For example: CLIN 0002: Exclusion Regular: $2 per hr x 120 hours = $240 Exclusion Overtime: $5 per hr x 120 hours = $600 Exclusion Weekend: $10 per hr x 16 hours = $160 Exclusion Holiday: $20 per hr x 8 hours = $160 Total price for CLIN 0002 for evaluation purposes: $1,160.00 This value will be included in the vendor s quote as CLIN 0002 (for price evaluation purposes only) and then added with the rest of the vendor s quoted price. This same calculation will be completed for CLINS 1002, 2002, 3002, and 4002, these totals will also be added to the vendor s quoted price to develop a final total quoted price (for evaluation purposes only). The Pricing Sheet already has this calculation developed. The number of hours provided in this calculation are estimates only and provided for price evaluation purposes only. There is no guarantee that these hours will be used or will be a minimum or maximum expectation of future work.
