d. After picking up each stoplog, the marine plant shall be able to swing the load to 0º for placements.

e. The material barges will be slid back and forth along the slide of the marine plant to allow picking over the side and placement over the front so as to minimize the crane operating radius and prevent the bow of material barges from protruding into the placement area while at the 0º slew angle.

f. Removal of stoplogs shall be in the reverse order with stoplogs being placed back on the material barges after removal.

4. The cranebarge shall be capable of use around plate ice typically found in the northern Great Lakes region.

The Government will only move the floating plant within the limitations of the Soo Locks facility. The western limitations are defined as a line drawn from Southwest Pier to Northwest Pier and the eastern limits are defined as a line drawn from Southeast Pier to Northeast Pier.

The Government shall not be liable for any wear on the cranebarge that results from normal mooring, maneuvering, and use of the plant. The Contractor must document any perceived excessive wear or damage and bring it to the Contracting Officer’s attention immediately for consideration in accordance with the contract terms and clauses.
