B. Labor:

1. Contractor shall estimate the cost of labor by itemizing each craft involved, indicating worker hourly rate (base rate + labor burden + fringe benefits) for each and itemizing the hours required for each craft that will be directly engaged in modification work.

Any work proposed requiring overtime work or premium pay shall be itemized separately. All rates shall be in accordance with the Davis-Bacon Act as incorporated herein. Labor Burden may include payroll taxes, Social Security, unemployment insurances, workers compensation insurance, Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA), FUTA, and other direct costs resulting from Federal, State or local laws.

2. Itemize labor costs for equipment operators separate from equipment costs.

3. The labor cost for foremen shall only be costs for related work required for the modification.

C. Materials:

1. The estimated cost for materials shall include quotes from multiple sources. Material prices shall include all applicable fees and credits, including but not limited to, sales tax, freight and delivery charges, and tax rebates.

2. No markup shall be applied to any material provided by the NPS.

D. Equipment:

1. Equipment used for the project must be appropriately sized for the work being performed.

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

b. Construction Blue Book,

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

4. Estimated equipment rates shall include operating costs of all fuel, oil, lubrication, supplies, small tools, necessary attachments, ground engaging components, tires and tracks, routine repairs and maintenance (cost of major repair and overhaul is not allowed per Federal Acquisition Regulation (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 in accordance with paragraph 1.3, D, 2, above. If the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers is utilized then their standby rates prevail. If Bluebook or local equipment pricing is accepted, then 1/2 of 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 job site 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………………8.00%

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 paragraph

GLAC - 307440 01 26 01 - 6

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.
