SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 COMMENCEMENT, PROSECUTION, AND COMPLETION OF WORK

1.1.1 Commencement

The Contractor shall be required to commence work under each Task Order within 10 calendar days after the date of receipt of Notice to Proceed and to diligently prosecute said work according to the order of work shown below and as indicated in the issued Task Orders.

The Government anticipates issuing Requests for Proposals for the following task orders on the contract. The estimated tonnages are based on the best information available at the time of this solicitation and may vary due to site conditions and available funding.

Proposed Task Orders:

Task Order 1 - Dike Repairs, Revetment Repairs, and Stone Bank Paving (RM 616 - 326) - Estimated tonnage:44,000 tons of A stone for dike repairs and 90,000 tons of C stone for revetment repairs. Specification Sections 32 22 11.00 09 GRADING, EXCAVATION, AND SLOPE DRESSING and 35 21 23.00 09 STONE BANK PAVING does not apply to dike repairs or revetment repairs.

Approximately 28,300 tons of the C Stone will also be used for Stone Bank Paving at Point Pleasant. Specification Sections 32 22 11.00 09 GRADING, EXCAVATION, AND SLOPE DRESSING and 35 21 23.00 09 STONE BANK PAVING does apply to the Point Pleasant Stone Bank Paving site. Four (4) pre-construction and four (4) post-construction multi-beam surveys, total of eight (8), shall be required for this task order. All work on this Task Order 1 shall be completed prior to beginning work on any other task orders unless specified otherwise by the Contracting Officer. It is anticipated that Task Order 1 will be issued, followed by prompt issuance of the Notice to Proceed, as soon as river conditions are favorable for construction to begin. The stone bank paving at Point Pleasant is anticipated to be constructed during the 2024 Revetment Season.

Task Order 2 - Stone Repairs (RM 616 - 326) - Estimated tonnage: To be determined. The award of this task order is not anticipated until completion of a low water inspection trip, performed by the government, which may not occur until several weeks after award of this IDIQ contract, depending on river stages. It is intended to award Task Order 2 prior to completion of work on Task Order 1 if possible, but not guaranteed. The Notice to Proceed for work on Task Order 2 will not be issued until work on Task Order 1 is complete or nearing completion. The Contractor may request an early issuance of the Notice to Proceed on Task Order 2 to allow concurrent work on Task Order 1 and 2, subject to the approval of the Contracting Officer.

It is the intent of the Government to issue the Notices to Proceed for the task orders consecutively to provide a continuous flow of work as described above. Only one mobilization and demobilization cost will be paid for the two task orders described above if awards and Notices to

DOCUMENT 00 80 00.00 09 Page 2

Proceed are issued as indicated allowing consecutive work from one task order to the next. Upstream towing will not be paid for transition from completion of work on Task Order 1 to begin work on Task Order 2 as specified in Section 01 22 00.00 09 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT, paragraph "Upstream Towing and Downstream Towing."

If any additional task orders, other than the 2 shown above, are issued allowing consecutive work with another ongoing task order, no additional mobilization demobilization will be paid. However, upstream towing will be paid on the subsequent task order in these cases if the subsequent task order results in upstream relocation to perform the newly issued task order. Should the Government issue additional task orders after work on all other task orders has been completed, including demobilization, additional mobilization and demobilization would be paid.

If, for his convenience, the Contractor requests delays between issuance of task orders within the limitations described above, the Government will not be obligated to pay additional mobilization and demobilization costs.

The Contractor has the option of requesting issuance of Notice to Proceeds on multiple task orders concurrently within the above schedule limitations. If the Contractor requests to work multiple sites concurrently, the Government will not be obligated to pay additional mobilization and demobilization costs.

1.1.2 Prosecution

"Graded Stone "A"" work will typically include repairs to dikes, major repairs to revetments, and large dike bankhead repairs. Dike repairs will be limited to existing dike fields and will be to restore existing dikes to their original grade. Large dike bankhead repairs are repairs to flanked dikes and will only be subject to stone placement within the large dike bankhead (dig-in) section shown in the drawings. Major repairs to revetments using Stone "A" are significant repairs to existing revetments where "A" Stone is used to construct longitudinal dikes to prevent degrading of an otherwise stable bank section.

"Graded Stone "C"" work will typically include stone repairs to revetments and small bankhead construction. Stone repairs to revetments are small repairs to existing revetments where "C" Stone is used to construct longitudinal dikes, tiebacks, or stone bank paving to prevent degradation of the bank. Small bankhead contruction is the construction of the dig-in of a tieback and will only be subject to stone placement within the small bankhead (dig-in) section shown in the drawings.

"Graded Stone "C" For Point Pleasant Stone Bank Paving" work will consist of placing stone bank paving with Graded Stone "C" as directed in the plans provided. The placement of stone at this site may required land based equipment in order to reach the upper bank limits of this project.

This work will commence within 15 days after the Mat Sinking Unit has sunk the final mat at this location. The contractor may be directed by the Contracting Officer to leave a current worksite on this Task Order in order to construct the stone bank paving at Point Pleasant.

