1.9.6 Suspension of River Traffic and Construction

1.9.6.1 Withdrawal of Equipment and Floating Plant

Navigational restrictions require that all river traffic through Pike Island Lock(s) and Dam be suspended when the river level reaches El.

648.3 NAVD88 (lower gauge = 38 feet) El. 650.52 NAVD88 (Upper gauge = 19 feet). Therefore, all work performed from floating plant at the project site shall be suspended when the river level is at this stage. Work from areas not affected by this river stage may continue. The Contractor's floating plant shall be moored away from the dam by the time the river level reaches El. 648.3 / 650.52 NAVD88, and work is suspended. It shall also be the Contractor's responsibility to withdraw any land-based equipment that would be subject to damage by rising river stages at this level from such affected areas, before they are subject to damage. The Contractor shall monitor the prevailing river conditions at the project site, referring to the upstream project river gauge, river forecasts issued by the National Weather Services, and the Corps of Engineers River Forecast System, and shall determine when to withdraw equipment and floating plant. The withdrawal of equipment and floating plant shall ultimately be the Contractor's decision and will not be directed by the Government. It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to determine the time necessary to make a complete and safe withdrawal of equipment and floating plant with due consideration given to the location of mooring area; amount of equipment; size of the floating plant, and capacity of towboats and propelling units to operate safely and efficiently at the expected river velocities. All floating plant and equipment shall remain securely moored during the period when river levels are at or above El.

648.3 / 650.52 NAVD88, and river traffic and work is suspended. The Contractor shall also be responsible for providing personnel during the suspension to adjust mooring lines as required by the prevailing river conditions. The Contractor shall resume all work, and remobilize equipment and floating plant from its moored location when the river level reaches El. 648.3 / 650.52 NAVD88 with a falling condition forecasted.

The Government will permit short term closure of the River/Main Chamber for up to 8 hours per day, Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays with the goal being to have the least amount of interruption to the River/Main Chamber. Short term closures will be provided for all work associated with the eight chamber side anchors leading up to concrete placement, anchor installation and stressing, and any work post placement. Short term closures will only be provided during stressing and grouting activities for the twenty eight river side anchors. Up to three short term closures per week can be provided. One long term closures for up to 48 hours will be permitted for placement of concrete for the new concrete cap. Only one 48 hour closure will be permitted to be scheduled in one calendar week, with neither a short term or long term closure occurring during the same week. During these temporary lock closures, the Contractor will be permitted to perform work which requires closure of the River/Main Chamber. At the end of each Temporary Lock Closure, the Contractor shall ensure that the River/Main Chamber is fully operational.

Temporary closures will not be permitted on Federal holidays or the following holiday weekends:

Memorial Day Weekend Fourth of July Labor Day Weekend

The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer or designated representative at least 35 calendar days prior to anticipated requirement for temporary lock closures. The Government will review the Contractor's request for the temporary lock closures and will either approve or deny the Contractor's request depending on previously scheduled priority lockages and may provide alternative temporary closure dates.

1.10.3 Requests for Lockage Through Lock Chambers

The Government recognizes that the Contractor may need to lock through the the facility outside of the temporary lock closures, however, these lockages must be fully coordinated with the Lockmaster and kept to an absolute minimum to ensure there are no delays to commercial river traffic. All lockages must be subject to the following:

a. The Government retains the right to determine the order and priority of lockages at the sole discretion of the Lockmaster. The Government reserves the right to supercede and delay any requested lockage for any reason (such as increased commercial river traffic, maintenance, equipment failure, emergencies etc.) at the sole discretion of the Government. The Contractor is advised that these delays will not be subject to Section 00 70 00 CONDITIONS OF THE CONTRACT, FAR 52.233-1 DISPUTES, and shall not be considered as

SECTION 01 35 00.00 08 Page 13 direction from the Contracting Officer or designated representative.

These delays will not result in any additional time extensions or payment of any delay costs, nor shall they be the basis of any claim against the Government.

b. The Contractor is not permitted to use the Land Chamber for staging of equipment. The River Chamber maybe used to stage equipment during the temporary lock closures only.

c. All requests for lockages must be coordinated with the Lockmaster in accordance with the following provisions:

1) Upon approval of an estimated date and estimated time for a proposed lockage, the Contractor must be ready to perform the requested lockage.
