Trinity Center Boat Launch Improvement Project Page 9 of 36

SECTION C - Description/Specifications/Statement of Work

C.1 Scope of Work

Trinity Center Boat Launching Facility

The scope of this contract is to widen resurface the Trinity Center Boat Launching Facility at Trinity Lake.

Fluctuating water levels are to be expected. The Bureau of Reclamation predicts the lowest lake levels usually occur in December. Construction within the window of opportunity for weather and lake levels is critical and the contractor shall schedule work to attain progress corresponding with declining lake levels. A wet weather pattern typically begins in the area after October 15 and may affect progress. The contractor will be responsible to maintain access to the project throughout construction, which may include snow plowing if necessary.

The project is to be constructed according to the plans and specifications and quality control, compliance, and verification shall be performed by a professional selected by the Government or Government’s representatives.

PARKING AREA: Remove and/or replace existing parking curbs and sidewalks and some of the designated planting areas. Remove and properly dispose of existing vault toilet. Grind existing asphalt to a depth of 2-inches, regrade, compact and repave. Construct 780 LF 4” curb, 465 LF 8” curb and 500 SF sidewalks and concrete flatwork. Construct five-panel kiosk that includes sign panels and sidewalk. Furnish and install prefabricated concrete toilet building, trash receptacles, concrete DBAW Project sign, bench and solar lighting.

BOAT RAMP: Remove existing sidewalk and footings from ramp. Overlay existing ramp with 6” concrete and widen lower part of ramp from 15’ to 30’ wide. Construct new 8’ sidewalk with 630’ metal rail system.

Place 900 tons riprap. Furnish and install three concrete boarding floats. The boat ramp option items also include a cofferdam for dewatering with line item options for different sizes.

C.2 Location of Project

From Weaverville, take Highway 3 North for approximately 30 miles to Trinity Center. Turn right and follow signs to boat ramp.

C.3 Contract Requirement

Prior to beginning work, Contractor shall submit an Erosion Control Plan, Safety Plan, Schedule of Operations and Sign Plan (Traffic Control) for Closure.

C.4 Project Access

Representatives of the Department of Boating and Waterways shall be allowed access to all parts of the construction work. Work may not occur between May 21st and September 10th, unless water is below ramp level and/or approved by Contracting Officer. All roads for the project may be closed to traffic during construction. The Forest Service shall be given fifteen days prior notice of construction for public notification.

C.5 Sampling and Testing

The contractor will be required to complete all sampling and testing in accordance with the specifications. Sampling and testing does not have a separate pay item. Any cost associated with sampling and testing should be included in the associated bid item.

Trinity Center Boat Launch Improvement Project Page 10 of 36

C.6 Contractor’s Responsibilities

No placement or v-grooving of concrete for boat launching ramps on the Project shall be allowed until the construction contractor demonstrates proficiency in creating a satisfactory v-grooved surface by preparing a concrete test panel measuring no less than 6 feet by 4 feet. A DBW representative must accept the test panel before the construction contractor shall be allowed to place or v-groove concrete for boat launching ramps. Precast boat launching ramp panels are exempt from the test panel requirement, but must also be approved by a DBW representative prior to placement or installation.

Test panels must be adjacent to, but not part of, any ramp work to be completed and must remain accessible until all ramp work is completed and accepted by DBW. Contractor may incorporate test panel into other concrete work (i.e. trash enclosure, etc.)

Contractor and its subcontractors shall not unlawfully discriminate, harass, or allow harassment against any employee who is employed in the work covered by this contract or against any applicant for such employment because of sex, sexual orientation, race, color, ancestry, religious creed, national origin, physical disability (including HIV and AIDS), mental disability, medical condition, age, marital status and denial of family care leave, and that such provisions shall include, but not be limited to: employment, upgrading, promotion or transfer, recruitment or recruitment advertising, layoff or termination, rates of pay or other forms of compensation and selection for training including apprenticeship.

Contractor and its subcontractors shall comply with all air pollution and environmental control rules, regulation, ordinances and statues which apply to the Project and any work performed pursuant to this contract.

SECTION E - Inspection and Acceptance

E.1 Inspection of Construction FAR 52.246-12 (AUG 1996)

(a) Definition. “Work” includes, but is not limited to, materials, workmanship, and manufacture and fabrication of components.

