EP-1110-1-8 (2009) Construction Equipment Ownership and Operating Expense Schedule

1.2 COMMENCEMENT, PROSECUTION, AND COMPLETION OF WORK

The Contractor shall be required to (a) commence work under this contract within 10 calendar days after the date the Contractor receives the notice to proceed, (b) prosecute the work diligently, and (c) complete the entire work ready for use not later than 345 calendar days after the date the Contractor receives the notice to proceed. The time stated for completion shall include final cleanup of the premises. (FAR 52.211-10)

1.3 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES-CONSTRUCTION

(a) If the Contractor fails to complete the work within the time specified in the contract, the Contractor shall pay liquidated damages to the Government in the amount of $1,250.00 for each calendar day of delay until the work is completed or accepted.

(b) If the Government terminates the Contractor's right to proceed, liquidated damages will continue to accrue until the work is completed. These liquidated damages are in addition to excess costs of repurchase under the Termination clause. (FAR 52.211-12)

1.4 EXCEPTION TO LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

Since the Contractor's obligations specified in Section 32 92 00.00 09 EXISTING TURF MAINTENANCE AND NEW TURF ESTABLISHMENT may extend beyond the completion time specified in paragraph COMMENCEMENT, PROSECUTION, AND COMPLETION OF WORK, these periods and the additional work, if required, will be exempt from liquidated damages provided all other work has been completed.

1.5 CONTRACT DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS

(a) The Government will provide to the Contractor, without charge, one set of contract drawings and specifications, except publications incorporated into the technical provisions by reference, in electronic or paper media as chosen by the Contracting Officer.

DOCUMENT 00 80 00.00 09 Page 2

(1) Check all drawings furnished immediately upon receipt;

(2) Compare all drawings and verify the figures before laying out the work;

(3) Promptly notify the Contracting Officer of any discrepancies;

(4) Be responsible for any errors that might have been avoided by complying with this paragraph (b); and

(5) Reproduce and print contract drawings and specifications as needed.

(c) In general --

(1) Large-scale drawings shall govern small scale drawings; and

(2) The Contractor shall follow figures marked on drawings in preference to scale measurements.

(d) Omissions from the drawings or specifications or the misdescription of details of work which are manifestly necessary to carry out the intent of the drawings and specifications, or that are customarily performed, shall not relieve the Contractor from performing such omitted or misdescribed details of the work. The Contractor shall perform such details as if fully and correctly set forth and described in the drawings and specifications.

(e) The work shall conform to the specifications and the contract drawings identified on the INDEX TO DRAWINGS shown on Drawing No.

G-001 entitled COVER SHEET.

(DFARS 252.236-7001)

1.6 CORRESPONDENCE AND ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION

For ease and speed of communications, both the Government and Contractor shall exchange correspondence and all other documents duplicate in both hard paper copy and electronic format. Inclusion of an electronic copy is in addition to any other parts of the contract that may specify a minimum number of hard copies to be submitted, such as for shop drawing transmittals. Electronic submission can be accomplished by one of the following methods: email, file upload to the following DoD Safe website https://safe.apps.mil/, or through the Resident Management System - Contractor Mode (RMS-CM) software interface with the Resident Management System (RMS). Format for electronic submissions will be in portable document format (.pdf). File naming will be determined by the Contracting Officer and presented at the Preconstruction Conference. Documents include all general correspondence, administrative plans, all material submittals including shop drawings, progress schedules, submittal registers, requests for information (RFIs), Quality Control (QC) test results, pay requests, etc. Paper documents will govern, in the event of discrepancy with the electronic version. Generally, paper documents will also govern where effective receipt dates are required, such as contractor claims submitted under the Disputes clause of the contract and progress payment requests. However in the case of administrative plans, shop drawings and other submittals transmitted for government review, both the electronic and hard copies are required to begin the review process, so the effective date of receipt will be the date when both the electronic

DOCUMENT 00 80 00.00 09 Page 3 and hard copies are received by the government.

1.7 (S-102) CONTRACTOR SUPPLY AND USE OF ELECTRONIC SOFTWARE FOR

PROCESSING DAVIS-BACON ACT CERTIFIED LABOR PAYROLLS

The requirements for preparing, processing and providing certified labor payrolls are established by the Davis-Bacon Act as stated in FAR 52.222-8, PAYROLLS AND BASIC RECORDS and FAR 52.222-13, COMPLIANCE

WITH DAVIS-BACON AND RELATED ACT REGULATIONS.

