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 strived 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.

648 - Stream Simulation 648.00_nat_us_04_17_2008 648 – Streambed Simulation

Description

648.01 This work consists of placing rock and fill to simulate a natural streambed, profile and cross section though road stream crossings. The placement of Channel Rock for: fish rest stop, rock bands, rock weirs, stream bank rocks, and other in stream rock structures, is included within this specification.

Material

648.02 Conform to the following Subsections.

Foundation Fill
704.01
Stream Bed Simulation Material
705.07
Channel Rock
705.08

Construction Requirements

648.03 General. Place streambed simulation material on a prepared surface to form a well-graded, low permeability mass, similar in appearance and texture to the natural streambed. Do not drive metal track or rubber tired equipment directly on metal or concrete structure surfaces.

648.04 Placed Streambed Simulation Material and Channel Rock.

(a) Method A, Machine Placed. Place stream simulation rock in one or more layers with a layer depth less than 1 ½ times the maximum dimension of the stream simulation rock. Place stream simulation by methods that do not cause segregation or damage to the prepared surface. Place or rearrange individual rocks by mechanical methods to obtain a compact low permeability mass matching streambed simulation details. Fill voids before placing the next lift. Place fish rest stop, rock bands, rock weirs, stream bank rocks, and other in stream rock structures as designated.

(b) Method B, End Dumped. Dump stream simulation rock in one or more layers with a layer depth less than 1 ½ times the maximum dimension of the stream simulation rock. Distribute larger rocks throughout the mass of stone. Obtain a uniformly dense, compact, low permeability bed with a surface matching stream simulation bed details. Fill voids before placing the next lift. Place fish rest stop, rock bands, rock weirs, stream bank rocks, and other in stream rock structures as designated.

(c) Method C, Hand Placed. Place stream simulation rock using hand labor. Material may be hand carried, or carried in wheelbarrows and end dumped to obtain its full thickness. Compact each load using hand operated or hand operated mechanical equipment to obtain a uniformly dense, compact, low permeability bed with a surface matching stream simulation bed details. Fill voids before placing the next lift. Place fish rest stop, rock bands, rock weirs, stream bank rocks, and other in stream rock structures as designated.

648.04 Foundation fill. Fill all voids left during placement of Channel Rocks and Streambed Simulation adjacent to footings, concrete structures or corrugated pipes with foundation fill. Use water pressure, metal tamping rods, and similar hand operated equipment to force material into all surface and subsurface voids between the structure and rocks and between individual rocks.

648.05 Acceptance. Placing streambed simulation material will be evaluated under Subsections 106.02 and 106.04.

Measurement

648.06 Measure the items listed in the bid schedule according to Subsection 109.02.
