The general description of the work is to furnish all equipment, labor, layout of work, and supervision to saw cut concrete at the Auxiliary Chamber (landward chamber) floating mooring bitts (FMBs) in accordance with the following specifications.

This work includes saw cutting of concrete and embedded items to the lines indicated below and on the attached drawings. Removal and disposal of the concrete and associated metal items will not be required. The floating mooring bitts will be removed by others prior to commencement of work by the Contractor.

All work, including cleanup of the premises, shall be completed as follows no later than January 9, 2017.

1.2 CONCRETE SAW CUTTING

All concrete saw cutting work will be performed in the small 110-FT by 600-FT landward lock chamber, specifically at the following landward facingfloating mooring bitts on the Middle Wall:

Middle Wall Sta. 1+96.0B (3rd FMB downstream of Upper Miter Gate)

Middle Wall Sta. 3+50.0B (4th FMB downstream of Upper Miter Gate)

Middle Wall Sta. 5+06.0B (5th FMB downstream of Upper Miter Gate)

Middle Wall Sta. 5+56.0B (6th FMB downstream of Upper Miter Gate)

The work will involve both vertical and horizontal saw cutting of concrete. The approximate dimensions to be saw cut are shown on the attached sketches.

The existing mooring bitt anchorages and embedded items are shown on the attached Reference Drawings O-LNC-20/19.3 and O-LNC-20/35.3. The floating mooring bitts will be removed by others.
