PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 SCOPE

The work covered in this section is outlined as a statement of construction requirements common to all the work. Specific requirements for materials and installations are provided under the Technical Sections herewith. No claims for extras shall be made on account of items presumed to have been omitted from this section.

1.2 CONSTRUCTION RIGHT-OF-WAY

The Contractor will be assigned working areas or working right-of-way limits for use in the prosecution of work under this contract, subject to the CONTRACT CLAUSES clause entitled "Operations and Storage Areas."

1.3 PROTECTION OF EXISTING FACILITIES AND WORKS

The Contractor shall be responsible for the protection of the work area from damage and upon completion of the work shall leave existing works in a condition equal to that which existed when the work started. All work, storage of materials, and construction plant shall be kept within the limits of the areas assigned. Prior to construction operations, the Contractor shall confer with the Contracting Officer's representative to determine the proximity of any possible under-ground obstructions, pipe or equipment which could be damaged as a result of construction operations.

Existing utility lines that are shown on the drawings or the locations are otherwise made known to the Contractor shall be protected from damage, and if damaged, shall be repaired by the Contractor at no additional expense to the Government. In the event that the Contractor damages any existing utility lines that are not shown or the locations of which have not been made known to the Contractor, report thereof shall be made immediately to the Contracting Officer. If the Contracting Officer determines that repairs shall be made by the Contractor, such repairs will be ordered under CONTRACT CLAUSES clause entitled "Changes." The Contractor will be responsible for the protection of structures from any structural damage during the construction operations. Roads and surfaces shall be protected from damage by the work or if damaged shall be repaired with equal materials at no additional expense to the Government. At all times the plant and work areas shall be kept in a condition conducive to safety of workmen and the public and neat in appearance. Waste or surplus materials shall not be allowed to accumulate in the construction areas.

1.3.1 Flood Protection Works

In all cases where materials in the existing flood protection works are used or connected with the construction of new work under this contract, the work shall be so planned and executed that the new work shall be completed to provide protection equivalent to the existing protection as the existing protection is weakened or removed. These operating restrictions shall be followed in order that the new work may be tied in, SECTION 01 12 00 Page 2 or connected promptly, by the Contractor, with the existing facilities so as to furnish a continuous service in an emergency. These ties or connections shall be made during periods of suspended construction operations and the Contractor shall leave incompleted pipe outlets and other structures in such conditions as to not interfere with the natural drainage from areas served by these pipes or structures.

1.4 CARE OF WATER

Full responsibility for care of water shall be borne by the Contractor until completion of work under this contract. The Contractor shall provide the materials and equipment and perform all work necessary to facilitate construction and to protect the work from damage by water. The Contractor shall make his own investigations and determinations of conditions, both existing and anticipated concerning care of water. Plans for care of water are subject to approval by the Contracting Officer prior to construction.

Facilities shall be removed upon completion of the work.

1.5 Project Survey and Layout

In addition to the requirements of FAR 52.236-17 Layout of Work, the contractor shall provide a licensed land surveyor to check initial project control, and to provide and set hubs for project construction. The contractor shall use (and reference in all as-built data) project stationing as described on the contract drawings. In addition, a licensed land surveyor shall provide final project embankment survey (i.e. to include major breakpoints, riverward toe, profile, top of levee at riverward/landward and landward toe) prior to placement of surfacing for government review and approval. If applicable a licensed land surveyor shall also provide, set and verify as built condition of major flood control structures/features; i.e. flood wall control. These surveys shall provide and verify both horizontal and vertical project control. This survey shall be used for final as-built embankment profile and cross section, and major flood control structure records, and recorded on the as-built condition in accordance with Section, As-Built Drawings.

1.6 ACCESS ROADS AND HAUL ROADS

1.6.1 Access Roads

Access roads as required for the prosecution of the work shall be maintained (including sprinkling for dust control, safety personnel, signals and control) within the work areas assigned to the Contractor.

Consideration shall be given to the avoidance of interference with others, safety and frequency of traffic, subject to review and approval prior to construction. Access road areas shall be restored to their original or suitable condition upon completion of this contract. The Contractor shall be responsible for repair of damage to existing roads caused by his operation.

