The Contractor shall handle rapid increases in work volume, perform according to schedule without delay, and complete submittals and payrolls within 10 work days.

GENERAL

The Contractor shall 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 shall provide all labor, material, 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 shall be responsible for estimating the level of effort required to perform the requested work. The Contractor shall submit a detailed proposal of items required to accomplish the work within the time frame stated in the RTOP. The proposal shall 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 shall provide supervision, labor, materials, equipment, and supplies, unless otherwise specified as Government-furnished in each TO.

Security training required will be identified on each SOO. The Contractor’s key personnel shall be 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 shall be determined by the applicable quantities of necessary UPB line items. The UPB lists the price for labor, equipment, and materials.

Work Hours Normal work hours are from 0700 to 1600, Monday through Friday. However, 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 shall be used for work identified as outside of normal work hours.

CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITY

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

The Contractor shall provide related services to include, but are not limited to, pre-award project development, project management, QC, and submission of required deliverables necessary to satisfy requirements specified under this contract and individual TOs. The Contractor shall visit the job site prior to the start of any work. The Contractor shall list any damaged areas and turn them into the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), 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.

Task Order Coordination Prior to scheduling work for a TO, the Contractor shall 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.

Commencement The Contractor shall be required to commence work IAW the TO notice to proceed (NTP) date.

Deliverables The Contractor shall 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 seven (7) calendar days after the Contractor’s submissions are received.

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

Work Execution The time stated for entire completion of work specified in the TO shall include final cleanup of the premises and submission of all deliverables. TOs shall be considered separate projects, and any decision by the Contractor to utilize a limited number of subcontractors on multiple orders shall not constitute grounds for non-performance, time extensions, avoidance of liquidated damages, or other reductions for cause.

4.4.1 Construction Related Changes

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

4.4.2 Correspondence Identification

The Contractor shall 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 shall 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 as-built or sketches as applicable for the SOW to be accomplished.

Responsiveness The Contractor shall perform a site visit with the COR. The Contractor shall review the construction requirements and discuss problems, unclear items, access, etc. The Contractor shall 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 competitive proposal of the project desired by the DPW. The site visit memorandum shall be submitted with the Contractor’s proposal. The Contractor shall review the drawings, sketches, and any changes in the SOW that resulted from the site visit. The Contractor shall then prepare a proposal for the TO.

PROPOSALS

The Contractor shall prepare a detailed cost estimate using the approved UPB (E4Clicks).

The UPB (E4Clicks) software shall be utilized for all applicable pricing under this contract.

The Contractor shall purchase the most current UPB (E4Clicks) software to support the contract requirements within seven (7) calendar days of contract award. The Contractor shall both have the most current version of the software and databases at all times.

The Contractor shall 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 shall be prepared to provide a detailed breakdown of the proposal, to include all pricing documentation to demonstrate that it is fair and reasonable.

If necessary in the development of a price proposal, site visits will be considered as incidental to the work and included in the Contractor’s coefficient.

Each proposal submitted by the Contractor shall 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 shall be identified in the price proposal.

The Contractor’s proposal shall include, but not be limited to, product submittals, 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 shall 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. The Contractor shall apply the City Cost Indexes (CCIs).

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

c. Section 3, Line Item Estimate: This section shall include all of the estimated line items. The report shall 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 shall be applied.

Contingency

The Government will, at its discretion, include contingency in proposals to allow for unforeseen site conditions, changes in requirements, etc. The contingency will be included in the proposal as a NPP item.

Cost Estimating Requirements The Government-approved UPB for this contract shall be 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 shall not constitute http://farsite.hill.af.mil/reghtml/regs/far2afmcfars/fardfars/far/15.htm#P344_59711 grounds for failure to perform nor shall be grounds for any equitable adjustments in the price for the TO.

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.

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 shall be taken from field measurements or design plans, as appropriate, 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.

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.

UPB Application – Specific Considerations

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

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

Demolition shall 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.

Assemblies Pricing Assemblies pricing shall take precedence over individual component unit pricing.

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 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 parts. 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. shall be allowed only on a TO basis (per job), not per subcontractor or discipline.

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, and methods of installation. 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.

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, requiring substantial adjustment due to material differences in factors from those typically encountered in the construction industry. 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 shall 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 shall be incorporated by supplemental agreement into the UPB and may be done at any time during the contract period.

