NOTES TO BIDDERS

Note 1: In order to be considered for award, the offeror must submit a coefficient for each line item above. The Government uses these multipliers to determine the price of work for each task on individual delivery orders. The prices established in the RS MEANS® (current year) database bare costs (which means no markup for overhead and profit (O&P)) column, will be multiplied by the City Cost Index Weighted Average Total for the closest city, and the coefficient to arrive at the actual price for a unit of work. The coefficients shall be represented as"net", a "decrease from" or an "increase to" the prices listed in the RS MEANS®. An offer of "net" would be represented as "1.0." An example of a decrease from the prices in RS MEANS® would be "0.98." An example of an increase above the prices listed in the RS MEANS® would be "1.10."

Note 2: If the Government directs a work schedule during nonstandard hours, then the coefficients entered for the nonstandard hours, as appropriate, shall be applied against those items of work, which will be performed during the nonstandard hours. The price for the remaining items of work is calculated using the coefficients entered for standard hour work, as appropriate. The term "nonstandard working hours" is not to be interpreted as "overtime."

Note 3: Offerors’ Price Proposal will be evaluated as a weighted sum of Bid Schedule Coefficients multiplied by the Project Distribution percent.

PROJECT DISTRIBUTION

It is estimated that the maximum dollar amount of this contract will be distributed as follows:

Unit Price Book Costs:

85% Work accomplished during standard working hours at JBC, SC 2% Work accomplished during non-standard working hours at JBC, SC

6% Work accomplished during standard working hours at St. Stephen Power House, SC 2% Work accomplished during non-standard hours at St. Stephen Power House, SC

Non Pre-Priced Item Costs:

5% Non Pre-Priced Work

JOB ORDER CONTRACT (JOC)

CHARLESTON& ST. STEPHEN,

SOUTH CAROLINA STATEMENT

OF WORK

1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

1.1 The contractor shall provide all management, labor, material, equipment, (unless furnished by the Government), transportation, and supervision to accomplish simultaneous projects for a broad range of maintenance, repair and minor construction work in the local Charleston, SC and St Stephens area.

Work will be accomplished for military and federal government customers to include but not limited to Army, Navy, Air Force, NNPTC, NPTU, NMC, BRIG, SPAWAR, ASLAC, SDDC, Veterans Affairs, Medical Clinic Charleston, Department of State, and Army Corps of Engineers. Facilities include, but are not limited to, research and development, medical, academic, secure areas, waterfront, administrative, institutional, industrial, etc., as well as their corresponding support facilities; infrastructure such as pavements, roads, parking, drainage systems, utility systems, and force protection. Prompt response and execution of all task orders is required. The Contracting Officer (KO) will issue a request for proposal (RFP) describing basic requirements for each individual task order (TO) on an as needed basis. Following review of the Contractor’s TO proposal, the KO will negotiate with the Contractor, and award an individual TO. The Contractor will be required to maintain a local office to facilitate receipt of each RFP and provide other services as described in Section

3.0 – PERFORMANCE CAPABILITIES.

1.2 The Government will provide design information or performance based requirements for each RFP. The Contractor shall complete the incidental design as construction shop drawings and manufacturers data (design does not require stamped drawings by licensed professional engineers) and complete as- built drawings. The Contractor shall provide sufficient technical support and project management to assure quality and completeness of TO proposals, accommodate a number of concurrent “active” projects, provide flexibility of subcontractor pool to handle rapid increases in work volume, process submittals in a timely manner, and perform according to schedule. The contractor shall be required to manage and execute the normal workload of up to thirty-five plus (35+) concurrent projects, and up to seventy plus (70+) projects annually. The contractor may on occasion be required to provide for large unexpected fluctuations in the workload. It is estimated that less than five percent (5%) of all work will be required during other than normal working hours.

1.3 The government will not use this contract solely to satisfy equipment requirements. Task orders issued hereunder, however, may include incidental requirements for equipment that are reasonable components of construction projects.

1.4 Simplified TO Execution:

1.4.1 Pre-Construction Administrative Submittals: There shall be two categories of Pre-Construction administrative submittals for Government review:

(1) Base Contract Submittals and (2) TO Submittals. Base Contract Submittals shall be provided within fifteen (15) calendar days of award of the Base Contract and will serve to reduce subsequent TO paperwork, maximize TO execution efficiency, and speed commencement of field work. The Base Contract Submittals will address general administrative contract requirements, plans, procedures and shall thoroughly address the type of work and situations typically encountered for this type of work. TO Submittals will be submitted as Addendums to the Base Contract Submittals and will address TO specific administrative requirements, plans, and procedures. TO Submittals shall be submitted to the Government no more than 15 calendar days after Notice to Proceed (NTP) is given on the specific task order. TO Submittals will appoint personnel, address specific hazards, controls, and features of work. Example administrative submittals for each category are below:

Base Contract Submittals:

- Contractor Quality Control (QC) Plan

- Accident Prevention Plan (APP)

- Environmental Protection Plan (EPP)

- Master Project Schedule

TO Submittals:

- QC Plan Addendum

- APP Addendum (with AHAs)

- EPP Addendum

- Bar Chart Schedule

- Construction Site Plan

- Asbestos Abatement/Control Plan

- Lead Abatement/Control Plan

- Outage Requests

- Permits

- O&M Manuals

- Warranty Data

- As-Built Drawings

1.4.2 Consistent Format for Task order Statement of Work: The Government will use a template Statement of Work in preparing RFPs to outline minimum requirements. A draft of this template is provided as Appendix B.

2.0 WORK BY THE GOVERNMENT: The Government is not obligated to issue any particular type of work under this contract and reserves the right to accomplish work using Government workforces or by other contracts, as the Government deems necessary or desirable, and to do so will not breach or otherwise violate this contract.

3.1.3 Upon notification from the Contracting Officer (KO) of a requirement, the Contractor shall prepare and submit a task order proposal to the KO within ten (10) working days from the date of the task order request. If the KOdetermines the requirement to be a quick response requirement, the Contractor shall submit the TO proposal to the KO within five (5) working days. For more complex projects, additional time may be granted by the KO.

3.1.4 PRE-BID SITE VISITS: The Contractor shall make every effort to have all applicable and necessary parties at the official Pre-Bid site walk as deemed necessary by the Contractor in order to minimize or eliminate the need for follow-up site visits.

Unless dedicated personnel are required in the TO, the QCM, PS, and SSHO may be a single person if they meet the qualifications of each position. If dedicated personnel are required for a particular TO it will be considered a Non Pre-Priced Item (NPI) for that TO and therefore should not be included in the coefficients. If there is evidence the appointed personnel cannot fulfill all contract requirements while serving in multiple roles, they shall be replaced, supplemented, or roles separated as directed by the KO at no additional cost to the Government.

The QCM, PS, and SSHO shall have full mobility and reasonable access to effectively provide oversight and sustain a daily physical presence over ALL active TO project sites, unless (1) a TO specifically requires a dedicated QCM, PS, and/or SSHO to be their sole, full-time responsibility.
