1.4 TIME EXTENSIONS FOR UNUSUALLY SEVERE WEATHER

ER 415-1-15 dtd 31 OCT 89

(a) This provision specifies the procedure for determination of time extensions for unusually severe weather in accordance with the contract clause entitled "DEFAULT (FIXED-PRICE CONSTRUCTION)". In order for the

SECTION 01 10 00.10 38 Page 4

Contracting Officer to award a time extension under this clause, the following conditions must be found to be satisfied in the sole discretion of the Contracting Officer:

(1) 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.

(2) 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.

(b) The following schedule of monthly anticipated adverse weather delays is based on National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) or similar data for the project location and will constitute the base line for monthly weather time evaluations. The Contractor's progress schedule must reflect these anticipated adverse weather delays in all weather dependent activities.

MONTHLY ANTICIPATED ADVERSE WEATHER DELAY

WORK DAYS BASED ON ( 5) DAY WORK WEEK

JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC

7 6 7 5 6 7 10 9 7 4 8 9

(c) 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 resultant 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 scheduled work day.

(d) The number of actual adverse weather delay days shall include days impacted by actual adverse weather (even if adverse weather occurred in previous month), 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 in paragraph (2), above, the Contracting Officer will convert any qualifying delays to calendar days, giving full consideration for equivalent fair weather work days, and issue a modification in accordance with the contract clause entitled "DEFAULT (FIXED-PRICE CONSTRUCTION)".

(End of Clause)

1.5 PERFORMANCE AND PAYMENT BONDS

Each bidder shall include his premiums for performance and payment bonds under the appropriate, "Performance and Payment Bonds" contract line item of the Bidding Schedule. Payment to the Contractor therefore, shall not exceed the bid price and shall be made in accordance with the Contract Clause entitled "PAYMENTS UNDER FIXED-PRICE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS." Any additional amount bid in excess of the actual bond premium will be included in the final pay estimate for this contract.

(End of Clause)

SECTION 01 10 00.10 38 Page 5

1.6 VARIATIONS IN ESTIMATED QUANTITIES - DREDGING

(1998 January HQUSACE)

(a) Where the quantity of a pay item in this contract is an estimated quantity and where the actual quantity of material within the required dredging prism, including the associated side slopes, varies more than 15 percent above or below the stated estimated quantity within the required dredging prism, an equitable adjustment in the contract unit price will be made upon demand of either party. The equitable adjustment will be based upon any increase or decrease in the costs due solely to the variations above 115 percent or below 85 percent of the estimated quantity within the required dredging prism. Any equitable adjustment in the contract unit price will also apply to that part of the actual quantity of allowable over-depth material above 115 percent or below 85 percent of the estimated allowable over-depth quantity.

(b) If the quantity variation is such as to cause an increase in the time necessary for completion, the Contracting Officer or his/her designated representative shall upon receipt of a written request for an extension of time within 10 days from the beginning of such delay, or within such further period of time which may be granted by the Contracting Officer or his/her designated representative prior to the date of final settlement of the contract, ascertain the facts and make such adjustment for extending the completion date as in their judgment the findings justify.

(End of Clause)

1.7 WATER CONSERVATION

Water is one of our valuable natural resources. Accordingly, the Contractor shall be judicious in its use in the performance of the work as specified. Water needed for compaction of roadway and/or foundation materials, and dust control shall be obtained from uncontrolled stream flow instead of potable supply sources to the extent available and suitable as determined by the Contracting Officer or his/her designated representative.

(End of Clause)

1.8 LOCAL NOTICE TO MARINERS

(a) The Contractor shall coordinate Local Notice to Mariners with the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) by contacting USCG District Five at (757) 398-6229 or, alternately, Sector North Carolina at (910) 772-2230.

Contractor shall provide the dredging schedule and location by shoal/tangent/section.

(b) Should the Contractor, during dredging operations, encounter any objects on the channel bottom which could be a hazard to navigation, the Contractor shall notify the USCG immediately with location and other pertinent information necessary for the USCG to issue a Local Notice to Mariners. The Contractor shall provide copies of this information to the Contracting Officer or his/her designated representative.

