The site visit is considered essential to the preparation of a complete and accurate proposal of the project desired by the DPW. The site visit memorandum shall be submitted with the Contractor’s proposal. Failure to visit the site and discuss the project requirements with the COR, shall not constitute an acceptable excuse for omissions or errors in proposals. The Contractor shall review the drawings, sketches, and any changes in the SOW that resulted from the site visit. The Contractor shall then prepare a proposal for the TO.

PROPOSALS

The Contractor shall prepare a detailed cost estimate using the approved RSMeans/e- Gordian. RSMeans/e-Gordian software shall be utilized for all applicable pricing under this contract. The Contractor shall purchase the most current RSMeans/e-Gordian software to support the contract requirements within seven (7) calendar days of contract award. The Contractor shall both always have the most current version of the software and databases.

Upon the Government’s request, the Contractor shall be prepared to provide a detailed breakdown of the proposal, to include all pricing documentation to demonstrate that it is fair and reasonable cost.

In the development of a price proposal, site visits will be considered as incidental to the work and included in the Contractor’s coefficient.

The Contractor shall submit proposals electronically and include a printout of all proposed RSMeans items, quantities, extended prices, and total proposed costs. Significant components of work and all Non-Pre-Priced (NPP) items shall be identified in the price proposal.

The Contractor’s proposal shall be supported by documentation and include, but not be limited to, product submittals, plans, special conditions, specifications, proposed completion period, name of the Project Manager (PM), and a copy of the initial RTOP form with notations on any agreed upon item changes. This will be incorporated in the final SOW to be issued with the TO and the TO proposal cost estimates which is comprised of the following three (3) sections:

a. Section 1, Division Summary: This section shall include the RSMeans/E-Gordian divisions, Trades, Assemblies, and NPP items. This section shall make up the Bare Total. No markups shall be applied at this level. The Contractor shall apply the City Cost Indexes (CCIs).

NPP items will be submitted with two (2) or more offerors, IAW 15.404-1(b)(2)(i) and 15.403-1(c)(1)(i)). The independent price vendor shall include line-item number, description, material, labor, and equipment breakdowns. The Contractor shall list the supplier names and telephone numbers for each NPP item

b. Section 2, Totaling Components: This section includes totaling components setup for all applicable markups, including Contractor coefficients. CCIs shall be applied.

c. Section 3, Line-item Estimate: This section shall include all line items. The report shall include a sequential Line-item number, Line-item description, full UPB item number, unit of measure, quantity, bare unit cost, and total amount (quantity multiplied by bare unit cost). The report will print: Pre-Priced line items by division for all UPB Pre-Priced line items found in the RSMeans/e-Gordian, with division breaks and division subtotals, and a listing of the Trades, Assemblies, and NPP items. CCIs shall be applied.

7.1 Contingency (RESERVED)

7.2 Cost Estimating Requirements

The Government-approved UPB for this contract shall be the sole source of Pre-Priced costs. Work tasks required for the completion of specific project requirements that are not considered part of the complete-in-place construction of the RSMeans/e-Gordian items or are not otherwise contained in the RSMeans/e-Gordian are called NPP and their use is defined herein. Any difference between actual prices and UPB pricing shall not constitute grounds for failure to perform nor shall be grounds for any equitable adjustments in the price for the TO.

7.2.1 What Is Included

Prices in RSMeans/e-Gordian will include the following: direct labor through the foreman level at current Davis-Bacon Act for the area, equipment costs for the region, tools and material costs including delivery, sales tax and all incidentals. Incidentals include, but are not limited to, nails, screws, welds, and connectors. All prices in RSMeans/e-Gordian are for complete-in-place construction unless explicitly described otherwise.

Since RSMeans/e-Gordian are constructed from averaging cost data from projects nationally, there is variance in incidental options or accessories provided by equipment Manufacturers and incorporated into the costs. Therefore, the Government reserves the right to require incidental options or accessories without additional cost, except where the required additions are spelled out as a modifier within RSMeans/e-Gordian.

