USFWS – ABERNATHY FTC; DOMESTIC WATER SYSTEM REHAB. PAGE 01 14 00 - 1

SECTION 01 14 00 - CONSTRUCTION AND SCHEDULE CONSTRAINTS

PART 1 -- GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

A. WORK shall be scheduled, sequenced, and performed in a manner which minimizes all water supply and other disruptions to the Abernathy Fish Technology Center (AFTC) facilities including the hatchery building, outdoor raceways, and laboratory and genetics buildings. Contractor shall also be required to minimize disruptions to the USFWS’s operation and maintenance needs of all of the AFTC facilities.

B. The CONTRACTOR shall incorporate the construction and schedule constraints of this Section in preparing the construction schedules required for project execution.

1.2 EXISTING AFTC FACILITIES

A. The WORK shall be executed while the existing AFTC is in operation. Operation of the existing facilities shall not be jeopardized nor shall the efficiency of the AFTC’s aquaculture and experimental programs be reduced as a result of the execution of the

WORK.

B. Unless indicated otherwise, temporary pumping, piping, power, lighting, controls, instrumentation, alarms, security devices, and safety devices shall be provided by the CONTRACTOR whenever its activity or interruption due to its activity affects the existing facility.

C. The construction constraints in this Section do not include every item affecting the completion of the WORK, but are intended to describe the sequence of critical events necessary to minimize disruption to the AFTC’s processes. It shall be understood and agreed by the CONTRACTOR that the critical events described are not inclusive and that additional items of WORK not included may be required to minimize disruption and ensure compliance. Deviation from or modification of these suggested sequences is permitted if techniques and methods known to the CONTRACTOR will result in reducing disruption to the facility operation and maintaining treatment efficiency, and if deviation is approved in advance by the USFWS.

1.3 OPERATION OF HATCHERY EQUIPMENT

A. Operational functions or shutdown of the existing hatchery required to facilitate CONTRACTOR's operation will be done by the USFWS's personnel only.

B. The plant operation and maintenance personnel will cooperate in every way that is practical in order to facilitate CONTRACTOR's operation. However, certain shutdown and connections may only be permissible at times other than normal working hours such as nights or weekends. No additional payment will be made to the CONTRACTOR for any night, weekend, or holiday premium or overtime payments.

C. If it becomes necessary for the proper operation or maintenance of portions of the facility, the USFWS may require the CONTRACTOR to reschedule an approved shutdown. The CONTRACTOR shall then reschedule its operations so there shall be no conflict with necessary operations or maintenance of the plant. The CONTRACTOR

USFWS – ABERNATHY FTC; DOMESTIC WATER SYSTEM REHAB. PAGE 01 14 00 - 2

shall, within two (2) Days, furnish the USFWS a revised outage request and a plan for rescheduling the shutdown in accordance with the requirements of the construction schedule.

1.4 PROTECTION OF EXISTING FACILITIES

A. The CONTRACTOR shall take necessary precautions to ensure that no damage occurs to the AFTC facilities, including piping, utilities, roads, and electrical services, that are to remain in operation and are not to be modified or replaced, in accordance with Section 01 56 10 - Protection of Existing Facilities. Any temporary facilities, materials, equipment, and labor required for the AFTC to continue to meet fish rearing needs during construction shall be provided by the CONTRACTOR as part of the WORK. At the completion of work, such temporary facilities, materials, and equipment shall be removed from the Site as part of the WORK.

1.5 OUTAGE REQUESTS

A. Background on AFTC Operations. The USFWS has critical year-round hatchery and genetics laboratory operations that are conducted inside the various buildings of the AFTC. There are no weeks or months in which the AFTC is void of fish. The laboratory and hatchery fish can survive only very short periods (up to two hours, without a fresh supply of water to their tanks). As such, new piping connections can be made to existing piping inside and outside the hatchery building, only under short duration, planned outages of water supply as that described in Part 1.8.C below.

B. Modifications to existing facilities, the construction of new facilities, and the connection of new to existing facilities may require the temporary outage or bypass of existing water supply processes or facilities. In such cases, the CONTRACTOR shall coordinate WORK with the USFWS as described below. The CONTRACTOR shall submit a detailed outage plan and time schedule for construction activities which will make it necessary to remove a tank, pipeline, channel, electrical circuit, equipment, structure, road, or other facilities from service.

