The offeror shall use the electronic version in developing a proposal, selecting the appropriate CSI number(s) in the RS Means Cost works program for each individual item. R.S. Means is updated quarterly each year. The offeror must select the location. Typically, the City Cost

Indexes are electronically applied to the CSI items. However, for this contract, the offeror is required to use the USNA. The example shown below is for informational purposes only:

4.1.2.2. Example: Design and construct a 10,000 SF Building: Combination Warehouse & Offices (typical for 10 locations): 125’x 80’x20’H, masonry structure.

A. Install a 8’x8’ (Commercial) wood Overhead Door in each building; including trim, hardware, and painting. Doors shall also have electric openers (including hardware) installed.

B. Install 10 Exterior wood doors (3’x6’-8”), frames, trim and hardware in each structure. Doors shall be weatherstripped, stained and finished.

C. Each building (10) shall have its front face (125’x20’) painted (2 coats exterior latex)

D. Install 10 Wrought iron security Doors, including hardware, in same opening as exterior wood doors.

NOTE: Example provided is only a small representation of all items needed for a complete Task Order Proposal.

Using the appropriate electronic version of R.S. Means the offeror shall select the appropriate CSI line item number. Below shows the CSI numbers utilizing the “Bare Costs”:

4.1.3. Applying the Area Coefficient:

4.1.3.1. Next sum all of the Bare Cost Totals for all of the CSI items to get a total direct cost.

Then apply the Area Coefficient to get the Area Coefficient Total for the task order.

Net Sum of all Bare Cost Totals = $7,950,000.00 (Warehouse) + $25,839.20 (Overhead Door) + $11,606.20 (Exterior Doors) + $8,250.00 (Painting) = $7,995,695.40 Then the proposed Area Coefficient is applied.

Area Coefficient Total = Net Sum of all Bare Cost Totals X Area Coefficient

For Example A: If your Area Coefficient is a net decrease of 0.95, your Area Coefficient Total would be: $7,995,695.40 X 0.95 = $7,595,910.63

Or

For Example B: If your Area Coefficient is a net increase of 1.20, your Area Coefficient Total would be: $8,095,774.90 X 1.20 = $9,594,834.48

4.1.4. Applying Sales Taxes (where applicable):

4.1.4.1. Only for projects in North Carolina, offeror will apply state taxes pertinent to that city/county to material costs only. Taxes will be calculated and added to the Area Coefficient Total to calculate the Adjusted Area Coefficient Subtotal:

For example Sales Taxes are 7%:

Description Bare Material

Sales Tax (7%)

Wood overhead door, commercial sectional, including track, door, hardware and trim electrically operated $15,772.80 $1,104.10

Single solid wood colonial door, 6 panel fir, 6’-8” X 3’-0” with food frame and trim. Stained & finished including hardware and weatherstripping

$7,839.60 $548.77

Spray painting siding: Primer & 2 coats exterior latex $2,500.00 $175.00

Total Taxes $1,827.87

Adjusted Area Coefficient Subtotal = Area Coefficient Total + Total Taxes Example A: $7,595,910.63 + $1,827.87 = $7,597,738.50

Example B: $9,594,834.48 + $1,827.87 = $9,596,662.35

4.1.5. Including Non-Priced Item:

4.1.5.1. Next offeror will submit three (3) itemized quotes list for items not located in R.S. Means.

Non-Priced Items will be negotiated and added to the Adjusted Area Coefficient Subtotal to calculate the Adjusted Area Coefficient Total:

The Wrought Iron Screen was not found in R.S. Means, therefore, three quotes were submitted.

