SECTION 01 00 00

STATEMENT OF WORK – DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS

1. SCOPE OF WORK:

1.1. DREDGING: The work to be performed under this contract consists of dredging at various locations within the Mobile District. These sites include both deep and shallow draft projects and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway as well as coastal restoration projects, beach nourishment projects and any other project requiring the use of a dredge in Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida. These sites include deep draft coastal inlets along the Gulf Coast, as well as coastal restoration projects, beach nourishment projects and any other project requiring the use of a dredge in Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida. The scope of this contract also provides for any other type or size dredge other than those specifically called for in the specifications. The scope also includes supplying dredge related supplies and equipment such as tugs, barges, cranes, geotextile tubes, sheet pile, land based heavy equipment for disposal operations, and other marine equipment associated with channels and coastal restoration projects. Other marine equipment or materials such as geotextile tubes, sheet pile, additional hand labor crews, environmental monitors, divers, etc., that are not specifically called for within these specifications will be negotiated with the individual task order. The Contracting Officer may elect to negotiate cubic yard task orders for some projects in lieu of the standard dredge rental rate.

1.2. DREDGE PLANT: The work to be performed under this contract consists of furnishing an ocean certified hydraulic cutterhead pipeline dredge with pump discharge of not less than 30-inch diameter and must be able to work in exposed marine environments along the Gulf Coast that are exposed to rough sea conditions such as the outer Mobile Bar channel. The dredge will be complete with all necessary materials, supplies, (including fuel, power, and water) labor, and transportation for maintenance dredging operations as specified in the above paragraph. More specific dredge and attendant plant requirements are discussed below.

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

IDIQ Contract for Rental of 30 Inch Cutterhead Pipeline Dredge for Solicitation No.

01 00 00 - 3 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 equipped with a ladder pump and 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 (A ladder pump is defined by Mobile District as a dredge pump installed no less than one-third of the distance down the ladder.) Additional pump size and/or horsepower above the minimum listed below does not justify a competitive advantage in the number of hours in the bid schedule. The dredge shall be capable of efficiently dredging the Mobile Bar channel that at times experiences high velocity currents, ground swells, etc. 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 -

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 will be considered non-responsive.

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. The number of

IDIQ Contract for Rental of 30 Inch Cutterhead Pipeline Dredge for Solicitation No.

01 00 00 - 4 hours shown in the TABLE is estimated. The actual hours may be more or less than what is shown.

Dredge Size 100% Hours 30 inch Basic Dredge 3411 With traveling spuds 2899

Additional allowance in dredge production will be given for dredges with traveling spuds (spud carriage). A 15% reduction is shown in the table hours for traveling spuds.

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 capable of traveling 20’ utilizing a traveling spud while the Government representative is present. If it is determined that the traveling spud does not meet this requirement then the contractors bid price will revert to the converted price based on the number of hours in the table above without a traveling spud. In addition, the contractor may elect to bid based on the number of 100% pay hours without a traveling spud and elect to add a traveling spud later in the contract.

The 100% bid price for the dredge will then be converted based on the number of hours with a traveling spud provided the traveling spud meets the requirements herein. The following equation was used to calculate the hours in the table for the bid schedule.

Equation: (1-(0.15 for traveling spud)) X Basic Dredge hours for the dredge = Number of hours for bid schedule

Example: Dredge A is equipped with a traveling spud. Applying the equation yields: (1-(0.15)) X 3411 = 2899 hours.

2.3. ATTENDANT PLANT:

2.3.1. Attendant plant shall be composed of such barges, fuel, water, pipe derrick, anchor, etc., floating, submerged, and slip joint discharge pipe, and other attendant or auxiliary plant as may be required for operations under these specifications whether or not these items are specifically mentioned. The auxiliary and attendant plant shall be in good condition and of sufficient size and capability to efficiently serve the dredge.

2.3.2. The Contractor will have available at all times during the duration of work a minimum amount of 30,000 feet combination of floating and submerged pipeline.

The Contractor shall determine for himself the lengths of floating and submerged line necessary. If the Contractor’s combination of floating and submerged line lengths is found to be inefficient, the Contractor may be directed to adjust the

IDIQ Contract for Rental of 30 Inch Cutterhead Pipeline Dredge for Solicitation No.

01 00 00 - 5 combination thereof to a more efficient combination all at no increase in cost to the contract.

2.3.3. The attendant plant shall include a minimum of two vessels, each a twin-screw shallow draft dredge tender. Both vessels shall be of sufficient size and horsepower, capable of performing all duties necessary to efficiently carry out dredging operations in normal currents and conditions and both shall be available at all times with one operator and one deckhand each to insure efficient operations. In the event the dredge is not self-propelled, the attendant plant shall include one additional towing vessel, with sufficient horsepower to be determined by the Contractor, to be available at all times to adequately move the dredging plant to allow passage of traffic, to move the dredging plant from one location to another, to completely move the dredge plant to safe harbor in case of adverse weather condition, and to assist in the total dredging operation. No division in pay will be made for the additional towing vessel and the two dredge tenders.

