Unsuitable subgrade soil determinations shall be made by the Government Geotechnical Engineer and approved by the Contracting Officer. The price shall include removal of geotechnically unsuitable soils encountered at the planned footing subgrades or identified during proofrolling of planned subgrades, disposal at the specified disposal facility, and backfilling the excavation with compacted imported structural backfill or imported aggregate. Soils disturbed by the contractor’s construction activities, or that are excessively wet and soft due to lack of proper site maintenance and protection measures, and lack of specified drainage or excavation dewatering will not be considered unsuitable. Unit price shall include all handling and transportation. The volume of material removed and imported backfill required shall be neat quantities determined based on field measurements (length x width x depth) of the completed excavation to remove the unsuitable soil as approved by the Contracting Officer. Any work under this CLIN will not proceed without prior written approval of the Contracting Officer and direction of the Government Geotechnical Engineer.

For 1F: Unit price for providing demolition and excavation of buried concrete and debris that is encountered within planned excavation limits and not identified in the Contract Documents for demolition, greater than 1 cubic yard in size. Buried concrete and debris meeting the specified criteria must be field verified by the Contracting Officer prior to removal and must be segregated from the surrounding soil during demolition and excavation operations. Pieces of buried concrete and debris encountered within the planned excavation limits smaller than 1 cubic yard in size shall be considered to be incidental to the work (i.e., at no cost to the Government). Unit price shall include all work in connection with buried concrete and debris removal and disposal and replacement with clean imported structural backfill or other material specified. Unit price shall include removal and disposal of buried concrete and debris encountered within planned excavations at a permitted licensed disposal facility and backfilling the excavation with compacted clean imported structural backfill or other material specified. Unit price shall include handling and transportation. The volume of buried concrete and debris removed will be based on approved truck scale measurement and the quantity must be approved by the Contracting Officer. Any work under this CLIN will not proceed without prior written approval and field verification from the Contracting Officer.

For 1G: Unit price for providing all work in connection with excavation, handling, storage, sampling, analysis, transportation, any necessary treatment and disposal of non-hazardous contaminated soil media at a permitted licensed facility.

GENERAL BID NOTES

a. Award will be made on the total sum of Contract Line Item (CLIN) 0001, 0002, 0003 and 0004; and the extended total under Contract Line item 1E, 1F, 1G and 4. For CLIN 1E, 1F, 1G, and 4, enter unit price and extended total in space 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, CLIN 0003, and CLIN 0004 to the Contractor at the proposed price within 60 calendar days after the contract award. A firm fixed proposed price is required for CLIN 0001, CLIN 0002, CLIN 0003, and CLIN 0004. No provision is made for economic price adjustment. If Options are exercised, the contract completion date remains 1,110 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, CLIN 0003, and CLIN 0004 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.

OPTION BID NOTES

THESE NOTES APPLY TO OPTIONS 4 AND 5 (CLINS 0005 AND 0006) ONLY.

a. The estimated amount for FF&E and AV 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 including freight and installation charges. The Government FF&E and AV Estimate is only an estimated amount.

b. If awarded, line items will be funded separately after completion of FF&E and AV design package review by the Government, and receipt of appropriate funding by the Government. Requirements and details are provided in E20, FURNISHINGS and E10, EQUIPMENT.

c. Bonding

i. No Bonding for FF&E at Time of Construction Contract Award

FAR 28.102-1(a) requires that performance and payment bonds be included in all construction contracts exceeding the SAT, except under the conditions listed. Since the FF&E Option Item is not part of the original contract award, the Construction Contractor must not be required to secure bond for the FF&E at the time the basic contract is awarded.

ii. Additional Bond at FF&E Option Item Award

FAR 28.102-2(d) requires the Government to secure additional bond from the Construction Contractor for any contract price increases. Therefore, an increase to the original contract bond is required at the time of the FF&E Option Item award, to protect the Government against the Construction Contractor not providing FF&E ordered and to ensure that the FF&E vendor(s) receive payment if the Construction Contractor goes out of business. The increased cost of the bond must come from the FF&E funding source and is not a part of the Construction Contractor’s HAR.

iii. Bonds Required by the Construction Contractor

If the Construction Contractor requires bonding from the FF&E subcontractor(s), the cost must be covered in the Construction Contractor’s HAR.

d. Offerors may propose a Handling and Administration Rate (HAR) for the FF&E and AV 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 AV. 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 AV. The proposed HAR is a fixed rate.

e. The Government is not obligated to award the Option line item(s). Should the Government choose to award Option 4 and/or Option 5, 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 AV.

f. If awarded, the FF&E and AV 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 AV without impacting the overall completion date of the project. The Contractor's schedule must assume the award of the FF&E and AV 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 contact 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 AV packages were submitted within the approved schedule deadlines and sufficient lead time for the FF&E and AV is not available and the Government's award of the modification is in the last six months of the contract.

g. The Contractor and the Contractor's Interior Designer must strictly adhere to the FF&E submittal schedule defined prior to the 35% design development to ensure that the final FF&E package endorsement is completed at least 9 months prior to Beneficial Occupancy Date (BOD). If projected final FF&E package endorsement date falls between 15 July and 15 November, then endorsement must occur no later than 10 July for any given calendar year.

h. The Contractor and the Contractor's Interior Designer must strictly adhere to the A/V submittal schedule defined prior to the 35% design development to ensure that the final A/V package endorsement is completed at least 12 months prior to Beneficial Occupancy Date (BOD). If projected final A/V package endorsement date falls between 15 July and 15 November, then endorsement must occur no later than 10 July for any given calendar year.
