SECTION 00 33 50 WEATHER, WATER STAGE AND TIDE DATA
SECTION 00 33 50 Page 1
1. The following water stage, wind, wave, and weather data are provided for inclusion into the subject P&S. The water level datums provided here are for information only and are not for use in conjunction with any contract-related hydrographic surveying.
a) Water Stages. Water levels in the project area are mainly affected by wind and semi-diurnal tidal fluctuations from the Atlantic Ocean. The project area is subject to tropical system storm surge from June through November. Surge from extratropical storms may affect the area any time of the year.
Elevations of tidal datums in the vicinity of the project area were gathered using the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Ocean Service (NOS) tide stations shown in Figure 1 and Table 1. These data are referenced to Mean Lower-Low Water (MLLW) from the tidal epoch period of 1983 – 2001 and are based on a controlling tide station near Fernandina, Florida (NOAA Tide Station 8720030). Additional tidal data on stations in the vicinity of the subject project area can be found at the following website:
https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/map/index.html?region=Florida.
The elevations in Table 1 were taken from NOAA’s Tide Station 8720030 (Fernandina Beach, Nassau County, FL). These datums are based two analyses from 01 January 1983 to 31 December 1984 and 01 January 1997 to 31 December 2001 from a gauge on the backside of Amelia Island, which is roughly 0.2 miles (mi) east of the project area.

Daily tidal predictions at locations along the coastline of North and South America, including locations in the vicinity of the project area, are included in the publication East Coast of North and South America Tide Tables, United States (U.S.) Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Ocean Service. In addition to daily tidal predictions, this publication provides mean tide levels, diurnal tide ranges, and some astronomical data (sunrise, sunset, moonrise, and moonset). Of note, tidal data provided in this publication are also listed at the following website: https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/tide_predictions.html.
b) Wind and Wave Data. The publications in this section include wind and wave information in the vicinity of the project area. They are available for review at the websites or agencies indicated.
1. U.S. Coast Pilot Volume 4, Atlantic Coast: Cape Henry to Key West, U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Ocean Service is a publication that supplements the navigational information shown on NOAA’s NOS nautical charts and provides miscellaneous meteorological data. This publication is available through NOAA or on the following website: https://nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/publications/coast-pilot/index.html.
2. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Coastal & Hydraulics Laboratory, Wave Information Study (WIS) Database is a wave hindcast database for various stations located along the U.S.
Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean coastlines. WIS Station 63401 is located in roughly 17.0 meters (m) of water relative to the Mean Sea Level (MSL) datum (i.e. 55.8 feet [ft] MSL) at 30° 40.2' N, 81° 15.0' W. This station lies approximately 12.0 mi east of the mouth of the St. Marys River. Available data includes a hindcast time series of wave heights, periods, and directions taken at 1-hour intervals for the 35-year period of 1980 – 2014. The following website provides links to WIS summary tables and plots, as well as other sources of wave data: http://wis.usace.army.mil/.
3. National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) Website provides a wide range of real-time and archived meteorological and oceanographic data collected at offshore and nearshore stations worldwide. Data provided on this website include wind speed, wind gusts, atmospheric pressure, air temperature, sea temperature, wave height, and wave period. Gauge readings are updated https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/tide_predictions.html https://nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/publications/coast-pilot/index.html http://wis.usace.army.mil/
SECTION 00 33 50 Page 3 hourly, and archived data is available for most stations. The website address for data relevant to Florida projects is http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/maps/Florida.shtml.
c) Weather Conditions. The project area is subject to tropical systems June through November and to windy and rainy weather any time of the year. The climate of the area is essentially tropical, as temperatures below freezing are seldom. During the wet season (May through October), rainfall events are usually short and sporadic and closely associated with convective activity. Winter months generally constitute the dry season, where rainfall is typically associated with mid-latitude, or extratropical, systems and distributed in a more spatially uniform pattern. Daily rainfall events in the dry season are occasionally heavy when mid-latitude systems impact northeast Florida.
Notably, hazardous thunderstorms can occur in this area at any time of the year.
1. It is the contractor's responsibility to obtain information concerning weather conditions in the project area. The Climate Data Online website (http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/) published by NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (formerly the National Climatic Data Center) in Asheville, North Carolina contains climatological and meteorological data relevant to this region. Available data includes quality-controlled daily, monthly, seasonal, and yearly measurements of temperature, precipitation, wind, and degree days as well as radar data and 30-year climate normals.
NOAA’s Climate Data Online website also includes 1981 – 2010 Monthly Normals at the following website: http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/datatools/normals. This product provides monthly average values for temperature, precipitation, and other information. NOAA’s Fernandina Beach, FL gauge (ID USW00082944) lies roughly 1.0 miles east of the project area at 30° 40.0' N, 81° 27.2' W, where monthly normal rainfall data are provided over the period of record from January 2010 to December 2010.

1.7 LAYOUT OF WORK
Read this paragraph in conjunction with the Clause LAYOUT OF WORK (FAR 52.236-17) of Section 00700 CONTRACT CLAUSES in Volume 1.
