2. Contractor Notes:

2.1 Estimated Quantities: All Sub Line Items in the pricing schedule are estimated-quantity Line Items. The quantities are estimated amounts and are not guaranteed amounts. The contractor shall only be paid for work actually directed and performed. At no time shall the contractor exceed the estimated quantity on any estimated quantity Sub Line Item. The contractor shall establish a tracking system of actual quantities against the contract’s estimated quantities for each estimated quantity Sub Line Item and shall maintain the tracking system up to date throughout the life of the contract. When the actual quantity of any Line Item reaches 75% of the estimated quantity on any estimated quantity Line Item, the contractor shall notify the Government’s Contracting Officer and the Contract Administration POC in writing within two (2) calendar days. Once the Government is notified that the actual quantity has reached 75% of the estimated quantity on any Line Item and if the Government determines that the estimated quantity needs to be increased, the contractor shall receive an official modification to the contract action signed by the Contracting Officer increasing the quantity and the amount obligated on the contract BEFORE the contractor shall proceed to work over the existing estimated quantity. The modification shall set the new estimated quantity that the contractor shall not exceed without another modification. Every invoice shall be accompanied by a full accounting of each Line Item being billed, the actual quantity being billed and supporting documentation to support the actual quantities.

2.2 Quality assurance testing of the materials shall be performed throughout the construction period to assure the quality of the Contractor's quality control testing program.

2.3 The laboratory shall follow the procedures provided in each of the respective ASTM test methods listed in the pricing. An on-site trailer will not be needed. However, suitable storage will be needed to ensure that the applicable ASTM temporary sample storage requirements will be met.

2.4 In most instances the Government will not provide samples directly to the lab; the laboratory will perform its own sampling on site.

2.5 The laboratory facilities shall be located within a two (2) hour drive of the project site.

2.6 The testing laboratory performing quality control testing for the Contractor, for a specific project, may not concurrently perform quality assurance testing under this contract for the same project.

2.7 The laboratory shall meet the safety requirements stated in Corps of Engineers EM 385-1-1, which can be accessed by copying and pasting the following site into a web browser:

http://www.usace.army.mil/SafetyandOccupationalHealth/SafetyandHealthRequirementsManual.aspx

2.8 All access shall be coordinated through the US Army Corps of Engineers Valley Resident Office, before work can begin. Danielle Meaux (916-373-1617 x318) or Jennifer Wheelis (916-373-1617 x320), US Army Corps of Engineers, at the Valley Resident Office, or via email Danielle.A.Meaux@usace.army.mil, to coordinate access to the site. The Lab testing personnel are required to check in with the appropriate on-site Government Corps Representative every time they arrive on site. The Lab Representative shall also make contact with one of the above Corps representatives before leaving the site. At this time, the Lab Representative shall provide a report outlining the tests performed or samples taken as well as document Lab Representative's departure time from the site as well as any specifically directed standby time.

2.9 The prices shall include all test report review and report costs. The offeror’s or vendor’s pricing shall include with each test item all costs associated with performing the tests including all vehicle costs, incidental lab equipment such as slump cones, density meters, etc. and sampling required to perform a test (i.e. ASTM C172 for ASTM C31, ASTM D75, ASTM D140, ASTM D979, ASTM D5361, etc.). Incidental testing required by a test method such as ASTM C143 (Slump), ASTM C173/C231 (Air Content) and ASTM 1064 (Temperature) to perform ASTM C31 (Making and Curing Concrete Test Specimens in the Field) shall be included in the offeror’s or vendor’s pricing to perform the test. The offeror’s or vendor’s pricing shall include all direct costs as well as indirect costs such as overhead, profit, bond, and workers compensation insurance. It should be noted that stand-by time will be paid only when specifically directed by the Government to compensate unanticipated delays that are outside the control of the laboratory (offeror or vendor). Therefore it should also be noted that unit-cost of each test item shall not include any travel or stand-by time.

2.10 Test reports shall be completed according to the Construction Control Manual, which will be provided upon request. If a necessary form is not included in the Construction Control Manual, refer to the applicable ASTM reporting requirements except when specified otherwise in the project specifications.

2.11 All testing shall be started without delay as soon as possible after sampling. Completed test reports shall be provided to the Valley Resident Office within 24 hours of completion via email in electronic format PDF.

Provide a summary sheet in Microsoft Excel at least weekly.

2.12. If the laboratory is given a contract by the Contractor completing the levee work for a particular contract, the laboratory is not eligible to be given the award by the Government for that particular contract due to conflict of interest.

2.13. The laboratory (offeror or vendor) for this contract shall be validated by the Corps of Engineers, Materials Testing Center (MTC), for the required test methods called for in this contract and shall be responsible to maintain validation for the life of this contract. Cost to obtain and maintain validation are the responsibility of the laboratory (offeror or vendor).

2.14. Sub-contracting of testing is not acceptable unless authorized in writing by the Government; sub-contracted tests must be performed by a laboratory that has an active validated status with MTC and performed consistent with the requirements of this contract. Proof that validation is active must be provided to the Government for the Government to consider approving the request to use a sub-contractor. Sub-contracting and related costs are the responsibility of the laboratory (offeror or vendor) under this contract.
