PIPELINE DREDGING

AMENDMENT NO. 0001

PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

The work in this Section consists of furnishing plant, labor, materials, and equipment and performing the operations necessary for the removal of materials to the required dimensions shown, satisfactory disposal thereof, and other operations incidental thereto.

1.2 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT

Measurement and payment for pipeline dredging will be paid for in accordance with provisions of the SECTION 01 22 00.10 MEASUREMENT AND

PAYMENT.

1.3 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT PRICE

Base bids on the quantity of dredging indicated. If the total quantity of dredging varies from that specified as the basis for bidding, the Contract price will be adjusted in accordance with the CONTRACT CLAUSE entitled CHANGES. The dredging conditions specified and indicated describe conditions which are known. However, the Contractor is responsible for other conditions encountered which are not unusual when compared to the conditions recognized in the dredging business as usual in dredging activities such as those required under this Contract. The Contract price for dredging will include the cost of removal and placement of the material as specified in the Paragraphs: CHARACTER OF MATERIAL and PLACEMENT OF EXCAVATED MATERIAL. The Contract price for dredging shall include the costs for maintenance of dike and ditches necessary to confine the material within the areas shown.

1.3.1 Existing Conditions

The drawings already prepared as specified in the CONTRACT CLAUSES Paragraph entitled CONTRACT DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS represent conditions existing as of the date of their preparation using average existing conditions. However, to reflect anticipated shoaling occurring between the dates of preparation of the drawings and the dates of the "before-dredging" sections, the estimated dredging quantities stated in the Bid Schedule have been adjusted accordingly. The depths and elevations shown will be verified and corrected by fathometer soundings taken by the Government before dredging. The Government will normally use a frequency of 200 kHz to conduct hydrographic surveys. If the surveys indicate the presence of fluff in the channel, a frequency of 40 kHz will be used.

Determination of quantities removed and the deductions made from them to determine quantities by in-place measurement to be paid for in the area specified, after having once been made will not be reopened, except on evidence of collusion, fraud, or obvious error.

SD-04 Samples

Discharge End Screening Device; G, AO

Prior to commencement of any dredge material placement work at West Rollover Beach Placement Area, provide working demonstration that the discharge end screening device operates as designed, subject to approval by Contracting Officer.

1.6 CHARACTER OF MATERIAL

The material to be removed is shoals which have accumulated over a period of time. However, some virgin material may be encountered in allowable overdepth, or side slope dredging during dredging operations. Due to the datum conversion from Mean Low Tide (MLT) to Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW), bidders should expect more virgin material in the overdepth than typically encountered in a maintenance dredging contract.Bidders are expected to examine the worksite and the records of previous dredging, which are available in the Galveston Resident Office and after investigation decide for themselves the character of materials.

1.6.1 Debris Within the Dredging Limits

Debris including but not limited to, metal bands, pallets, pieces of broken cable, rope, stumps, and broken piles may be encountered. The Government has no knowledge of existing wrecks, wreckage, or other material of that size or character as to require the use of explosives or special or additional plant for its economical removal. Debris removed from the dredged area shall be removed from the water. Disposal shall be the responsibility of the Contractor and disposal shall be outside the limits of Government property. The Contractor should anticipate up to 9 hours per day of delay to their effective dredging time due to excessive debris while dredging in the vicinity of Rollover Pass. If the actual conditions differ from those stated or shown, an adjustment in Contract price or time of completion, or both, will be made in accordance with the CONTRACT CLAUSE entitled DIFFERING SITE CONDITIONS.

SECTION 35 20 23.16 45 Page 5

1.7 Debris Control and Cleanup Work Plan Requirements

The Debris Control and Cleanup Work Plan is to include the following:

(1) Shop drawings and detailed descriptions of the required screening device at the discharge end of the pipeline. The plan is also to include the materials, equipment, procedures and personnel to be used in the construction, operations, and oversight of such devices.

(2) Personnel, equipment, and procedures to be used to perform visual inspections of debris accumulation at the discharge end of the pipeline at West Rollover Beach Placement Area.

(3) The measures to be followed if oversized material is discovered in the screening devices (defined as any object large enough to cause damage to the screening device or restrict the flow of dredged material passing through the screening device).

(4) The procedures to inspect, remove, and dispose of all debris collected in the screening device. Inspection of debris accumulation and debris removal from the basket is to be scheduled during standard dredge delays such as non-operating times due to barge traffic or moving pipeline at West Rollover Beach Placement Area.

