SUMMARY OF WORK

01/08

PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

1.1.1 Project Description

The major features of the EOD project include the Range Area and the Range Operations Center (ROC). The range area consists of eighteen (18) training sites, sixteen (16) MOUT Sites, three (3) demolition areas, an airfield mockup area, a battlefield mockup area, and a driving range training area.

The ROC is an administration/classroom/vehicle maintenance building.

Adjacent to the ROC there will be two (2) additional training facilities -the Advanced Robotics (AR) course, and Remote Opening Site (ROS). Service roads to provide access to each objective area and landing zones will be provided or be repaired.

The sites, access roads, airfield, battlefield, and driver training area will be cleared of all debris. An existing concrete pad at the Demolition-3 area Mosque must be demolished. Extensive clearing is required at the ROC site and grubbing is required to remove organic materials. Clearing shown on the other miscellaneous sites is largely limited to debris pickup where land disturbance is to be limited. Excess materials will be stored onsite.

Typical site grading will be required for the ROC site, access roads, and range sites to achieve the proposed site elevations.

Wetland delineations have been completed and survey results indicate that there are wetlands within the project area. The wetlands delineation data was incorporated into the design and the limits of construction were ad-justed accordingly. There shall be no land disturbances or construction activities within the 35 m (100 ft) Chesapeake Bay Resource Protection Areas (RPAs). These buffers are associated with all wetlands, intermit-tent, and perennial streams located throughout the project area.

The Architectural design primarily focuses on the ROC which is 1 building;

a building containing the administrative rooms, classrooms, and vehicle maintenance rooms. The ROC building will be ADA accessible.

The proposed HVAC system for the EOD facility is geothermal heat pumps serving the interior occupied spaces requiring air conditioning and heating. Each pump will be sized for 100% of the total capacity.

The electrical work includes providing exterior building lighting, exterior telecommunications systems connectivity for down range sites back to the Range Operations Center, exterior lightning protection mast system, interior electrical distribution system, interior lighting, interior telecommunications.

The project is required to meet LEED Silver rating.

1.1.2 Location

The work shall be located in the Brandywine or eastern section of Fort AP

1.19 PROFIT

1.19.1 Weighted Guidelines

Weighted guidelines method of determining profit shall be used on any equitable adjustment change order or modification issued under this contract. The profit factors shall be as follows:

Factor Rate Weight Value

Degree of Risk 20 Relative difficulty of work 15 Size of Job 15 Period of performance 15 Contractor's investment 05 Assistance by Government 05 Subcontracting 25

1.19.2 Value

Based on the circumstances of each procurement action, each of the above factors shall be weighted from .03 to .12 as indicated below. The value shall be obtained by multiplying the rate by the weight. The value column when totaled indicates the fair and reasonable profit percentage under the circumstances of the particular procurement.

1.19.2.1 Degree of Risk

Where the work involves no risk or the degree of risk is very small, the weighting should be .03; as the degree of risk increases, the weighting should be increased up to a maximum of .12. Lump sum items will have, generally, a higher weighted value than the unit price items for which quantities are provided. Other things to consider: the portion of the work to be done by subcontractors, nature of work, where work is to be performed, reasonableness of negotiated costs, amount of labor included in costs, and whether the negotiation is before or after performance of work.

1.19.2.2 Relative Difficulty of Work

If the work is most difficult and complex, the weighting should be .12 and should be proportionately reduced to .03 on the simplest of jobs. This factor is tied in to some extent with the degree of risk. Some things to consider: the nature of the work, by whom it is to be done, where, and what is the time schedule.

1.19.2.3 Size of Job

All work not in excess of $100,000 shall be weighted at .12. Work

SECTION 01 30 00.10 50 Page 9 estimated between $100,000 and $5,000,000 shall be proportionately weighted from .12 to .05.

1.19.2.4 Periods of Performance

Jobs in excess of 24 months are to be weighted at .12. Jobs of lesser duration are to be proportionately weighted to a minimum of .03 for jobs not to exceed 30 days. No weight where additional time not required.

1.19.2.5 Contractor's Investment

To be weighted from .03 to .12 on the basis of below average, average, and above average. Things to consider: amount of subcontracting, mobilization payment item, Government furnished property, equipment and facilities, and expediting assistance.

1.19.2.6 Assistance by Government

To be weighted from .12 to .03 on the basis of average to above average.

Things to consider: use of Government owned property, equipment and facilities, and expediting assistance.

1.19.2.7 Subcontracting

To be weighted inversely proportional to the amount of subcontracting.

Where 80 percent or more of the work is to be subcontracted, the weighting is to be .03 and such weighting proportionately increased to .12 where all the work is performed by the Contractor's own forces.

1.20 BLASTING

Blasting will not be permitted.
