II.A. Basis of Pricing

(1) Contract Prices. All Contract prices set forth in this Section include all costs necessary to complete the work for which the price is established (e.g., Base Contract, Unit Price, Options) in accordance with the Contract Documents, including, but not limited to, the cost of work performed by subcontractors and consultants, indirect costs, fees, expenses, taxes, and profit.

(2) Knowledge of Conditions Affecting Price. FAR 52.236-3, Site Investigations and Conditions Affecting the Work, is incorporated by reference in this Contract. The Contractor shall be presumed to have established all prices with knowledge of general and local conditions that may affect the cost of Contract performance at the site where the Work is to be performed, to the extent that such information is reasonably obtainable.

(3) Unit Prices and Allowances. If any portion of the Work is to be performed on a unit price basis, the Unit Price shall include all costs of coordinating and incorporating the unit-priced portion of the Work into the Base Contract Work. The Contractor shall only be obligated to perform unit-priced work to the extent that an Allowance has been established. The Contractor shall be obligated to perform such work in excess of a unit quantity for which an Allowance is established only if directed by the Contracting Officer in writing. The Contractor shall be bound to the unit price or prices set forth herein in all equitable adjustments for changes including unit priced work, and no markups shall be applied to such unit prices.

II.B. Contract Price Form

Price proposal is to be submitted using box 17 of the Standard Form (SF) 1442. Offeror may submit an additional price sheet to demonstrate the proposal’s cost breakdown as needed.

FAR 52.211-10, Commencement, Prosecution, and Completion of Work and GSAR 552.211-10, Commencement, Prosecution and Completion of Work is supplemented as follows:

The Contractor shall diligently prosecute the Work so as to achieve Substantial Completion of the Work, as defined in GSAR 552.211-70 Substantial Completion (Mar 2019) and the time specified in Section I (Project Information), “Period of Performance” clause. If the Contract specifies different completion dates for different phases or portions of the Work, the Contractor shall diligently prosecute the Work so as to achieve Substantial Completion of such phases or portions of the Work within the times specified.

III.B. Contractor Responsibilities

GSAR 552.236-71, Contractor Responsibilities is located in Section IV.A. of this Agreement and is supplemented as follows:

(1) The Contractor shall secure and pay for all necessary permits and governmental fees, licenses, and inspections that are customarily secured after award of the Contract and that are legally required at the time of award. The Contractor shall provide a copy of the permits required for execution of the work to the Contracting Officer prior to commencement of any related work.

(The Agreement)

III.C. Material and Workmanship

All equipment, material, and articles incorporated into the Work shall be new and of the most suitable grade for the purpose intended, unless otherwise specified in this Contract. References in the specifications to equipment, material, articles, or patented processes by trade name, make, or catalog number shall be regarded as establishing a standard of quality and performance and shall not be construed as limiting competition. Unless specifically directed by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor may use any equipment, material, article, or process that is equal to that named in the specifications, so long as it is of comparable quality and meets specified characteristics, or, if no such characteristics are specified, the relevant performance characteristics of the specified item.

III.D. Project Schedule

(1) The Project Schedule shall be a rational, reasonable and realistic plan for completing the Work, and conform to requirements specified in this clause and elsewhere in this Contract.

(2) The Contractor understands and acknowledges that the preparation and proper management of the Project Schedule is a material component of the Work, and that the Contract price includes all costs of compliance with Project Schedule requirements.

(3) The Project Schedule shall depict all major activities necessary to complete the Work.

(4) Prior to NTP, the Contractor shall submit its Project Schedule to the Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall submit the Project Schedule in PDF and hardcopy print format.

(5) The Project Schedule shall incorporate both major tasks as well as milestone events specified in the Contract, including, as applicable, NTP, Substantial Completion, and milestones related to specified work phases and site restrictions. The Project Schedule shall also include Contractor-defined milestones to identify target dates for critical events, based upon the Contractor's chosen sequence of work and be linked to the tasks that drive those milestones.

