1 GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 COMMENCEMENT, PROSECUTION, AND COMPLETION OF WORK:

The “Contract performance” to complete construction and all close out contract work is 120 working days of the NTP (Notice to Proceed) award date.

1.2 MILESTONES OF WORK:

1.2.1 Submit a practicable schedule and quality control plant for approval within 15 working days after the NTP. The remaining pre-submittals are due within 30 after issuance of the NTP.

1.2.2 Gov’t acceptance must be given prior to commencement of construction.

1.2.3 Site work shall begin within 45 working days of NTP and will be named the

“Mobilization Date”.

1.2.4 The contractor may request the COR (Contracting Officer’s Representative) in writing for a “Winter hold” when weather will not support construction operations.

1.2.5 Flood delays:

1.2.5.1 If the river stage in Sylvan Slough is above 11ft the contractor may request a

“flood delay” in writing until the river returns and remains below the 10ft stage.

1.2.5.1.1 River stage measurements are taken from the Locks and Dam 15 tailwater gage

(https://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=dvn&gage=rcki2).

1.2.5.1.2 With an approved “flood delay” the contractor shall close down work, shut all sanitary manholes, and demobilized from the site without cost to Gov’t.

1.2.5.2 The “flood delay” shall end on the fifteenth consecutive calendar day the river remains below the 10ft stage.

1.3 WORK CONDITIONS:

1.3.1 All site condition information provided by the Gov’t shall be field verified by the

Contractor before construction work. Any discovered discrepancies that need correction to prevent added Contractor Cost shall be submitted for clarification to the COR.

1.3.2 A “Staging Area” can be requested in writing from the COR for the temporary storage of construction materials and equipment.

1.3.3 Install new materials in pipe and remove materials without disturbing the environmental protective geotechnical cap material atop the adjacent hazardous landfill.

1.3.3.1 Several of the sanitary sewer manholes are surrounded by an environmentally designed cap material over an old hazardous landfill.

1.3.3.2 No digging is allowed in the geotechnical protective cap by the Contractor in performance of this repair construction.

1.3.3.3 If construction loads are anticipated to damage the turf, then provide matting prior to loading.

1.3.4 Most of the sanitary sewer manholes are in an area prone to flooding.

1.3.5 The work involves confined spaces and noxious gases.

3 | P a g e

1.3.6 Utilities: The Gov’t will furnish on Rock Island Arsenal Garrison (RIA), at no additional charge, the use of electricity and water (see section 5.4 Energy Conservation).

1.3.7 Conduct construction in a manner which minimizes downtime of sewage collection or provide a bypass system to maintain sewage flow during construction.

1.3.7.1 The sanitary system during dry periods averages about 150gpm or less.

1.3.7.2 During and after rain events the sanitary flow can easily double or triple. As an example; the average flow for the 48-hours after a 24 June 2023, 1.7 inch rain event was 300gpm. This average likely had higher flow rates within the overall duration.

1.3.8 Do not impact any other utility without prior permission obtained from the COR.
