BIDDING SCHEDULE NOTES

1. All quantities shown on the BIDDING SCHEDULE are estimated quantities except when the unit is shown as job "JA".

2. When bids are solicited on a unit price basis, bidders shall insert in the spaces provided therefore in the SCHEDULE both the "unit price" and the "estimated amount" resulting from applying the said unit price to the estimated quantity shown. In event the bidder quotes only a total price ("estimated amount") in its bid and fails to quote the unit price, the Government will determine such unit price by dividing the total price quoted by the quantity of the item set out in the SCHEDULE. The bidder agrees that the unit price so determined shall be used for the purpose of bid evaluation, award and all payments to the Contractor including final payment.

3. All extensions of the unit prices shown will be subject to verification by the Government. In case of variation between the unit price and the extension, the unit price will be considered to be the bid and the extension will be corrected accordingly.

4. If a modification to a bid based on unit prices is submitted, which provides for a total adjustment to the total estimated cost, the application of the total adjustment to each unit price in the bid schedule must be stated. If it is not stated, the bidder agrees that the total adjustment shall be applied on a pro rata basis to every unit price in the bid schedule.

5. Bidders are required to bid on all items listed on the Bidding Schedule in addition to inserting a total quoted bid in the appropriate space provided. Failure to do so will be considered good cause to disqualify the bid.

6. Bidders are encouraged to pay particular attention to the requirements on lab “validation” in Section 01 14 40 of the contract specifications.

7. Amount: Guaranteed Minimum - $33,000.00. Minimum and maximum delivery order amounts are referenced in Section 00700, Contract Clauses, “Order Limitations” FAR 52.216-19.

8. Information concerning indefinite quantity contracts, as well as the issuance and limitations of delivery orders may be found in Section 00700, Contract Clauses.

9. Equipment Ownership and Operating Expense Schedule (MAR 1995)

(a) This clause does not apply to terminations. See 52.249-9000, Basis for Settlement of Proposals, and FAR Part 49.

(b) Allowable cost for construction and marine plant and equipment in sound workable condition owned or controlled and furnished by a contractor or subcontractor at any tier shall be based on actual cost data for each piece of equipment or groups of similar serial and series for which the Government can determine both ownership and operating costs from the contractor's accounting records. When both ownership and operating costs cannot be determined for any piece of equipment or groups of similar serial or series equipment from the contractor's accounting records, costs for that equipment shall be based upon the applicable provisions of EP 1110-1-8, Construction Equipment Ownership and Operating Expense Schedule, Region V. Working conditions shall be considered to be average for determining equipment rates using the schedule unless specified otherwise by the contracting officer. For equipment not included in the schedule, rates for comparable pieces of equipment may be used or a rate may be developed using the formula provided in the schedule. For forward pricing, the schedule in effect at the time of negotiations shall apply. For retroactive pricing, the schedule in effect at the time the work was performed shall apply.

(c) Equipment rental costs are allowable, subject to the provisions of

FAR 31.105(d)(ii) and FAR 31.205-36, Rental Costs. Rates for equipment rented from an organization under common control, lease-purchase arrangements, and sale-leaseback arrangements, will be determined using the schedule, except that actual rates will be used for equipment leased from an organization under common control that has an established practice of leasing the same or similar equipment to unaffiliated lessees.

(d) When actual equipment costs are proposed and the total amount of the pricing action exceeds the SAT, the contracting officer shall request the contractor to submit either certified cost or pricing data, or partial/limited data, as appropriate. The data shall be submitted on Standard Form 1411, Contract Pricing Proposal Cover Sheet.

10. EVALUATION OF SUBDIVIDED ITEMS (MAR 1995) UAI 52.211-5001

Item No. 0004BA 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.

11. VARIATIONS IN ESTIMATED QUANTITIES - SUBDIVIDED ITEMS. UAI 52.211-

5001. This variations in estimated quantities clause is applicable only to Item No. 0004BA.

(a) Variation from the estimated quantity in the actual work performed under any second or subsequent subitem or elimination of all work under such a second or subsequent subitem will not be the basis for an adjustment in contract unit price.

(b) Where the actual quantity of work performed for Item No. 0004BA is less than 85 percent of the quantity of the first subitem listed under such item, the Contractor will be paid at the contract unit price for that subitem for the actual quantity of work performed, and, in addition, an equitable adjustment shall be made in accordance with the Contract Clause FAR 52.212- 11, Variation in Estimated Quantities.

(c) If the actual quantity of work performed under Item No. 0004BA exceeds 115 percent or is less than 85 percent of the total estimated quantity of the subitems under that item, and/or if the quantity of work performed under the second subitem or any subsequent subitem under Item No.

0004BA exceeds 115 percent or is less than 85 percent of the estimated quantity of any such subitem, 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 Contract Clause FAR 52.211-18, Variation in Estimated Quantities.
