1. Scope.

1.1 Background

The Little Sioux Flood Protection Project was constructed between April 1956 and June of 1966. The project consists of approximately 138 miles of levees with an average height of 12 feet, tiebacks, drainage structures, a large diversion channel between the Little Sioux River and the Monona-Harrison Ditch and bedgrade control sills. The original Sill #4 was heavily damaged during floods in 1983. A replacement Sill #4 was constructed at its current location in 1984. A low flow notch was constructed as a component of the Sill #4 Replacement structure. The purpose of the low flow notch was to allow fish to bypass the structure. Riprap was placed upstream of the low flow notch. This riprap was eroded and displaced by high water in 2014 and previous floods.

1.2 Objectives

The objective for this work is to replace the eroded and displaced riprap with stone large enough to resist flow velocities over 13 feet per second.

1.3 Description of work

The contractor shall procure and place 980 tons of Sioux Quartzite riprap.

The riprap layer thickness is generally 48 inches thick. The riprap gradation is large stone. The maximum stone size is approximately 42 inches and the average stone size is approximately 28 inches. Long reach equipment (80’ horizontal) will be required to place the stone. Incidental work includes underwater excavation, bank shaping, soil disposal, platform

00 73 00 Page 2 surfacing and seeding.

00 73 00 Page 4

Contractor shall make his own arrangements for use of public and private utilities.

12. PROFIT.

12.1 Weighted guidelines method of determining profit shall be used on any equitable adjustment change order or modification issued under this contract.

The profit factors shall be as follows:

Factor Rate Weight Value Degree of Risk 20 Relative difficulty of work 15 Size of Job 15 Period of performance 15 Contractor’s investment 5 Assistance by Government 5 Subcontracting 25

12.2 Based on the circumstances of each procurement action, each of the above factors shall be weighted from .03 to .12 as indicated below. The value shall be obtained by multiplying the rate by the weight. The value column when totaled indicates the fair and reasonable profit percentage under the circumstances of the particular procurement.

12.2.1 Degree of Risk.

Where the work involves no risk or the degree of risk is very small, the weighting should be .03; as the degree of risk increases, the weighting should be increased up to a maximum of .12. Lump sum items will have, generally, a higher weighted value than the unit price items for which quantities are provided. Other things to consider: the portion of the work to be done by subcontractors, nature of work, where work is to be performed, reasonableness of negotiated costs, amount of labor included in costs, and whether the negotiation is before or after performance of work.

12.2.2 Relative Difficulty of Work.

If the work is most difficult and complex, the weighting should be .12 and should be proportionately reduced to .03 on the simplest of jobs. This factor is tied in to some extent with the degree of risk. Some things to consider: the nature of the work, by whom it is to be done, where, and what is the time schedule.

12.2.3 Size of Job.

All work not in excess of $100,000 shall be weighted at .12. Work estimated between $100,000 and $5,000,000 shall be proportionately weighted from .12 to .05.

12.2.4 Periods of Performance.

Jobs in excess of 24 months are to be weighted at .12. Jobs of lesser duration are to be proportionately weighted to a minimum of .03 for jobs not to exceed 30 days. No weight where additional time not required.

00 73 00 Page 5

12.2.5 Contractor’s Investment.

To be weighted from .03 to .12 on the basis of below average, average, and above average. Things to consider: amount of subcontracting, mobilization payment item, Government furnished property, equipment and facilities, and expediting assistance.

12.2.6 Assistance by Government.

To be weighted from .12 to .03 on the basis of average to above average.

Things to consider: use of Government-owned property, equipment and facilities, and expediting assistance.

12.2.7 Subcontracting.

To be weighted inversely proportional to the amount of subcontracting. Where 80 percent or more of the work is to be subcontracted, the weighting is to be .03 and such weighting proportionately increased to .12 where all the work is performed by the Contractor’s own forces.

13. AS-BUILT DRAWINGS

The Contractor shall provide a marked-up half size drawing to show actual work performed to include necessary sketches, modification drawings, shop drawings and notes. Red ink is to be used for additions and deviations from the contract. Green ink is to be used to indicate work deleted from the contract. The drawings shall be maintained by the contractor as the work progresses and available for review by the government representatives. The as-built drawings shall be submitted for approval at the completion of the project. The completed set shall be available at time of final inspection.

1.2 DEFINITIONS

1.2.1 Environmental Pollution and Damage

Environmental pollution and damage is the presence of chemical, physical, or biological elements or agents which adversely affect human health or welfare; unfavorably alter ecological balances of importance to human life;

affect other species of importance to humankind; or degrade the environment aesthetically, culturally and/or historically.

SECTION 01 57 20.00 10 Page 3

1.2.2 Environmental Protection

Environmental protection is the prevention/control of pollution and habitat disruption that may occur to the environment during construction. The control of environmental pollution and damage requires consideration of land, water, and air; biological and cultural resources; and includes management of visual aesthetics; noise; solid, chemical, gaseous, and liquid waste; radiant energy and radioactive material as well as other pollutants.

1.2.3 Contractor Generated Hazardous Waste

Contractor generated hazardous waste means materials that, if abandoned or disposed of, may meet the definition of a hazardous waste. These waste streams would typically consist of material brought on site by the Contractor to execute work, but are not fully consumed during the course of construction. Examples include, but are not limited to, excess paint thinners (i.e. methyl ethyl ketone, toluene etc.), waste thinners,excess paints, excess solvents, waste solvents, and excess pesticides, and contaminated pesticide equipment rinse water.

1.2.4 Project Pesticide Coordinator

The Project Pesticide Coordinator (PPC) is an individual that resides at a Civil Works Project office and that is responsible for oversight of pesticide application on Project grounds.

1.2.5 Land Application for Discharge Water

The term "Land Application" for discharge water implies that the Contractor must discharge water at a rate which allows the water to percolate into the soil. No sheeting action, soil erosion, discharge into storm sewers, discharge into defined drainage areas, or discharge into the "waters of the United States" must occur. Land Application must be in compliance with all applicable Federal, State, and local laws and regulations.

1.2.6 Pesticide

Pesticide is defined as any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling, or mitigating any pest, or intended for use as a plant regulator, defoliant or desiccant.

1.2.7 Pests

The term "pests" means arthropods, birds, rodents, nematodes, fungi, bacteria, viruses, algae, snails, marine borers, snakes, weeds and other organisms (except for human or animal disease-causing organisms) that adversely affect readiness, military operations, or the well-being of personnel and animals; attack or damage real property, supplies, equipment, or vegetation; or are otherwise undesirable.

1.2.8 Surface Discharge

The term "Surface Discharge" implies that the water is discharged with possible sheeting action and subsequent soil erosion may occur. Waters that are surface discharged may terminate in drainage ditches, storm sewers,creeks, and/or "waters of the United States" and would require a permit to discharge water from the governing agency.

SECTION 01 57 20.00 10 Page 4

1.2.9 Waters of the United States

All waters which are under the jurisdiction of the Clean Water Act, as defined in 33 CFR 328.

1.2.10 Wetlands

Those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, and bogs. Official determination of whether or not an area is classified as a wetland must be done in accordance with WETLAND MANUAL.

1.3 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
