10-4.06 WATER POLLUTION CONTROL PROGRAM (WPCP)

The Contractor shall be required to prepare a Water Pollution Control Plan (WPCP) per Section 10-4.06 “Water Pollution Control Plan (WPCP)” of the Standard Construction Specifications.

The Contractor shall amend the WPCP, graphically and in narrative form, whenever there is a change in construction activities or operations which may affect the discharge of significant quantities of pollutants to surface waters, ground waters, municipal storm drain systems or when deemed necessary by the Engineer. The WPCP shall be amended if the WPCP is in violation of any permit condition, or has not effectively achieved the objective of reducing pollutants in storm water discharges. Amendments shall show additional control measures or revised operations, including those in areas not shown in the initially approved WPCP, which are required on the project to control water pollution effectively. Amendments to the WPCP shall be submitted to the Engineer for review and approval in the same manner specified for the

- 12 -initially approved WPCP. Approved amendments shall be dated and logged in the WPCP. Upon approval of the amendment, the Contractor shall implement the additional control measures or revised operations.

10-4.10 BMP SCHEDULE OF VALUES

An electronic submittal, CD, DVD, flash drive, or hard copies of the Best Management Practices (BMP) Schedules of Values included in the Appendices of these Special Provisions are to be submitted to the Engineer when the WPCP is submitted.

On the BMP Schedule of Values, the Contractor shall provide a unit prices for all BMP’s except those listed as “PROCEDURAL”. Payment for these procedural BMP’s is included in the prices paid for the various other items of work and no additional compensation will be paid.

Erosion and sediment control BMPs shall be placed, monitored for effectiveness, and maintained throughout the construction process. The following precautions shall be implemented regardless of the season:

1. A stabilized construction site access shall be constructed at any construction staging and/or stockpile site as determined appropriate by the Engineer.

2. Temporary stockpiling of construction materials, including vehicles and portable equipment, supplies, fuels and chemicals, will be restricted to designated construction staging areas within the project area.

3. Any wet season requirement shall be implemented if conditions exist which may cause erosion and sedimentation.

4. The contractor shall not be limited to the requirements listed above, but shall be responsible for implementing whatever measures are necessary to prevent erosion and sedimentation.

The Contractor shall demonstrate the ability and preparedness to fully implement soil stabilization practices and sediment control measures to protect soil-disturbed areas on the project site before the onset of precipitation. A quantity of soil stabilization and sediment control materials shall be maintained on site equal to 100 percent of that sufficient to protect unprotected, soil-disturbed areas on the project site. A detailed plan for the mobilization of sufficient labor and equipment shall be maintained to fully deploy control measures required for the protection of soil-disturbed areas on the project site prior to the onset of precipitation. A current inventory of control measure materials and the detailed mobilization plan shall be included as part of the WPCP.

The wet season is hereby defined as the period between October 1st and April 30th. Erosion control (i.e.

soil stabilization) BMPs shall be applied during the wet season. All other BMPs included in the approved WPCP shall be installed/implemented and maintained year round.

- 13 -

Throughout the wet season:

1. Soil-disturbed areas of the project site shall be considered to be non-active whenever soil disturbance activities are to be discontinued for a period of 20 or more days and the areas are fully protected. Areas that will become non-active during the wet season shall be fully protected with soil stabilization practices and sediment control measures within 10 days of the discontinuance of soil disturbing activities or prior to the onset of precipitation, whichever is first to occur.

2. Active soil-disturbed areas of the project site shall be fully protected at the end of each day with soil stabilization practices and sediment control measures unless fair weather is predicted through the following workday. The Contractor shall monitor the weather forecast on a daily basis. The National Weather Service forecast shall be used. An alternative weather forecast proposed by the Contractor may be used if approved by the Engineer. If precipitation is predicted prior to the end of the following workday, construction scheduling shall be modified, as required and functioning control measures shall be deployed prior to the onset of the precipitation.

3. Inspections of the construction site shall be conducted by the Contractor to identify deficient measures, as follows:

A. Prior to a forecast storm;

B. After any precipitation which causes runoff capable of carrying sediment from the construction site;

C. At 24 hour intervals during extended precipitation events; and D. Routinely, a minimum of once every 2 weeks.

If the Contractor or the Engineer identifies a deficiency in the implementation or functioning of an identified control measure, the deficiency shall be corrected immediately. The deficiency may be corrected at a later date and time if requested by the Contractor and approved by the Engineer in writing, but not later than the onset of subsequent precipitation. The correction of deficiencies shall be at no additional cost to the County.

The Contractor shall implement, year-round and throughout the duration of the project, control measures included in the WPCP for sediment tracking, wind erosion, non-storm water management and waste management and disposal.

The schedule of values shall reflect the items of work and costs for the control measures required for the WPCP, except for critical temporary controls and permanent control measures which are shown on the project Plans and for which there is a contract item of work. Any items required by the WPCP that are not included in the BMP Schedule of Values shall be amended to the BMP Schedule of Values and re-submitted to the County within 4 business days after the approval of the WPCP.

If approved in writing by the Engineer, the BMP schedule of values will be used to determine payments from the ALLOWANCE for Water Pollution Control Implementation during the progress of the work. If unit costs provided by the Contractor in the BMP Schedule of Values are not within allowable industry standards, the Department of Transportation would have the right to have devices installed on a Force Account Basis in accordance with Section 9-8.03 of the Standard Construction Specifications. The BMP schedule of values will also be used as the basis for calculating any adjustment in compensation for the contract item for water pollution control due to changes in control measures required by an approved amendment to the WPCP.

The contract ALLOWANCE for Water Pollution Control Implementation shall include full compensation

- 14 -for furnishing all labor, materials, tools, equipment, and incidentals, and for doing all the work involved in installing, constructing, maintaining, removing, and disposing of control measures (except those shown on the Plans and for which there is a contract item of work), as shown in the Plans, as specified in the Standard Construction Specifications, these Special Provisions, and as directed by the Engineer. The total amount to be paid for the work included in the ALLOWANCE for Water Pollution Control Implementation shall be the amount of the allowance actually utilized in the course of completing the work and no additional compensation will be allowed therefor.
