PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

1.1.1 Project Description

Provide all plant, labor, tools, equipment, and materials (except as indicated otherwise in the specifications) and perform all work in strict accordance with the plans and specifications required for the Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC). The SATOC is for a broad range of maintenance, repair, and minor construction work on roadways at Big Bend Dam, SD. During the contract period, the government will identify tasks required to complete each specific job and will issue Requests for Proposals (RFPs).

The contractor shall be required to furnish all materials, equipment and personnel necessary to manage and accomplish the Task Orders (TOs). The Task Orders may include construction, removal, replacement, and repair associated with roadway projects. Removal, replacement and/or repair of existing subgrade, utilities, shoulders, curbs, gutters, sidewalks and other real property common to roadways may also be included.

1.1.2 Location

The work shall be performed at various locations at Big Bend Dam, SD.

Located within the Big Bend SD project bounds, approximately three miles SE of Fort Thompson, SD.

1.2 OCCUPANCY OF PREMISES

Before work is started, the Contractor shall arrange with the Contracting Officer a sequence of procedure, means of access, space for storage of materials and equipment.

1.3 EXISTING WORK

In addition to "FAR 52.236-9, Protection of Existing Vegetation, Structures, Equipment, Utilities, and Improvements":

a. Remove or alter existing work in such a manner as to prevent injury or damage to any portions of the existing work which remain.

b. Repair or replace portions of existing work which have been altered during construction operations to match existing or adjoining work, as approved by the Contracting Officer. At the completion of operations, existing work shall be in a condition equal to or better than that which existed before new work started.

1.4 Location of Underground Utilities

Scan the construction site with electromagnetic or sonic equipment, and mark the surface of the ground, pier deck or paved surface where existing underground utilities are discovered. Verify the elevations of existing piping, utilities,and any type of underground or encased obstruction not

SECTION 01 11 00 Page 2 indicated to be specified or removed but indicated or discovered during scanning in locations to be traversed by piping, ducts, and other work to be conducted or installed.

1.4.1 EXCAVATION WORK

Notify the Contracting Officer at least 48 hours prior to starting excavation work.

1.5 Exhibit Line Items (ELINs)

This is a pre-priced line item contract. Task Orders issued under this contract shall be negotiated and priced based on the ELINs identified in the ELIN Pricing Schedule (Attachment A). On rare occasions, some task orders may include work that is not included on the ELIN schedule. In these cases, non-pre-priced (NPP) items may be negotiated, but the total price of NPP items cannot exceed 10% of the task order value. However, the contracting officer may exceed the 10 percent if the NPP portion of the order involves urgent or emergency situations or if the contracting officer determines it is a good business decision. Any proposal with a NPP item exceeding $2,000 must include three quotes from competing sub-contractors/suppliers, to aid the government in establishing fair and reasonable pricing for the NPP item.

Each ELIN title includes the applicable technical specifications by which the contractor must comply. Each ELIN includes all labor, materials, equipment, mobilization, demobilization, clean-up, supervision, overhead, and profit required to perform the work. The ELIN Pricing Schedule identifies the unit of measure (and unit pricing upon award) for each ELIN.

The ELIN unit pricing will be fixed for the life of the contract for each year of the base ordering period and each year of the option ordering period.

1.6 Ordering Procedures

A Request for Proposal (RFP) with a project specific Statement of Work (SOW), government provided concept sketch, and submittal register will be issued to the contractor. The contractor will not be reimbursed for any pre-task order costs, including site visits, proposal preparation, or attendance during negotiations.

A site walk(s) and scoping meeting(s) will be conducted with the government and contractor prior to submission of the proposal. The SOW, sketches, recommended improvements, and means and methods of construction will be discussed.

The contractor will submit a proposal using the Exhibit Line Items (ELIN) Pricing Schedule (Attachment A) that includes the appropriate ELINS and associated quantity take-offs applicable to the task order. The total price of the proposal will be established by multiplying the pre-priced unit price of each ELIN times the contractor's proposed quantities for each ELIN. These ELINs will then be totaled. The contractor will also include with its proposal a preliminary construction schedule, any recommended improvements to the SOW or sketches, and when applicable, a preliminary traffic control plan.

A negotiation will be conducted between the government and contractor to discuss applicable ELINS, quantities, non-pre-priced (NPP), construction

SECTION 01 11 00 Page 3 duration, and any changes to the SOW or sketches (recommended improvements).

ELINs agreed upon during negotiations of each task order (to include the means and methods of construction) shall be considered to be included in the SOW for that task order, but the quantities agreed upon will be used only for the pricing of the task order and will not be binding on either party unless otherwise specified in the task order.

A firm fixed price task will be awarded by the contracting officer to complete the work as negotiated, to include the final SOW and sketches. The contractor cannot begin work until the contracting officer has approved the applicable performance and payment bonds and a notice to proceed is issued.

1.19 PROFIT

a. Use the weighted guidelines method of determining profit on any equitable adjustment change order or modification issued under this contract. The profit factors must be as follows:

Factor Rate Weight Value Degree of Risk 20 See Item

SECTION 01 30 00.24 Page 7

Relative difficulty of work 15 b. below Size of Job 15 Period of performance 15 Contractor's investment 5 Assistance by Government 5 Subcontracting 25

b. Based on the circumstances of each procurement action, each of the above factors must be weighted from .03 to .12 as indicated below. Obtain the value by multiplying the rate by the weight. The value column when totaled indicates the fair and reasonable profit percentage under the circumstances of the particular procurement.

(1) Degree of Risk. Where the work involves no risk or the degree of risk is very small, the weighting should be .03; as the degree of risk increases, the weighting should be increased up to a maximum of .12. Lump sum items will have, generally, a higher weighted value than the unit price items for which quantities are provided. Other things to consider: the portion of the work to be done by subcontractors, nature of work, where work is to be performed, reasonableness of negotiated costs, amount of labor included in costs, and whether the negotiation is before or after performance of work.

(2) Relative Difficulty of Work. If the work is most difficult and complex, the weighting should be .12 and should be proportionately reduced to .03 on the simplest of jobs. This factor is tied in to some extent with the degree of risk. Some things to consider: the nature of the work, by whom it is to be done, where, and what is the time schedule.

(3) Size of Job. All work not in excess of $100,000 shall be weighted at .12. Work estimated between $100,000 and $5,000,000 shall be proportionately weighted from .12 to .05.

(4) Periods of Performance. Jobs in excess of 24 months are to be weighted at .12. Jobs of lesser duration are to be proportionately weighted to a minimum of .03 for jobs not to exceed 30 days. No weight where additional time not required.

(5) Contractor's Investment. To be weighted from .03 to .12 on the basis of below average, average, and above average. Things to consider: amount of subcontracting, mobilization payment item, Government furnished property, equipment and facilities, and expediting assistance.

(6) Assistance by Government. To be weighted from .12 to .03 on the basis of average to above average. Things to consider: use of Government-owned property, equipment and facilities, and expediting assistance.

(7) Subcontracting. To be weighted inversely proportional to the amount of subcontracting. Where 80 percent or more of the work is to be subcontracted, the weighting is to be .03 and such weighting proportionately increased to .12 where all the work is performed by the Contractor's own forces.
