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 with other contractors 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 Base requirement and option years 2010 and 2011 (if awarded). The independent certified hydrographic surveyor shall perform pre-dredge, intermediate, acceptance, and post-dredge surveys.

Actual area(s) dredged between successive surveys shall be shown on each successive survey for each type of dredging equipment. 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 required. All surveys shall be multi-beam and shall be recorded and legibly plotted across the entire survey limits as shown on the contract drawings.

Care shall be taken to show the highest soundings, that is, those with the least depth, on the final drawings.

A pre-dredge survey of the entire survey limits shown on the contract drawings, shall be performed prior to the start of dredging. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing of its intent to perform a pre-dredge survey at least 10 days in advance.

Intermediate surveys shall generally be performed every Wednesday of each week following the pre-dredge survey and going through October 31 of the base year and option years (if awarded). During any hopper dredging operations, intermediate surveys shall also be performed on Mondays and Fridays for payment purposes. Intermediate may be re-scheduled, as needed, from the specified weekly sequence to accurately reflect final dredging conditions.

Acceptance surveys shall be performed as needed by the Contractor following the pre-dredge survey each year and going through October 31 of the base year

SECTION 01 19 40.00 29 Page 7 and option years (if awarded). Acceptance surveys apply only to transitional dredging of virgin materials.

The Post-dredge survey for each year awarded shall be performed within 1 day following completion of final dredging to verify final dredging results for the dredging season. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing of its intent to perform any post-dredge survey at least 3 days in advance. If the results of any post-dredge survey indicate that the specified project depth has not been achieved for any part of the project, dredging shall resume until the condition has been corrected and the post-dredge survey shall be repeated at no additional cost to the Government. This process shall continue until the specified project depth has been achieved.

3.2.1 Equipment and Survey Plan

The Contractor shall provide a survey plan to the Contracting Officer with information on electronic horizontal positioning, recording/depth-finding, and tidal equipment to be used in the work, demonstrating that it will provide surveys meeting all requirements of EM 1110-1-1005 for topographic Surveying and EM 1110-2-1003 for hydrographic surveying. The information provided shall include, as a minimum, the name, model and year of manufacture of the equipment, the electronic frequencies of the horizontal positioning and depth finding equipment, and the manufacturer's stated positioning accuracy and capability. In addition, the Contractor shall provide proof that the vessel to be used is safe and suitable for operation in the waters in which the work is to be performed, and that experienced staff will be used for operation of the vessel as well as the positioning and recording/depth finding equipment.

3.2.2 Quantity Computation Drawings

MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT

PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 GENERAL

Payment will be made at the contract unit or lump sum price. The price for each item shall constitute full compensation for furnishing all labor, equipment, and materials, and performing all operations necessary to construct and complete the work in accordance with the specifications and drawings. Payment shall be considered as full compensation, notwithstanding that minor features of the work to complete items may not be mentioned.

Deviation in the actual quantity, either above or below the estimated quantity shown, shall not be made a basis for a claim for adjustment in the contract unit price, except as otherwise specified in the CONTRACT CLAUSES under SECTION 00700, FAR 52.211-0018 VARIATIONS IN ESTIMATED QUANTITIES, and EFAR 52.211-5001 VARIATIONS IN ESTIMATED QUANTITIES - SUBDIVIDED ITEMS.

Work paid for under one item will not be paid for under any other item.

1.2 MEASUREMENT

1.2.1 Job or Each

Items measured as a “Job” or “Each” (EA) will be measured for payment as a complete item.

1.2.2 Cubic Yard (CY)

Measurement for any 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 any 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 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 also be used to supplement barge counts 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 62.9 pounds per cubic foot based on the average salinity measured over one dredge season. Tonnage will then be converted to volume by using a sediment density factor. The density factor shall be calculated by the Contractor by weighing a sediment sample taken from a full barge or scow. All sampling, weighing, and

SECTION 01 22 00.00 10 Page 2 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

Any Hopper dredging shall be accomplished as follows, with reference to the attachment 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.
