1.9 TASK ORDER (TO) PROCEDURES:

1.9.1 Task Order (TO) Request for Proposal (RFP): TO RFP will be issued to each of the contractors by the CO when the project is identified. The TO RFP may not have traditional plans and specifications but will include a TO SOW. The TO SOW will include a list of work elements and/or sketches that define the project and state the Government requirements. All attachments to the TO RFP, if applicable, will be considered to be a part of the project scope of work. A pre-proposal site visit will be held by the Government and the contractors as requested in the TO RFP, to discuss all conditions and details of the work. Contractor clarification/questions shall be submitted in writing IAW TO proposal instructions. On average, Period of Performance of TOs is 60 days or less.

1.9.2 Submission of TO RFP: The contractors shall be requested to submit the TO proposal to the issuing office within the period stated in the TO RFP which may consist of:

a. Technical Proposal. Concept sketches or drawings for proposed methods, performance schedule of design and construction, proposed technical approach/solution, list of required work elements, management approach, key personnel and/or subcontractors, catalogs, and/or other material submittals.

b. Price Proposal. The price proposal for the design and construction cost.

c. Past Performance. Recent and relevant performance information may be required. Definitions of "recent" and “relevant” will be specified in the TO RFP for each project.

The TO proposals shall be prepared at no cost to the Government, and are not reimbursable by the Government.

1.9.3 TO Evaluation Criteria: Individual TOs will be competed equally among all awardees after award of the seed project IAW FAR 16.505(b), Fair Opportunity. Task orders will be firm fixed price and will clearly define the specific work required. SABER Task Orders awards will be made on a best value basis determined by Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA), Tradeoff, or Low Price. Specific instructions to Offerors and evaluation criteria for individual TOs will be specified in the Task Order RFP. The Task Order source selection method will be selected at the discretion of the Government in consideration of the project scope, complexity, magnitude, and urgency.

1.9.4 Competition: All SABER contractors will be solicited for each project. SABER contractors are encouraged to participate in all site visits and shall submit proposals for all funded TOs. Failure to participate responsibly in site visits and proposal submissions may be reflected in Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) ratings. Contractors may request a proposal submittal exemption in writing to the CO within 5 calendar days of issuance of TO RFP with rationale for not participating. However, when the TO RFP contains FAR Clause 52.232-18, Availability of Funds, submission of proposals for those projects is at the sole discretion of the respective contractors and their declination to participate in any or all such solicitations will not be negatively reflected.

1.9.5 Unless the CO applies the exceptions per Federal Acquisition Regulation

(FAR)16.505(b)(2), each TO will be awarded, as a result of competition to the contractor who offers the best value to the Government considering the criteria specified in the TO.

1.9.6 Performance Evaluations: At the conclusion of each TO or other times as determined appropriate by the CO or Government Project Manager, the contractor’s performance evaluation will be made through the CPARS. The evaluation will take into account all aspects of the contractor’s performance. The contractor will be provided an opportunity to review and comment to the government evaluation result through the CPARS. Past performance may be used during TO evaluations, which may have an impact on the award of the TO.

UNIT PRICE BOOK AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

1.1 COST ESTIMATING SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

1.1.1 The Contractor shall purchase, maintain, and use the latest version of e4Clicks Basic or Premier Project Estimator (or Government-approved equivalent) for their own use.

The Contractor shall use e4Clicks software, or Government-approved equivalent, to estimate and submit all of their estimates, both electronically and on paper. The Contractor is responsible for deciding which software version to purchase and the number of copies of the software required to support their contract requirements. The Contractor shall have the most current version of the software and databases at all times and throughout the period of performance of the contract. The Contractor may also submit all of their estimates, both electronically and on paper, using the Construction Cost Estimate Breakdown worksheet, located in AFFARS 5336.9001.

1.1.2 The estimating and project management software package shall support all of the City Cost Indexes provided by RSMeans annually and quarterly in addition to supporting Division Level Material/Installation, Division Level Weighted Average, Weighted Average Material/Installation and Weighted Average Totaling for Bare Cost pricing and Overhead and Profit (O&P) unit pricing. The software shall be able to export to Microsoft Excel™ and Adobe PDF™ file types as well as create electronic Air Force Forms 3064 (Progress Schedule), 3065 (Contract Progress Report) 66 (Schedule of Submittals), 3000 (Material Submittals), 3052 (Construction Cost Estimate), etc. and Department of Defense (DoD) Form 1354 Real Property documents.

1.1.3 Information on this software and pricing may be obtained by emailing sales@4-clicks.com advising it is for use on the Hill AFB Simplified Acquisition of Base Engineering Requirements (SABER) follow-on contract. Government Service Administration (GSA) pricing may be available with written consent from the Contracting Officer.

