Cost/Price Proposal (Volume III). Cost proposals must contain sufficient pricing information to support negotiation of the contract type noted in this Section L, paragraph L.2, FAR 52.216-1, “Type of Contract.”

Cost/Price Proposal (Volume III). (1) The cost evaluation will be conducted in accordance with FAR 15.305(a)(1) and NFS 1815.305(a)(1)(B). (2) Offerors should refer to FAR 2.101(b) for a definition of “cost realism” and to FAR 15.404-1(d) for a discussion of “cost realism analysis” and “probable cost”. The terms “proposed and probable cost” are exclusive of fee. Any proposed fee is not adjusted in the probable cost assessment. (3) The Government will determine the Probable Cost of each Offeror’s proposal by evaluating the realism of each Offeror’s proposed costs to ensure the Offeror understands the magnitude and complexity of the effort. This will include an evaluation of the extent to which proposed costs indicate a clear understanding of solicitation requirements, and reflect a sound approach to satisfying those requirements. This assessment will consider technical/management risks identified during the evaluation of the proposal and associated costs. Cost information supporting a cost judged to be unrealistic and the technical/management risk associated with the proposal will be quantified by the Government evaluators and included in the assessment for each Offeror. Offeror’s proposed award fee will be used in computing the Probable Cost Plus Award Fee. (4) The overall cost plus award fee for selection purposes will be the sum of the cost plus award fee proposed for Contract Management and Admin (CLINs 02A, 03A, 04A, and 05A) and Testing and General Services (CLINs 02B, 03B, 04B, and 5B). The Government will evaluate proposed Phase-in cost (CLIN 01) for reasonableness and realism. Phase-in will not be included in the total evaluated cost plus award fee, If the SEB determines that a proposal does not adequately demonstrate that the Offeror will be able to perform the work, including the appropriateness of the Offeror’s proposed resources, the SEB may determine this to be a Mission Suitability weakness, adversely affecting the Offeror’s Mission Suitability scores as well as require an adjustment for probable cost. A lack of resource realism (and, in the case of Phase-In costs, a lack of reasonableness) may generate a Mission Suitability weakness and adversely affect the Offeror’s Mission Suitability score. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise such options.

Cost/Price Proposal (Volume III). Proposed costs will be analyzed to determine the cost/price and associated risks of doing business with the offeror. Cost proposals shall include the following information for the offeror as well as any subcontract or inter-organizational transfer valued at $1M or more. The cost proposal shall consist of an individually priced proposal for the “RRSW Standup and Operate” Task Order (Section J.1(a) Attachment 2). NOTE: A cost proposal shall not be submitted for both RRSW Basic SOW and the “RRSW Execute End-to-End ORS Mission” Task Order.

The GMP Proposal must be prepared in accordance with the guidelines established by Owner and delivered in the format specified by Owner in Exhibit “E” attached to this Agreement. Owner, at its sole option and discretion, may specify different requirements for the GMP Proposal. Contractor shall not withdraw its Guaranteed Maximum Price Proposal for ninety (90) days following submission to Owner. 7.2 In developing the GMP Proposal, Contractor shall coordinate efforts with A/E to identify qualifications, clarifications, assumptions, exclusions, value engineering and any other factors relevant to establishment of a GMP. Contractor shall review development of the GMP Proposal with Owner on an ongoing basis to address clarifications of scope and pricing, distribution of contingencies, schedule, assumptions, exclusions, and other matters relevant to the establishment of a GMP. 7.3 The GMP Proposal must include a written description of how it was derived that specifically identifies the clarifications and assumptions made by Contractor in the GMP and the monetary amounts attributable to them. The GMP Proposal shall include, without limitation, a breakdown of Contractor’s estimated General Conditions Costs and estimated Cost of the Work organized by trade and Masterformat 2004; contingency amounts; the Construction Phase Fee; and the proposed Contract Time, including dates for Notice to Proceed, Substantial Completion and Final Completion.

This equitable adjustment does not apply to tax increases borne solely by Subcontractors. 7.13 The parties may agree to convert the GMP to a lump sum contract amount at any time after Contractor has received bids or proposals from trade Contractors or Subcontractors for the performance of all major elements of the Project. In proposing a lump sum amount, Contractor shall consider the buyout savings, any unused contingency amounts and the trade package contracts that have not been finalized. In preparing a lump sum conversion proposal, Contractor must provide the following information: 7.13.1 The stage of completion of the Project; 7.13.2 The trade packages that have been completely bought out; 7.13.3 The trade packages remaining that have not been bought out; 7.13.4 A complete line item breakdown of the calculations used to establish a lump sum amount based on the GMP Schedule of Values; 7.13.5 An accounting of all savings amounts that are to be returned to Owner as part of the lump sum calculation; and 7.13.6 Any other Project information requested by Owner. 7.14 Contractor shall document the actual Cost of the Project at buyout as compared to the Guaranteed Maximum Price Proposal and shall report this information to Owner monthly and with Contractor’s recommendation for selection of a bid/proposal for each subcontracting package. 7.15 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Contractor shall have no liability for delay or liquidated damages if the parties are unable to reach an agreement on the GMP.

PRICE ESCALATION/DE-ESCALATION (CPI) The County may allow a price escalation provision within this award. The original contract prices shall be firm for an initial one (1) year period. A price escalation/de-escalation will be considered at one (1) year intervals thereafter, provided the Contractor notifies the County, in writing, of the pending price escalation/de-escalation a minimum of sixty (60) days prior to the effective date. Price adjustments shall be based on the latest version of the Consumers Price Index (CPI-U) for All Urban Consumers, All Items, U.S. City Average, non-seasonal, as published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. This information is available at xxx.xxx.xxx. Price adjustment shall be calculated by applying the simple percentage model to the CPI data. This method is defined as subtracting the base period index value (at the time of initial award) from the index value at time of calculation (latest version of the CPI published as of the date of request for price adjustment), divided by the base period index value to identify percentage of change, then multiplying the percentage of change by 100 to identify the percentage change. Formula is as follows: Current Index – Base Index / Base Index = % of Change CPI for current period 232.945 Less CPI for base period 229.815 Equals index point change 3.130 Divided by base period CPI 229.815 Equals 0.0136 Result multiplied by 100 0.0136 x 100 Equals percent change 1.4% % of Change x 100 = Percentage Change CPI-U Calculation Example: A price increase may be requested only at each time interval specified above, using the methodology outlined in this section. To request a price increase, Contractor shall submit a letter stating the percentage amount of the requested increase and adjusted price to the Orange County Procurement Division. The letter shall include the complete calculation utilizing the formula above, and a copy of the CPI-U index table used in the calculation. The maximum allowable increase shall not exceed 4%, unless authorized by the Manager, Procurement Division. All price adjustments must be accepted by the Manager, Procurement Division and shall be memorialized by written amendment to this contract. No retroactive contract price adjustments will be allowed. Should the CPI-U for All Urban Consumers, All Items, U.S City Average, as published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics decrease during the term of the contract, or any renewals, the Contractor shall notify the Orange County Procurement Division of price decreases in the method outlined above. If approved, the price adjustment shall become effective on the contract renewal date. If the Contractor fails to pass the decrease on to the County, the County reserves the right to place the Contractor in default, cancel the award, and remove the Contractor from the County Vendor List for a period of time deemed suitable by the County. In the event of this occurrence, the County further reserves the right to utilize any options as stated herein.
Price Decreases The following price decrease terms will apply to the Contract:
