Re: Statement of Work, Para. 3.1.5.1 – Do “Engineered Performance Standards, Preventative Maintenance Standards, and Service Call Standards” refer to specific publications? If so, please provide a source for these publications.

RESPONSE: The referenced standards are price books developed by RS Means.

Re: Statement of Objectives (Project No. 10-1888, VPP Repair Steel Posts Facility 30055) – Is the pricing to be based as strictly as possible on the Scope of Work (para. 3.0)? Can betterments be offered for consideration?

RESPONSE: Reference the SOW paragraph 3:

3. DELIVERY ORDER PRICING: Contractor delivery order pricing shall be accomplished as described below and based on the most economical standard construction practices. Value engineering and design review shall be used in project design and scope development. Unreasonable methods and or estimates to accomplish delivery order tasks will not be accepted.

Re: Statement of Work, Para. 3.1.5.2 - Several items of work required for this project are not included in the RS Means Price Book. This will require the use of Non Pre-priced Items. The referenced paragraph states “Labor costs shall be derived using the RS Means productivity crew cost rates”. If a matching item is not found, how are the labor costs derived from the price book.

RESPONSE: Reference the SOW paragraph 3.1.5. and 3.1.5.3.:

3.1.5. Non Pre-priced Items (NPP): Items of work not included in the UPB required for execution of a deliver order and within the scope and general intent of the contract, these items must be submitted, approved and or negotiated if necessary.

3.1.5.3. The contractor shall submit a worksheet for each NPP item which shows all of the costs and calculations used to develop the NPP item’s price.
