PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 - Location.

An overview map of the sites is located on Sheet C-01 of the CMFC – SOURGRASS WATER SYSTEM REHABILITATION PLANS (Drawings). Specific site map locations are shown in the applicable section of the Drawings.

1.2 - Site Work and Utilities

General All work will be completed in accordance with CMFC Sourgrass Water System Rehabilitation Project Specifications (Specifications) and Drawings. The work includes:

all labor, material, and equipment necessary to perform all the operations for the work specified.

Scope of work The work described in these specifications is on the USFS Sourgrass Water System on the Calaveras Ranger District, Stanislaus National Forest. There are three tasks:

A. TASK 1: Place 3900 lineal feet of new supply waterline from Hummingbird Spring (Source) to a point before the water tank (Storage) as shown on Drawings.

B. TASK 2: Place two 500-600 gallon pressure equalization tanks on the distribution waterline between the water tank and first distribution point (Sourgrass Day Use Area).

Replumb two existing Pressure Reducing Valves (PRVs) in the Sourgrass Day Use Area and reconnect waterline after valve removal.

C. TASK 3 (Option Item): Seal existing 10,000 gallon concrete water tank.

As directed in the Specifications and/or as Shown on the Drawings and any other miscellaneous items identified.

1.3 - Timing of Work

Work on Tasks 2 and 3 shall not be started until September 7, 2021. Work on Task 1 can be performed anytime after contract award but shall be completed prior to completion of Task 1 for purposes of testing the entire system. The Contractor will take precautions to protect Government, public and private property during construction. Work will be restricted to 7 AM to 5 PM Monday thru Friday.

1.4 - Government-Furnished Facilities

1. All temporary services use areas, and storage areas will be completely removed and the areas restored to pre-construction conditions upon completion of use.

2. Water for construction purposes is available from the Sourgrass well and at the Sourgrass Day Use Area.

01102-14

Reasonably Close Conformity. Unless working tolerances are specified, all work performed and materials furnished will be in reasonably close conformity with lines, grades, cross sections, dimensions, and material requirements shown on the Drawings, indicated in the specifications, or designated on the ground. "Reasonably close conformity" is compliance with reasonable and customary manufacturing and construction tolerances.

Roadway. The portion of the road within the limits of excavation and embankment, including slope rounding.

Schedule of Items. A schedule in the contract that contains a listing and description of construction items, quantities, units of measure, methods of measurement, unit price, and amount.

1.1 – Requirements Measurement and payment for contract work will be made only for and under those pay items included in the Schedule of Items. All other work and materials will be considered incidental to and included in the payment of the pay items in the Schedule of Items.

1.2 – Payment

One (1) of the following methods of measurement for determining final payment is designated on the Schedule of Items for each pay item.

(a) Designed Quantities (DQ)

These quantities denote the final number of units to be paid for under the terms of the contract. They are based upon the original design data available prior to advertising the project. Original design data include the preliminary survey information, design assumptions, calculations, Drawings, and the presentation in the contract. Changes in the number of units of the originally contemplated work will not be made unless authorized under one (1) or more of the following conditions:

(1) As a result of changes authorized by the Contracting Officer in the originally contemplated work. Minor changes to adjust balance points, etc., will not be considered changes in quantities.

(2) As a result of the Contracting Officer determining that errors exist in the original design data used to determine designed quantities that cause a pay item to change by fifteen (15) percent.

(3) As a result of the Contractor submitting to the Contracting Officer a written request showing evidence of errors in the original design data used to determine design quantities that cause a pay item total to change by fifteen (15) percent or more. The evidence must be verifiable and consist of calculations, Drawings, or other data that show how the designed quantity is believed to be in error.

Final payment will be made for the designed quantities at the unit price shown in the Schedule of Items, subject to the Variation in Quantities Provision.

(b) Actual Quantities (AQ)

These quantities are determined from measurements of completed work.
