AMENDMENT NO. 0001

PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 COMMENCEMENT, PROSECUTION, AND COMPLETION OF WORK (APR 1984) (FAR

52.211-10)

The Contractor shall be required to:

(a) Commence work under this contract within 10 calendar days after the date the Contractor receives Notice to Proceed;

(b) Prosecute the work diligently, and

(c) Complete the entire work ready for use not later than 206(AM#1)229 calendar days. The time stated for completion shall include final cleanup of the premises.

1.2 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES - CONSTRUCTION (SEPT 2000) (FAR 52.211-12)

(a) If the Contractor fails to complete the work within the time specified in the contract, the Contractor shall pay liquidated damages to the Government in the amount of $1,406.00 for each calendar day of delay until the work is completed or accepted.

(b) If the Government terminates the Contractor's right to proceed, liquidated damages will continue to accrue until the work is completed. These liquidated damages are in addition to excess costs of repurchase under the Termination clause.

1.3 PHYSICAL DATA (APR 1984) (FAR 52.236-4)

Data and information furnished or referred to below is for the Contractor's information. The Government shall not be responsible for any interpretation of or conclusion drawn from the data or information by the Contractor.

(a) The indications of physical conditions on the drawings and in the specifications are the result of site investigations by surveys. The general shape of the existing section of channel to be dredged is shown by cross sections on the Contract drawings.

(b) Weather Conditions. Under ordinary conditions, the mean tidal range is about 1.5 feet. The height of tide is largely dependent on the force, direction, and duration of the wind. Strong northerly winds may depress the water surface as much as, and in some instances more than 2.0 feet below Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW), while southerly winds may raise the water surface as much as, and in some instances more than

3.0 feet above MLLW.

(c) Transportation Facilities. The immediate vicinity is served by railroad, highway, and deep and shallow draft channels.

DOCUMENT 00 73 00.01 45 Page 2

(d) Other Information. Channel traffic consists of deep draft ships, small boats of various sizes, fishing vessels, tugs, and tows consisting of a tug and one or more barges. Traffic will interfere with dredging operations to some extent.

Contractor should expect to encounter strong currents in all the dredging sections.

1.4 EQUIPMENT OWNERSHIP AND OPERATING EXPENSE SCHEDULE(MAR 1995)

(a) This special contract requirement does not apply to terminations. See 52.249-5000, Basis for Settlement of Proposals, and FAR Part 49.

(b) Allowable cost for construction and marine plant and equipment in sound workable condition owned or controlled and furnished by a contractor or subcontractor at any tier shall be based on actual cost data for each piece of equipment or groups of similar serial and series for which the Government can determine both ownership and operating costs from the con-tractor's accounting records. When both ownership and operating costs cannot be determined for any piece of equipment or groups of similar serial or series equipment from the contractor's accounting records, costs for that equipment shall be based upon the applicable provisions of EP 1110-1-8, Construction Equipment Ownership and Operating Expense Schedule, Region VI. Working conditions shall be considered to be average for determining equipment rates using the schedule unless specified otherwise by the contracting officer. For equipment not included in the schedule, rates for comparable pieces of equipment may be used or a rate may be developed using the formula provided in the schedule. For forward pricing, the schedule in effect at the time of negotiations shall apply. For retroactive pricing, the schedule in effect at the time the work was performed shall apply.

(c) Equipment rental costs are allowable, subject to the provisions of FAR 31.105(d)(ii) and FAR 31.205-36, Rental Costs. Rates for equipment rented from an organization under common control, lease-purchase arrangements, and sale-leaseback arrangements, will be determined using the schedule, except that actual rates will be used for equipment leased from an organization under common control that has an established practice of leasing the same or similar equipment to unaffiliated lessees.

(d) When actual equipment costs are proposed and the total amount of the pricing action exceeds the SAT, the contracting officer shall request the contractor to submit either certified cost or pricing data, or partial/limited data, as appropriate. The data shall be submitted on Standard Form 1411, Contract Pricing Proposal Cover Sheet.