They will be considered as part of the dredging plant and shall be in operation at all times regardless of the pay status of the dredge.

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 the work. Equipment will be in condition to render efficient, economical and continuous service and shall be equipped with all mechanical devices and equipment required by Federal, State and local authorities, provided that nothing in the paragraph shall be construed to limit the authority of the Contracting Officer to prohibit the use of any piece of equipment which, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, is mechanically unsafe for use. Equipment which the

IDIQ Contract for Rental of 30 Inch Cutterhead Pipeline Dredge for Solicitation No.

01 00 00 - 9

Contracting Officer or his authorized representative considers does not perform in a satisfactory or efficient manner shall be repaired or replaced by the Contractor at the Contractor's expense within 24 hours after notification by the Contracting Officer or his authorized representative. Failure of the equipment to perform to the satisfaction of the Contracting Officer, and failure by the Contractor to effect timely replacement of the unsatisfactory equipment, shall be sufficient cause for the Government to procure replacement equipment and charge the Contractor for any excess costs associated therewith. The equipment shall be registered by the Contractor with all Federal, State and local authorities requiring registration, and registration plates or other evidence of registration shall be displayed in accordance with the requirements of the registering authority.

3.2. INSPECTION OF PLANT: Upon arrival of the dredge and attendant plant, it will be inspected for any deficiency in safety or health requirements. The Contractor should have already inspected the plant and corrected all deficiencies found. In the absence of any deficiencies, the plant will be put to work. In the event that any plant is deficient safety wise or health wise to prevent safe operations, the plant will not be put to work, but will continue in a nonpayment status until the safety deficiencies are corrected to the satisfaction of the Contracting Officer, at which time the plant will be put to work.

3.3. TERMINATION OF WORK: It is anticipated that upon completion of the excavation assignment(s) all the plant will be released to the Contractor.

However, the Contracting officer, by written notice, may terminate any task order, in whole or in part, when it is in the Government's interest. If any task order is terminated, the Government shall be liable only for payment under the payment provisions of this contract for services rendered before the effective date of termination.

3.4 Plant Delivery: For bidding purposes, the assumed mobilization point will be the mouth of the Mobile River, Mobile, AL however the actual mobilization point will be determined upon issuance of the first task order. If the actual mobilization point differs from this assumed mobilization point, then an adjustment for mobilization will be determined by computing the actual mileage difference between the two sites (either plus or minus depending upon whether the contractor’s plant transits more or less distance to the actual site from their original dredge location), by the paid rate for the Mobilization Bar to Bar bid item.

The actual point of delivery may be determined by the Contracting Officer as any location within the Mobile Harbor as described in paragraph 1 of this section on the basis of shoaling rates and channel conditions.

3.5. PRIVATE WORK RELEASE: By mutual agreement of both the Contractor and the Contracting Officer, the dredge may be released from this contract for short periods of time to perform work for others in the same vicinity. The dredge

01 00 00 - 10 shall, however, be returned to operations under this contract within 48 hours after notice by the Contracting Officer to resume such contract work.

4. PHYSICAL DATA:

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

4.1. General: The indications of physical conditions on the drawings (if provided in the solicitation package) and in the specifications are the result of site investigations and surveys.

4.2. Location: The work to be done under these specifications is located anywhere within the boundaries of the Mobile Harbor project.

4.3. Subsurface Investigation: Contractor's Investigation Responsibility: The Contractor should make his own investigation of submerged, surface and overhead structures in the work areas and other locations he finds necessary to traverse. The exact location, depths and heights of submarine cables, pipes, highlines, docks, piers, bulkheads bridges, etc. (as applicable), are not known and it will be necessary for the Contractor to ascertain interference problems and notify the respective owners in advance of dredging operations. The Contractor shall make all arrangements with the respective owners of the structure to assure satisfactory completion of dredging in the vicinity with a minimum interruption of service, and shall perform his operations in such a manner as will avoid damage to these facilities. Considering the above specified structures and any others the Contractor might find in the work areas, the Contractor shall not dredge within 50 feet of and/or dispose of dredged material in the vicinity of any marine structure.

If the marine structures are damaged by the dredging operations, it will be the responsibility of the Contractor to repair or rebuild the damaged facility at no cost to the Government.

4.4. Weather Conditions: The sites of the work are exposed to local disturbances in Mobile Bay and upper Gulf of Mexico which may cause suspension of the work for short periods of time. Generally the sites of the work do not provide safe refuge from tropical hurricanes which may occur from June to December. Should a hurricane occur during the course of the work, it will be the responsibility of the Contractor to select a safe harbor. There are no known unusual currents at any of the sites except during extreme tidal events when velocities of 2 to 4 miles per hour may be expected; however, the Contractor should investigate all the sites of the work and determine for himself the requirements of the work. The mean tidal range is approximately 1.5 feet. The working season extends over the entire year. However, the work area(s) are affected by extended periods of strong winds, predominately from the South or Southeast. Lost time due to opposing