7.3 Waste and Excess Quantities Included

All prices in RSMeans/e-Gordian are for the complete-in-place construction unless explicitly described otherwise. The unit prices include delivery of materials to the job site.

Waste or excess material quantities are incidental costs which are included within the contract coefficient unless explicitly stated otherwise in RSMeans/e-Gordian. Quantities used on TO proposals shall be for in place quantities taken from field measurements or design plans, as appropriate, without allowance for waste or incidental extra materials.

Incidental nails, screws, weldments, and connectors are included in RSMeans/e-Gordian line items. Unless a connector or fastener is specifically stated as not being included, it is included in the price. Example: Installation of a suspended ceiling grid system includes connectors, fasteners, and wire for the hanging system.

7.4 Vendor Clarifications

Any time clarifications are required regarding content or scope of a RSMeans/e-Gordian Line-item and the issue is not covered elsewhere in this contract, the KO will act as the sole liaison with the Vendor for obtaining the necessary clarifications.

7.5 Application – Specific Considerations

7.5.1 Demolition

Ancillary components attached to an affected item or equipment that is scheduled for demolition shall not be priced out separately unless the ancillary component must be removed to complete the TO. Line-item demolition includes all attached appurtenances and ancillary components attached to an affected item or equipment that is scheduled for demolition. 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 alone must be demolished. For example, demolition of a wood door includes hinges, hardware, closures, kick plates, etc., and removing pipe includes all in-line fittings and valves. Unless explicitly required in the SOW.

Demolition prices in RSMeans/e-Gordian shall cover the cost of removal and disposal of the items. Demolition shall include the removal of the item, handling, disassembly, loading in a truck or dumpster, and disposal of demolished items, whether salvageable or non-salvageable, unless specified otherwise by RSMeans/e-Gordian task. Unit prices for demolition exclude costs for hauling.

7.5.2 Assembly Pricing

Assembly pricing shall take precedence over individual component unit pricing.

7.5.3 Line-item Cost Adjustments

The only adjustment of price for the construction line items is the Contractor coefficient.

All prices in RSMeans/e-Gordian are for complete-in-place construction unless explicitly described otherwise. Incidental fasteners (nails, screws, weldments, adhesives or other connectors), incidental options, accessories, and small tools required for a normal installation are included in the line-item cost unless the Line-item description specifically states otherwise. Line-item prices include all work required unless the Line-item description specifically states otherwise. Equipment costs include normal operating expendables and servicing including routine parts. All Line-item prices are valid to perform the work described to a height up to fourteen (14) feet above finished floor or grade level without the allowance for scaffolding or lift equipment, unless the Line-item description specifically states otherwise. Testing, adjusting, balancing, and start-up of installed equipment (normal commissioning) and up to four (4) hours of familiarization training for operation and maintenance of that equipment, shall be included unless the Line-item description specifically states otherwise. Scaffolding, lifts, staging, etc. shall be allowed only on a TO basis (per job), not per subcontractor or discipline.

7.5.4 Price Adjustment Modifiers

RSMeans/e-Gordian incorporated in this contract contains unit pricing data to be used by the Contractor in development of price proposals for each TO. The pricing data is presented as basic items and as price adjustment modifiers to the basic item. Price adjustment modifiers provide a method for adding to or deducting from the basic item prices for optional materials, and methods of installation. One (1) or more modifiers can be utilized to adjust the basic item price as listed by the appropriate suffix number of the basic line item.

7.5.5 Non-Standard Work (Non-Pre-Priced)

Non-pre-priced (NPP) work is categorized as facilities construction activity that is not specifically included in RSMeans/e-Gordian, but is within the basic intent and general scope of the contract, requiring substantial adjustment due to material differences in factors from those typically encountered in the construction industry. Items of work not covered by this contract’s pre-priced items, but within the scope and general intent, may be negotiated by the KO and added to a TO at any time during the contract term. NPP items shall only be allowed if the Government deems an appropriate line item is not provided by the pre-priced RSMeans/e-Gordian. To permit recurrent use, a NPP item shall be incorporated by supplemental agreement into RSMeans/e-Gordian and may be done at any time during the contract period.

