Notification to Contractor: As the need exists for performance under the terms of this contract, the Contracting Officer or his authorized representative will notify the Contractor of an existing requirement in writing.

1.6 PROPOSAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Preparation of Proposal. The Contractor shall prepare his proposal for accomplishment of the task. The proposal shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer within 7 calendar days after the date of receipt of the RFP unless a different time period is specified by the individual RFP.

Review of Proposal. Upon receipt of the Contractor's proposal, the Government will review the proposal for completeness, compliance with the contract, accuracy, and adequacy for filling the Government's requirements.

Upon conclusion of satisfactory discussions or negotiations (if required), a Task Order will be issued by the Contracting Officer reflecting the negotiated order price and payment terms as outlined in the statement of work or specifications.

If discussions are held, at the conclusion, the Contractor will be requested to provide a final proposal revision. In any instance where

SECTION 01 00 00.00 09 Page 4 there is failure to reach agreement on price, the Government reserves the right to withdraw the project and have it completed by other means or to issue the order unilaterally based on the rates bid by the Contractor on the Bid Schedule to the solicitation/contract.

The Contractor shall include in their proposal the cost of all work required by the drawings and specifications.

1.8 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

This clause supplements Section 00 80 00.00 09 SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS, paragraph LIQUIDATED DAMAGES - CONSTRUCTION (FAR 52.211-12).

Liquidated Damages will be specified in individual Task Orders and if the Contractor fails to complete the work within the time specified in a Task Order, or any extension, the Government may assess liquidated damages for each day of delay in accordance with FAR Clause 52.211-12.

Liquidated damages shall be concurrent and cumulative and applied as stated in each individual Task Order.

Exception to Liquidated Damages. In case the Contracting Officer

SECTION 01 00 00.00 09 Page 5 determines completion of work is not feasible during the completion period(s) stated in the Task Order, such work will be exempted from liquidated damages.

1.9 TIME EXTENSIONS

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this contract, it is mutually understood that the time extensions for changes in the work will depend upon the extent, if any, by which the changes cause delay in the completion of the various elements of construction. The change order granting the time extension may provide that the Task Order completion date will be extended only for those specific elements so delayed and that the remaining Task Order completion dates for all other portions of the work will not be altered and may further provide for an equitable readjustment of liquidated damages under the new completion schedule. (FAR 52.211-13)

1.10 ESTIMATED QUANTITIES

In general, the estimated quantities shown on the Bidding Schedule are estimated from the anticipated amount of work. Actual quantities required will vary based upon the actual work required as determined in the field.

1.11 PARTNERING

The Government encourages formation of informal project partnerships on all projects. A project partnership strives to utilize a cooperative working relationship to jointly establish and effectively reach mutual project execution goals. The partnering process will in no way relax nor stiffen the requirements of the contract, but will enhance the likelihood of success through improved working relationships. The possibility of an informal partnership may be discussed at the Pre-construction Conference for this project.

1.12 ORDER OF WORK

a. Normally, revetment and dike repair operations proceed from upstream to downstream, but this order of work is not guaranteed. The Contractor shall prosecute the work at the various revetments and dikes in such order of precedence as may be prescribed by the Contracting Officer. Work shall begin at the upper end of the lower half at the District, in Task Order No. 2. Work may begin at the upper end of the upper half Task Order No. 1 when completed.

b. Generally, work ordered at any revetment or dike will consist of all stone repair to be performed on the revetment or dike; however, the Government reserves the right to order that only portions of the work on any revetment or dike be placed under a Task Order, the remainder of the work to be accomplished by other means. The Government further reserves the right after a task order has been issued for work on a revetment or dike to delete from the task order all or any part of said work when river stages or other conditions are such that minor repair work at that locality is not feasible.

1.13 RIGHTS-OF-WAY

a. The required rights-of-way for the work to be constructed under this contract, within the limits indicated on all drawings, will be provided by the Government. If these rights-of-way are used by the Contractor, he shall, at his own expense, do all work necessary to make

SECTION 01 00 00.00 09 Page 6 such rights-of-way suitable for traveling to and from the worksite.

