Data Appropriately Archived e-mail, Section 3.2.11; G, CENWP-EC-V

1.3 PAYMENT

No separate payment will be made for installation, operation, and maintenance of the DQM certified system as specified herein for the duration of the dredging operations; all costs in connection therewith shall be considered a subsidiary obligation of the Contractor and covered under the Contract unit prices for dredging in the bidding schedule.

1.4 NATIONAL DREDGING QUALITY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM CERTIFICATION

a. The Contractor is required to have a current certification from the DQM for the hopper dredge instrumentation system to be used under this Contract. Criteria for certification shall be based on the most recent

SECTION 35 20 23.06 82 Page 3 specification posted on the DQM website (http://dqm.usace.army.mil/Specifications/Index.aspx). Compliance with these criteria shall be verified by annual on-site quality assurance (QA) checks conducted by DQM Support Center Data Acquisition and Analysis Team, and by periodic review of the transmitted data. DQM Certification is valid for one year from the date of the annual QA checks. Certification is contingent upon the system's ability to continuously meet the performance requirements as outlined in sections PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS and CONTRACTOR QUALITY CONTROL. If issues with data quality are not corrected within 48 hours, the system certification shall be revoked and additional QA checks by the Data Acquisition Team may be necessary. Annual DQM Certification shall be based on:

(1) A series of QA checks as described in section COMPLIANCE

QUALITY ASSURANCE CHECKS

(2) Verification of data acquisition and transfer as described in section PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS

(3) Review of the DREDGE PLANT INSTRUMENTATION PLAN (DPIP) as described in section 1.5

b. The Contractor must have personnel who are familiar with the system instrumentation and who have the ability to recalibrate the sensors on site during the QA process. The dredging Contractor must coordinate pickup times and locations and provide transportation to and from any platform with a DQM system to team personnel in a timely manner. As a general rule, Data Acquisition and Analysis Team personnel will come with PPE consisting of hardhats, steel toe boots, and life jackets. If additional safety equipment is needed, such as eye protection, safety harnesses, work gloves or personal location beacons, these items must be provided to the team while on site. It is the dredging Contractor's obligation to inform the QA team if the location designated for the QA checks has any site specific safety concerns prior to their arrival on site.

c. The owner or operator of the hopper dredge must contact the DQM at DQM-AnnualQA@rpsgroup.com on an annual basis at least three weeks prior to the certification expiration, to schedule QA checks for renewal.

This notification is meant to make the Data Acquisition Team aware of a target date for the annual QA checks for the dredge. At least one week prior to the target date, the Contractor must contact the Data Acquisition team and verbally coordinate a specific date and time. The Contractor must then follow-up this conversation with a written e-mail confirmation. The owner/operator must coordinate the QA checks with all local authorities, including but not limited to, the local USACE Contracting officer.

d. Re-certification is required for any yard work which produces modification to displacement (i.e. change in dredge lines, repositioning or repainting hull marks), modification to bin volume (change in bin dimensions or addition or subtraction of structure) or changes in sensor type or location; these changes must be reported in the sensor log section of the DPIP. A system does not have to be transmitting data between jobs, however in order to retain its certification during this period, the system sensors or hardware should not be disconnected or removed from the dredge. If the system is powered down, calibration coefficients must be retained.

SECTION 35 20 23.06 82 Page 4

1.5 DREDGE PLANT INSTRUMENTATION PLAN (DPIP)

The Contractor must have a digital copy of the DPIP on file with the National DQM Support Center. The Contractor must also maintain a copy of the DPIP on the dredge while working on site which is easily accessible to government personnel at all times. This document must describe the sensors used, configuration of the system, how sensor data will be collected, how quality control on the data will be performed, and how sensors/data reporting equipment will be calibrated and repaired if they fail. A description of computed dredge specific data and how the sensor data will be transmitted to the DQM Database will also be included. The Contractor must submit to the DQM Support Center any addendum or modifications made to the plan, subsequent to its original submission, prior to start of work.

The DPIP must include the following as a minimum:

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 REQUIREMENTS FOR REPORTED DATA

a. The Contractor must provide, operate and maintain all hardware and software to meet these specifications. The Contractor shall be responsible for replacement, repair and calibration of sensors and other necessary data acquisition equipment needed to supply the required data.

b. Repairs must be completed within 48 hours of any sensor failure.

