9.4.K. Specifications. (continued)A good guide for determining the success of a specification is to review the bid tabulations for the item inquestion. When the range of bidding is close, it indicates that all contractors are reading the specification inthe same context. Conversely, a wide range of bidding may indicate confusion and ambiguity in thespecification.9 - 152
9.4.L. Contract Assembly.L. Contract Assembly. The contract assembly, often called solicitation package, is the end product of thedesigners efforts. The PS&E package is an integral part of this assembly. Before the Federal Lands HighwayDivision offices can solicit bids for a construction contract, they need to describe the articles, works, orservices for a desired bid. This involves preparing plan drawings, (supplemented by specifications and aschedule of quantities) and combining them with appropriate regulations and clauses into a contract assembly.A contract assembly or solicitation package consists of several main parts:1. Solicitation, Offer, and Award (SF 1442). This contract form, after being signed by the contractor andCO, consummates the contract and makes it legal and binding on all parties.2. Solicitation Provisions. The Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) define the scope of the contract andsets forth bidding requirements.3. Bid Schedule. A list of all pay items in the contract to be completed by bidders with their offered bid pricesfor the work. The bid schedule is prepared from data obtained from the engineer's estimate.4. Contract Construction Clauses. FAR clauses regulating and controlling contractor construction activities.5. Labor Standard Clauses. All laborers and mechanics working on the project are covered by Federalregulations (Davis-Bacon Act) that includes a minimum wage schedule.6. Special Contract Requirements. The amendments and supplements to the standard specificationsnecessary for the construction of the project.7. Plans and Drawings. The plans and drawings necessary to detail and identify the work. These includestandard plans and special drawings that may be applicable.The Federal Lands Highway offices use these seven subdivisions in their contract solicitations (advertised ornegotiated). The solicitation generally contains all the necessary forms and contract documents that a bidderneeds to make the government an offer for the construction of the highway facility.9 - 153