SECTION 01 10 00.10 38 Page 6

1.9 NAVIGATION AIDS

There may be aids to navigation within the project boundaries. Some, or all, of such aids to navigation may need to be removed for the accomplishment of the contract work. Before the commencement of dredging, it is the responsibility of the Contractor to provide the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) and any other responsible parties notification 5 weeks prior to needing a navigation aid moved. The USCG may need to bring vessels from out of state to move larger aids to navigation and the Contractor should request this service as soon as practicable, but in all cases, at least 5 weeks from the start of dredging. Any impacts to the work due to the inability of the Contractor to accomplish any needed movement of aids to navigation will not be the responsibility of the United States Government or of the Contracting Officer. Failure to notify the Coast Guard within the required timeframe may result in project delays.

The Contractor shall not remove, change the location of, obstruct, willfully damage, make fast to, or interfere with aids to navigation without express direction from the USCG. If the USCG determines they cannot respond to the Contractor's request, the USCG may request the Contractor to relocate the navigation aid(s) for dredging. The Contractor shall only relocate the navigation aid(s) and/or place the navigation aid(s) back to its charted position under the direct supervision of the

USCG.

The USCG point of contact is the USCG North Carolina Aids to Navigation Officer at (252)-247-4525, or alternately, Sector North Carolina Waterways Management at (910) 772-2230.

The Seagoing Barge Act (46 U.S.C. et sq.) applies to this project. In the event the low bidder contemplates using plant that requires U.S. Coast Guard certification to comply with the Act, the low bidder shall within ten (10) calendar days after bid opening submit a copy of said certificate to the Contracting Officer or his/her designated representative. Failure to produce the certificate within the required time shall subject the bidder to a determination of nonresponsibility.

(End of Clause)

1.11 BULLETIN BOARD

Within one (1) calendar day after commencement of work under this contract, the Contractor shall provide at the job site a weatherproof, glass-covered bulletin board for displaying the Fair Employment poster, wage rates, posters and safety bulletins as noted in Section 01 35 26, paragraph DISPLAY OF SAFETY INFORMATION. The bulletin board shall be located in a conspicuous place, easily accessible to all employees, and legible copies of the aforementioned data shall be displayed until work under the contract is complete. No direct payment will be made for the bulletin board.

(End of Clause)

1.12 FINAL EXAMINATION AND ACCEPTANCE

As soon as practicable after the completion of the entire work or, if the

SECTION 01 10 00.10 38 Page 7 work is divided into sections, or if any section which in the opinion of the Contracting Officer or his/her designated representative will not be subject to damage by further operations under the contract, such work will be thoroughly examined at the cost and expense of the Government by sounding or by sweeping, or both, as determined by the Contracting Officer or his/her designated representative. If any shoals, lumps, or the lack of contract depth are disclosed by this examination, the Contractor shall remove same by dredging the bottom with payment at the contract rate for (example: Unclassified Excavation, Anchorage Basin). The Contractor is only allowed to do dragging operations in lieu of dredging if approved by the Contractor Officer or his/her designated representative. The Contractor will be notified when soundings or sweepings are to be made and will be permitted to accompany the survey party. When the area is found to be in satisfactory condition, it will be accepted. If more than two sounding or sweeping operations by the Government over an area are necessary because of work for the removal of shoals disclosed by prior sounding or sweeping, the cost of such subsequent soundings or sweeping operations will be charged against the Contractor at the rate of ($5,100.00) per day in which the Government plant is engaged in sounding or sweeping, is enroute to or from the site, or is held at or near the site for such operations.

(xv) Contractor's earnings based on portion of activity completed; and

(xvi) bid item of which activity is a part.

(5) The program or means used in making the mathematical computation shall be capable of compiling the total value of completed and partially completed activities and subtotals from separate buildings or feature listed in paragraph (b)(2).

