In addition, the CO may, after reviewing the Affidavit of Individual Surety and documentary information on the security interest and the assets pledged, by certified mail to the surety's business or residence address (as shown on the bond), request the surety to provide further information and/or documents with respect to any of the documents provided.

(a) Coordinate a preconstruction meeting with the CO, the Forest Biologist, and the Forest Botanist at least 7 days prior to the beginning of construction. The purpose of this meeting will be to discuss the scope of the project and work restrictions. The United States Forest

J-8

Service (USFS) will also provide information about the Puerto Rican boa, and how to recognize them. Implement an outreach and education plan to inform employees about the conservation of Puerto Rican boas, as well as the penalties for harassing or harming them.

Any person that injures, captures, or kills a Puerto Rican boa is subject to penalties under Federal law of up to $100,000, one year in prison, or a combination of both.

(b) USFS personnel will conduct a survey for Puerto Rican boas at least 2 days prior to the beginning of construction. The USFS will provide the locations of any areas to be protected due to the presence of boas. Do not begin clearing or any ground disturbing activities until the boa survey has been completed.

(c) Before beginning clearing or ground disturbing activities, mark the limits of disturbance and any areas designated to be protected by the USFS on the plans and in the field. Submit the proposed methods for marking these areas in the field to the CO for approval at the preconstruction conference.

(d) Before activities commence each workday during the vegetation clearing phase, ensure that no boas are present within the work area. If boas are found within the working area, immediately stop activities and notify the CO, the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), and the Department of Natural and Environmental Resources (DNER). Do not resume work at that site until the boas move out of the area on their own. Activities may continue at other work sites where no boas have been found during boa surveys.

(e) Clear vegetation by hand in areas where boas may be present. Do not operate machinery in these areas until it has been determined that there are no boas.

(f) Before operating or moving equipment and vehicles in staging areas, thoroughly inspect the equipment and any areas within 100 feet of potential boa habitat to ensure that no boas are lodged in the standing equipment or vehicles. If boas are found within vehicles or equipment, immediately notify the CO and the DNER for proper handling and relocation. If relocation of any boas is necessary, authorized personnel of the DNER will relocate the boas to appropriate habitat near the project site.

(2) Rain Day. A potentially lost workday on which rainfall is equal to or greater than

0.10 inches.

(3) Drying Day. A work day(s) immediately following a rainfall equal to or greater than

1.00 inch which is potentially lost because of wet ground conditions.

(4) Workday. A day not excluded from work by Section 108 of the Special Contract Requirements.

(5) Unusually Severe Weather. When the number of Actual Workdays Lost is greater than the calculated Total Lost Days for the month in question.

(b) Reasonably Predictable Weather. Determine Reasonably Predictable Weather for this contract by completing Table 155-1. Calculate data for Table 155-1 as follows:

(1) Using the last 10 years of historical weather data from the nearest NOAA weather data collection station, compute the average number of workdays lost (rain days plus drying days) for each month and the standard deviation from the average. Add the average number of workdays lost to the standard deviation.

(2) The Total number of Lost Days (Average Workdays Lost plus 1 Standard Deviation, rounded to whole days) will be considered normal for each month.

(3) Submit a completed Table 155-1 with the initial construction schedule.

(c) Unusually Severe Weather. Under FAR Clause 52.249-10, Default (Fixed-Price Construction), the Contractor can request time for a delay due to Unusually Severe Weather.

The number of Actual Workdays Lost is calculated by first totaling the actual Rain Days plus the actual Drying Days occurring in the month in question. From this total, deduct any workdays meeting the following conditions:

(1) The Rain Day or Drying Day occurred on a non-work weekday such as a holiday.

J-12

(2) Rainfall occurred at a time when no weather dependent work was in progress or occurred during planned or unplanned shutdowns due to other circumstances such as equipment failure, strikes, material supplies, delays, etc.

(3) The Contractor was still working or able to work on weather dependent activities to the extent that less than 50 percent of the workday was lost due to weather.

If the net number of Actual Workdays Lost is greater than the Total Lost Days, then Unusually Severe Weather occurred during the month in question.

(d) Time Adjustments for Rain Delays. If the net number of Actual Workdays Lost to rain is less than the Total Lost Days for the month in question, no time adjustments will be made.

If the net number of Actual Workdays Lost is more, then an excusable time extension may be granted. The Contractor must submit a Weather Time Impact Analysis supporting any alleged delays due to Unusually Severe Weather.

(e) Delays Due To Other Weather Conditions. Delays due to other unusually severe weather conditions (snow, extreme cold or heat, high winds, etc.) must be supported with a Weather Time Impact Analysis using historical weather data.

155.02. Delete the last paragraph and substitute the following:

The Construction Contract Time shown on the construction schedule for contract completion or for any interim completion dates shall be the calendar dates established in the contract.
