a. The indications of physical conditions on the drawings and in the specifications are the result of site investigations by surveys. Samples of material to be dredged and dated as shown were obtained by using vibracore and grab sampling.

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.

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. Passing vessels may interfere with dredging operations.

e. Conditions of Channel and Turning Basin. The channel and 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.

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 is required to conduct the work in such a 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 for each work assignment advising navigation interests that the Contractor's dredging plant will be operating in the work assignment waterway.

Should additional work assignments be issued, the Government will make available appropriate disposal area locations.

i. Laying of Submerged Pipelines and Obstruction of Channel. All discharge pipelines crossing the navigation channel shall be submerged. 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 for approval, at least 3 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.

Section 01 30 00 Page 9 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)
