BID SCHEDULE INSTRUCTIONS

PROJECT: PR ER PRMNT RPR(7)

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 SCR (Contract Requirements) 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 - $ .

Schedule C - $ .

Schedule D - $ .

Schedule E - $ .

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-2 Schedule B (Government Option 1) Schedule C (Government Option 2) Schedule D (Government Option 3) Schedule E (Government Option 4)

- Page B-3

- Page B-4

- Page B-5

- Page B-6

The Government will award the project as a Base Contract (Schedule A) with the option to award Schedules B, C, D, and E (Government Options 1, 2, 3, and 4); 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 required to award the contract. If complete funding is in place at the time of award of Schedule A (Base Contract) and permitting issues for the individual schedules are resolved by that time, the Government may award Schedules B, C, D, and E (Government Options 1, 2, 3, and 4) at that time. If additional funding is required and/or permitting issues have not been resolved for the award of Schedules B, C, D, and/or E (Government Options 1, 2, 3, and/or 4), and funding is received and permitting issues are resolved after the award of Schedule A (Base Contract), the Government has the right to exercise Schedules B, C, D, and/or E (Government Options 1, 2, 3, and/or 4) at the unit prices bid no later than:

For Schedules B and C: 240 calendar days after the Notice to Proceed for Schedule A (Base Contract); and

For Schedules D and E: 365 calendar days after 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 + C + D + E, the performance period to complete all contract work will be 850 calendar days.

If the Government awards the contract as Schedule A only, the performance period to complete all Schedule A work will be 785 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 65 calendar days and the performance of Schedule B work is to be simultaneous with the performance of the executed contract.

If Schedule C (Government Option 1) is exercised after the award of the original contract, the performance period of the contract will not be extended and the performance of Schedule C work is to be simultaneous with the performance of the executed contract.

If Schedule D (Government Option 1) is exercised after the award of the original contract, the performance period of the contract will not be extended and the performance of Schedule D work is to be simultaneous with the performance of the executed contract.

If Schedule E (Government Option 1) is exercised after the award of the original contract, the performance period of the contract will not be extended and the performance of Schedule E 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 are (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 2022. 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:

Schedule A (Base Contract) Bid Total + Schedule B (Government Option 1) Bid Total + Schedule C (Government Option 2) Bid Total + Schedule D (Government Option 3) Bid Total + Schedule E (Government Option 4) Bid Total.

B - 0

Bidder/Offeror please note: Before preparing the bid, carefully read the Solicitation Provisions. Insert a unit bid price, in figures, for each pay item for which a quantity appears in the bid schedule. Multiply the unit price by the quantity for each pay item and show the amount bid. Should any mathematical check made by the Government show a mistake in the amount bid, the corrected unit price extension shall govern. When the word "LPSM" (Lump Sum) appears as a unit bid price, insert an amount for each lump sum pay item. When a sum based on a fixed rate appears for any pay item in the amount bid column, include the Government inserted amount bid for the item in the total bid amount. Total all of the amounts bid for each pay item and show the total bid amount.

Each Surety executing this instrument agrees that its obligation is not impaired by any extension(s) of the time for acceptance of the bid that the Principal may grant to the Government.