Upon completion of a repair, replacement, installation, modification or calibration, the Contractor must notify the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR). The COR may request re-calibration of sensors or other hardware components at any time during the Contract as deemed necessary.

c. The Contractor must keep a log of sensor repair, replacement, installation, modification and calibration in the dredge's onboard copy of the DPIP. The log must contain a three-year history of sensor maintenance to include: the time of sensor failures (and subsequent repairs), the time and results of sensor calibrations, the time of sensor replacements, and the time that backup sensor systems are initiated to provide required data. It must also contain the name of the person responsible for the sensor work.

d. Sensors installed must be capable of collecting parameters within specified accuracies and resolutions indicated in the following subsections.

e. Reported sensor values for ullage, draft and draghead depth should represent a weighted average with the highest and lowest values not included in the calculated average for the given interval. This information should be documented in the DPIP sections that say "Calculations done external to the instrumentation".

3.1.1 Date and Time

The date and time must be reported to the nearest second and referenced to UTC time based on a 24 hour format; mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss. This reported time must be such that it cannot be modified in any computer. One possible solution is to use the time reported by the GPS in the NMEA string.

SECTION 35 20 23.06 82 Page 8

3.1.2 Load Number

A load number must document the end of a disposal event. Load numbering will begin at number 1 at the start of the Contract, and will be incremented by 1 at the completion of each disposal event or emptying of the hopper. Whenever possible, the load number must be calculated off of the sensors aboard the dredge, and must be a mathematically repeatable routine. Efforts must be made to include logic that avoids false load number increments while also not allowing the routine to miss any disposal event. If manual incrementing of the load number is in place, extra attention should be paid to this value in the CONTRACTOR'S QUALITY CONTROL section.

3.1.3 Horizontal Positioning

All locations must be obtained using a Positioning System operating with a minimum accuracy level of 1 to 3 meters horizontal Circular Error Probable (CEP). Positions must be reported as Latitude/Longitude WGS 84 in decimal degrees. West Longitude and South Latitude values are reported as negative.

3.1.3.1 Vessel Horizontal Positioning

Geographic coordinates of the vessel as indicated by the location of the GPS antenna.

3.1.3.2 Draghead Horizontal Positioning

Geographic coordinates of the heel on centerline of the draghead(s). Any offset calculations from the GPS antenna should be described in the DPIP.

3.1.4 Hull status

Open/closed status of the hopper dredge, corresponding to the split/non-split condition of a split hull hopper dredge must be monitored.

For dredges with hopper doors, the status of a single door that is the first opened during normal disposal operations may be monitored. An "OPEN" value must indicate the hopper door is open, or in the case of split hull dredges, the hull is split. A "CLOSED" value indicates the hopper doors are closed, or in the case of split hull dredges, the hull is not split.

For this Contract, hull status must register closed prior to leaving the disposal area.

3.1.5 Dredge Course

Dredge course-over-ground (COG) must be provided using industry standard equipment. The Contractor must provide dredge course over ground to the nearest whole degree with values from 000 (true north) to 359 degrees referenced to a clockwise positive direction convention.

3.1.6 Dredge Speed

Dredge speed-over-ground must be provided in knots using industry standard equipment with a minimum accuracy of 1 knot and resolution to the nearest

0.1 knot.

3.1.7 Dredge Heading

Dredge heading must be provided using industry standard equipment. The dredge heading must be accurate to within 5 degrees and reported to the

SECTION 35 20 23.06 82 Page 9 nearest whole degree, with values from 000 (true north) to 359 degrees referenced to a clockwise positive direction convention.

3.1.8 Tide

Tide data must be obtained using appropriate equipment to give the water level with an accuracy of +/- 0.1 feet and a resolution of 0.01 feet. Tide values above project datum described in the dredging specification must be entered with a positive sign, those below with a negative sign.

3.1.9 Draft

All reported draft measurements must be in feet, tenths and hundredths with an accuracy of +/- 0.1 foot, relative to observed physical draft readings.

The measurements must be reported at a resolution of two decimal places (hundredths of a foot). Reported forward draft value must be equal to the sum of the visual forward port and starboard draft mark readings divided by

2. Reported aft draft value must be equal to the sum of the visual aft port and starboard draft mark readings divided by 2. Forward draft, aft draft and average draft will be reported. Sensors must be placed at an optimum location on the vessel to be reflective of observed physical draft mark readings at any trim or list. Minimum accuracies are conditional to relatively calm water. The sensor value reported must be an average of at least 10 samples per event, remove at least one maximum value and one minimum value, and average the minimum 8 remaining values. When average draft is calculated for the purpose of determining displacement, significant digits for average draft must be maintained such that if forward draft was 0.15 and aft draft was 0.1 then the average draft would be 0.125.

3.1.10 Hopper Ullage Sounding

All reported ullage soundings must be in feet, tenths and hundredths with an accuracy of +/- 0.1 foot with respect to the combing, and be representative of the forward and aft extents of the hopper as close to centerline as is possible. The measurements must be reported at a resolution of two decimal places (hundredths of a foot). Forward ullage and aft ullage soundings will be reported.
