1.4.1 Project Description
The ANC Funeral Procession Queuing Area shall provide a staff parking lot, North Parking lot, and queuing area. The queuing area will accommodate up to six concurrent and overlapping funeral processions in multiple funeral procession lanes with up to 24 cars per lane. The supporting facilities include waterlines, site electrical, variable message signage, storm drainage, landscaping, and pedestrian access for individuals with disabilities. Preparation of the site may require demolition of existing site features and pavements, removal of trees and vegetation, protection of natural site features and select trees. The North Lot (Phase 2) will accommodate wounded warriors and people with disabilities, Cemetery Representatives orchestrating the interment services at the family level (currently these vehicles must park in the congested King Circle), and space for employees of WIMSA. The Queuing Area (Phase 2) will allow families to queue for processions on arrival through an intuitive layout and clear signage. Density of plantings will be increased to provide separation between Queuing Area and Section 54. The Staff Lot (Phase 1) will accommodate staff, and will provide parking for families during the construction of Phase 2. The west side of the staff parking area has been heavily landscaped to screen it from Halsey Drive. All work within each of the phase limits, including landscaping, is to be completed prior to turning the Phase area over to ANC. Work in Phase 2 cannot commence until Phase 1 has been accepted by ANC. The provided landscaping is subject to a 12 months warranty period starting from acceptance. Roads will be milled and paved (see drawings).
1.4.2 Location
The entire project is located in the vicinity of the existing Administration Building. The new Queuing Area is located between Section 54 and King Drive, in roughly the same footprint of the existing parking area.

In order for the Contracting Officer to award a time extension under this clause, the following conditions must be 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.
1.14.1 Schedule
The following schedule of monthly anticipated adverse weather delays is based on National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) or similar data for the project location and will constitute the base line for monthly weather time evaluations. The Contractor's progress schedule must reflect these anticipated adverse weather delays in all-weather dependent activities.

1.22 PROFIT
1.22.1 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
1.22.2 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.
1.22.2.1 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.
1.22.2.2 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.
1.22.2.3 Size of Job
All work not in excess of $100,000 shall be weighted at .12. Work estimated between $100,000 and $5,000,000 shall be proportionately weighted from .12 to .05.
SECTION 01 30 00.10 Page 13
1.22.2.4 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.
1.22.2.5 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.
1.22.2.6 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.
1.22.2.7 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.
1.23 BLASTING
Blasting will not be permitted.
