B-1. NOTES REGARDING MAXIMUM COEFFICIENTS:

In order to be considered for award, each offeror must submit maximum coefficients for sub CLINS 0001AA and 0001AB as identified above. The maximum coefficient is the price multiplier that the contractor offers. The Government uses this multiplier to determine the price of work for each task on individual task orders. The Government established unit prices listed in the UPB (material, equipment, and labor without any markups for material, equipment, labor, subcontractor, overhead, or profit), are multiplied times the maximum coefficient to arrive at the actual price for a unit of work. An example of a decrease from the prices in the UPB would be “0.98.” An example of an increase above the prices in the UPB would be “1.06.”

NOTE: Maximum Coefficients are only a not-to-exceed (NTE) value and the Contractor may propose lower coefficients when competing for individual task orders.

The offeror’s price percentage factor (maximum coefficient) must be sufficient to cover all costs including (but not limited to) all general & administrative expenses; computer expense; overhead; profit; project direct costs; licenses; certifications; protection or moving of Government property; mobilization and demobilization expense; engineering/technical design support services; daily and final cleanup; gross receipts tax; general conditions (superintendent salaries, builder’s risk insurance); site and home office overhead; wage determination differential; special clothing or equipment for workers; equipment rental (offeror is expected to hire subcontractors which have their own equipment common to the trade); all insurance for all employees; portable toilets; traffic barricades; flag persons; safety equipment; additional supervision; material waste; swell and compaction; paperwork associated with the contract; consultant fees; on and off site storage separated according to reusable and unusable materials; all costs for breakage-, cutting-, gritting loss; the provisioning of machines; scaffolding with a working platform up to 2m height; freight and other transportation costs to the location of use within the real property; unloading and costs of haulage materials; dumping fees, and all contingencies, as well as costs associated with compliance of environmental, labor, and tax laws and all other contract requirements, as no allowance will be made after contract award.

All task orders placed under this contract will be competed among the multiple IDIQ awardees, regardless of value. Based on the requirements of the task order and the initial site visit, the Contractor is responsible to determine the required trades to be performed under the task order. The proposed maximum coefficients in the contract will be applied to the corresponding trades to determine the price. The Contractor shall use the UPB as described in H-5 above and consider the additional line item list in Attachment #5.

PROCEDURES:

(a) As the need exists for performance under the terms of this contract, the CO or his/her representative will notify the Contractor of an existing requirement. The following are procedures for ordering from the contract CLINS (at the task order level).

(1) Upon receipt of the task order solicitation, the Contractor shall respond to the needs of the Government within 2 working days (or a shorter time period during emergency requirements) by visiting the proposed work site in the company of the CO (or authorized representative), US Air Force Engineers and a representative of the using agency (if necessary) to conduct a scope validation site visit and conference during which the following will be discussed (but not limited to):

-Site investigation

-Methods and alternatives for accomplishing work

-Definition and refinement of requirements

-Statement of need

-Requirements for plans, sketches, shop/design drawings, submittals, etc

-Preliminary quantities (NOTE: The Contractor establishes his own detailed quantity estimates for use in developing his proposal.)

(2) Upon establishment of the scope of the individual requirement, the Contractor shall then prepare his technical and cost proposal for submission to the CO (in hard copy and electronic format).

(3) The technical proposal includes (but not limited to) identifying tasks, refining quantities, preparing working drawings detailed engineering plans/drawings (as the requirement exists), developing performance times, and including a detailed statement of proposed work.

(4) The cost proposal shall include UPB line item numbers in numerical order, quantities, and unit cost for each pre-priced work item. The Lump-Sum Ordering Procedure (LSOP) may be used if a better price can be obtained than the UPB. If used, LSOP will clearly identify the scope of that portion of work to be executed by the LSOP method. In some cases, a separation of UPB line items into separate groups will be required. (i.e. New Work, Repair, different funding sources).

(5) Measurements shall be in accordance with units specified in the UPB.

(6) From the date of the site visit, the time allowed for submittal of the Contractor's technical and cost proposal for individual requirements will be as follows, unless otherwise directed by the CO. Classification of projects as Routine, Urgent or Emergency will be determined by the Government.

Routine: UPB proposals shall be delivered to the CO no later than ten workdays after the site visit. Projects will be classified as “routine” approximately 75% of the time.

Urgent: UPB proposals shall be submitted within three workdays after the site visit unless mission dictates a shorter time period. Projects will be classified as “urgent” approximately 18% of the time.

Emergency: UPB proposals shall be submitted within 8 hours after the site visit. Projects will be classified as “Emergency” approximately 7% of the time.

(7) Upon receipt of the Contractor's technical and cost proposal, the Government will review the technical proposal for completeness and reasonableness. The Government will return the technical proposals with comments as required.

(8) If the CO directs a work schedule that is during non-standard hours, then the non-standard working hours coefficient indicated on the Bid Schedule shall be applied for those specific items of work that will be performed during non-standard hours. The standard coefficient (multiplier) price for the remaining items of work to be installed will be applied for standard working hours.

(c) If a project is cancelled prior to acceptance of technical proposals, the Government reserves the right to cancel the requirement without any reimbursement.

H-8. LUMP-SUM ORDERING PROCEDURE (LSOP) ITEMS:

Pricing for each task order will be IAW the Unit Price Book unless more favorable pricing is offered via the LSOP. CLIN 0002 may be used for special items that are not covered by UPB, but are generally within the general intent of the contract. Award will be made to the Contractor providing an acceptable proposal and the best overall price (includes UPB and LSOP).