If the contractor elects to use an electronic Davis-Bacon payroll processing system, then the contractor shall be responsible for obtaining and providing for all access, licenses, and other services required to provide for receipt, processing, certifying, electronically transmitting to the Government, and storing weekly payrolls and other data required for the contractor to comply with Davis-Bacon and related Act regulations.

When the contractor uses an electronic Davis-Bacon payroll system, the electronic payroll service shall be used by the contractor to prepare, process, and maintain the relevant payrolls and basic records during all work under this construction contract and electronic payroll service shall be capable of preserving these payrolls and related basic records for the required 3 years after contract completion. If the contractor chooses to use an electronic Davis-Bacon payroll system, then the contractor shall obtain and provide electronic system access to the Government, as required to comply with the Davis-Bacon and related Act regulations over the duration of this construction contract. The access shall include electronic review access by the Government contract administration office to the electronic payroll processing system used by the contractor.

The contractor's provision and use of an electronic payroll processing system shall meet the following basic functional criteria: commercially available; compliant with appropriate Davis Bacon Act payroll provisions in the FAR; able to accommodate the required numbers of employees and subcontractors planned to be employed under the contract; capable of producing an Excel spreadsheet-compatible electronic output of weekly payroll records (format at http://rmssupport.helpserve.com/) for export in an Excel spreadsheet to be imported into the Contractor's Resident Management System - Contractor Mode (RMS-CM), that in turn shall export payroll data to the Government's Resident Management System (RMS);

demonstrated security of data and data entry rights; ability to produce contractor-certified electronic versions of weekly payroll data; ability to identify erroneous entries and track the data/time of all versions of the certified Davis Bacon payrolls submitted to the government over the life of the contract; capable of generating a durable record copy, that is, a CD or DVD and PDF file record of data from the system database at end of the contract closeout. This durable record copy of data from the electronic Davis-Bacon payroll processing system shall be provided to the Government during contract closeout.

All contractor-incurred costs related to the contractor's provision and use of an electronic payroll processing service shall be included in the contractor's price for the overall work under the contract. The costs for Davis-Bacon Act compliance using electronic payroll processing services shall not be a separately bid/proposed or reimbursed item under this contract.

1.11 PAYMENT FOR MOBILIZATION AND DEMOBILIZATION

(a) The Government will pay all costs for the mobilization and demobilization of all of the Contractor's plant and equipment at the contract lump sum price for this item.

(1) Sixty percent of the lump sum price upon completion of the Contractor's mobilization at the work site.

(2) The remaining forty percent upon completion of demobilization.

(b) The Contracting Officer may require the Contractor to furnish cost data to justify this portion of the bid if the Contracting Officer believes that the percentages in subparagraphs (a)(1) and (2) of this clause do not bear a reasonable relation to the cost of the work in this contract.

(1) Failure to justify such price to the satisfaction of the Contracting Officer will result in payment, as determined by the Contracting Officer, of--

(i) Actual mobilization costs at completion of mobilization;

(ii) Actual demobilization costs at completion of demobilization;

and

(iii) The remainder of this item in the final payment under this contract.

(2) The Contracting Officer's determination of the actual costs in paragraph (b)(1) of this clause is not subject to appeal.

(b) Allowable cost for construction and marine plant and equipment in sound workable condition owned or controlled and furnished by a Contractor or subcontractor at any tier shall be based on actual cost data for each piece of equipment or groups of similar serial and series for which the Government can determine both ownership and operating costs from the contractor's accounting records. When both ownership and operating costs cannot be determined for any piece of equipment or groups of similar serial or series equipment from the Contractor's accounting records, costs for that equipment shall be based upon the applicable provisions of EP 1110-1-8, Construction Equipment Ownership and Operating Expense Schedule, Region III.

DOCUMENT 00 80 00.00 09 Page 6

Working conditions shall be considered to be average for determining equipment rates using the schedule unless specified otherwise by the Contracting Officer. For equipment not included in the schedule, rates for comparable pieces of equipment may be used or a rate may be developed using the formula provided in the schedule. For forward pricing, the schedule in effect at the time of negotiations shall apply. For retroactive pricing, the schedule in effect at the time the work was performed shall apply.

