Any unbalanced items as between early and late payment items or other discrepancies will be revised by the Contracting Officer to agree with a reasonable cost of the work included in the various items. This Contract cost breakdown will then be utilized as the basis for progress payments to the Contractor.

1.2 SUBMITTALS

Government approval is required for submittals with a "G" designation;

submittals not having a "G" designation are for information only. When used, a designation following the "G" designation identifies the office that will review the submittal for the Government. The following shall be submitted in accordance with Section 01 33 00 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES:

SD-05 Design Data

Quantity Surveys

Submit originals of all field notes and all other records relating to the quantity surveys.

SECTION 01 22 00 Page 2

1.5 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. Any bid price for items indicated in the BIDDING SCHEDULE which are unbalanced as to price may be rejected as non-responsive. An unbalanced bid is one which is based on price significantly less than cost for some work and price which is significantly overstated for other work.

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, "Dredging and Disposal of Material at the Central Long Island Sound Disposal Site (CLDS)".

The contract price per cubic yard for Payment Item Number 0002 shall include all costs for the removal, to the specified depths as indicated on the contract drawings, of all dredged materials encountered in the Federal Navigation Project of Hew Haven Harbor and transporting to and disposal of the dredged material at the Central Long Island Sound Disposal Site (CLDS) 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 Government specification or 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, Subpart DREDGING LIMITS, less any deductions that may be required for material removed beyond these limits as described in Subpart "Excessive Dredging".

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.

SECTION 01 22 00 Page 3

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.

No separate measurement or payment will be made for the removal of debris during dredging operations as specified in Section 35 20 23 MECHANICAL DREDGING, Subpart DEBRIS MANAGEMENT.

Unit of Measure: Cubic Yard (CD).
