3.1. Routine Requirement. Within three (3) calendar days of project notification, unless otherwise directed by the Contracting Officer (CO), the Program Manager (PM), or authorized representative(s) shall attend a Pre-Bid Site Visit to clarify any project requirements, and/or further define the project scope of work. The Contractor’s proposal shall be submitted to the CO in accordance with (IAW) paragraph 3.3.2 within seven (7) calendar days after the Pre-Bid Site Visit for non-complex work and fourteen (14) calendar days after the Pre-Bid Site Visit for complex work as determined by the Government, unless otherwise directed by the CO.

3.2. Emergency Requirement. In the event of an emergency or time sensitive requirement, the contractor PM, or authorized representative(s) response time shall be as soon as directed by the CO. The Contractor’s proposal shall be submitted IAW paragraph 3.3.2, or as directed by the CO, normally within 24 hours.

3.3. Commencement Documents. Contractor design documents shall be developed so that a distinction is made between items that are associated with each classification of work (i.e. Demolition, Minor (new) Construction, Repair, and Additives). Categories of work notes shall be affixed throughout the contract documents to clearly distinguish between works that are Demolition (D), Minor Construction (MC), or Repair (R) and further delineate any items that are Additive Bid Items (reflected as “Option #”) and shall be accounted for and priced separately in the cost proposal. Additive Bid Items shall be priced separately. The concept of the SABER program provides for 35% design level effort. However, some portions of a design may require up to a 65% to 80% design effort depending upon nature/complexity (i.e., mechanical/electrical). A 100% design level effort may be necessary when PE Certification is required and the Contractor will utilize the engineering fee line items to be compensated. In the case of 65% to 80% design or 100% design level of effort; Civil Engineering will identify the requirement in advance and will identify what the Contractor is responsible for designing.