Upon completion of the Contractor's work, any such rights-of-way furnished by the Government shall be left in a condition satisfactory to the Contracting Officer.

b. When so directed by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall, without expense to the Government and at any time during the progress of the work when it is not being actively used for contract operations, promptly vacate and clean up any part of the Government grounds or rights-of-way that have been allotted to or have been in use by the Contractor.

c. The Contractor shall not obstruct any existing roads on lands controlled by the United States except with written permission of the Contracting Officer and shall maintain such roads in as good condition as exists at the time of commencement of work under this contract.

d. The Contractor shall procure, without expense to the Government, all additional lands, access roads, or rights-of-way necessary for his use in the performance of the work or as required by his method of operation. The Contractor shall submit written evidence to the Contracting Officer that he has obtained the rights-of-way from the property owners. The written evidence shall consist of an authenticated copy of the conveyance under which the Contractor acquired such rights-of-way, prepared and executed in accordance with the laws of the State in which the land is located. The Contractor shall also obtain from the owners a release for the Government for any damages which may result from his use of such rights-of-way. The written conveyance and release shall be provided to the Government prior to use of Contractor obtained additional lands, access roads, or rights-of-way. If temporary rights-of-way are obtained by the Contractor the period of time for those rights shall coincide with Section 00 80 00.00 09 SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS, paragraph COMMENCEMENT, PROSECUTION, AND COMPLETION OF WORK, plus a reasonable time for any extension granted for the completion of the work. Any agreements or permits with levee boards, counties, parishes, municipalities, or other political subdivisions for moving material and equipment will be the responsibility of the Contractor and will be obtained at no expense to the Government. Any delays to the Contractor resulting from delays in procuring such additional lands, access roads, rights-of-way, or permits for moving material and equipment for his work under this contract will not be a basis for any claim for increase in the cost of this contract. The Contractor shall make his own investigations to determine the conditions, restrictions and difficulties which may be encountered in acquiring such. In addition, the Contractor shall be solely liable for any and all damages and claims of any nature whatsoever arising from or growing out of the acquisition and use of rights-of-way, etc., other than those furnished by the Government. The Contractor shall also obtain from the owners a release for both the Government and the local sponsor for any changes that may result to lands procured by the Contractor for his convenience.

e. Notwithstanding any language or drawings to the contrary in this contract, the United States will not provide access or rights-of-way over any public lands and will not be responsible for acquiring such.

f. The Contractor shall repair at no expense to the Government, any and all damage to any existing roads when such damage is a result of his operations under this contract. (CEMVK-OC, 1989)

1.18 PAYMENT INVOICES

a. The Federal Acquisition Regulation requires that the "REMIT TO" address on the invoice match the "REMIT TO" address on the contract or a proper notice of assignment. The Payment Office will verify a match of the "REMIT TO" address in the contract and contractor’s invoice prior to payment. If the addresses do not match, the invoice will be determined improper and returned to the contractor for correction and resubmission. If an invoice is improperly returned, the original invoice receipt date shall be used as the basis for determining interest to be paid in accordance with the PROMPT PAYMENT ACT.

b. Among other things, the Contract Clause PROMPT PAYMENT FOR CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS requires that a proper invoice for payment include substantiation of the amounts requested. As required in Office of Management and Budget, Circular A-125 (Rev.), PROMPT PAYMENT, dated December 12, 1989, substantiation of the amount requested for progress payments under construction contracts includes the following:

(1) An itemization of the amounts requested related to the various elements of work required by the contract covered by the payment request;

(2) A listing of the amount included for work performed by each subcontractor under the contract;

(3) A listing of the total amount of each subcontract under the contract;

(4) A listing of the amounts previously paid to each such subcontractor under the contract; and,

(5) Additional supporting data in a form and detail required by the Contracting Officer.

c. Failure to include the above information in a contractor’s invoice will result in the invoice being considered defective under the provisions of the PROMPT PAYMENT FOR CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS clause of the contract, and it will be returned to the contractor for correction and resubmission. (CEMVK-OC, 1997)

