3. MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT, MATERIALS AND FEES

(1) General: For this contract, the term “materials” is used to describe equipment, materials, fees, or a combination of equipment, materials, and/or fees not specifically listed as a price breakout schedule line item in the contract. The Government’s purpose in including materials in a Request-for-Proposal (RFP) for a proposed Task Order written against this contract is to obtain the best value for the Government, reduce the administrative burden of coordinating the delivery of Government–furnished property to the Contractor, and to allow the Contractor the utmost flexibility in planning work by having control of when the materials are delivered to the work site. The Government cannot anticipate every piece of equipment, each material, or fee that will be required to complete every mission assigned to it. This provides a method for the Government to add necessary capability to the contract.

The Contractor shall make a good faith effort to obtain all materials from Small, Small Disadvantaged, or

Women-owned Businesses, if practicable. The Contractor shall be required to submit subcontracting reports as required by this contract that outlines the dollars subcontracted. The Government may accept, negotiate, or reject all or part of the Contractor’s proposal for materials.

The Contractor shall separate proposals into a section for materials and a section for labor and equipment.

If the Government chooses to reject all or part of a Contractor’s proposal for materials, the RFP will be amended to either show the date the Government will provide the materials to the Contractor or provide instructions for the Contractor for obtaining the materials. The Government may require the Contractor to ship the materials to the project site, protect the materials from theft, damage, weather or other hazards until acceptance of the project by the Government, and/or coordinate the delivery of the materials. If the RFP is amended to include additional responsibilities for the Contractor, the Contractor will be allowed to revise its proposal accordingly. The Government reserves the right to negotiate revised proposals.

(2) Process for ordering Materials and Supplies: If the Government elects to include materials in RFP, the Government will include a line item or other instructions in the RFP. The lump sum price breakout schedule line item will include the entire cost for purchasing, delivery, protection, and maintenance of the materials until acceptance of the completed project by the Government. The Contractor shall include all labor and equipment costs for incorporating the materials into the work in the section of the proposal dedicated to labor and equipment. If the Government rejects all or part of the material costs contained in the proposal, the RFP may be revised to allow the Government to provide the materials. The Contractor will be given an opportunity to then revise his proposal, and then the revised Task Order will then be negotiated.

Government furnished property (GFP) will be specified in each individual Task Order, if necessary.

4. TIME OF PERFORMANCE

Normally, all work will be performed on the basis of one (1) 8-hour shift per day, five (5) days a week.

The normal work week will run from Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. The ten Federal Holidays observed are:

When one of the above-designated holidays falls on a Sunday, the following Monday is observed as a legal holiday. When a legal holiday falls on a Saturday, the preceding Friday is observed as a holiday. The last two weeks of the calendar year shall not be considered when scheduling review or meeting times.

If the Contractor plans to work outside the normal working hours or on a Federal Holiday, the Contractor must notify the Contracting Officer or his representative in writing one (1) week prior to beginning an alternate work schedule. Increased work schedule by Contractor and approved by contracting officer will not constitute increased weather days or penalize the Government. Request for claims will not be allowed. Claims will be based on a 40 hour work week, unless an increased work week is part of the Task Order.

5. MOBILIZATION AND DEMOBILIZATION

The payment for mobilization shall be for all costs, including overhead and profit, incurred for loading, unloading, and setting up equipment at the work site as specified in a Task Order under an agreed-upon method of work. The payment for demobilization shall be for all costs, including overhead and profit, incurred for loading, unloading and storing equipment used in the execution of a Task Order under an agreed-upon method of work at the Contractor’s home office area. The percentage of the lump sum price for mobilization shall be paid on the first partial payment estimate after the equipment arrives on the site ready to begin work. The remainder (demobilization) shall be paid on the final payment estimate after the equipment has been removed from the job site.

These percentages and conditions are as specified in DFARS Clause 252.236-7004 (Payment for Mobilization and Demobilization) and could be modified for each Task Order at the discretion of the Contracting Officer. Only equipment included in an agreed-upon method of work for a Task Order shall be included in the payment for Mobilization and Demobilization.
