The Contractor shall keep a log of sensor repair, replacement, installation, modification, and calibration in the dredge's onboard copy of the DPIP. The log shall contain a three-year history of sensor maintenance, including the time of the sensor failures (and subsequent repairs), the time and results of sensor calibrations, the time of sensor replacements, and the time that backup sensor systems were initiated to provide the required data. It shall also contain the name of the person responsible for the sensor work.

Sensors installed shall be capable of collecting parameters within the specified accuracies and resolutions indicated in the following subparagraphs and transmit these parameters to the DQM database. All data shall be transmitted in JSON message bundles. Each bundle can contain multiple message types. Sensor data shall be transmitted as work event messages, and data which relates to the operational state of the dredge or its sensors shall be transmitted as state event messages. See paragraph entitled "Parameter Transmission to the Web Service".

3.1.1 Message Bundle Data

Every message bundle shall contain descriptive data that relates the

SECTION 35 20 23.33 Page 5 message to a given dredge plant and date/time. The start of a message bundle shall be identified by the tag "DQM_data".

3.1.1.1 Messages

Messages contain operational data that populates the DQM database for a dredge plant. A message shall consist of an event type and its associated data (as defined in paragraph entitled "Dredge Events"), a date/time stamp indicating when the event occurred or started, and a comment providing clarification or metadata about the situation. There are multiple event types, but they all fall into one of two categories - work events and state events.

3.1.1.1.1 Message Time

In a work event message, message time is the date and time that the data is collected from the sensors; in a state event message, message time is the date and time that the state event begins. The message time shall be reported to the nearest second and referenced to Coordinated Universal Time

(UTC) time based on a 24-hour format (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS). In order to ensure accuracy and reliability, the time stamp shall be synchronized to

UTC format from an accurate, unchangeable source (for example, a GPS

National Marine Electronics Association [NMEA] datastring). Message time shall be identified by the tag "msg_time".

3.1.1.1.2 Comment

Comments concerning the work event or state event messages being transmitted provide descriptive information that relates to the data. An example of a comment for work event data is information about a sensor issue; an example of a comment for state event data is a description of operations. A comment shall be identified by the introductory tag

"comment", and the comment shall consist of no more than 250 characters.

3.1.1.2 Dredge Events - Work Event

There are two types of dredge event messages - work event messages and state event messages. Work event messages contain data that are instantaneously collected or calculated from sensors and are logged as a series of events. Work events are triggered by a time interval change (as described in paragraph entitled "Work Event Messages"). All work event messages shall be initiated by the header tag "work_event".

3.1.1.2.1 Vertical Correction

The variation of the water level from the vertical datum for the river stage or tidal gage described in the state events shall be obtained using appropriate equipment to give the water level with an accuracy of +/- 0.1

ft. Vertical correction values above project datum described in the dredging specification shall be entered with a positive sign and those below with a negative sign. The tag for vertical correction shall be

"vert_correction".

3.1.1.2.2 Cutter/Suction Head Location and Movement

The X, Y, and Z components of the cutter/suction head location shall be monitored. Additional calculations made from the observed values determine the rates of movement to track the progress of the dredge.

3.1.1.2.2.1 Cutter/Suction Head Horizontal Position

The forwardmost point of the cutter/suction head shall be obtained using a positioning system operating with a minimum accuracy level of 3-10 feet horizontal Circular Error Probable (CEP). It shall be reported as

Latitude/Longitude WGS 84 in decimal degrees with West Longitude and South

Latitude values reported as negative. Position values shall be identified by the tags "ch_latitude" and "ch_longitude".

3.1.1.2.2.2 Cutter/Suction Invert Depth

Cutter/suction invert depth is the depth of the invert of the suction mouth relative to the surface of the water. Instrumentation shall be capable of reporting to an accuracy of +/- 0.5 foot and a resolution to the nearest

0.1 foot with no tidal adjustments. Minimum accuracies are conditional to relatively calm water. The tag "ch_depth" shall be used to identify the cutter/suction head depth.

3.1.1.2.2.3 Cutter/Suction Head Heading

The cutter/suction head heading is the angle of the centerline of the cutter/suction head and dredge ladder measured relative to true north. All headings shall be provided using industry-standard equipment. The heading shall be accurate to within 5 degrees and reported to the nearest whole degree with values from 000 (true north) to 359 degrees referenced to a clockwise positive direction convention. The tag "ch_heading" shall be used to identify the cutter/suction head heading.

3.1.1.2.3 Dredge Activity

Dredge activity shall be monitored using a combination of the following parameters.

3.1.1.2.3.1 Slurry Velocity

A flow-metering device, calibrated according to the manufacturer's specifications, shall be used to record the slurry velocity to the nearest

0.01 fps with an accuracy of plus 0.1 fps. If the manufacturer does not specify a frequency of recalibration, calibration shall be conducted prior to the commencement of work. The slurry velocity shall be measured for the same pipeline inside diameter as that used for the slurry density measurement. The tag "slurry_velocity" shall be associated with this value.

3.1.1.2.3.2 Slurry Density

A density-metering device, calibrated according to the manufacturer's specifications, shall be used to record the slurry density to the nearest

0.01 g/cc. It is understood that the accuracy of this sensor can vary based on several factors, including the type of material, the magnitude of the cut, and the length of time since calibration. If the manufacturer does not specify a frequency of recalibration, calibration shall be conducted prior to the commencement of work. Continuous monitoring of this sensor ensures that drift and other factors inherent in the dredging process can be accounted for in monitoring dredge activity. The tag "slurry_density" shall be associated with this value.

