1. For work to be performed for a lump sum price, the Bidder shall submit a price breakdown to the
Construction
Administrator
prior
to
the
first
payment
and
within
ten
(10)
calendar
days
after
Notice
to
Proceed.
The
price
breakdown,
as
revised
and
agreed
upon
by
the
Bidder
and
the
Construction
Administrator,
shall
be
used
for
preparing
future
estimates
for
progress
payments
to
the
Bidder,
or
as
the
basis
for
evaluating
and
pricing
change
orders,
and
shall
list
the
major
items
of
work
with
a
price
fairly
apportioned
to
each
item.
2. The price breakdown shall be, generally, in the same format as the Contract specifications’ divisions
and
subdivisions,
with
major
items
of
work
listed
individually.
The
price
breakdown
shall
be
by
sewer
pipeline
items
and
shall
include
separate
items
for
identifiable
portions
of
the
sewer
pipeline
system
(including
specific
prices
for
different
size
items
within
the
system),
and
other
logical
divisions
of
work.
Measurable
approximate
quantities
of
work
performed
by
the
Bidder
or
its
subcontractors
shall
be
provided.
For
quantities
that
are
the
sum
total
of
several
individual
quantities,
backup
summaries
shall
be
provided
which
list
the
individual
descriptions
and
quantities
(for
instance;
excavation,
dewatering,
pipe
installation,
backfill,
paving,
etc.).
These
summaries
then
will
be
used
1)
to
determine
the
quantities
of
work
in
place
in
subsequent
progress
payment
requests
and
2)
as
the
basis
for
evaluating
and
pricing
change
orders.
3. The above is a statement of the intent of the Contract Documents to provide a moderate level of detail,
acceptable
to
the
Construction
Manager,
to
allow
a
fair
and
reasonable
estimate
to
be
made
of
the
value
of
work
installed.
The
detail
of
the
price
breakdown
must
be
sufficient
to
provide
timely
processing
of
the
monthly
progress
payment
request.
4. The price breakdown will be subject to the approval of the Construction Manager, and upon the request,
the
Bidder
shall
substantiate
the
price
for
any
or
all
items
and
provide
additional
level
of
detail,
including
quantities
of
work
and
supplier’s
and
subcontractor’s
written
cost
quotes.
The
price
breakdown
shall
be
sufficiently
detailed
to
permit
its
use
by
the
Construction
Manager
as
1)
one
of
the
bases
for
evaluating
requests
for
payments
and
2)
as
the
basis
for
evaluating
and
pricing
change
orders.
The
Construction
Manager
shall
be
the
sole
judge
of
the
adequacy
of
the
price
breakdown.
5. The estimated Bid Quantities shown, with the exception of Lump Sum quantities which will be paid
as
bid,
are
provided
for
the
sole
purpose
of
evaluating
bids.
The
nature
of
the
work
is
such
that
pipe
size,
depth,
length,
repair
scope,
and
other
quantities
shown
are
approximate,
and
payment
will
be
made
based
on
the
unit
price
bid
for
the
actual
conditions
that
are
found
in
the
field.
Veolia
Water
does
not
provide
any
assurance
that
the
quantities
shown
for
each
bid
item
will
be
the
quantities
that
are
actually
encountered
in
the
field.
