SUMMARY OF WORK

08/ 15, CHG 2: 08/ 21

PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

1.1.1 Project Description

The Seaway Site (historically known as Niagara Landfill) is an inactive landfill located on River Road in the Town of Tonawanda, New York. Sheet G-001 of the Drawings shows the location of the Seaway landfill site. The Seaway Site is located within the 100-acre Seaway Industrial Park located along River Road in the Town of Tonawanda, Erie County, New York, north of Buffalo and just south of the Niagara River. The Seaway landfill occupies approximately 90 percent of the property (90 acres). The Seaway landfill is approximately 80 acres. The Site was operated as a landfill by Browning-Ferris Industries (BFI) through 1993. After ceasing operations approximately 58 acres of the landfill was capped by BFI in accordance with requirements of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) requirements at the time of closure. The remaining 22-acre uncapped areas consist of areas of known Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP)-related contaminants.

The Ashland 1, Ashland 2, and Rattlesnake Creek Sites (together referred to as the Ashland Sites) and the Linde FUSRAP Site are located in close proximity to Seaway. The properties immediately east and west of the Site are owned by Ashland Oil & Refining Company, primarily using these areas for industrial purposes. Other industrial facilities are located nearby along River Road.

Uncapped portions of the Seaway Site within the scope of the Project are divided into the following areas (see Sheet CS-101 of the Drawings):

a. Area A: This area is approximately 12 acres in size located in the northeast section of the landfill. Most FUSRAP-related contamination is at or near the surface, but some has been covered with a thin layer of soil or refuse up to 10 feet in depth.

b. Areas B and C: These areas are located between two closed portions of the landfill covering approximately 7 acres. The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) also determined that Areas B and C were a single contiguous area. The majority of these areas have been covered with a thick layer of soil and refuse, ranging from a few feet to more than 70 feet (Appendix A).

c. Other Uncapped Landfill Area: This area is located between Areas A, B, and C and the closed portions of the landfill covering approximately 3 acres.

Materials containing low levels of residual radioactivity were disposed on adjacent property, Ashland 1, from 1942 to 1946. These radioactive residues were the result of activities conducted at the former Linde FUSRAP Site to support the nation's early atomic energy and weapons program. In 1974, this material was relocated by Ashland Oil to the Seaway Site Areas A, B, C, and the Ashland 2 Site. These residues

SECTION 01 11 00 Page 1 contained the following FUSRAP contaminants of concern (COC): radium, thorium, uranium, and uranium daughter products (actinium and protactinium).

The Work includes constructing the engineered cap over Areas A, B, and C and approximately 3 acres of other uncapped landfill of the Seaway Landfill and incidental related work. The purpose of the engineered cap is to minimize surface water infiltration, limit erosion of the cover over the landfill, limit exposure to landfill contents, and limit releases of liquids and gas in accordance with the Record of Decision (ROD) dated October 2009.

1.1.2 Location

The Work is located at the Seaway FUSRAP Site in Tonawanda, New York, approximately as indicated. The exact location is shown on Contract Drawings. It is the Contractor's responsibility to accurately locate the limits of all lands used under the contract.

1.2 EXISTING WORK

In addition to FAR 52.236-9 Protection of Existing Vegetation, Structures, Equipment, Utilities, and Improvements:

a. Remove or alter existing work in such a manner as to prevent injury or damage to any portions of the existing work which will remain.

b. Repair or replace portions of existing work which have been altered during construction operations to match existing or adjoining work, as approved by the Contracting Officer. At the completion of operations, existing work must be in a condition equal to or better than that which existed before new Work started.

1.3 LOCATION OF UNDERGROUND UTILITIES

Contact local utility locating service a minimum of 48 hours prior to excavating, to mark utilities, and within sufficient time required if work occurs on a Monday or after a holiday. Verify existing utility locations indicated on Contract Drawings, within area of Work.

1.3.1 Notification Prior to Excavation

Notify the Contracting Officer at least 7 calendar days prior to starting excavation work.

