TIME EXTENSIONS FOR UNUSUALLY SEVERE WEATHER

This provision specifies the procedure for the determination of time extensions for unusually severe weather in accordance with CLAUSE: DEFAULT (FIXED-PRICE CONSTRUCTION) of the CONTRACT CLAUSES. In order for the Contracting Officer to award a time extension under this clause, the following conditions must be satisfied:

(1) 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.

(2) 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.

The following schedule of monthly anticipated adverse weather delays is based on National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) or similar data for the project location and will constitute the base line for monthly weather time evaluations. A weather delay day is any day when the maximum temperature does not exceed 32 degrees Fahrenheit or when 0.10 inch or more of precipitation occurs. The Contractor's progress schedule must reflect these anticipated adverse weather delays in all weather dependent activities.

Monthly Anticipated Adverse Weather Delay Work Days Based on (7) Day Work Week

Upon acknowledgment of the Notice to Proceed (NTP) and continuing throughout the contract, the Contractor shall record on the daily CQC report, the occurrence of adverse weather and resultant impact to normally scheduled work.

Actual adverse weather delay days must prevent work on critical activities for 50 percent or more of the Contractor's scheduled workday. The number of actual adverse weather delay days shall include days impacted by actual adverse weather (even if adverse weather occurred in previous month), be calculated chronologically from the first to the last day of each month, and be recorded as full days. If the number of actual adverse weather delay days exceeds the number “Anticipated Adverse Weather Delay Work Days”, above, the Contracting Officer will convert any qualifying delays to calendar days, giving full consideration for equivalent fair weather work days and issue a modification in accordance with the CLAUSE: DEFAULT (FIXED PRICE CONSTRUCTION) of the

CONTRACT CLAUSES.

PROFIT: Alternate structured approach for Construction contracts. [UDG 5115.404-73-1]

(1) The following alternate structured approach shall be used for all firm-fixed price construction in accordance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 215.404-4(b)(1). For all other actions, the weighted guidelines method described at DFARS 215.404-71 shall be used.

Factor Rate Weight Value

Degree of Risk 20 Relative Difficulty of Work 15 Size of Job 15 Period of Performance 15 Contractor’s Investment 5 Assistance by Government 5 Subcontracting 25

TOTAL 100%

(2) Based on the circumstances of the procurement action, each of the above factors shall be weighted from 0.03 to 0.12 as indicated below. "Value" shall be obtained by multiplying the rate by the weight. The value column, when totaled, indicates the fair and reasonable profit percentage under the circumstances of the particular procurement.

(a) Degree of risk. Where the work involves no risk or the degree of risk is very small, the weighting should be 0.03; as the degree of risk increases, the weighting should be increased up to a maximum of 0.12. Lump sum items shall generally have a higher weight than unit price items. Consider the nature of subcontractors, amount and type of labor included in costs and whether the negotiation is before or after performance of work. Modifications, settled before the fact, have a much greater risk than those settled after the fact. A weight of 0.03 is appropriate for after the fact equitable adjustments and/or settlements.

(b) Relative Difficulty of Work. If the work is difficult and complex, the weight should be 0.12 and should be proportionately reduced to 0.03 on the simplest of jobs. This factor is tied in to some extent with the degree of risk.

Other things to consider are the nature of the work, by whom it is to be done (i.e., subcontractors, consultants), etc.

(c) Size of Job. Work estimated up to $100,000 shall be weighted at 0.12. Work estimated between $100,000 and $5,000,000 shall be proportionately weighted from 0.12 to 0.05. Work from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000 shall be weighted at 0.04. Work in excess of $10,000,000 shall be weighted at 0.03. It should be noted that control of fixed expenses generally improves with increased job magnitude.

(d) Period of Performance. Work not to exceed 1 month is to be weighted at 0.03. Durations between 1 and 24 months are to be proportionately weighted between 0.03 and 0.12. Work in excess of 24 months is to be weighted at 0.12.

(e) Contractor's Investment. To be weighted from 0.03 to 0.12 on the basis of below average, average and above average. Consider the amount of subcontracting, Government-furnished property or data such as surveys, method of making progress payments, and any mobilization payment items.

(f) Assistance by Government. To be weighted from 0.12 to 0.03 on the basis of average to above average. Consider use of Government-owned property, equipment and facilities, expediting assistance, etc.

(g) Subcontracting. To be weighted inversely proportional to the amount of subcontracting. Where 80 percent or more of the work is to be subcontracted use 0.03. The weighting should be increased proportionately to 0.12 where all the work is performed by the contractor's own forces.

BONDING

PERFORMANCE AND PAYMENT BONDS: Performance and payment bonds will only apply to the onsite construction installation work. Bonds must be furnished within 10 calendar days after the Contractor receives notice to proceed with the construction portion of the work. The Contractor must have the capability to bond 100% of the construction CLINs over the anticipated performance period; however, bonding will be permitted on a rolling, per unit basis such that after each unit, or pair of units, is installed and the one year construction warranty period ends for that unit or pair of units, bonding will commence for the next unit(s) in the queue for installation.

Performance and payment bonds will only apply to the onsite construction installation work. Bonds must be furnished within 10 calendar days after contract award. The Contractor must have the capability to bond 100% of the construction CLINs over the anticipated performance period; however, bonding will be permitted on a rolling, per valve basis such that after each valve, or set of valves, is installed and the one-year construction warranty period ends for that valve or set of valves. Bonding for the next set of valves must be provided at least 14 days prior to commencing work on those valves.
