No claims for extras shall be made on account of items presumed to have been omitted from this section.

1.2 CONSTRUCTION RIGHT-OF-WAY

The Contractor will be assigned working areas or working right-of-way limits for use in the prosecution of work under this contract, subject to the SECTION 00 72 00, GENERAL CONDITIONS (CONTRACT CLAUSES) clause entitled "Operations and Storage Areas."

1.3 PROTECTION OF EXISTING FACILITIES AND WORKS

The Contractor shall be responsible for the protection of the work area from damage and upon completion of the work shall leave existing works in a condition equal to that which existed when the work started. All work, storage of materials, and construction plant shall be kept within the limits of the areas assigned. Prior to construction operations, the Contractor shall confer with the Contracting Officer's representative to determine the proximity of any possible under-ground obstructions, pipe or equipment which could be damaged as a result of construction operations.

Existing utility lines that are shown on the drawings or the locations are otherwise made known to the Contractor shall be protected from damage, and if damaged, shall be repaired by the Contractor at no additional expense to the Government. In the event that the Contractor damages any existing utility lines that are not shown or the locations of which have not been made known to the Contractor, the Contractor shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer will review the information and discuss with the Contractor how to proceed. The Contractor will be responsible for the protection of structures from any structural damage during the construction operations. Roads and surfaces shall be protected from damage by the work or if damaged shall be repaired with equal materials at no additional expense to the Government. At all times the plant and work areas shall be kept in a condition conducive to safety of workmen and the public and neat in appearance. Waste or surplus materials shall not be allowed to accumulate in the construction areas.

1.4 CARE OF WATER

Full responsibility for care of water shall be borne by the Contractor until completion of work under this contract. The Contractor shall provide the materials and equipment and perform all work necessary to facilitate construction and to protect the work from damage by water. The Contractor

SECTION 01 12 00 Page 2 shall make the needed investigations and determinations of conditions, both existing and anticipated concerning care of water. Plans for care of water are subject to approval by the Contracting Officer prior to construction. Facilities shall be removed upon completion of the work.

1.5 Project Survey and Layout

In addition to the requirements of FAR 52.236-17 Layout of Work, the Contractor shall provide a licensed land surveyor to check initial project control, and to provide and set hubs for project construction. The Contractor shall use (and reference in all as-built data) project stationing as described on the contract drawings. In addition, a licensed surveyor shall provide final project survey. These surveys shall provide and verify both horizontal and vertical project control. This survey shall be used for final as-built profile and cross section and recorded on the as-built condition in accordance with Section, As-Built Drawings.

The Contractor may utilize their own quality control personnel to provide interim surveys for quantity determination for payment in accordance with paragraph entitled Quantity Surveys (Apr 1984).

1.6 DISPOSITION OF CONSTRUCTION FACILITIES

Access roads as required for the prosecution of the work shall be maintained (including sprinkling for dust control, safety of personnel, and traffic control) within the work areas assigned to the Contractor.

Consideration shall be given to the avoidance of interference with others, safety and frequency of traffic, subject to review and approval prior to construction. Access road areas shall be restored to their original or suitable condition upon completion of this contract. The Contractor shall be responsible for repair of damage to existing roads caused by the Contractor's operation.

1.7.2 Haul Roads

The Contractor shall construct haul roads as may be necessary for the conduct of the work without additional cost to the Government. The Contractor shall arrange the hauling operations so as to cause a minimum interference with traffic and shall develop Temporary Traffic Control (TTC) plan(s) and furnish all necessary traffic control devices and personnel as required to avoid additional hazards to the public. The Contractor shall perform routine day and night inspections of TTC elements as required by MUTCD and maintain all furnished traffic control devices at their expense and without additional cost to the Government. Lines, grades and widths for haul roads, shall be selected to fulfill the requirements for safe and efficient hauling operations and shall be approved by the Contracting Officer prior to construction. Haul roads shall have ample width to

SECTION 01 12 00 Page 3 provide safety. Preference shall be given to one-way haul roads when these are feasible. All roads shall be maintained in original as-built condition during all periods of their use. Roads shall be sprinkled whenever, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, control of dust is necessary to insure safe movements of construction traffic. Upon completion of work under this contract, roads shall be disposed of as directed by the Contracting Officer. All traffic control devices, culverts, guards, fences and other improvements on roads constructed for the Contractor's convenience and operations shall be removed from the project site and shall remain property of the Contractor.

1.8.1 State and Federal Highways

Where the Contractor hauls across or on State or Federal highways, the Contractor shall enter into all agreements with the State Highway Commission and shall comply with any restrictions they may impose relative to load limits, care of traffic and cleanup.

The work includes all material, equipment, and labor necessary to mechanically excavate to the lines and grades shown and dispose of the same material as shown on the contract drawings.

1.1.2 Measurement

Cubic Yard.

The volume of excavated material will be determined by computer aided triangulation method taken from pre and post quantity surveys. No payment will be made for excavation beyond the design elevations and limits. Cut and fill volumes will be derived from these surveys using acceptable software consisting of Bentley OpenRoads V2002R2 or greater, or a COR approved equivalent. A digital terrain model of the surveys shall be created by the Contractor using the software. Volumes will be computed using the software's digital terrain model triangulated computation method with all cut and fill factors set at "1.000".

1.21 PROFIT

a. Use the weighted guidelines method of determining profit on any equitable adjustment change order or modification issued under this contract. The profit factors must be as follows:

Factor Rate Weight Value Degree of Risk 20 See Item Relative difficulty of work 15 b. below Size of Job 15 Period of performance 15 Contractor's investment 5 Assistance by Government 5 Subcontracting 25

b. Based on the circumstances of each procurement action, each of the above factors must be weighted from .03 to .12 as indicated below. Obtain the value by multiplying the rate by the weight. The value column when totaled indicates the fair and reasonable profit percentage under the circumstances of the particular procurement.

(1) Degree of Risk. Where the work involves no risk or the degree of risk is very small, the weighting should be .03; as the degree of risk increases, the weighting should be increased up to a maximum of .12. Lump sum items will have, generally, a higher weighted value than the unit price items for which quantities are provided. Other things to consider: the portion of the work to be done by subcontractors, nature of work, where work is to be performed, reasonableness of negotiated costs, amount of labor included in costs, and whether the negotiation is before or after performance of work.

(2) Relative Difficulty of Work. If the work is most difficult and complex, the weighting should be .12 and should be proportionately reduced to .03 on the simplest of jobs. This factor is tied in to some extent with the degree of risk. Some things to consider: the nature of the work, by whom it is to be done, where, and what is the time schedule.

(3) Size of Job. All work not in excess of $100,000 shall be weighted at .12. Work estimated between $100,000 and $5,000,000 shall be proportionately weighted from .12 to .05.

(4) Periods of Performance. Jobs in excess of 24 months are to be weighted at .12.
