If complete funding is in place at the time of award of Schedule A (Base Contract), the

Government may award Schedules B, C, and D (Government Options 1, 2, and 3) at that time. If additional funding is required for the award of Schedules B, C, and D (Government Options 1, 2, and 3), and is received after the award of Schedule A (Base Contract), the Government has the right to exercise Schedules B, C, and D (Government Options 1, 2, and 3) at the unit prices bid according to the following schedule:

Schedule B (Government Option 1): No later than the contract completion date for

Schedule A (Base Contract).

Schedule C (Government Option 2): No later than the contract completion date for

Schedule B (Government Option 1).

Schedule D (Government Option 3): No later than the contract completion date for

Schedule C (Government Option 2).

COMPLETION OF WORK

The Government has estimated the number of calendar days necessary to complete all work from the effective date of the Notice to Proceed to contract completion for the various award scenarios. The maximum number of calendar days allowed (i.e. the contract 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, the performance period to complete all work will be 872 calendar days.

If the Government awards the contract as Schedule A only, the performance period to complete all Schedule A work will be 183 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 to complete all Schedule B work will be 400 calendar days and will start on the effective date of Schedule B’s Notice to Proceed.

If Schedule C (Government Option 2) is exercised after the award of the original contract, the performance period to complete all Schedule C work will be 76 calendar days and will start on the effective date of Schedule C’s Notice to Proceed.

If Schedule D (Government Option 3) is exercised after the award of the original contract, the performance period to complete all Schedule D work will be 211 calendar days and will start on the effective date of Schedule D’s Notice to Proceed.

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 FP and

Special Contract Requirements (SCRs). 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 FP and SCRs).

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 April 2025. See

Subsection 108.01 of the SCRs 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.

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:

The above obligation is void if the Principal - (a) upon acceptance by the Government of the bid identified above, within the period specified therein for acceptance (sixty (60) days if no period is specified), executes the further contractual documents and gives the bond(s) required by the terms of the bid as accepted within the time specified (ten (10) days if no period is specified) after receipt of the forms by the Principal; or (b) in the event of failure to execute such further contractual documents and give such bonds, pays the Government for any cost of procuring the work which exceeds the amount of the bid.

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. Notice to the Surety(ies) of extension(s) is waived. However, waiver of the notice applies only to extensions aggregating not more than sixty (60) calendar days in addition to the period originally allowed for acceptance of the bid.

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.
