The price volume shall consist of Attachment 8 – SF 1449, Attachment 2 - Price List, and Attachment 3 - Special Requirements/Xeriscaping Price Sheet. For Attachment 8 – SF 1449, complete blocks 12, 17a and 30a, b, and c. In doing so, the Offeror agrees to the contract terms and conditions as written in the solicitation, with attachments. The solicitation constitutes the model contract. The Government will award task orders using the values on Attachment 2 - Price List and Attachment 3 – Special Requirements/Xeriscaping Price Sheet. Attachment 2 - Price List, the Offeror shall complete the Price List for the life of the contract. The basic contract will be a 5-year ordering period, with a six (6) month option to extend; there is a tab for each performance year (1 June – 31 May), as well as for the six (6) month option period (1 June – 30 November). All unit prices shall include all associated costs (General and Administrative (G&A) costs plus profit or fee, labor, materials etc.). This attachment will be included as an attachment to the contract and represent Firm-Fixed prices over the life of the contract. All Prices shall not exceed two (2) decimal places (e.g., $100.50, $.75, $1,234.35) Offerors shall only input their unit prices for task items under CLINs X002 through X025 for the Base Period and all out years. CLIN X026 will be a plug number in the amount of $15,000.00 for the Base Year, $15,300.00 for Year 1, $15,606.00 for Year 2, $15,918.12 for Year 3, and $16,236.48 for Year 4. CLIN X026 will be included in the TEP. CLIN X026 will be negotiated individually at time of any potential future Task Order awards. CLIN X027 will be a plug number in the amount of $32,015.02 for the Base Year, $32,655.32 for Year 1, $33,308.43 for Year 2, $33,974.60 for Year 3, and $34,654.09 for Year 4. CLIN X027 will be included in the TEP. CLIN X027 will be priced from Attachment 3 – Special Requirements/Xeriscaping Price Sheet at time of any potential future Task Order. The award price for CLINS X002 through X027 will be determined as follows: The sum of the Base Year plus all out-years (Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, and Year 4) for each CLIN (CLINS X002 through X0027), divided by the number of unit quantities row E of the Price Sheet multiplied by the 5-year ordering period. For example, if CLIN X002 was priced $120,000.01 for the Base Year, $121,100.01 for Year 1, $122,200.01 for Year 2, $123,300.01 for Year 3, and $124,200.01 for Year 4, the sum would be $610,800.05. The number of unit quantity for CLIN X002 is 7 per year, multiplied the 5-year ordering period, equaling 35 total unit quantity for the life of the contract. $610,800.05 divided by 35 would result in an award price of $17,451.43 for CLIN X002. CLIN X026 will be the sum of all plug numbers ($15,000.00 + $15,300.00 + $15,606.00 + $15,918.12 + $16,236.48 = $78,060.60) divided by 5 (1 quantity per year multiplied by the 5-year ordering period) ($78,060.60/5) for the amount of $15,612.12 for CLIN X026. CLIN X027 will be the sum of all plug numbers ($32,015.02 + $32,655.32 + $33,308.43 + $33,974.60 + $34,654.09) divided by 5 (1 quantity per year multiplied by the 5-year ordering period) ($166,607.45/5) for the amount of $33,321.49 for CLIN X027. Each CLIN for the six-month extension (1002 through 1027) will be priced by dividing the total for that CLIN by the number of unit quantities in row E of the 6-mo Ext tab on the Price Sheet. For example, if CLIN 1005 was priced $12,000, it would be divided by 6 and would result in a price of $2,000 for CLIN 1005. CLIN 1026 will be a plug number in the amount of $8,442.90. The total value of CLIN 1026 ($8,442.90) will be divided by 1 ($8,442.90/1) for the amount of $8,442.90 for CLIN 1026. CLIN 1027 will be a plug number in the amount of $17,327.05. The total value of CLIN 1027 ($17,327.05) will be divided by 1 ($17,327.05/1) for the amount of $17,327.05 for CLIN 1027. The Government will make award using the individual unit prices on Attachment 2 - Price List, and Attachment 3 - Special Requirements/Xeriscpaing Price Sheet. CLINS 0002 through 0027 will be for the 5-year period and the Government may order some, none or all tasks identified on Attachment 2 - Price List and Attachment 3 – Special Requirements/Xeriscaping Price Sheet. CLIN 0026 will be a plug number in the amount of $15,000.00 for the Base Year, $15,300.00 for Year 1, $15,606.00 for Year 2, $15,918.12 for Year 3, and $16,236.48 for Year 4. However, if needed, a TO will be negotiated and priced at the time the requirement arises. These amounts will be funded as funds or the need arises. CLIN X027 will be a plug number in the amount of $32,015.02 for the Base Year, $32,655.32 for Year 1, $33,308.43 for Year 2, $33,974.60 for Year 3, and $34,654.09 for Year 4. However, if needed, a TO will be issued using the pricing from Attachment 3 – Special Requirements/Xeriscaping Price Sheet at the time a requirement arises. These amounts will be funded as funds or the need arises. The Offeror’s proposed unit prices, as displayed on the Price List and Price Sheet, will be incorporated into the resultant contract. The Offeror shall insert proposed unit and extended prices for each CLIN (0002- 0027/1002-1027) on each tab (Base, Ordering Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, and 6-month option to extend). The six-month extension shall be priced IAW FAR clause 52.217-8. If the six-month extension is used, it will be priced at the current period of performance rates. For evaluation purposes, the six-month extension shall be proposed at the same rates as Year 4. Attachment 2 - Price List, shall be submitted in Microsoft Excel format with all formulas visible and all cells unlocked. Attachment 3 – Special Requirements/Xeriscaping Price Sheet, the Offeror shall complete the Price Sheet for the life of the contract. The basic contract will be a 5-year ordering period, with a six (6) month option to extend; there is a tab for each performance year (1 June – 31 May), as well as the six (6) month option to extend (1 June – 30 November). All unit prices shall include all associated costs (General and Administrative (G&A) costs plus profit or fee, labor, materials etc.). This attachment will be included as an attachment to the contract and represent Firm-Fixed prices over the life of the contract. All Prices shall not exceed four (4) decimal places (e.g., $100.5055, $.75.0111, $1,234.3509). Offerors shall insert proposed unit and extended prices for Task Items under Tasks 0001 through 0146 on each tab (Base, Ordering Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, and 6-month option to extend).. Attachment 3 – Special Requirements/Xeriscaping Price Sheet, shall be submitted in Microsoft Excel format with all formulas visible and all cells unlocked. Column H, represents amounts to provide a scope. The Government may order some, none or all of the amounts identified. If there is a need, the Government could order more of an identified amount at the same price but it is not expected that the total would exceed the Government plug number. An independent evaluation will be conducted on this Price Sheet to determine fair and reasonable and balanced pricing. For the purpose of determining the ceiling and Total Evaluated Price (TEP), a plug number will be inserted in each tab of Attachment 2 – Price Sheet for CLIN X027, as described in the previous section. - Volume II – Technical Capability.
