all annual maintenance plans and upgrades and use them as soon as they are ready
for the life of the contract. The Contractor shall use e4Clicks software to estimate
and submit all of their estimates, both electronically and on paper.
C.6.1.1.2. Information on this software and pricing can be obtained by emailing
sales@4Clicks.com; let them know this is for the Fort Jackson, SC JOC contract.
FAR Part 51 allows the Contracting officer to issue a Letter of Authorization to
give 4Clicks permission to provide the awarded contractor with GSA pricing. You
will need to request, obtain and submit this to 4Clicks should you be the successful
contractor.
C.6.1.1.3. The Contractor shall provide on-site computer support in the form of a
trained software installer to remedy any problems associated with the installation
of the estimating software and associated databases. The Contractor will have all

C.6.1.2. DEFINITIONS
C.6.1.2.1. Unit Price Book (UPB): The list and price information for all prepriced items covered in this contract. The UPB shall include the base cost pricing
from the RSMeans Assemblies, RSMeans Facilities Cost Data and the RSMeans
Master Composite Cost Data Guides – consisting of Building Construction,
Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing, Green Book, Interior, Site Work & Landscape,
Concrete & Masonry and Heavy Construction Cost Data. The UPB shall also
include RSMeans trades line items, selective demolition line items, removal and
replacement line items, average line items, and Government Furnished Materials
line items.
C.6.1.2.2. Line item: An item or system denoted in the UPB by a unique line item
number.
C.6.1.2.3. Bare costs: The cost of a line item without any multiplier.
C.6.1.2.4. Multipliers: All factors added to the bare cost pricing of the UPB. This
includes the City Cost Index (CCI) and the Contractor’s coefficients.
C.6.1.2.5. Pre-priced line item: A line item from the UPB with approved changes.
C.6.1.2.6. Non-pre-priced line item (NPI): A line item that is not a pre-priced line
item.
C.6.1.2.7. Conventional line item: A line item listed directly from an RSMeans
Cost Data Guide(s).
C.6.1.2.8. RSMeans trades line item. These are the bare cost hourly rates found in
the back of the annually published RSMeans hardback books.
C.6.1.2.9. Selective demolition line item: The removal of material with no
concern for its replacement. If a line item can be found in the UPB for selective
demolition, that line item will be used. If there is no line item for selective
demolition, the Contractor will locate the line item in the UPB. Then the
Contractor will create an alternate pre-priced line item removing the cost for the
material and equipment, and the remaining labor amount will be multiplied by
50%. This will be used as the means to demolish that item. This line item will be
pre-priced. If the line item cannot be found in the UPB, the demolition will be an
NPI.
C.6.1.2.10. Removal and replacement line item: An item that is to be removed
and then replaced without damaging the item. If a line item can be found in the
UPB for removal and replacement, that line item will be used. If there is no line
item for removal and replacement, the Contractor will locate the line item in the
UPB. Then the Contractor will create an alternate pre-priced line item removing
the cost for the material and equipment, and the remaining labor amount will be
multiplied by 150%. This will be used as the means to demolish that item. This
line item will be pre-priced. If the line item cannot be found in the UPB, the
demolition will be an NPI.
C.6.1.2.11. Average line item: An item that is created by using a minimum and
maximum line item. If an average line item can be found in the UPB, that line
item will be used. If there is no line item for an average, but there is a line item for
minimum and maximum and the average line item is applicable the contractor will
locate the two line items, the minimum and the maximum in the UPB. Then the
Contractor will create an alternate pre-priced line item using the average total cost
of the two line items. This will be used as a means to create an average line item
when none exists. This line item will be pre-priced. If the minimum and
maximum line item cannot be found in the UPB, the average line item will be an
NPI.
C.6.1.2.12. Government Furnished Materials (GFM): On occasion, the
government may choose to supply the Contractor with materials to accomplish
project requirements. If this occurs, the line item prices for labor and equipment
only will be used. They are considered as pre-priced. The Contractor will not
adjust the labor and equipment pricing. The materials are to be cared for by the
Contractor, and excess materials are to be returned to the government.