(5) Estimated downtime per day (in hours) to remove debris from the screening device.

(6) The measures to be followed if any debris is identified as deposited on the West Rollover Beach Placement Area.

1.8 EASEMENTS

Permits authorizing the laying of shore pipe, and for placement of dredge material in the Placement Area(s), are on file and available for examination in the Galveston Resident Office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Jadwin Building, 2000 Fort Point Road, Galveston, Texas. The instruments authorizing the laying of shore pipelines may contain certain restrictions relative to specific route, location, and general use of the land. These instruments form a part of these specifications and the Contractor shall strictly comply with the terms thereof.

1.9 UTILITIES ACROSS THE LIMITS OF DREDGING

It is the Contractor's responsibility to investigate the location of utility crossings. The Contractor shall take precautions against damages which can result from dredging operations in the vicinity of the utility crossings. If damage occurs as a result of dredging operations, the Contractor will be required to suspend dredging until the damage is repaired and approved. Costs of these repairs and downtime of the dredge and attendant plant shall be at the Contractor's expense.

1.9.1 Known Pipeline/Utility Crossings

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 DISCHARGE END SCREENING DEVICES

3.1.1 General

Prevent debris from being placed on the West Rollover Beach Placement Site by utilizing a Discharge End Screening Device. The required screening device will meet the following requirements

SECTION 35 20 23.16 45 Page 9

(1) The screening device is to be made of rugged steel or composite material, one-piece or welded members, and constructed as a basket-type device to retain debris and prevent debris from spreading across the footprint of West Rollover Beach Placement Site during dredging operations.

(2) Relief windows will be permitted only to the side opposite of the inflow and at least 12 inches from the bottom of the basket. Windows are to be sized and located to prevent large items from escaping the basket during dredging operations.

(3) The screening device is to be designed to retain all items 0.75 inches in diameter and larger. The openings on the screening device are to be of uniform dimension (i.e. a grid or a series of round holes). Slotted openings will not be permitted. The maximum allowable opening size is 0.75 inches x 0.75 inches.

(4) The screening device is to be removable for easy replacement if damaged and provide a production rate that allows the Contractor to complete all dredging and beach placement area work within the Contract duration.

(5) The screening device is to be designed for easy access to periodically remove accumulated debris within the basket.

(6) Maintain adequate replacement parts and additional screening devices on site to ensure the production for the work does not stop due to damaged devices, or delays in the inspection and cleanup process.

(7) The screening devices will be demonstrated on site by the Contractor to meet all requirements as specified and is subject to approval of the Contracting Officer.

Provide minor adjustments to the beach screening devices as directed by the Contracting Officer to accommodate varying types and amounts of material being screened at the beach, at no additional cost to the Government.

Minor adjustments to the beach screening devices will be made during standard dredge delays or while devices are out of rotation and not in use.

As an example, relief windows other than the required screen apertures are sometimes needed to be enlarged, reduced, or relocated to minimize residual debris in the basket during the inflow process.

3.1.2 Inspection of Oversized Material

Implement a method for inspection of all oversized material collected during beach placement pumping operations. Every effort is to be made to flush all sand out of the residual material to allow for 100 percent inspection.

3.4 ESTIMATED QUANTITY OF MATERIAL

Within the limits of available funds, the Contractor will be required to excavate the entire quantity of material necessary to complete the work specified whether the quantities involved are greater or less than those estimated. The work is to be done in accordance with this Contract and at the Contract price or prices, subject to the provisions of the SECTION 01 10 00.01 45 NON-REGULATED SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS, Paragraph entitled VARIATIONS IN ESTIMATED QUANTITIES - DREDGING.

3.4.1 Quantity Summary

The quantities listed in Appendix 1 - QUANTITY SUMMARY TABLE include the volumes present at the time of the surveys indicated on the Contract drawings, plus anticipated shoaling before dredging begins. For the purpose of acceptance, the pipeline dredging work in the Bid Item(s) of the Bidding Schedule are divided into Sections.

3.4.2 Required Dredging Prism

The total estimated amount of material to be removed from within the specified limits, including side and end slopes and including anticipated shoaling occurring prior to the dates of the "before-dredging" surveys but excluding overdepths, in cubic yards is listed in Appendix 1 - QUANTITY

SUMMARY TABLE.