1.2 DEFINITIONS

1.2.1 Unit Price Book (UPB): The list and price information for all pre-priced items covered in this contract. The UPB shall include the base cost pricing from the RSMeans Facilities Cost Data Guide, RSMeans Assemblies, and the RSMeans Master Composite Cost Data Guides – consisting of Building Construction, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing, Green Book, Interior, Site Work & Landscape, Concrete & Masonry and Heavy Construction Cost Data. The UPB shall also include RSMeans trades line items, average line items, and Government Furnished Materials line items.

1.2.2 Line item: An item or system denoted in the UPB by a unique line item number.

1.2.3 Bare costs: The cost of a line item without any multiplier.

1.2.4 Multipliers: All factors added to the bare cost pricing of the UPB. This includes the City Cost Index (CCI).

1.2.5 Prepriced line item: A line item from the UPB with approved changes.

1.2.6 Non-prepriced line item (NPI): A line item that is not a prepriced line item.

1.2.7 Conventional line item: A line item listed directly from an RSMeans Cost Data

Guide(s).

1.2.8 RSMeans trades line item: These are the bare cost hourly rates found in the back of the annually published RSMeans hardcopy books.

1.2.9 Average line item: An item that is created by using a minimum and maximum line item.

If an average line item can be found in the UPB, that line item will be used. If there is no line item for an average, but there is a line item for minimum and maximum and the average line item is applicable the contractor will locate the two line items, the minimum and the maximum in the UPB. Then, the Contractor will create an alternate prepriced line item using the average total cost of the two line items. This will be used as a means to create an average line item when none exists. This line item will be prepriced. If the minimum and maximum line item cannot be found in the UPB, the average line item will be an NPI.

1.2.10 Government-Furnished Materials (GFM): On occasion, the government may choose to supply the Contractor with materials to accomplish project requirements. If this occurs, the line item prices for labor and equipment only will be used. They are considered as prepriced. The Contractor will not adjust the labor and equipment pricing. The materials are to be maintained by the Contractor, and excess materials are to be returned to the government.

1.2.11 All prices in the UPB are for completed and in-place construction unless explicitly described otherwise. Incidental fasteners such as, nails, screws, bolts, weldments, connectors, and adhesives are included in the bare material cost. Unless specifically omitted in the UPB line item description, testing, adjusting, balancing, and start-up of installed equipment is included in the unit price line number cost found in the UPB.

Line items are for end finishes. For example, the line item price for concrete broom finish includes all finishes necessary to result in the broom finish.

1.2.12 The UPB prices certain line items with a “Minimum labor/equipment charge.” This minimum charge is often the price a tradesman would charge to make a special visit to perform that work. If the contractor is already on-site and the minimum is met, then this item shall not be used as an adjustment to the Unit Price line items.

1.2.13 Line items for mobilization and demobilization are for one or the other unless noted otherwise. Normally, a piece of equipment will need to be mobilized and demobilized.

Therefore, the line item would normally be included twice per piece of equipment used.

Small equipment placed in rear of truck or towed by a pickup truck is limited to those items included in the RSMeans crews.

1.3 PRICE DETERMINATION

1.3.1 City Cost Index (CCI): The CCI will be applied with totaling components after the bare cost of the line items have been totaled.

1.3.1.1 The CCI for task orders at Hill AFB will use the current CCI for the city nearest to where the project will be performed (generally Ogden, UT).

1.3.1.2 Conventional line items will use the most current published Weighted Average Total

CCI.

1.3.1.3 The RSMeans trades, selective demolition, removal and replacement, average, and GFM lines items will be summated and multiplied by the most current published Weighted Average Total CCI.

1.3.1.4 Prepriced Line Items: Bare cost line items from the Unit Price Book (UPB) will be summated with the CCI applied as described above. This is the prepriced line item total.

1.3.1.5 Non-Prepriced Line Items: The non-prepriced line items shall be summated. This is the non-prepriced line item total. This includes all Professional Labor Categories (as required) for each Task Order with unburdened labor rates and hours.

1.3.1.6 Profit and Overhead: Task Order profit and overhead rates shall be broken out as a separate line item(s) on each project price proposal.

1.3.1.7 Final Project Price: The summation of the prepriced, non-prepriced, and profit/overhead line item totals, shall result in the final project price.

1.4 COST ESTIMATE ORGANIZATION

1.4.1 Cost estimates will be developed using the Facilities Guide for all repair work and Master Composite Guide for all new construction work.

1.4.2 Cost Estimates will be comprised of three sections: 1) Division Summary, 2) Totaling Components and C) Line Item Estimate.

a. Section 1, Division Summary: This section shall include the RSMeans prepriced divisions, Trades, Assemblies and Alternates (both prepriced and non-prepriced).

These items shall make up the Bare Total. No markups shall be applied at this level.

b. Section 2, Totaling Components: This section includes totaling components setup for all applicable markups. (CCI’s shall be applied as described above.)

c. Section 3, Line Item Estimate: This section shall include all of the estimate line items.
