SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE (SF 30)

The following have been added by full text:

SPECIFICATION CHANGES

The SOLICITATION is amended as follows:

NOTE: Deleted text is shown with strikethrough. Added text is shown with underline.

1. SPECIFICATIONS:

a. Section 35 41 00 Paragraph No 3.11.2 Landward Setback Levee Repair Station 14+90 23+10 (Setback Sta. 0+00) to 31+40 (Setback Sta. 15+00 7+50)

All referenced elevations shall be based from a Government established TBM hub driven in levee crown at approximate levee station 14+00 22+00. TBM is an assumed elevation of 100.00. The government shall provide initial centerline staking of the new landward levee setback alignment.

Stated repairs require constructing an approximate 1,500 750-linear feet long new landward setback levee (see B-2 Site Map & C-2 Drawing). New setback levee shall be constructed with a 10-foot wide crown width, with 1-foot vertical on 3.0-feet horizontal side slopes. Base grade elevation for landward setback levee is elevation 100.00 at station 14+90 23+10, maintaining "flat" grade (i.e. 100.00) throughout entire setback construction. Base grade elevation is design grade lines and not shrinkage grade lines.

Partial designated borrow materials are remaining segments of existing original levee (approx.

levee sta. 14+90 to 22+40 & 27+60 to 31+40). Borrow excavation shall commence on the newly constructed riverside levee toe-line at start of end of setback to use the entire old levee footprint located on the outside (riverside) of setback, so as not to impose on flows during high water events. Borrow area shall have positive drainage away from the newly constructed levee. Seeding and mulching will be performed by levee sponsor. See B-2 Site Map (Approx. 9,850 CY Fill).

b. Section 35 41 00 Paragraph No 3.11.3 Landward Setback Levee Repair Station 173+50 (Setback

Sta. 0+00) to 195+00 (Setback Sta. 23+50)

All referenced elevations shall be based from a Government established TBM hub driven in levee crown at approximate levee station 172+50. TBM is an assumed elevation of 100.00. The government shall provide initial centerline staking of the new landward levee setback alignment.

Stated repairs require constructing an approximate 2,350-linear feet long new landward setback levee (see B-3 Site Map & C-3 Drawing). New setback levee shall be constructed with a 12-foot wide crown width, with 1-foot vertical on 3.0-feet horizontal side slopes. Base grade elevation for landward setback levee is elevation 100.00 at station 173+50, maintaining "flat" grade (i.e.

100.00) throughout entire setback construction. Base grade elevation is design grade lines and not shrinkage grade lines.

The contractor shall remove CMP at Station 193+00 and replace with 24” Smooth steel pipe (SSP). SSP shall conform to ASTM A252 Grade 3 with a wall thickness of 0.375". SSP shall be placed at grades similar to removed CMP and approved by the COR. Contractor shall furnish and install all necessary appurtenances needed for installation of SSP. The contractor shall also furnish and install a 24” Waterman F25sb flap gate, or approved equal.

Partial designated borrow materials are remaining segments of existing original levee (approx.

levee sta. 173+50 to 175+00). Borrow excavation shall commence on the newly constructed riverside levee toe-line at start of end of setback to use the entire old levee footprint located on the outside (riverside) of setback, so as not to impose on flows during high water events. Borrow area shall have positive drainage away from the newly constructed levee. Seeding and mulching will be performed by levee sponsor. See B-3 Site Map (Approx. 38,200 CY Fill, 120-Linear feet 24" SSP, & 1-24" Waterman F25sb Flap Gate, or approved equal).
