1.2 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

A. Project Location: The project is located at Fort Jefferson, Dry Tortugas National Park, Garden Key, in Monroe County, Florida. Garden Key is located in the Gulf of Mexico approximately 68 miles west of Key West. Garden Key is only accessible by boat or seaplane. The logistics of transporting personnel, supplies, materials and equipment to the Dry Tortugas and maintaining a productive construction site far from the mainland will require careful planning and coordination by the Contractor.

B. The Work consists of the following:

1. The Work of this project consists of preserving and stabilizing multiple historic resources at Fort Jefferson including; the Large Detached Magazine, the Small Detached Magazine, the Engineers’ Quarters ruin, the Soldiers’ Barracks ruin, the Officers’ Quarters ruin, a bastion and curtain magazine and the Bakery. The work will focus on the repair, repointing and stabilization of historic masonry to prevent further deterioration and potential loss of historic fabric. Some restorative efforts at the Bastion and Curtain magazines are included in the scope of work to enhance their interpretive value.

Fort Jefferson is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NR) and managed as a cultural resource asset. Historical significance extends to the entire site including all associated buildings, landscapes, engineering features and marine construction. This significance also extends to subterranean items including undiscovered or unexcavated archaeological resources. During construction care must be taken to protect all cultural and natural resources.

DRTO - 168910 01 11 00 - 2

The site’s historical and environmental significance must be considered when planning and executing construction means and methods. All proposed work and modifications to historic features shall be in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior’s “Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring and Reconstructing Historic Buildings.” Contractor shall proceed with care and attention to preservation concerns. Conservative and cautious approaches when working on or around this resource will be given precedence over radical and unproven methods.

Repair and retention of existing historic fabric is a priority. If potential exists for irreversible damage or loss of fabric, Contractor will cease work and seek guidance and approval from Contracting Officer (CO) before resuming work. Actions deemed detrimental to the resource or actions that place the resource at risk of damage or loss to its historic integrity, regardless of cause, will not be undertaken without prior review and approval by the Contracting Officer.

2. Project is designed to comply with a Certification Level according to the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) Rating System, as specified in Division 01 Section "Sustainable Design Requirements."

C. Project may be constructed under multiple contracts.

1.3 WORK PHASES

A. The Work may be conducted in multiple phases.

1. Phasing will be determined based on the priorities and needs of the National Park Service.

1.4 CONTRACTOR USE OF SITE

A. General: Contractor shall have limited use of the site for construction operations during the construction period. Limit use of site to only those areas agreed to in advance with the CMR. Do not disturb portions of the project site beyond areas in which the Work is indicated.

1. Limits: Confine staging and operations to Contractor work area on the North Coaling Dock and other areas indicated on drawings or agreed to in advance with the Contracting Officer.

2. While the Contractor Work Area shown on the drawings will be closed to the public during construction, the sally port entrance to the fort needs to remain open to NPS personnel and the visiting public. If closure of the sally port is necessary for limited periods of time, the Contractor shall coordinate the details of this closure with the Contracting Officer. Use of the sally port will be restricted/limited by NPS from 10:30 am to 3:00 pm.

3. Contractor Mooring Area: Contractor Mooring Area shown on drawings will be available to Contractor vessels on a limited and temporary basis for loading and unloading of materials and equipment. The mooring area will not be available to the Contractor when the tour boat, NPS Ft. Jefferson or other official vessels (such as Coast Guard vessels) are scheduled to use the main dock. Contractor vessels using the mooring area will need to be relocated immediately following completion of their tasks. In order to provide temporary controls and limit public access to the area, the Contractor shall coordinate use of the

DRTO - 168910 01 11 00 - 3

mooring location with the Contracting Office. Contractor shall provide a minimum of 48hrs notice of any Contractor vessel arriving at DRTO.

4. Limits on Number of Contractor Personnel: An environmental assessment for the project was performed resulting in a finding of no significant impact (FONSI). This FONSI was based on a limitation being placed on the number of Contractor personnel that can be housed at the site to perform the work of the project. The Contractor’s crew (including subcontractor personnel) shall not exceed ten (10) individuals staying overnight on Garden Key and using water and sewage utilities during a 24-hour period.

