construction; performance by the contractor's own employees of design work, land surveys and other
engineering or technical specialist services required by the contract; supplies to directly support the
aforementioned work to be accomplished by the contractor's own employees; and the contractor's own
job overhead costs. Contractor markups for profit, general and administrative overhead, bonds, or other
indirect costs on "self-performed" or subcontracted work are not "self-performed work" and are to be
excluded from "total cost of the contract" for calculation purposes. Rental of plant or equipment for
operation by subcontractors is not "self-performed work" but shall be included in the "total cost of the
contract" for calculation purposes . Cost of materials to be incorporated into the work and supplies to
support other than construction by the contractor's own employees are excluded from the above
definition. Do not include these costs in the calculation.
XX.1.3 "Total cost of the contract" means the total direct (variable, fixed, one-time and semi-variable)
costs to the contractor, including jobsite overhead costs but excluding the cost of any materials to be
incorporated into the work, to construct the project. It generally includes the cost of all self-performed
work, as defined above, and all supplies and subcontract costs. The cost of subcontractor furnished
materials will be excluded only to the extent that they can be segregated and identified in the
subcontractors' proposals.
XX.1.4 "Percent of self-performed work" is calculated by dividing the above defined cost of "self-
performed work" by the "total cost of the contract" and multiplying the result by 100%."

acceptance of the selected offeror's proposed performance period not to exceed a prescribed maximum
period.
