[100% DRAFT – DD SPECIFICATIONS]

FOR

[WASO HOUSING PROTOTYPE UPDATE]

[INSERT PARK NAME]

[PMIS NO. ######]

Month ##, 202#

This 100% DRAFT Specification book is only for the building, with the specific project A/E adding in for all sitework related specifications

This DRAFT specification book includes BASELINE AND OPTIONS within all specification sections for the project team to use as needed for the final design. The specifications referenced as BASELINE are the initial recommended specifications for the projects. However, depending on site specific requirements each project can adjust the BASELINE or substitute for the OPTIONS as needed. Project will need to track those OPTION items used and be prepared to justify if overall project exceeds the budget.

Once all project applicable specifications are identified A/E must remove all unused specifications and remove all references to BASELINE & OPTIONS in the final 100% CD Specifications.

A/E is responsible to review, revise, and add to this DRAFT specification book as needed in all systems related to the specific project in developing the final project 100% CD Specifications. This includes all site and building specific requirements including but not limited to code requirements, NPS requirements, design requirements, sustainability requirements, structural requirements, MEP requirements, all sitework, etc. If the A/E does not understand their responsibility to the building and site-specific requirements prior to submitting their fee proposal they must notify to NPS in writing for clarity for understanding. NPS Housing Prototypes have no responsibility in providing any additional information other than plans and specifications provided.

1.3 MODIFICATION PROPOSAL PRICING REQUIREMENTS

A. General:

1. Your proposal must be received in the format and within the time frame specified in the Request for Proposal letter. Costs or delays resulting from failure of contractor to submit within the time frame specified will not be compensable.

2. The proposal must be detailed with itemized lists of equipment, materials, labor, production rates, overhead, profit, and bond markup for each item. Labor costs must be itemized by craft and hourly rate, including Fringe Benefits and Labor Burden. If the costs of Fringe Benefits and Labor Burden are not itemized, it is assumed that that they are included in the hourly rate shown, or contractor is not requesting reimbursement.

Contractor may utilize the government provided Contractor Estimate Form, or their http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Employee http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surety_bond http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insurance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank http://www.nps.gov/dscw/publicforms.htm#ct

own form, provided that it contains the same information and level of detail as the Gov’t provided form.

3. Requests for extensions of contract time as a result of this change must be justified with a Time Impact Analysis (TIA). Refer to Division 01 Specification, “Construction Schedule”, for time impact analysis requirements. TIA and associated costs must be received with the proposal by the date shown within the Request for Proposal letter.

Contractor’s failure to submit within the specified time frame will be construed as the Contractor waiving the right for additional time and no time extension will be allowed.

4. All supporting documentation used to justify the proposed modification will be made available to the Contracting Officer upon request.

5. Contractor must review and approve all subcontractor/supplier pricing in detail for proper format, scope, production rates, and pricing prior to submission to the NPS. All delay costs associated with not reviewing and approving subcontractor/supplier pricing will be borne by the Contractor.

6. All pricing and production rates within the estimate must be based on fair and reasonable pricing and cannot include built-in contingency.

B. Labor:

1. Contractor shall estimate the cost of labor by itemizing each craft involved, indicating worker hourly rate (base rate + labor burden + fringe benefits) for each and itemizing the hours required for each craft that will be directly engaged in modification work.

Any work proposed that will require overtime work or premium pay shall be itemized separately. All rates shall be in accordance with the Davis-Bacon Act as incorporated herein. Labor Burden may include payroll taxes, Social Security, unemployment insurances, workers compensation insurance, FICA, FUTA, and other direct costs resulting from Federal, State or local laws.

2. Itemize labor costs for equipment operators separate from equipment costs.

3. The labor cost for foremen shall only be costs for related work required for the modification.

C. Materials:

1. The estimated cost for materials shall include quotes from multiple sources. Material prices must include all applicable fees and credits, including but not limited to, sales tax, freight and delivery charges, and tax rebates.

2. No markup shall be applied to any material provided by the NPS.

D. Equipment:

1. Equipment used for the project must be appropriately sized for the work being performed.

2. Do not include costs for “miscellaneous tools and equipment”, in your proposal for a replacement value of $500 or less. Costs shown in excess of $500 must be broken out separately.

3. Regardless of ownership, the rates to be used in determining equipment rental costs shall be the lowest cost from one of the following sources:

a. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers , Ownership and Operating Expense Schedule (use latest edition and applicable region)

b. Construction Blue Book

XXXX - 111111 01 26 01 - 5

c. Local equipment rental rates, documented by actual invoice charges, or itemized vendor quotes.

4. The estimated equipment rates shall include the operating costs of all fuel, oil, lubrication, supplies, small tools, necessary attachments, ground engaging components, tires & tracks, routine repairs and maintenance (cost of major repair and overhaul is not allowed per FAR 31.105(d)(2)), depreciation, storage, insurance, and all incidentals.

Mobilization, if applicable, may be included for equipment solely used on the modification work but must be listed separately.

5. Estimate the full rate for equipment only for the duration that the equipment will be utilized to accomplish the work of the modification.

6. Standby unit rates used are to be in accordance with paragraph 1.3, D, 2, above. If the US Army Corp of Engineers is utilized then their standby rates prevail. If Bluebook or local equipment pricing is accepted, then ½ of the equipment costs minus any operating costs, major repair and overhaul will be accepted.

7. If equipment is in standby mode due solely to a documented NPS delay, the established standby rate shall apply from the first day of the delay.

8. Equipment that is not used and on the jobsite for up to five consecutive days may be classified at standby rates, provided that the equipment is or has been used solely to perform work on the modification and will be necessary to complete additional modification work. Equipment that is still on the jobsite but not in use after five consecutive days will not be considered in the modification pricing.

9. Requests for compensation for equipment stand by time must be justified, documented and itemized separately.

10. The estimated timeframe (daily, weekly, monthly) for use of the equipment must reflect the lowest cost to the Government.

E. Establishment and Application of Overhead and Profit Percentages:

Utilize the Profit Calculator to generate the allowable maximum rate for Profit on self-performed work.

Insert the result below where indicated by the red X.XX%. Work collaboratively with the COR to produce the draft Profit Calculator for Design Development (DD) submission. Denver Service Center Contracting Services division will approve the final number. Submit completed Profit Calculator with the DD submission.

1. Home Office Overhead and Profit (OH&P) shall be applied to direct costs only. Profit shall not be applied to overhead amounts; and overhead shall not be applied to profit.

Home office overhead shall contain only allowable, allocable, and reasonable costs per the contract documents and FAR Part 31. Profit percentages are based on risk factors found in FAR Part 31which have been applied to the specific type of work included in this project. Negotiated rates shall not exceed the following percentages for OH&P for contractor self-performed work:

Overhead………………10% Profit………………X.XX%

2. Total aggregate limit of markup (OH&P) for contractor and subcontractors on modification work shall not exceed 25%. The NPS will not be responsible for allocation of percentages between contractor and subcontractors at any tier.

3. If contractors form a partnership, than the partnership may only receive home office overhead and profit in the same amount as an individual contractor (refer to par 1.3,E,1 above). It is the responsibility of the partners to decide on the division of revenue.
