1.3 LUMP SUM PAYMENT ITEMS

Payment items for the work of this contract for which contract lump sum payments will be made are listed in Section 00 41 00"BIDDING SCHEDULE" and described below. All costs for items of work, which are not specifically mentioned to be included in a particular lump sum or unit price payment item, shall be included in the listed lump sum item most closely associated with the work involved. The lump sum price and payment made for each item listed shall constitute full compensation for furnishing all plant, labor, materials, and equipment, and performing any associated Contractor quality control, environmental protection, meeting safety requirements, tests and reports, and for performing all work required for which separate payment is not otherwise provided.

1.3.1 Payment Item No. 0001 Mobilization and Demobilization

All costs connected with the mobilization and demobilization of all of the Contractor's dredging plant and equipment as defined below will be paid for at the contract lump sum price for this item. Sixty percent of the lump sum price will be paid to the Contractor upon completion of his mobilization at the work site. The remaining forty percent will be paid to the Contractor upon completion of demobilization. In the event the Contracting Officer considers that the amount in this item, sixty percent which represents mobilization and forty percent which represents demobilization, does not bear a reasonable relation to the cost of the work in this contract, the Contracting Officer may require the Contractor to produce cost data to justify this portion of the bid. Failure to justify such price to the satisfaction of the Contracting Officer will result in payment of actual mobilization costs, as determined by the Contracting Officer, at the completion of mobilization, and actual demobilization costs, as determined by the Contracting Officer, at the completion of demobilization. The determination of the Contracting Officer is not subject to appeal.

SECTION 01 22 00 Page 2

1.3.1.1 Mobilization

Mobilization shall include all costs for operations accomplished prior to commencement of actual dredging operations. This shall include as a minimum the following:

a. Transfer of dredge and attendant plant, barges and scows, bulldozers and other like equipment and machinery.

b. All initial installation of dredge-pipe

c. All costs for any other associated work that is necessary in advance of the actual dredging operations.

1.3.1.2 Demobilization

Demobilization shall include general preparation for transfer of plant to its home base.

1.3.2 Payment Item No. 0002 TRI-LEG WARNING BEACON REMOVAL

Payment for this item shall include all labor, methods, materials and means in which to access the Quinby Creek Warning Daybeacon B (LLNR 6775), located at position 37-31-54.917N, 75-43-21.6000W, remove all components of the beacon (superstructure, piles, etc.) transport, and dispose of the items at the contractor's designated disposal area. Cutting off of piles is prohibited.

1.4 UNIT PRICE PAYMENT ITEMS

Payment items for the work of this contract on which the contract unit price payments will be made are listed in the BIDDING SCHEDULE and described below. The unit price and payment made for each item listed shall constitute full compensation for furnishing all plant, labor, materials, and equipment, and performing any associated Contractor quality control, environmental protection, meeting safety requirements, tests and reports, and for performing all work required for each of the unit price items.

1.5 Payment Item No. 0003 Maintenance Dredging Quinby Creek Channel

Payment to be made for all costs associated with dredging shall include the cost of removal, transportation and disposal of dredged material at the NEARSHORE PLACEMENT AREA, exclusive of the mobilization and demobilization as defined above. Dredging shall be to a depth of 6' with 1' of allowable overdepth to be paid for at the unit price. The total amount of material removed and to be paid for under this payment item will be measured by the cubic yard in place by computing the volume between the bottom surface shown by soundings of the last surveys made before dredging, and the bottom surface shown by the soundings of surveys made as soon as practicable after the work has been completed. The volume for measurement and payment shall include the material within the limits of overdepth and side slopes described in paragraph "Required Dredging Prism, Overdepth, and Side Slopes" of SECTION 35 20 23, less any deductions that may be required for misplaced material described in subparagraph "Misplaced Material", below.

The drawings are believed to accurately represent conditions at the time of the surveys indicated. New soundings will be taken immediately before

SECTION 01 22 00 Page 3 dredging as specified in paragraph "Before Dredging Surveys" of SECTION 35 20 23. The Contractor's unit price for dredging, based on the above method of computation of the quantity for payment, shall include his evaluation of shoaling, other natural changes in the waterway, or changes caused by the Contractor's operations that might occur during the period between the surveys before dredging and the surveys for acceptance of the work.

Computations for payment purposes will be made by the Government for the scheduled dredging using, as defined in the USACE Hydrographic Survey Manual EM 1110-2-1003, the Average End Area (AEA) method, Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) method, or a combination of these methods at the discretion of the Government, utilizing electronic data processing software and machines for the calculations. Determination of quantities removed and the deductions made to determine quantities in place to be paid for in the areas specified, after having once been made, will not be reopened except on evidence of collusion, fraud, or obvious error.

