PRICE PROPOSAL FORM

Provide line item prices, where indicated by blank underlines, for the following items:

For CLIN 0001C, undercut and replacement of geotechnically unsuitable subgrade: Unit price for all work in connection with the undercut of geotechnically unsuitable soil (e.g. soft subgrade soils) not identified in the Contract Documents, and replacement with imported select material. Unsuitable soil determinations will be confirmed by the Government Geotechnical Engineer and approved by the Contracting Officer. The price shall include removal of geotechnically unsuitable soils encountered at planned subgrade elevations within planned excavation limits after proper completion of work specified, and backfilling the excavation with compacted imported select material. Soils disturbed by Contractor's construction activities, or that are excessively wet or soft due to lack of proper site maintenance, lack of proper site drainage, or lack of proper dewatering, will not be considered unsuitable. The volume of material removed and imported backfill required shall be determined based on field measurements (length x width x depth) of the completed excavation to remove the unsuitable soil, and approved by the Contracting Officer. Work under this line item will not proceed without prior field verification and written approval from the Contracting Officer.

For CLIN 0001D, demolition, excavation and disposal of buried structures, pipes and debris: Unit price for providing demolition and excavation of buried structures, pipes and debris, including creosote treated timber, 1 cubic yard and larger in size that is encountered within planned excavation limits and not identified in the Contract Documents for demolition. Structures, pipes and pieces of buried debris, including creosote treated timber, smaller than 1 cubic yard in size encountered within planned excavation limits will be considered incidental to the work. Unit price shall include removal and disposal at an off-site licensed disposal facility that is permitted to receive creosote treated and inert, non-hazardous material. Unit price shall include handling and transportation. Backfill of any over excavation beyond planned excavation required to be made for removal will be paid for separately using Line Item 1C. The volume of material removed will be determined based on certified truck scale measurement (tons) of material disposed at the receiving facility, and approved by the Contracting Officer. Work under this CLIN will not proceed without prior field verification and written approval from the Contracting Officer.

For CLIN 0001E, removal and disposal of all excavated soil. All excavated soil is considered non-hazardous contaminated soil media: Unit price for providing all work in connection with handling, storage, sampling, analysis, transportation, treatment and disposal of non-hazardous contaminated soil media encountered within the limits of planned excavations. Sampling and testing shall be performed in accordance with Specification Section 01 57 19.01 20, and must include any other analyses required by the Contractor’s selected treatment/disposal facility. Unit price shall include all work in connection with evaluation and handling, any necessary storage, stockpiling and related storage maintenance and transportation, and delivery to a permitted licensed treatment/disposal facility. Removal and disposal under this Line Item is limited to planned excavations and approved excavation to remove geotechnically unsuitable subgrade. Any other over-excavation to remove contaminated soil media is prohibited. The volume of material removed will be determined based on certified truck scale measurement (tons) of material disposed at the receiving facility, and approved by the Contracting Officer. Work under this Line Item will not proceed without prior field verification and written approval from the Contracting Officer.

For CLIN 0001F: removal and disposal of asbestos containing pipe insulation within the existing building: Unit price for providing all work in connection with sampling, removal, and disposal of asbestos containing pipe insulation within the existing building. Pipe insulation and pipe fitting insulation in the building tested negative for asbestos content. However, if suspect pipe insulation or pipe fitting insulation is encountered in concealed spaces the contractor must stop work in the area until the material is properly identified (sampled) and addressed. The Contracting Officer and Government Environmental Design Specialist must be notified prior to sampling the pipe insulation/pipe fitting insulation. The quantity will be determined based on field measurements that are agreed upon by the Contracting Officer, Government Environmental Design Specialist, and the Contractor. Work from this line item will not proceed without prior field verification and written approval from the Contracting Officer.

For CLIN 0001G: removal and disposal of buried asbestos containing pipe insulation: Unit price for providing all work in connection with sampling, removal, and disposal of buried asbestos containing pipe insulation. Pipe insulation and pipe fitting insulation in the building tested negative for asbestos content. However, if suspect pipe insulation or pipe fitting insulation is encountered during excavation the contractor must stop work in the area until the material is properly identified (sampled) and addressed. The Contracting Officer and Government Environmental Design Specialist must be notified prior to sampling the pipe insulation/pipe fitting insulation. The quantity will be determined based on field measurements that are agreed upon by the Contracting Officer, Government Environmental Design Specialist, Installation asbestos manager, and the Contractor. Work from this line item will not proceed without prior field verification and written approval from the Contracting Officer.

Total FF&E Estimated Price

GENERAL BID NOTES

a) Award will be made on the price proposed for CLIN 0001 and all Options. CLIN 0001 consists of Contract Line Items 0001A, and 0001B, as well as the sum of the extended prices for Contract Line Items 0001C, 0001D, 0001E, 0001F, 0001G, 0001H, 0001I, 0001J, 0001K, 001L, and 0001M. For CLINs 0001C thru 0001M, 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) 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).

c) 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.

d) Failure to enter a price for any CLIN will result in a proposal being rejected.

e) The Government reserves the unilateral right to award CLINs 0002, 0003, 0004 to the Contractor at the proposed price within 90 calendar days after the contract award. A firm fixed proposed price is required for CLINs 0001, 0002, 0003, 0004. The Contract Completion Date (CCD) does not change if any or all the bid options are awarded.

f) If CLINs 0002, 0003, 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 FFE CLIN 0004.

a. The estimated amount for FF&E 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 Estimate is only an estimated amount.

b. If awarded, line items will be funded separately after completion of FF&E design package review by the Government, and receipt of appropriate funding by the Government.

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 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. 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. 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 the FFE, the line item will be awarded as a negotiated option to the contract/task order. The Contractor's proposed HAR will be applied to all vendor/supplier costs for the FF&E.

f. If awarded, the FF&E 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 without impacting the overall completion date of the project. The Contractor's schedule must assume the award of the FF&E as an option. No schedule extensions will be granted if the option 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 packages were submitted within the approved schedule deadlines and sufficient lead time for the FF&E is not available and the Government's award of the option is in the last six months of the contract.
