106 - Acceptance of Work

106.01_nat_us_07_31_2007

106.01 Conformity with Contract Requirements.

Delete Subsection 106.01 and substitute the following:

Follow the requirements of FAR Clause 52.246-12 Inspection of Construction.

References to standard test methods of AASHTO, ASTM, GSA, and other recognized standard authorities refer to the methods in effect on the date of solicitation for bids.

Perform all work to the lines, grades, cross-sections, dimensions, and processes or material requirements shown on the plans or specified in the contract.

Incorporate manufactured materials into the work according to the manufacturer’s recommendations or to these specifications, whichever is more strict.

Plan dimensions and contract specification values are the values to be str ived for and complied with as the design values from which any deviations are allowed. Perform work and provide material that is uniform in character and reasonably close to the prescribed value or within the specified tolerance range. The purpose of a tolerance range is to accommodate occasional minor variations from the median zone that are unavoidable for practical reasons.

When standard manufactured items are specified (such as fence, wire, plates, rolled shapes, pipe conduits, etc., that are identified by gauge, unit mass, section dimensions, etc.), the identification will be considered to be nominal masses or dimensions. Unless specific contract tolerances are noted, established manufacturing tolerances will be accepted.

The Government may inspect, sample, or test all work at any time before final acceptance of the project. When the Government tests work, copies of test reports are furnished to the Contractor upon request. Government tests may or may not be performed at the work site. If Contractor testing and inspection is verified by the Government, the Contractor’s results may be used by the Government to evaluate work for acceptance. Do not rely on the availability of Government test results for process control.

Acceptable work conforming to the contract will be paid for at the contract unit bid price. Four methods of determining conformity and accepting work are described in Subsections 106.02 to

106.05 inclusive. The primary method of acceptance is specified in each Section of work.

However, work may be rejected at any time it is found by any of the methods not to comply with the contract.

Remove and replace work that does not conform to the contract, or to prevailing industry standards where no specific contract requirements are noted, at no cost to the Government.

(a) Disputing Government test results. If the accuracy of Government test results is disputed, promptly inform the CO. If the dispute is unresolved after reasonable steps are taken to resolve the dispute, further evaluation may be obtained by written request. Include a narrative describing the dispute and a proposed resolution protocol that addresses the following:

(1) Sampling method;

(2) Number of samples;

(3) Sample transport;

(4) Test procedures;

(5) Testing laboratories;

(6) Reporting;

(7) Estimated time and costs; and

(8) Validation process.

If the evaluation requires additional sampling or testing be performed, mutually agree with the Government on witnessing procedures and on sampling and testing by a third party laboratory. Use a third party laboratory accredited by the AASHTO accreditation program.

Provide proof of the laboratory’s accreditation for the test procedures to be used. Do not use the same laboratory that produced the disputed Government test results or that produced the test results used as a basis for the dispute.

The CO will review the proposed resolution protocol and may modify it before final approval and execution.

The Government will use the approved resolution protocol test results to determine the validity of the disputed testing. If the Government test results are validated, the Contractor will be responsible for all costs associated with developing and performing the resolution protocol. If the Government test results are not validated, the Government will be responsible for all costs associated with developing and performing the resolution protocol.

If the validity of the Government test results cannot be determined, the Contractor and

Government will equally share all costs associated with developing and carrying out the resolution protocol.

(b) Alternatives to removing and replacing non-conforming work. As an alternative to removal and replacement, the Contractor may submit a written request to:

(1) Have the work accepted at a reduced price; or

(2) Be given permission to perform corrective measures to bring the work into conformity.

The request must contain supporting rationale and documentation. Include references or data justifying the proposal based on an evaluation of test results, effect on service life, value of material or work, quality, aesthetics, and other tangible engineering basis. The CO will determine disposition of the nonconforming work.

DESCRIPTION

170.01 This work consists of providing facilities to furnish an adequate water supply, hauling, and applying water for surface blading and shaping, dust abatement, and surfacing of roads as necessary to provide safe travel for low and/or high clearance vehicles; to protect adjacent resource values and road investments; and to prevent damage to roads during use by Contractor.

2. MATERIALS

170.02 Suitable and adequate water sources are located 5.5 miles North of the project site at the intersection of U.S. Highway 395 and National Forest Road 3920. If the Contractor elects to provide water from other than the designated source, Contractor shall be responsible to obtain the right to use the water and pay any royalty involved. Forest Service shall be furnished a copy of any agreement obtained by the Contractor.

3. EQUIPMENT

170.03

a. Mobile watering equipment shall have water tight tanks of known capacity when used for mixing dust abatement materials. The tank capacity shall be measured prior to use.

b. An air gap, or positive anti-siphon device, shall be provided between the water source and the vehicle being loaded if: (1) the vehicle has been used for other t han water haul, (2) the source is a domestic potable water supply, (3) or the water is used for tank mixing with any other materials.

c. Designated water sources may require some work prior to their use. Such work may include cleaning ponding areas, installing temporary weirs or sandbags, pipe repair, pump installation or other items appropriate to Contractor's operation. Flowing streams may be sandbagged on a temporary basis or a weir placed to pond the water. Water draw shall not be more than 1/3 of the stream flow. Pumping shall not result in no or negligible stream flow below site. Work within flowing streams will require review and approval by a Forest

Service Fish or Hydrology Specialist.

d. Foot valves on pumps will be screened with screens that meet National Marine Fishery

Services standards. NMFS developed criteria for pump intake screens will be used on all water pump intakes as described in the ―Addendum, Juvenile Fish Screen Criteria For

Pump Intakes‖ (NMFS, May 9, 1996).

Intake hose screen mesh openings shall not exceed 3/32 inch (2.29mm) woven wire or perforated plate screens, or 0.0689 inch (1.75mm) for profile wire screens, with a minimum 27% open area.

(6.35mm) for woven wire, perforated plate screens, or profile wire screens, with a minimum of

40% open area.

Trucks will be maintained to prevent oil leaks. Loading is done in a manner to prevent overflowing and discharge of wash into stream.
