1.22.1 Maintenance Requirements

The Contractor shall share maintenance responsibility for the haul roads and other facilities used by the Contractor. The Contractor is responsible for dust control mitigation, removing any debris deposited on roadways by their trucks and repairing any damages to existing roads or facilities at their own expense. Repair haul roads and other facilities in accordance with the appropriate State or Local agency requirements. Develop a maintenance plan with the owners of the haul roads and other facilities anticipated to be used by the Contractor. The maintenance plans will document the preconstruction condition of the anticipated haul roads, include defined maintenance responsibilities of the facility owner, the Contractor, and other anticipated facility users, and specific haul road/facility maintenance requirements. Contractor developed maintenance plans will be submitted as part of the Haul Road Plan.

DREDGING

PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 DEFINITIONS

Soil material is defined as sediments or other unconsolidated accumulations of solid particles produced by the physical and chemical disintegration of rocks, and which may or may not contain organic matter.

Hard material is defined as soil, cobbles, boulders, weathered rock, AM#4... breakwater quarry stone, ...AM#4 dense consolidated deposits, or conglomerate materials which are not included in the definition of "bedrock" but require the use of heavy excavation equipment and/or ripper teeth for removal.

Bedrock is defined as solid homogeneous interlocking crystalline material with firmly cemented, laminated, or foliated masses or conglomerate deposits, neither of which can be removed without systematic drilling and blasting, drilling and the use of expansion jacks, or hydraulic rock breakers.

1.2 CHARACTER OF MATERIALS

The materials to be dredged within the causeway toe berm area generally consist of a layer of loose to dense, poorly graded sands with varying amounts of silt and gravel. These sands are underlain by a layer of dense to very dense coarse-grained soils with varying amounts of sand and fines and containing varying amounts of cobbles and boulders.

A description of the existing surface and subsurface conditions is provided in the Geotechnical and Geophysical Data Report. Refer to Section 35 73 20.00 29 for details regarding this report.

AM#4... The materials to be removed/dredged from the existing causeway head and spur breakwater consist of previously placed breakwater materials and loose to dense, poorly graded sands with varying amounts of silt and gravel. Expect breakwater quarry stones up to 30 tons. ...AM#4

Debris associated with fishing and harbor operations should be expected in the areas to be dredged. Sunken logs, snags, cables, miscellaneous metal and other debris should also be expected.

1.3 Bedrock

The removal of bedrock is not included in this contract. If bedrock is encountered within the dredge limits the Contracting Officer shall be notified immediately. Bedrock must be scraped clean of soil, aggregate and hard material to within 1 foot or less of the bedrock surface, and a drawing shall be made delineating the area where project depth could not be reached due to the presence of bedrock. A copy of the drawing shall be provided to the Government's Quality Assurance Representative and another copy attached to the Contractor's daily report.

SECTION 35 20 23 Page 2

1.4 ARTIFICIAL OBSTRUCTIONS

Except as indicated, the Government has no knowledge of cables, pipes, or other artificial obstructions or of any wrecks, wreckage, or other material that would necessitate the use of explosives or the employment of additional equipment for economical removal. If actual conditions differ from those stated or shown, or both, an adjustment in contract price or time for completion, or both, will be made in accordance with "FAR 52.236-2, Differing Site Conditions."

1.5 DREDGING TOLERANCE

To cover unavoidable inaccuracies of dredging processes, a minus 1.0 foot vertical dredge tolerance from the lines and grades shown on the drawings will be measured and paid for at full contract price.

1.6 SIDE SLOPES

Side slopes shall be dredged to the limits and grades shown on the drawings. Caution shall be used and care taken not to damage or undermine existing harbor features when dredging. The Contractor will be responsible for monitoring side slope sloughing and erosion between the Contractor's work and the harbor features. If any side slope sloughing or erosion occurs in the completed dredge slope beyond the side slope limits shown, the Contractor shall cease dredging operations in that location immediately and contact the Contracting Officer's Representative.

1.7 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS

Provide and maintain during the life of the contract, environmental protective measures. Also, provide environmental protective measures required to correct conditions, such as oil spills or debris, that occur during the dredging operations. Comply with Federal, State, and local regulations pertaining to water, air, and noise pollution.

PART 2 PRODUCTS

Not used.

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 INSPECTION

Inspect the work, keep records of work performed, and ensure that gages, targets, ranges, and other markers are in place and usable for the intended purpose. Furnish, at the request of the Contracting Officer, boats, boatmen, laborers, and materials necessary for inspecting, supervising, and surveying the work. When required, provide transportation for the Contracting Officer and inspectors to and from the dredging plant and adjacent points on shore.

3.2 CONDUCT OF DREDGING WORK

3.2.1 General

The Contractor shall select the means and methods for mechanical dredging equipment and/or hydraulic dredging equipment necessary for the removal of all soil and hard material to the limits and grades shown on the drawings.

The Contractor or their employees may not retain any portion of the

SECTION 35 20 23 Page 3 dredged material.

AM#4... Materials removed from the head of the existing causeway and the spur breakwater will be placed in the upland placement area. Causeway and spur breakwater materials will be stockpiled separate from other dredged materials and kept accessible for future reuse. ...AM#4

3.2.2 Interference with Navigation

The Contractor will minimize interference with the use of channels and passages. The Contracting Officer will direct the shifting or moving of dredges or the interruption of dredging operations to accommodate the movement of vessels and floating equipment, if necessary.

3.2.2.1 Equipment Operation Limits

The Contractor shall restrict the placement of dredging and excavating equipment to only that actually required to accomplish the work as specified and as defined on the drawings.

3.2.3 Ranges, Gages, and Lines

Furnish, set, and maintain ranges, gages, buoys, and markers needed to define and control the work and to facilitate inspection. Suspend dredging when the ranges, gages, buoys, and markers cannot be used to adequately control the work.

3.2.4 Plant

Maintain the plant, scows, coamings, barges, pipelines, and associated equipment to meet the requirements of the work.

3.2.5 Water Quality Requirements

All dredging shall be conducted so as to minimize the amount of dredge material and suspended sediments that enter the Norton Sound. Appropriate Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be employed to minimize sediment loss and turbidity generation during dredging. BMPs may include, but are not limited to, the following:

a. Eliminating multiple bites while the bucket is on the seafloor

b. No stockpiling of dredged material on the seafloor

c. No seafloor leveling

d. Slowing the velocity of the ascending loaded clamshell bucket through the water column

e. Pausing the dredge bucket near the bottom while descending and near the water line while ascending

f. Placing filter material over the barge scuppers to clear return water

g. If dewatering runoff is discharged from the barge, silts must be removed prior to direct or indirect discharge to Norton Sound

3.2.6 Placement of Dredged Material

Provide for safe transportation and placement of all dredged materials.

Transport and dispose of AM#4... dredged material in the placement areas designated on the contract drawings. ...AM#4 The deposit of dredged materials in unauthorized places is forbidden. Comply with rules and regulations of local port and harbor governing authorities.
