BID SCHEDULE INSTRUCTIONS

PROJECT: PR ER DOT PRMNT RPR(21)

BIDDERS PLEASE NOTE: Before preparing the bid, carefully read the Instructions to

Bidders. While preparing the bid, comply with the following:

COMPLETING THE BID SCHEDULE

Complete the Bid Schedule(s) by handwriting in ink or typing. Specify a Unit Bid Price, in figures with cents to only two decimal places, for each pay item in the Unit Bid Price column for which a quantity is given. Do not enter or tender a Unit Bid Price for any pay item for which no estimated quantity appears in the Bid Schedule. Determine the products of the respective unit prices and quantities, and show them, in figures, in the Amount Bid column. If a Unit Bid Price and Amount Bid have been inserted by the Government for a pay item, do not change the Unit

Bid Price and Amount Bid for the pay item. Determine the Bid Total for each specific individual

Schedule of Work by adding the amounts of the listed items and show in the block provided for that individual Schedule of Work. In case of multiplication errors, the Amount Bid for the item will be based on the Unit Bid Price.

To be eligible for award, bidders must submit prices for each pay item.

Review Subsection 109.05 of the Special Contract Requirements (SCR) regarding scope of payment for direct and indirect payment work.

Fill in the Bid Total(s) for each individual Schedule of Work as directed on the Bid Summary page. Fill in the Evaluation Total Price of Project in the space provided on the Bid Summary page.

The amount in Block 17 of the SF 1442 should be completed as follows:

Schedule A - $ .

Schedule B - $ .

SCHEDULES OF WORK

The Bid Schedule is comprised of the following separate schedules and options of work:

Schedule A (Base Contract) - Pages B-1 thru B-4

Schedule B (Government Option 1) - Pages B-5 thru B-9

The Government will award the project as a Base Contract (Schedule A) with the option to award Schedule B (Government Option 1); see FAR Clause 52.217-5.

The purpose of the multiple schedules and options is to give the Government maximum flexibility in completing the project in a timely manner and at a cost-effective price, by proper utilization of programmed funds and upon receipt of any additional funds or permits required to award the contract. If complete funding is in place at the time of award of Schedule A (Base

Contract), the Government may award Schedule B (Government Option 1) at that time. If additional funding is required for the award of Schedule B (Government Option 1), and received after the award of Schedule A (Base Contract), the Government has the right to exercise Schedule B (Government Option 1) at the unit prices bid no later than 180 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed for Schedule A (Base Contract).

COMPLETION OF WORK

The Government has estimated the number of calendar days necessary to complete all contract work from the effective date of the Notice to Proceed to contract completion for the various contract award scenarios. The maximum number of calendar days allowed (i.e., the contact performance period) is shown in Block 11 of the SF-1442 and described below.

If the Government awards the contract as Schedules A + B, the performance period to complete all contract work will be 551 calendar days.

If the Government awards the contract as Schedule A only, the performance period to complete all Schedule A work will be 296 calendar days and will start on the effective date of

Schedule A’s Notice to Proceed.

If Schedule B (Government Option 1) is exercised after the award of the original contract, the performance period of the contract will be extended 283 calendar days and the performance of Schedule B work is to be simultaneous with the performance of the executed contract.

In developing a construction schedule to determine the number of calendar days, the Government considered and included the work limitations shown in Sections 108 and 156 of the Special

Contract Requirements (SCR). Specific work limitations may be (but are not limited to):

National legal holidays, weekends, rush hours, night work, specified no work periods, work or traffic control phasing, etc. The Government also considered those work items that are weather sensitive and when those work items will be performed. Specific work items may include (but not limited to): those that require a minimum ambient air temperature (asphalt paving and surface treatment, pavement striping, stone masonry, etc); those that require maintaining a minimum surface temperature (concrete pavement, structural concrete, painting, etc); and those that have specific planting seasons (turf establishment, sod, trees, plants, etc). The Government also considered time required for preparing material and drawing submittals, and the allowable

Government review times for those submittals (Subsection 104.03 of the SCR).

Bidders are to assume that the award of the contract and approval of the Contractor’s

Performance and Payment Bonds (see Block 12a of the SF-1442 and FAR Clause 52.228-15) may result in the start of construction activities to be no earlier than June 2024. See Subsection 108.01 of the SCR’s for additional details.

BASIS FOR AWARD

The contract will be awarded to the responsive, responsible bidder with the lowest Evaluation

Total Price of Project, which is defined as:

Prescribed by GSA - FAR (48 CFR) 53.228(a)

FOR (Construction, Supplies or Services)

OBLIGATION:

We, the Principal and Surety(ies) are firmly bound to the United States of America (hereinafter called the Government) in the above penal sum. For payment of the penal sum, we bind ourselves, our heirs, executors, administrators, and successors, jointly and severally. However, where the Sureties are corporations acting as co-sureties, we, the Sureties, bind ourselves in such sum "jointly and severally" as well as "severally" only for the purpose of allowing a joint action or actions against any or all of us. For all other purposes, each Surety binds itself, jointly and severally with the Principal, for the payment of the sum shown opposite the name of the Surety. If no limit of liability is indicated, the limit of liability is the full amount of the penal sum.

CONDITIONS:

The Principal has submitted the bid identified above.

THEREFORE:

INSTRUCTIONS

1. This form is authorized for use when a bid guaranty is required. Any deviation from this form will require the written approval of the Administrator of General Services.

2. Insert the full legal name and business address of the Principal in the space designated "Principal" on the face of the form. An authorized person shall sign the bond. Any person signing in a representative capacity (e.g., an attorney-in-fact) must furnish evidence of authority if that representative is not a member of the firm, partnership, or joint venture, or an officer of the corporation involved.

3. The bond may express penal sum as a percentage of the bid price. In these cases, the bond may state a maximum dollar limitation (e.g., 20% of the bid price but the amount not to exceed dollars).

4. (a) Corporations executing the bond as sureties must appear on the Department of the Treasury's list of approved sureties and must act within the limitations listed therein. The value put into the LIABILITY LIMIT block is the penal sum (i.e., the face value) of the bond, unless a co-surety arrangement is proposed.

(b) When multiple corporate sureties are involved, their names and addresses shall appear in the spaces (Surety A, Surety B, etc.) headed "CORPORATE SURETY(IES)." In the space designated "SURETY(IES)" on the face of the form, insert only the letter identifier corresponding to each of the sureties. Moreover, when co-surety arrangements exist, the parties may allocate their respective limitations of liability under the bond, provided that the sum total of their liability equals 100% of the bond penal sum.

(c) When individual sureties are involved, a completed Affidavit of Individual Surety (Standard Form 28) for each individual surety, shall accompany the bond.

The Government may require the surety to furnish additional substantiating information concerning its financial capability.

5. Corporations executing the bond shall affix their corporate seals. Individuals shall execute the bond opposite the word "Corporate Seal"; and shall affix an adhesive seal if executed in Maine, New Hampshire, or any other jurisdiction requiring adhesive seals.