C.6.1.2.13. All prices in the UPB are for completed and in-place construction
unless explicitly described otherwise. Incidental fasteners, such as, nails, screws,
bolts, weldments, connectors, and adhesives are included in the bare material cost.
Unless specifically omitted in the UPB line item description, testing, adjusting,
balancing, and start-up of installed equipment is included in the unit price line
number cost found in the UPB. Line items are for end finishes. For example, the
line item price for concrete broom finish included all finishes necessary to result in
the broom finish.
C.6.1.2.14. The UPB prices certain line items with a “Minimum labor/equipment
charge.” This minimum charge is often the price a tradesman would charge to
make a special visit to perform that work. If the contractor is already on-site and
the minimum is met, then this item shall not be used as an adjustment to the Unit
Price line items.
C.6.1.2.15. All line item prices assume the installation of the material under
normal working conditions. This includes working from scaffolding when
appropriate. In other words, the productivity for brick veneer is based upon
working not only from the ground, but also from working on scaffolding.
Therefore unless the division has specific height exceptions, no allowance or
change to the unit price is required for working at different heights. The cost to
rent and erect the scaffolding is required. All scaffolding line items are based upon
a one month rental of the scaffolding. Scaffolding is measured by the square foot
of face area where the work is being performed (working height in feet multiplied
by the length of the wall in feet) or, in the case of when scaffolding must be
erected inside a structure in Order to access the ceiling, by the cubic feet (volume)
of the actual scaffolding components. Scaffolding is priced separately. There are
line items for the material costs and line items for erection/dismantling. It is not
appropriate to use the scaffolding line items separately for each subcontractor.
Scaffolding should be applied to the job cost once, and the subcontractors are
“allowed” to use it.
C.6.1.2.16. Line items for mobilization and demobilization are for one or the other
unless noted otherwise. Normally, a piece of equipment will need to be mobilized
and demobilized. Therefore, the line item would normally be included twice per
piece of equipment used. Small equipment placed in rear of truck or towed by a
pickup truck is limited to those items included in the RSMeans crews.
C.6.1.3. PRICE DETERMINATION
C.6.1.3.1. CITY COST INDEX (CCI): The CCI will be applied directly to the
bare cost of each line item.
C.6.1.3.1.1. The CCI for Task Orders at Fort Jackson will use the quarterly
published CCI for Columbia, SC.
C.6.1.3.1.1.1. City Cost indexes are published around the middle of each of these
months: February, May, August, and November.
C.6.1.3.1.2. Conventional line items will use the Weighted Average Total CCI.
C.6.1.3.1.3. The RSMeans trades, selective demolition, removal and replacement,
average, and GFM lines items will be summated and multiplied by the most
current quarterly published Weighted Average Total CCI.
C.6.1.3.2. PREPRICED LINE ITEMS: Bare cost line items from the UPB will be
summated with the CCI applied as described above. The appropriate coefficient
shall then be applied to the total. This is the pre-priced line item total.
C.6.1.3.3. NON-PREPRICED LINE ITEMS: The non-pre-priced line items shall
be summated and the appropriate coefficient applied. This is the non-pre-priced
line item total.
C.6.1.3.4. FINAL PROJECT PRICE: The summation of the pre-priced and nonpre-priced line item totals shall result in the final project price.
C.6.1.4. COST ESTIMATE ORGANIZATION: Cost Estimates will be
comprised of three sections: 1) Division Summary, 2) Totaling Components and 3)
Line Item Estimate.
C.6.1.4.1. SECTION 1, DIVISION SUMMARY: This section shall include the
RSMeans pre-priced divisions, Trades, Assemblies and Alternates (both pre-priced
and non-pre-priced). These items shall make up the Bare Total. No markups shall
be applied at this level. (CCI’s shall be applied as described above.)
