Maintenance Dredging – Shinnecock Inlet, New York.

IBF NO. W912DS-09-B-0008

1. The purpose of this amendment is to provide the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) Water Quality Certification as Part of Section 00 90 02 para. 3.1.1, revise Sheets 3 and 4 of the Plans. As a result of these changes, the Bid Opening scheduled for 7 May 2009 at 2:00P.M.has not changed.

2. The NYSDEC Water Quality Certification is attached.

3. The revised Sheets 3 and 4 are attached.

4. In addition, as a result of the teleconference on 17 April 2009, the following comment and question is responded to:

Reference: Section 01 22 00.00, paragraph 1.3.1.1, Measurement

Comment: Paragraph 1.3.1.1 states “No payment will be made for material placed: 1. Which violates Section 35 20 23, Placement of Dredged Material”.

Question:

Where is the paragraph “Placement of Dredged Material” in Section 35 20 23? Section 35 20 23 does not contain the paragraph “Placement of Dredged Material”. Please provide the paragraph in Section 35 20 23 which explains when payment will not be made for the placement of dredge material.

Answer: Section 01 22 00.00.10, paragraph 1.3.1 Dredging will be included through the Amendment:

1.3.1 Dredging

1.3.1.1 Payment

Payment will be made for costs associated with dredging of the channel, which includes performing required dredging and other operations incidental thereto, Contractor-furnished disposal area(s) and disposition of dredged material.

1.3.1.2 Measurement

The total amount of material removed and paid for under the contract (Bid Item No. 0002 will be measured by the cubic yard dredged. Measurement of the number of cubic yards in place will be made by computing the volume between the bottom surface shown by soundings of the last survey made before dredging and the bottom surface shown by soundings of a survey made as soon as practicable after the entire work specified has been completed.

The volume for measurement shall include the material within the limits of the overdepth, side slopes described in SECTION 35 20 23, para. 3.2.6 Disposal of Excavated Material.

The map and or drawings accurately represent conditions existing on 10 and 12 March 2009. The soundings shown on the contract drawings were taken with a portable electronic depth recorder with a transducer frequency of 200 kHz. New soundings will be taken generally two weeks prior to dredging. Soundings after dredging will be made by an electronic depth recorder with a transducer frequency of 200 kHz or may be made using a multi-beam surveying system. After-dredging surveys will be completed generally within five days of completion of a section or the project. Determination of quantities removed to determine in-place quantities to be paid in the area specified, after having once made, will not be reopened, except on evidence of collusion, fraud, or obvious error.

Computations for payment purposes will generally be made by the Corps of Engineers and utilizing the Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) method or Average End Area method.

Shoaling in the areas to be dredged is not at a rapid rate from existing depths. The unit price for dredging based on the above method of computation of the quantity for which payment is to be made shall include the Contractor's evaluation of shoaling, changes in the regimen of the waterway, or changes caused by the Contractor's operations that may occur during the period between the survey before dredging and the survey for acceptance of the work.

Scows and Hopper Dredges: Where scows or hopper dredges are used in performance of work and where the Contractor maintains load or measuring devices on such scows or hopper dredges, copies of all recorded measurements made in connection with the work shall be furnished to the Contracting Officer and/or his Representative. If as the work progresses the Contractor determines that a significant difference exists between the recorded bin or scow quantities and the survey quantities computed from the check surveys described above, he shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer and/or his Representative of any such discrepancies. Such notification shall include a description of the Contractor's methods of measuring scow or bin quantities, certification of measuring techniques, documentation of material sampling and methods used to convert bin or scow measurements to in-place density.

It is emphasized that bin or scow measurements shall not be used as a basis for partial or final payment.

14-day Partial payments will be based on approximate quantities determined by soundings or sweepings taken behind the dredge by the Contractor. The contractor's soundings are to be used for partial payments only and will not form a basis for the acceptance of the work.

The Contractor must inform the Government, in writing, within three calendar days of completing the work.

The total quantity of excavated material for which payment will be made will be the theoretical quantity between the ground surface as determined by a survey and the grade and slope of the theoretical cross sections indicated.

No allowance will be made for overdepth excavation or for the removal of any material outside the required slope lines unless authorized.

1.3.1.3 Unit of Measure

Unit of measure: cubic yard.
