NOTICE TO ALL

OFFERORS”

For solicitation purposes and during the source selection process, e4clicks/RSMeans based CSI Masterformat cost estimate will be used as specified in Section L-6.3, Coefficient Rate Proposal; however due to the anticipated sunsetting of e4clicks, the Government will transition to utilizing the upgraded eGordian software following contract award. Therefore, the successful offeror will be required to provide eGordian and the affiliated Construction Task Catalog (CTC) to submit cost estimates/proposals for the remainder of the SABER Contract period of performance.

The coefficient shall represent “net" (equal to 1.0) or a percentage "decrease from" (e.g., .82) or an “increase from" (e.g., 1.12) to the unit prices listed in the appropriate RSMeans Facility Construction Cost Data Unit Price Book.

proposed coefficient is not subject to economic price adjustments and will remain unchanged for the entire 4-year ordering period. To incorporate fair inflation rate adjustment to the unchanging coefficient rate, the CTC will be republished annually during the contract to be applied to the proposed construction price to finalize all SABER task order price.

Section L-6.3.3 To ensure efficient evaluation process, the Government will rank all proposals from the lowest to the highest priced offerors, as indicated in Section M-1.3.2, to establish the proposal evaluation order. To accomplish this, the initial TEP (for the ranking purpose only) will be calculated by multiplying the offeror’s coefficient rate proposed in Section B against the CSI format total construction cost submitted under Technical Factor (Volume 1), Subfactor 1(c). Then the subtotal will be multiplied by the CCI to reflect the current local inflation rate into the total price. Based on this process described, it is imperative that each offeror to provide the accurate/reasonable construction cost estimate under the Technical volume and propose a reasonable/realistic coefficient rate in Section B of the SF 1442 in their initial proposal.
