CONTRACT DESCRIPTION

This is a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Job Order Contracting (JOC) contract for construction work as defined under NAICS 236220.

OBJECTIVE

This contract is for a broad range of real property repair and construction work at USAG Dugway Proving Ground. Potential projects include, but are not limited to, administrative facilities, maintenance shops, child development centers, physical fitness centers, maintenance shops, food service facilities, airfield structures, patching and repair of pavement incidental to other work, athletic fields, underground utilities, overhead utilities, gates, warehouses, and auditoriums. Projects may include fire sprinkler systems, pre-engineered buildings, testing, studies, surveys, and abatement for lead-based paint (LBP) or asbestos containing materials (ACM) incidental to the work. Task Orders will not be awarded for the sole purpose of ACM, LBP, or mold mitigation. Facility repairs, renovations, and construction shall conform to the requirements of the technical criteria described in the task order (TO).

The Contractor will furnish on-site site work as required per the line item in the Unit Price Book (UPB). The Contractor will use an electronic cost planning software with RS Means cost data as the UPB. The Contractor will provide record drawings which conform to the electronic computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) software currently utilized by the Directorate of Public Works (DPW). The Contractor will perform work in accordance with (IAW) local policies, local and national codes, and industry and trade organization standards.

The services covered by this contract are for real property repair and construction.

Construction and repair include, but are not limited to, the following systems and disciplines:

Carpentry Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning

(HVAC)

Concrete and masonry LP Gas Piping Demolition Natural Gas Distribution System Doors and Windows Painting Drywall Plumbing Electrical Roofing Electronic Safety and Security Systems Sheet metal Excavation Steam fitting Finishes Storm Water Collection Systems Fire Suppression and Alarms Thermal and Moisture Protection Flooring Welding Foundation and Site work

Other site work includes site grading, drainage, exterior irrigation systems, and retaining walls incidental to the construction.

The Government will implement the process set forth in the Scope of Work (SOW) to develop and issue individual TOs. Individual SOWs will vary in size depending on the nature of the work. The Contractor will provide sufficient technical support, project management, accurate estimates, and accommodate a number of concurrent active projects. The Contractor shall handle rapid increases in work volume, perform according to schedule without delay, and complete submittals and payrolls in a timely manner.

GENERAL

The Contractor will perform repair and construction as defined in each TO. The Government will provide the requirement to the Contractor detailing the task to be accomplished. The Contractor will provide all labor, supervision, materials, transportation, and equipment to meet all approved requirements. The Contracting Officer (KO) will issue to the Contractor a Request for Task Order Proposal (RTOP). The Contractor is responsible for estimating the level of effort required to perform the requested work. The Contractor will submit a detailed proposal of items required to accomplish the work within the time frame stated in the RTOP. The proposal will be of sufficient detail and broken out by item, so the Government can readily identify the estimated quantities and level of effort for each task and subtask. The Contractor will provide supervision, labor, materials, equipment, transportation, and supplies, unless otherwise specified as Government-furnished in each TO.

The KO will identify any security training required before the start of work. The Contractor’s key personnel are responsible for training all Contractor personnel at the Contractor's own expense.

The JOC will include a combination of repair and construction task descriptions and/or specifications, units of measure, and pre-established unit prices for each of these discrete requirements. TOs under the JOC are comprised of a number of pre-described and pre-priced tasks. Individual TO cost proposals will be determined by the applicable quantities of necessary UPB line items. The UPB lists the price for labor, equipment, and materials and excludes profit and overhead costs (bare cost).

3.1 Work Hours

Normal work hours are from 0700 to 1730, Monday through Thursday. The Contractor may be required to work outside of the normal work hours. Projects outside of normal work hours include, but are not limited to, Command Group Interest, troop mobilizations and demobilizations, or as indicated in the RTOP. A separate coefficient will be used for work identified as outside of normal work hours.

CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITY

The Contractor assumes full responsibility and liability for non-compliance with all Federal, State and local laws, regulations, codes, policies, and directives pertaining to the health and safety of personnel during the execution of work and shall hold the

Government harmless. The Contractor will perform all related Contractor administrative services, planning, programming, and management necessary to perform the work, to include but not limited to, supply, quality control (QC), and maintenance of accurate and complete records, files, and libraries of documents.

