11. (SCR-101) DAMAGE TO WORK:

The responsibility for damage to any part of the permanent work shall be as set forth in the clause of the contract entitled “Permits and Responsibilities”. However, if, in the judgment of the Contracting Officer, any part of the permanent work performed by the Contractor is damaged by flood or earthquake, which damage is not due to the failure of the Contractor to take reasonable precautions or to exercise sound engineering and construction practices in the conduct of the work, the Contractor shall make the repairs as ordered by the Contracting Officer and full compensation for such repairs will be made at the applicable contract unit or lump sum prices as fixed and established in the contract. If, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, there are no contract unit or lump sum prices applicable to any part of such work an equitable adjustment pursuant to Clause, “Changes”, of the contract, will be made as full compensation for the repairs of that part of the permanent work for which there are no applicable contract unit or lump sum prices. Except, as herein provided, damage to all work (including temporary construction), utilities, materials, equipment and plant shall be repaired to the satisfaction of the Contracting Officer at the Contractor’s expense, regardless of the cause of such damage.

12. (SCR-104) CONTINUITY OF WORK:

No payment will be made for work done in any area designated by the Contracting Officer until the full depth required under the contract is secured in the whole or such area, unless prevented by ledge rock, nor will payment be made for excavation in any area not adjacent to and in prolongation of areas where full depth has been secured except by decision of the Contracting Officer. Should any such nonadjacent area be excavated to full depth during the operations carried on under the contract, payment for all work therein may be deferred until the required depth has been made in the area intervening. The Contractor may be required to suspend dredging at any time when for any reason the gages or ranges cannot be seen or properly followed.

13. (SCR-113) ENVIRONMENTAL LITIGATION:

A. If the performance of all or part of the work is suspended, delayed, or interrupted due to an order of a court of competent jurisdiction as a result of environmental litigation, as defined below, the Contracting Officer, at the request of the Contractor, shall determine whether the order is due in any part to the acts or omissions of the Contractor or subcontractor at any tier not required by the terms of this contract.

If it is determined that the order is not due in any part to acts or omissions of the Contractor or a subcontractor at any tier other than as required by the terms of this contract, such suspension, delay, or interruption shall be considered as if ordered by the Contracting Officer in the administration of this contract under the terms of the “Suspension of Work” clause of this contract. The period of such suspension, delay or interruption shall be considered unreasonable, and an adjustment shall be made for any increase in the cost of performance of this contract (excluding profit) as provided in that clause, subject to all the provisions thereof.

00 73 00-5

PART 2 PRODUCTS - NOT USED

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 COORDINATION WITH OTHERS

3.1.1 Traffic

Dredging may be interrupted by vessels maneuvering or moored anywhere within the dredging limits. The Contractor shall keep advised of vessel arrivals and departures and conduct operations so that interference with vessels will not occur. The Contractor's operations shall allow access to and from the Port at all times. All dredging activities, with special emphasis placed upon those dredging activities near the face of the Port and P.O.L. terminal docks, shall be coordinated with the Port of Anchorage Operations Manager at (907) 343-6200. The Contractor shall also coordinate with the Port of Anchorage Operations Manager in the unlikely event that it becomes necessary to have vessels moved out of the way of dredging operations. Pursuant to Contract Clause OTHER CONTRACTS (FAR 52.236-008) of this contract, the Contractor may be required to work in close proximity to another contractor and share the same disposal site. In the event that multiple contractors are required to work within the project limits, work areas for each contractor will be coordinated with the Contracting Officer's Representative and the Port of Anchorage Operations Manager at the required weekly coordination meetings.

3.2 SURVEYS

Surveys shall be performed through the use of an independent certified hydrographic surveyor for the basic requirement and option year 2009 (if awarded). The independent certified hydrographic surveyor shall perform pre-dredge, intermediate, and post-dredge surveys. Actual area(s) dredged between successive surveys shall be shown on each successive survey for

SECTION 01 19 40.00 29 Page 5 each type of dredging equipment, as appropriate. Surveys are to be performed on days when ship traffic at the dock face is minimal in order to provide maximum coverage of the project area. Coordination with the Port Operations Manager, the Contractor Officer's Representative, and any other hydrographic survey vessels operating within the Survey Limits is essential. All surveys shall have soundings taken at 100 foot intervals perpendicular to the project baseline and shall be recorded and legibly plotted across the entire survey limits as shown on the contract drawings;

1.2 MEASUREMENT

1.2.1 Job, Each, or Day

Items measured as a "Job", "Each" (EA), or "Day" will be measured for payment as a complete item.

