Fixed furnishings (items that are fixed to the structure), such as drying cages, weapon racks, motorized projection screens, window coverings and lockers are not considered FF&E and are part of the construction contract, Structural Interior Design (SID).

FF&E will be fully integrated with the building systems and finishes.

FF&E is in the amount indicated in the PRICE PROPOSAL SCHEDULE. This amount does not include the Prime Contractor's Handling and Administration Rate

(HAR).

Furnishings, Fixtures, and Equipment (FF&E) exactly as designed and specified using NAVSUP Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs), General Services

Administration (GSA) schedules, and other Federal contracts and complying with priorities found in FAR Part 8.404.

The Government will provide separate funding for procurement and installation of the FF&E package. Construction funds will not be used. The

FF&E package provided will include shipping, freight, handling, and installation costs. Upon receipt of required funding, the Prime Contractor

Section 01 30 01.00 20 Page 2

Amendment No.0003 will be authorized by the Contracting Officer, as a planned modification to the construction contract, to procure and install all FF&E.

The FF&E planned modification will be awarded no later than nine months prior to the contract completion date. The Prime Contractor's schedule must include the award of the FF&E planned modification. If the Government does not award the FF&E planned modification within the stipulated time frame, the Prime Contractor may be entitled to a contract extension and extended field overhead.

Prime Contractor Handling and Administration Rate (HAR) can be up to, but not exceed, 5% for the handling and administration of the FF&E package. The

HAR will account for all administrative costs; overhead; bonding fees, if any; administration of subcontractors; profit; and any other costs associated with and related to the coordination and processing of the procurement and installation of the FF&E package.

1.3 PROCUREMENT AND INSTALLATION

The Prime Contractor must coordinate the FF&E installation with the building completion date.

The Prime Contractor may anticipate possible manufacturer price increases if order placement is delayed. It is recommended to order the FF&E product once the FF&E planned modification is awarded and funds are received to avoid incurring additional costs. Any costs incurred as a result of Prime

Contractor.

Contracting Officer citing the name of the furniture dealer(s) and other information to use when accessing the Federal Government supply sources.

Exemptions for certain State or Local taxes may be available to the Prime

1.3.5 Bonds

FAR 28.102-1(a) requires that performance and payment bonds be included in all construction contracts exceeding $150,000, except under the conditions listed. In addition, FAR 28.102-2(d) requires the Government to secure additional bond from the Prime Contractor for any contract price increases. Since the FF&E planned modification is not part of the original contract award, the Prime Contractor will not be required to secure bond for the FF&E package at the time the basic contract is awarded. Additional bonding may be required for the award of the FF&E line item at the time of the planned modification (see below).

In accordance with FAR 28.103, the contracting officer may determine that performance and payment bonds for other than construction are warranted and seek additional bond for the FF&E package. Should performance and payment bonds be determined necessary, the Contracting Officer will include this requirement in the solicitation, and is funded as part of the FF&E

1.3.6 Unique Item Identification (IUID) and Valuation

An item is a single article or a single unit formed by a grouping of subassemblies, components or constituent parts.