1. See Section 01 11 00 – Summary of Work, for description of allowed outages as part of the construction WORK.

C. The outage plans shall be submitted to the USFWS for acceptance a minimum of 1 week in advance of the time that such outages are required. The outage plans shall be coordinated with the construction schedule and shall meet the restrictions and conditions of this Section and Section 01 11 00. The outage plan shall describe the CONTRACTOR's method for preventing loss of water flow to hatchery rearing tanks; the length of time required to complete the operation; any necessary temporary power, controls, instrumentation, or alarms required to maintain control and monitoring of the hatchery facility processes. Costs for preparing and implementing the outage plans shall be the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR as part of the WORK.

D. The CONTRACTOR shall not begin an alteration affecting existing facilities until specific written approval has been granted by the USFWS in each case.

E. The USFWS will coordinate the CONTRACTOR's planned procedure with the treatment facility personnel. The USFWS has the authority to modify any proposed shutdown procedures if such procedures would adversely impact the plant operations.

USFWS – ABERNATHY FTC; DOMESTIC WATER SYSTEM REHAB. PAGE 01 14 00 - 3

F. The USFWS shall be notified in writing at least one week in advance of the required outage if the schedule for performing the WORK has changed or if revisions to the outage plan are required. The CONTRACTOR shall provide written confirmation of the shutdown date and time a minimum of two (2) Days prior to the actual shutdown.

1.6 TEMPORARY CONNECTIONS

A. Making connections to existing facilities or other operations that interfere with the operation of the existing equipment shall be thoroughly planned in advance, and required equipment, materials, and labor shall be on hand at the time of undertaking the connections. WORK shall be completed as quickly as possible and with as little delay as possible and shall proceed continuously (24 hours a day and seven days a week) if necessary to complete modifications and/or connections in the minimum time.

McMILLEN JACOBS – 072020 SCHEDULE OF VALUES

USFWS – ABERNATHY FTC; DOMESTIC WATER SYSTEM REHAB. PAGE 01 29 00 - 1

SECTION 01 29 00 - SCHEDULE OF VALUES

PART 1 -- GENERAL

1.1 GENERAL

A. This Section defines the process whereby the Schedule of Values (lump sum price breakdown) shall be developed and incorporated into the cost loading function of the Contractor’s CPM Schedule. Monthly or bi-weekly progress payment amounts shall be determined from the monthly progress updates of the CPM Schedule activities.

B. The Schedule of Values shall be developed independent but simultaneous with the development of the CPM Schedule activities and logic.

1.2 DETAILED SCHEDULE OF VALUES

A. The CONTRACTOR shall prepare and submit a detailed Schedule of Values to the USFWS within 14 Days from the date of Notice to Proceed. The detailed Schedule of Values shall be based on the accepted preliminary Schedule of Values for major WORK components. Because the ultimate requirement is to develop a detailed Schedule of Values sufficient to determine appropriate monthly progress payment amounts through cost loading of the CPM Schedule activities, sufficient detailed breakdown shall be provided to meet this requirement.

B. The USFWS shall be the sole judge of acceptable numbers, details and description of values established. If, in the opinion of the USFWS, a greater number of Schedule of Values items than proposed by the CONTRACTOR is necessary, the CONTRACTOR shall add the additional items so identified by the USFWS. The minimum detail of breakdown of the major WORK components is indicated below. Greater detail shall be provided if requested by the USFWS.

1. Mobilization: No greater than 4.0 percent of Contract Price

2. The total value of all civil yard piping work, including the preparation of all pipe trenches and excavations, cutting and demolition of existing water lines, lines, and connection of new lines to the Fire Hydrants (FH) and potable water system connections as shown on Contract Civil Drawings C101 thru C104. This work shall include all the coordination work and requirements of the three Temporary Shutdowns as defined in Section 01 14 00 - Construction and Schedule Constraints.

The WORK shall also include all hydrostatic testing and backfill of pipe trenches in the yard.

3. All other site civil WORK inclusive of clearing and grubbing, asphalt paving repair work, final grading and drainage WORK for the new PEMB and the yard trenching.

4. The total value of the new booster pump station pre-engineered metal building (PEMB), inclusive of all concrete foundation WORK and foundation preparation WORK, concrete equipment pad WORK, architectural WORK (doors, overhead door windows, and ventilation and heating system) and other incidental systems and features supplied by the MBSS. This line item shall not include any mechanical or electrical equipment, (including panels, conduits, wiring, lights and receptacle systems) required inside the new PEMB.

