Physical inspections and flyover inspections are not authorized for these vacant land parcels. Contractors cannot subcontract the assignment or rely on post-death sales for valuation conclusions. The period of performance is 205 calendar days from award, with an initial appraisal target of 160 days. Prevailing wage applies under Wage Determination 2015-5687 (Revision 29), with health and welfare benefits of $5.55 per hour.
