1 OVERVIEW

1.1 PROJECT INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Idaho Falls District, Upper Snake Field Office (USFO), requires a Design-Build Contractor (DBC) to provide complete and integrated design and construction services for the Conant Bank Stabilization and Parking Area Expansion Project located at the Conant Boat Access site.

The Conant Boat Access is a public recreation site that includes a primary concrete boat ramp with an associated parking area and restroom facilities, as well as a secondary aggregate and timber raft launch/take-out with its own parking area and restroom facilities. The site provides critical recreational access to the South Fork of the Snake River and serves approximately 200,000 visitors annually. Since 2004, ongoing riverbank erosion has compromised the safety and functionality of the raft launch/take-out and the adjacent riverbank, while also contributing to sediment deposition at the primary concrete boat ramp.

The recreation site is in need of riverbank stabilization and restoration or relocation of the associated raft launch/take-out. The site also needs expansion of the raft launch/take-out parking area.

The Statement of Work outlines the design and construction work to be completed by the DBC.

The fencing shall define the construction zone and confine activity to the minimum area required for construction. All protection measures shall be clearly stated in the construction documents, and workers will be instructed to avoid conducting activities beyond the construction zone as defined by the construction zone fencing.

Protection of Public: Fence, barricade, or otherwise block off the immediate work area to prevent unauthorized entry. Erect and maintain fencing, barricades, lights, signals, and warning signs in accordance with the most current version of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices

(MUTCD).

5.4.4 Parking of Construction Vehicles

Parking of vehicles shall be limited to existing roads, in legally designated areas, and within approved staging area(s).

Commented [TS5]: This is vague. What do you mean? Are you saying the construction office trailer may need to be located elsewhere on site? If so, where?

Commented [JB6R5]: Altered to hopefully be less vague.

5.5 SUBMITTALS DURING CONSTRUCTION

5.5.1 Applicability

The DBC shall be responsible for coordinating construction submittals between the design and construction teams. The Government does not typically require action submittals on all materials in a Design-Build contract but may request involvement in reviewing submittals that will directly impact the functionality or aesthetics of a project (e.g. paint colors, finishes, control systems, hardware, etc.). The DBC shall coordinate with the Government what submittals will require Government action prior to the commencement of construction and shall submit a revised “Submittal List” form accordingly.

5.5.2 Construction Submittal Types:

Where the Government requests involvement in submittal review during construction, there shall be two submittal types that the DBC shall utilize:

5.5.2.1 Action Submittals

Written, graphic information, and physical samples that require Government’s responsive action. Submittal shall include:

• Product Data: Collect information into a single submittal for each element of construction and type of product or equipment.

• Shop Drawings: Prepare project-specific information, drawn accurately to scale.

Do not base Shop Drawings on reproductions of the Contract Documents or standard printed data.

• Samples: Submit Samples for review of kind, color, pattern, and texture for a check of these characteristics with other elements and for a comparison of these characteristics between submittal and actual component as delivered and installed.

• Construction Materials: The DBC is encouraged to submit for approval products made out of recycled or environmentally responsible material. Every effort will be made by the Government to approve these materials.

5.5.2.2 Informational Submittals

Written information that does not require Government’s responsive action. Submittals may be rejected for not complying with requirements.

• General: Prepare and submit Informational Submittals required by individual Specification Sections.

• Informational submittals include but are not limited to Coordination Drawings, Certificates, Test reports, Manufacturer’s instructions, Division 01 Management Plans, etc.

5.5.2.3 Value Engineering Change Proposal (VECP) Submittals

Written value analysis and cost optimization information that require Government’s responsive action. Submittals shall include:

• A description of the difference between the existing contract requirement and that proposed, the comparative advantages and disadvantages of each, a justification

Design-Build Statement of Work

03/30/2026 when an item’s function or characteristics are being altered, and the effect of the change on the end item’s performance.

• A list and analysis of the contract requirements that must be changed if the VECP is accepted, including any suggested specification revisions.

• A separate, detailed cost estimate for:

o The affected portions of the existing contract requirement and o The VECP

The cost reduction associated with the VECP shall take into account the Contractor’s allowable development and implementation costs, including any amount attributable to subcontracts under paragraph (h) of this clause.

• A description and estimate of costs the Government may incur in implementing the VECP, such as test and evaluation and operating and support costs.

• A prediction of any effects the proposed change would have on collateral costs to the agency.