1.6 Payment Item No. 0004 Maintenance Dredging Quinby Creek Turning Basin

Payment to be made for all costs associated with dredging shall include the cost of removal, transportation and disposal of dredged material at the NEARSHORE PLACEMENT AREA, exclusive of the mobilization and demobilization as defined above. Dredging shall be to a depth of 6' with 1' of allowable overdepth to be paid for at the unit price. The total amount of material removed and to be paid for under this payment item will be measured by the cubic yard in place by computing the volume between the bottom surface shown by soundings of the last surveys made before dredging, and the bottom surface shown by the soundings of surveys made as soon as practicable after the work has been completed. The volume for measurement and payment shall include the material within the limits of overdepth and side slopes described in paragraph "Required Dredging Prism, Overdepth, and Side Slopes" of SECTION 35 20 23, less any deductions that may be required for misplaced material described in subparagraph "Misplaced Material", below.

The drawings are believed to accurately represent conditions at the time of the surveys indicated. New soundings will be taken immediately before dredging as specified in paragraph "Before Dredging Surveys" of SECTION 35 20 23. The Contractor's unit price for dredging, based on the above method of computation of the quantity for payment, shall include his evaluation of shoaling, other natural changes in the waterway, or changes caused by the Contractor's operations that might occur during the period between the surveys before dredging and the surveys for acceptance of the work.

Computations for payment purposes will be made by the Government for the scheduled dredging using, as defined in the USACE Hydrographic Survey Manual EM 1110-2-1003, the Average End Area (AEA) method, Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) method, or a combination of these methods at the discretion of the Government, utilizing electronic data processing software and machines for the calculations. Determination of quantities removed and the deductions made to determine quantities in place to be paid for in the areas specified, after having once been made, will not be reopened except on evidence of collusion, fraud, or obvious error.

1.7 MISPLACED MATERIAL

Any material that is deposited elsewhere than in places designated or approved by the Contracting Officer will not be paid for, and the Contractor may be required to remove such misplaced material and deposit it

SECTION 01 22 00 Page 4 where directed by the Contracting Officer at the Contractor's expense.

1.8 EXCESSIVE DREDGING

Material taken from outside the specific areas to be dredged or beyond the limits as extended in paragraph "Required Dredging Prism, Overdepth, and Side Slopes" will be considered as excessive overdepth dredging, or excessive side slope dredging, for which payment will not be made. Nothing in these specifications shall be construed to prevent payment for the removal of shoals performed in accordance with the applicable provisions of Paragraphs SHOALING and FINAL EXAMINATION AND ACCEPTANCE of Section 35 20 23.

1.9 MONTHLY PARTIAL PAYMENTS

Monthly partial payments will be based on estimated quantities determined by the Contracting Officer.

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

Prepare for approval a Project Schedule, as specified herein, pursuant to the Contract Clause, SCHEDULE FOR CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS. Show in the schedule the sequence in which the Contractor proposes to perform the work and dates on which the Contractor contemplates starting and completing all schedule activities. The scheduling of the entire project and construction sequences, is required. The scheduling of construction is the responsibility of the Contractor. Contractor management personnel shall actively participate in its development. Subcontractors and suppliers working on the project shall also contribute in developing and maintaining an accurate Project Schedule. Provide a schedule that is a forward planning as well as a project monitoring tool.

SECTION 01 32 01 Page 2

3.1.1 Approved Project Schedule

Use the approved Project Schedule to measure the progress of the work and to aid in evaluating time extensions. Make the schedule cost loaded and activity coded. The schedule will provide the basis for all progress payments. If the Contractor fails to submit any schedule within the time prescribed, the Contracting Officer may withhold approval of progress payments until the Contractor submits the required schedule.

3.1.2 Schedule Status Reports

Provide a Schedule Status Report on at least a monthly basis. If, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, the Contractor falls behind the approved schedule, take steps necessary to improve its progress including those that may be required by the Contracting Officer, without additional cost to the Government. In this circumstance, the Contracting Officer may require the Contractor to increase the number of shifts, overtime operations, days of work, and/or the amount of construction/dredging plant, and to submit for approval any supplementary schedule or schedules as the Contracting Officer deems necessary to demonstrate how the approved rate of progress will be regained.

3.1.3 Default Terms

Failure of the Contractor to comply with the requirements of the Contracting Officer shall be grounds for a determination, by the Contracting Officer, that the Contractor is not prosecuting the work with sufficient diligence to ensure completion within the time specified in the contract. Upon making this determination, the Contracting Officer may terminate the Contractor's right to proceed with the work, or any separable part of it, in accordance with the default terms of the contract.