NOTE: A copy of EP 1110-1-8, "CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT OWNERSHIP AND OPERATING EXPENSE SCHEDULE," is available at the following website:

1.5 (SCR-S-102) CONTRACTOR SUPPLY AND USE OF ELECTRONIC SOFTWARE FOR

PROCESSING DAVIS-BACON ACT CERTIFIED LABOR PAYROLLS (April 2011)

The contractor is encouraged to use a commercially-available electronic system to process and submit certified payrolls electronically to the Government. The requirements for preparing, processing and providing certified labor payrolls are established by the Davis-Bacon Act as stated in FAR 52.222-8, PAYROLLS AND BASIC RECORDS and FAR 52.222-13, COMPLIANCE

WITH DAVIS-BACON AND RELATED ACT REGULATIONS.

DOCUMENT 00 73 00.01 45 Page 3

If the contractor elects to use an electronic Davis-Bacon payroll processing system, then the contractor shall be responsible for obtaining and providing for all access, licenses, and other services required to provide for receipt, processing, certifying, electronically transmitting to the Government, and storing weekly payrolls and other data required for the contractor to comply with Davis-Bacon and related Act regulations. When the contractor uses an electronic Davis-Bacon payroll system, the electronic payroll service shall be used by the contractor to prepare, process, and maintain the relevant payrolls and basic records during all work under this construction contract and the electronic payroll service shall be capable of preserving these payrolls and related basic records for the required 3 years after contract completion. If the contractor chooses to use an electronic Davis-Bacon payroll system, then the contractor shall obtain and provide electronic system access to the Government, as required to comply with the Davis-Bacon and related Act regulations over the duration of this construction contract. The access shall include electronic review access by the Government contract administration office to the electronic payroll processing system used by the contractor.

The contractor's provision and use of an electronic payroll processing system shall meet the following basic functional criteria: commercially available; compliant with appropriate Davis Bacon Act payroll provisions in the FAR; able to accommodate the required numbers of employees and subcontractors planned to be employed under the contract; capable of producing an Excel spreadsheet-compatible electronic output of weekly payroll records (format at http://rms.usace.army.mil/) for export in an Excel spreadsheet to be imported into the contractor's Quality Control System (QCS) version of Resident Management System (RMS), that in turn shall export payroll data to the Government's Resident Management System (RMS); demonstrated security of data and data entry rights; ability to produce contractor-certified electronic versions of weekly payroll data;

ability to identify erroneous entries and track the data/time of all versions of the certified Davis Bacon payrolls submitted to the government over the life of the contract; capable of generating a durable record copy, that is, a CD or DVD and PDF file record of data from the system database at end of the contract closeout. This durable record copy of data from the electronic Davis-Bacon payroll processing system shall be provided to the Government during contract closeout.

All contractor-incurred costs related to the contractor's provision and use of an electronic payroll processing service shall be included in the contractor's price for the overall work under the contract. The costs for Davis-Bacon Act compliance using electronic payroll processing services shall not be a separately bid/proposed or reimbursed item under this contract.

1.2.1.3 Dredging Partial Payment

Partial payment will be based on approximate quantities determined by fathometer soundings or sweepings taken behind the dredge. The Contractor may use its own hydrographic surveys to determine quantities for pay requests, but final quantities will be based on Government Before-Dredging and After-Dredging surveys.

1.2.1.4 Measurement

The material removed will be measured by cubic yard in place, by means of soundings taken before and after dredging. The total quantity of dredged material will be the theoretical quantity between the bottom surface shown by fathometer soundings of the last survey made "before-dredging" and the bottom surface shown by the fathometer soundings of a survey made "after-dredging", within the limits of the overdepth and side and end slopes, less deductions that may be required for misplaced material.

1.2.1.5 Electronic Positioning

The horizontal control points shown are the control points the Government will use to perform electronic surveys on the waterway. The Government does not guarantee permanent access to these control points, therefore, it may be necessary for the Contractor to establish its own network of survey points from these survey points or from other U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USCGS) monuments. Location and description of the horizontal control points which the Government plans to use to perform electronic surveys on the channels are available at the Port Arthur Resident Office.

SECTION 01 22 00.10 Page 3

The Contractor will be responsible for establishing its own reference line to conduct hydrographic surveys and dredging operations if electronic positioning equipment is not used.

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 dikes 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.

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 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.

3.1.1 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.

3.1.2 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.

3.1.3 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.

3.1.4 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.

3.1.5 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