1.6.2 Haul Roads

The Contractor shall construct haul roads as may be necessary for the conduct of the work without additional cost to the Government. The Contractor shall arrange his hauling operations so as to cause a minimum

SECTION 01 12 00 Page 3 interference with traffic and shall furnish flagmen and other facilities as required to avoid additional hazards to the public. Lines, grades and widths for haul roads, shall be selected to fulfill the requirements for safe and efficient hauling operations and shall be approved by the Contracting Officer prior to construction. Haul roads shall have ample width to provide safety. Preference shall be given to one-way haul roads when these are feasible. All roads shall be maintained in original as-built condition during all periods of their use. Roads shall be sprinkled whenever, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, control of dust is necessary to insure safe movements of construction traffic. Upon completion of work under this contract, roads shall be disposed of as directed by the Contracting Officer. All signs, culverts, guards, fences and other improvements on roads constructed for the Contractor's convenience and operations shall be removed from the project site and shall remain his property. Use and repair of existing roads and bridges shall be subject to the requirements of local authorities. Prior to start of hauling operations on public roads, the Contractor shall furnish written evidence to the Contracting Officer that an agreement has been consummated with State and County officials on the use of public roads and bridges.

Such agreements shall clearly relieve the Government of any responsibility for damage resulting from hauling across or on these roads.

1.6.3 Joint Use of Transportation Facilities

The Contractor may use jointly with contractors and others, existing access and haul roads constructed by the Government or by others. Unless otherwise specifically authorized in writing, the Contractor will not be granted exclusive use of any access or haul road whether it be an existing road or one constructed by the Contractor. However, the use by others of roads constructed by or assigned to the Contractor primarily for his own use will be limited by the Contracting Officer to the minimum considered consistent with efficient prosecution of the work under this and other contracts in force. Maintenance of jointly used facilities shall be shared in proportion to use. In the event of a disagreement between this Contractor and others as to the use of any road, the decision of the Contracting Officer shall be final. The Contractor shall not obstruct any existing road on the land controlled by the Government.

1.2 CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS

Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 36.201(Evaluation of Contractor Performance) requires evaluation of the construction contractor's performance throughout the contract period of performance. The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) follows the procedures outlined in Engineering and Construction Bulletin 2014-13 to fulfill this FAR requirement. For construction contracts valued at or above $650,000.00, including all modifications, the USACE will evaluate Contractor's performance using the web-based Contractors Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS). After the USACE drafts an evaluation (interim or final), the Contractor will have the opportunity to access, review, comment and either concur or non-concur with the evaluation in the CPARS system for a period of 60 days. Access to the CPARS system requires either specific software called PKI certification (recommended method) or a username and password. The PKI certification is a Department of Defense recommendation and to provide security in electronic transactions. The certification software could cost approximately $110 - $125 per certificate per year and may be purchased from an External Certificate Authorities (ECA) vendor.

Current information about the PKI certification process and contacting vendors can be found on the web site: https://www.cpars.gov.

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.

(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

SECTION 01 30 00.24 Page 8 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.

(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.

(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.

(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.

(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.

(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.

1.1 SUMMARY

The Contractor is responsible for total management of his work including approval, scheduling, control, certification of all submittals and compliance with all applicable Buy-American Act and Trade Agreement Act clauses. The submittal management system provided in these specifications is intended to be a complete system for the Contractor to use to control the quality of materials, equipment and workmanship provided by manufacturers, fabricators, suppliers and subcontractors. Review each submittal for contract compliance. This review is based on the contract drawings and specifications. Compliance with all applicable Buy American Act and Trade Agreement Clauses is to be included in this review. The Contractor must provide the country of origin on ENG Form 4025 for each item submitted. Submittals that comply will be forwarded to the Government. Submittals that do not conform will be returned to the originator to be corrected. The Submittal Register (ENG Form 4288) will be utilized to log and monitor all submittal activities. No construction or installation activities are to be performed until required approvals of applicable submittals have been made. Check to assure that all materials and/or equipment have been tested, submitted and approved during the preparatory phase of quality control inspections.

The Contracting Officer may request submittals in addition to those specified when deemed necessary to adequately describe the work covered in the respective sections.

Units of weights and measures used on all submittals are to be the same as those used in the contract drawings.

Each submittal is to be complete and in sufficient detail to allow ready determination of compliance with contract requirements.

Contractor's Quality Control (CQC) System Manager shall check and approve all items prior to submittal; and stamp, sign, and date indicating action taken. Proposed deviations from the contract requirements are to be clearly identified. Include within submittals items such as:

Contractor's, manufacturer's, or fabricator's drawings; descriptive literature including (but not limited to) catalog cuts, diagrams, operating charts or curves; test reports; test cylinders; samples; O&M manuals (including parts list); certifications; warranties; and other such required submittals.

Submittals requiring Government approval are to be scheduled and made prior to the acquisition of the material or equipment covered thereby.