NPP work to be included in a TO shall be proposed by the Contractor in a format acceptable to the Government. NPP line items added to a TO shall be complete, including materials and labor and shall be for specific tasks, and not for general labor hours for example. NPP work or items shall be negotiated with the Pre-Priced items in the proposal at the negotiation meeting. Additional items may be added to the basic tasks defined in RSMeans/e-Gordian as new pre-priced items. If new pre-priced items are added, the prices will be in effect on the date of TO award.

7.5.6 Include Recurring NPP items to RSMeans/e-Gordian

The Contractor and the Government shall discuss material, labor, and equipment costs based on the unit of measure for an item. The Contractor shall justify costs with cost and pricing data (Vendor quotes, labor standards, etc.). This will be referred to as the bare cost of the NPP. Once the bare cost of the NPP item has been decided, the item can be added to a TO by adding the Contractor’s overhead costs for NPP items from the bid schedule or it may be modified into RSMeans/e-Gordian for use on all TOs. To be modified into RSMeans/e-Gordian, the bare cost must be economically adjusted to the date of the development of the RSMeans/e-Gordian and then must be adjusted to be consistent with the Contractor's coefficient.

The project shall not be executed under this contract if the value of the NPP work exceeds 10% of the Pre-Priced cost of the TO unless it’s determined by the KO to be a good business decision in the best interest of the Government IAW AFARS 5117.9004-3(c)(1).

TO cost and the NPP work shall not be considered incidental. Only NPP work that is incidental to Pre-Priced work shall be considered to be within the scope of this contract.

Incidental NPP will be discussed and established on a work item-by-work item basis. The Pre-Priced coefficient is not applied to NPP items. The NPP overhead and profit rate will be applied to the agreed to bare costs of NPP items after the bare costs of these items have been established.

7.5.7 NPP Contractor Material and Equipment Costs

The Contractor shall receive the cost of the material plus the applicable coefficient as a handling fee. Material costs may include freight but shall not include any other overhead or associated costs. Equipment costs may only be included if the equipment is used solely as a result of inclusion of the NPP item.

7.6 Coefficients

Coefficients are location-specific multiplier(s) developed and proposed by the Contractor, to be applied against the published UPB cost line items for the purpose of providing consideration to the Contractor. The Contractor shall factor in potential risks of inflation into the proposed coefficients.

Offerors shall provide indirect costs, NPP overhead and profit rate.

The Contractor’s negotiated coefficient schedule will be incorporated into the contract and utilized by the Government in determining the value of issued TOs throughout the life of the awarded contract.

The Contractor's price coefficient shall include all products within RSMeans/e-Gordian, including the following:

• Contractor's overhead and profit

• General and administrative and other overhead costs

• Bonding and alternative payment protection costs

• Protective clothing

• Subcontractors' overhead and profit

• Insurance

• Costs associated with bonding (specifically including bond premiums)

• Employee payroll taxes, insurance, and fringe benefits

• Business taxes, contributions, memberships, corporate

• Headquarters support (legal, financial, etc.)

• Waste and excess material

• Gross receipt and sales tax on material and equipment costs

• Clean up

• Mobilization and close out for the total contract and each TO

• Compliance with environmental laws (overhead {indirect} costs associated with performing work in compliance with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, including obtaining any necessary licenses and permits, reporting requirements, etc.)

• Compliance with protection and safety laws such as safety rails, face and clothing protection

• Close out for the total contract and each TO

• Traffic and work site signs and barriers

• Project management and supervision

• Protection of and moving of Government Property

• QC

• Office Management and equipment

• Depreciation of mobile office(s)

• Interest associated with funding of equipment and payroll

• Submittal preparation

• As built drawings

• Permits, licenses, and fees

• Other risks of doing business such as risk of a lower-than-expected contract dollar value, risk of a high inflation cost if factors are bid for option years, risk of poor subcontractor performance and re-performance

• UPB costs confidence to include issues regarding how the cost data are captured and the size and types of projects

• Contingencies

• Travel

• Depreciation of equipment or facilities

• Variances in subcontractor or worker availability

• Other local market conditions for each site not addressed by UPB location factors

• Other risks of doing business, acceptance testing, work-site security, etc.

