SUMMARY OF WORK

PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

1.1.1 Project Description

Work under this project consists of activities to implement Phase 1B of the Remedial Design (RD) for the Atlantic Wood Industries (AWI) Superfund Site located in Portsmouth, Virginia for EPA Region 3. The work includes:

(1) In-situ stabilization/solidification of the dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) on the west side of the AWI property near the boundary with the City of Portsmouth Public School District (PPSD) facility.

(2) Erosion and sediment control.

(3) Site restoration.

This Specification section provides a description of the Scope of Work.

The Contractor shall refer to the appropriate Specification section(s) and Contract Drawings for specific details of the work.

1.1.2 Location

The work shall be at the AWI site, located within an industrialized area of Portsmouth, Virginia. The project property is approximately 2000 feet from the shoreline in the vicinity of the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River, as indicated on the Contract Drawings. The work shall extend from the AWI (or Atlantic Metrocast, as it is now known) property onto the PPSD facility.

The AWI property is surrounded by the Norfolk Naval Shipyard (also a National Priorities List site) and its Southgate Annex, the operations center for the Portsmouth Public School District, the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River, and several other small properties.

3.8 DELAY OF WORK

This provision specifies the procedure for determination of change orders for unusually severe weather in accordance with the Contract. In order for the Contractor to submit a change order under this clause, the following conditions must be satisfied:

a. The weather experienced at the project site during the contract period must be found to be unusually severe, that is, more severe than the adverse weather anticipated for the project location during any given month as described in Table 01 11 00-1.

b. If more than 50% of a day's work time cannot be utilized due to bad weather, it will be considered an adverse weather day. The delay must be beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor. Adverse weather occurring on non-scheduled work days will not be counted towards the total.

Upon the acknowledgement of the Notice to Proceed and continuing throughout the Contract, the Contractor will record daily the occurrence of adverse weather and resultant impact to normally scheduled work. Occurrence of adverse weather during scheduled work days is subject to the verification and approval of the Contracting Officer. If the occurrence of adverse weather on scheduled work days is in excess of the number of average days indicated in Table 01 11 00-1, the Contractor may submit a change order detailing their damages due to lost scheduled work days as subject to the approval of the Contracting Officer. The change order must be submitted within seven (7) days from the end of the month for which the change order is requested.

The following schedule of monthly anticipated adverse weather delays is based on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) data for the project Location (Norfolk, Virginia) and will constitute a base line for monthly adverse weather days for all weather dependent activities.

Contractor's investment 5

Assistance by Government 5

Subcontracting 25

1.10.2 Values

Based on the circumstances of each procurement action, each of the above factors shall be weighted from .03 to .12 as indicated below. The value shall be obtained by multiplying the rate by the weight. The value column when totaled indicates the fair and reasonable profit percentage under the circumstances of the particular procurement.

SECTION 01 14 00 Page 5

1.10.2.1 Degree of Risk

Where the work involves no risk or the degree of risk is very small, the weighting should be .03; as the degree of risk increases, the weighting should be increased up to a maximum of .12. Lump sum items will have, generally, a higher weighted value than the unit price items for which quantities are provided.

1.10.2.2 Relative Difficulty of Work

If the work is most difficult and complex, the weighting should be .12 and should be proportionally reduced to .03 on the simplest jobs. This factor is tied in some extent with the degree of risk. Some things to consider:

the nature of work, by whom it is done, where, and what is the time schedule.

1.10.2.3 Size of Job

All work not in excess of $100,000 shall be weighted at .12. Work estimated between $100,000 and $5,000,000 shall be proportionally weighted from .12 to .05. Work from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000 shall be weighted at .04.

Work in excess of $10,000,000 shall be weighted at .03.

1.10.2.4 Periods of Performance

Jobs in excess of 24 months are to be weighted at .12. Jobs of lesser duration are to be proportionally weighted to a minimum of .03 for jobs not exceed 30 days. No weight where additional time not required.

1.10.2.5 Contractor's Investment

To be weighted from .03 to .12 on the basis of below average, average, and above average. Things to consider: amount of subcontracting, mobilization payment item, Government furnished property, equipment and facilities, and expediting assistance.

1.10.2.6 Assistance by Government

To be weighted from .12 to .03 on the basis of average to above average.

Things to consider: use of Government owned property, equipment and facilities, and expediting assistance.

1.10.2.7 Subcontracting

Shall be weighted inversely proportional to the amount of subcontracting.

Where 80 percent or more of the work is to be subcontracted, the weighting is to be .03 and such weighting proportionally increased to .12 where all the work is performed by the Contractor's own forces.
