WELDERS - Receive rate prescribed for craft performing operation to which welding is incidental.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).

The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of "identifiers" that indicate whether the particular rate is union or non-union.

Union Identifiers

An identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" denotes that the union classification and rate have found to be prevailing for that classification. Example: PLUM0198-005 07/01/2011. The first four letters , PLUM, indicate the international union and the four-digit number, 0198, that follows indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable , i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. The date, 07/01/2011, following these characters is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate/collective bargaining agreement which would be July 1, 2011 in the above example.

Union prevailing wage rates will be updated to reflect any changes in the collective bargaining agreements governing the rate.

Non-Union Identifiers

Classifications listed under an "SU" identifier were derived from survey data by computing average rates and are not union rates; however, the data used in computing these rates may include both union and non-union data. Example: SULA2004-007 5/13/2010. SU indicates the rates are not union rates, LA indicates the State of Louisiana; 2004 is the year of the survey; and 007 is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. A 1993 or later date, 5/13/2010, indicates the classifications and rates under that identifier were issued as a General Wage Determination on that date.

Survey wage rates will remain in effect and will not change until a new survey is conducted.

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be:

* an existing published wage determination

* a survey underlying a wage determination

* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter

* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling

On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.)

and 3.) should be followed.

With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:

Branch of Construction Wage Determinations Wage and Hour Division U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party (those affected by the action) can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to:

Wage and Hour Administrator U.S. Department of Labor

200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested party's position and by any information (wage payment data, project description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.

3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:

Administrative Review Board U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.

The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of "identifiers" that indicate whether the particular rate is union or non-union.

Union Identifiers

An identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" denotes that the union classification and rate have found to be prevailing for that classification. Example: PLUM0198-005 07/01/2011. The first four letters , PLUM, indicate the international union and the four-digit number, 0198, that follows indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable , i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. The date, 07/01/2011, following these characters is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate/collective bargaining agreement which would be July 1, 2011 in the above example.

Union prevailing wage rates will be updated to reflect any changes in the collective bargaining agreements governing the rate.

Non-Union Identifiers

Classifications listed under an "SU" identifier were derived from survey data by computing average rates and are not union rates; however, the data used in computing these rates may include both union and non-union data. Example: SULA2004-007 5/13/2010. SU indicates the rates are not union rates, LA indicates the State of Louisiana; 2004 is the year of the survey; and 007 is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. A 1993 or later date, 5/13/2010, indicates the classifications and rates under that identifier were issued as a General Wage Determination on that date.

Survey wage rates will remain in effect and will not change until a new survey is conducted.

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be:

* an existing published wage determination

* a survey underlying a wage determination

* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter

* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling

On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.)

and 3.) should be followed.

With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:

Branch of Construction Wage Determinations Wage and Hour Division U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party (those affected by the action) can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to:

Wage and Hour Administrator U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested party's position and by any information (wage payment data, project description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.

3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:

Administrative Review Board U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.

1.1 SCOPE

The information provided in this section encompasses the geotechnical field investigations available for this project. The investigations consist of borings with the associated boring logs and laboratory data presented in paragraphs 1.5.5 and 1.5.6, respectively. A character of materials paragraph is included to provide a comprehensive description of the materials utilizing both recent and historical knowledge of the project area. Also included in this section are definitions of terms and boring log notes, which provide additional explanation of the boring logs and drilling techniques.

Items discussed in the character of materials paragraph may not appear explicitly on the boring logs. Based on historic knowledge of the project area, the character of materials paragraph includes items that supplement the data documented by the boring logs. When reviewing the boring logs, use all of the data on the logs, including the materials description, legend, and blow counts. When evaluating the subsurface conditions, use all of the data, including the character of materials paragraph and boring logs.

During the solicitation period, any questions that pertain to the information provided in this section should be addressed to the contract specialist identified in Block 9 of SF1442. After contract award, questions should be addressed to the appointed ACO/COR, which will coordinate with Geotechnical Branch.