Support Documents Required for LSOP: The Contractor is required to submit a full LSOP package to include detailed statement of work. The SOW shall address all the items shown in the Standardized Technical Proposal (STP) format. Items to be included (but not limited to) will be construction schedule, phasing plan, subcontracting list, etc.

H-9. TASK ORDER INFORMATION:

(a) Task orders will be issued for CLINS 0001AA, 0001AB, and 0002 by the CO using a Standard Form 1155. Each task order will include the following information:

· Date of the task order.

· Contract number, task order number and project number.

· Scope of work, location (building number) and task order lump sum price, inclusive of UPB and LSOP items.

· Delivery or performance data.

· Accounting and appropriation data.

· Any other pertinent data.

(b) The Contractor's proposal on every task order must be supported by necessary documentation as required, to indicate that adequate engineering and planning to accomplish the requirement have been done so as to minimize any delays in the construction process. Examples of documentation required for submittals that might reasonably be expected include sketches, drawings, calculations, catalog cuts, specifications, architectural renderings, detailed scope of work etc. All such design submittals must be approved by the CO prior to start of any actual construction or demolition work.

H-10. TIME EXTENSIONS (Weather):

In case of unusually severe weather, a time extension may be granted. The listing below defines the monthly-anticipated adverse weather delay days for the contract period:

The above schedule of monthly-anticipated adverse weather will constitute the base line for monthly (or portion thereof) weather time evaluations. Upon acknowledgment of the Notice to Proceed and continuing throughout the contract on a monthly basis, actual adverse weather days will be recorded by the Contractor on a calendar day basis (include weekends and holidays) and compared to the monthly-anticipated adverse weather days above. The Contractor shall prove to the CO all severe weather delays with a full justification (to include official daily weather report print-outs, concrete curing temperature specifications, etc). The CO reserves the right to deny weather delay claims that are not fully justified.

The number of actual adverse weather days shall be calculated chronologically from the first to the last day in each month. Once the total number of actual adverse weather days anticipated above has occurred, the CO will examine any subsequently occurring adverse weather days to determine whether a Contractor is entitled to time extension. These subsequently occurring adverse weather days must prevent work for 50 percent or more of the Contractor's workday and delay work critical to the timely completion of the project. The CO will convert any delays meeting the above requirements to calendar days and issue a modification.

The Contractor's task order progress schedule must reflect the above anticipated adverse weather delays on all weather dependent activities.

H-11. Warranty Service Requirements:

In addition to FAR clause 252.246-7002, the following applies:

(a) The Contractor shall furnish, as a minimum, 1 primary and alternate name and telephone number of his/her management staff, available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, for the life of this contract to respond to warranty situations.

(b) Following notification by the CO (or authorized representative), the Contractor shall respond to a warranty service requirement identified by the CO (or authorized representative), in accordance with the “Warranty Service Priority List” of this program. This list prioritizes warranty work into the following categories:

Emergency -- Perform on site inspection to evaluate situation, determine course of action, initiate work within 2 hours and work continuously to completion.

Urgent -- Perform on site inspection to evaluate situation, determine course of action, initiate work within 24 hours and work continuously to completion.

Routine -- All other work to be initiated within 48 hours and work continuously to completion.

Definitions:

Emergency -- Emergency deemed by 435 CES/CEPM or 52 CES/CEPM such as a life-threatening situation caused by a utility outage deemed hazardous to the safety of personnel.

Urgent -- All utilities, including HVAC, plumbing and electrical. Also, intrusion alarm systems, all roof leaks, kitchen equipment, and fire detection/protection and sprinkler systems.

Routine -- All other areas.

(c) Should parts be required to complete the work and these parts are not immediately available, the Contractor shall have a maximum of 12 hours after arrival at the job site to provide the CO with firm, written proposals for emergency alternatives and temporary repairs for Government participation with the Contractor to provide emergency relief until the required parts are available on site for the Contractor to perform permanent warranty repair. The Contractor’s proposals shall include a firm date and time that the required parts shall be available on site to complete the permanent warranty repair. The CO will evaluate the proposed alternatives and select the alternative considered to be in the best interest of the Government to reduce the impact of the emergency condition. Alternatives considered by the CO will include the alternative for the Contractor to “do nothing” while waiting until the required parts are available to perform permanent warranty repair. Negotiating a proposal, which will require Government participation and the expenditure of Government funds, shall constitute a separate procurement action by the Government.

H-12. NOTES REGARDING WORK HOURS:

Standard Working Hours. The Contractor shall perform tasks during the standard working period of 0600 to 1800, Monday through Friday, excluding German Holidays. Standard work hours also apply to work on an American Holiday when the work is pre-approved by the Contracting Officer. The Government estimates that work will be performed during standard hours 90% of the time. This figure is only an estimate. The contractor is not entitled to an equitable adjustment if actual work performed reflects a different value.

Non-Standard Working Hours. Non-standard working hours are defined as the period from 1800 to 0600, Monday through Friday, as well as weekends and German Holidays. The Government estimates that work will be performed during non-standard hours 10% of the time. This figure is only an estimate. The contractor is not entitled to an equitable adjustment if actual work performed reflects a different value.

Items of work to be accomplished during non-standard hours shall be clearly identified in contractor technical/cost proposals, including justification for the request. The Contractor may elect to work during non-standard hours (1800 to 0600); however, a request must be: a) submitted in writing to the 435 CEG or 52 CES Chief of Engineering at least 48 hours in advance, and b) approved by the Contracting Officer if non-standard pricing coefficients are to be applied. Hours worked without prior notification and the approval of the Contracting Officer will be calculated at the pricing coefficients applied for standard hours. The only exception is for task orders subject to an accelerated construction schedule. Accelerated task orders will have the non-standard working hour coefficient applied to the associated task order line items.