1.4 REAL ESTATE

1.4.1 Real Estate Rights

Rights for the use of the Government-furnished work area have been obtained and the general limits of the area are shown on the Contract Drawings. Copies of instruments conveying rights for use of the work area are available for inspection at the USACE, Buffalo District, 1776 Niagara Street, Buffalo, New York 14207-3199. Conformance to all applicable requirements of the instruments conveying rights is required. No other real estate rights have been obtained by the Government for this Project.

SECTION 01 11 00 Page 2

1.4.2 Additional Real Estate Rights

Any additional property agreements and/or real estate rights desired by the Contractor must be obtained by the Contractor at its own expense.

Such agreements must clearly relieve the Government of any responsibility for damages or liability resulting from the Contractor's use of such grounds. Contractor will provide the Government copies of all such additional property agreements.

a. Activities coded with a Government Responsibility code include, but are not limited to: Government approvals, Government design reviews, environmental permit approvals by State regulators, GFE and NTP for

SECTION 01 32 01.00 10 Page 4 phasing requirements.

b. Activities cannot have more than one Responsibility Code. Examples of acceptable activity code values are: DOR (for the designer of record);

ELEC (for the electrical subcontractor); MECH (for the mechanical subcontractor); and GOVT (for USACE).

3.3.6.3 Area of Work Coding (AREA)

Assign work area code to activities based upon the work area in which the activity occurs. Define work areas based on resource constraints or space constraints that would preclude a resource, such as a particular trade or craft work crew from working in more than one work area at a time due to restraints on resources or space. Examples of work area coding include different bench drains on the engineered cap. Activities cannot have more than one work area code.

Not all activities are required to be work area coded. A lack of Work area coding indicates the activity is not resource or space constrained.

3.3.6.4 Modification Number (MODF)

Assign a modification number code to any activity or sequence of activities added to the schedule as a result of Contract Modification, when approved by Contracting Officer. Key all code values to the Government's modification numbering system. An activity can have only one modification number code.

3.3.6.5 Bid Item Coding (BIDI)

Assign a bid item code to all activities using the contract line item (CLIN) schedule to which the activity belongs, even when an activity is not cost loaded. An activity can have only one BIDI code.

3.3.6.6 Phase of Work Coding (PHAS)

Assign phase of work code to all activities. Examples of phase of work are procurement phase and construction phase. Each activity can have only one phase of work code.

If the contract specifies phasing with separately defined performance periods, identify a phase code to allow filtering and organizing the schedule accordingly.

3.3.6.7 Category of Work (CATW) Coding

Assign a CATW code to all activities. CATW codes include, but are not limited to construction submittal, procurement, fabrication, weather-sensitive installation, non-weather sensitive installation, startup, and testing activities. Each activity can have no more than one category of work code.

3.3.6.8 Feature of Work Coding (FOW)

Assign an FOW code to appropriate activities based on the definable feature of work to which the activity belongs based on the approved QC plan.

Definable feature of work is defined in Section 01 45 00.00 10 QUALITY

SECTION 01 32 01.00 10 Page 5

CONTROL. An activity can have only one FOW code.

3.3.7 Contract Milestones and Constraints

Milestone activities are to be used for significant project events including, but not limited to, project phasing, project start and end activities, or interim completion dates. The use of artificial float constraints such as "zero free float" or "zero total float" are prohibited.

Mandatory constraints that ignore or effect network logic are prohibited.

No constrained dates are allowed in the schedule other than those specified herein. Submit additional constraints to the Contracting Officer for approval on a case-by-case basis.

3.3.7.1 Project Start Date Milestone and Constraint

The first activity in the project schedule must be a start milestone titled "NTP Acknowledged," which must have a "Start On" constraint date equal to the date that the NTP is acknowledged.

3.3.7.2 End Project Finish Milestone and Constraint

The last activity in the schedule must be a finish milestone titled "End Project."