1.2 PROJECT BACKGROUND

The previously approved borrow area, Gilbert Shoal, has been fully utilized therefore alternative sand sources were identified. USACE identified a potential borrow area (referred to as ‘Area B’) located about six miles offshore of Jensen Beach, Martin County in water depths of 47 to 63 ft. The proposed borrow area for this project utilizes only the northern section of the identified borrow source, and is the only portion of the borrow area addressed in this document, reference Plate

1. Maximum dredge depth for this project is -60ft NAVD88, reference Plate 2.

1.3 CHARACTER OF MATERIALS

1.3.1 Regional and Local Geology

The continental shelf east of Martin County is typical of a submerged coastal plain with gentle seaward inclination and subdued topographic relief, with naturally divisible inner and outer zones and a well-developed shoreface zone. This shelf region varies from 2-38 miles in width. The borrow area is located within the shelf and is characterized as a low-relief shoal.

Martin County SPP Beach Renourishment 2013

SECTION 00 31 32 Page 7

The immediate shore area consists of low barrier islands. North of the St. Lucie Inlet, the barrier is backed by the broad lagoons of the Banana River and Indian River. In the nearshore area, the surficial and shallow subsurface is comprised of the Anastasia formation and recent beach and estuarine deposits. The Anastasia formation, of Pleistocene age, is primarily composed of shelly, sandy beds which have consolidated into a sandy limestone or coquina. It outcrops in several areas along the coast of Martin County.

1.3.2 Materials Encountered

Twenty-nine (29) vibracore borings are located within the borrow area as listed in table 1 and depicted in Plate 2. The borings indicate the presence of the following materials within the maximum dredging depth;

shell sand with up to gravel sized shell fragments and whole shells and various amounts of quartz, and poorly-graded sand comprised of various amount of quartz and carbonate. Trace amounts of silt are present.

1.4 DEFINITIONS

Definitions not explicitly indicated in the sections below are typical industry standard definitions from their respective ASTMs.

1.4.1 Definitions of Basic Terms

Carbonate – Soil component that reacts with HCl of an indeterminate origin (shell, rock, etc.).

Fill – Material that has been placed by man, described with all soil characteristics.

Layer – Rock or soil with a thickness of 6 inches or less.

Lens – A geologic deposit of variable thickness, which disappears laterally in all directions and cannot be correlated to adjacent borings.

Rock – A naturally occurring substance composed of one or more minerals bound together. This geologic term includes a range of engineering properties: strength, hardness, permeability, weathering, and discontinuity. These properties are noted or can be inferred from the boring logs as blow counts, penetration rate, RQD, hardness, etc.

Shell – Material composed of predominantly (>75%) coarse-grained sand to gravel-sized whole or broken shell.

1.4.2 Current Logging Terms

Definition of terms used on boring logs dated since 2000:

Banded - 0.02' (6 mm) to 0.1' (3.0 cm).

Boulder-Sized – Particles greater than 12 inches in diameter.

Cavity - Voids greater than the diameter of the core.

Coarse Grained - Grain diameter greater than 0.079" (2 mm) for sedimentary rocks or 0.197" (5 mm) for igneous or metamorphic rocks.

Coarse Grained Sand-Sized – Less than 10 percent of fine and medium grained sand sizes are present.

Martin County SPP Beach Renourishment 2013

SECTION 00 31 32 Page 8

Coarse Gravel-Sized – Particles greater than 3/4 of an inch but less than 3 inches in diameter.

Cobble-Sized – Particles greater than 3 inches but less than 12 inches in diameter.

Decomposed – Applicable to saprolitic rock; rock is essentially reduced to a soil with a relic rock texture; can be molded or crumbled by hand.

Dipping (Dip) - 20 to 45 degrees.

Discontinue – Particles were present within the unit above but are no longer present.

Fine Grained - Grain diameter between 0.004" (0.1 mm) and 0.016" (0.4

mm) for sedimentary rocks or 0.039" (1 mm) for igneous or metamorphic rocks.

Fine Grained Sand-Sized - Less than 10 percent of medium and coarse grained sand sizes are present.

Fine Gravel-Sized – Particles greater than No. 4 sieve but less than 3/4 of an inch in diameter.

Flat (Dip) - 0 to 20 degrees.

Fossiliferous – Greater than 40 percent fossils.

Hard (Hardness) - Difficult to scratch with a knife (cannot be pitted with a geology hammer, but can be chipped with moderate blows of the hammer).

Highly Fractured - Spacing 0.3' (9.1 cm) to 1' (30.5 cm).

Highly Weathered - Entire section is discolored;…