(b) The Contractor shall maintain an adequate inspection system and perform such inspections as will ensure that the work performed under the contract conforms to contract requirements. The Contractor shall http://www.wfl.fha.dot.gov/design/specs/fp03.htm https://dbw.parks.ca.gov/pages/28702/files/lramps.pdf

Trinity Center Boat Launch Improvement Project Page 11 of 36 maintain complete inspection records and make them available to the Government. All work shall be conducted under the general direction of the Contracting Officer and is subject to Government inspection and test at all places and at all reasonable times before acceptance to ensure strict compliance with the terms of the contract.

(c) Government inspections and tests are for the sole benefit of the Government and do not—

(1) Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for providing adequate quality control measures;

(2) Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for damage to or loss of the material before acceptance;

(3) Constitute or imply acceptance; or

(4) Affect the continuing rights of the Government after acceptance of the completed work under paragraph (i) of this section.

(d) The presence or absence of a Government inspector does not relieve the Contractor from any contract requirement, nor is the inspector authorized to change any term or condition of the specification without the Contracting Officer’s written authorization.

(e) The Contractor shall promptly furnish, at no increase in contract price, all facilities, labor, and material reasonably needed for performing such safe and convenient inspections and tests as may be required by the Contracting Officer. The Government may charge to the Contractor any additional cost of inspection or test when work is not ready at the time specified by the Contractor for inspection or test, or when prior rejection makes reinspection or retest necessary. The Government shall perform all inspections and tests in a manner that will not unnecessarily delay the work. Special, full size, and performance tests shall be performed as described in the contract.

(f) The Contractor shall, without charge, replace or correct work found by the Government not to conform to contract requirements, unless in the public interest the Government consents to accept the work with an appropriate adjustment in contract price. The Contractor shall promptly segregate and remove rejected material from the premises.

(g) If the Contractor does not promptly replace or correct rejected work, the Government may—

(1) By contract or otherwise, replace or correct the work and charge the cost to the Contractor; or

(2) Terminate for default the Contractor’s right to proceed.

(h) If, before acceptance of the entire work, the Government decides to examine already completed work by removing it or tearing it out, the Contractor, on request, shall promptly furnish all necessary facilities, labor, and material. If the work is found to be defective or nonconforming in any material respect due to the fault of the Contractor or its subcontractors, the Contractor shall defray the expenses of the examination and of satisfactory reconstruction. However, if the work is found to meet contract requirements, the

Contracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment for the additional services involved in the examination and reconstruction, including, if completion of the work was thereby delayed, an extension of time.

(i) Unless otherwise specified in the contract, the Government shall accept, as promptly as practicable after completion and inspection, all work required by the contract or that portion of the work the Contracting

Officer determines can be accepted separately. Acceptance shall be final and conclusive except for latent defects, fraud, gross mistakes amounting to fraud, or the Government’s rights under any warranty or guarantee.

E.2 Inspection of Construction FAR 52.246-12 (AUG 1996)

Trinity Center Boat Launch Improvement Project Page 12 of 36

Government inspections are for the purpose of satisfying the Government that the supplies and/or services are acceptable and do not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for maintaining quality control. The Contractor (or designated representative) is encouraged to be present to observe inspections

Estimated start date is September 5th, 2018.

F.3 Schedules for Construction Contracts, FAR 52.236-15 (APR 1984)

(a) The Contractor shall, within five days after the work commences on the contract or another period of time determined by the Contracting Officer, prepare and submit to the Contracting Officer for approval three copies of a practicable schedule showing the order in which the Contractor proposes to perform the work, and the dates on which the Contractor contemplates starting and completing the several salient features of the work (including acquiring materials, plant, and equipment). The schedule shall be in the form of a progress chart of suitable scale to indicate appropriately the percentage of work scheduled for completion by any given date during the period. If the Contractor fails to submit a schedule within the time prescribed, the Contracting Officer may withhold approval of progress payments until the Contractor submits the required schedule.

(b) The Contractor shall enter the actual progress on the chart as directed by the Contracting Officer, and upon doing so shall immediately deliver three copies of the annotated schedule to the Contracting Officer. If, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, the Contractor falls behind the approved schedule, the Contractor shall take steps necessary to improve its progress, including those that may be required by the Contracting Officer, without additional cost to the Government. In this circumstance, the Contracting Officer may require the Contractor to increase the number of shifts, overtime operations, days of work, and/or the amount of construction plant, and to submit for approval any supplementary schedule or schedules in chart form as the Contracting Officer deems necessary to demonstrate how the approved rate of progress will be regained.

