NOTE 1: The award will be made as a whole to one bidder.

NOTE 2: 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 3: Any bid may be rejected if the Contracting Officer, in writing, determines that it is unreasonable as to price.

Similarly, physical work cannot start on subsequent Task Orders until Task Order specific supplements to the Accident Prevention Plan, Contractor Quality Control Plan, and other submittals which may be required, have been submitted and approved and all Task Order specific preliminary meetings called for under the contract, have been conducted.

NOTE 5: OPTIONAL WORK ITEMS. The Government may require the delivery of Item Nos.

The Government will exercise the Optional Work in accordance with the Contract Clause in Section 00700 entitled “OPTION FOR INCREASED QUANTITY- SEPERATELY PRICED LINE ITEM” (FAR 52.217-7, MAR 1989). Failure to bid on all items will result in a non-responsive bid.

NOTE 6: EVALUATION OF OPTIONS (FAR 52.217-5 JUL 1990). 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: TIME ADJUSTMENT IN THE EVENT OF THE EXERCISE OF OPTIONAL WORK. In the event that the OPTIONAL WORK item Nos. 0004, 0005, and 0006 are exercised under the terms of the contract, the time required for completion of the contract will not be adjusted but shall be performed concurrent with the original contract duration of 365 calendar days established for the BASE WORK.

NOTE 8: Initial mobilization and demobilization costs will be paid for by the Government. Any subsequent mobilization and demobilization costs will be paid for by the Government provided that (a) the Contractor has completed all the work assigned in all the Task Orders issued and the Contractor has demobilized, or (b) the Government has suspended the Contractor and the Contractor has demobilized. Descriptions of the anticipated work is specified in Section 01100, paragraph entitled “LOCATIONS AND ANTICIPATED WORK”.

NOTE 9: Attention is directed to the Section 00700 Contract Clause entitled "ORDER LIMITATIONS" (FAR 52.216-19, Oct 1995) for Task Order limitations.

NOTE 10: Task Orders will be issued by electronic communications (e-mail or facsimile) by the Contracting Officer.

NOTE 11: All quantities are estimated and are to be used for bid evaluation purposes only.

Estimated quantities of individual contract line items may vary significantly either up or down depending on the work required during the one-year contract period as long as the earnings limitations of the contract are not exceeded.

NOTE 12: Any travel and lodging costs of Contractor personnel shall be considered in the Contractor’s pricing, and shall be distributed among the individual contract line items.

NOTE 13: Bidders are cautioned to read the Section 00700 Contract Clause entitled “ALTERNATE A, SYSTEM FOR AWARD MANAGEMENT” (DFARS 252.204-7004, Feb 2014).

NOTE 14: This Pricing Schedule is for evaluation purposes only to determine the lowest bidder.
