The clause requires an offeror to
indicate whether it has the proper authorization from the Federal
Highway Administration (or other cognizant regulatory body) before
it can be allowed to move material under any contract awarded. In
addition, the Government has the right to request an offeror to
submit copies of the authorization to the contracting officer in
the exceptional case where the Government has reason to doubt that
the contractor is in possession of the appropriate
authorization.
The change (increase) is due to
the use of updated Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) data, an
increased hourly rate based on updated GS Salary Table data for
2019, and using a 36.25% burden rate. The 36.25% overhead rate
reflects OMB Memorandum M-08-13 for use in public-private
competitions. The OPM Salary Schedule rates used for the “Rest of
the U.S.” includes locality pay of 15.37%.