(c) Failure of the Contractor to comply with the requirements of the Contracting Officer under this clause shall be grounds for a determination by the Contracting Officer that the Contractor is not prosecuting the work with sufficient diligence to ensure completion within the time specified in the contract. Upon making this determination, the Contracting Officer may terminate the Contractor’s right to proceed with the work, or any separable part of it, in accordance with the default terms of this contract.

I.2 Affirmative Procurement of Biobased Products under Service and Construction Contracts, FAR

52.223-2 (SEP 2013)

(a) In the performance of this contract, the contractor shall make maximum use of biobased products that are United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)-designated items unless—

(1) The product cannot be acquired—

(i) Competitively within a time frame providing for compliance with the contract performance schedule;

(ii) Meeting contract performance requirements; or

(iii) At a reasonable price.

(2) The product is to be used in an application covered by a USDA categorical exemption (see 7 CFR 3201.3(e)). For example, all USDA-designated items are exempt from the preferred procurement requirement for the following:

(i) Spacecraft system and launch support equipment.

(ii) Military equipment, i.e., a product or system designed or procured for combat or combat-related missions.

(b) Information about this requirement and these products is available at http://www.biopreferred.gov.

(c) In the performance of this contract, the Contractor shall—

(1) Report to http://www.sam.gov, with a copy to the Contracting Officer, on the product types and dollar value of any USDA-designated biobased products purchased by the Contractor during the previous Government fiscal year, between October 1 and September 30; and

(2) Submit this report no later than—

(i) October 31 of each year during contract performance; and

(ii) At the end of contract performance.

I.3 Buy American—Construction Materials, FAR 52.225-9 (MAY 2014)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause—

“Commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) item”—

(1) Means any item of supply (including construction material) that is—

(i) A commercial item (as defined in paragraph (1) of the definition at FAR 2.101);

(ii) Sold in substantial quantities in the commercial marketplace; and

(iii) Offered to the Government, under a contract or subcontract at any tier, without modification, in the same form in which it is sold in the commercial marketplace; and

(2) Does not include bulk cargo, as defined in 46 U.S.C. 40102(4), such as agricultural products and petroleum products.

“Component” means an article, material, or supply incorporated directly into a construction material.

“Construction material” means an article, material, or supply brought to the construction site by the

Contractor or a subcontractor for incorporation into the building or work. The term also includes an item brought to the site preassembled from articles, materials, or supplies. However, emergency life safety systems, such as emergency lighting, fire alarm, and audio evacuation systems, that are discrete systems incorporated into a public building or work and that are produced as complete systems, are evaluated as a single and distinct construction material regardless of when or how the individual parts or components of http://www.biopreferred.gov/ http://www.sam.gov/ http://www.acquisition.gov/far/current/html/Subpart%202_1.html#wp1145508 http://uscode.house.gov/

Trinity Center Boat Launch Improvement Project Page 17 of 36 those systems are delivered to the construction site. Materials purchased directly by the Government are supplies, not construction material.

“Cost of components” means—

(3) For components purchased by the Contractor, the acquisition cost, including transportation costs to the place of incorporation into the construction material (whether or not such costs are paid to a domestic firm), and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free entry certificate is issued); or

(4) For components manufactured by the Contractor, all costs associated with the manufacture of the component, including transportation costs as described in paragraph (1) of this definition, plus allocable overhead costs, but excluding profit. Cost of components does not include any costs associated with the manufacture of the construction material.

“Domestic construction material” means—

(1) An unmanufactured construction material mined or produced in the United States;

(2) A construction material manufactured in the United States, if—

(i) The cost of its components mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States exceeds 50 percent of the cost of all its components. Components of foreign origin of the same class or kind for which nonavailability determinations have been made are treated as domestic; or

(ii) The construction material is a COTS item.

“Foreign construction material” means a construction material other than a domestic construction material.

“United States” means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and outlying areas.

(b) Domestic preference.

(1) This clause implements 41 U.S.C. chapter 83, Buy American, by providing a preference for domestic construction material. In accordance with 41 U.S.C. 1907, the component test of the Buy

American statute is waived for construction material that is a COTS item. (See FAR 12.505(a)(2)). The

Contractor shall use only domestic construction material in performing this contract, except as provided in paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this clause.

