1.2.1 Project Description

The project is defined by the Contract Documents and consists of all work, including all equipment, materials, labor and supervision, necessary to fully complete the work for USCG EAGLE New Dredging Project (the "PROJECT"). The PROJECT consists of dredging the South side of the New London City Pier to accommodate the EAGLE CUTTER at the pier. Dredging for the EAGLE slip area will not be performed. The PROJECT consists solely of dredging the supplemental area for the proposed tugs at the South side of the New London City Pier to a design elevation of -17' MLLW.

The work includes dredging of 3,663 cubic yards ("CY") of material (including a 2-ft over-dredge allowance)and placement in the approved Dredge Material Placement Area (DMPA)in accordance with federal, state, and local permits being obtained by the USCG. Major work items include the following:

1. Mobilization and set-up.

2. Pre-dredge Hazard Survey of all areas where dredging will occur.

3. Pre-dredge bathymetric survey.

4. Demolition and removal of pile debris within the dredge footprint in accordance with the Contract documents, and local, state, and federal regulations.

5. Dredging as shown on the Contract Drawings.

6. Interim surveys, as required, to confirm areas have been dredged to the design elevations specified in the contract drawings in the event of an interruption or a sudden change in dredged volume.

SECTION 01 11 00 Page 1

7. Placement of dredge material in the approved DMPA.

8. Post-Dredge Survey of all areas where dredging occurred.

9. Demobilization and cleanup.

The sequence of work shall be determined by the successful KTR, unless otherwise restricted by the USCG or permit conditions. Work shall be continuous from start to finish with no appreciable shut down periods.

The project includes one (1) Base Bid Item (BBI) and one (1) Optional Bid Item (OBI) as summarized below.

BBI #1

RPUID 854465, New London City Pier: Dredging and placement of dredge material in accordance with the contract documents. Removal and disposal of existing, non-coated/non-treated buried piling in accordance with the contract documents.

OBI #1

Additionally, debris such as metal bands, pallets, broken cable pieces, and broken piles may be present in the area. The Contractor is also responsible for the safe handling and disposal of such debris as outlined in the Best Management Practices (BMPs) provided in the specification.

c. Pipelines and/or other existing underground installations in the vicinity of the Work may be present. The contractor shall contact local utility companies and notify them of the work in advance of mobilization. The successful KTR shall make every effort to locate all underground obstacles and/or pipelines by prospecting in advance of dredging. Any damage to pipelines, including any resulting environmental contamination, caused by the dredging activities shall be repaired / cleaned up by the KTR. Any delay or cost incurred by the KTR with respect to repairing / cleaning up with respect to pipeline or existing utility damage shall not constitute a claim for extra work, additional payment, or damages.

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

3.1.1 Withholdings / Payment Rejection

Failure to meet the requirements of this specification may result in the disapproval of the preliminary, initial or periodic schedule updates and subsequent rejection of payment requests until compliance is met.

In the event that the KO directs schedule revisions and those revisions have not been included in subsequent Project Schedule revisions or updates, the KO may withhold 10 percent of pay request amount from each payment period until such revisions to the project schedule have been made.

3.2 PROJECT SCHEDULE DETAILED REQUIREMENTS

3.2.1 Level of Detail Required

Develop the Project Schedule to the appropriate level of detail to address major milestones and to allow for satisfactory project planning and execution. Failure to develop the Project Schedule to an appropriate level of detail will result in its disapproval. The KO will consider, but is not limited to, the following characteristics and requirements, defined in the following sections, to determine appropriate level of detail.

3.2.2 Government Activities

Show Government and other agency activities that could impact progress.

These activities include, but are not limited to: approvals, environmental permit approvals by State and/or Federal regulators, inspections, utility tie-in, Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) and Notice to Proceed (NTP) for phasing requirements.

3.2.3 Added and Deleted Activities

Do not delete activities from the project schedule or add new activities to the schedule without approval from the KO. Activity number and description changes are considered new activities and cannot be changed without KO approval.

3.2.4 Percent Complete

Update the percent complete for each activity started, based on the realistic assessment of earned value.

SECTION 01 32 00 Page 3

3.2.5 Remaining Duration

Update the remaining duration for each activity based on the number of estimated workdays it will take to complete the activity.

3.3 REQUESTS FOR TIME EXTENSIONS

Provide a justification of delay to the KO in accordance with the contract provisions and clauses for approval within 10 days of a delay occurring.

Also prepare a time impact analysis for each Government request for proposal (RFP) to justify time extensions.

3.3.1 Justification of Delay

Provide a description of the event(s) that caused the delay and/or impact to the work. As part of the description, identify all schedule activities impacted. Show that the event that caused the delay/impact was the responsibility of the Government. Provide a time impact analysis that demonstrates the effects of the delay or impact on the project completion date or interim completion date(s).

3.3.2 Time Extension

No time extension will be granted without KO approval of the Justification of Delay and time impact analysis. Approval will not be granted unless the delay consumes all available Project Float and extends the projected finish date ("End Project" milestone) beyond the Contract Completion Date. The time extension will be in calendar days.

Actual delays that are found to be caused by the KTR's own actions, which result in a calculated schedule delay will not be a cause for an extension to the performance period, completion date, or any interim milestone date.

3.4 FAILURE TO ACHIEVE PROGRESS

Should the progress fall behind the approved project schedule for reasons other than those that are excusable within the terms of the contract, the KO may require provision of a written recovery plan for approval. The plan must detail how progress will be made-up to include which activities will be accelerated by adding additional crews, longer work hours, extra work days, etc.

3.4.1 Failure to Perform

Failure to perform work and maintain progress in accordance with the supplemental recovery plan may result in an interim and final unsatisfactory performance rating and may result in corrective action directed by the KO pursuant to FAR 52.236-15 Schedules for Construction Contracts, FAR 52.249-10 Default (Fixed-Price Construction), and other contract provisions.

3.5 MODIFICATIONS

When a modification is issued by the Government, record the modification as the last activity of the Construction Schedule and Schedule of Values and include the value of the modification. Adjust the Schedule of Values to reflect the inclusion of the modification. Revise the Construction Schedule portion of the form to annotate the progress change. Enter all

SECTION 01 32 00 Page 4 modifications in this manner in sequential order.
