Included in this work item is the transportation of this debris off of National Forest lands as well as the legal and proper disposal in an approved manner. The grubbing of vegetative material from within the material disposal site and preparing this location for the disposal of the dam fill material includes the chipping of woody vegetation which may be used on site as mulch as part of the final erosion control work item.

The composition of the main dam embankment is characterized by the geotechnical boring logs presented in Attachment 1. The volume of fill material to be relocated to the disposal site is described in Table 1 in the drawings, and compensation for this work item is lump sum. This work item includes all activities associated with the relocation and grading of material. An optional bid item to relocate embankment fill material to the disposal site from the auxiliary dam is also included.

All work shall be performed in accordance with project specifications, regulatory requirements, and all provisions of International Codes.

H.6 CONFORMITY WITH DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS

Unless working tolerances are specified, all work performed and materials furnished shall be in reasonably close conformity with lines, grades, cross sections, dimensions, and material requirements shown on the drawings, indicated in the specifications, or designated on the ground.

3. Constitute or imply acceptance; or

4. Affect the continuing rights of the Government after acceptance of the completed work under paragraph (I) below.

h.

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.