7.7 Project Schedules

The Contractor shall prepare and submit a Project Schedule for approval, as specified in each TO. Schedules shall be provided at no additional cost to the Government. The schedule shall indicate all work activities, milestones, and clearly show the critical path of the job. The schedule shall include activities for submittal approval, as-built drawings, final clean up and inspection, correction of punch list items and final payroll submittal, and operation and maintenance manuals. The schedule shall indicate the sequence in which the Contractor proposes to perform the work and dates on which the Contractor proposes to start and complete all scheduled activities. The Contractor shall schedule the entire project from the award date. The Contractor shall use the approved project schedule to measure the progress of the work.

Revisions of the schedule shall be re-submitted with each modification proposal for approval. The revised TO schedule shall clearly reflect the added and/or deleted items of work; and reflect the increase or decrease in time required to execute the project and the modification. The Contractor shall immediately contact the KO for further direction if a Government Representative requests a change to the SOW.

Construction project schedules shall be submitted electronically. The Contractor shall provide an approved electronic version, readable without providing a copy of the software, to the KO and COR.

7.8 Time Extensions

Time extensions for TO modifications will be awarded if the additional work required by the modification delays on-going construction activities or if additional time is required to accomplish the added work requirements. Time shall not be extended to correct insufficient progress prior to the modification. (FAR 52.211-13, Time Extensions)

7.9 Weather Related Time Extensions

Time extensions may result from unusually severe weather for exterior projects. The KO may award a time extension only if the following conditions are satisfied:

a. The weather experienced at the project site during the contract period must be found to be unusually severe, that is, more severe than the adverse weather anticipated for the project location during any given month.

b. The unusually severe weather must cause a delay to the completion of the project. The delay must be beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor.

Unusually severe is defined as weather that is abnormal compared to the past weather at the same location for the same time of year. Since the weather causing the delay must be abnormal for the same time of year and location, the fact that a Contractor encounters even extremely harsh weather, which in fact prevents them from working, is alone insufficient for finding an excusable delay if such weather is normal for the contract site.

Adverse weather which at the time of year in which it occurred is unusual for the place in which it occurred. No matter how severe or destructive, if the weather is not unusual for the particular time and place, or if a Contractor should have reasonable anticipated it, the Contractor is not entitled to relief. A mere showing that there was rain, high wind velocity, or other unsettled weather conditions which interfered and prevented performance of work is not sufficient to bring those weather conditions within the meaning of the terms "unusually severe" weather.

7.9.1 Anticipated Weather Delays

Anticipated weather delays are typically based on National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) or similar data for the project location and shall constitute the base line for monthly weather evaluations as specified in the TO. The Contractor’s progress schedule shall reflect these anticipated adverse weather delays for weather-dependent activities.

7.10 Liquidated Damages

The Contractor shall pay liquidated damages to the Government if the Contractor fails to complete the work within the time specified. The amount to be paid by the Contractor shall be determined at the TO level for each calendar day of delay until the work is completed or accepted.

If the Government terminates the Contractor’s right to proceed, the resulting damage will consist of liquidated damages until such reasonable time as may be required for final completion of the work together with any increased costs the Government incurred to complete the work. (FAR 52.211-12, Liquidated Damages).

TASK ORDER DOCUMENTS

The Contractor’s proposal will be reviewed by the Government for accuracy and completeness. The Government will discuss all items with the Contractor. A TO will then be issued by the KO using DD Form 1155, Order for Supplies or Services.

Some circumstances such as change in work or funding priorities may prohibit the Government from issuing a TO after the receipt of the Contractor's proposal. If such circumstances arise, the Government shall not be obligated to reimburse the Contractor for any costs incurred in the preparation of the proposal. The Government reserves the right to cancel a proposed TO before or after receipt of the Contractor’s proposal.

All TOs are subject to the terms and conditions of this contract. In the event of a conflict between a TO and this contract, this contract shall prevail. If the Contractor is awarded multiple TOs, the work shall be completed concurrently unless otherwise specified in a

TO.