Constrain the project schedule to the Contract Completion Date in such a way that if the schedule calculates an early finish, then the float calculation for "End Project" milestone reflects positive float on the longest path. If the project schedule calculates a late finish, then the "End Project" milestone float calculation reflects negative float on the longest path. The Government is under no obligation to accelerate Government activities to support a Contractor's early completion.

3.3.7.3 Interim Completion Dates and Constraints

Constrain contractually specified interim completion dates to show negative float when the calculated late finish date of the last activity in that phase is later than the specified interim completion date.

3.3.7.3.1 Start Phase

Use a start milestone as the first activity for a project phase. Call the start milestone "Start Phase X" where "X" refers to the phase of work.

3.3.7.3.2 End Phase

Use a finish milestone as the last activity for a project phase. Call the finish milestone "End Phase X" where "X" refers to the phase of work.

3.3.8 Calendars

Schedule activities on a calendar to which the activity logically belongs. Develop calendars to accommodate any contract defined work period such as a 7-day calendar for Government acceptance activities, concrete cure times, etc. Develop the default calendar to match the physical work plan with non-work periods identified including weekends and holidays. Develop seasonal calendar(s) and assign to seasonally affected activities as applicable.

SECTION 01 32 01.00 10 Page 6

If an activity is weather-sensitive it should be assigned to a calendar showing non-work days on a monthly basis, with the non-work days selected at random across the weeks of the calendar, using the anticipated adverse weather delay work days provided in the Special Contract Clauses. Assign non-work days over a 7-day week as weather records are compiled on 7-day weeks, which may cause some weather-related non-work days to fall on weekends .

3.3.9 Open-ended Logic

Only two open-ended activities are allowed: the first activity "NTP Acknowledged" may have no predecessor logic, and the last activity "End Project" may have no successor logic.

Predecessor open-ended logic may be allowed in a time impact analyses upon the Contracting Officer's approval.

3.3.10 Default Progress Data Disallowed

Actual start and finish dates must not automatically update with default mechanisms included in the scheduling software. Updating of the percent complete and the remaining duration of any activity must be independent functions. Disable program features that calculate one of these parameters from the other. Activity actual start (AS) and actual finish (AF) dates assigned during the updating process must match those dates provided in the Contractor QC reports. Failure to document the AS and AF dates in the daily QC report will result in disapproval of the Contractor's schedule.

3.3.11 Out-of-sequence Progress

Activities that have progressed before all preceding logic has been satisfied (out-of-sequence progress) will be allowed only on a case-by-case basis subject to approval by the Contracting Officer.

Propose logic corrections to eliminate out-of-sequence progress or justify not changing the sequencing for approval prior to submitting an updated project schedule. Address out-of-sequence progress or logic changes in the narrative report and in the periodic schedule update meetings.

3.3.12 Added and Deleted Activities

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

3.3.13 Original Durations

Activity original durations (OD) must be reasonable to perform the work item. OD changes are prohibited unless justification is provided and approved by the Contracting Officer.

3.3.14 Leads, Lags, and Start to Finish Relationships

Lags must be reasonable as determined by the Government and not used in place of realistic original durations, must not be in place to artificially absorb float, or to replace proper schedule logic.

SECTION 01 32 01.00 10 Page 7

a. Leads (negative lags) are prohibited.

b. Start to finish (SF) relationships are prohibited.

3.3.15 Retained Logic

Schedule calculations must retain the logic between predecessors and successors ("retained logic" mode) even when the successor activity(s) starts and the predecessor activity(s) has not finished (out-of-sequence progress). Software features that in effect sever the tie between predecessor and successor activities when the successor has started and the predecessor logic is not satisfied ("progress override") are not to be allowed.

3.3.16 Percent Complete

Update the percent complete for each activity started, based on the realistic assessment of earned value. Activities which are complete but for remaining minor punchlist work and which do not restrain the initiation of successor activities may be declared 100 percent complete to allow for proper schedule management.

3.3.17 Remaining Duration

Update the remaining duration for each activity based on the number of estimated work days it will take to complete the activity. Remaining duration may not mathematically correlate with percentage found under paragraph entitled Percent Complete.