(2) This requirement does not apply to information technology that is a commercial item or to the construction materials or components listed by the Government as follows: NONE

[Contracting Officer to list applicable excepted materials or indicate “none”]

(3) The Contracting Officer may add other foreign construction material to the list in paragraph (b)(2) of this clause if the Government determines that—

(i) The cost of domestic construction material would be unreasonable. The cost of a particular domestic construction material subject to the requirements of the Buy American statute is unreasonable when the cost of such material exceeds the cost of foreign material by more than 6 percent;

(ii) The application of the restriction of the Buy American statute to a particular construction material would be impracticable or inconsistent with the public interest; or

(iii) The construction material is not mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities of a satisfactory quality.

(c) Request for determination of inapplicability of the Buy American statute.

(1)(i) Any Contractor request to use foreign construction material in accordance with paragraph (b)(3) of this clause shall include adequate information for Government evaluation of the request, including—

(A) A description of the foreign and domestic construction materials;

(B) Unit of measure;

(C) Quantity;

(D) Price;

(E) Time of delivery or availability;

(F) Location of the construction project;

(G) Name and address of the proposed supplier; and http://uscode.house.gov/ http://uscode.house.gov/ http://www.acquisition.gov/far/current/html/Subpart%2012_5.html#wp1077123

Trinity Center Boat Launch Improvement Project Page 18 of 36

(H) A detailed justification of the reason for use of foreign construction materials cited in accordance with paragraph (b)(3) of this clause.

(ii) A request based on unreasonable cost shall include a reasonable survey of the market and a completed price comparison table in the format in paragraph (d) of this clause.

(iii) The price of construction material shall include all delivery costs to the construction site and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free certificate may be issued).

(iv) Any Contractor request for a determination submitted after contract award shall explain why the

Contractor could not reasonably foresee the need for such determination and could not have requested the determination before contract award. If the Contractor does not submit a satisfactory explanation, the

Contracting Officer need not make a determination.

(2) If the Government determines after contract award that an exception to the Buy American statute applies and the Contracting Officer and the Contractor negotiate adequate consideration, the Contracting

Officer will modify the contract to allow use of the foreign construction material. However, when the basis for the exception is the unreasonable price of a domestic construction material, adequate consideration is not less than the differential established in paragraph (b)(3)(i) of this clause.

(3) Unless the Government determines that an exception to the Buy American statute applies, use of foreign construction material is noncompliant with the Buy American statute.

(d) Data. To permit evaluation of requests under paragraph (c) of this clause based on unreasonable cost, the Contractor shall include the following information and any applicable supporting data based on the survey of suppliers:

FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS PRICE COMPARISON

Construction Material Description Unit of Measure Quantity Price (Dollars)*

Item 1:

Foreign construction material _______ _______ _______

Domestic construction material _______ _______ _______

Item 2: _______ _______ _______

Foreign construction material _______ _______ _______

Domestic construction material

[List name, address, telephone number, and contact for suppliers surveyed. Attach copy of response; if oral, attach summary.]

[Include other applicable supporting information.]

[* Include all delivery costs to the construction site and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free entry certificate is issued).]

I.4 Bid Guarantee, FAR 52.228-1 (SEP 1996)

(a) Failure to furnish a bid guarantee in the proper form and amount, by the time set for opening of bids, may be cause for rejection of the bid.

(b) The bidder shall furnish a bid guarantee in the form of a firm commitment, e.g., bid bond supported by good and sufficient surety or sureties acceptable to the Government, postal money order, certified check, cashier's check, irrevocable letter of credit, or, under Treasury Department regulations, certain bonds or notes of the United States. The Contracting Officer will return bid guarantees, other than bid bonds -

(1) To unsuccessful bidders as soon as practicable after the opening of bids; and

(2) To the successful bidder upon execution of contractual documents and bonds (including any

Trinity Center Boat Launch Improvement Project Page 19 of 36 necessary coinsurance or reinsurance agreements), as required by the bid as accepted.

(c) The amount of the bid guarantee shall be 20 percent of the bid price or $3 Million, whichever is less.

(d) If the successful bidder, upon acceptance of its bid by the Government within the period specified for acceptance, fails to execute all contractual documents or furnish executed bond(s) within 10 days after receipt of the forms by the bidder, the Contracting Officer may terminate the contract for default.

(e) In the event the contract is terminated for default, the bidder is liable for any cost of acquiring the work that exceeds the amount of its bid, and the bid guarantee is available to offset the difference.

I.5 Order of Precedence—Uniform Contract Format, FAR 52.215-8 (OCT 1997)
