1.3.1.2 Dredging Partial Payment

Partial payment will be based on approximate quantities determined by fathometer soundings or sweepings taken behind the dredge. It will be the Contractor's responsibility to use its own hydrographic surveys to determine partial quantities for pay requests, but final quantities of each section will be based on Government Before-Dredging and After-Dredging surveys. Monthly partial payments will be made up to 75% of the Government Before-Dredge quantity. The remaining 25% will be made in the first monthly partial payment after the Government has conducted its final After-Dredge surveys and the dredging section has been accepted.

1.3.1.3 Government Surveys

The Government will use the tide staffs shown on the drawings for vertical control. Real Time Kinematic (RTK) or Virtual Reference Station (VRS) will not be used. Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) will be used for horizontal control.

Processing survey data will be performed with HYPACK software. Volumes will be computed using the Kingfisher Method (updated 5/6/2016), by average end area using cross sectional survey lines. Before and After Dredge cross sections will be run on 200-foot stations, Point of Curvatures (PC), Point of Tangency (PT) and at transitions in the template. If the Contractor elects to use HYPACK software, the Government will provide the survey line files (.lnw) for the Contractor's use.

1.3.1.4 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.

1.3.1.5 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

SECTION 01 22 00.10 Page 4

Survey (USCGS) monuments. Location and description of the horizontal control points which the Government plans to use to perform electronic surveys on the channels provided on the drawings accompanying these specifications. The Contractor shall be responsible for establishing its own reference line to conduct hydrographic surveys and dredging operations if electronic positioning equipment is not used.

1.3.1.6 Surveys During Progress of Work

Contract depth will be determined by surveys taken behind the dredge as work progresses. The Contractor shall take progress soundings or sweepings and submit drawings of the surveys.

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 will 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.

1.17 QUANTITY SURVEYS

(1) Quantity surveys shall be conducted, and the data derived from these surveys shall be used in computing the quantities of work performed and the actual construction completed and in place.

(2) The Contractor shall conduct the original and final surveys and surveys for any periods for which progress payments are requested. These surveys shall be conducted under the direction of a representative of the Contracting Officer, unless the Contracting officer waives this requirement in a specific instance. The Government will make the computations that are necessary to determine the quantities of work performed or finally in place. The Contractor shall make the computations based on the surveys for any periods for which progress payments are requested.

(3) Promptly upon completing a survey, the Contractor shall submit the originals of field notes and other records relating to the survey or to the layout of the work to the Contracting Officer, who will use them as necessary to determine the amount of progress payments. The Contractor shall retain copies of the material submitted to the Contracting Officer.

1.18 FINAL EXAMINATION AND ACCEPTANCE

As soon as practicable after the completion of the entire work or any section thereof, if the work is divided into sections and in the opinion of the Contracting Officer will not be subject to damage by further operations under this Contract, this work will be thoroughly examined at the expense of the Government by sounding or by sweeping, or both, as directed. If shoals, lumps, or other lack of Contract depth are disclosed by this examination, the Contractor will be required to remove same by dragging the bottom or by dredging at the Contract rate for dredging but, if the bottom is soft and the shoal areas are small and form no material obstruction to navigation, the removal of the shoal may be waived at the discretion of the Contracting Officer. The Contractor or its authorized representative will be notified when soundings or sweepings are to be made and will be permitted to accompany the survey party. When the area is found to be in a satisfactory condition it will be accepted finally. If more than two sounding or sweeping operations by the Government over an area are necessary, by reason of work for the removal of shoals disclosed at a prior sounding or sweeping, the cost of the second and any subsequent sounding or sweeping operations will be charged against the Contractor at the rate of $ 6,353.00 per day for each day in which the Government plant is engaged in sounding or sweeping or is enroute to or from the site or held at or near the site for these operations.

1.18.1 Acceptance

Final acceptance of the whole or a part of the work and the deductions or corrections of deductions made thereon will not be reopened after having once been made, except on evidence of collusion, fraud, or obvious error, and the acceptance of a completed section will not change the time of payment of the retained percentages of the whole or any part of the work.

1.19 SHOALS

If, before this Contract is completed, shoals occur in a section previously

SECTION 35 20 23.16 45 Page 11 accepted, redredging at the Contract price, within the limit of available funds, may be done if agreeable to both the Contractor and the Contracting Officer.

1.20 UNANTICIPATED SHOALING

During the course of this Contract, unanticipated dredging requirements may develop that require the use of the Contractor and Contractor's plant. The dredging required would be similar in scope to that required under the current contract. Dredging would consist of limited portions of a section of channel, intended to remove critical shoals hindering commercial navigation. If such a need arises, the Contracting Officer may issue a Request for Proposal for the work under the CONTRACT CLAUSE entitled CHANGES, and the work performed upon the execution of a bilateral contract modification.

1.21 VARIATIONS IN ESTIMATED QUANTITIES - DREDGING

Where the quantity of a pay item in this Contract is an estimated quantity and where the actual quantity of material within the required dredging prism varies, an equitable adjustment will be processed in accordance with FAR 52.211-18, VARIATION IN ESTIMATED QUANTITY (April 1984). The equitable adjustment applies only to the quantity within the required dredging prism, which does not include the allowable overdepth.

If the total quantity of material to be paid for and actually removed under this Contract exceeds the limit established by FAR 52.211-18, VARIATION IN ESTIMATED QUANTITY (April 1984), an additional time will be allowed at the rate of 1 calendar day for each 10,000 cubic yards in excess of the established limit. The Contractor is not to exceed the estimated quantities in the Contract Line Items without prior authorization and only with a signed modification issued by the Contracting Officer.

1.22 CONTINUITY OF WORK

No payment will be made for work done in an area designated by the Contracting Officer until the full depth required under this Contract is secured in the whole of this area, unless prevented by ledge rock, nor will payment be made for excavation in an area not adjacent to and in prolongation of areas where full depth has been secured except by decision of the Contracting Officer. If a non-adjacent area is excavated to full depth during the operations carried on under this Contract, payment for the work therein may be deferred until the required depth has been reached in the area intervening. The Contractor may be required to suspend dredging when the gages or ranges cannot be seen or properly followed.

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 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

SECTION 35 20 23.16 45 Page 13 listed in Appendix 1 - QUANTITY SUMMARY TABLE.

3.1.4 Side And End Slopes

Dredging of the side and end slopes are to 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 is to be construed to prevent payment for the removal of shoals performed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Paragraph FINAL EXAMINATION AND ACCEPTANCE or Paragraph SHOALING.
