D. Work Performed by Others. Describe the services or work to be furnished or performed by others such as design by architect-engineers or Government-Furnished Property/Equipment.

Weighted Factor Evaluation and Profit/Fee Calculation.

Use the Table Below for developing the appropriate Profit/Fee for each Task Order and individual task if under a Hybrid Task Order.

WEIGHTED FACTORS FOR PROFIT/FEE OBJECTIVE COMPUTATION

This weighted guideline is to assist the Offeror in developing profit/fee calculations.

Calculation Worksheet – The contractor will prepare a Fee or Profit proposal as necessary for each task order or sub-task using the worksheet provided in Section J as Technical Exhibit 4 and the information provided in the task order request for proposal. Fee or Profit will be calculated in accordance with the procedures described below.

Management Effort. This factor includes consideration of five (5) elements or services to be provided. These elements are assigned percentages and rated according to the Task Order complexity. The total of these percentages is a multiplier to the Management Effort weight of 35%.

a. Site Supervision. Rate proportionately from 0.02 – 0.10. Projects requiring a low degree of supervision will be rated lower than intensely supervised project. Average project will receive a 0.06.

b. Subcontracting. Rate proportionately from 0.02 – 0.10. Task Orders which include subcontracts greater than 60% of the Task Order total cost shall be weighted below 0.06. While projects with subcontracts total costs lower than 60% will be rated above 0.06. (i.e. 90% subcontracting would be rated near 0.02; 10% subcontracting would be rated near 0.10).

c. Project Planning and Estimating. Rate proportionately from 0.02 – 0.10. Projects requiring the prime contractor to conduct the majority of the planning will be weighted above 0.06, while projects with greater subcontractor planning (i.e. earthwork projects – dig and haul, landfill caps, etc.) will receive weights below 0.06. The average project will receive 0.06.

d. Common Services. Rate proportionately from 0.02 – 0.10. Projects where the prime contractor provides a majority of the common services for the project (i.e., security services, warehousing, common utilities, mobilization facilities, life support, etc.) will be rated higher than those where the majority are provided from other sources. The average project will receive a 0.06.

e. Project Participants. Rate proportionately from 0.02 – 0.10. Weights depend upon involvement by the following: Regulatory Agencies, other Architect-Engineers, Operating Contractors, Using Agencies, and assistance by the Prime Contractor’s home office (backup resources). Project with intense USACE support/decision making will be rated lower. Projects with extensive outside influence (i.e., regulatory requirement, mandated agreements, etc.) will receive a higher rating. The average project will receive a 0.06.

Nature of Work. The nature of the work will be weighted with an absolute value. Remedial

Investigations/Feasibility Studies efforts such as investigations, studies, and planning will receive 0.10. Remedial action or response projects will be weighted at 0.02. Separate Profit/Fee calculations will be developed if both investigation and remedial actions are in the same Task Order.

Complexity. The different weights of Task Order complexity range proportionately over four (4) categories.

a. Maximum Complexity – Weight 0.08 – 0.10. Task Orders for toxic wastes requiring Level A protection, requiring multiple disciplines or technologies, extensive unknowns, working in a hazardous or dangerous location such as a war zone, all operations involving first-of-a-kind processes and state-of-the-art controls, instrumentation, and technology. RI/FS efforts would typically include drilling an investigation well in a highly toxic environment, performing intrusive investigations where chemical or biological warfare munitions are suspected, or project with multiple phases of complicated interrelated designs or products.

b. Normal Complexity – Weight 0.06 – 0.08. Task Orders for normal hazardous waste sites requiring Level B protection or extensive Level C protection, gas cylinders, on-site mobile laboratories, installing water treatment plants or landfill caps, all operations involving normal technology, controls and instrumentation for the type of work, conventional UXO, MEC or MC removal actions on known or well characterized sites/ranges. RI/FS efforts would typically include normal investigation efforts were projects are typical projects within the industry.

c. Below Normal Complexity – Weight 0.04 – 0.05. Task Orders require minimal use of Level C protection, excavations, underground storage tank removals, operation and maintenance of water treatment facilities, work or activities that require little creative or professional requirements (i.e., common services – construction oversight, installing institutional controls such as fences and signage, etc.).

d. Minimal Complexity – Weight 0.02 – 0.04. No potential exposure to any hazardous wastes or explosives. Services would include using an existing work plan or well defined procedures to complete a task (i.e., basic air, soil or groundwater sampling, work plan, safety plan, geophysical prove-out area development).

Combined Classification – In cases where the Task Order includes efforts in more than one category, a combined classification will be computed for the entire Task Order by estimating the percentage of effort in each category and total overall.

Task Order Cost. A Task Order with a total cost of $1,000,000 dollars or less is weighted between 0.08 – 0.10. Task Orders with total cost ranging between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000 dollars is proportionally weighted from 0.06 – 0.08. Task Orders exceeding $5,000,000 is weighted between 0.02 – 0.06.

Schedule. Rate proportionately from 0.02 – 0.10. Task Orders for projects requiring rapid mobilization and completion, time-critical removal actions, closures driven by regulatory constraints and/or environmental constraints are weighted at 0.10. Other Task Orders are weighted proportionately in accordance with considered factors with those without time constraints. The average project will receive 0.06.

Location. The different weights are applied proportionately from 0.02 – 0.10. Task Order with extremely constrained sites, in remote or hazardous locations, or in climates having the extremes of hot or cold are weighted at 0.10. Work conducted in locations with no adverse conditions should be weighted at 0.02. The average project will receive 0.06.

Risk. Rate proportionately from 0.02 – 0.10. Task Orders for projects under FFP efforts where the risk is higher should be weighted between 0.07 – 0.10. Development of plans, reports, or other text documents will be rated lower than field work efforts performed under a FFP Task Order. For projects under CPFF efforts where the risk on the Contractor is inherently lower, the weighting will be between 0.06 – 0.02.
