SECTION SF 30 BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following items are applicable to this modification:

SUMMARY OF CHANGES

1. The purpose of this amendment is to incorporate changes made to Sections H, Section J (replace SOW dated 25 May 2012 with revised SOW dated 15 August 12), and Section L of the RFP.

2. The following items are applicable to this amendment:

A. SECTION H – SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

FROM:

H-3.1 RS MEANS, COEFFICIENT, AND CITY COST INDEX

a. Bare Cost Total in the current year's e4Clicks Project Estimating Software System (E4CLICKS) and the current year's R.S. Means Facilities Construction Cost Data book Published by R.S. Means, Inc. Bare Costs as referred to in the R.S. Means Facilities Construction Cost Data Book is the installed price.

b. In order to be considered for award, the offeror must submit a coefficient for Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) 0001 and the completion of pricing for unfunded proposal preparation costs based upon projects with a Statement of Work. The coefficient is the price multiplier that the contractor offers. The Government uses this multiplier to apply to the total costs to arrive at the price for an individual Delivery Order. The Government established unit prices listed in the E4CLICKS (material, equipment, and labor without any markups for material, equipment, labor, subcontractor, sales tax, overhead, or profit), multiplied by the average City Cost Index (CCI) percentage for San Antonio, Texas, multiplied times the coefficient to arrive at the actual price for the delivery order. The coefficient shall be represented as net, a decrease from or an increase to the prices listed in the E4CLICKS. An offer of net would be represented as 1.00. An example of a decrease from the prices in the E4CLICKS would be 0.98. An example of an increase above the prices in the E4CLICKS would be 1.06.

c. The offeror's price percentage factor (coefficient) shall contain all costs other than the pre-priced unit prices contained in the current version of RS Mean Cost Data and non-pre-priced items. The coefficient is a numerical factor that represents the contractor's costs. The coefficient must be sufficient to cover all cost including but not limited to items the following items: general & administrative expenses; home office expense and field overhead; as-built drawings; insurance; material delivery expenses; material submittals; computer and software expense; quality contract management and supervision; safety; site security; overhead; profit; project indirect and direct costs; bond premiums; licenses; certifications; basic contract mobilization and basic contract demobilization expense; traffic cones and barricades; gross receipts tax; general conditions (superintendent salaries); all labor burden costs (prime and subcontractor); material waste; consultant fees; subcontractor costs to include but not limited to overhead and profit; on and off site storage; as well as costs associated with compliance of environmental, labor, and tax laws, or these specifications. The offeror's coefficient should consider the above expenses because allowance will NOT be made after contract award for any purpose. The coefficient will not be adjusted for the life of the contract.

(1) Mobilization for rental equipment for each delivery order will only be whatever is allowed and addressed via RS Means Cost Estimating Guide line items for mobilization for the particular equipment to be used.

(2) Any change in the applicable minimum hourly rate of wages (Davis-Bacon Wage Determinations) during the contract period shall not affect the unit price to be paid by the Government for work performed under this contract. (See Section J and FAR Clause 52.222-6)

d. PRICING COEFFICIENTS: The purpose of applying the coefficient to direct pre-priced costs from the E4CLICKS is to compensate the contractor for burden costs and profit for performance. The pricing coefficient is not subject to economic price adjustments and the coefficient shall remain unchanged during the life term of the contract.

e. E4CLICKS Increase/decrease of any cost in the work performed are determined by the applicable current year's e4Clicks Project Estimating Software System and the current year's R.S. Means Master Composite Cost Data book published by R.S. Means, Inc. provided by and required to be used by the contractor.

f. CITY COST INDEX (CCI) QUARTERLY UPDATES: The contractor shall notify the Government of any quarterly changes to the City Cost Index (as a result of quarterly division level updates) and the changed CCI will take effect within 15 calendar days from the date of the notification by RS Means. The purpose of allowing for quarterly updates is to use the most current RS Means pricing information available from which to price out proposals or modifications.

g. Modifications to existing delivery orders: Modifications deleting work will be at the CCI in effect at the time of award of the delivery order or at the CCI in effect when the affected work was added (if added via modification after award of the respective delivery order). Modifications adding work shall be at the CCI in effect at the time of adding the additional work to the delivery order.
