An indefinite delivery indefinite quantity ordering agreement is an agreement 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) produced

and maintained by Gordian

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 Adjustment Factors to be applied to the CTC Schedule.

The Adjustment Factors 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 give 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 Adjustment Factors.

The Postal Service will review the Price Proposal Package and may request changes. Once an

acceptable Work Order Package has been submitted, the Postal Service Contracting Officer will issue a

Notice to Proceed for the project.

A separate work order will be issued for each project. A work order will contain a Detailed Scope of

Work, the project completion time, and the price to be paid for the work.

The work order price shall be a lump sum, firm fixed price based on the sum total of the unit prices for

the completion of the Detailed Scope of Work.
