STATEMENT OF WORK

PART I - GENERAL

1.1 DESCRIPTION OF WORK: The contractor shall provide all plant, supervision, management, quality control, labor, tools, equipment, appliances and materials and perform all work necessary to construct, repair, and upgrade by method of Pipe Bursting/Direct Excavation (trenching) sections of the Domestic Water Pipes on Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. All new construction and repairs should include shop drawings, scheduling work, excavation, demolition and installation of piping, valves, fittings, accessories, and pavement, as well as provide temporary bypass support as listed. Pipe Bursting method consists of patented licensed hydraulic puller equipment and pneumatic ram-cutting heads to split and break old pipe while drawing in new welded-fused polyethelyene pipe in-place minimizing excavations and pavement restoration. Soil excavated for pipe bursting pits that are located in a high-visibility areas will be hauled off site by the contractor and stored until the pipe bursting operation is complete. In addition, the contractor will provide the testing, sanitizing, and de-watering of all affected areas. The contractor must also obtain New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) permits required for performance of this project including, but not limited to Safe Drinking Water Act compliance and permits required under New Jersey Administrative Code (NJAC) 7:10-1.1 et seq.

1.31 PHYSICAL DATA (N/A)

1.32 TIME EXTENSIONS FOR UNUSUALLY SEVERE WEATHER

A. This provision specifies the procedure for determination of time extension for usually severe weather in accordance with the contract clause entitled "Default: (Fixed Price Construction)." In order for the Contracting Officer to award a time extension under this clause, the following conditions must be satisfied:

1 The weather experienced at the project site during the contract period must be found to be unusually severe, that is, more severe than the adverse weather anticipated for the project location during any given month. Determination of usually severe weather conditions will be made by the COTR.

2 The unusually severe weather must actually cause a delay to the completion of the project. The delay must be beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor.

B. The following schedule of monthly anticipated adverse weather delays is based on National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) or similar data for the project location and will constitute the base line for monthly weather time evaluations. The Contractor's progress schedule must reflect these anticipated adverse weather delays in all weather dependent activities.

MONTHLY ANTICIPATED ADVERSE WEATHER DELAY WORK DAYS BASED ON (5) DAY WORK WEEK

C. Upon acknowledgment of the Notice to Proceed (NTP) and continuing throughout the contract, the Contractor will record on the daily CPR log, the occurrence of adverse weather and resultant impact to normally scheduled work. Actual adverse weather delay days must prevent work on critical activities for 50 percent or more of the Contractor's scheduled workday. The number of actual adverse weather delay days shall include days impacted by actual adverse weather (even if adverse weather occurred in previous month), be calculated chronologically from the first to the last day of each month, and be recorded as full days. If the number of actual adverse weather delay days exceeds the number of days anticipated in paragraph 2 above, the Contracting Officer will convert any qualifying delays to calendar days, giving full consideration for equivalent fair weather work days, and issue a modification in accordance with the contract clause entitled "Default (Fixed Price Construction)". (ER 415-1-5) (31 Oct 89).
