IDIQ Contract for Rental of 27-30 inch W91278-17-B-0004 Cutterhead Pipeline Dredge for Dredging Mobile District Navigation Projects in Alabama, Mississippi and Florida notification (not less than 60 days, in writing from the COR) will be given to the contractor to provide the second dredge.

1.3. DREDGED MATERIAL DISPOSAL: All removed materials will be placed in approved disposal areas as directed by the Contracting Officer or his Authorized Representative and as discussed in these specifications.

1.4. GENERAL: All work, material and services not expressly called for in these specifications which may be necessary for complete and proper operations to carry out the contract in good faith shall be performed, furnished and installed by the Contractor at no increase in cost to the Government. The Contracting Officer or his Authorized Representative may at any time require the Contractor to relocate to a different dredging site should shoaling rates, or other circumstances so dictate. The Government reserves the right to contract additional dredges to perform dredging work on the same projects and geographical area.

2. DREDGE AND ATTENDANT PLANT REQUIREMENTS:

2.1. DREDGE REQUIREMENTS: The dredge offered shall be capable of continuous operation with a minimum horsepower rate as shown below which includes the horsepower applied on the main dredge pump (and ladder pump, if applicable). For the requested dredge size, most of the work that is anticipated to be performed under this contract is considered a “walking job,” therefore, additional pump size and/or horsepower does not justify a competitive advantage in the number of hours in the bid schedule. The Contractor shall have available for use at all times a variety of serviceable interchangeable pump impellers (2 minimum), a spare pump case, and a spare serviceable cutter to permit the dredge to operate efficiently under varying conditions described in paragraph entitled, "PHYSICAL DATA". The dredge shall be capable of dredging upstream as well as downstream and will so operate as directed by the Contracting Officer.

The dredge shall be capable of dredging the full bottom dimension of up to 400 feet and depth of 52 feet, plus minimal over-swinging through one swing (cut) of the cutterhead from a given set of the dredge subject to a velocity of less than 2 feet per second given normal conditions. The cut coverage shall be accomplished in one set of the dredge and at or before the dredge reaches its normal set-ahead dredge spud positioning. That cut coverage is expected to be made while at the dredge’s maximum walking speed. The swing of the cutterhead will be accomplished through the use of conventional dredge swing anchors or previously placed deadmen. The dredge shall be equipped with an electronic positioning system and include the equipment which will record such data.

2.2. HORSEPOWER REQUIREMENTS: Dredge Minimum Horsepower - In

using the following table, only one (1) main dredge pump on board the dredge shall be used. The horsepower of auxiliary dredge pumps shall not be

01 00 00 - 3 considered. Horsepower is equal to the correlating connected brake horsepower applied to the dredge pump. Those dredges which have less horsepower or have less discharge diameter than the minimum shown below for the size dredge bid will be considered non-responsive.

27-inch Discharge main pump(s) 3750 H.P. (min) ladder pump 900 H.P. (min) 30-inch Discharge main pump(s) 5000 H.P. (min) ladder pump 1200 H.P. (min)

For the purpose of bidding and evaluating bids, it will be considered the dredge will be used for the number of hours (100% Pay Time) given in the following table. However, this is not to be construed by the Contractor that the Government guarantees that the dredge will be used for this number of hours. Bidders should use the hours given in the following TABLE for the appropriate size dredge that is being bid. Should the contractor have a dredge with a discharge diameter between 27 and 30 inches, the number of 100% Pay Time Hours to be placed on the bidding schedule shall be computed by the difference in the square diameter of the discharge pipe between the hours given in the TABLE for the 27 and 30 inch dredges, as applicable. The number of hours shown in the TABLE is estimated. The actual hours may be more or less than what is shown.

Dredge Size 100% Hours Work for Others 100% Hours 27 inch Basic Dredge 4211 27 inch Basic Dredge 500

With ladder pump 3579 With ladder pump 425 With traveling spuds 3579 With traveling spuds 425 With ladder and t. spuds 2948 With ladder and t. spuds 350

30 inch Basic Dredge 3411 30 inch Basic Dredge 405

With ladder pump 2900 With ladder pump 344 With traveling spuds 2900 With traveling spuds 344 With ladder and t. spuds 2388 With ladder and t. spuds 284

Differences in the basic dredge hours (27 and 30 inch) are computed on the difference in the square diameter squared of the discharge pipe.

Additional allowance in dredge production will be given for dredges with ladder pumps and/or traveling spuds (spud carriage). A 15% reduction is shown in the table hours for ladder pumps or traveling spuds. (A ladder pump is defined by Mobile District as a dredge pump installed no less than one-third of the distance down the ladder.)

The traveling spud must have a minimum of 20’ of travel to be considered for bid purposes. A pre-award inspection of the dredge will be conducted by the Government and the contractor must adequately demonstrate the dredge is

01 00 00 - 4 equipped in the inspector’s office and a copy of the Contractor's survey plan.

A written discussion of the method the Contractor intends to use in order to satisfy these requirements shall be included in the Contractor's bidding schedule discussions.

2.3.8. BOOSTER PUMP: The Contractor shall furnish a booster pump within 20 calendar days of notice by the Contracting Officer. The brake horsepower of the booster pump shall be equal to or greater than 80 percent of the brake horsepower of the mobilized dredge pump. The diameter of the booster pump discharge shall be the same diameter as that of the mobilized dredge. The Contracting Officer may direct the demobilization of the booster pump at any time.

2.3.8(a) Booster Pump Requirements - For the purpose of bidding and evaluating bids, the booster will use the number of hours (100% Pay Time) given in the following table for the appropriate size dredge, however, this is not to be construed by the Contractor that the Government guarantees that the booster will be used for this number of hours. Bidders should use the hours given in the following table for the size dredge that is being bid.

