PART 1 – GENERAL

ITEM 1 - DESCRIPTION OF WORK

1.1 Background: The historic stone arch culvert under the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath trail is hydraulically undersized and stream flows frequently overtop the trail embankment damaging the surfacing and increasing maintenance. Scour erosion is occurring at each end of the upstream headwall of the historic culvert causing instability and displacing stones.

1.2 Work Covered by the Contract Documents:

A. Project Location: Cuyahoga Valley National Park, 1175 W Highland Road Sagamore, OH

44067, Summit County, OH. Supplemental Box Culvert adjacent to existing historic stone arch culvert for the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail over Brandywine Creek, approximately 1,320

FT south of Vaughn/West Highland Road (Highway 111).

1. Work consists of: Renovation of the Brandywine Creek Historic Culvert including the installation of a new culvert constructed adjacent to the existing historic culvert and of sufficient size and length to accommodate approximately 150% of Brandywine Creek’s flows. The creek channel will be regraded upstream and downstream to a very limited extent so that most of the Creek’s flow passes through the new culvert to the extent possible within limited channel design and construction (and hydraulic analysis) and limited construction grading.

B. All work will be performed under a single contract.

b. weight limits, and

c. frequent inspections by the NPS PC/On-Site Representative.

CUVA - 247361 01 10 00 - 5

Q. Damage to Towpath, Historic Culvert, and Access Road: The execution of the Project will involve travel of large heavy equipment along the Site access road, the Towpath and across the historic culvert above Brandywine Creek. In the course of the project, damage or suspected damage may occur to the access road, the Towpath, or the historic culvert. Contingency planning for damage to the access road, Towpath, or historic culvert includes the following.

1. The NPS On-Site Representative shall be notified immediately if damage to the access road, Towpath, or historic culvert is observed or suspected. The NPS On-Site

Representative will conduct a walk along the access road, Towpath and historic culvert looking for signs of damage on a weekly basis during the construction activities or after heavy traffic days.

2. NPS will be responsible for assessing and documenting the situation. If the NPS On-Site

Representative determines that additional technical support is required to assess the damage, the technical resource will be obtained (e.g., damage to the culvert would likely require engineering support). Documentation will include interviews with those involved and photo documentation of the suspected damage. The event will be documented in the daily report, at a minimum.

3. Depending on the scope of the damage, repairs will be made in a timeframe commensurate with the degree of damage and planning required for mitigation.

4. A root cause analysis review will be performed to determine the cause of the damage.

E.g., was the equipment or truck too heavy for the road, culvert, or path? If so, can a different piece of equipment be used that is lighter or do the trucks need to carry less weight? Were traffic controls ineffective or not followed? Were Site conditions, such as weather, a factor?

5. Once the root cause is understood, corrective measures will be employed to avoid similar incidents.

3.7 Housekeeping:

A. Keep project neat, orderly, and in a safe condition at all times.

a. Dispose of waste materials and recycling legally outside the park. The contractor shall not use park dumpsters

1) Address Recycling: Government goal is to salvage and recycle as much nonhazardous construction waste as possible. Use sustainable methods to extent possible during this project, recycling material as is probable with local means.

1.3 GENERAL PROVISIONS ON UNIT PRICES AND QUANTITIES

A. Quantities:

1. Quantities of Unit Price Work indicated in the Bid Form and in the Contract (at the time the Agreement was signed by the parties) are estimates for purposes of pricing and comparison of Bids.

2. Owner does not represent, either expressly or by implication, or agree that the nature of materials encountered below ground surface or in concealed areas, or actual quantities of

Unit Price Work required, will correspond with the quantities in the Contract at the time the Agreement was signed by the parties. Owner reserves the right to increase or decrease quantities, and to eliminate quantities, as Owner may deem necessary or as may be necessary due to Site conditions encountered.

3. Adjustment of Unit Prices Due to Variation in Quantities:

a. Provisions, if any, regarding adjustment of unit prices due to variations in actual quantities (eligible for payment) from the estimated quantities in the Contract

(including quantities at the time the Agreement was signed by the parties and as subsequently modified by Change Order) are in the General Conditions, as may be modified by the Supplementary Conditions.

1) Owner’s review for possible unit price adjustment, when provision for such adjustment is expressly indicated in the Contract, will be at a time Owner deems reasonable and proper.

2) When the Supplementary Conditions establish that, to be eligible for an adjustment in the unit price, a pay item of Unit Price Work must have a total computed, extended price (at the time the Agreement was signed by the parties) equal to or greater than a specified percentage (stipulated in the

Supplementary Conditions) of the total Contract Price (at the time the

Agreement was signed by the parties), and the total extended price of such pay item does not exceed the stipulated percentage of the Contract Price, then the associated pay item will be paid at the unit price in the Contract without adjustment for variations in actual quantity.

CUVA - 247361 01 22 00 - 4

4. Quantities eligible for payment will be actual quantities furnished and installed (as applicable) in accordance with the Contract Documents, within the pay limits shown or indicated, as measured by Owner (or other entity so empowered in the Contract

Documents) and recommended for payment by Owner.

5. At Contractor’s expense, Contractor may independently verify quantities measured by

Owner for payment. Should Contractor disagree with quantities measured and recommended for payment by Owner, submit appropriate Change Proposal (appealing

Owner’s measurements) indicating the specific reasons for Contractor’s appeal, with detailed reasons therefor and associated calculations and estimates, in accordance with the Contract Documents.

6. Quantity Overruns:

a. When the quantity of a pay item of Unit Price Work eligible for payment exceeds the pay item’s quantity included in the Contract, Owner will pay for quantities that exceed those in the Contract only while the estimated total payments to Contractor under the Contract will not exceed the Contract Price. Otherwise, a Change Order is required to modify the associated quantity in the Contract, thus changing the

Contract Price.

7. Except as may be established elsewhere in the Contract Documents, make no claim for anticipated profit, loss of profit, damages, or additional compensation arising from difference between quantities of Unit Price Work eligible for payment and the estimated quantities in the Contract.

B. Measuring for Payment:

Work eligible for payment will be rounded to the nearest whole number.

3. In the event of conflict between this Section and the measurement criteria in the

Specifications of Divisions 02-49, the measurement criteria in this Section will govern.

Typical intent when measurement criteria are in both this Section and the associated

Division 02-49 Specifications section, is for the criteria to be interpreted together.

4. Assistance with Measurements:

a. Assist Contracting Officer (CO), by providing measuring equipment, labor, and survey personnel necessary to measure quantities eligible for payment.

5. Quantities eligible for payment can be adjusted by Owner to correct quantities included in Contractor’s prior payment requests, and for incomplete or defective Unit Price Work.

Contract Documents.