(6) Unless a shorter period for updates is specified elsewhere, the Contractor shall update the Project Schedule weekly to reflect its actual progress in completing the Work, and submit the updated Project Schedule to the Contracting Officer.

(7) If the Contractor revises the Project Schedule after initial submission, the Contractor shall provide in writing to the Contracting Officer a narrative describing the substance of the revision, the rationale for the revision, and the impact of the revision on the projected substantial completion date.

(8) If at any time the Contracting Officer finds that the Project Schedule does not comply with any Contract requirement, the Contractor shall, upon written notice of exceptions taken by the Contracting Officer, revise the Project Schedule, adjust activity progress, or provide sufficient information demonstrating compliance.

(9) If the Contractor fails to sufficiently address the Contracting Officer's exceptions to the Project Schedule within five calendar days of written notice of the same, the Contracting Officer may withhold retainage until the Project is Substantially Complete or until such time as the Contractor has complied with Project Schedule requirements.

(The Agreement)

(10) The Contracting Officer shall be entitled, but not required, to rely upon the Project Schedule to evaluate the Contractor's progress, evaluate entitlement to extensions of time, and determine the criticality or float of any activities described in such Project Schedule.

III.E. Interpretation of Specifications and Drawings

(1) The specifications and drawings shall be interpreted to complement each other.

Requirements set forth in the specifications and not shown on the drawings, or shown on the drawings and not set forth in the specifications, shall be of like effect as if shown or set forth in both.

(2) Different requirements within the Contract Documents shall be deemed inconsistent only if compliance with both cannot be achieved.

(3) If a requirement set forth in one location is more restrictive than that set forth elsewhere in the Contract Documents, requirements set forth in specifications shall govern over requirements set forth in drawings; otherwise, the more restrictive shall govern.

(4) In case of inconsistent requirements within the drawings, the following order of precedence shall apply:

(a) Requirements indicated in large-scale drawings shall govern over inconsistent requirements indicated in small-scale drawings.

(b) Requirements indicated in schedules shall govern over inconsistent information shown in drawings.

(5) Unless otherwise noted, the drawings shall be interpreted to provide for a complete construction, assembly, or installation of the Work, without regard to the detail with which material components are shown in the drawings.

(6) If any inconsistency within the drawings or specifications cannot be reconciled by reference to this clause, the Contractor shall promptly request a determination from the Contracting Officer as to which requirement shall govern. Election by the Contractor to follow either requirement without a determination from the Contracting Officer shall be at the Contractor's risk; should the Contracting Officer subsequently determine that the requirement not followed by the Contractor governs, the Contractor shall be responsible for all cost and time required to comply with the Contracting Officer's determination.

III.F. Submittals

(1) The Contractor shall prepare and submit to the Contracting Officer shop drawings, samples, calculations, product information, mockups, and other submittals (collectively, "submittals") demonstrating compliance with Contract requirements for all Work components as specified elsewhere in this Contract. If particular submittal requirements are not specified for a component of the Work, the Contractor shall prepare submittals for such Work as directed by the Contracting Officer.

(2) Prior to submission, the Contractor shall review all submittals for accuracy, completeness, compliance with Contract requirements, and coordination between different trades and subcontractors. The Contractor shall indicate its approval on all submittals as evidence of such

(The Agreement) review and coordination. Submittals submitted to the Contracting Officer without evidence of the Contractor’s approval may be rejected without further review.

(3) The Contractor shall not proceed with work or procure products or materials described or shown in submittals until the Contracting Officer has indicated approval of the submittal. If the Contracting Officer disapproves of a submittal, the Contractor shall be entitled to an explanation of the reasons for disapproval.

Any work or activity undertaken prior to approval shall be at the Contractor’s risk; should the Contracting Officer subsequently determine that the work or activity does not comply with the Contract, the Contractor shall…
