1.10 PARTNERING
a. The Government intends to encourage the foundation of a cohesive partnership with the Contractor and its subcontractors. This partnership will be structured to draw on the strengths of each organization to identify and achieve reciprocal goals. Among the objectives are effective and efficient Contract performance and are intended to achieve completion within budget, on schedule, and in accordance with the plans and specifications; and to develop a single cooperative management team focused on the success of the project to mutual benefit of all stakeholders. This partnership will be bilateral in makeup, and participation will be totally voluntary. Any cost associated with effectuating this partnership will be agreed to by both parties, and will be shared equally with no change to the Contract price. An integral aspect of partnering is the resolution of disputes in a timely, professional, and non-adversarial manner through the use of issue clarification and problem solving. Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) methodologies will be encouraged in place of the more formal dispute resolution procedures. ADR will assist in promoting and maintaining an amicable working relationship to preserve the partnership. ADR is a voluntary, non-binding procedure available for use by the parties to this Contract to resolve any dispute that may arise during performance.
b. Should the Contractor elect to participate in partnering, key on-site and home office management personnel will be required to attend a full day partnering session as directed by the Government with an outside facilitator. The cost of this facilitated session is anticipated to be around $5,000 and will be shared equally between the Contractor and the Government.
1.11 EQUIPMENT OWNERSHIP AND OPERATING EXPENSE SCHEDULE
a. This special contract requirement does not apply to terminations.
See FAR Part 49.
b. Allowable cost for construction and marine plant and equipment in
SECTION 01 10 00.00 25 Page 7 sound workable condition owned or controlled and furnished by a contractor or subcontractor at any tier shall be based on actual cost data for each piece of equipment or groups of similar serial and series for which the Government can determine both ownership and operating costs from the contractor's accounting records. When both ownership and operating costs cannot be determined for any piece of equipment or groups of similar serial or series equipment from the contractor's accounting records, costs for that equipment shall be based upon the applicable provisions of EP 1110-1-8 , Construction Equipment Ownership and Operating Expense Schedule, Region VIII.
Working conditions shall be considered to be average for determining equipment rates using the schedule unless specified otherwise by the contracting officer. For equipment not included in the schedule, rates for comparable pieces of equipment may be used or a rate may be developed using the formula provided in the schedule. For forward pricing, the schedule in effect at the time of negotiations shall apply. For retroactive pricing, the schedule in effect at the time the work was performed shall apply.
c. Equipment rental costs are allowable, subject to the provisions of FAR 31.105(d)(ii) and FAR 31.205-36, Rental Costs. Rates for equipment rented from an organization under common control, lease-purchase arrangements, and sale-leaseback arrangements, will be determined using the schedule, except that actual rates will be used for equipment leased from an organization under common control that has an established practice of leasing the same or similar equipment to unaffiliated lessees.
d. When actual equipment costs are proposed and the total amount of the pricing action exceeds the SAT, the contracting officer shall request the contractor to submit either certified cost or pricing data, or partial/limited data, as appropriate. The data shall be submitted on Standard Form 1411, Contract Pricing Proposal Cover Sheet.
1.12 BASIS FOR SETTLEMENT OF PROPOSALS
a. Actual costs will be used to determine equipment costs for a settlement proposal submitted on the total cost basis.
b. In evaluating a termination settlement proposal using the total cost basis, the following principles will be applied to determine allowable equipment costs:
(1) Actual costs for each piece of equipment, or groups of similar serial or series equipment, need not be available in the contractor's accounting records to determine total actual equipment costs.
(2) If equipment costs have been allocated to a contract using predetermined rates, those charges will be adjusted to actual costs.
(3) Recorded job costs adjusted for unallowable expenses will be used to determine equipment operating expenses.
(4) Ownership costs (depreciation) will be determined using the contractor's depreciation schedule (subject to the provisions of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 31.205-11).
SECTION 01 10 00.00 25 Page 8
(5) License, taxes, storage and insurance costs are normally recovered as an indirect expense and unless the contractor charges these costs directly to contracts, they will be recovered through the indirect expense rate.

1.4 IN-WATER WORK
1.4.1 In-Water Work (IWW) Periods
The Government has established interim construction completion date, described as "in-water work periods," coinciding with the annual cycles of fish migration and related allowed maintenance periods. In general, this is a work period that allows for work in the water, on the water, and adjacent to the water where the work might affect fish passage (usually a 50-foot rule from the work site to the water). The IWW period established for this Contract is: 1 December through 28 February.
1.4.2 In-Water Work Activities
For purposes of this Contract, work items that must be restricted to the IWW period, along with further work restrictions, are described below:
a. All work involving barges or other floating plant.
b. All work in an active streambed.
1.5 INCLEMENT WEATHER CONSTRUCTION
The Contractor's schedule must reflect adverse weather days in all weather dependent activities as defined in Contract Clause 52.236-4, PHYSICAL DATA. Protect work areas from inclement weather, wind damage, and precipitation so that no delay in the prosecution of critical work items, or damage to Government property occurs. No time extensions will be authorized for materials, work in place, or equipment damaged due to negligence during periods of inclement weather.
