**The unit "JOB" as used in this Bidding Schedule is synonymous with the term "Lump Sum" used elsewhere within these plans and specifications.

Award will be made as a whole to one bidder.

NOTE 1: Bidders shall furnish unit prices for each item listed in the Schedule requiring a unit price. If the bidder fails to insert a unit price in the appropriate blank for required item(s), but does furnish an extended total, or an estimated amount for such item(s), the Government shall deem the unit price to be the quotient obtained by dividing the extended amount for that line item by the quantity. IF A BIDDER OMITS BOTH THE UNIT PRICE AND THE EXTENDED

TOTAL OR ESTIMATED AMOUNT FOR ANY ITEM, ITS BID SHALL BE DECLARED NON-

RESPONSIVE AND THEREFORE INELIGIBLE FOR AWARD.

NOTE 2: Any bid may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines in writing that it is unreasonable as to price. Unreasonableness of price includes not only total price of bid, but the price for individual line items as well. Any bid may be rejected if the prices for any line items or sub line items are materially unbalanced (See FAR 14.404-2).

00010-5 ED 14-026

NOTE 3: THE NOTICE TO PROCEED (NTP): The successful bidder is advised that performance and payment bonds shall be submitted in accordance with the time frame in block 12B of SF 1442. The NTP will be issued immediately after verification of acceptable performance and payment bonds. Within seven (7) days after issuance of the NTP, the Contractor shall initiate a meeting to discuss the submittal process with the Area or Resident Engineer or his authorized representative. Physical work cannot start until the Accident Prevention Program, Contractor Quality Control Plan, and other submittals which may be required, have been submitted and approved and all preliminary meetings called for under the contract, have been conducted.

NOTE 4: OPTIONAL WORK ITEMS. The Government may require the delivery of the numbered line item(s), identified in the schedule as OPTIONAL WORK Items, in the quantities and prices stated in the schedule. The Contracting Officer may exercise the OPTION WORK Items by written notice to the Contractor. If implemented, the Government will exercise the optional work no later than 400 calendar days after issuance of the Notice to Proceed. Bidders shall bid on all items including optional items (see “Evaluation of Options” FAR 52.217-5). Failure to bid on all items will result in a non-responsive bid. If implemented by the Contracting Officer’s Representative, all required work for Phase II (Optional) construction shall be performed by the Contractor as described herein and as shown on the drawings, at any time during the contract period.

NOTE 5: EVALUATION OF OPTIONS (FAR 52.217-5 JUL 1990). Except when it is determined in accordance with FAR 17.206(b) not to be in the Government’s best interests, the Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for this basic requirement. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). ** If an option is to be exercised at the time of contract award FAR17.208 shall be used in place of FAR 52.217-5

NOTE 6: TIME ADJUSTMENT IN THE EVENT OF THE EXERCISE OF OPTIONAL WORK. In the event that OPTION WORK items are exercised under the terms of the contract, the time required for completion of the contract shall be 540 calendar days in addition to the original contract duration of 500 calendar days established for the BASE WORK items specified in the Contract Clause entitled

“COMMENCEMENT, PROSECUTION, AND COMPLETION OF WORK (FAR 52-211-10 – APR 1984)”.

The time adjustment given as a result of exercising the option includes the one (1) year wait period between the completion of the base work and commencement of the option work.

EVALUATION OF SUBDIVIDED ITEMS.

Item Nos. 0006, 0008, 0012, 0018, and 0022 are subdivided into two or more estimated quantities and are to be separately priced. The Government will evaluate each of these items on the basis of total price of its sub-items.

(End of Clause)

VARIATIONS IN ESTIMATED QUANTITIES - SUBDIVIDED ITEMS.

The Variations in Estimated Quantities Subdivided Items clause is applicable only in Item Nos. 0006, 0008, 0012, 0018, and 0022.

a. Variations from the estimated quantity in the actual work performed under any second or subsequent sub-item or elimination of all work under such a second or subsequent sub-item will not be the basis for an adjustment in contract unit price.

b. Where the actual quantity of work performed for Item Nos. 0006, 0008, 0012, 0018, and 0022 is less than 85% of the quantity of the first sub-item listed under such items, the Contractor will be paid at the contract unit price for that sub-item for the actual quantity of work performed and, in addition, an equitable adjustment in contract price shall be made in accordance with the clause FAR 52.211-18, Variation in Estimated Quantity.

c. If the quantity of work performed under Item Nos. 0006, 0008, 0012, 0018, and 0022 exceeds 115% or is less than 85% of the total estimated quantity of the sub-items under that item, and/or if the quantity of work performed under the second sub-item or any subsequent sub-item under Item No. NONE exceeds 115% or is less than 85% of the estimated quantity of any such sub-item, and if such variation causes an increase or a decrease in the time required for performance of this contract, the contract completion time will be adjusted in accordance with the clause FAR 52.211-18, Variation in Estimated Quantity.

NOTES

(A) THIS PROCUREMENT IS A TOTAL HUB ZONE SET ASIDE

GOVERNMENT WILL DEEM HIS UNIT PRICE TO BE THE QUOTIENT OBTAINED BY

DIVIDING THE EXTENDED ESTIMATED AMOUNT FOR THAT LINE ITEM BY THE

ESTIMATED AMOUNT FOR ANY ITEM, HIS PROPOSAL WILL BE DECLARED

NONRESPONSIVE.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).

The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of "identifiers" that indicate whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local), a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate (weighted union average rate).

Union Rate Identifiers

A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" or "UAVG" denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:

PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union which prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1, 2014.

Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing this classification and rate.

Survey Rate Identifiers

Classifications listed under the "SU" identifier indicate that no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As this weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a new survey is conducted.

Union Average Rate Identifiers

Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate that no single majority rate prevailed for those classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010 08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the state.