3.2 BASIS FOR PAYMENT AND COST LOADING

Use the schedule as the basis for determining contract earnings during each update period and therefore the amount of each progress payment. Lack of an approved schedule update, or qualified scheduling personnel, may result in the inability of the Contracting Officer to evaluate contract earned value for the purposes of payment. Failure of the Contractor to provide all required information will result in the disapproval of subsequent schedule updates. In the event schedule revisions are directed by the Contracting Officer and those revisions have not been included in subsequent revisions or updates, the Contracting Officer may hold retainage up to the maximum allowed by contract, each payment period, until such revisions to the Project Schedule have been made. Activity cost loading shall be reasonable, as determined by the Contracting Officer.

3.3 PROJECT SCHEDULE DETAILED REQUIREMENTS

The Contractor shall submit his Progress Schedule to the Contracting Officer for approval at the Pre-Construction Conference specified in SECTION ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS. The Progress Schedule shall be submitted and certified as complete by the Contractor's Quality Control Representative in the form of a chart graphically indicating the sequence proposed to accomplish each work feature or operation. The chart shall be prepared to show the starting and completion dates of all work features on a linear horizontal time scale beginning with date of Notice to Proceed, arrival date of Contractor's plant to the job site, all activities scheduled prior to dredging, dredging start and completion dates, calendar

SECTION 01 32 01 Page 3 days to completion of all work, and contract completion date.

The Contractor shall indicate on the chart the important work activities that are critical to the timely overall completion of the project. Key dates for important features or portions of work features are milestone dates and shall be so indicated on the chart.

3.3.1 PROGRESS SCHEDULE FORMAT

Use the Critical Path Method (CPM) of network calculation to generate the Project Schedule and prepare the Project Schedule using the Precedence Diagram Method (PDM) OR prepare the Progress Schedule in the form of a Gantt Chart.

3.3.2 Level of Detail Required

Develop the Project Schedule to an appropriate level of detail. Failure to develop the Project Schedule to an appropriate level of detail, as determined by the Contracting Officer, will result in its disapproval. The Contracting Officer will consider, but is not limited to, the following characteristics and requirements to determine appropriate level of detail:

3.3.2.1 Activity Durations

Reasonable activity durations are those that allow the progress of ongoing activities to be accurately determined between update periods.

3.3.2.2 Procurement Activities

The schedule must include activities associated with the submittal, approval, procurement, fabrication and delivery of long lead materials, equipment, fabricated assemblies and supplies as applicable. Long lead procurement activities are those with an anticipated procurement sequence of over 90 calendar days. A typical procurement sequence includes the string of activities: submit, approve, procure, fabricate, and deliver.

3.3.2.3 Critical Activities

The following activities shall be listed as separate line activities on the Contractor's Project Schedule and may be submitted on a separate sheet.

This list represents a partial lists and is not considered complete:

a. Submission and approval of Accident Prevention Plan.

b. Submission and approval of all environmental submittals.

c. Submission and approval of dredge plan and auxiliary equipment.

d. Submission and approval of pre-work plan and schedule.

e. Submission and approval of pipeline placement route.

f. Submission and approval of pre-placement beach survey.

g. Submission and approval of Quality Control Plan.

h. Coast Guard Notification of Mariner's and VADEQ notification.

i. Submittal of current marine plant certification and recent plant inspection.

j. Submission of Ongoing Turbidity Daily Test Report via email.

k. Submission and approval of as-built drawings.

l. Prefinal inspection.

m. Correction of punch list from prefinal inspection.

n. Final inspection.

o. Safety and Emergency Management Plan.

SECTION 01 32 01 Page 4

3.3.2.4 Government Activities

Show Government and other agency activities that could impact progress.

These activities include, but are not limited to:

a. Government surveys for payment

b. Required Contractor submittals for Government approval

c. Inspections required by the contract.

3.3.2.5 Definable Features of Work Coding (FOW1, FOW2, FOW3)

Assign a Definable Feature of Work Code to appropriate activities based on the definable feature of work to which the activity belongs. Definable Feature of Work is defined in Specification Section 01 45 00 QUALITY CONTROL. An activity shall not have more than one Definable Feature of Work Code. Not all activities are required to be Definable Feature of Work Coded.

3.3.3 Scheduled Project Completion and Activity Calendars

The schedule interval shall extend from NTP date to the required contract completion date. The contract completion activity (End Project) shall finish based on the required contract duration in the accepted contract proposal, as adjusted for any approved contract time extensions. The first scheduled work period shall be the day after NTP is received by the Contractor.