3.4.3 Allowable Overdepth

To cover unavoidable inaccuracies of the dredging process, material actually removed from the designated areas to be dredged, will be measured and paid for at full Contract price. The maximum amount of allowable overdepth dredging is estimated, including anticipated shoaling occurring prior to the dates of the "before-dredging" surveys in cubic yards is listed in Appendix 1 - QUANTITY SUMMARY TABLE.

3.4.4 Side And End Slopes

Dredging of the side and end slopes shall follow, as closely as practicable, the lines indicated or specified. Material actually removed from within the limits as approved, to provide for final side and end slopes as specified, but not in excess of the amounts originally above the limiting side and end slopes will be estimated and paid for, whether dredged in original position or by dredging the space below the pay slope plane at the bottom of the slope for upslope material capable of falling into the cut. In computing the limiting amount of side and end slope dredging, net dimensions, without allowance for overdepth, will be used.

SECTION 35 20 23.16 45 Page 11

3.4.5 Excessive Dredging

Material taken from beyond the limits specified will be deducted from the total amount dredged as excessive overdepth dredging or excessive side or end slope dredging, for which payment will not be made. Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent payment for the removal of shoals performed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the SECTION 01 10 00.01 45 NON-REGULATED SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS, Paragraph FINAL EXAMINATION AND ACCEPTANCE or Paragraph SHOALING.

3.5 AREAS TO BE DREDGED

3.7.1.1 Misplaced Material

Material shall not be deposited or allowed to flow into project channels or into a bayou, stream tributary to the Channel, or into an existing drainage outlet ditch, canal, water intake or outlet facility, nor shall materials be allowed to flow onto improved areas including highways and roads in or adjacent to the Placement Area. If a stream, bayou drainage outlet, ditch, canal, water intake or outlet facility becomes shoaled as a result of the pipeline dredging or placement operations, promptly remove these shoals and the material shall be placed in the Placement Area. Dragging or washing operations to remove the shoals will not be permitted.

3.7.1.2 Placement Operations Inspection

Adequately inspect placement operations in the Placement Area(s) daily to reduce the possibility of accidental breaching of dikes and spillway with resulting spillage of dredged materials outside the Area. If dikes failures occur while materials are being pumped into the Placement Area, dredging operations shall be stopped immediately, and the deposit of material in the Area shall not be resumed until the confining structures have been restored to an approved condition. Holes dug on the banks for deadmen or anchorage shall be filled. Confined areas shall be maintained in an operational condition until completion and acceptance of the work under this Contract. The SECTION 01 10 00.01 45 NON-REGULATED SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS, Paragraph DAMAGE TO WORK is only applicable to damage of dikes and other non-dredging items.

3.7.1.3 Placement Area Drainage

Deposited materials shall not impound water or impede natural drainage.

The Contractor shall, if necessary, excavate and maintain ditches to drain the low areas in the dredged material and Placement Area to the weirs. The ditches shall be of adequate number and size to eliminate ponding of water within the limits of the Placement Area.

3.7.1.4 Maintenance of Existing Dikes and Drop-outlet Structures

It is the responsibility of the Contractor to verify the current condition of the dikes prior to commencement of dredging and to notify the Contracting Officer of slumped or failed areas where there appears to be a potential for failure or overtopping during ponding. The Contractor will have the responsibility of continually monitoring the dikes condition and to maintain the dikes in a condition and elevation equal to or better than the condition of the dikes at the date of this Contract award. The Contractor shall also construct temporary access from the existing roadway to each drop-outlet structure in each Placement Area.

3.7.2 Spillway Operations

Once placement operations are completed in a confined area for which the Placement Area is being used, the boards on the spillway of that Placement Area shall be removed at a proper rate to allow drainage of the Area. In confined areas, dike and spillway work required shall be completed and accepted prior to placement operations in that Area. Spillways shall be

SECTION 35 20 23.16 45 Page 13 operated in general accordance with guidelines contained in the Engineering Manual EM 1110-2-5027 entitled "Confined Disposal of Dredged Material", to maintain uniformity of weir elevation around the drop-out structure, as is practicable, during discharge of effluent. Boards shall be uniform in width and of proper length so insertion and removal is not difficult.

Cracked, warped or boards of improper length shall be replaced. Seepage between boards during ponding shall be eliminated using plastic sheeting or other effective methods. Upon completion of discharge within a particular Area, the Contractor shall remove the boards as soon as practicable to accomplish drainage of the Area.