The Contractor will provide related services to include, but not limited to project management, QC, and submission of required deliverables necessary to satisfy requirements specified under this contract and individual TOs. The Contractor will visit the job site prior to the start of any work. The Contractor will provide a list of any damaged areas to the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) prior to beginning work, so as to preclude any responsibility for damages present that are not a result of the performance of work required in the TO. In the absence of the COR, the Alternate COR (ACOR) will assume responsibility.

4.1 Task Order Coordination

Prior to scheduling work for a TO, the Contractor will coordinate with the KO and COR to agree on a sequence of procedure, means of access to premises and building, space for storage of materials and equipment, delivery of materials, and use of corridors, stairways, elevators, eating spaces, and restrooms for Contractor personnel.

4.2 Commencement

The Contractor is required to commence work IAW the date specified in the task order award. Upon TO receipt, the Contractor is required to physically start work as indicated on all individual TOs. If work cannot begin by the specified date, the Contractor will inform the KO in writing with the reason for the delay.

4.3 Deliverables

The Contractor will submit to the KO (with copies furnished to the COR) a complete package of pre-construction deliverables which includes notices of award of subcontracts, performance schedules, and material or product submittals no later than (NLT) fourteen

(14) calendar days after TO award. The Government will make every attempt to respond to the pre-construction deliverables within fourteen (14) calendar days after the Contractor’s submissions are received.

Post-completion deliverables such as completed warranties certificates, Operation and Maintenance (O&M) manuals, payrolls, DD Form 1354, and environmental closure documents will be submitted to the KO prior to requesting final payment.

4.4 Work Execution

The Contractor will begin work NLT the time specified on the TO Notice to Proceed (NTP).

The time stated for entire completion of work specified in the TO includes final cleanup of the premises and submission of all deliverables, including post-completion deliverables.

Each TO is considered a separate project, and any decision by the Contractor to utilize a limited number of subcontractors on multiple orders will not constitute grounds for non-performance, time extensions, avoidance of liquidated damages, or other reductions for cause. The Contractor will work, so far as practicable, in definite sections or divisions and confined to limited areas which will be completed before starting on other sections or divisions.

4.5 Construction Related Changes

The Contractor will document and obtain authorization from the KO before making any changes to the work defined in the SOW. Construction-related requests from building occupants will be directed to the KO prior to taking any action. Any job site changes made by construction employees, either direct or subcontracted, will be subject to removal and corrected at no additional cost to the Government. Contractor must inform all employees to include subcontractors of this requirement.

4.6 Correspondence Identification

The Contractor will use a contract number and TO number on all correspondence sent to the KO or COR.

ORDERING PROCEDURES

The Government will issue and furnish a RTOP to the Contractor. The Contractor will then prepare a proposal for the accomplishment of the task within the time limit specified in the RTOP. The RTOP will identify an existing requirement based on designs provided by the Government and will include record drawings or sketches as applicable for the SOW to be accomplished.

5.1 Responsiveness

As specified in the RTOP, the Contractor will respond to the needs of the Government.

The Contractor will perform a site visit with the COR or other designated Government representative. The Contractor will review the construction requirements and discuss problems, unclear items, access, etc. The Contractor will prepare a site visit memorandum listing pertinent items discussed at the site visit. The site visit is considered essential to the preparation of a complete and proposal of the project desired by the DPW.

The site visit memorandum will be submitted with the Contractor’s proposal. Failure to visit the site and discuss the project requirements with the COR, is not an acceptable excuse for omissions or errors in proposals. The Contractor will review the drawings, sketches, and any changes in the SOW that resulted from the site visit. The Contractor will then prepare a proposal for the TO.

PROPOSALS

The Contractor will prepare a detailed cost estimate using the approved UPB. The UPB software shall be utilized for all applicable pricing under this contract. The Contractor will have the most current UPB software to support the contract requirements within seven

(7) calendar days of contract award. The Contractor and the Government will both have the most current version of the software and databases at all times.

