1.2 GENERAL BID NOTES

a. Award will be made on the total sum of Contract Line Item[s] 0001AA, 0001AB, and 0001AC, and the sum of the extensions under Contract Line Item 0001AD. For CLIN 0001AD enter unit prices and extended totals in spaces provided. If there is a difference between a unit price and the extended total, the unit price will be held to be the intended bid and the total recomputed accordingly. If an Offeror provides a total but fails to enter a unit price, the total divided by the specified quantity will be held to be the intended unit price.

b. The Government reserves the unilateral right to award CLIN 0002 and CLIN 0003 to the Contractor at the proposed price within 180 calendar days after the contract award. A firm fixed proposed price is required for CLIN 0001, CLIN 0002, and CLIN 0003. No provision is made for economic price adjustment. If Options are exercised, the contract completion date remains [_____] calendar days after award of the contract.

c. Evaluation of Options (JUL 1990). Except when it is determined in accordance with FAR 17.206(b) Evaluation not to be in the Government's best interest, the Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the price for the Option(s) to the total price for CLIN 0001. In accordance with FAR 52.217-5 Evaluation of Options, evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the Option(s).

d. The Government may reject an offer as nonresponsive if it is materially unbalanced as to prices for the basic requirement and the option quantities. An offer is unbalanced when it is based on prices significantly less than cost for some work and prices, which are significantly overstated for other work.

e. If CLIN 0002 and 0003 are exercised, additional bonding and consent of surety is required. Consequently, the Performance Bond must reflect 100 percent of the aggregate amount of all Items.

PLANNED MODIFICATION BID NOTES

These notes apply to Planned Modification CLINs.

a. The estimated amount for FF&E and A/V has been supplied by the Government, to provide offerors with the projected magnitude of effort. The estimated amount includes the actual cost of the FF&E and A/V including freight and installation charges. The Government FF&E and A/V Estimate is only an estimated amount.

b. If awarded, line items will be funded separately after completion of FF&E and A/V design package review by the Government, and receipt of appropriate funding by the Government. Requirements and details are provided in Section 01 30 01.00 22 DESIGN PROCUREMENT AND INSTALLATION OF FURNITURE, FIXTURES, AND

EQUIPMENT.

c. Bonding is not required for the design, procurement and installation of FF&E and A/V equipment.

d. Offerors may propose a Handling and Administration Rate (HAR) for the FF&E and A/V not to exceed 5 percent.

This fee will account for all administrative costs, overhead, bonding fees, administration of subcontracts, profit, and any other costs associated with and related to the coordination and processing of the procurement and installation of FF&E and A/V. The proposed HAR percentage will be incorporated into the contract award and will not be adjusted regardless of fluctuations from the estimate amount for the FF&E and A/V. The proposed HAR is a fixed rate.

e. The Government is not obligated to award the Planned Modification line item(s). Should the Government choose to award the Planned Modification, the line item will be awarded as a negotiated modification to the contract/task order. The Contractor's proposed HAR will be applied to all vendor/supplier costs for the FF&E and A/V.

f. If awarded, the FF&E and A/V modification will be awarded at least six months prior to the contract completion date. A minimum of six months is required for the Contractor to purchase, deliver and install the FF&E and A/V without impacting the overall completion date of the project. The Contractor's schedule must assume the award of the FF&E and A/V as a modification. No schedule extensions will be granted if the modification is awarded at least six months prior to the contract completion date. If the Government decides to negotiate and award the furniture modification with less than six months prior to the contract completion date, the Contractor may be entitled to a contract extension and extended field overhead. A contract extension and extended field overhead will only be granted in those cases where the Contractor demonstrates that an accepted Final FF&E and A/V package was submitted within the approved schedule deadlines and sufficient lead time for the FF&E and A/V is not available and the Government's award of the modification is in the last six months of the contract.

Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.

Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).

The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of ""identifiers"" that indicate whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local), a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate (weighted union average rate).

Union Rate Identifiers

A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than ""SU"" or ""UAVG"" denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:

PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union which prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1, 2014.

Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing this classification and rate.

Survey Rate Identifiers

Classifications listed under the ""SU"" identifier indicate that no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As this weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a new survey is conducted.

Union Average Rate Identifiers

Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate that no single majority rate prevailed for those classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010 08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is based.

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be:

* an existing published wage determination

* a survey underlying a wage determination

* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter

* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling

On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.)

and 3.) should be followed.

With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:

Branch of Construction Wage Determinations Wage and Hour Division U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party (those affected by the action) can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to:

Wage and Hour Administrator U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested party's position and by any information (wage payment data, project description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.

3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:

Administrative Review Board U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.