1.2.2 Cubic Yard (CY)

Measurement for clamshell dredging shall be accomplished by calculating the net volume of material removed from within the dredging prism as calculated by "Barge Count" below. Measurement for cutter head and hopper dredging shall be accomplished by calculating the net volume of material removed from within the dredging prism as calculated by "Hopper Dredge" and "Cutter Head" below. Over-dredging shall be calculated by computing by comparing successive hydrographic surveys and calculating the net volume of material removed as specified in Section 01 19 40.00 - SPECIAL ITEMS and by "Hopper Dredge" below. Such hydrographic surveys shall be used to supplement barge counts and hopper dredging as specified below. Partial payments for all dredging shall be adjusted to deduct any quantities removed below the maximum pay line or outside the dredging prism as shown on the contract drawings and as determined from hydrographic surveys.

1.2.3 Barge Count

Prior to commencement of any clamshell dredging, the Contractor shall furnish the dimensions, weight, and volume displacement charts for each of the barges or scows to be used on the project. Displacement charts shall be certified by a registered engineer, marine surveyor, or naval architect.

The volume of material placed in hoppers or scows for transport to the disposal site will be calculated. For converting scow or barge displacement to tonnage, salt- water density will be taken as 64.0 pounds per cubic foot. Tonnage will then be converted to volume by using a sediment density factor. The density factor shall be calculated by the Contractor by

SECTION 01 22 00.00 10 Page 2 weighing a sediment sample taken from a full barge or scow. All sampling, weighing, and calculations related to the density factor shall be performed in the presence of the Contracting Officer's Representative. The sediment density factor shall be recalculated by the Contractor whenever the material changes or upon request of the Contracting Officer's Representative. All calculations are subject to approval by the Contracting Officer's Representative. All barges and dumping vessels shall have staff gauges for measuring vessel displacement, placed and mounted in positions approved by the Contracting Officer. All dumping vessels shall be loaded as evenly as possible to obtain uniform distribution of the dredged material.

An adjustment in volume will be made to compensate for water trapped in a dumping vessel. If any material remains in the dumping vessel upon its return from the disposal site, displacement measurements will be taken prior to reloading, and an adjustment will be made to the next disposal measurement.

1.2.4 Hopper Dredge

Hopper dredging shall be accomplished as follows, with reference to the attachments at the end of this Section:

The Contractor shall provide the following quantity computations of all dredged materials by the average-end-area method on 25 foot spaces.

(1) For each survey interval compute the quantity available to Project Depth, the Required Depth, and Maximum Payline for each designated survey area, including the north and south side slopes.

(2) Find the actual Cut and Fill quantities by doing a survey to survey computation for each survey interval.

(3) Compute the quantity removed by the Hopper Dredge by confining computations to the area covered by the Hopper for each survey interval.

(4) Compute the over dredging for the hopper by comparing the difference of Fill quantity to the Maximum Payline for each survey in their respective intervals. The area for over-dredging is defined by item (3) above.

(5) Shoaling is computed by taking the Maximum Pay Quantity available on the previous survey, subtracting the Maximum Pay Quantity available on the current survey. That quantity is then subtracted from the difference in the raw quantity removed by the Hopper dredge for that interval. This number is the total shoaled amount. The total shoaled amount is multiplied by the ratio of the area covered by the hopper over the area designated for dredging for each interval. The contour for the Maximum Pay depth is used to define the outer limit for both the hopper dredge area and the designated dredge area. A sample computation is attached.

All quantity computations and electronic versions of each survey shall be furnished to the Contracting Officer within four (4) days after the completion of any survey. The preliminary electronic point files (COGO format), used for quantity computations, shall be submitted with the electronic copies of each survey.
