Procedures for protecting state-listed turtles during construction

The Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife has determined that this Project will occur within the actual habitat of the Eastern Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina), a species state-listed as Special Concern. This species and its habitats are protected in accordance with the rare species provisions of the MESA.

Based on a review of the information provided and the information currently contained in our database, the Division has determined that this project, as currently proposed, must be conditioned in order to avoid a prohibited Take of state-listed species (321 CMR 10.18(2)(a)). To avoid a prohibited Take of Eastern Box Turtle the following conditions must be met:

1. Before construction begins, the Contractor shall hire a Qualified Wildlife Biologist to train and certify those

Contractor employees who will be implementing the Protection Plan listed below under condition No.2.

They will be responsible for conducting daily sweeps prior to construction work at the beginning of the day and after any long periods of inactivity, e.g. lunch breaks. These will be active sweeps in front of any machinery. Any turtles found within this linear work area will be moved/relocated outside the work area by hand.

2. The Contractor shall submit an Eastern Box Turtle Protection Plan. Said Protection Plan must be approved in writing by the Division prior to the start of Work. The Division is available for consultation on the development of the plan.

3. The Contractor shall submit an Operations and Maintenance Plan for the proposed bike path, storm water structures and drainage areas. Said Plan must be approved in writing by the Division prior to the start of

Work.

4. The Contractor shall have a pre-construction site meeting with the Town of Truro Conservation

Commission representative/Conservation Agent. This meeting will occur prior to any construction activity beginning. The Conservation representative can review and approve the erosion control measures, e.g. straw wattle installation, at that time.

5. All erosion and sedimentation controls shall be removed and properly disposed of after the project is completed and as soon as surrounding areas are stabilized.

Any searches for state-listed turtles associated would occur during the turtle active season (April 15 – October

15). The construction period is estimated to occur from the middle of September 2020 to December 2020. Seeding operation will be completed from April 15 to June 30, 2021. See Construction Sequence on project drawing C1.0, Sheet 2 of 16. General Notes also provides some details.

The Contractor will construct both new trails; this work will include site clearing, grubbing and stump removal, asphalt pulverization, trail widening, paving, installation of crosswalks, minor grading and drainage improvements associated with the trail construction and the installation of signs, fencing, bollards and benches.

Tools to be used include chainsaws, a vibratory roller and small vibratory whacker/compactor. Staff will mechanically cut and fill for the stabilized flat path surface with heavy equipment, including a front-end loader, a skid steer loader to create the path, and dump trucks to deliver materials. Trucks and equipment will stage and

SCC - 2

CACO – 253235 SPECIAL CONSTRUCTION CONDITIONS

access project areas on the parking lot or the driveway to the work site and keep to the pathway. Any mechanical equipment used will be taken off site each day.

The work area is under 1 acre for the project. Straw wattles will be employed throughout the project area in lieu of silt fence as the project duration will be so short, particularly use of any heavy equipment.

A state scientific collection permit is not needed for resource management activities within national park units.

SECTION 01 32 16 – CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

A. This Section consists of Construction Schedule requirements including but not limited to the following:

1. Schedule of Values

2. Construction Schedule Requirements.

3. Construction Schedule Updates.

4. Time Impact Analysis.

B. Purpose: The purpose of the Construction Schedule is to ensure adequate planning, coordination, scheduling, and reporting during execution of the work by the Contractor. The Construction

Schedule will assist the Contractor and Contracting Officer in monitoring the progress of the work, evaluating proposed changes, and processing the Contractor's monthly progress payment.

1.2 DEFINITIONS

A. Activity: A discrete part of a project that can be identified for planning, scheduling, monitoring, and controlling the construction project. Activities included in a construction schedule consume time and resources.

1. Critical activities are activities on the critical path. They must start and finish on the planned early start and finish times.

2. Predecessor Activity: An activity that precedes another activity in the network.

3. Successor Activity: An activity that follows another activity in the network.

B. Cost Loading: The allocation of the Schedule of Values for the completion of an activity as scheduled. The sum of costs for all activities must equal the total Contract Sum, unless otherwise approved by the Contracting Officer.

C. CPM: Critical path method, which is a method of planning and scheduling a construction project where activities are arranged based on activity relationships. Network calculations determine when activities can be performed and the critical path of Project.

D. Critical Path: The longest connected chain of interdependent activities through the network schedule that establishes the minimum overall Project duration and contains no float.

E. Float: The measure of leeway in starting and completing an activity.

1. Float: Float is not for the exclusive use or benefit of either the Government or the

Contractor but is jointly owned.

2. Free float is the amount of time an activity can be delayed without adversely affecting the early start of the successor activity.

CACO - 191717 01 32 16 - 2

3. Total float is the measure of leeway in starting or completing an activity without adversely affecting the planned Project completion date.

F. Resource Loading: The allocation of manpower and equipment necessary for the completion of an activity as scheduled.

G. Fragnet: A partial or fragmentary network that breaks down activities into smaller activities for greater detail.

1.3 SUBMITTALS

A. Electronic Copies: All schedules and reports submitted shall be posted on the NPS DSC

SharePoint project website, provided in the native electronic file format. It is the intent of the

Government to limit the number of printed reports to only those reports determined by the project team to be essential.

B. Schedule of Values: After contract award and before the Pre-Construction conference submit a schedule of dollar values based on the Contract Price Schedule.

C. Construction Baseline Schedule: After contract award and before the Pre-Construction conference, submit two paper copies of baseline schedule, large enough to show entire schedule for entire construction period.

D. CPM Reports: Concurrent with CPM schedule, submit three paper copies of each of the following computer-generated reports. Format for each activity in reports shall contain activity number, activity description, resource loading, original duration, remaining duration, early start date, early finish date, late start date, late finish date, and total float in calendar days.

1. Activity Report: List of all activities sorted by activity number and then early start date, or actual start date if known.

2. Logic Report: List of predecessor and successor tasks for all activities, sorted in ascending order by activity number and then early start date, or actual start date if known.

3. Total Float Report: List of all activities sorted in ascending order of total float.

E. Construction Schedule Updates: On or before the 7th day preceding the progress payment request date, submit estimates of the percent completion of each schedule activity and necessary supporting data. Provide two paper copies.