1.19 TEMPORARY EXCAVATION AND EMBANKMENTS

1.33 MACHINERY AND MECHANIZED EQUIPMENT

Machinery and mechanized equipment used under this contract shall comply with the following:

a. When mechanized equipment is operated on floating plant, the Contractor shall provide positive and acceptable means of preventing this equipment from moving or falling into the water. The type of equipment addressed by this clause includes front-end loaders, bulldozers, trucks (both on- and off-road), backhoes, track hoes, and similar equipment. If the Contractor plans to use such equipment on floating plant, an activity hazard analysis must be developed for this feature of work. The plan must include a detailed explanation of the type or types of physical barriers, curbs, structures, etc., which will be incorporated to protect the operator and prevent the equipment from entering the water. Nonstructural warning devices may be considered for situations where the use of structural barriers is determined to be impracticable. The activity hazard analysis must thoroughly address the procedure and be submitted to the Corps for review and acceptance prior to start of this feature of work.

b. The stability of crawler, truck, and wheel-mounted cranes shall be assured.

(1) The manufacturer's load-rating chart may be used to determine the maximum allowable working load for each particular crane's boom angle provided a test load, with a boom angle of 20 degrees, confirms the manufacturer's load-rating table.

(2) Stability tests are required if:

(i) there is no manufacturer's load-rating chart securely fixed to the operator's cab;

(ii) there has been a change in boom or other structural member;

or

(iii) there has been a change in the counterweight.

The test shall consist of lifting a load with the boom in the least stable undercarriage position and at an angle of 20 degrees above the horizontal. The test shall be conducted under close supervision on a firm, level surface. The load that tilts the machine shall be identified as the test load. The test load moment (in ft-lbs) shall then be calculated by multiplying the horizontal distance (in ft) from the center of rotation of the

SECTION 01 00 00.00 09 Page 15 machine to the test load, times the test load (in lbs).

Three-fourths of this test-load moment shall then be used to compute the maximum allowable operating loads for the boom at 20, 40 ,60, and 80 degrees above horizontal. From these maximum allowable operating loads, curve shall be plotted and posted in the cab of the machine in sight of the operator. These values shall not be exceeded except in the performance test described below. The test load shall never exceed 100 percent of the manufacturer's maximum rated capacity.

(3) In lieu of the test and computations above, the crane may be load tested for stability at each of the four boom positions listed above.

c. Performance tests shall be performed in accordance with Section 16, "Machinery and Mechanized Equipment" of EM 385-1-1, "Safety and Health Requirements Manual", except as specified below. Performance tests shall be conducted after each stability test, when the crane is placed in service on a project, and at least every 12 months.

(1) When conducting a performance load test which is required of a new crane or a crane in which load sustaining parts have been altered, replaced, or repaired (excluding replacement of the rope), the test load shall be as specified in ASME/ANSI B30 series. That is, for overhead, gantry, portal, pillar, tower, monorail, and underhung cranes, the test load shall not exceed 125 percent of the manufacturer's load rating capacity chart at the configuration of the test; for hammerhead tower, mobile, and floating cranes and boom trucks, the test load shall not exceed 110 percent of the manufacturer's load rating capacity chart at the configuration of the test.

(2) When conducting a performance load test which is required because a crane is reconfigured, or reassembled after disassembly, or because the crane requires an annual load test, the test loads shall not exceed 100 percent of the manufacturer's load rating capacity chart at the configuration of the test.

(3) All load tests are required to be conducted in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.

d. Inspections shall be made which will ensure a safe and economical operation of both cranes and draglines with inspection documented.

Copies of the inspections and tests shall be available at the job site for review. All stability and performance tests on cranes and all complete dragline inspections shall be witnessed by the Contracting Officer or his authorized representative.

e. A complete dragline inspection shall be made:

(1) at least annually;

(2) prior to the dragline being placed in operation; and

(3) after the dragline has been out of service for more than 6 months.

f. All heavy equipment moved onto the worksite shall be inspected for compliance with this contract. The CEMVK-SO Inspection forms attached

SECTION 01 00 00.00 09 Page 16 at the end of this section shall be completed by the Contractor. All completed forms, including abatement schedule of any violations, shall be maintained at the job site for continued review and update as needed.
