2.2 PROTECTION OF TREES

Trees outside of the clearing and grubbing limits or trees designated to remain must be protected as indicated below. The location of the tree protection fence must be staked by the Contractor and approved by the Contracting Officer.

The following measures must be implemented for tree protection and must be addressed in the Environmental Protection Plan required under Section

01 57 20.00 13 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION:

a. The trees must be protected from wounds to the bark and foliage.

b. The critical root zone must be protected from compaction and grading.

c. Changes in temporary site drainage and ponding that affect the protected trees must be minimized to the extent possible.

The critical root zone of trees designated to be protected must be surrounded by a high visibility fence 4 feet in height, supplied and erected by the Contractor. The critical root zone is defined by an area extending 1.5 feet radius from each tree for each inch of Diameter at Breast Height (DBH). The fence must be securely erected and installed prior to any movement through the project site by construction vehicles or equipment, and remain in place until construction and clean-up are completed. The critical root zone must remain free of all construction activities including trenching, staging, stockpiling and storage of materials. Vehicles and equipment must not drive or park within the

SECTION 01 14 00.00 13 Page 3 April 18, 2025 critical root zone.

Short duration alterations of the critical root zone involving wood chips and limited equipment travel must be submitted in writing for approval.

Do not operate equipment in vegetated areas outside the work limits.

2.2.1 Restoration of Damaged Trees

Any existing tree designated to be protected that is damaged by the Contractor's operations must be replaced. Trees will be considered damaged if the critical root zone in cohesive soils is compacted, if there are significant wounds that could contribute to rot, or if distress (evident by reduced growth or other observations of distress documented by a forester) is observed prior to closing the contract. Trees must be replaced in kind on a caliper inch per caliper inch basis (DBH) (e.g. one 6-inch red oak must be replaced with two 3-inch red oaks, three 2-inch red oaks, or six 1-inch red oaks). Replacement tree size and location will be determined and staked by the Contracting Officer. Repair by pruning, aeration, soil conditioning, or other recommendation from a qualified forester will be considered by the Contracting Officer for substitution for replacement.

2.3 CONTRACTOR PROPOSED BORROW AND DISPOSAL AREAS

Any borrow and/or disposal areas proposed by the Contractor that are not already identified by the Government as approved for this project are subject to approval by the Contracting Officer. Evaluation requirements for suitability of Contractor proposed borrow materials are addressed in Section 31 00 00.00 13 EARTHWORK. Proposed borrow and/or disposal areas which involve the excavation or placement of material within cultural sites, wetlands, wooded areas, floodplain areas, or other environmentally sensitive sites may not be approved. The use of Contractor proposed borrow and/or disposal areas that are not preapproved may require the Government to prepare an environmental assessment. Preparation of an assessment would be completed by the Government at no cost to the Contractor. However, this may require additional review time and may result in additional requirements to offset environmental effects associated with the use of the proposed borrow and/or disposal areas. Unless the Contractor's proposed borrow and/or disposal areas are active commercial operations or are sites that have already been approved by the Government for this project, they must not be used for the project unless coordination with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) regarding a previous or current Phase I cultural resources survey of the proposed borrow pit or disposal site is completed and documented. All costs associated with development of a new Phase I cultural resource survey to evaluate any Contractor selected borrow and/or disposal area as well as any costs associated with additional requirements for an environmental assessment must be borne by the Contractor. Also, there will be no schedule revisions based on the additional time required by the Government to evaluate the proposed borrow and/or disposal areas.

2.4 EXISTING FACILITIES

Contractor must protect existing gatewells structure and concrete pipes at station 38+47 and station 49+78 as shown on the as-built drawings. Prior to starting work, inspect and document the condition of the gatewells and

d. Other Changes. Other changes required due to delays in completion of any activity or group of activities include unusually severe weather, product procurement, or other delays or work stoppages which make re-planning the work necessary.

3.7 REQUESTS FOR TIME EXTENSIONS

Provide a justification of delay to the Contracting Officer in accordance with the contract clauses for approval within 10 days of a delay occurring. Also prepare a time impact analysis for each Government request for proposal (RFP) to justify time extensions.

3.7.1 Justification of Delay

Provide a description of the event(s) that caused the delay and/or impact to the work. As part of the description, identify all schedule activities impacted. Show that the event that caused the delay/impact was the responsibility of the Government. Provide a time impact analysis that demonstrates the effects of the delay or impact on the project completion date or interim completion date(s). Evaluate multiple impacts chronologically; each with its own justification of delay. With multiple impacts consider any concurrence of delay. A time extension becomes part of the project schedule and all future schedule updates upon approval by the Contracting Officer.

3.7.2 Time Extension

The Contracting Officer must approve the Justification of Delay including the time impact analysis before a time extension will be granted. No time extension will be granted unless the delay consumes all available Project Float and extends the projected finish date ("End Project" milestone) beyond the Contract Completion Date. The time extension will be in calendar days. Actual delays that are found to be caused by the Contractor's own actions, which result in a calculated schedule delay will not be a cause for an extension to the performance period, completion date, or any interim milestone date.

SECTION 01 32 01.00 10 Page 8 April 18, 2025

3.8 RECOVERY SCHEDULE

Should the Contracting Officer find it necessary, submit a recovery schedule pursuant to FAR 52.236-15 Schedules for Construction Contracts.
