DISCUSSION TOPICS:



" RS MEANS FACILITIES CONSTRUCTION COST: How the GLAC utilizes the R.S. Means Cost Works program in preparing Independent Government Estimates (IGE) for the various projects at the Clement J. Zablocki VAMC and how the IGE is compared to the contractors proposal.



" COEFFICIENTS: Pricing factor which is multiplied against the total cost of the contract (RS Means items (the bare cost) and non-priced items) in calculating Task Order prices. It is proposed by bidders in decimal format as a percentage increase (e.g., 1.10) or decrease (e.g., 0.90).



" NON-PREPRICED ITEMS: Non-prepriced work shall be so noted on each task order. Non-prepriced proposals shall be supported with verifiable documentation supporting competitive quotes (minimum of two), catalogue prices, etc. All non-prepriced items shall be proposed in bare costs only (material, equipment, and labor) and handled in accordance with VAAR 852.236-88. Items may be negotiated by the Contracting Officer, or his designated representative.



" TASK ORDER PRICING: The contractor will propose the quantities for all the units of work involved in the particular task order (both RSMeans items and non- prepriced items). The Government will then negotiate with the contractor on the estimated quantities for all of the RS Means units of work necessary for the Task Order.



" PRICE ANALYSIS: In performing a price analysis, that is, determining a price to be fair and reasonable without examining the individual components of the price, VA has a wide selection of methods:



1. Price Competition.

2. Historical Prices.

3. Comparison to a Substantially Similar Project.



The Contracting Officer reserves the right to conduct price realism.
