1.3 MATERIAL TO BE REMOVED

The material to be removed is generally sand, silt, and clay, however gravel, cobbles, and, artificial obstructions, should also be expected.

Laboratory results and gradation reports for each of the samples is attached at the end of this specification. It should be noted that dredge

SECTION 35 20 23 Page 1 material greater than 2" in size was not collected in the 2" diameter vibrocores/gradation testing, but is expected to be found in the dredge material.

1.3.1 Hard Material

The removal of hard material is not included. Should the Government direct in writing that hard material be removed, the work shall be performed and an adjustment in the contract price or time for completion, or both, will be made in accordance with "FAR 52.236-2, Differing Site Conditions." If hard material is to be removed, blasting will not be permitted.

If Contractor encounters hard material within the design dredge depths, Contractor shall show to the Government's satisfaction that the material is not excavatable by the equipment used for this project, and shall identify the limits and elevations of the hard material as directed, at no additional cost to the Government.

Hard material for this project is defined as bedrock. The Contractor shall anticipate hard pan clay and have equipment suitable for its removal.

1.3.2 Artificial Obstructions

The Government has no knowledge of existing ordnance, wrecks, wreckage, or other material of such size or character as to require the use of explosives or special or additional plant for its safe removal. Artificial obstructions excavated from the dredged area shall be placed in the dewatering area separate from the dredge materials, and shall be rinsed for review by the Government. All artificial obstructions shall become the property of the Contractor unless otherwise directed or indicated, and shall be properly disposed of at the end of the project, at no additional cost to the Government.

1.4 QUANTITY OF MATERIAL

1.4.1 General

The total estimated amount of material to be removed from within the specified limits, including side slopes, but excluding overdepths, is 6,700 cubic yards. The maximum amount of allowable overdepth dredging is estimated to be 9,900 cubic yards. The estimated quantity for bidding purposes and for application of the "FAR 52.212-11, Variation in Estimated Quantity" shall be 9,900 cubic yards, which is the total quantity, including overdepth. The quantities listed are estimates only. Within the limits of available funds, complete the work specified whether the quantities involved are greater or less than those estimated.

1.4.2 Overdepth Dredging

To cover unavoidable inaccuracies with the dredging process, material may be removed to a depth of 1 foot below the design dredge depth specified and within the dredging limits.

1.4.3 Side Slopes

Dredging on side slopes shall follow, as closely as practicable, the lines indicated or specified. A one foot allowance will be made for dredging beyond the indicated or specified side slopes, except as provided herein.