NPP work to be included in a TO shall be proposed by the Contractor in a format acceptable to the Government. Prices of NPP work or items added to a TO shall be complete, including materials and labor. NPP work or items shall be negotiated with the pre-priced items in the proposal at the negotiation meeting. Additional items may be added to the basic tasks defined in the UPB as new pre-priced items. If new pre-priced items are added, the prices will be in effect on the date of TO award.

The project shall 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 shall not be considered incidental. Only NPP work that is incidental to pre-priced work shall be considered to be within the scope of this contract. Incidental non pre-priced work will be negotiated on a work item-by-work item basis. UPB used for calculating the pre-priced items will not be used to compute the cost proposal of the NPP items. 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.

NPP Contractor Material and Equipment Costs The Contractor shall receive the cost of the material plus the applicable coefficient as a handling fee. Material costs may include freight but shall not include any other overhead or associated costs. Equipment costs may only be included if the equipment is used solely as a result of inclusion of the NPP item.

Coefficients 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 shall factor in potential risks of inflation into the proposed coefficients.

Offerors shall provide indirect costs and profit rate (NPP Coefficient), to be applied to NPP work. This is required for each location for the base and each option year, as with the coefficients for pre-priced work, a yearly average will also be automatically calculated.

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 shall include all products and services within the UPB, including, but not limited to 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

• As built drawings

• Permits, licenses, and fees (including excavation permits)

• 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.

Project Schedules

The Contractor shall prepare and submit a Project Schedule for approval, as specified in each TO. Schedules shall be provided at no additional cost to the Government. The schedule shall indicate all work activities, milestones, and clearly show the critical path of the job. The schedule shall include activities for submittal approval, as-built drawings, final clean up and inspection, correction of punch list items and final payroll submittal, and operation and maintenance manuals. The schedule shall 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 shall schedule the entire project from the award date. The Contractor shall use the approved project schedule to measure the progress of the work.

Revisions of the schedule shall be re-submitted with each modification proposal for approval. The revised TO schedule shall clearly indicate the added and deleted items of work and shall reflect the increase or decrease in time required to execute the project and the modification. The Contractor shall immediately contact the COR for further direction if a Government representative requests a change to the SOW.

Construction project schedules shall be submitted electronically with a paper copy. The Contractor shall provide an approved electronic version, readable without providing a copy of the software, to the KO.

Time Extensions Time extensions for TO modifications will be awarded if the additional work required by the modification delays on-going construction activities or if additional time is required to accomplish the added work requirements. Time shall not be extended to correct insufficient progress prior to the modification. (FAR 52.211-13, Time Extensions)

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.

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 shall reflect these anticipated adverse weather delays for weather-dependent activities.

Liquidated Damages The Contractor shall pay liquidated damages to the Government if the Contractor fails to complete the work within the time specified. The amount to be paid by the Contractor shall be determined at the TO level for each calendar day of delay until the work is completed or accepted. (FAR 52.211-12, Liquidated Damages)

If the Government terminates the Contractor’s right to proceed, the resulting damage will consist of liquidated damages until such reasonable time as may be required for final completion of the work together with any increased costs the Government incurred to complete the work. (FAR 52.211-12, Liquidated Damages)

TASK ORDER DOCUMENTS

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 shall not be 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.

Task Order Work Files The Contractor shall maintain individual files on each TO. The Contractor shall retain the working file on each TO for the duration of the contract period and shall make these files available for the KO's review within 5 working days. All forms submitted shall be accurately filled out. The Contractor shall retain copies of any material including, but not limited to, receipts, TOs, sales slips, and invoices relating to the TO. The Contractor shall provide the KO access to the Contractor maintained files during the term of the contract.

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

Real Property Documents Required Before TO Close-Out (As indicated per TO) Prior to final acceptance of TO work, the Contractor shall contact the COR for any project-specific information necessary to complete DD Form 1354, Transfer and Acceptance of Military Real Property.

Interim DD Form 1354 At a minimum of fourteen (14) calendar days prior to final acceptance of the work or as specified on each TO, the Contractor shall complete and submit an accounting of all installed property. Refer to Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 1-300-08, Criteria for Transfer and Acceptance of DOD Real Property, for instruction on completing the DD Form 1354.
