*Denotes a change from the previous Bidding Schedule.

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 subline items are materially unbalanced (See FAR 14.404-2, Rejection of Individual Bids).

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: 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 the basic requirement. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the options.

NOTE 5: OPTION FOR INCREASED QUANTITY -- SEPARATELY PRICED LINE ITEM (FAR

52.217-7). The Government may require the delivery of the numbered line item, identified in the Schedule as an option item, in the quantity and at the price stated in the Schedule. The Contracting Officer may exercise the option by written notice to the Contractor within three days prior to the estimated completion date of the basic line item or any previously exercised option.

Delivery of added items shall continue at the same rate that like items are called for under the contract, unless the parties otherwise agree.

NOTE 6: 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 quantity (total or part quantity) and price stated in the schedule. Bidders shall bid on all items including the Optional Work items (see “Evaluation of Options” FAR 52.217-5). Failure to bid on all items will result in a non-responsive bid. If the Government activates the Optional Items, the activation will occur while the Contractor’s plant is within the limits of the dredging Base Work.

NOTE 7: TIME ADJUSTMENT IN THE EVENT OF OPTIONAL WORK. In the event that “Dredging – OW” is exercised under the terms of this contract, the time required for completion of the contract will be increased by 165 calendar days beyond the original duration of 255 calendar days established for the Basic Work set forth in the Section 00700 Contract Clause paragraph entitled “COMMENCEMENT, PROSECUTION, AND COMPLETION OF WORK”. For partial award of ” Dredging – OW”, the 165-calendar day allowance will be prorated accordingly. “Bird Nesting Prevention and Avoidance Measures – OW” requires work to be performed concurrent with “Dredging – OW”. The successful bidder is advised that the contract time required for “Bird Nesting Prevention and Avoidance Measures – OW” is included in the performance period allowed for completion of “Dredging – OW”, thus the time required for completion of “Bird Nesting Prevention and Avoidance Measures – OW” will not be increased.
