Contract Description An indefinite delivery indefinite quantity contract is a contract pursuant to which the contractor will perform a series of individual projects at different Postal Service facilities. The solicitation, and resulting contract includes, by reference, a Construction Task Catalog (CTC) (also referred to as a Unit Price Book) produced and maintained by Gordian, that contains approximately 200,000 line items and service tasks with preset unit prices. All unit prices are based on local labor, material and equipment prices to perform the activity. The solicitation, and resulting contract also includes Technical Specifications which set forth the quality of Workmanship and quality of materials required for the service tasks. Offering Firms responding to this solicitation will propose an Adjustment Factor (also referred to as a Price Multiplier) to be applied to the CTC Schedule. The Adjustment Factor will apply to each unit price in the CTC, except for any line item specifically noted otherwise. As projects are initiated by the Postal Service, the contractor will participate in a Joint Scope Meeting, at which the scope of work for the individual project will be explained to the contractor, and the contractor an opportunity to ask questions, inspect the site and make recommendations with regards to means and methods, scheduling and other aspects of the project as circumstances dictate. The Postal Service will then prepare a Detailed Scope of Work and issue a Request for Proposal to the contractor. The contractor will prepare a Price Proposal Package for the project including, among other items, a Price Proposal and a schedule. In general, the Price Proposal will be prepared by identifying the proper construction tasks from the CTC and multiplying the pre-set unit prices by the quantity required and by the appropriate AdjustmentFactors. The Postal Service will review the Price Proposal Package and may request changes. Oncean acceptable Work Order Package has been submitted, the Postal Service Contracting Officer will issue a Notice to Proceed for the project.
