1.8 CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCING

A. General - Construction activities shall be scheduled and sequenced to ensure continuous operation of the existing facilities. The CONTRACTOR's scheduling shall develop construction sequencing so that the WORK will not adversely impact conveyance capacity. The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for development of the construction sequencing. In implementing the construction sequencing, the CONTRACTOR shall maintain the existing facilities in service until new facilities are constructed and are operational to supplement the existing capacity. All WORK shall be conducted in accordance with Reclamation Safety and Health Standards;

available online at https://www.usbr.gov/safety/rshs/index.html. When new facilities are operational, the existing facilities may be taken out of service.

B. Specific Sequencing - At a minimum, the CONTRACTOR’s sequencing plan must address the following conditions and constraints. The sequencing plan shall include a detailed earthwork plan along with steps required to make canal turnout connections without unplanned interruption to deliveries. To the extent it exists, earthwork data will be made available to the bidders for use in planning the WORK.

1. Earthwork.

FKC MIDDLE REACH CAPACITY CORRECTION PROJECT PHASE 1 PAGE 01 14 00 - 7

a. Borrow material is needed for construction of the canal embankments for the new parallel canal portion of the project. There are two available sources of borrow, (1) TBID borrow site and (2) the material in the existing canal embankments.

b. Reliance solely on the TBID borrow site would reduce complex sequencing efforts but would require more material hauling as compared to use of both sources.

c. The use of the existing canal embankment material would reduce the material hauling effort, but will create complex sequencing efforts. As shown on Drawing GC-8 the existing canal bank material has been divided into three zones:

1) Outside Bank Zone 1 (Identified as Keynote I on Drawing GC-8):

Regardless of the borrow source, the CONTRACTOR shall rework a portion of the outside slope of the existing canal’s left embankment to achieve the required compaction for the new canal right embankment.

2) Outside Bank Zone 2 (Identified as Keynote E on Drawing GC-8): The outside portions of the existing canal left and right bank. This zone of the existing canal bank material can be used as borrow anytime including while the existing canal is in operation.

3) Inside Bank Zone (Identified as Keynote C on Drawing GC-8): Portion of the existing canal banks consisting of the upper part of the existing canal lining and existing canal bank with a minimum 14-foot top width and 1.5:1 outside slope. This zone must be protected in place during excavation of the Outside Bank Zone 1 and 2 material and while the existing canal remains operation.

If the Contractor chooses to use the remaining Inside Bank Zone material as borrow, it will require the existing canal flows (for the segment of interest) to be transferred to the new canal prior to commencing with excavation of this material. Prior to placing the partially completed new canal in service, the following minimum requirements must be met:

a) The new parallel canal earthen embankments must be completed to the top of the concrete canal lining and have a minimum completed top width of 20 feet.

b) New parallel canal concrete canal lining must be completed

c) Inline canal structures must be completed and operational

d) Canal turnouts must be completed to the point that there are no interruptions of deliveries following the cutover

2. Turnout pipelines for deliveries to the west side (canal right side) of the existing canal.

FKC MIDDLE REACH CAPACITY CORRECTION PROJECT PHASE 1 PAGE 01 14 00 - 8

a. Construction of the canal turnout pipelines shown to be installed beneath the existing canal must be sequenced to occur during wintertime shutdowns. Due to the extent of this WORK, it is assumed some or most of it must be constructed ahead of the final canal outage for the tie-in.

3. Tie-Ins.

a. All tie-ins will be constructed during canal outages. However, planned canal outages are limited to the specific winter months listed in Section 01 14 00 – Construction Sequencing and Constraints, paragraph 1.10.C.4.

b. If at any point during construction prior to the November 30, 2023 milestone date stated in Section H, it becomes apparent (based on the progress of the work and the Contractor’s approved schedule) that the canal tie-ins will not be made during the canal outage period, then the tie-ins shall be constructed “in the wet” (i.e. no interruptions to water deliveries). There shall be no canal outage period beyond January 26, 2024. If determined to be necessary, the Contractor shall submit wet tie-in plans for review and approval, using a canal flow capacity of 2,000 cfs.