C.6.1.4.2. SECTION 2, TOTALLING COMPONENTS: This section includes
totaling components setup for all applicable markups, including contractor
coefficients. (CCI’s shall be applied as described above.)
C.6.1.4.3. SECTION 3, LINE ITEM ESTIMATE: This section shall include all of
the estimate line items. The report shall include a sequential line item number, full
RSMeans item number, unit of measure, quantity, and bare unit cost, total amount
(quantity multiplied by bare unit cost). The report will print: pre-priced line items
by division for all RSMeans pre-priced line items found in the UPB, with division
breaks and division subtotals, and a listing of the Trades, Assemblies and
Alternates, both pre-priced and non-pre-priced. (CCI’s shall be applied as
described above.)
C.6.1.4.3.1. All non-pre-priced line items will be submitted with three
independent price quotes including line item number, description, material, labor,
and equipment breakdowns. List the supplier names and telephone numbers for
each non-pre-priced item. Do not apply any type of markup to these line items.
C.6.1.5. PREPRICED UNIT PRICE BOOK
C.6.1.5.1. UNIT PRICE BOOK (UPB): The UPB shall consist of the most current
RSMeans Facilities Cost Data and the RSMeans Master Composite Cost Data
Guides – consisting of Building Construction, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing,
Green Book, Interior, Site Work & Landscape, Concrete & Masonry and Heavy
Construction Cost Data. This guide shall be provided in two formats (as described
below): bound RSMeans’ hard copy books and electronic software database to be

bare costs; the Assemblies guide will be used by the government only.
C.6.1.5.1.1. All bound volumes, electronic databases, and software licenses shall
be provided by the Contractor to the Government, and will remain the property of
the Government.
C.6.1.5.1.2. The following Subdivisions/Major Classifications, as contained in any

The contractor's coefficient for each Option year will be a loaded fixed unit price
rate that will consist of the direct and indirect costs; general and administrative
expenses to perform and complete each project Task, and to plan, operate and
manage the contract. This includes licenses, permits, fees, insurance, taxes,
environmental compliance’s, clean-up, protection and moving of government
property, quality control, bonding (See Para. C.6.5. Bonding), site office,
mobilization, as-built drawings, and profit. The Contractor shall compute the value
of the pre-priced work by multiplying the appropriate coefficient(s) times the unit
prices in the UPB.
C.6.3. Non Pre-priced Work.
Line items not covered in the pre-priced UPB but within the scope and general
intent of the contract and necessary to complete the requirements of a specific Task
Order may be negotiated and incorporated into the Task Order by the Contracting
Officer. These non-prepriced line items (NPI’s) shall only be allowed if the
Government deems that an appropriate line item is not provided by the pre-priced
UPB. To permit recurrent use, a non-pre-priced line item must be incorporated by
supplemental agreement into the non-pre-priced UPB. This may be done at any
time during the contract period.
C.6.4. UPB Modifications.
During the life of the contract, the Contracting Officer and the Contractor may
negotiate to add new items to the UPB. The items must be within the scope and
general intent of the contract and not previously covered. The negotiated unit price

coefficient, there will be no separate repayment(s) for bond premiums.
C.6.6. Annual Adjustment for Option Years.
Pricing for this contract is based on the e4Clicks Cost Database. This publication
is updated annually. The coefficient does not change over the course of the
contract unless the Contractor proposed different coefficients in the option years.
The Contractor shall generate cost estimates using the publication current when the
Task Order is awarded. The contractor will be responsible for maintaining and
updating the UPB. No adjustment to the established option year coefficients will be
made unless the Davis Bacon Act influences the prices.

All submittals not requiring Government approval will be for information only.
Submit in two (2) copies.
C.23.1.12. Basic Contract Submittals
Basic Contract submittals can be Government Approved or Information Only.
