The job price and payment made for each item listed shall constitute full compensation for furnishing all plant, labor, materials, and equipment, and performing any associated Contractor quality control, environmental protection, meeting safety requirements, tests and reports, and for performing all work required for which separate payment is not otherwise provided.

1.2 UNIT PRICE PAYMENT ITEMS

Payment items for the work of this contract on which the contract unit price payments will be made are listed in the BIDDING SCHEDULE and described below. The unit price and payment made for each item listed shall constitute full compensation for furnishing all plant, labor, materials, and equipment, and performing any associated Contractor quality control, environmental protection, meeting safety requirements, tests and reports, and for performing all work required for each of the unit price items.

1.3 BIDDING SCHEDULE - PAYMENT ITEMS

Payment items for the work of this contract on which the contract progress payments will be based are listed in the BIDDING SCHEDULE and are described below. All costs for items of work, which are not specifically mentioned to be included in a particular Bidding Schedule job or unit price payment item, shall be included in the listed job or unit price item most closely associated with the work involved.

Base Bid Items

a. Item Number 0001, "Mobilization and Demobilization for Dredging and Disposal

Payment will be made for costs associated with mobilization and demobilization for dredging operations and disposal operations as defined in Special Contract Requirements clause "PAYMENT FOR

MOBILIZATION AND DEMOBILIZATION".

Unit of measure: Job.

b. Item Number 0002, "Improvement Dredging with Ocean Disposal at Portland Disposal Site".

The contract price per cubic yard for Payment Item Number 0002 shall

SECTION 01 22 00 Page 2 include all costs for the removal, to the specified depths as indicated on the Contract Drawings, of mechanically dredged materials encountered from the new Federal Navigation Project (FNP) which includes the 10-foot deep channel, 10-foot deep turning area, and an 8-foot deep turning basin, to include all costs associated with the transportation and disposal of the dredged material at the designated ocean disposal site, as specified in Section 35 20 23 MECHANICAL

DREDGING.

The total amount of material removed and paid for under the contract for this Item will be measured by the cubic yard in place by computing the volume between the bottom surface shown by soundings of the last pre-dredge survey made before dredging begins and the bottom surface shown by the soundings of an after-dredge survey made as soon as practicable after the removal of the material. Dredged material will be included that is within the limits of the side slopes and specified overdepths as described in Section 35 20 23 MECHANICAL DREDGING, paragraph "Dredging Limits", less any deductions that may be required for misplaced material described in subparagraph "Disposal In Non-Approved Areas".

The contract drawings are believed to accurately represent conditions existing on the date of the survey shown on the drawings, but the depths and the specific areas to be dredged shown thereon may be verified and corrected by soundings taken by the Government before dredging begins. Determination of quantities removed and the deductions made to determine quantities after having once been made by the Contracting Officer, will not be reopened, except on evidence of collusion, fraud, or obvious error. Refer to Special Contract Requirements, subpart "Contract Drawings and Specifications" for additional information and requirements regarding contract drawings.

Monthly partial payments will be based on approximate quantities determined by Contractor quality control surveys. The pre-dredge survey made immediately before dredging, and the after dredge survey made as soon as practicable after the removal of the material, will be performed by the Government at no cost to the Contractor.

Unit of measure: Cubic Yard (CD).

Option Bid Item

c. Item Number 0003, "Boulder Removal and Disposal".

All costs for labor, equipment, and materials necessary for the removal of each boulder encountered during dredging operations that is 2 feet by 2 feet by 2 feet in size or larger, to include the transportation, and disposal of each boulder offsite (also refer to Note 8 on sheet C-101). Disposal of boulders of this size and larger is allowed at Portland Disosal Site (PDS) under this contract.

The Contractor may choose an alternate upland disposal site of its choosing for boulder disposal under this bid item if the Contractor finds that upland disposal is more economical or feasible with the Contractor's intended means and methods, and equipment. The Contractor shall be responsible for paying any and all necessary tipping/disposal, transportation, and permit fees, as well as acquiring any necessary permits required for transportation to and disposal at the selected alternate disposal location.

SECTION 01 22 00 Page 3

Boulders encountered that are smaller than 2 feet by 2 feet by 2 feet in size shall be considered debris and shall be incidental to the work paid for under Item Number 0002, that includes disposal of boulders smaller than 2 feet by 2 feet by 2 feet at the Portland Disosal Site

(PDS).

Unit of Measure: EA.