3.3.3.1 Project Start Date

The schedule shall start no earlier than the date on which the NTP was acknowledged. Include as the first activity in the project schedule an activity called "Start Project"( or NTP). The "Start Project" activity shall have an "ES" constraint date equal to the date that the NTP was acknowledged, and a zero day duration.

3.3.3.2 Schedule Constraints and Open Ended Logic

Constrain completion of the last activity in the schedule by the contract completion date. Schedule calculations shall result in a negative float when the calculated early finish date of the last activity is later than the contract completion date. Include as the last activity in the project schedule an activity called "End Project". The "End Project" activity shall have an "LF" constraint date equal to the contract completion date for the project, and with a zero day duration or by using the "project must finish by" date in the scheduling software. The schedule shall have no constrained dates other than those specified in the contract. The use of artificial float constraints such as "zero fee float" or "zero total float" are typically prohibited. There shall only be 2 open ended activities:

Start Project (or NTP) with no predecessor logic and End Project with no successor logic.

3.3.3.3 Early Project Completion

In the event the project schedule calculates an early completion date of the last activity prior to the contract completion date, identify those activities that it intends to accelerate and/or those activities that are scheduled in parallel to support the Contractor's "early" completion. The last activity shall have a late finish constraint equal to the contract completion date and the schedule will calculate positive float. The

SECTION 01 32 01 Page 5

Government will not approve an early completion schedule with zero float on the longest path. The Government is under no obligation to accelerate activities for which it is responsible to support a proposed early contract completion.

3.3.4 Milestones

The schedule must include milestone activities for each significant project event including but not limited to: milestone activities for confined disposal facility preparation construction complete; installation of pipeline complete; dredging complete.

3.4 PROJECT SCHEDULE SUBMISSIONS

Provide the submissions as described below.

3.4.1 Project Schedule Submission

Submit the initial Project Schedule, at the Pre-Construction Meeting. The approved Project Schedule will be used for payment purposes. Cost load the Project Schedule to balance the contract award Contract line item numbers (CLINS) shown on the Price Schedule. The initial Project Schedule must include all of the required Plan and Program preparations, submissions and approvals identified in the contract (for example, Quality Control Plan, Safety Plan, and Environmental Protection Plan)

3.4.2 Periodic Schedule Updates

Submit periodic schedule updates monthly with requests for progress payment. These submissions will assist the Contracting Officer in assessing the Contractor's progress. Update the percent complete for each activity started, based on the realistic assessment of work completed. If the Contractor fails or refuses to furnish the information and project schedule data, which in the judgment of the Contracting Officer or authorized representative is necessary for verifying the Contractor's progress, the Contractor shall be deemed not to have provided an estimate upon which progress payment may be made.

1.1.2 Submittal Classification

Submittals are classified as follows:

a. Government Approved

Government approval is required for extensions of design, critical materials, deviations, equipment whose compatibility with the entire system must be checked, and other items as designated by the Contracting Officer. Within the terms of the Contract Clause entitled "Specifications and Drawings for Construction," they are considered to be "shop drawings."

b. Information Only

All submittals not requiring Government approval will be for information only. They are not considered to be "shop drawings" within the terms of the Contract Clause referred to above.

1.2 APPROVAL OF SUBMITTALS

The approval of submittals by the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR), shall not be construed as a complete check, but will indicate only that the general method of construction, work scheduling, and other information are satisfactory. Approval will not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for any error which may exist, as the Contractor under the Contractor Quality Control (CQC) requirements of this contract is responsible for the dimensions, layout, and satisfactory construction of all work as indicated and specified. After submittals have been approved by the COR, resubmittal for the purpose of changing the approved Work Plan, Progress Schedule, designated Acceptance Sections, or for any other reason, will not be given consideration unless accompanied by an explanation as to why a change is necessary.

1.3 DISAPPROVED SUBMITTALS

The Contractor shall make all corrections required by the COR and promptly furnish a corrected submittal with the Daily CQC Report as specified for the initial submittal.

All requirements of submittals shall be coordinated with SECTION 01 45 00. Any questions regarding submittals required of the Contractor will be discussed at the Preconstruction Conference specified in Section 01 30 00 "ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS." At this Conference, and during the progress of the work, the COR may request submittals in addition to those listed when deemed necessary to adequately describe the work covered in the respective sections. Dimensions and units of weights and measures used on all submittals shall be the same as indicated and specified. Each submittal shall be complete and in sufficient detail to allow ready determination of compliance with contract requirements. Prior to submittal, all items shall be checked and approved as complete by the CQC representative as specified in SECTION 01 45 00.
