11.1 Terms Explained:

11.1.1 Line Item Costs: The cost of a line item shall be the item’s total bare cost based on a national average as defined by RS Means Pricing Book, a non pre-priced item at bare cost, or a service/permit/fee/certification as defined by the lowest price from competitive bids. Line items may not be altered or modified.

- 15 -

11.1.2 RS Means Pricing Book (MPB): Includes all items of work from a current year RS Means Facilities Cost Data Guide, RS Means Assemblies and RS Means Master Composite Cost Data. The line items are priced primarily using contractor furnished RS Means electronic data bases. The MPB costs is defined as the bare costs unit pricing for the purpose of this contract. The RS Means labor costs are included as line items of work. They are non-negotiable.

11.1.3 Non Pre-Priced Items (NPP): Defined as items of work not included in the MPB but required for execution of a TO and within the scope and general intent of the contract. These items must be submitted, approved and or negotiated if necessary. If no comparable line item exists in RS Means for unique equipment and materials then a NPP item may be developed.

11.1.4 Specialized Services: Defined as services such as Architecture and Engineering (AE) designs, stamped drawings, certifications, permits and specialized fees either not included in RS Means or not allowed as an RS Means line item but within the general scope of work for the TO.

11.1.5 Local Area Adjustment Factor: The RS Means total weighted average city cost index for the city of Dayton Ohio, or the nearest city.

11.1.6 Coefficient: Respective coefficients are multiplied against the standard unit prices at bare cost in the MPB, non pre-priced items and specialized services to calculate task order prices. A coefficient is defined as a numerical factor that compensates the Contractor for any and all costs (generally indirect costs) and profit not included in the MPB bare costs unit pricing or not allowed (such as Division 1 – General Requirements). The coefficients shall include but are not limited to additional costs for overhead, profit, labor burden for the prime Contractor and subcontractors, bond premiums, insurance, taxes, any adjustment factors for average TO size, proposal preparation costs for withdrawn TOs, costs associated with procurement of required tools, equipment, software, specifications, computers and compliance with environmental laws. Coefficients should also include cost for design, daily cleanup, protection or incidental moving of Government property including furniture, portable toilets, and administrative and technical support. No allowance shall be considered later for these costs. There shall be four separate coefficients to serve as adjustments to compensate the contractor:

Coefficients A, B, C & D.

11.1.6.1 Coefficient A: The bare costs unit prices as established by the MPB are multiplied against Coefficient A to arrive at the actual price for a unit of work. Labor line items from Division 01 of the RS Means Pricing book shall not be used when preparing an estimate. The costs of items associated with DIV 01 labor shall be included in the contractor’s

- 16 -adjustment factor for normal working hours prevailing wage, unless otherwise stated in Sections 11.1.6.3 – 11.1.6.6. Coefficient A shall be for work performed during standard working hours; defined as 40 hours per week between the hours of 0700 – 1700 from Monday through Friday with the exception of Federal Holidays (see Section 20.1).

11.1.6.2 Coefficient B: The bare costs unit prices as established by the MPB are multiplied against Coefficient B to arrive at the actual price for a unit of work. Labor line items from Division 01 of the RS Means Pricing book shall not be used when preparing an estimate. The costs of items associated with DIV 01 labor shall be included in the contractor’s adjustment factor for normal working hours prevailing wage, unless otherwise stated in Sections 11.1.6.3 – 11.1.6.6. Coefficient B shall be for work performed during non-standard working hours; defined as work performed anytime outside the hours of 0700 – 1700 from Monday through Friday, and work during the week surpassing 40 hours. This also includes weekends and Federal Holidays (see Section 20.1). It is anticipated that 5 percent of projects over the course of the contract shall utilize Coefficient B.

11.1.6.3 Coefficient C: The non pre-priced items such as specialized equipment and material not available in the RS Means but within the general scope of the work for the TO are multiplied against Coefficient C to arrive at the actual price for a unit of work. The Government may adjust the general scope of work to match RS Means line item descriptions which would eliminate the need of the non pre-priced item.

The Contractor shall provide proof of payment of the same when the work is complete. Reference Section 11.4.1.3 for applying to TO estimate.

The maximum range for Coefficient C shall be 1.15.

11.1.6.4 Coefficient D: Specialized services such as architecture and engineer (AE) services, certifications, permits and fees not included in RS Means but within the general scope of work for the TO shall be multiplied by Coefficient D to arrive at the actual price for a unit of work. Proof of cost shall be provided by submitting the associated AE proposal or permit fee schedule with the estimate. The Contractor shall provide proof of payment of the same when work is complete. The maximum range for Coefficient D shall be 1.15.

11.1.6.5 Contingencies such as changes to labor wages and inflation shall be adjusted annually by the annual economic price adjustment to the MPB. Any change in the applicable minimum hourly rates of wages during the contract period shall not affect the unit prices to be paid by the Government for work performed under the contract.

- 17 -

11.1.6.6 The Contractor shall consider the following factors that affect the calculation of the coefficients:

1. The coefficients are fixed for the term of the contract.

2. The MPB prices are for “in-place” quantities. There shall be no allowances added for waste, compaction, storage, shipping, staging, handling, etc.

3. The MPB prices are limited to Bare Cost unit pricing only. Contractor should carefully consider all costs not included in RS Means Bare Costs unit pricing in order to diligently determine numeric factors for Coefficients A & B.

11.2 How To Calculate a Task Order Price:

11.2.1 Total MPB Costs Normal Hours: The sum of all MPB line item costs at normal working hours.

11.2.2 Total MPB Costs After Hours: The sum of all MPB line item costs to be performed after normal duty hours or more than 40 hours in the week.

11.2.3 Total NPP Costs: The sum of all NPP line item costs.

11.2.4 Total AE Service Costs: The sum of all specialized AE permit, certification and fee line item costs.

11.2.5 Government Furnished Material and Equipment: The Government may provide materials and/or equipment for installation. When furnished, the respective RS Means material/equipment shall be deleted from the RS Means line item cost, and the remaining line item cost shall be treated as MPB line item. If an item does not exist in the MPB, the cost for that line item shall be calculated exactly as an NPP item or AE service item.

11.2.6 Project Total Bare Costs: The sum of the total MPB costs. The sum of the total NPP costs. The sum of the total AE services costs.

11.2.7 Localized Total Bare Costs: The MPB total costs multiplied by the local adjustment factor.

11.2.8 Task Order Costs: The total sum of the localized total cost of RS Means line items multiplied by the contractor’s Coefficient A, RS Means line items to be performed after hours multiplied by the contractor’s Coefficient B, the NPP cost multiplied by the contractor’s Coefficient C, and the AE services and certification cost multiplied by the contractor’s Coefficient D.

11.3 Keeping Prices Current:

11.3.1 The RS Means Construction Data Books: The list and price information for all pre-priced items covered in this contract.

- 19 -

11.3.1.1 Upon updated pricing, all projects that were previously estimated, but not yet awarded, shall be updated to the current year costs. If the new RS Means Price Book covers a line item listed as NPP, the line item in the new RS Means price book shall be used and the existing NPP line item shall be discarded.

11.3.1.2 RS Means national average historical cost figures shall be used to calculate the percentage of change from last year. Each year on 01 January, RS Means provides a new construction cost data. (Ex. 2009 RS Means Facilities Book p. 1273 Actual costs: July 2008=180.4, July 2007=169.4, Percent of Change = (180.4/169.4 = +11.0% national average localized to Dayton Ohio)