Basic contract submittals are submittals that are generic in nature for all work
under the JOC and shall be identified by the Contractor (annotation of Basic
Submittal in the remarks column of the ENG Form 4288-R) when providing his
submittal register for approval in accordance with paragraph Submittal Register of
this section. Basic contract submittals shall be submitted within fifteen (15)
calendar days of approval of the submittal register. The Contract Quality Control
Plan, the Accident Prevention Plan and submittals required by C.7.11/C.7.15.1 that
impact the contract as a whole are mandatory Basic Contract Submittals.
C.23.1.13. Task Order Specific Submittals

C.24. Approved Submittals
The approval of submittals by the Contracting Officer shall not be construed as a
complete check, but will indicate only that the general method of construction,
materials, detailing and other information are satisfactory. Approval will not
relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for any error, which may exist, as the
Contractor under the CQC requirements of this contract, is responsible for the
dimensions and design of adequate connections, details and satisfactory
construction of all work. After the Contracting Officer has approved submittals, no
re-submittal for the purpose of substituting materials or equipment will be given
consideration unless accompanied by an explanation as to why a substitution is
necessary.
C.24.1. Disapproved Submittals
The Contractor shall make all corrections required by the Contracting Officer and
promptly furnish a corrected submittal in the form and number of copies as
specified for the initial submittal. If the Contractor considers any correction
indicated on the submittals to constitute a change to the contract, notice as required
under the Contract Clause entitled "Changes" shall be given promptly to the
Contracting Officer.
C.25. Environmental Work Statement Clause for all Exterior Work
C.25.1. Through the South Carolina Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(SCPDES) permitting program, the South Carolina Department of Environmental
Quality (SCDEQ) regulates the discharge of storm water from construction sites
throughout the state including those on military installations.
C.25.2. “Construction” refers to actions that result in a disturbance of the land,
including clearing, grading, excavating, and other similar activities. It also includes
“construction-related activities,” areas that support the construction project such as
stockpiles, borrow areas, concrete truck washouts, fueling areas, material storage
areas and equipment storage areas.
C.25.3. The SCPDES Storm water Program requires operators of construction
sites one acre or larger (including smaller sites that are part of a larger common
plan of development) to obtain authorization to discharge storm water under an
SCPDES construction storm water permit. The Contractor is responsible for
determining whether its construction site will exceed this minimum threshold with
consideration of the definition provided above and if so, obtaining coverage under
an SCPDES construction storm water permit.
C.25.4. Obtaining coverage under an SCPDES permit entails preparing and
implementing a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) in accordance
with SCDEQ requirements and submitting a Notice of Intent (NOI) for coverage
under the applicable SCPDES general permit. Once SCDEQ receives the NOI,
ACDEQ then issues an authorization certificate to the Contractor. If a contractor
has a sub-contractor working together on the same project, then the contractor and
sub-contractor(s) will have to submit a NOI for the same job and separate
authorization certificates will be issued to each party.
C.25.5. If the Contractor determines that the project will not exceed the minimum
threshold and does not submit an NOI and it is later determined that the threshold
is exceeded; the Contractor will be required to stop all work until they have
completed the above process. If the appropriate documentation is not provided to
the Government prior to the start of construction or once the threshold is exceeded,
the Contracting Officer will be notified of the failure to comply with a contract
requirement, the SCDEQ Enforcement Section will be notified, and other
appropriate action will be taken to resolve the matter. The Contractor and any subcontractor(s) will be liable for any fines levied by SCDEQ.
C.25.6. A critical component of the SWPPP is final site stabilization. This
generally involves restoring the disturbed area to at least 70% of its former
vegetative state. After implementing all aspects of the SWPPP, to include final site
stabilization, the contractor submits a Notice of Termination to SCDEQ, ending
coverage under the SCPDES permit.
An example SWPPP can be found at the following website:
http://cfpub1.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater/swppp.cfm
C.25.7. The Contractor is encouraged to follow the format and content of the
sample SWPPP. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to develop a SWPPP that
meets applicable requirements; the Government will not review the Contractor
SWPPP for compliance with applicable laws. The Contractor and any subcontractor(s) shall provide a copy of the SCDEQ Authorization Certificate and a
copy of the SWPPP to the COR prior to any construction or construction-related
activities as defined above.