1.7.1 Established Project Control
The Government has established monuments along the work site(s). Each monument is represented in the contract drawings by a Designation and in most cases, an alphanumeric Permanent Identifier (PID). Information concerning the location and elevations can be found within the Survey Notes on the plan sheets. The Survey Notes for each included field survey will cite a particular survey number, and specify the control used to conduct that survey. Additional information is included in the Survey Notes that must be duplicated if an attempt to recreate the subject survey is desired.
For navigation channels, the Government has established tidal calibration sites for projects constructed and maintained to a tidal datum. Each tidal calibration site is represented in the plan sheet drawings by Station ID, and is cited in the Survey Notes. All projects constructed and maintained to a tidal datum must be calibrated to the Station ID specified in the plan sheet drawings. Information regarding the location and associated benchmarks of the referenced Station ID is included in the Monument Description section of these specifications.
See Section 00 31 21 CONTROL MONUMENT DESCRIPTIONS.
1.7.2 Layout
From the monuments, control data and elevations established by the Government, complete the layout of the work and obtain all measurements that may be required for the execution of the work to the location and limit marks prescribed in the specifications or on the contract drawings, subject to such modifications as the Contracting Officer may require to meet changed conditions or as a result of necessary modifications to the contract work.
1.7.3 Survey
Furnish, at no additional expense, such stakes, templates, platforms, equipment, tools and material, and all labor as may be required in laying out any part of the work from the monuments, control data and elevations established by the Government. Maintain and preserve all stakes and other marks established by the Contracting Officer until authorized to remove them, and if such marks are destroyed by the Contractor or through his
SECTION 01 11 00 Page 4 negligence, prior to their authorized removal, they may be replaced by the Contracting Officer, at his discretion, and the expense of replacement will be deducted from any amounts due or to become due the Contractor.
The Contracting Officer may require that work be suspended at any time when location and limit marks established by the Contractor are not reasonably adequate to permit checking of the work.
1.8 DAMAGE TO WORK
The responsibility for damage to any part of the permanent work will be as set forth in Clause PERMITS AND RESPONSIBILITIES of Section 00700 CONTRACT CLAUSES in Volume 1. However, if, in the judgment of the Contracting Officer, any part of the permanent work performed by the Contractor is damaged by flood, earthquake, hurricane, or tornado, which damage is not due to the failure of the Contractor to take reasonable precautions or to exercise sound engineering and construction practices in the conduct of the work, the Contractor will make the repairs as ordered by the Contracting Officer and full compensation for such repairs will be made at the applicable contract unit or lump sum prices as fixed and established in the contract. If, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, there are no contract unit or lump sum prices applicable to any part of such work, an equitable adjustment pursuant to Clause CHANGES of Section 00700 CONTRACT CLAUSES in Volume 1 will be made as full compensation for the repairs of that part of the permanent work for which there are no applicable contract unit or lump sum prices. Except as herein provided, damage to all work (including temporary construction), utilities, materials, equipment and plant must be repaired to the satisfaction of the Contracting Officer at the Contractor's expense, regardless of the cause of such damage.
1.9 TIME EXTENSIONS FOR UNUSUALLY SEVERE WEATHER (31 OCT 1989)
This provision specifies the procedure for the determination of time extensions for unusually severe weather in accordance with the Clause DEFAULT (FIXED-PRICE CONSTRUCTION) of Section 00700 CONTRACT CLAUSES in Volume 1. In order for the Contracting Officer to award a time extension under this clause, the following conditions must be satisfied:
a. The weather experienced at the project site during the contract period must be found to be unusually severe; that is, more severe than the adverse weather anticipated for the project location during any given month.
b. The unusually severe weather must actually cause a delay to the completion of the project. The delay must be beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor.
1.9.1 Contractor Responsibility
The project area may be affected by stormy, windy and/or rainy weather, including thunderstorms, during any time of the year. Obtain information concerning rain, wind and wave conditions that could influence safety, hauling and placement operations prior to submitting a proposal or bid.
a. Research the project site conditions and incorporate potential adverse weather delays into their schedule prior to submitting a proposal or bid. Develop a schedule of monthly anticipated adverse weather based on the equipment to be used to complete the project and determine the conditions that would cause them to cease operations
SECTION 01 11 00 Page 5 using the sources provided in Section 00 33 50 WEATHER, WATER STAGE AND TIDE DATA. The Contractor's progress schedule must reflect these anticipated adverse weather delays in all weather dependent activities.
b. Upon acknowledgment of the Notice to Proceed (NTP) and continuing throughout the contract, the Contractor will record on the daily CQC report the occurrence of adverse weather and unusually severe weather with the purpose to note impact to normally scheduled work. Actual adverse weather delay days must prevent work on critical activities for 50 percent or more of the Contractor's schedule to be considered "unusually severe weather".
c. The number of actual adverse weather delay days will include days impacted by actual adverse weather, be calculated chronologically from the first to the last day of each month, and be recorded as full days. If the number of actual adverse weather delay days exceeds the number of days anticipated for adverse weather by the Contractor, the Contracting Officer may convert any qualifying delays to calendar days, giving full consideration for equivalent fair weather work days that should have been anticipated for the conditions at the project location.