USFWS – ABERNATHY FTC; DOMESTIC WATER SYSTEM REHAB. PAGE 01 29 00 - 2

5. The total value of all pumping mechanical systems inside the new PEMB, including the booster pumps and motor assemblies and all associated galvanized steel piping, valving, pipe support systems, and the hydropneumatic bladder tanks and associated piping and valves.

6. The total value of the chlorine (sodium hypochlorite) feed system, including the entire prefabricated chemical feed system (pumps, pump table and accessories) the polyethylene day tank and mixers, the static mixer into which the chlorine solution is pumped, the new eyewash station, and the residual chlorine analyzer, piping, and appurtenances.

7. The total value of all piping demolition work and new piping work to be furnished inside the existing hatchery building, per Contract Drawing M301.

8. The total value of all electrical WORK required inside the new booster pump station pre-engineered metal building (PEMB).

9. The total value of all electrical WORK required on the site that is outside of the new booster pump station pre-engineered metal building (PEMB).

10. The total value of all other instrumentation and control work, as shown on the Contract Instrumentation Drawings, including any associated programming associated with the furnished interfaces of the VFDs and the chemical feed system.

11. Demobilization: No less than 1.0 percent of the Contract Price

12. The total value of all other WORK not specifically included in the above items, for a complete project fulfilling all the requirements of the Contract Documents.

C. The CONTRACTOR and USFWS shall meet and jointly review the detailed Schedule of Values within 30 Days from the date of Notice to Proceed. The value allocations and extent of detail shall be reviewed to determine any necessary adjustments to the values and to determine if sufficient detail has been proposed to allow acceptable cost loading of the CPM Schedule activities. Any adjustments deemed necessary to the value allocation or level of detail shall be made by the CONTRACTOR and a revised detailed Schedule of Values shall be submitted within 40 Days from the date of Notice to Proceed.

D. Following acceptance of the detailed Schedule of Values, the CONTRACTOR shall incorporate the values into the cost loading portion of the CPM Schedule. The CPM activities and logic shall have been developed concurrent with development of the detailed Schedule of Values; however, it shall be necessary to adjust the detailed Schedule of Values to correlate to individual Schedule activities. It is anticipated that instances will occur, due to the independent but simultaneous development of the Schedule of Values and the CPM Schedule activities, where interfacing these 2 documents will require changes to each document. Schedule activities may need to be added to accommodate the detail of the Schedule of Values. Schedule of Value items may need to be added to accommodate the detail of the CPM Schedule activities.

Where such instances arise, the CONTRACTOR shall propose changes to the Schedule of Values and to the CPM Schedule activities to satisfy the CPM Schedule cost loading requirements.

USFWS – ABERNATHY FTC; DOMESTIC WATER SYSTEM REHAB. PAGE 01 29 00 - 3

1.3 CROSS REFERENCE LISTING

A. To assist in the correlation of the Schedule of Values and the CPM Schedule, the CONTRACTOR shall provide a Cross Reference Listing which shall be furnished in 2 parts. The first part shall list each Scheduled Activity with the breakdown of the respective valued items making up the total cost of the activity. The second part shall list the valued item with the respective Scheduled Activity or Activities that make up the total cost indicated. In the case where a number of schedule items make up the total cost for a valued item (shown in the Schedule of Values) the total cost for each scheduled item should be indicated.

B. These listings shall be updated and submitted in conjunction with the CPM monthly submittals.

C. Approved change orders reflected in the CPM Schedule shall be incorporated into the Schedule of Values as a single unit identified by the change order number.

1.4 CHANGES TO SCHEDULE OF VALUES

A. Changes to the CPM Schedule which add activities not included in the original schedule but included in the original WORK (schedule omissions) shall have values assigned as approved by the USFWS. Other activity values shall be reduced to provide equal value adjustment increases for added activities as approved by the USFWS.

B. In the event that the CONTRACTOR and USFWS agree to make adjustments to the original Schedule of Values because of inequities discovered in the original accepted detailed Schedule of Values, increases and equal decreases to values for activities may be made.

1.5 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

A. The Schedule of Values information is an integral part of the scheduling and reporting requirements and the progress payment information. As such, it is critical information to evaluating progress and the proper planning of the USFWS's and COR's WORK-related effort as well as their financial obligations associated with this project. Accordingly, if any submittal required by this Section is found to be incomplete or is submitted later than required, the USFWS will suffer financial loss and, accordingly, liquidated damages will be assessed against the CONTRACTOR in accordance with FAR Clauses of the Contract.
