1. COEFFICIENTS

1.1. COEFFICIENT: A “coefficient” is the Contractor‟s pricing factor which is multiplied against the standard unit prices in calculating delivery order (DO) prices. It is proposed by offerors as a percentage increase (e.g., 1.10) or decrease (e.g., 0.95) to the current edition of the Unit Priced Guide (UPG). The Unit Price Guide (UPG) will be dynamic with quarterly location factors and annual RSMeans Cost Data updates throughout the life of the contract.

The Contractor‟s Coefficient shall include all cost elements not included in the current UPG (e.g., overhead, profit, minimum design costs, G & A expenses, bond premiums, gross receipts taxes, quality control, clean-up, subcontractor mark-up, labor burden, mobilization/demobilization, permits and licenses, taxes, depreciation, as-built drawings, submittals, site security, etc.). On individual delivery orders, the contractor may offer a coefficient that is less than the coefficient found in Section B of the contract, but cannot offer a coefficient greater than the applicable coefficient in Section B of the contract.

3. PROJECT REQUIREMENT TYPES. The two types of project requirements are “Routine” and “Emergency.”

Either of these types may be issued at anytime during the length of this contract. The Government is responsible for determination of project requirement type.

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.

Page 6of 46

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). See SOW paragraph 13 for “Proposal Procedures”. 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. 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.

3.3.1. Statement of Objectives (SOO): The initial document, with drawings where applicable, provided to the

Contractor by the Government outlining the work to be completed. The SOO may also detail a required or desired performance period.

3.3.2. Contractor’s Statement of Work (SOW) Package. The SOW package includes written descriptions documenting work required by each Government delivery order prepared by the Contractor from the SOO. The

Contractor shall submit for Government review, one hard copy SOW Package, and one electronic (CD-ROM or e-mail) copy of the cost proposal for technical evaluation, presenting the Contractor‟s offer 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. The

Contractor‟s design shall be IAW paragraphs 3.5 and 3.7. The format shall as a minimum include: a cover page; Statement of Work; a detailed cost estimate (in the authorized format); all Government requested project design drawings and thorough applicable design calculations IAW paragraph 3.5 and a Material Submittal

Part 67, Historic Preservation Certifications). They pertain to historic buildings of all materials, construction types, sizes, and occupancy to encompass the exterior and the interior of historic buildings.

The Standards cover: related landscape features; the building‟s site and environment; and attached adjacent or related new construction. The Contractor shall comply with the following standards on all applicable

DOs, or as otherwise specified.

(1) A property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a new use that requires minimal change to the defining characteristics of the building and its site and environment.

(2) The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided.

(3) Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time, place and use.

Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or architectural elements from other buildings, shall not be undertaken.

(4) Most properties change over time. Those changes that have acquired historic significance in their own right shall be retained and preserved.

(5) Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples or craftsmanship that characterizes a property shall be preserved.

(6) Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced whenever possible.

Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence.

(7) New additions, exterior alterations or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment.

(8) New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such a manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired.
