b. Normal Escalation, defined as the anticipated inflation increase to the midpoint of construction, and expressed as a percentage;

c. Extraordinary Escalation, defined as potential cost increases attributable to unusual market conditions (material shortages, labor non-availability or other risks the offerors may perceive that are beyond normal inflation); and

d. Construction Contingency, defined in the GMP clause of this solicitation as, the anticipated change order rate, and expressed as a percentage.

· A list of potential “VE” ideas or suggestions that would shorten the construction duration, reduce potential escalation costs, and cost associated with Division 1 requirements. VE ideas or suggestions should be detailed and include an estimate of the cost impact.