Quote Description Qty Unit Materials Installation Unit Cost Total

Wrought Iron Security Doors, hardware not included in cost

10 EA $333.00 $89.00 $422.00 $4,220.00

(3’X6’8”) Wrought Iron Security Doors, installed; including hardware

10 EA $540.00 $129.00 $669.00 $6,690.00

Wrought Iron Security

Doors, (3’X 6’-8”) including hardware

10 EA $718.00 $119.00 $837.00 $8,370.00

Quote Number 1 was not selected because the price did not include hardware; Quote Number 2 was selected because all scope requirements were met; Quote Number 3 was not selected, although the scope requirements were met, the price was higher than Quote Number 2.

Adjusted Area Coefficient Total = Adjusted Area Coefficient Subtotal + Non-Priced Item(s) Example A: $7,597,738.50 + $6,690.00 = $7,604,428.50

Example B: $9,596,662.35 + $6,690.00 = $9,603,352.35

4.1.6. Applying Field Office Overhead (FOOH):

4.1.6.1. Next offeror will submit an itemized list of FOOH expenses utilizing R.S. Means. FOOH will be negotiated and added to the Adjusted Area Coefficient Total to calculate the Prime Total Direct Cost (PTDC):

For example if your (negotiated) FOOH is $5,000:

PTDC = Adjusted Area Coefficient Total + FOOH Example A: $7,604,428.50 + $5,000 = $7,609,428.50 Example B: $9,603,352.35 + $5,000 = $9,608,352.35

4.1.7. Applying Home Office Overhead (HOOH):

4.1.7.1. After calculating the Subtotal, the (fixed) HOOH will be calculated.

For this Example if your HOOH is 5%:

Construction Subtotal = PTDC x HOOH

Example A: $7,609,428.50 x 5% = ($380,471.42) + $7,609,428.50 = $7,989,899.92 Example B: $9,608,352.35 x 5% = ($480,417.62) + $9,608,352.35 = $10,088,769.97

4.1.8. Applying Profit:

4.1.8.1. After calculating the Construction Subtotal the (negotiated) Profit will be applied to achieve the Construction Total for the Task Order.

For this Example if your Profit is 8%:

Construction Total = (Construction Subtotal x Profit) Example A: $7,989,899.92 x 8% = ($639,191.99) + $7,989,899.92 = $8,629,091.92

[$8,629,092]* Example B: $10,088,769.97 x 8% = ($807,101.60) + $10,088,769.97 = $10,895,871.56

[$10,895,872]*

*For ease of calculations, please round final numbers.

4.1.9. Calculating Design Fee:

4.1.9.1. After achieving the Construction Total for the Task Order, Design Fee will be calculated as a percentage of the Construction Total. Design Fees are located in R.S. Means and are based on a percentage of the construction cost. These fees will be negotiated for each Task Order and added as a separate line item on the Offerors proposal.

For this Example if your Design Fee is 4% of the construction cost then the design cost is calculated as:

Design Costs = Construction Total x Fee % Example A: $8,629,091.92 x 4% = $345,163.68 [$345,164]*

Example B: $10,895,871.56 x 4% = $435,834.86 [$435,835]*

*For ease of calculations, please round final numbers.

5. HOME OFFICE OVERHEAD

5.1. Home Office Overhead shall be represented as a percentage increase to the Applied Coefficient Total. The proposed rate will apply to ALL task orders issued under this contract.

5.2. Offeror’s shall propose a Home Office Overhead rate for the two (2) year base period and the three 1 year option periods. The rates awarded will be locked-in for the life of the contract and will not change.

6. PRICE EVALUATION PROCEDURE

6.1. Area Coefficient Estimated Capacity Values are identified for each location in the following table. The Estimated Capacity Value will be multiplied by the corresponding proposed area coefficient to determine a total for each location. These Applied Area Coefficient Totals will then be multiplied by the Home Office Overhead Rate for the Base Period only. These Evaluated Totals will then be added together to obtain the total evaluated price for Schedule A.

6.2. The Home Office Overhead Rates proposed for Option Periods 1, 2 a n d 3 WILL NOT be included in the evaluated price, but will be evaluated to ensure REASONABLENESS

ONLY.