The Contractor will not alter, append, delete, or otherwise modify the programming or UPB items, except for Government-issued changes, unless otherwise directed by the KO.

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

Site visits will be considered as incidental to the work and included in the Contractor’s coefficient.

Each proposal submitted by the Contractor will contain a printout of all proposed UPB items, quantities, extended prices, and total proposed costs. Significant components of work and all non-pre-priced (NPP) items will be identified in the price proposal.

The Contractor’s proposal must include, but is not limited to, TO project schedule, special conditions, proposed completion period, name of the Project Manager (PM), copy of the initial RTOP form with notation as to any items changed through negotiation (this will become the description of work defining the quality and SOW), and the TO proposal cost estimates which is comprised of the following three (3) sections:

a. Section 1, Division Summary: This section will include the UPB pre-priced divisions, Trades, Assemblies, and Alternates (both pre-priced and NPP). These items shall make up the Bare Total. No markups shall be applied at this level.

Identify and apply the City Cost Indexes (CCIs).

NPP items will be submitted with a minimum of two (2) or more offerors, IAW FAR 15.404-1(b)(2)(i) and 15.403-1(c)(1)(i)). The independent price vendor will include line-item number, description, material, labor, and equipment breakdowns. 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 will be applied.

c. Section 3, Line-Item Estimate: This section includes all of the estimated line items.

The report will include a sequential line-item number, full UPB item number, unit of measure, quantity, and bare unit cost, 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 UPB, with division breaks and division subtotals, and a listing of the Trades, Assemblies, and Alternates both pre-priced and NPP items.

CCIs will be applied.

Deadlines for providing proposals are:

a. Projects under $150,000: seven (7) calendar days

b. Project between $150,000 and $1,000,000: fourteen (14) calendar days

c. Projects over $1,000,000: twenty-one (21) calendar days

Proposals that do not include the required information will be returned for correction without an extension of the deadlines for providing proposals.

During a contract year, not more than ten (10) percent (rounded to a whole number) of all proposals will be provided without the required information nor later than the deadlines indicated above.

6.1 Cost Estimating Requirements

The Government-approved UPB for this contract is 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 UPB items or are not otherwise contained in the UPB are called NPP and their use is defined herein. Actual market pricing is not relevant under this contract unless necessary for calculating NPP work tasks. Any difference between actual prices and UPB pricing is not grounds for failure to perform nor is it grounds for any equitable adjustments in the price for the TO.

6.1.1 What Is Included

Prices in the UPB include the following: direct labor through the foreman level at current Davis-Bacon wage rates 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 the UPB are for complete-in-place construction unless explicitly described otherwise.

Since the UPB is 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 the UPB.

6.1.2 Waste and Excess Quantities Included in the Complete-In-Place Construction Quantities All prices in the UPB 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 the UPB. Quantities used on TO proposals will be taken from field measurements without allowance for waste or incidental extra materials used in the performance of work. Incidental nails, screws, weldments, and connectors are included in the UPB 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.

6.1.3 UPB Vendor Clarifications

Any time clarifications are required regarding content or scope of a UPB line item, and the issue is not covered elsewhere in this contract, the Government will act as the sole liaison with the vendor for obtaining the necessary clarifications.

6.1.4 UPB Application – Specific Considerations

6.1.4.1 Demolition

Ancillary components attached to an affected item or equipment that is scheduled for demolition will not be priced out separately unless the ancillary component must be removed to complete the TO.

Demolition prices in the UPB will cover the cost of removal and disposal of the items.

Demolition will 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 the UPB task. Unit prices for demolition exclude costs for hauling.

6.1.4.2 Assemblies Pricing

Assemblies pricing will take precedence over individual component unit pricing.

6.1.4.3 Line Item Cost Adjustments

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

All prices in the UPB are for complete-in-place construction without profit or overhead 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 arts. 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, 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. are allowed only on a TO basis (per job), not per subcontractor or discipline.

6.1.4.4 Price Adjustment Modifiers

UPB 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, methods of installation, and work conditions. One or more modifiers can be utilized to adjust the basic item price as listed by the appropriate suffix number of the basic line item.

