The coefficient shall include costs for computer hardware, software, licenses, annual maintenance, R.S. Means Master file and all updates and Licenses for WINEST, R.S. Means, etc.)

See Attachment 8 for project history to aid in the development of these CLIN prices.

B-1 SCHEDULE DESCRIPTION

The contractor shall provide maintenance, repair, design and construction services during standard, non-standard working hours and in secure and non-secure areas both on Malmstrom AFB, surrounding missile complexes and other remote areas under the control of Malmstrom AFB, MT, IAW specifications, as well as the Coefficient Schedule B provided in Section B and RS Means/Unit Price Book/Software.

1. This is a firm fixed price indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract for the award of SABER construction services at Malmstrom AFB, MT.

2. Construction projects will be awarded by individual task orders on an as-needed basis. Projects will be in support of real property maintenance, repair, alteration and new construction. The contractor will receive requests for proposal from the government; reference clause 5352.216-9000 and Specification

Division 01010, General Requirements, for specific instructions and detail for proposal submittal.

3. Coefficients: (See Section 01000 of the specifications) a.

In order to be considered for award, the offeror must submit coefficients for CLINs 0001 through 4001 identified above. The purpose of applying the coefficients to direct pre-priced costs from RS MEANS is to compensate the contractor for all of their indirect costs and profit for performance. In order to be considered for award, the offeror must submit coefficients for all contract line items identified in the Coefficient Schedule B.

b. The offerors’ coefficients (in decimal format, no more than 2 decimal places) should contain applicable profit and all burden costs such as design fees, additional bond premiums, insurance, computer system and support costs, compliance with environmental and safety laws, taxes, protection or moving of government property, labor laws and any other associated costs required to perform the work.

c. Coefficients less than “1.00”, as an example, a coefficient of .97 would result in a decrease of (3%) to the pre-priced items in the proposal. The contractor should thoroughly consider all potential costs and proposal environment, before submitting a coefficient less than 1.00 for any item in the Coefficient Schedule B. Offerors submitting separate coefficients for individual tasks will be considered unacceptable and the offer will be rejected.

d.

The contractor’s coefficient will remain the same for the base year and subsequent option years. Individual line item changes will be considered through annual updates to the RS Means Facilities Construction Cost Data.

4. Standard Working Hours: See specification Section 01010, paragraph 3.0.

5. Non-Standard Working Hours: The term “non-standard work hours” is not to be interpreted as “overtime”. See specification Section 01010, paragraph 3.0.

6. Weapons Storage Area – On Malmstrom AFB – Secure Area: Additional costs for working in secure areas on base (additional labor hours, security delays) shall be included in the coefficient.

7. Missile – Off Malmstrom AFB – Secure Area: Additional costs for work at the missile sites (mobilization, mileage, additional labor hours) shall be included into the coefficient. The distance from Malmstrom AFB to the missile sites range approximately 18 miles to 158 miles.

8. The contractor shall furnish to the Government, when required, the supplies or services specified in the Schedule up to the amounts specified under paragraph 13 of this section. Contractor entries are required for contract line items 0001 through 4001 in the Proposal Schedule, Section B. Contractors shall use the Coefficient Schedule B area to enter their proposal coefficients and extended prices.

9. Concurrent with the exercise of any options, current Davis Bacon Wage Decisions will be incorporated and shall be effective for all task orders issued on the first day of the option and through the duration of the option period, (see FAR 52.222-30). The contractor shall compensate all covered employees at not less than the rates specified on the wage determination(s) specified per task order; however, no adjustment will be made relative to incorporation of any wage determination(s) at the inception of each exercised option year. Initial wage determinations specified in a task order, issued in one year where work carries over to a new year, will not change.

10. Non Pre-Priced Item (NPI): NPI coefficient shall be effective for the entire contract performance period including all option periods. For individual task orders, items of work not covered by the RS Means, but within the scope and general intent of the contract may be added by the Contracting Officer. These items may then be incorporated into and made part of the basic contract at the government’s option. For individual task orders, the items shall be provided at the negotiated price, multiplied by the applicable NPI coefficient listed in the contract schedule. The RS MEANS shall be used to the maximum extent. For each task order proposal, NPI items shall be supported by a minimum of three competitive quotes unless waived by the applicable contracting officer. Non-priced items will be renegotiated each year.

11. Work Areas shall be defined as follows:

(a) Non-Secured Area. The lowest level of security exists in general access areas. These areas are all of Malmstrom AFB outside of the USAF controlled areas.

(a) Secured Area. USAF Controlled access areas are the higher-level security areas. Presence within these controlled access areas is by escort; and the movement of authorized personnel in and out of these areas is limited. Contractor personnel are permitted access to these areas on a need basis only.

12. Clauses and provisions in this document will be numbered in sequence, but will not necessarily appear in consecutive order.

13. Sections K, L and M will be deemed incorporated in the resultant award, by reference.

B-2 CONTRACT MINIMUM/MAXIMUM QUANTITY AND CONTRACT VALUE

The minimum contract value for all orders issued against this contract shall not be less than the minimum quantity and contract value stated in the following table.

A scope validation visit will be scheduled and identified in each requirement for the purpose of answering questions and providing clarification of project content. Only one site visit will be held per task order.

(c) The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award task orders without discussions and offerors should initially submit their most competitive proposals in response to project requirements, however, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. Upon receipt of the contractor’s proposal, the Government will review the proposal for completeness. The Government reserves the right to negotiate non-prepriced items and performance times at the time of award.

(a) All multiple award contractors shall be provided a fair opportunity to be considered for each order in excess of the micro-purchase threshold as defined in FAR 2.101 pursuant to the procedures established in this clause, unless the contracting officer determines that:

(1) The agency’s need for the services or supplies is of such urgency that providing such opportunity to all such contractors would result in unacceptable delays;

(2) Only one such contractor is capable of providing the services or supplies at the level of quality required because the services or supplies ordered are unique or highly specialized;

(3) The task or delivery order should be issued on a sole source basis in the interest of economy or efficiency because it is a logical follow-on to an order already issued under the contract, provided that all awardees were given a fair opportunity pursuant to the procedures in this clause to be considered for the original order; or

(4) It is necessary to place an order to satisfy a minimum guarantee.

(b) Unless the procedures in paragraph (a) are used for awarding individual orders, multiple award contractors will be provided a fair opportunity to be considered for each order using the following procedures:
