SUMMARY OF WORK

SECTION 01 11 00 - SUMMARY OF WORK

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

A. This Section includes the following:

1. Work covered by the Contract Documents.

2. Government Furnished Materials.

3. Contractor use of premises.

4. Public use of site.

5. Occupancy requirements for buildings.

6. Work Restrictions.

7. Special Construction Requirements.

8. Soils Investigation Report.

9. Additional Reports.

1.2 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

A. Project Location: The project is located within the Flight 93 National Memorial, which is in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, 20 miles northeast of Somerset and 15 miles west of Johnstown, off Highway 30. The project site is located adjacent to the park entrance.

B. The Work consists of the following:

1. The Work includes the construction of a new entry feature, a tower supporting wind chimes with associated landscape development.

2. The initial phase of this Project will be the construction of the Tower mound. Contractor is required to prepare the affected site area and construct the Tower mound fill as the first phase of the project. Construction of the Tower mound fill area will be required to be completed in the Fall of 2017 to allow the fill mound surcharge load to rest for several months prior to the construction of the remaining site improvements and tower construction to commence in the Spring of 2018. The time period for mound settlement monitoring is undetermined and will depend on measurements taken of settlement monitoring monuments and the apparent completion of settlement of the subgrade, as delineated via evaluation by the Contracting Officer. Prior to initiating any earth disturbance activities on the site, the required erosion and sedimentation control measures must be installed and properly maintained, refer to Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan and Details.

a. Proper preparation of the subgrade and placement of the mound fill is critical and will be closely monitored. Refer to the attached "Geotechnical Engineering Investigation" report prepared by Garvin Boward Beitko dated September 9, 2016.

Contractor will have the option to utilize available stockpiled fill material located on the Flight 93 National Memorial site, or provide their own suitable fill/backfill material from an approved borrow site. The on-site soil stockpile is located near the Headquarters Building, approximately one mile from the Tower of Voices site.

Preliminary testing of the stockpile fill materials has revealed that it is suitable for use as fill, however, due to the fact that these soils contain concentrations of silts

FLNI 200729B 01 11 00 - 2

and clays, they are sensitive to moisture increases making them difficult or impossible to properly compact. Further, as the preliminary testing of the stockpiled materials was based on relatively surficial samples and is not considered conclusive or applicable to the entire volume of the stockpiles, the type, composition, character, water content, and suitability of the stockpiled materials will likely vary with excavation of them. Some stockpiled material may be deemed, classified or specified as unsuitable and shall not be used as fill or backfill by the Contractor. Use of the available stockpiled fill material is solely at the Contractor's risk, and shall be undertaken at no additional cost to NPS.

C. Project will be constructed under a single prime contract.

1.3 GOVERNMENT-FURNISHED MATERIALS

A. Government will furnish products indicated.

1. Government will arrange and pay for delivery of Government-furnished items according to Contractor’s Construction Schedule, unless noted.

2. After delivery, Government will inspect delivered items for damage. Contractor shall be present for and assist in Government’s inspection.

3. If Government-furnished items are damaged, defective or missing, Government will arrange for replacement.

4. Contractor is responsible for receiving, unloading and handling Government-furnished items at Project site.

5. Contractor shall be responsible for protecting Government-furnished items from damage during storage and handling, including damage from exposure to the elements.

Lighting at no cost to the project. Immediately upon receipt of the fixtures, the Contractor will conduct a thorough inspection of the fixtures to verify their condition.

Damaged fixtures will be replaced by Musco Lighting at no cost to the project. Once satisfied that all fixtures are in good condition, the Contractor shall assume full responsibility for the fixtures including coordinating the timely delivery of the fixtures to the project site and the installation of all fixtures in the work.

2. Chime assemblies.

3. Topsoil where stockpiled in the Park. Contractor is responsible for transporting to the

Project site.

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 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).

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.

FLNI 200729B 01 26 01 - 5

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.

Negotiated rates shall not exceed the following percentages for OH&P for Contractor self-performed work:

Overhead………………10%

Profit…………………6.75%

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.

4. Combined Increases and Decreases: On proposals involving both increases and decreases in the Contract Price, the overhead and profit mark-ups are required on the net increases and deducted on net decreases.

5. At no time can profit be calculated on Overhead or itself, it must be calculated on direct costs of work only.