(6) In addition to the tabulation of activities, the computation will include the following data:

(i) identification of activities which are planned to be expedited by use of overtime or double shifts to be worked including Saturdays, Sundays and holidays;

(ii) on-site manpower loading schedule;

(iii) a description of the major items of construction equipment planned for operations of the project. (The description shall include the type, number of units and unit capacities. A schedule showing proposed time equipment will be on the job keyed to activities on which equipment will be used shall be provided); and

SECTION 01 10 00.10 38 Page 13

(iv) where portions of the work are to be paid by unit costs, the estimated number of units in an activity which was used in developing the total activity cost.

(7) The analysis shall list the activities in sorts or groups as follows:

(i) by the preceding event number from lowest to highest and then in the order of the following event number;

(ii) by the amount of slack, then in order of preceding event number;

(iii) by responsibility in order of earliest allowable start dates; and

(iv) in order of latest allowable start dates, then in order of preceding event numbers, and then in order of succeeding event numbers.

(c) Submission and approval of the system shall be as follows:

(1) A preliminary network defining the Contractor's planned operations during the first sixty (60) calendar days after receipt of Notice to Proceed will be submitted within ten (10) days. The Contractor's general approach for the balance of the project shall be indicated. Cost of activities expected to be completed or partially completed before submission and approval of the whole schedule should be included.

(2) The complete network analysis consisting of the detailed network mathematical analysis (on-site manpower loading schedule, equipment schedule) and network diagrams shall be submitted within forty

(40) calendar days after receipt of Notice to Proceed.

(d) The Contractor shall participate in a review and evaluation of the proposed network diagrams and analysis by the Contracting Officer or his/her designated representative. Any revisions necessary as a result of this review shall be resubmitted for approval of the Contracting Officer or his/her designated representative within ten (10) calendar days after the conference. The approved schedule shall then be the schedule to be used by the Contractor for planning, organizing and directing the work and for reporting progress. If the Contractor thereafter desires to make changes in his method of operating and scheduling he shall notify the Contracting Officer or his/her designated representative in writing stating the reasons for the change. If the Contracting Officer or his/her designated representative considers these changes to be of a major nature he may require the Contractor to revise and submit for approval, without additional cost to the Government, all or the affected portion of the detailed diagrams and mathematical analysis and the summary diagram to show the effect on the entire project. A change may be considered of a major nature if the time estimated to be required or actually used for an activity or the logic of sequence of activities is varied from the original plan to a degree that there is a reasonable doubt as to the effect on the contract completion date or dates. Changes which affect activities with adequate slack time shall be considered as minor changes, except that an accumulation of minor changes may be considered a major change when their cumulative effect might affect the contract completion

SECTION 01 10 00.10 38 Page 14 date.

(e) The Contractor shall submit at intervals of fifteen (15) calendar days a report of the actual construction progress by updating the mathematical analyses.

The summary network shall be revised as necessary for the sake of clarity. However, only the initial submission or completed revisions need be time scaled. Subsequent minor revisions need not be time scaled.

(f) The report shall show the activities or portions of activities completed during the reporting period and their total value as basis for the Contractor's periodic request for payment. Payment made pursuant to the Contract Clause entitled "PAYMENTS UNDER FIXED-PRICE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS" will be based on the total value of such activities completed or partially completed after verification by the Contracting Officer or his/her designated representative. The report will state the percentage of the work actually completed and scheduled as of the report date and the progress along the critical path in terms of days ahead or behind the allowable dates. If the project is behind schedule, progress along other paths with negative slack shall also be reported. The Contractor shall also submit a narrative report with the updated analysis which shall include but not be limited to a description of the problem areas, current and anticipated, delaying factors and their impact, and an explanation of corrective actions taken or proposed.

(g) Sheet size of diagrams shall be 30 by 42 inches. Each updated copy shall show a date of the latest revision.

(h) Initial submittal and complete revisions shall be submitted in three (3) copies.

(i) Periodic reports shall be submitted in two (2) copies.
