DEVA - 234012 & 249081 01 10 00 - 5

1. In conformance with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA), bird nests with eggs and/or chicks will be avoided. If an active bird nest is encountered, work shall cease within the area of the nest and contractor work crews will contact the Contracting Officer for further guidance. To the extent possible, brush removal, tree trimming, building demolition, grading, or other habitat-disturbing activities will be conducted outside of the nesting sea-son (raptors: February 1 - August 1; other birds: March 15 - July 31).

2. When work is to occur during raptor and bird nesting season, the contractor's qualified biologist may conduct a pre-activity nesting bird survey in work areas and overland ve-hicular travel routes prior to work commencement. Active nest information will be shared with the Contracting Officer prior to work commencement. When an active nest is found and cannot be avoided, the contractor's biologist will determine appropriate measures and will communicate with the Contracting Officer about the occurrence and include species, location, and protective measures to be implemented. Construction activity within 150 feet of an active nest should be delayed until the nest is no longer active. When the chicks have left an active nest and activity is no longer observed around the nest, it is safe to continue construction activity in the nest area, including removal of the nest.

F. Maximum Vehicular Weight: Contractor shall limit the weight of vehicles at the construction site to 6,000 lbs. maximum or the drive surface must be covered with steel plates. This re-striction specifically applies to driveways over top of the existing sub-grade historic utility tun-nels.

G. Open Trenches: open trench protection and request that the contractor check the cuts for wild-life and then cover the trenches at the end of each work day to prevent wildlife entrapment.