5. Contractor Housing: There is one dormitory facility referred to as “The Crew’s Quarters” with bunk beds (10 beds total) that the Contractor may use to accommodate its staff. The cost of these accommodations is $30.00 per person/per night. If the Contractor proposes to use these dormitory facilities to accommodate its staff, the Contractor shall include in its technical proposal the number of beds by days that it intends to use. Further, during contract performance, the Contractor is responsible for tracking the number of beds used each month and making payment to Dry Tortugas National Park on a fixed payment schedule (every 3 months). The Contractor shall submit a report to the Government indicating the actual number of beds used by date with each payment. Facilities and supplies available in the Crew’s Quarters includes two toilets, two showers, one lavatory, one satellite television, three refrigerator/freezers, one freezer, one ice-maker, one microwave, range/oven, two coffee makers, pots, pans and tableware. The Contractor agrees that its staff shall not damage these accommodations and shall use reasonable amounts of electricity, water, and waste disposal. This requirement for conservation of electricity, water and waste disposal is required due to the remote location of the site and the Park’s schedule for waste and water management. No cleaning or other services are provided by the Government.

6. Provisions: The Contractor and or Contractor’s personnel shall provide their own food/condiments/drinks/toiletries and any other personal items for the length of their stay.

Recreation items desired such as fishing/snorkeling gear, beach accessories, or flashlights must likewise be brought to the site by the Contractor and/or its personnel.

2. Do not include costs for “miscellaneous tools and equipment”, in your proposal for a replacement value of $500 or less. Costs shown in excess of $500 must be broken out separately.

3. Regardless of ownership, the rates to be used in determining equipment rental costs shall be the lowest cost from one of the following sources:

a. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers , Ownership and Operating Expense Schedule (use latest edition and applicable region)

b. Construction Blue Book

DRTO - 168910 01 26 01 - 5

c. Local equipment rental rates, documented by actual invoice charges, or itemized vendor quotes.

4. The estimated equipment rates shall include the operating costs of all fuel, oil, lubrication, supplies, small tools, necessary attachments, ground engaging components, tires & tracks, routine repairs and maintenance (cost of major repair and overhaul is not allowed per FAR 31.105(d)(2)), depreciation, storage, insurance, and all incidentals.

Mobilization, if applicable, may be included for equipment solely used on the modification work but must be listed separately.

5. Estimate the full rate for equipment only for the duration that the equipment will be utilized to accomplish the work of the modification.

6. Standby unit rates used are to be in accordance with paragraph 1.3, D, 2, above. If the US Army Corp of Engineers is utilized then their standby rates prevail. If Bluebook or local equipment pricing is accepted, then ½ of the equipment costs minus any operating costs, major repair and overhaul will be accepted.

7. If equipment is in standby mode due solely to a documented NPS delay, the established standby rate shall apply from the first day of the delay.

8. Equipment that is not used and on the jobsite for up to five consecutive days may be classified at standby rates, provided that the equipment is or has been used solely to perform work on the modification and will be necessary to complete additional modification work. Equipment that is still on the jobsite but not in use after five consecutive days will not be considered in the modification pricing.

9. Requests for compensation for equipment stand by time must be justified, documented and itemized separately.

10. The estimated timeframe (daily, weekly, monthly) for use of the equipment must reflect the lowest cost to the Government.

E. Establishment and Application of Overhead and Profit Percentages:

1. Home Office Overhead and Profit (OH&P) shall be applied to direct costs only. Profit shall not be applied to overhead amounts; and overhead shall not be applied to profit.

Home office overhead shall contain only allowable, allocable, and reasonable costs per the contract documents and FAR Part 31. Profit percentages are based on risk factors found in FAR Part 31which have been applied to the specific type of work included in this project. Negotiated rates shall not exceed the following percentages for OH&P for contractor self-performed work:

Overhead………………10% Profit………………5.5%

2. Total aggregate limit of markup (OH&P) for contractor and subcontractors on modification work shall not exceed 25%. The NPS will not be responsible for allocation of percentages between contractor and subcontractors at any tier.

3. If contractors form a partnership, than the partnership may only receive home office overhead and profit in the same amount as an individual contractor (refer to par 1.3,E,1 above). It is the responsibility of the partners to decide on the division of revenue.

4. Combined Increases and Decreases: On proposals involving both increases and decreases in the Contract Price, the overhead and profit mark-ups are required on the net increases and deducted on net decreases.

5. At no time can profit be calculated on Overhead or itself, it must be calculated on direct costs of work only.
