SUMMARY OF WORK

PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 SCOPE OF SECTION

This section presents a general description of the work to be accomplished under this contract on Absecon Island, between Absecon Inlet and Great Egg Harbor Inlet, located in Atlantic County, New Jersey.

1.2 DESCRIPTION OF WORK

1.2.1 General

The contract work consists of a Base Bid to place approximately 1,597,000 cubic yards of beachfill material along the Atlantic Ocean coastline of Absecon Island, Atlantic County, New Jersey. The project area encompasses the municipalities of Atlantic City, Ventnor City, Margate City, and Longport Borough. The Contract work also consists of separate options to place additional amounts of beachfill per option, if awarded, in locations within and outside of the Base Bid areas.

Pre-placement condition surveys, as specified in Section 01 71 23 SURVEY REQUIREMENTS, will determine the exact location and quantity of beachfill material required within the limits indicated, and will be a determining factor in the award of options for additional quantities of beachfill.

Where options for additional beachfill are awarded, the additional beachfill material shall be placed immediately after the initial Base Bid quantity has been placed in the area(s) to be covered by the awarded option. The intent is to complete the beachfill template in a given Base-plus-Option area, before proceeding with work further along the construction baseline.

The Base Bid also includes the repair or extension of existing stormwater outfalls including pipe support systems; the repair of pedestrian, vehicle, and ADA accessible dune crossovers; planting dune grass; removal of damaged sand fence and posts and providing new sand fence, split rail fence, and post and rail fence; and the relocation or removal of various existing structures to accommodate the beachfill and dunes.

All beachfill work shall also include the requirements for structures monitoring.

1.2.2 Borrow Area

Beachfill material for this contract must come from the authorized borrow areas, which are shown on the contract drawings, located within and adjacent to the Absecon Inlet in the Atlantic Ocean, and a separate designated area located approximately 2 - 3 miles offshore of Absecon Island in the Atlantic Ocean. Beachfill material from any other source, including trucking from upland sources, will not be considered under this contract.

Section 01 11 00 Page 1

1.3 REQUIRED ORDER OF WORK

1.3.1 Dredging

Dredging in the inlet borrow area shall be continuous until all material has been removed to the specified depth for that borrow area.

1.6 ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS

1.6.1 Placing During Cold Weather

Perform cold weather concreting in accordance with ACI 306.1, ACI 306R, and as specified herein. If there is an inconsistency between any of these standards/specifications, the more stringent shall control. Do not place concrete when the air temperature reaches 40 degrees F and is falling, or is already below that point. Placement may begin when the air temperature reaches 35 degrees F and is rising, or is already above 40 degrees F. Make provisions to protect the concrete from freezing during the specified curing period. If necessary to place concrete when the temperature of the air, aggregates, or water is below 35 degrees F, placement and protection must be approved in writing. Approval will be contingent upon full conformance with the following provisions. Prepare and protect the underlying material so that it is entirely free of frost when the concrete is deposited. Heat mixing water and aggregates as necessary to result in the temperature of the in-place concrete being between 50 and 85 degrees F.

Methods and equipment for heating must be approved. Use only aggregates that are free of ice, snow, and frozen lumps before entering the mixer.

Provide covering or other means as needed to maintain the concrete at a temperature of at least 50 degrees F for not less than 72 hours after placing, and at a temperature above freezing for the remainder of the curing period.

1.6.2 Placing During Warm Weather

The temperature of the concrete as placed must not exceed 85 degrees F except where an approved retarder is used. Cool the mixing water and aggregates as necessary to maintain a satisfactory placing temperature.

The placing temperature must not exceed 95 degrees F at any time. When job-site conditions are present or anticipated that accelerate the rate of moisture loss or rate of cement hydration of freshly mixed concrete, including an ambient temperature of 80 degrees F or higher, or an evaporation rate that exceeds 0.2 lb/ft2/h determined by use of Figure 1 of ACI/MCP-2, conform concrete work to all requirements of ACI 305.1. Such protective measures shall be made in advance of placement and taken as quickly as finishing operations will allow.
