    3. Provide Fact Sheets initiating Change Orders that document the description, reason for

     

    change, and cost and schedule impact to the project as necessary. For changes whose value

     

    exceed $150K, use the Technical Evaluation Report Template and the guidance in the

     

    Technical Evaluation of Sole Source Contractor Proposals Guide.

     

    4. Use the most current R.S. Means database for line items of each individual construction

     

    task in preparation of cost estimates. Select line items that most accurately and completely

     

    represent the work being accomplished in a fixed price TO scope. If an item is not

     

    included in R.S. Means CostWorks, the item shall be considered a Non-Price Item (NPI).

     

    Separately identify and price all NPIs using appropriate wage rates.

     

    5. Maintain proficiency in the most current Unit Price Book (UPB) by RSMeans CostWorks

     

    including the following list of cost data publications: Assemblies and Cost Data, Building

     

    Construction Cost Data, Concrete and Masonry Cost Data, Electrical Cost Data, Heavy

     

    Construction Cost Data, Interior Cost Data, Mechanical Cost Data, Plumbing Cost Data,

     

    Site Work & Landscape Cost Data, Square Foot Costs, Commercial Renovation Cost

     

    Data, Facilities Construction Cost Data, and Facilities Maintenance & Repair Cost Data.

     

    6. Base estimates on quantities of individual work elements; knowledge of associated non

     

    priced tasks and items; performance times; and design sketches and submittals.

     

    7. Review and prepare detailed cost estimates for budgeting and all phases of project

     

    execution (e.g. pre-design, design, procurement, construction, and closeout).

     

    8. Assist the Government in preparing for negotiations of approved changes, new work

     

    modifications, claims, dispute resolution and final decision making by the CO.

     

    9. Provide analyses to determine why individual project bids may have varied from the

     

    estimated cost. Budget estimates shall be developed using all relevant standards, policies,

     

    and site conditions.

     

    10. Perform cost estimating data collection, processing, visualization, and presentation

     

    tasks.
