1.7 PHYSICAL DATA (APR 1984)

Data and information furnished or referred to below is for the Contractor's information. The Government shall not be responsible for any interpretation of or conclusion drawn from the data or information by the Contractor. (FAR 52.236-4)

a. The indications of physical conditions on the drawings and in the specifications are the result of site investigations by surveys. The drawings also show modifications made to the disposal area since the last dredging project was completed.

b. Tide Data. The mean ranges of tides in the Delaware River are approximately 6.4 feet at Burlington, NJ and 6.0 feet at Pier 11 North in Philadelphia. The maximum velocity of the normal tidal current is approximately 2 miles per hour.

c. Weather Conditions. The site of the work is sheltered from storms. It is believed that work can be performed during all seasons of the year except during winter months when ice conditions may interfere with dredging operations. Complete weather records and reports may be obtained from the local U.S. Weather Bureau Office nearest to the work site. The Contractor shall satisfy himself as to the hazards likely to arise from weather conditions during the construction period.

d. Channel Traffic. Traffic in the work area consists of ocean going and coastwise vessels, tugs and barges, and pleasure craft. The traffic and vessels may interfere with dredging operations.

e. Conditions of Turning Basin. The basin conditions shown on the drawings represent the results of surveys made on the dates indicated and can only be considered as indicating the general conditions at that time.

f. Obstruction of Channel. The Government will not undertake to keep the channel free from vessels or other obstructions, except to the extent of such regulations if any, as may be prescribed by the Secretary of the Army, in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 of the River and Harbor Act approved 8 August 1917. The Contractor will be required to conduct the work in such manner as to obstruct navigation as little as possible, and in case the Contractor's plant so obstructs the channel as to make difficult or endanger the passage of vessels, said plant shall be promptly moved on the approach of any vessel to such an extent as may be necessary to afford a practicable passage. The Contractor shall request the U.S. Coast Guard to issue a Notice to Mariners advising navigation interests that the Contractor's dredging plant will be operating in the project waterway. The Contractor shall submit this request to the U.S.

Coast Guard, MSO/Group Philadelphia, 1 Washington Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19147-4395. The Contractor shall furnish a copy of this request to the Contracting Officer not less than five days prior to the start of dredging. The request shall also contain the approximate time required for completion of dredging. Upon completion of dredging, the Contractor shall promptly remove his plant, including ranges, buoys, piles and other marks

Section 01 30 00 Page 3 placed by him, under the contract, in navigable waters and on shore.

g. Navigation Aids. Do not relocate or move any aids to navigation that have been established by the U.S. Coast Guard. If it becomes necessary to have any aid to navigation moved in order to complete dredging operations under this contract, the Contractor shall notify the Fifth Coast Guard District (dpw) at least 45 days prior to the desired date for movement of the aid. To request a relocation, Contractors shall contact Waterways Management Section, Assistant Section Chief/NJ, DE, PA: LTJG Hannah Cronin at (757)398-6516; e-mail cgd5waterways@uscg.mil or FAX (757)398-6303 at least 45 days before the desired date for movement of the aid. When making a request by telephone, Contractors must speak to the designated points of contact. The leaving of voicemail messages will not be acceptable. The Fifth CG District (dpw) will coordinate all temporary relocations or discontinuances. A copy of each request (including records of telephone conversations) shall be furnished to the Contracting Officer.

h. Location. The location of the work is in the Fairless Turning Basin, adajacent to the Delaware River between Philadelphia and Trenton, near Newbold Island.

i. Laying of Submerged Pipelines and Obstruction of Channel. When it is necessary to cross any part of the navigation channel in order to access the disposal area from the dredging area, a submerged pipeline shall be used to cross the channel. If the submerged line is to be placed across a navigable channel, the Contractor shall submit a request for approval at least ten working days (Sundays and holidays excluded) prior to the desired closure date, to the U.S. Coast Guard, MSO/Group Philadelphia, 1 Washington Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19147-4395. A copy of each request shall be furnished to the Contracting Officer. This request shall contain the following information:

(1) Location (Channel Centerline Stationing) and depth (over the top of the pipeline) at which the submerged line will be placed;

(2) The desired length of time the channel is to be closed;

(3) The date and hour placement or removal will commence;

(4) The date and hour of anticipated completion; and

(5) The name and telephone number of the person to be contacted for information and response to any emergency condition.

The Coast Guard has indicated that the requirements of navigation may make it necessary to establish times other than those requested. IT SHALL BE

THE CONTRACTOR'S RESPONSIBILITY TO COORDINATE HIS PLANS WITH THE COAST

GUARD SUFFICIENTLY IN ADVANCE OF THE PLANNED CLOSING TO PREVENT DELAY TO

THE DREDGING OPERATIONS AND COMPLY WITH THE COAST GUARD REQUIREMENTS. The minimum depth to the top of any submerged pipe shall not be less than 40 feet mean lower low water (MLLW) for the turning basin channel.

1.11 PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF CONTRACTOR (MAR 2014)

a. As a minimum, the Contractor's performance will be evaluated upon final acceptance of the work for contracts less than one year in duration.

Section 01 30 00 Page 8 will be entered into the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS).

b. CPARS is a web-enabled application that supports the completion, distribution, and retrieval of construction contract performance evaluations. CPARS is for UNCLASSIFIED use only. An evaluation assesses Contractor performance and provides a record, both positive and negative, on a given contract. Each evaluation is based on objective facts and supported by contract management data, such as contract performance elements that evaluate quality, timely performance, effectiveness of management, and compliance with contract terms, labor standards, and safety requirements. The Contractor will be rated either outstanding, above average, satisfactory, marginal, or unsatisfactory in the areas of Contractor Quality Control, Timely Performance, Effectiveness of Management, Compliance with Labor Standards, and Compliance with Safety Standards. The Contractor will be advised of any unsatisfactory rating, either in an individual element or in the overall rating, prior to completing the evaluation, and all Contractor comments will be made a part of the official record. Performance Evaluation Reports will be available to all DOD Contracting offices for their future use in determining Contractor responsibility, in compliance with ER 415-1-17.

c. Upon successful award of the contract, the Contractor will be notified by CPARS via email that access has been granted to a contract within the system. The email will contain instructions of how to log into the system. (CENAP)

Should any such nonadjacent area be excavated to full depth during the operations carried on under the contract, payment for all work therein may be deferred until the required depth has been made in the area intervening. The Contractor may be required to suspend dredging at any time when for any reason the gages or ranges cannot be seen or properly followed. (CENAP)
