The unit price and payment made for each item listed constitutes full compensation for furnishing all plant, labor, materials, and equipment, and performing any associated Contractor quality control, environmental protection, meeting safety requirements, tests and reports, and for performing all work required for each of the unit price items.

1.4.1 Payment Item No. 0003 Dredging Main Footprint of the Craney Island Eastward Expansion to -41 Feet MLLW with Placement at NODS

Measurement and payment for Dredging will be made of the volume of material removed by dredging within the Dredging Prism as shown and in accordance with this Section. Dredging Prism is: the required dredging prism covering the project depth and width dimensions; and side slopes

SECTION 01 20 00 Page 3 exclusive of overdepth. Reference is made to the BID SCHEDULE which itemizes the estimated quantities of materials indicated in the dredging prism and will be the basis for variations in estimated quantities.

1.4.1.1 Payment

Payment for Dredging will be made at the applicable contract price which payment must constitute full compensation for dredging, coordination with Quality Assurance sampling and testing activities, monitoring, disposal of dredged materials at the designated disposal site, weather delays, idle time of the dredger, contractor's plant and attendant craft due to stoppages caused by ship traffic or debris, rubbish, foreign objects or obstructions and obstacles found in or on the seabed, complete.

Determination of final dredged quantities after having once been paid for, will not be reopened, except on evidence of collusion, fraud or obvious error. Monthly partial payments will be based on approximate quantities determined by Contractor progress, the approved Progress Schedule, and estimated quantities dredged. Allowable Overdepth: Two feet of allowable overdepth within the Main Footprint.

1.4.1.2 Unit of Measure

Unit of measure: cubic yard

The total amount of material dredged will be measured by computing the volume between the bottom surface shown by the soundings of the Government's pre-dredge survey, and the bottom surface shown by the soundings of the Government's post-dredge survey along with the dredging prism and in accordance with the survey time frame specified herein. The plans are believed to represent conditions existing as of the survey date shown and were primarily used in the design and quantity estimates only, and are not intended to be used for measurement and payment for dredging.

Misplaced materials (including any required removal and placement), excessive overdepth dredging and material falling or drawn into the cut from beyond the side slope plane or beyond the limits indicated will be excluded from the quantities for which payment will be made. Excessive overdepth dredging is considered any dredging outside of the allowable dredging prism as defined above. Commercially available software, the Triangulated Irregular Networks (TIN) made from post-processed survey soundings, representing the pre-dredge and post-dredge dredging conditions, will be used for quantity determination. Post-processed survey soundings includes reduction of data points by binning the multi-beam data into a maximum 3-foot by 3-foot cell size, using the average of all depths recorded in the cell as representative of the depth of cell center for computation purposes. The method of reducing the survey sounding data, including the cell size and the cell representative depth, is subject to change by the Contracting Officer. The dredging prism must be subtracted from the TINs, and the pre-dredge difference minus the post-dredge difference will represent the quantity dredged.

1.4.2 Payment Item No. 0004 Dredging Main Footprint Access Channels of the Craney Island Eastward Expansion to -25 Feet MLLW with Placement at NODS

Measurement and payment for Dredging will be made of the volume of material removed by dredging within the Dredging Prism as shown and in accordance with this Section. Dredging Prism is: the required dredging prism covering the project depth and width dimensions; and side slopes exclusive of overdepth. Reference is made to the BID SCHEDULE which itemizes the estimated quantities of materials indicated in the dredging

SECTION 01 20 00 Page 4 prism and will be the basis for variations in estimated quantities.

1.4.2.1 Payment

Payment for Dredging will be made at the applicable contract price which payment must constitute full compensation for dredging, coordination with Quality Assurance sampling and testing activities, monitoring, disposal of dredged materials at the designated disposal site, weather delays, idle time of the dredger, contractor's plant and attendant craft due to stoppages caused by ship traffic or debris, rubbish, foreign objects or obstructions and obstacles found in or on the seabed, complete.

Determination of final dredged quantities after having once been paid for, will not be reopened, except on evidence of collusion, fraud or obvious error. Monthly partial payments will be based on approximate quantities determined by Contractor progress, the approved Progress Schedule, and estimated quantities dredged. Allowable Overdepth: Two feet of allowable overdepth within the Main Footprint Access Channels.

1.4.2.2 Unit of Measure

Unit of measure: cubic yard

The total amount of material dredged will be measured by computing the volume between the bottom surface shown by the soundings of the Government's pre-dredge survey, and the bottom surface shown by the soundings of the Government's post-dredge survey along with the dredging prism and in accordance with the survey time frame specified herein. The plans are believed to represent conditions existing as of the survey date shown and were primarily used in the design and quantity estimates only, and are not intended to be used for measurement and payment for dredging.

Misplaced materials (including any required removal and placement), excessive overdepth dredging and material falling or drawn into the cut from beyond the side slope plane or beyond the limits indicated will be excluded from the quantities for which payment will be made. Excessive overdepth dredging is considered any dredging outside of the allowable dredging prism as defined above. Commercially available software, the Triangulated Irregular Networks (TIN) made from post-processed survey soundings, representing the pre-dredge and post-dredge dredging conditions, will be used for quantity determination. Post-processed survey soundings includes reduction of data points by binning the multi-beam data into a maximum 3-foot by 3-foot cell size, using the average of all depths recorded in the cell as representative of the depth of cell center for computation purposes. The method of reducing the survey sounding data, including the cell size and the cell representative depth, is subject to change by the Contracting Officer. The dredging prism must be subtracted from the TINs, and the pre-dredge difference minus the post-dredge difference will represent the quantity dredged.

1.4.3 Payment Item No. 0005 Contracting Officer Directed Standby Time

The contract price per day for Contracting Officer directed standby time must include the Contractor's costs for holding his plant, equipment, and crew on site until further direction is given by the Contracting Officer.
