Provide a burdening calculation for the disciplines listed below, for example:

Burdened Rate = Applicable DoL Wage Rate (including haz pay if required) x (1 + FOOH) x (1 + G&A).

Burdening Rate Calculation

5.1.1. The maximum hourly rates provided on Table 1 shall be “Fully Burdened,” i.e., shall include Overhead (OH), General/Administrative (G&A), Labor Burden Fringes, and any other indirect costs exclusive of profit.

5.1.2. Labor rates used in formulating task order proposals shall not exceed the maximum labor rates as of the date of task order requirement.

5.1.3. 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. For example, “Engineer (SUB)”. The rates shown per labor discipline shall be fully burdened rates, exclusive of profit.

5.1.4. The hourly burdened labor rates proposed in the Maximum Labor Rate Schedule are binding upon contract award for the life of the SATOC, to include all option periods and extensions. These rates are applicable to both task orders and modifications.

5.1.5. The maximum hourly, fully burdened labor rates shall include all applied direct and indirect costs, e.g., direct labor costs, payroll taxes, insurance, benefits, applied OH, applied G&A, and other applied indirect costs, but shall not include profit.

5.1.6. 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 provide the unburdened labor rate along with all applied direct and indirect costs which formulate the fully burdened labor rate (exclusive of profit) in the proposal submitted in response to the issued Request for Task Order Proposal (RTOP).

5.1.7. If during the contract Period of Performance, the Offeror’s original key personnel are no longer available, the

Offeror shall replace these individuals with personnel whom, at a minimum, meet the minimum qualifications specified in the contract. The Offeror shall be responsible for negotiating labor rates for those personnel that do not exceed the rates provided in Table 1, which are the maximum rates the Government will pay for any personnel. The

Contractor shall submit the replacement personnel’s qualifications to the Contracting Officer for approval.

5.1.8. The applicable maximum labor 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” maximum 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 2020 for 12 months work, the maximum rates will be the rates that were effective on 1 November 2019. Under the same assumptions, if a modification to the task order is required in December 2020, the labor rates effective on 1 November 2020 will apply.

5.1.9. The Offeror has the responsibility to provide labor rates that comply with all potential Service Contract Act wage determinations and/or Davis Bacon wage decisions for each labor discipline subject to those wage determinations/wage decisions. If, during the performance of the contract, the Service Contract Act and/or Davis

Bacon wage determination exceed the maximum proposed wage on the base contract, the wage determination takes precedence and will be determined fair and reasonable at the task order level. The Government will provide the applicable wage determination(s) for the specific geographic location of the task orders in the RTOP.

5.1.10. Provide only one (1) rate per labor discipline, regardless of whether the individuals employed for that discipline are directly employed or subcontracted or whether the Joint Venture has separate applied indirect costs.

5.1.11. The hourly burdened labor rates proposed by the Offeror shall include direct cost, payroll taxes, insurance, benefits, and applicable markups (e.g., Overhead, G&A, and other identified indirect costs), but shall exclude profit.

Offerors shall provide an example of how the markups are applied to the unburdened labor rates in proposal submittal per Section L, paragraph 5.3.

5.2 Firm-Fixed Price Escalation and Maximum Profit

5.2.1. The escalation rate applied to Table 1 for Years 2 through 5 shall be provided by the Offeror in Table 2.

Table 2: Escalation Rate

5.2.2. Profit will be negotiated at the task order level for each Firm-Fixed Price task order but shall not exceed the maximum profit rate provided by the Offeror in Table 3, “Maximum Profit.” The maximum profit shall be binding for the life of the contract, to include all option periods and extensions, and shall be the maximum profit the

Contractor will be allowed to propose for all firm-fixed-price task orders and modifications issued under this contract.

5.2.3. The Contractor may propose a lower profit when responding to a RTOP (or subsequent modifications) based on the tasks identified in the request and the risk associated with the project.

5.2.4. The maximum profit on this contract shall be provided by the Offeror in Table 3:

Table 3: Maximum Profit (Firm Fixed Price Task Orders and Modifications)

6. Binding Capped Rates for Firm-Fixed Price Task Orders

6.1. The Binding Capped Rates represent the maximum Overhead, G&A, or other Indirect rates that the Contractor shall use when responding to a RTOP issued by the Government. These rates are applicable to all Firm-Fixed Price task orders shall also apply to all modifications. The Offeror may use lower rates in proposals, but not higher.

