1.5 CORRESPONDENCE AND ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION

For ease and speed of communications, both the Government and Contractor shall exchange correspondence and all other documents duplicate in both hard paper copy and electronic format.

(2) Railroads. The Contractor is responsible for determining the availability of railroad service.

(3) Water Routes. The Yazoo River serves points below the site of work. The Government does not guarantee dependable navigation on the Yazoo River. Periods of low water can limit or stop navigation. Periods of high water in combination with the elevations of the low steel of bridges on the Yazoo River may also limit or stop navigation. The Contractor's inability to navigate these waters or move his plant, materials or equipment shall not form the basis for a claim against the Government. The Government does not guarantee and in no way means to imply that the Contractor will be able navigate the Tallahatchie River or move his floating plant, materials or equipment to the site of work via the Yazoo and Tallahatchie Rivers.

(d) River Stages. Stage hydrographs for the Tallahatchie River at the Locopolis, Mississippi gage are shown on the contract drawings.

The Contractor is advised that in January 1981, the Interim Water Control Plan was implemented for the Yazoo Basin lakes. This plan enables greater flood prevention measures to be obtained in the Yazoo Basin. The Contractor is also advised that no modification to the normal operation of the Yazoo Basin lakes will be made to accommodate this work. A more complete history of river stages is available for inspection at the U.S. Army Engineer District, Vicksburg, Mississippi.

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. Upon completion of the work, the Contractor shall promptly remove his plant, including buoys, piles, and other markers placed by him under the contract in navigable water or on shore.

(b) The Contracting Officer may require the Contractor to furnish cost data to justify this portion of the bid if the Contracting Officer believes that the percentages in subparagraphs (a)(1) and (2) of this clause do not bear a reasonable relation to the cost of the work in this contract.

(1) Failure to justify such price to the satisfaction of the

DOCUMENT 00 80 00.00 09 Page 6 Revised By Amendment 0001

Contracting Officer will result in payment, as determined by the Contracting Officer, of--

and

(iii) The remainder of this item in the final payment under this contract.

(b) Allowable cost for construction and marine plant and equipment in sound workable condition owned or controlled and furnished by a Contractor or subcontractor at any tier shall be based on actual cost data for each piece of equipment or groups of similar serial and series for which the Government can determine both ownership and operating costs from the contractor's accounting records. When both ownership and operating costs cannot be determined for any piece of equipment or groups of similar serial or series equipment from the Contractor's accounting records, costs for that equipment shall be based upon the applicable provisions of EP 1110-1-8, Construction Equipment Ownership and Operating Expense Schedule, Region III.

Working conditions shall be considered to be average for determining equipment rates using the schedule unless specified otherwise by the Contracting Officer. For equipment not included in the schedule, rates for comparable pieces of equipment may be used or a rate may be developed using the formula provided in the schedule. For forward pricing, the schedule in effect at the time of negotiations shall apply. For retroactive pricing, the schedule in effect at the time the work was performed shall apply.

(c) Equipment rental costs are allowable, subject to the provisions of FAR 31.105(d)(ii) and FAR 31.205-36, Rental Costs. Rates for equipment rented from an organization under common control, lease-purchase arrangements, and sale-leaseback arrangements, will be determined using the schedule, except that actual rates will be used for equipment leased from an organization under common control that has an established practice of leasing the same or similar equipment to unaffiliated lessees.

(d) When actual equipment costs are proposed and the total amount of the pricing action exceeds the SAT, the contracting officer shall request the Contractor to submit either certified cost or pricing data, or partial/limited data, as appropriate. The data shall be submitted on Standard Form 1411, Contract Pricing Proposal Cover Sheet.

1.2 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 or stiffen the requirements of the contract, but will enhance the likelihood of success through improved working relationships and joint risk management. The possibility of an informal partnership may be discussed at the Pre-construction Conference for this project.

1.3 RIGHTS-OF-WAY

a. The rights-of-way for Contractor performance under this contract, within the limits indicated on the drawings, will be provided by the Government without cost to the Contractor. It is the Contractor's responsibility to carefully review and determine the scope of the rights-of-way. Any questions should be clarified with the Government prior to use. If these rights-of-way are used by the Contractor, he shall, at his own expense, do all work necessary to make such rights-of-way suitable for safe travel 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, 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.

The Contractor shall also obtain from the property owners and present to the Contracting Officer a release of all claims against the Government which may result from the Contractor's use or possession of such real estate or property rights. The written conveyance and release shall be provided to the Contracting Officer prior to the Contractor's use of Contactor obtained real estate or property rights. 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.

The Contractor shall make his own investigations to determine the conditions, restrictions and difficulties which may be encountered in acquiring such real estate, rights-of-way, or other property rights and in the transportation of material and equipment. The Contractor is responsible for identifying and requesting any required revisions to the stormwater permit, installation and maintenance of required BMPs, and necessary reports as required by the state.

Prior to approval from the Contracting Officer or other authorized individual, additional land usage that requires extensive clearing or disturbance shall be avoided especially if existing right of ways are sufficient to accomplish the required work. Use of property that violates any terms or requirements of existing project environmental or cultural clearances will not be allowed. The Contractor shall be solely liable for any and all damages and claims of any nature whatsoever arising from, related to, or growing out of the acquisition and use of this real estate, rights-of-way, property rights, etc.
