COMPLETION OF WORK

Contract Time. All work shall be completed 30 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed.

ACCEPTANCE OF WORK

Conformity with Contract Requirements. References to standard documents and test methods of

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

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.

The number of significant figures used in the calculations will be according to ASTM E 29, absolute method.

Acceptable work conforming to the contract will be paid for at the contract unit bid price. Three methods of determining conformity and accepting work are described below. 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.

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:

A-8

Page | 4

(1) Sampling method

(2) Number of samples

(3) Sample transport

(4) Test procedures

(5) Testing laboratories

(6) Reporting

(7) Estimated time and costs

(8) Validation process

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.

Where sample/testing procedures make reference to AASHTO, ASTM, or other standards (designated as

FLH T), the procedure as modified in the Materials Manual shall govern. Where this statement of work makes reference to AASHTO Test T11, “Procedure B - Washing Using a Wetting Agent” shall be the procedure followed.

Where this statement of work makes reference to AASHTO Test T310, “Direct Transmission Method of

In-Place Nuclear Density and Moisture Content” shall be the procedure followed.

Reference to the Materials Manual means the Federal Lands Highway “Field Materials Manual, U.S.

Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration,” dated October 2008, and all amendments and supplements thereto. Copies are available on our website at http://www.cflhd.gov/materials.

Visual Inspection. Acceptance is based on visual inspection of the work for compliance with the contract and prevailing industry standards.

Certification. For material manufactured off-site, use a manufacturer with an ISO 9000 certification or an effective testing and inspection system. Require the manufacturer to clearly mark the material or packaging with a unique product identification or specification standard to which it is produced.

Other than references in or to the FAR or Federal Law, when this statement of work references certifications; certificates; or certified documents, equipment, or individuals, these references are not certifications under Section 4301 of Public Law 104-106, National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal

Year 1996. These references refer to documentation of non-regulatory, peripheral contract requirements that are required to be validated by an individual or organization having unique knowledge or qualifications to perform such validation.

A-9 http://www.cflhd.gov/materials

Page | 5

Material accepted by certification may be sampled and tested at any time. If found not in conformance with the contract, the material will be rejected whether in place or not.

One of the following certifications may be required:

(a) Production certification. Material requiring a production certification is identified in the

Acceptance Subsection of each Item. Require the manufacturer to furnish a production certification for each shipment of material. Include the following with each production certification:

(1) Date and place of manufacture;

(2) Lot number or other means of cross-referencing to the manufacturer’s inspection and testing system; and

(3) Substantiating evidence that the material conforms to the contract quality requirements as required by FAR 46.105(a)(4), including all of the following:

(a) Test results on material from the same lot and documentation of the inspection and testing system;

(b) A statement from the manufacturer that the material complies with all contract requirements; and

(c) Manufacturer’s signature or other means of demonstrating accountability for the certification.

(b) Commercial certification. When a certification is required, but not a production certification, furnish one commercial certification for all similar material from the same manufacturer.

A commercial certification is a manufacturer's or Contractor's representation that the material complies with all contract requirements. The representation may be labels, catalog data, stamped specification standards, or supplier's certifications indicating the material is produced to a commercial standard or specification.

Inspection at the Plant. Work may be inspected at the point of production or fabrication. Manufacturing plants may be inspected for compliance with specified manufacturing methods. Material samples may be obtained for laboratory testing for compliance with quality requirements. Allow full entry at all times to the parts of the plant producing the work.

Measured or Tested Conformance. Provide all necessary production and processing of the work and control performance of the work so that all of the work complies with the contract requirements.

Results from inspection or testing shall have values within the specified tolerances or specification limits.

When no tolerance values are identified in the contract, the work will be accepted based on customary manufacturing and construction tolerances.

Partial and Final Acceptance. Maintain the work during construction and until the project is accepted.

Damage caused by the Contractor prior to final acceptance of the entire project will be repaired at the

Contractor’s expense. See FAR Clause 52.236-11 Use and Possession Prior to Completion.

(a) Partial acceptance. When a separate portion of the project is completed, a final inspection of that portion may be requested. If the portion is complete and in compliance with the contract, it may be accepted. If accepted, the CO will relieve the Contractor of further responsibility for maintenance of the completed portion. Partial acceptance does not void or alter any of the terms of the contract.

A-10

Page | 6

When public traffic is accommodated through construction and begins using sections of roadway as they are completed, continue maintenance of such sections until final acceptance.

(b) Final acceptance. When notified that the entire project is complete, an inspection will be scheduled. If all work is determined to be complete, the inspection will constitute the final inspection and the Contractor will be notified in writing of final acceptance as of the date of the final inspection.

Final acceptance relieves the Contractor of further responsibility for the maintenance of the project.

If the inspection discloses any unsatisfactory work, the CO will provide to the Contractor a list of the work that is incomplete or requires correction. Immediately complete or correct the work. Furnish notification when the work has been completed as provided above.

PROTECTION OF FORESTS, PARKS, AND PUBLIC LANDS

Thoroughly clean equipment and vehicles prior to start of use to minimize introduction or spread of invasive or non-native plant species.

Wash any new piece of equipment brought in, or any piece of equipment taken off site and then returned to the site. Provide means of removing sand, mud, vegetation and seeds from vehicle wheels and under carriage before entering and exiting the Park onto County roadways through installation of tire cleaning stations near main project entrance. Find similar or other methods for removing soil and vegetation material from vehicles before entering or leaving the Project Area.

To minimize the amount of ground disturbance, obtain approval from the CO and Park and locate staging and stockpiling areas in previously disturbed sites, away from visitor use areas to the greatest extent possible. Return all staging and stockpiling areas to pre-construction conditions following construction.

Limit disturbance of the soils and vegetation to the footprint of each structure and immediately surrounding areas.

Weed Management. Minimize soil disturbance to the greatest extent possible to reduce potential for introduction or spread of invasive non-native plant species.

Native Plant Protection, Soil Disturbance. Minimize soil disturbance to the greatest extent possible to reduce disturbance to native plants and reduce the potential for the introduction or spread of invasive non-native plant species.

Avoid heavy equipment use in wetlands if at all possible. Place heavy equipment used in wetlands on mats, or take other measures to minimize soil and plant root disturbance and to preconstruction elevations.

Take care not to disturb any wildlife species (reptiles, migratory birds, raptors, or bats) found nesting, hibernating, estivating, or otherwise living in, or immediately nearby, worksites.

Due to the fragile ecological systems of Dinosaur National Monument, comply with the following:

(a) Do not feed or disturb wildlife. To prevent unnatural attractants to wildlife, keep all foods, pet foods, garbage, drinks, trash, or food and drink containers inside vehicles, or enclosed

A-11

Page | 7 construction equipment, except during actual use. Supply garbage bins, within the construction site that are bear and animal proof. Remove all garbage and food trash from the project site daily.

(b) Do not disturb cultural resources. Cultural resources exist in many locations immediately adjacent to the roadway. Do not disturb the area beyond the construction limits. Do not excavate, remove, damage, alter or deface any archeological or paleontological remains or specimens.

MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT

Measurement Terms and Definitions. Unless otherwise specified, the following terms are defined as follows:

Cubic yard (Cubic meter) in the structure. Measure according to the lines of the structure as shown in the plans, except as altered by the CO to fit field conditions. Make no deduction for the volume occupied by reinforcing steel, anchors, weep holes, piling, or pipes less than 8 inches (200 millimeters) in diameter.

Linear foot. As applicable, measure the work along its length from end-to-end; parallel to the base or foundation; along the top; along the front face; or along the invert. Do not measure overlaps