3.3.18 Cost Loading of Closeout Activities

If there is no separate CLIN for O&M manuals, cost load the "Correction of punchlist from Government pre-final inspection" activity(ies) not less than 1 percent of the present contract value. Activity(ies) may be declared 100 percent complete upon the Government's verification of completion and correction of all punch list work identified during Government pre-final inspection(s).

3.3.18.1 As-built Drawings

If there is no separate CLIN for as-built drawings, cost load the "Submission and approval of as-built drawings" activity not less than $35,000 or 1 percent of the present contract value, whichever is greater, up to $200,000. Activity will be declared 100 percent complete upon the Government's approval.

3.3.18.2 O&M Manuals

If there is no separate CLIN for O&M manuals, cost load the "Submission and approval of O&M manuals" activity not less than $20,000. Activity will be declared 100 percent complete upon the Government's approval of all O&M manuals.

3.3.19 Early Completion Schedule and the Right to Finish Early

An early completion schedule is an initial project schedule (IPS) that indicates all scope of the required contract work will be completed before the contractually required completion date.

SECTION 01 32 01.00 10 Page 8

a. No IPS indicating an Early completion will be accepted without being fully resource-loaded (including crew sizes and manhours) and the Government agreeing that the schedule is reasonable and achievable.

b. The Government is under no obligation to accelerate work items it is responsible for to ensure that the early completion is met nor is it responsible to modify incremental funding (if applicable) for the Project to meet the Contractor's accelerated work.

3.4 PROJECT SCHEDULE SUBMISSIONS

Provide the submissions as described below. The data CD/DVD, high-capacity portable USB flash drive, reports, and network diagrams required for each submission are contained in paragraph SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS. If the Contractor fails or refuses to furnish the information and schedule updates as set forth herein, then the Contractor will be deemed not to have provided an estimate upon which a progress payment can be made.

Review comments made by the Government on the schedule(s) do not relieve the Contractor from compliance with requirements of the Contract Documents.

3.4.1 Preliminary Project Schedule Submission

Within 15 calendar days after the NTP is acknowledged submit the Preliminary Project Schedule defining the planned operations detailed for the first 90 calendar days for approval. The approved preliminary project schedule will be used for payment purposes not to exceed 90 calendar days after NTP. Completely cost load the preliminary project schedule to balance contract award CLINs shown on the price schedule. The preliminary project schedule may be summary in nature for the remaining performance period. It must be early start and late finish constrained and logically tied as specified. The preliminary project schedule forms the basis for the initial project schedule specified herein and must include all of the required plan and program preparations, submissions and approvals identified in the contract (for example, QC plan, safety plan, and environmental protection plan) as well as design activities, planned submissions of all early design packages, permitting activities, design review conference activities, and other non-construction activities intended to occur within the first 90 calendar days. Government acceptance of the associated design package(s) and all other specified program and plan approvals must occur prior to any planned construction activities. Activity code any activities that are summary in nature after the first 90 calendar days with bid item (CLIN) code (BIDI), responsibility code (RESP) and feature of work (FOW) code.

3.4.2 Initial Project Schedule Submission

Submit the Initial Project Schedule for approval within 42 calendar days after notice to proceed is issued. The schedule must demonstrate a reasonable and realistic sequence of activities which represent all work through the entire contract performance period. No payment will be made for work items not fully detailed in the project schedule.

3.4.3 Periodic Schedule Updates

Update the project schedule on a regular basis, weekly at a minimum.

Provide a draft periodic schedule update for review at the schedule update meetings as prescribed in the paragraph PERIODIC SCHEDULE UPDATE

SECTION 01 32 01.00 10 Page 9

MEETINGS. These updates will enable the Government to assess Contractor's progress.

a. Update information including actual start dates (AS), actual finish dates (AF), remaining durations (RD), and percent complete is subject to the approval of the Government at the meeting.

b. AS and AF dates must match the date(s) reported on the Contractor's QC report for an activity start or finish.

3.5 SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
