(h) Government Re-Use of Design. In conjunction with the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 252.227-7022, Government Rights (Unlimited), the Government will not ask for additional originals or copies of the design works after the Contractor provides all required design documentation and record drawing documentation under the instant contract. Further, if the Government uses the design for other projects without additional compensation to the Contractor for re-use, the Government releases the Contractor from liability in the design on the other projects, due to defects in the design that are not the result of fraud, gross mistake as amounts to fraud, gross negligence or intentional misrepresentation.

(End of clause)

The value column when totaled indicates the fair and reasonable profit percentage under the circumstances of the particular procurement.

(1) Degree of Risk. Where the work involves no risk or the degree of risk is very small, the weighting should be .03; as the degree of risk increases, the weighting should be increased up to a maximum of .12.

Lump sum items will have, generally, a higher weighted value than the unit price items for which quantities are provided. Other things to consider:

the portion of the work to be done by subcontractors, nature of work, where work is to be performed, reasonableness of negotiated costs, amount of labor included in costs, and whether the negotiation is before or after performance of work.

(2) Relative Difficulty of Work. If the work is most difficult and complex, the weighting should be .12 and should be proportionately reduced to .03 on the simplest of jobs. This factor is tied in to some extent with the degree of risk. Some things to consider: the nature of the work, by whom it is to be done, where, and what is the time schedule.

(3) Size of Job. All work not in excess of $100,000 shall be weighted at .12. Work estimated between $100,000 and $5,000,000 shall be proportionately weighted from .12 to .05.

(4) Periods of Performance. Jobs in excess of 24 months are to be weighted at .12. Jobs of lesser duration are to be proportionately weighted to a minimum of .03 for jobs not to exceed 30 days. No weight

SECTION 01 30 00.24 Page 14 where additional time not required.

(5) Contractor's Investment. To be weighted from .03 to .12 on the basis of below average, average, and above average. Things to consider: amount of subcontracting, mobilization payment item, Government furnished property, equipment and facilities, and expediting assistance.

(6) Assistance by Government. To be weighted from .12 to .03 on the basis of average to above average. Things to consider: use of Government-owned property, equipment and facilities, and expediting assistance.

(7) Subcontracting. To be weighted inversely proportional to the amount of subcontracting. Where 80 percent or more of the work is to be subcontracted, the weighting is to be .03 and such weighting proportionately increased to .12 where all the work is performed by the Contractor's own forces.

1.27 LABOR CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO TEMPORARY FACILITIES

It is the position of the Department of Defense that the Davis-Bacon Act, 40 U.S.C. 276a is applicable to temporary facilities such as job headquarters, tool yards, batch plants, borrow pits, sandpits, rock quarries, and similar operations, provided they are dedicated exclusively, or nearly so, to performance of the contract or project, and provided they are adjacent or virtually adjacent to the site of the work and are established after receipt of the proposal or bid. Clause "Payrolls and Basic Records" of the GENERAL CONDITIONS (CONTRACT CLAUSES) is applicable to such operations.

1.28 DRAWING SCALES

All scales shown on the RFP project drawings are based on a standard drawing size of 22" x 34". If any other size drawings are furnished or plotted, adjust the scales accordingly. Advise sub-contractors of the above.

1.31 COST AND TIME IMPACT (CTI) LOG

a. Any changes with an absolute value under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) at the time of initiation of the change and within the Administrative Contracting Officer's (ACO) authority, may be executed using the Cost and Time Impact Log (CTI Log) processes as described herein. The purpose of the CTI Log is to provide efficient and effective change management process for the mutual benefit of the Government and the Contractor while partnering to execute this contract.

b. The CTI Log process is a collaborative, proactive, and efficient change management process. In general, the CTI Log process is as described below.

1. The CTI Log is designated for use on work items determined to be changes where individual costs are anticipated to be less than the SAT. The process starts with a discussion between USACE on-site Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) or ACO and the prime contractor's authorized field representative. If it appears the issue cannot be resolved through a no-cost clarification of the contract requirements, the USACE COR will request the contractor to submit a confirming Request for Information (RFI).

Where the solution to the problem is not apparent and not initially resolvable at the field level, the Contractor may submit to USACE a “non-confirming” RFI and USACE shall provide technical direction. If the absolute value of the change is anticipated to exceed the SAT, the contractor will be advised that a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the change will be forthcoming and that the CTI Log process shall not be utilized.

2. The contractor submits the confirming RFI identifying the potential Cost and/or Time impact issue as previously discussed between the USACE COR and the contractor's field representative, along with a proposed solution. In addition to the technical details, the RFI shall contain, to the maximum extent practicable, a proposal for the change from the contractor with an acceptable breakdown of all costs (representing both the prime and each of the applicable subcontractors' costs) to include labor, equipment and material. Time impacts, if applicable, must include a Time Impact Analysis (TIA) of work activities. The prime and subcontractor(s) will provide their markups for each of the individual changes as they arise, to include profit development in accordance with (IAW) the alternate Weighted Profit Guidelines approach per UAI 5115.404-73. If mutually agreed upon by both the Government and Contractor, the Contractor may submit the confirming RFI without the detailed cost proposal and/or the Time Impact Analysis, but shall contain a ROM of cost impacts and time impacts. If it is mutually agreed that the Contractor’s cost proposal and TIA may not be included in the confirming RFI, the Contractor shall submit both the proposal and TIA as soon as practicable or by the date specified in the Government’s response to the RFI, whichever is sooner.

SECTION 01 30 00.24 Page 16

3. If the proposal and TIA are included in the RFI from the Contractor, the Government shall evaluate the Contractor’s technical recommendation in the RFI, the Contractor’s proposal, and the TIA. When the technical solution is determined and any cost and/or time impacts are discussed, negotiated (if necessary), and determined to be fair and reasonable, the Government ACO will return the RFI with the technical solution and note that the formal price and time agreement will be captured on the CTI Log.

Under no circumstances will the RFI response act as a Notice to Proceed (NTP) to incur increased costs or time impacts. The official NTP for the applicable change will be granted upon signing of the CTI Log. If the RFI is submitted and signed by the Government without cost and time impacts known, the Government shall return the RFI with the technical direction and request the proposal and TIA by an established suspense date. In either instance, the CTI Log will note the agreed upon price for the change (if any), time extension (if any), and will establish the NTP for the technical direction captured in the RFI.

4. After arriving at a bilateral agreement on price and time impacts associated with the change, the ACO and the contractor’s representative will enter the RFI number and the agreed upon "reasonable price" on the contract CTI Log. At this time, the ACO will electronically sign the applicable log entries, authorizing the contractor to proceed with the scope described by the RFI and at the reasonable price agreed upon. The contractor's authorized representative must also acknowledge the cost and time impact by signing the CTI Log item, prior to proceeding with the work. The official NTP will occur when both the Government and Contractor have both signed the CTI Log.

5. When the aggregate absolute value of changes approaches the appointed ACO's warrant threshold, the individual CTI Log entries (and associated RFls) shall be captured in a single modification document (SF 30). The "SCOPE" paragraph of the modification will contain a summary list of the incorporated CTI Log items. These aggregate modifications will be processed at least once every month, at a different interval as mutually agreed upon, or when expedited processes are needed to pay for critical features of work such that subcontractors have the ability to bill for work completed in the field. The ACO will sign the SF 30 and provide to the contractor for its signature and return. After the SF30 is executed, the Contractor can bill for the earnings included in the associated CTI Log items listed on the SF30.

6. The CTI Log process may be utilized during the performance of this contract unless termination or suspension of this change management process is desired by either party.
