be made monthly.

3.3 PAYMENT METHOD

3.3.1 Pre/Post Dredge Survey

In Pre/Post Dredge acceptance areas, the Government will provide a required channel depth, with a maximum pay depth of 1 foot beyond the required channel depth. The dredging pay prism is formed by the maximum pay depth, the 1-vertical to 3-horizontal side slopes, and the horizontal dredging area limits. The Contractor shall utilize a third party qualified surveyor to conduct a pre-dredge and post-dredge multi-beam dredge survey of each acceptance area and will submit raw survey data, contour plots, and volume computations to the Contracting Officer for acceptance. Work areas will be accepted based on multi-beam hydrographic survey data processed using a median depth sort on a 3-foot by 3-foot grid. Survey drawings are not required to be displayed at this resolution. Contractor may suggest a resolution of soundings to be displayed. A work area will be accepted when:

a. All of the sorted survey values inside the prescribed work area limits are equal to or deeper than the required channel depth.

b. The Government reserves the right to accept a work area which does not meet the acceptance criteria as described elsewhere in this contract.

3.3.2 Quantity Surveys

a. Based on the Contractor hydrographic survey data submittals and quantity computations, the Government will determine cubic yard quantities for payment and acceptance. Dredge material quantities will be determined by pre- and post-dredge surveys of the work areas.

Contractor sounding depths used for determination of pay quantity volumes will be derived from multi-beam acoustic methods and corrected for tide. Accuracy will be in accordance with stated quality control values in EM-1110-2-1003. The Government reserves the right to take verification soundings by any method, including: multi-beam, single-beam, lead line, or trigonometric leveling (total station)/differential leveling; the same method will be used for the pre- and post-survey of a given reach.

b. As required, data from land surveys will be obtained and incorporated into the volume computation.

c. The dredging pay prism is shown in the drawings. Cubic yard volumes for payment will be computed in Hypack using the Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) surface volume computation method. Computed pay volumes will be the difference between the TIN to Channel computation of the Government approved pre-dredge survey and the TIN to Channel computation of the Government approved post-dredge survey in an acceptance area. For computation purposes soundings will be a median sort on a 3-foot by 3-foot matrix. Any material removed from outside the maximum dredging prism will not be considered for payment.

No adjustment will be made for infill material that occurs following pre-dredge survey but before final acceptance.

d. Surveys shall be conducted no more than 10 30 days max before start of work and 10 days max after completion of work. Provide survey data