Overhead, G&A, and other indirect rates become the cap for that specific task order. However, it does not affect the

Overhead, G&A and other indirect rates used on other task orders. The Offeror shall provide the rates for each applied rate, e.g., Overhead, G&A, and other indirect rates in Table 4. The capped rates provided by the Offeror are binding upon contract award for the life of the SATOC, to include all option periods and extensions.

6.2. The Offeror shall also provide an example of how the rates are applied to Direct Labor, Subcontractor costs, materials costs, and other direct costs.

6.2.1. The Binding Indirect Capped 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.

6.2.2. The Binding Indirect Capped Rates represent the maximum rates that the Contractor shall use when responding to a task order request issued by the Government. These Binding Indirect Capped Rates shall also apply to all modifications. The Contractor may propose lower rates for these 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. Failure to propose the binding rates or a lower rate may result in the Contractor’s task order proposal being rejected for award consideration.

6.2.4. The Binding Cap 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 Indirect Capped Rate schedule. For example, if the rate schedule changes over on 1 November of each year, and a Task Order is issue 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 Binding Cap Rates effective on 1 November 2018 will apply.

7. Department of Labor Rates For individual task orders written against the contract, the appropriate Wage Determination/Decision will be provided with the RTOP.

8. Travel The Contractor shall perform all travel and attend all meetings necessary for completion of the work required by the task orders. 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. Air travel shall (if possible) be planned in advance in order to acquire the best prices available. Privately owned vehicles shall be paid at the current Government mileage rate in accordance with the

FTR. The maximum amount paid for an airline ticket shall be the cost of travel via coach class.

2.4.1. Work Plan

The contractor is responsible for preparing the appropriate planning document that complies with the EPA or other lead regulatory agency regulations, USACE guidance, the Department of Defense Quality Systems Manual (DOD

QSM) and EPA guidance.

The Uniform Federal Policy Quality Assurance Project Plan (UFP QAPP), which combines the work plan (WP), the field sampling plan (FSP), and the quality assurance project plan (QAPP) into one uniformed standard format is required for all quality assurance planning documentation involving data collection. The QAPP is a standalone document that satisfies all CERCLA and RCRA requirements for investigative purposes. The UFP QAPP template and instructions can be found at U.S. EPA, Intergovernmental Data Quality Task Force, Uniform Federal Policy for

Implementing Environmental Quality Systems: Evaluating, Assessing and Documenting Environmental Data

Collection/Use and Technology Programs, most current version. The UFP QAPP is intended to capture the entire project planning process including data quality objectives (DQOs). In order to obtain data of sufficient quality to satisfy data quality objectives for legally defensible data, the EPA, and/or state regulators require the preparation of appropriate planning documents for all environmental measurements that will be used for environmental regulatory compliance.

All procedures and activities including but not limited to those required for the acquisition of data shall be presented in the UFP-QAPP for approval by the CENWO-PDT (technical team), KO, state representatives, and EPA authorities, as necessary, prior to the initiation of any fieldwork. The UFP-QAPP is intended to be a living document and should be designed such that change pages may be provided to update the document. Modifications shall go through the appropriate approval process, prior to implementation. Any variances from the UFP-QAPP format must be approved by the CENWO-PDT and KO and documented in the project file.

The UFP-QAPP integrates technical and quality control aspects of a project including planning, implementation, assessment, and corrective actions. UFP-QAPP provides project-level guidance for implementing the systematic planning process including; project management and objectives; measurement, field tasks, and data acquisition;

assessment and oversight; and data review. In addition to the UFP-QAPP guidance, CENWO requires an executive summary at the beginning of the document that will summarize site conditions, site history, and previous investigations that present the current conceptual site model. The UFP-QAPP must provide information regarding sample design, sample types, sample locations, interpretation scenarios, any field contingencies, sampling methodologies, and other sample handling techniques in sufficient detail to ensure collected data meet the project objectives.