(c) Equipment rental costs are allowable, subject to the provisions of FAR 31.105(d)(ii) and FAR 31.205-36, Rental Costs. Rates for equipment rented from an organization under common control, lease-purchase arrangements, and sale-leaseback arrangements, will be determined using the schedule, except that actual rates will be used for equipment leased from an organization under common control that has an established practice of leasing the same or similar equipment to unaffiliated lessees.

(d) When actual equipment costs are proposed and the total amount of the pricing action exceeds the SAT, the contracting officer shall request the Contractor to submit either certified cost or pricing data, or partial/limited data, as appropriate. The data shall be submitted on Standard Form 1411, Contract Pricing Proposal Cover Sheet.

1.14 GENERAL SECURITY REQUIREMENTS AND GUIDANCE

The security requirements described below apply to all contract personnel (including employees of the prime Contractor (“Contractor”) and all subcontractor employees) supporting the performance requirements of this contract. The Contractor is responsible for compliance with these security requirements. Questions regarding security matters shall be addressed to the designated Government representative (e.g., Contracting Officer Representative (COR), Requiring Activity (RA) representative, or Contracting Officer (if a COR or other RA representative is not appointed)). Contract personnel are critical to the overall security and safety of US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) installations, facilities and activities, and security awareness training contributes to those efforts.

The Department of Defense (DoD) and Army security training requirements specified below, if applicable, are performance requirements; all applicable contract personnel shall complete initial training within 30 days of contract award or the date new contract personnel begin performance on the contract. Within five business days from the completion of training, the Contractor shall provide written documentation (e.g., email or memorandum) to the Government representative. The documentation shall include the names of contract personnel trained and which training they completed; the Contractor shall maintain training records as part of their contract files and be prepared to provide copies of training certificates to the Government representative. Contractor personnel and vehicles are subject to search when entering federal installations.

Additionally, all contract personnel shall comply with Force Protection Condition (FPCON) measures, Random Antiterrorism Measures (commonly referred to as “RAMs”), and Health Protection Condition (HPCON) measures.

The Contractor is responsible for meeting performance requirements during elevated FPCON and/or HPCON levels in accordance with applicable RA plans and procedures, to include identifying mission essential and non-mission essential personnel. In addition to the changes otherwise authorized by the changes clause of this contract, should the FPCON or HPCON levels at any individual facility or installation change, the Government may implement security changes that affect contract personnel. The Contractor shall ensure all contract personnel are aware of their security responsibilities, including any site-specific requirements identified in local policies or procedures.

1.15 SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY REPORTING TRAINING (E.G., IWATCH, CORPSWATCH, OR

SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING)

All contract personnel shall receive initial and annual refresher training from the RA representative on the local suspicious activity reporting program. This locally developed training provides contract personnel with general information on suspicious behavior, and guidance on reporting suspicious activity to the project manager, security representative or law enforcement entity.

1.16 PRE-SCREEN CANDIDATES USING E-VERIFY PROGRAM

Contractors shall comply with the requirements set forth in FAR clause 52.222-54 Employment Eligibility Verification and FAR Subpart 22.18 in using the E-Verify Program at (https://www.e-verify.gov/) (website subject

DOCUMENT 00 80 00.00 09 Page 8 to change) to meet the contract employment eligibility requirements.

Contractors are encouraged to cooperate with Federal and State agencies responsible for enforcing labor requirements to include eligibility for employment under United States immigration laws in accordance with FAR 22.102-1(i). An initial list of verified/ eligible candidates shall be provided to the COR no later than three business days after the initial contract award. When contracts are with individuals, the individuals will be required to complete a Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, and submit it to the Contracting Officer to become part of the official contract file.

1.17 NON-U.S. CITIZENS WORKING ON GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS

Government Approval MUST be obtained PRIOR to any non-U.S. Citizen being permitted to work on a government contract. The Contractor must submit a letter requesting approval via the Contracting Officer/Contracting Officer Representative to the Vicksburg District Security Officer. The letter must include the contract number, period of performance, location(s) of work performance and attach a copy of the individual’s passport and visa/work authorization documents.

1.2 PARTNERING

The Government encourages formation of informal project partnerships on all projects. A project partnership strives to utilize a cooperative working relationship to jointly establish and effectively reach mutual project execution goals. The partnering process will in no way relax or stiffen the requirements of the contract, but will enhance the likelihood of success through improved working relationships and joint risk management. The possibility of an informal partnership may be discussed at the Pre-construction Conference for this project.