100% Hrs

27-inch Discharge 494 30-inch Discharge 400

3. PERFORMANCE:

3.1. GENERAL: Upon initiation of work, the Contractor shall prosecute the work assigned him with faithfulness and energy, and at all times endeavor to meet the schedule of excavation (dredging) and disposal operations as determined by the Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall be expected to conduct excavation dredging and disposal operations seven days per week, twenty-four hours per day, including those days, which have been declared by Congress to be legal holidays for per diem employees of the Federal Government (applies only to the rental portion of this contract). The order of work to be performed under this contract cannot be determined except as the work progresses. The Contractor shall be expected to pre-construct dredge pipelines needed for this work. The Government will facilitate this by issuing excavation assignments far enough in advance for the Contractor to accomplish the pre-positioned pipeline construction. The Contractor shall bear all direct, overhead and collateral expenses incidental to the operation, upkeep and repair of all items of plant. He shall maintain the plant in a good state of repair, shall arrange for a supply of renewal parts to be on hand when needed for all plant and shall provide and maintain efficient personnel for each item of plant employed in connection with

01 00 00 - 10

21.3. The Contractor shall provide that every supervisor located at the job site(s) shall attend a "Staff" safety meeting held at least monthly. These safety meetings shall review, plan and establish safety activities involved with this particular project. Documentation of these meetings shall include the employee’s name, job title, date(s) of safety meeting, subject(s) of each meeting, summary of actions, and other appropriate information. All such meeting documentation shall be furnished as an attachment to the daily Contractor's Quality Control Report (QCR) within three days after the meeting.

21.4. A representative of the Government shall attend any "Indoctrination" safety briefing and all "On-The-Job" and "Staff" safety meetings while on this project.

These briefings and meetings shall be conducted throughout all phases of any work done under this contract and shall include the Contractor and any subcontractors.

22. PAYMENTS:

22.1. Rental Bid Items: Pay time shall begin on the date and hour when the dredge actually commences operations on the initial assignment and material starts discharging from the pipeline. Payment for work on a section will stop upon completion of work in the section. There is no eligible 70% Pay Time or 40% Pay Time prior to eligible 100% Pay Time. Details regarding the payment items for moving between shoals and projects, 100%, 70%, 40%, and 0% pay times are covered within this paragraph.

22.1.1. 100% Pay Time: The following will be considered effective time and will be paid for monthly at the contract price per hour calculated to the nearest one sixtieth (1/60) hour; actual time of dredging when the dredge is under operation with the cutterhead moving material, and such material is being passed through the pipeline and satisfactorily disposed.

22.1.1.2. Booster Pump 100% Pay Time: When the dredge is under operation and material is being passed through the pipeline and booster, the booster will be paid Booster Pump 100% Pay Time (Bid Item No. 7). When the dredge is in another pay status other than 100% the booster will be in a non-pay status unless the activity is covered under Stand-By-Time Booster Pump as described in paragraph 22.1.3.10.

22.1.2. 70% Pay Time: The following time will be paid for monthly at 70% of the 100% pay time for effective dredging:

22.1.2.1. Actual time lost due to moving and changing swinging anchors, changing swinging wires to previously prepared pennants, and making necessary changes in pipeline or pontoon lines as are necessitated by the progress of the work, such as adding pontoons to the floating lines or making changes at point of

01 00 00 - 32 rate, to and from the work area and designated dockage point, and at the 40% pay rate while the dredge is shut down.

22.1.3.10 Stand By Time - Booster Pump: Stand-by-time will be paid at 20% of the 100% booster pump rate. When more economical and efficient, the Contracting Officer may elect to place the booster in a standby status in lieu of demobilization. The Contracting Officer shall approve the standby location in writing. During the standby period the Contractor will light, secure and maintain the plant until it returns to operation or is demobilized. When in a standby status, the booster will not be moved from the approved location of standby unless approved by the Contracting Officer. In the event of two consecutive booster pump assignments, the Contracting Officer may elect to assign the dredge to a non-booster pump assignment, to allow the Contractor sufficient time to set up the booster pump and pipeline for the second assignment. If such a strategy were implemented, the time during the interim (non-booster) assignment will not be covered under the Booster Pump Stand-By-Time.

22.1.4. 0% (NON-PAY TIME): Payment will not be made for:

22.1.4.1. Lay time after arrival at new location when such time is incurred at the direction of the Contractor's representative, or when through negligence of the Contractor the necessary equipment is not available at the new location.

22.1.4.2. Shutdowns to stop leaks in pipeline, repair to dredge, pull a line together when the joints open up, replace damaged pontoons, except when pontoons are damaged by drift. Discharge line will be considered in condition when pumping is commenced and stops for reasons enumerated above will be considered as repair time.

22.1.4.3. Any time or purpose other than that enumerated above, except for mobilization and demobilization, including cleaning plugged line, removing misplaced material, dredging for others, shutdowns due to safety, shutdowns due to refueling, insufficient crew size, etc.

22.1.4.4. Any time the dredge is moved from the site of work at the Contractor's convenience.

22.1.4.5. Hours of darkness when the contractor chooses not to work. If the contractor chooses to place both crew shifts on daytime hours, the contractor will be 0% pay status at night.

22.1.4.6. When the dredge shuts down for any reason or purpose enumerated above, the ensuing time shall remain under non-pay status until the cause of the shutdown shall have been removed, and no claim shall be allowed for other work performed during that time except under situations where the Inspector