1.6 WORK BY THE GOVERNMENT CONCURRENT WITH CONTRACTOR WORK
The Government will limit interference with the Contractor's work to the maximum reasonable extent and the Government and Contractor will coordinate as necessary.
1.6.1 Fish Ladder Entrances
All Contractor equipment shall be located between Bays 3 and 4 and Bays 11 and 12 for the north barrier structure and south barrier structure, respectively. Floating plant shall not be stationed near or block the flow from any operating Fish Ladder entrance.
1.6.2 Spillway Operations
During construction normal river flows shall be passed through the
SECTION 01 10 10.00 25 Page 4
Powerhouse; however, emergency spills through the spillway may be required. Flow through the spillway will occur when the total river exceeds the Powerhouse capacity. All work must be completed with sufficient time to allow for cure time such that spill for juvenile fish passage which uses all 18 spillway bays can begin on April 10th.
a. Seasonal River Flows:
(1) A forced spill operation can occur during seasonal river flows when the capacity of the Powerhouse is exceeded and the balance of the flow shall be passed over the spillway. During the in-water work period (IWW) for this Contract, the expected Powerhouse hydraulic capacity at Bonneville Dam will range from 170 thousand cubic feet per second (kft3/s) to 215 kft3/s depending on unit availability. The following flows have statistically occurred between 1976 and 1999:
Month December January February March
Average (kft3/s) 159.0 175.0 150.0 160.0
Maximum (kft3/s) 340.0 379.0 245.0 295.0
Minimum (kft3/s) 76.0 75.2 110.0 90.0
(2) The goal is not to spill but it should be anticipated that spill will occur during this Contract. A daily coordination meeting will be required between the Contractor and the Government to forecast river conditions at 13:30 PST.
(3) Interim spill patterns will be developed to minimize hydraulic loads on equipment. The Contractor should plan on estimated velocities on the floating equipment to range from zero to 3 knots during the interim spill. The interim spill patterns will be adjusted as the Contractor moves equipment. The Contractor shall have no personnel on any floating plant in the spillway channel during spill, except for fish ladder attraction spill which occurs through Bays 1 and 18, approximately 1500 ft3/s per bay. The velocities in the work area are expected to range from zero to one knot with fish ladder attraction spill.
b. High Season River Flows and Emergency Condition:
(1) If during this Contract, a requirement arises for the Bonneville Project to execute an emergency spill, the Contractor will be immediately notified by the Government of this emergency spill requirement. The Contractor shall immediately cease work and evacuate all personnel only (i.e. no equipment) from the Spillway BRZ. The Bonneville Operators plan is to start spill after 10 MINUTES from the Contractor notification. The Government will be in communication with the Contractor during evacuation.
The evacuation locations can be to the Navigation Lock Downstream Dock Area (most preferable) or downstream of the Project outer BRZ (less preferable) or the Powerhouse 2 BRZ area around the north downstream end of Cascade Island (least preferable).
(2) If during this Contract a planned or directed spill is
SECTION 01 10 10.00 25 Page 5 scheduled, the Contractor will be given notice by the Government and will have a minimum of 24 hours to evacuate personnel and equipment.
1.6.3 Stage Duration Curves
Tailwater stage duration curves are provided as Attachment A7. The curves provide information regarding water surface elevation exceedances for the period of time indicated. The stage (water surface elevation) is based on historical information and is based on historical operations of Bonneville Project.
1.6.4 Columbia River Flows at Bonneville Lock and Dam
The Columbia River at Bonneville Lock and Dam is a run of the river project and conditions are not controlled or set by specific operations or manipulations of the series of dams on the Columbia River. Flow conditions are dynamic but coordination with RCC/BPA will provide flow forecasting.
Due to power peaking and biological operational constraints there is significant fluctuation in project discharge and resulting tailwater in any 24 hours. Discharge will typically vary 50 to 60 Kcfs in 24 hours but can vary as much as 120 Kcfs. Flows are generally lower and flatter on the weekends and holidays due to lower power demands. The tailwater will typically vary 4 to 5 feet, generally less on weekends and holidays, but can very as much as 3 feet per hour and 12 feet in 24 hours during the in-water-work period for this Contract.
1.7 WEEKLY COORDINATION MEETINGS
Weekly coordination meetings must be held between the Contractor and the Government. This meeting will be used to discuss Contractor's safety, Quality Control Program, joint risk management, submittals, deficiencies, Contract administration, schedule, actual progress in the last week, and work planned in the upcoming two weeks. Any work requiring Project support or potential impacts to Project operations or maintenance must be noted. During the Preconstruction Meeting, the Government will determine responsibility of running this meeting. If the Government elects to run the coordination meeting, the Contractor must provide a two week look ahead, with the previous week progress, 48 hours before each weekly meeting to the Government representative. The responsible party must prepare and distribute, by e-mail, the coordination meeting agenda with a two week look ahead no later than 24 hours before each meeting. A meeting time and place will be mutually agreed upon for the same time each week.
Distribute weekly coordination meeting minutes no later than the close of business the next business day.
1.8 CONTRACTOR EMPLOYEES
Ensure that all employees are capable of demonstrating adequate knowledge of tools, supplies, equipment, and techniques necessary to competently perform the work. All personnel employed by the Contractor must be fully qualified in their respective fields to render the services necessary.
