Each surety executing this instrument agrees that its obligations is not impaired by any extension(s) of the time for acceptance of the bid that the principal may grand to the Government.

**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).

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 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: RAPID VENDOR PAYMENT: Web based instructions for the submission of invoices;

http://www.mvn.usace.army.mil/BusinessWithUs/Contracting/RapidVendorPaym ent.aspx

NOTE 5: 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. 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.

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: TIME ADJUSTMENT IN THE EVENT OF THE EXERCISE OF

OPTIONAL WORK. In the event that the OPTIONAL WORK item is 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 items specified in the Contract Clause entitled “COMMENCEMENT, PROSECUTION, AND

COMPLETION OF WORK (FAR 52-211-10 – APR 1984)”.

EVALUATION OF SUBDIVIDED ITEMS.

Item No. 0015 and 0018 is 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. 0015 and 0018.

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. 0015 and 0018 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. 0015 and 0018 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. 0014 and 0017 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.
