PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 REFERENCES

The publications listed below form a part of this specification to the extent referenced. The publications are referred to within the text by the basic designation only.

ASTM INTERNATIONAL (ASTM)

ASTM SI10 (2010) American National Standard for Use of the International

System of Units (SI): The Modern Metric System

1.2 GENERAL

This project includes metric units of measurements. The metric units used are the International System of Units (SI) developed and maintained by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM); the name International System of Units and the international abbreviation SI were adopted by the 11th CGPM in 1960. A number of circumstances require that both metric SI units and English inch-pound (I-P) units be included in a section of the specifications. When both metric and I-P measurements are included, the section may contain measurements for products that are manufactured to I-P dimensions and then expressed in mathematically converted metric value (soft metric) or, it may contain measurements for products that are manufactured to an industry recognized rounded metric (hard metric) dimensions but are allowed to be substituted by I-P products to comply with the law. Dual measurements are also included to indicate industry and/or Government standards, test values or other controlling factors, such as the code requirements where I-P values are needed for clarity or to trace back to the referenced standards, test values or codes.

1.3 USE OF MEASUREMENTS IN SPECIFICATIONS

Measurements in specifications shall be either in SI or I-P units as indicated, except for soft metric measurements or as otherwise authorized. When only SI or I-P measurements are specified for a product, the product shall be procured in the specified units (SI or I-P) unless otherwise authorized by the Contracting Officer. The Contractor is responsible for all associated labor and materials when authorized to substitute one system of units for another and for the final assembly and performance of the specified work and/or products.

1.3.1 Hard Metric (NOT USED)

A hard metric measurement is indicated by an SI value with no expressed correlation to an I-P value. Hard metric measurements are often used for field data such as distance from one point to another or distance above the floor. Products are considered to be hard metric when they are manufactured to metric dimensions or have an industry recognized metric designation.

1.3.2 Soft Metric

a. A soft metric measurement is indicated by an SI value which is a mathematical conversion of the I-P value shown in parentheses (e.g. 38.1 mm (1-1/2 inches)).

00 31 10 - 2 METRIC MEASUREMENTS

Soft metric measurements are used for measurements pertaining to products, test values, and other situations where the I-P units are the standard for manufacture, verification, or other controlling factor. The I-P value shall govern while the metric measurement is provided for information.

b. A soft metric measurement is also indicated for products that are manufactured in industry designated metric dimensions but are required by law to allow substitute I-P products. These measurements are indicated by a manufacturing hard metric product dimension followed by the substitute I-P equivalent value in parentheses (e.g., 190 x 190 x 390 mm (7-5/8 x 7-5/8 x 15-5/8 inches)).

1.3.3 Neutral

A neutral measurement is indicated by an identifier which has no expressed relation to either an SI or an I-P value (e.g., American Wire Gage (AWG) which indicates thickness but in itself is neither SI nor I-P).

1.4 COORDINATION

Discrepancies, such as mismatches or product unavailability, arising from use of both metric and non-metric measurements and discrepancies between the measurements in the specifications and the measurements in the drawings shall be brought to the attention of the Contracting Officer for resolution.

1.5 RELATIONSHIP TO SUBMITTALS

Submittals for Government approval or for information only shall cover the SI or I-P products actually being furnished for the project. Submit the required drawings and calculations in the same units used in the contract documents describing the product or requirement unless otherwise instructed or approved. Use ASTM SI10 as the basis for establishing metric measurements required to be used in submittals.

00 41 00 - 1 BID SCHEDULES

SECTION 00 41 00 – BID SCHEDULES

PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 BASIS OF BIDS

1.1.1 Unit Price Schedule

This contract will be solicited with bid items and unit prices required for each item of work. The following “Schedule of the Unit Price Work” is to be attached to the Standard Form SF 1442, "Solicitation, Offer and Award." See Contract Clauses, "FAR 52.212-11, Variation in Estimated Quantity" and "FAR 52.236-16, Quantity Surveys."

In the event there is a difference between a unit price and the extended total, the unit price will be held to be the intended bid. If the bidder shows only the total price but fails to enter a unit price, the total divided by the estimated quantity will be held to be the intended unit price.

Any bid price for items which are unbalanced as to price may be rejected as non-responsive. An unbalanced bid is one which is based on price significantly less than cost for some work and price which is significantly overstated for other work.

The unit price, or lump sum price, for each item listed shall constitute the full compensation for furnishing all plants, labor, materials, equipment, and performing any associated Contractor quality control, environmental protection, meeting safety requirements, tests and reports, incidental items, and for performing all work required for each item listed as shown in the plans and according to the specifications, complete and accepted. Each item shall include the costs of all items required, along with any item the contractor may deem required which may not be specifically mentioned or included in a particular lump sum or unit price item mentioned.

No claims for anticipated profits, loss of profits, or damage of any sort due to differences between the estimated and actual quantities of any item included in the original work will be allowed.

Quantities listed are estimated quantities and to be considered "not to exceed".

The Contractor is cautioned that express written approval prior to performing any work in excess of the estimated quantities shown must be received from the Contracting Officer.
