PRICE VARIATIONS:

Contractors may experience direct costs that are different than the unit prices set forth in the CTC.

While diligent effort was made to provide accurate, unit prices, it is the Contractor’s responsibility to review and analyze the unit prices, and to calculate, prior to bidding, the Adjustment Factors accordingly.

Contractors may experience differences in decimal rounding on unit prices that may vary from unit prices set forth in the CTC.

SUMMARY:

This list is not exhaustive and is intended to provide general examples of costs to be included in the Contractor's Adjustment Factors.

The only compensation to be paid to the Contractor for Tasks will be:

Unit Price X Quantity X Adjustment Factor

No additional payments of any kind whatsoever will be made.

All costs in excess of the unit prices, must be included in the Adjustment Factors.

General Rules:

Unit prices are for complete and in-place construction and include all labor, equipment and material required to complete the Task as described in the CTC.

Orange County Public Works Facilities Page 00 - 3

All labor, material, equipment, spare parts, and documents required by a Technical Specification shall be considered included in the unit price, unless the Task description states otherwise.

If the Contractor uses a crane or other lifting equipment (except a truck mounted boom lift or other equipment as part of the delivery process) to lift material onto a roof, even if that roof is less than 2 stories, the Contractor will be paid for such crane or lifting equipment as a separate Task.

Unit prices include all fasteners such as anchor bolts, lag bolts, screws, adhesive, wedge anchors, expansion bolts, roofing clips (excluding hurricane clips) required. Fasteners listed separately in the CTC are for use with Owner furnished material and equipment or for relocating or reinstalling existing material and equipment.

Unit prices exclude more substantial mounting material such as threaded rod or angle iron unless the Task description states otherwise.

Unit prices for doors and windows, duct work, plumbing fixtures, seamless floors, countertops, roof flashing, pitch pockets, skylights, roof curbs, exterior trim, etc. include sealant and caulking.

Unit prices include testing, calibrating, balancing, start-up services and the like required to ensure proper installation, construction and performance of the work (e.g. compaction test for backfill, balancing of heating ventilation and air conditioning, pneumatic or hydrostatic testing, soaping of joints, disinfection and flushing of water lines, etc.).

Contractor may be paid for testing, calibrating, balancing, start-up services and the like for Owner supplied materials and equipment, or when working on or tying into existing materials and equipment.

For the purpose of calculating the quantity of a Task, quantities are calculated on a per project basis. The quantity so determined shall be used for the Task and all appropriate modifiers, unless the Task states otherwise.

Whenever there are alternative Tasks that may be selected to complete work, the Contractor shall select the most practical and economical Tasks available (e.g. rental of equipment by weeks or months rather than days, or painting by roller or spray rather than brush).

DEMOLITION:

Unit prices for demolition include all labor, equipment and material required for the complete removal of the items; clean-up of the area; and transporting the demolished items up or down 2 stories into a truck, dumpster, or to an Owner designated area, located within 125' of the project site.

Unit prices for demolition exclude costs for hauling (See 01741900), dump fees (See 01741900), dumpsters (See 01741900), and trash chutes (See 01741900).

If the item being demolished is attached to another item being removed and can be removed as one item, then that item shall not be priced as a separate demolition Task, unless the component must be demolished separately to accomplish the work (e.g. demolition of pipe includes pipe fittings unless the fitting must be demolished separately to accomplish the work; demolition of a wood door includes hinges, hardware, closures, kick plates, etc.).

The word "replace" includes removal of the existing item and installation of the new item.

The words "remove and relocate" or "remove and reinstall" include removal, cleaning, and installation of the existing item in either the same location or another location.

Salvageable materials are the property of the Owner and shall, if directed, be turned over to the Owner.

WORKING HEIGHT:

Typical working height for work other than masonry is up to 14' above the finished floor or stationary working surface. The Contractor will not be paid for scaffolding, lifts, or similar equipment for work below 14'.

Typical working height for masonry work is up to 4' above the finished floor or stationary working surface. The Contractor will not be paid for

Page 00 - 4 Orange County Public Works Facilities scaffolding, lifts, or similar equipment for masonry work below 4'.

FIELD ENGINEERING:

Surveying Tasks shall be used only when the

Owner requests the Contractor to perform topographic surveys, property line surveys or to establish horizontal and vertical control points. If the Owner provides horizontal and vertical control points within or adjacent to the project site, all other surveying required to complete the work shall be considered construction staking or layout, and the cost thereof is included in the appropriate Tasks.

ASSEMBLIES:

Assembly Tasks take precedence over individual component Tasks.

RESTRICTED AND CONFINED SPACES:

Restricted Working Space is defined as any area with less than 3' vertical or horizontal clearance and includes areas such as crawl spaces, ceiling plenums where the grid is not removed, narrow piping tunnels, and equipment rooms where the space to install the new work is congested as a result of equipment and piping placement that meet these dimensional restrictions. A Restricted Working Space modifier is available for certain mechanical piping and piping accessories Tasks and for certain electrical conduit and conduit accessories Tasks. Only those Tasks with a modifier for Restricted Working Space are eligible for a price adjustment, and then only if the modifier applies to the contemplated Tasks. A Non- Prepriced Task will not be allowed because of Restricted Working Space for any Task.

The Code of Federal Regulations (29 CFR part 1926, Subpart AA) define confined spaces and permit-required confined spaces for construction and set forth requirements, procedures and safety precautions for working in such spaces. If the Contractor must work in a confined space or a permit-required confined space and must provide ventilation equipment, air monitoring equipment and services, entry attendants, entry supervisors, site-specific training for workers, or other equipment and services required by the regulations, then the Contractor shall be paid for such equipment, services and training. Those costs shall not be included in the Adjustment Factors.

Or Equals:

Whenever material, products, or equipment is identified in the CTC, or in the Technical Specifications, by reference to a manufacturer’s name, make or model number, the identification is intended to establish a standard. Any material, product, or equipment of another manufacturer may be considered an or-equal provided that, in the opinion of the Owner, the material, product, or equipment so proposed is of equal quality, substance and function to the named item. The Contractor shall not install any proposed material, product, or equipment without the prior written approval of the Owner. The burden of proof, and all costs related thereto, concerning whether the proposed material, product, or equipment is an or-equal, shall be borne by the Contractor.