3.1.1.2.3.3 Pump RPM

The pump rpm is the number of revolutions per minute measured for the

SECTION 35 20 23.33 Page 7 slurry pump shaft. The shaft revolution rate (rev/min) shall be measured with the highest level of accuracy that is standard on the vessel's operational displays either at the bridge or in the engine room. This value shall be identified by the tag "rpm".

3.1.1.2.3.4 Pump Vacuum

The vacuum pressure of the dredge pump(s) (inches of mercury) shall be measured as near to the eye as practicable in the pump's suction pipe with the highest level of accuracy that is standard on the vessel's operational displays either at the leverman's controls or in the engine room. Vacuum pressure shall be identified by the tag "vacuum".

3.1.1.2.3.5 Pump Outlet Pressure

The pump outlet pressure shall be measured in the discharge line on the pump side of the flap valve in terms of pounds per square inch (psi) on a gauge. Pump outlet pressure shall be identified by the tag "outlet_psi".

The X and Y position of the terminal end of the outfall pipe shall be monitored continuously and the position reported as part of the work event string.

3.1.1.2.4.1 Discharge Horizontal Position

The horizontal position of the outfall end of the discharge pipe shall be obtained using a positioning system operating with a minimum accuracy level of 3-10 feet horizontal Circular Error Probable (CEP). It shall be reported as Latitude/Longitude WGS 84 in decimal degrees with West Longitude and

South Latitude values being reported as negative. Position values shall be identified by the tags "outfall_latitude" and "outfall_longitude".

3.1.1.3 Dredge Events - State Event

There are two types of dredge event messages - work event messages and state event messages. State event messages provide information about the current state of the dredge equipment or operations. They are created and sent only when a state changes. Since state events often cannot be collected in real time, state events are tagged with a date time stamp

(referenced to Coordinated Universal Time [UTC]) that indicates when the state change happened relative to the work event message tag. This data is considered to be "true" until another state event tag is received. Each type of state event message shall be indicated by a specific header tag as enumerated in the following subparagraphs. State events can be transmitted along with work event message bundles directly by the contractor using the indicated format, or they can be entered on the "State" tab in the

DQM-provided software.

3.1.1.3.1 Message Time

The state event time is the date and time that the event starts. The leverman's time shall be entered to the nearest second as local time and automatically converted to and reported in UTC based on a 24-hour format

(YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS). Message time shall be identified by the tag

"msg_time".

DQM Pipeline Software

3.3 DREDGE MONITORING DATA

3.3.1 General

Onboard sensors continuously collect dredging data in support of the dredge

Contractor's operations. Portions of this Contractor-collected information, as described in this specification, and calculations based on them shall be stored and transmitted to the DQM database on a near real-time basis.

Additionally, information regarding the state of the dredge shall be digitally logged and transmitted.

3.3.2 Data Measurement Frequency

The frequency of data transmission is dependent on the type of message being sent. Work Event messages contain data that are instantaneously collected or calculated from sensors and are logged as a series of events.

State event messages are activated by a change in the dredge state.

3.3.2.1 Work Event Messages

Data shall be logged as a series of events. Each event shall consist of a dataset containing dredge information (as defined in paragraph entitled

"Requirements for Reported Data"). Each set of measurements (for example, time and position) shall be considered an event, and there shall be a 6-12 second interval between work events. This interval shall remain consistent across event types for the dredge plant.

A standard data string shall be recorded within one second of an event trigger with the time stamp and all parameters reflecting when the event happened.

3.3.2.2 State Event Messages

A set of descriptive information (event name, time, description, comment) shall be considered a state event. These events shall be recorded within 24 hours of a change in state with the time stamp reflecting when the event happened.

3.3.3 Parameter Transmission to the Web Service

The data shall be formatted as JSON (JavaScript Object Notation, as defined at http://www.json.org) strings of arbitrary length. These JSON strings represent a hierarchical data structure consisting of a message bundle which may contain 0-3 automatic data messages and any number of manual data messages.

A tag/parameter is reported only when it contains a value. No "Null" value strings shall be included in a message bundle.

3.4 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS

The Contractor's National Dredging Quality Management Program's data transmission shall be fully operational at the start of dredging operations. To meet contract requirements for operability, the Contractor's system shall provide an accurate data string return and be compliant with hardware requirements. Data string return is defined as the number of quality records within an event or state tag sent by the contractor's system to the DQM database. Quality data strings are considered to be those providing accurate values for all parameters reported when operating according to the specification. Repairs necessary to restore data return compliance shall be made within two business days, or a plan and timeline for repair shall be submitted to the DQM Data Acquisition and Analysis Team if the repair will take more than two business days. Failure by the

Contractor to report quality data within the specified time window for dredge measurements as stated in the specifications (see paragraphs entitled "Internet Access", "Data Measurement Frequency" and "Parameter

Transmission to the Web Service") will result in withholding of up to 10% of the contract progress payment in accordance to the 00700 Contract Clause entitled PAYMENTS UNDER FIXED-PRICE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS, FAR 52.232-5.

3.5 QUALITY ASSURANCE CHECKS

Quality assurance (QA) checks are a part of the DQM dredge certification procedure. They are required prior to the commencement of dredging and, at the discretion of the COR, periodically throughout the duration of the contract. The SOP and criteria for QA checks are presented on the DQM website at https://dqm.usace.army.mil.

3.6 CONTRACTOR QUALITY CONTROL

The Contractor shall designate a quality control systems manager (QCSM), who shall develop and maintain daily procedures to ensure quality control

(QC) of the dredge's DQM system. These methods shall include the procedure by which data being collected is checked against known values, and verification that the telemetry is functioning. These procedures shall be outlined in the DPIP and submitted prior to the Notice to Proceed.