cancers, pleural or peritoneal mesothelioma and asbestosis. Studies indicate there
are significantly increased health dangers to persons exposed to asbestos who
smoke, and further, to family members and other persons who become indirectly
exposed as a result of the exposed worker bringing asbestos-laden work clothing
home to be laundered.
(2) The Contractor is advised that friable and/or non-friable asbestoscontaining material may be encountered in areas where contract work is to be
performed. Friable asbestos-containing material means any material that contains
more than one percent asbestos by weight that hand pressure can crumble,
pulverize or reduce to powder when dry. Non-friable asbestos-containing
materials are materials in which asbestos fibers are bound by a matrix material,
saturate, impregnate or coating. Non-friable asbestos-containing materials do not
normally release airborne asbestos fiber during routine handling and end use.
However, excessive fiber concentrations may be produced during uncontrolled
abrading, sanding, drilling, cutting, machining, removal, demolition or other
similar activities.
(3) Care must be taken to avoid releasing, or causing to be released, asbestos
fibers in the atmosphere where they may be inhaled or ingested. The Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has set standards at 29 CFR 1910.1001
for exposure to airborne concentrations of asbestos fibers, methods of compliance,
medical surveillance, housekeeping procedures and other measures that must be
taken when working with or around asbestos-containing materials. 29 CFR
1910.1001 has been identified as applicable to construction (29 CFR 1926.55
gases, vapors, fumes, dusts and mists). The Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) has established standards at 40 CFR 61.140-156 for the control of asbestos
emissions to the environment and the handling and disposal of asbestos wastes.
(4) Friable asbestos containing materials are not permitted by current criteria
and shall not be used in new construction or modification projects (ETL 110-1118). Plans and specifications for all new construction and modification projects
will be reviewed to ensure that the use of friable asbestos-containing materials is
not specified or required.
(5) Maintenance, modification, or demolition activities where exposure to
asbestos dust may occur from previously installed friable or non-friable asbestoscontaining material will be identified. The Contractor shall strictly adhere to all
precautions, to include proper work practices, medical surveillance, respiratory
protection, industrial hygiene, and environmental protection requirements of
OSHA (29 CFR 1910.1001), EPA (40 CFR 61.140-156) and DA Circular 40-834,
as applicable.
C.28.5. Solid, Liquid, and Gaseous Contaminants.
(1) Contractor shall be responsible for the proper disposal of all solid, liquid,
and gaseous contaminants in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local
codes and regulations, together with, but not limited to, the following
requirements:
(2) Discharge gaseous contaminants so that they will be sufficiently diluted
with fresh air to reduce the toxicity to an acceptable level.
(3) Liquid contaminants may, subject to applicable regulatory standards, be
diluted with water to a level of quality acceptable in the local sewer systems, or
shall be disposed of in approved vessels at approved sites.
(4) Disposal of Refuse: Remove refuse resulting from operations from the site
and dispose of as directed by the Contracting Officer. However, in no case shall
refuse be removed or disposed contrary to any applicable environmental law or
regulation. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer of any direction
given by any government employee or agent, including the Contracting Officer,
which is contrary to any applicable law or regulation.
(5) Covered Chutes: All chutes for refuse, and the like, shall be covered or of
such design to fully confine the material to prevent the dissemination of dust.
C.28.6. Noise Control. The Contractor shall comply with all applicable federal,
state and local laws, ordinances, and regulations relative to noise control.
C.28.7. The installation safety officer shall be designated as the responsible
individual for monitoring the Contractor in the area of safety and accident
prevention.
C.28.8. The Contractor shall be responsible for and comply with all applicable
notification, permit and license requirements identified in the regulations and
publications identified above and as well as in other
applicable federal, state and local statutes and regulations.
C.28.9. The Contractor shall include these SAFETY, HEALTH, AND
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION special contract requirements in all
subcontracts.
