HIS BID WILL BE DECLARED NON-RESPONSIVE.

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 after Notice of Award. The NTP will be issued immediately after verification of acceptable performance and payment bonds. Within 24 hours 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 Plan, 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: 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 subline items are materially unbalanced (See FAR 14.404-2).

NOTE 5: OPTIONAL WORK ITEMS: The Government may require the delivery of, in whole or part, the Optional Item(s) 0004 thru 0008. The Government may exercise the Optional Work Item(s) by written notice to the Contractor. If the Government activates an Optional Work Item(s), the activation will occur while the Contractor’s plant is within the limits of work.

No additional mobilization/ demobilization will be paid to the Contractor for the Optional work.

NOTE 6: 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).

NOTE 7: Any VEQ analysis under Option Items 0004AA and 0006AA will be based upon the variation in the line item quantity provided in the Bid Schedule above, and not a variation in any lesser quantity actually awarded under that option line item.

NOTE 8: The quantity shown in Item 0008 is for evaluation purposes only; payment for this line item will be based on the actual quantity used and they shall be excluded from the “VARIATIONS IN ESTIMATED QUANTITIES” clause.

NOTE 9: TIME ADJUSTMENT IN THE EVENT OF THE EXERCISE OF OPTIONAL

WORK. In the event that the OPTIONAL WORK items are exercised under the terms of the contract, the time required for completion of the contract shall be 35 calendar days for Items 0004 and 0005; 40 calendar days for Items 0006 and 0007 in addition to the original contract duration of 190 calendar days established for the BASE WORK items specified in Section 00800, SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS paragraph entitled “COMMENCEMENT, PROSECUTION, AND COMPLETION OF WORK”. In the event that OPTION WORK item 0008 is exercised, the time required for completion of the contract will not be adjusted but shall be performed concurrent with original contract duration.

EVALUATION OF SUBDIVIDED ITEMS

Item Numbers 0002, 0004, and 0006 are subdivided into two (2) 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 Numbers 0002, 0004, and 0006.

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. 0002, 0004, and 0006 are 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. 0002, 0004, and 0006 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 Nos. (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.