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

Non-pre-priced (NPP) work is categorized as facilities construction activity that is not specifically included in the UPB but is within the basic intent and general scope of the contract. 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 will only be allowed if the Government deems an appropriate line item is not provided by the pre-priced UPB. To permit recurrent use, a NPP item may be incorporated by supplemental agreement into the UPB at any time during the contract period.

NPP work to be included in a TO will be proposed by the Contractor in a format acceptable to the Government. The Contractor’s proposal must be based on the UPB to the maximum extent possible. The proposal must separately identify NPP work and provide adequate information (e.g., at least two vendor quotes) for the KO to determine the reasonableness of the cost for the NPP work. Prices of NPP work or items added to a TO will be complete, including materials and labor.

Normally, the project will not be executed under this contract if the value of the NPP work exceeds 10% (AFARS 5117.9004-3(e)(1)) of the total TO cost and the NPP work will not be considered incidental. Only NPP work that is incidental to pre-priced work will be considered to be within the scope of this contract. However, the KO may approve exceeding the 10% limitation if the work is urgent or for emergency situations.

Incidental non-pre-priced work will be negotiated on a work item-by-work item basis. The pre-priced coefficient is not applied to NPP items. The NPP coefficient will be applied to the agreed to bare costs of NPP items after the bare costs of these items have been negotiated.

6.1.6 Coefficient

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 will factor in potential risks of inflation into the proposed coefficients.

Offerors will provide indirect costs and profit rate to be applied to NPP work. This is required for each option year of the contract, as with the coefficients for pre-priced work.

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 will include all products and services within the UPB, including the following:

Contractor's overhead and profit General and administrative and other overhead costs Bonding and alternative payment protection costs, Protective clothing Equipment rental 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

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 Record 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.

6.2 Project Schedules

The Contractor will prepare and submit a Project Schedule for approval by the KO.

Provide schedules at no additional cost to the Government. The schedule will indicate all work activities, milestones, and clearly show the critical path of the job. Include in the schedule activities for submittal approval, record drawings, final clean up and inspection, correction of punch list items, final payroll submittal, and operation and maintenance manuals. The schedule will 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 will schedule the entire project from the award date.

The approved project schedule will be used to measure the progress of the work.

Provide schedule revisions for each modification proposal for approval. The revised TO schedule will clearly indicate the added and deleted items of work and will reflect the increase or decrease in time required to execute the project and the modification. The Contractor will immediately contact the KO for further direction if a government representative requests a change to the SOW.

Submit construction project schedules electronically. Provide an approved electronic version, readable without providing a copy of the software, to the Government.

See Technical Exhibit A, Division 1 Specifications, Section 01 32 01.00 10, Project Schedule for additional requirements.

In a given contract year, not more than ten (10) percent of awarded TOs or modified TOs do not have a schedule or a revised schedule.

6.2.1 Time Extensions

Time extensions for TO modifications will be awarded if the additional work required by the modification delays on-going construction activities, if additional time is required to accomplish the added work requirements, supply line delays, or extreme weather events.

Time will not be extended to correct insufficient progress prior to the modification. (FAR 52.211-13, Time Extensions)

6.2.2 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 actually 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.

6.2.3 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 will reflect these anticipated adverse weather delays for weather-dependent activities.

The Contractor’s proposal will be reviewed by the Government for accuracy and completeness. The Government will negotiate 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 is not 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.

7.1 Task Order Work Files

The Contractor will maintain individual files on each TO. The Contractor will retain the working file on each TO for the duration of the contract period and will make these files available for the KO's review. All forms submitted will be accurately filled out. The Contractor will retain copies of any material including, but not limited to, receipts, TOs, sales slips, and invoices relating to the TO. The Contractor will provide the KO access to the Contractor maintained files during the term of the contract.

7.2 Notice of Completion of Task Order

The Contractor will notify the KO and COR upon completion of each individual TO. The Contractor will give the Government five (5) calendar days’ minimum advance notice of the date the work will be fully completed and ready for final inspection.

7.3 Real Property Documents Required Before TO Close-Out
