a. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer, in writing, at least thirty (30) days in advance of the date he proposes to use a floating plant above or below the immediate vicinity of the Locks and Dam (within the confines of the designated lockage arrival points). The Contracting Officer will advise the Lockmaster so that action is coordinated with traffic in a timely manner. Priority lockage can be authorized at the request of the Contractor.

b. Stationing of floating plant above the immediate vicinity of the Locks and Dam will be prohibited whenever river flows are sufficient to require a total Dam gate opening exceeding 50 feet. Stationing of floating plant below the immediate vicinity of the Locks and Dam will be prohibited whenever river flows are sufficient to require a total Dam gate opening exceeding 25 feet. Projected increased river flow which may require total Dam opening to exceed the referenced 50 or 25 feet, of total Dam gate opening and/or possible accidents, will require the Contractor to immediately remove the floating plant. Therefore, the Contractor shall furnish the Contracting Officer a list of all the Contractor's key personnel, along with telephone numbers where they may be contacted day or night, so that on a short notice the floating plant may be removed from the vicinity of the Dam.

The Contractor shall also provide a towboat with adequate horsepower and twin screws to handle the floating plant being utilized, or shall obtain a contract with a reputable towing or marine service company to provide towboat services on an as-needed basis. The towboat shall be available within four hours of notice of need to abandon the work position, as directed by the Contracting Officer, on a 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week basis, anytime the Contractor's floating plant is on station at the Locks and Dam. Note: The towboat does not have to be on station but shall be available on notice to reach the project site as specified above. The Government will furnish three (3) copies of 33 CFR 207.300, "Regulations Prescribed by the Secretary of the Army for Ohio River, Mississippi River above Cairo, Ill., and their Tributaries, Use, Administration and Navigation", to the Contractor for purpose of construction.

g. During use of a floating plant, the Government will, to maximum extent practicable, operate the Dam in such manner that tainter gate No. 1 will be closed while the Contractor is working in the immediate area.

1.15 FLOOD OUTAGE

During the course of the contract, high river flow conditions will develop in varying degrees. The Contracting Officer or the Lockmaster will inform the Contractor as to when he will be required to remove his floating plant from the work area to meet the requirements above. At above 50 feet of total Dam opening, the Lockmaster will make an evaluation of pending river conditions and will inform the Contracting Officer as to whether the Contractor shall be required to remove his floating plant.

a. Total gate openings of 50 feet and 25 feet referred to in the specifications equate to 175,000 cfs and 88,700 cfs, respectively. It is imperative that the Contractor maintain close communication with the Lockmaster throughout this contract and to ascertain expected river conditions for the remainder of the work day and the short term future.

b. The stage duration curves, Contract Drawings S-701 through S-708, represent the results of a statistical analysis of historical stage data for the upper and lower gages, on a monthly basis. For any given stage, these curves can be used to determine the percentage of time for which that particular stage could be expected to be equaled or exceeded on a monthly basis or for any given month. The historical stage hydrographs shown on Contract Drawings S-709 and S710, illustrate the variation in the upper and lower pools for the period of record 1 October 2002 to 30 September 2015. For the upper pool hydrographs the gage datum is 473.0 feet. For the lower pool hydrographs the gage datum is 443.0 feet.

1.2 DESCRIPTION OF WORK

1.2.1 General Project Features

a. The general description of the work of this contract consists of furnishing all materials, equipment, labor, layouts of work features, and supervision needed to accomplish work related to lifting two (2) leaves of a new miter gate, moving them and installing them in the main chamber upper miter gate recesses at Meldahl Locks and Dam located at approximately mile marker 436 on the Ohio River. There is one (1) right leaf and one (1) left leaf. Each leaf is approximately 66-foot tall by 62-foot wide by 7-foot deep and weighs approximately 245 tons. Both new miter gate leaves are currently stored in a horizontal position (lying flat). The right leaf is on the esplanade/grass approximately 400-foot downstream of the upper auxiliary chamber miter gate and no closer than 55-foot from the face of the lock wall. The left leaf is on a Government barge moored off in the harbor area behind the upper guide wall. Each of the new leaves have both a set of two (2) lifting lugs on the top (G-1) for lifting the leaves vertically and a set of four (4) lifting lugs on the downstream (open) side for lifting the leaves horizontally. These lugs were designed and installed by the fabrication contractor. If the Contractor wishes to utilize these lugs as is, the drawings are included in the reference drawings of the contract drawings and computations are included at the end of Section 01 00 00 CONTRACT CONSIDERATIONS, titled "Meldahl Locks and Dam Leaf Gate Lift & Barge Stability for the Contractor's use in verifying the adequacy of the lugs.

b. Each of the miter gate leaves will need to be rotated from the horizontal (flat) position to a vertical position with girder G-1 on top.

