Waste or surplus materials shall not be allowed to accumulate in the construction areas.
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
SECTION 01 12 00 Page 2
Contractor shall make the needed 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.

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.

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 traffic control devices, 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 property of the Contractor.

1.18 PROFIT
a. Use the weighted guidelines method of determining profit on any equitable adjustment change order or modification issued under this contract. The profit factors must be as follows:
Factor Rate Weight Value Degree of Risk 20 See Item Relative difficulty of work 15 b. below
SECTION 01 30 00.24 Page 8
Size of Job 15 Period of performance 15 Contractor's investment 5 Assistance by Government 5 Subcontracting 25
b. Based on the circumstances of each procurement action, each of the above factors must be weighted from .03 to .12 as indicated below. Obtain the value 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.
(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.
(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.
(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.
1.19 LABOR CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO TEMPORARY FACILITIES
It is the position of the Department of Defense that the Davis-Bacon Act, 40 U.S.C. 276a is applicable to temporary facilities such as job headquarters, tool yards, batch plants, borrow pits, sandpits, rock

Clause "Payrolls and Basic Records" of the GENERAL CONDITIONS (CONTRACT CLAUSES) is applicable to such operations.
1.20 DRAWING SCALES
All scales shown are based on a standard drawing size of 22" x 34". If any other size drawings are furnished or plotted, the contractor adjust the scales accordingly. The Contractor must also advise their sub-contractors of the above.
