Complete weather records and reports may be obtained from the local U.S. Weather Bureau

Section 01 30 00 Page 2

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 commercial fishing, sport fishing vessels, U.S. Coast Guard vessels, and recreational craft. The traffic and vessels using Brigantine Inlet may interfere with dredging operations.

e. 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, at least 2 weeks prior to start date, to: Commander (OAN), Fifth Coast Guard District, Federal Building, 431 Crawford Street, Portsmouth, VA 23705 or e-mail cgd5waterways@uscg.mil.

The Contractor shall furnish a copy of each request to the Contracting Officer not less than five days prior to the start of dredging. Each request shall 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 placed by him under the contract in navigable waters and on shore.

f. Navigation Aids. Do not relocate or move aids to navigation that have been established by the U.S. Coast Guard. If it becomes necessary to have an 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 at (757)398-6371 or e-mail cgd5waterways@uscg.mil 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 to the USCG for Movement of Navigation Aids (including records of telephone conversations) shall be furnished to the Contracting Officer.

g. Transportation Facilities. The work site is accessible from the New Jersey Garden State Parkway and the Atlantic City Expressway. The Contractor shall be responsible for all investigations of load carrying capacities of bridges and roadways.

h. Location. Brigantine Island is located on the Atlantic Ocean coast of New Jersey in Atlantic County.

i. Laying of Submerged Pipelines and Obstruction of Channel. Should it become necessary in the performance of this contract to use a submerged pipeline, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in advance of the schedule for placement of the pipeline. If the submerged line is to be placed across a navigable channel, the Contractor shall submit a request

Section 01 30 00 Page 3 for approval at least ten working days (Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays excluded) prior to the desired closure date, to the U.S. Coast Guard, Sector Delaware Bay, 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 emergency condition.

The Coast Guard has indicated that the requirements of navigation may make it necessary to establish times other then those requested. Coordinate the work 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.

j. Bridge to Bridge Radio Telephone Equipment. In order that radio telephone communication may be made with passing vessels, all dredges engaged in work under the contract shall be equipped with and operate bridge-to-bridge radio telephone equipment. The radio telephone equipment shall operate on VHF Channel 13 (156.65 MHz) with low power output having a communication range of approximately ten miles. The frequency has been approved by the Federal Communication Commission.
