If a discipline is not listed in Table B.1 and is required for a specific task order, that labor rate will be negotiated with the offeror before award of that task order. All total hourly rates indicated in Table B.1 of this Section B shall include Overhead, General & Administrative (G&A) and any Labor Burden Fringes, or other costs and shall be exclusive of profit.
The Contractor shall complete Table B.1 (attached). It shall show one rate per labor discipline, including those provided by subcontractors. Table B.1 may be expanded by the offeror to ensure that all disciplines required are identified. The offeror may not have all personnel on staff; therefore, if those personnel are subcontracted, their rates shall be provided in the tables as well. All contracted personnel shall be identified on the table following “(SUB)” after the title of the discipline. For example, state “Cultural Resources Specialist (SUB)”. The rates shown per labor discipline shall be the fully burdened rates.
NOTE: If during the Contract Period of Performance, the Contractor’s original subcontracted personnel are no longer available to the Prime, the Prime shall find a subcontractor that has at a minimum, the same qualifications as the previous subcontracted personnel. The Prime shall be responsible for negotiating the labor rates for those personnel that have been provided in this solicitation. Those rates provided are the maximum that will be paid by the Government for any replacement personnel.

* NOTE: Should the Government exercise its right to extend the contract under FAR Clause 52.217-8, the Contractor will be required to hold its labor rates to the accepted rates identified in the Binding Labor Rate Schedule.
6.1.1 The offeror shall indicate for each discipline whether it is employed by the prime or a subcontractor by annotating PRIME or SUB next to the discipline in the first column.
6.1.2 The hourly labor rates in Binding Rate Labor Schedule shall become binding upon contract award for the life of the contract. The hourly burdened labor rates shall include direct cost, payroll taxes, insurance, benefits, and any other applicable labor costs, but shall exclude profit.
6.1.3 The binding hourly rates represent the labor rates that the Contractor shall use when responding to a Request for Task Order Proposal (RTOP) issued by the Government. These binding rates shall also apply to all task order modifications, unless lower hourly rates were proposed on the individual task order. The Contractor may propose a lower hourly rate for these labor disciplines when responding to the RTOP based on the tasks identified in the RTOP. See paragraph 6.1.7 below for additional information.
6.1.4 Adherence to these rates will be reviewed through submittal of supporting documentation by the Contractor with each task order proposal. Failure to propose the binding hourly rate or a lower hourly rate for the listed labor disciplines may result in the Contractor’s task order proposal being rejected for award consideration.
6.1.5 If a discipline is not listed in the contract rate pricing schedule and is required for the contractor to perform a specific task order, the contractor may propose the required labor category and the associated fully burdened labor rate (exclusive of profit) in the proposal submitted in response to the issued RTOP.
6.1.6 If during the contract Period of Performance, the Contractor’s original subcontracted personnel are no longer available, the Contractor shall find a subcontractor that has at a minimum, the same qualifications as the previous subcontracted personnel. The Contractor shall be responsible for negotiating the labor rates for those personnel that have been provided in the Binding Labor Rate Schedule. The rates provided in the Binding Labor Rate Schedule are the maximum that will be paid by the Government for any replacement personnel.
6.1.7 The rates shall be governed by the effective date of the Task Order. Task Orders will use the prices for the 12-month period effective on the date the Task Order is issued. Modifications to Task Orders will reflect the rates of the “current 12-month” binding labor rate schedule. For example, if the rate schedule changes over on 1 November of each year, and a Task Order is issued on 1 September 2018 for 12 months work, the maximum rates will be the rates that were effective on 1 November 2017. Under the same assumptions, if a modification to the Task Order is required in December 2018, the labor rates effective on 1 November 2018 will apply.
6.2 Binding Rates for Home Office Overhead and G&A Rates. The binding rates for use on this contract are provided in the following schedule.

Option 1 Year 2
Op t io n 2 Year 3

6.2.1 The Binding Rates represent 1) a breakout of the caps/markups incorporated into the Binding Labor Rate Schedule; 2) caps/markups on materials/services; and 3) caps/markups to be applied to future task order modifications. If the offeror has Binding Rates that are the same for the Base Period and all Option Periods, simply put the same number in each box. If the offeror intends to provide Binding Rate that are different for any or all of the Option Periods from the Base Period Year 1, the offeror must provide a justification for the changed rates. In addition, the offeror must also provide the unburdened rates for Options 1-4 (Years 2-5) and for the 6 months so that the Government can review the calculations of the unburdened versus burdened labor rates.
6.2.2 The Binding Rates represent the rates that the Contractor shall use when responding to a task order request issued by the Government. These Binding Rates shall also apply to all modifications. The Contractor may propose lower rates when responding to the task order request or modification requests.
6.2.3 Adherence to these rates will be reviewed through submittal of supporting documentation by the Contractor with each task order proposal.
6.2.4 The Binding Rates shall be governed by the effective date of the Task Order. See paragraph 6.1.7 above.
6.2.5 If the offeror intends to use the same Binding Rates throughout the entire life of the contract, the offeror can propose an escalation rate to be applied to the previous year’s fully burdened labor rate.
6.3 General
6.3.1 The amount to be paid to the Contractor for each firm-fixed price task order shall be based on the binding labor rates for labor disciplines listed in Paragraph 6.1 and binding rates for home office overhead rate and G&A rate in Paragraph 6.2.
6.3.2 Applicable Department of Labor Wage Rates (FAR 52.222-41) and Statement of Equivalent Rates for Federal Hires (FAR 52.222-42) will be included at the individual task orders level when the site and location for the work is known.
6.3.3 Profit will be negotiated for each individual task order.
6.3.4 The Government reserves the right to request certified cost or pricing data or information other than certified cost or pricing data from the contractor at the task order level to assess the reasonableness of the proposed task order pricing.
6.3.5 The Government will analyze task order proposals to determine whether they are unbalanced with respect to prices or separately priced line items. Task order proposals that are determined to be materially unbalanced may be rejected. An offer is mathematically unbalanced if it is based on prices, which are significantly less than the cost for some contract line items and significantly overstated in relation to cost for others. In addition, an offer is materially unbalanced if it is mathematically unbalanced and there is a reasonable doubt that the offer would result in the lowest overall cost to the government, even though it is the lowest evaluated offer.
7. Department of Labor Wage Rates
For the purposes of the sample project, Department of Labor Wage Determination 2015-5691 Rev 8, dated December 26, 2018 and Statement of Equivalent Rates for Federal Hires for 2018 are attached in Section J of this solicitation. For subsequent individual task orders written against the contract, the appropriate Department of Labor Wage Determination and Statement of Equivalent Rates for Federal Hires will be provided.
8. Travel
Per Diem (lodging and MI & E expenses) shall be paid at the current Government rates in accordance with the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) per person per calendar day spent in travel status. No per diem will be paid for travel less than the number of hours per day stated in the current FTR. Per diem rate information may be obtained at http://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/.
Actual cost of transportation by public conveyance (plane, limited to coach class) shall be paid. Privately owned vehicles shall be paid at the current Government mileage rate in accordance with the FTR.