The Contractor shall develop a plan for handling the turning the leaves.

The Government has four (4) turning shoes, two of which can be mounted to the bottom horizontal girder at the intermediate diaphragms of each gate leaf to assist with rotating the leaves. If the Contractor wishes to utilize these turning shoes they shall notify the Government thirty (30) days in advance of when they will be needed. A Drawing of the turning shoes is included in the reference drawings of the contract drawings. The Contractor shall be responsible for installing on and removing the turning shoes from the miter gate leaves.

SECTION 01 00 00 Page 2

c. The miter gate leaves shall be placed in their respective recesses "in the dry". To accomplish this the Government will: (1) set the downstream emergency gate to hold back the upper pool; (2) place a stack of maintenance bulkhead units downstream of the miter gate recesses; (3) pump out the water between the emergency gate and maintenance bulkheads and (4) maintain the pumped out condition as long as river levels permit or the work is complete. This will create a dewatered area at the location where the miter gate leaves will be set on the pintles. The water elevation upstream of the dewatered area will be at upper pool and the water elevation downstream of the dewatered area will be at lower pool. The Contractor will need to lift the miter gate leaves either over the emergency gate on the upstream end or over the maintenance bulkhead units on the downstream end. While placing the gate leaves on the pintles, there will be no submerging of the gate leaves.

d. Once a miter gate leaf has been set on the pintle ball in the chamber, the Contractor shall hold the leaf in place to permit the Government to install the top miter gate anchorage. It may be necessary for the Contractor to make small adjustments to the location/alignment of the top of the gate leaf to assists in the installation of the miter gate top anchorage. After the miter gate top anchorage has been installed, the Contractor shall remove the lifting rigging from the leaf.

1.2.2 Schedule

The Government expects to have the preparation work to the lock chamber completed by 17 July 2017. To provide ample time for scheduling the availability of the Contractor, the miter gate leaves can be lifted and installed on the pintle balls, in the dewatered portion of the lock chamber, anytime between 17 July 2017 and 31 August 2017. The Contractor shall plan on being available for a period of twenty-one (21) days from the actual date they indicated they will be on-site and be ready to make the lifts. The Government estimates that the Contractor will need to make a minimum of three (3) lifts and as many as six (6) lifts to get both miter gate leaves to their final position on the pintle balls. However, the Contractor is responsible for developing the installation plans for the gate leaves and will establish the actual number of lifts to be performed.

The Contractor shall schedule one day for each lift with the remainder of the scheduled 21 days in "stand-by" mode. "Stand-by" mode shall be defined as when the Contractor has all material, equipment and personnel available to proceed with a lift during the scheduled twenty-one (21) day period but is delayed by the Government. The Contractor shall submit a detailed breakdown of costs associated with the daily standby costs. After the miter gate leaves have been installed on the pintle balls and the Government has accepted the work as completed, the Contractor shall depart from the project within 24 hours.

1.2.3 Limited Working Area and Times

The Meldahl Locks and Dam project is an active navigation lock on the Ohio River operated 24/7. The locks consists of two (2) lock chambers commonly referred to as the "main" chamber and "auxiliary" chamber. The main chamber is 110-foot wide by 1200-foot long and the auxiliary chamber is 110-foot wide by 600-foot long. During the time of performance of this contract, the main chamber will be inactive and the auxiliary chamber will be the only chamber available to pass navigation traffic. During the course of this work it will be necessary for the Contractor be in the auxiliary chamber thus shutting the project down to navigation traffic. To reduce the impact to the navigation industry, the Contractor's access in

SECTION 01 00 00 Page 3 the auxiliary chamber shall be limited to one 10-hour long period during daylight hours each day. Outside of this 10-hour period the Contractor will need to remove their equipment and materials from the auxiliary lock chamber and its approaches to permit navigation traffic to utilize the auxiliary chamber.