• A statement of the time by which a contract modification accepting the VECP must be issued in order to achieve the maximum cost reduction, noting any effect on the contract completion time or delivery schedule.

• Identification of any previous submissions of the VECP, including the dates submitted, the agencies and contract numbers involved, and previous Government actions, if known.

5.5.3 Government Review of Construction Submittals

5.5.3.1 Processing Time

Allow enough time for submittal review, including time for resubmittals. Time for review shall commence when the submittal is received by the Government and is ready for review.

When the Government has completed their review, the submittal review form will be sent to the DBC indicating the status of submittal approval. No extension of the Contract Time will be authorized because of failure to transmit submittals far enough in advance of the Work to permit processing, including re-submittals.

• Action Submittals: Allow 15 calendar days for initial review of each submittal.

Allow additional time if coordination with subsequent submittals is required.

• Informational submittals: Allow ten (10) calendar days for review of each submittal.

5.5.3.2 Submittal Format

All submittals to the Government shall be electronic. Identify and incorporate information in each electronic submittal file as follows:

• CM-16 Transmittal Form: All submittals shall be transmitted using Bureau of Land Management CM-16 form. The electronic version of the form can be obtained from the Government (or designee). No action will be taken on a submittal item unless accompanied by the CM-16 transmittal form.

o Complete the general information at the top of the form.

o Provide all required information based on the submittal type o Attach all related documents.

Commented [TS7]: Do you have this form? I don’t remember it.

Commented [JB8R7]: Yes, it is the same form that is in your COR Forms folder but labeled 01330a -submittal form. The bottom right corner of the form shows it as CM-16 Rev. 04/00.

Design-Build Statement of Work

03/30/2026 o Sign a hard copy or electronically sign the CM-16 form in the DBC section at the bottom of the form and send the completed form to the Government (or designee).

• Physical samples: Complete the CM-16 form and send the completed form to the Government (or designee). Deliver the physical sample to the Government (or designee) on site for processing. All comments and actions shall be documented on the CM-16 form.

Alternately, with the approval of the Government, a web-based submittal system may be used. Verify with the Government that access can be granted, and the system is accessible to the project stakeholders.

5.5.3.3 Government Review Response

Government will review each submittal, generate comments on corrections or modifications required, and indicate the appropriate action on the CM-16 Transmittal Form.

The submittal will be marked in one of three ways as defined below:

• Approved: Acceptable with no corrections.

• Approved with Notations: Minor corrections or clarifications required. All comments are clear, and no further review is required. The DBC shall address all review comments when proceeding with the work.

• Disapproved – Resubmit: Rejected as not in accordance with the contract or as requiring major corrections or clarifications. The Government will identify the reasons for disapproval. The DBC shall revise and resubmit with changes clearly identified.

5.5.4 Use for Construction

Use only final submittals with mark indicating “Approved” or “Approved with notations”. Ensure all notations have been incorporated and, at a minimum, keep one copy of the final approved submittal on site for use during construction.

5.6 CONSTRUCTION COORDINATION

The Government will provide all necessary written notification and/or direction to the DBC. An on-site Government Project Inspector (PI) will coordinate the DBC’s construction efforts with the site staff’s daily operations and will transmit and receive correspondence between the Government and the DBC. However, the PI will have no authority to accept or reject work, or to authorize changes to the terms and conditions of the contracts, or to obligate the Government for time or money.

5.7 CONSTRUCTION PHOTOGRAPHIC DOCUMENTATION

The DBC shall use StructionSite or similar software for digital image documentation of progress. The DBC and the Government will develop a photo location plan. Images should be taken weekly. The Government anticipates approximately 50 images per week depending on construction and project complexity. Upon completion of the site, final images and location drawings are to be downloaded and provided to the Government.

5.8 CONSTRUCTION QUALITY CONTROL

The DBC and its construction subcontractors shall operate under a current, appropriate construction contracting licenses issued by State of the project location, in accordance with applicable State regulations.

Commented [TS9]: Why won’t the PI have the authority to reject work?

Commented [JB10R9]: When I was a PI, I never had the authority to accept or reject work or materials. That responsibility was given to the COR. I did go back and verify that with my past Appointment as Project Inspector memo and the COR’s delegation memo.

Commented [TS11R9]: PI’s should always have the authority to reject work for nonconformance with the requirements of the contract and issue Notices of Noncompliance to that effect.