"Graded Stone "B" Without Fines" work will typically include stone repairs to revetments in deep water with high velocities and typically be used during emergency purposes. Graded Stone "B" Without Fines will be used to construct longitudinal dikes or stone bank paiving in order to minimize the loss of stone due to velocities in deeper water.

DOCUMENT 00 80 00.00 09 Page 3

All work not specifically identified above will be subject to the rates identified below as revetment stone repair. In each of these sections, initial surveys are required by the Contractor and separate plans for the repair will be provided by the Government after initial surveys are complete. In addition, some stone dike locations will require extensive stone repairs. This work will be performed in the Mississippi River and varying water depths and currents may be encountered. Currents usually encountered at the sites of the work during low water period may vary from about one mile per hour to six miles per hour. Due to river depths and current, the use of spuds to secure barges and equipment is not guaranteed. The contractor is advised that anchors or another approved method may be required to perform stone placement

(1) The revetment stone repair rate of progress that will be required of the Contractor on this work will be based on the Contractor maintaining an average rate of stone placement of 800 tons per calendar day for revetment stone repair, 1,200 tons per calender day for dike repairs, and 400 tons per day for dike bankhead repairs.

The dike stone repair rate of progress that will be required of the Contractor on this work will be based on the Contractor maintaining an average rate of stone placement of 1,200 tons per calendar day. It is anticipated that increased equipment and additional manpower requirements could be required of the Contractor, in order to comply with the increased stone placement rate requirements.

The large dike bankhead repair and small bankhead construction rate of progress that will be required of the Contractor on this work will be based on the Contractor maintaining an average rate of stone placement of 400 tons per calendar day. It is anticipated that additional land based equipment will be required for clearing, grubbing, excavation, and disposal. Reduced rate is established to account for double handling of stone and for clearing, grubbing, excavation and disposal.

Sudden rises in river stages are normal during low-water construction season and may at times limit repair work to the upper part of the bank paving or dikes. In such case where part of the work required on certain revetments or dikes is prevented due to high river stages, the Contracting Officer may direct the Contractor to return to these revetments or dikes to complete the work after moving his operations to other localities. In the event river stages at the time of the work are lower than at the time the detailed instructions as to work to be done are furnished the Contractor, or additional work is determined to be necessary during the progress of the work, the Contracting Officer may direct such additional work as may be necessary. In any event, except as stated above, the Contractor will be required to diligently and continuously (without interruption) prosecute the work under this contract, maintain the specified rate of progress, and complete the work during the time as determined in paragraph COMPLETION.

(2) If the Contractor falls behind the progress called for, the Contractor shall take such steps as may be necessary to improve his progress and the Contracting Officer may require him to increase the number of shifts and/or overtime operations, and/or the amount of construction plant without additional cost to the Government.

(3) Failure of the Contractor to comply with the requirements of the Contracting Officer under these provisions of the specifications shall

DOCUMENT 00 80 00.00 09 Page 4 be grounds for determination by the Contracting Officer that the Contractor is not prosecuting the work with such diligence as will ensure completion within the time specified. Upon such determination, the Contracting Officer may terminate the Contractor's right to proceed with the work or any separable part thereof, in accordance with the Contract Clause DEFAULT (FIXED PRICE CONSTRUCTION).

1.1.3 Completion

The Contractor shall complete the entire work for each Task Order within the number of calendar days determined by dividing the total tons by the production rates stated in paragraph 1.1.2 PROSECUTION to be placed each calendar day, beginning 10 calendar days after the receipt of the Notice to Proceed, plus 5 days for completion, including final dressing.

The time for completion will be extended to the extent that the work is suspended due to river stages. The number of days computed above shall be used when computing liquidated damages as specified in paragraph LIQUIDATED DAMAGES-CONSTRUCTION. If, through no fault or negligence of the Contractor, the work is not completed at such times as river stages at the worksite, or sites, reach a height which makes it inadvisable or impracticable to proceed with the work under the Task Order, and is of such indicated duration as to constitute the end of the working season, the Contracting Officer will give the Contractor 10 calendar days written notice of the termination of the Task Order pursuant to the terms of this paragraph, in which event the Contractor will be paid for work actually performed at the applicable contract unit price or prices.

1.2 EXCLUSION PERIODS FOR COMPUTING COMPLETION SCHEDULE

(This clause supplements paragraph COMMENCEMENT, PROSECUTION, AND COMPLETION OF WORK, above.)

No work shall be performed during the period of 22 December through 26 December, inclusive, and such period shall not have been considered in computing the time allowed for completion of a Task Order.

No work shall be performed during the period of 1 April through 30 June, inclusive, of each year (pallid sturgeon spawning season), and such period has not been considered in computing the time allowed for completion.

1.3 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES-CONSTRUCTION

(a) If the Contractor fails to complete the work within the time specified in the contract, the Contractor shall pay liquidated damages to the Government in the amount of $1,528.00 for each calendar day of delay until the work is completed or accepted.

(b) If the Government terminates the Contractor's right to proceed, liquidated damages will continue to accrue until the work is completed. These liquidated damages are in addition to excess costs of repurchase under the Termination clause. (FAR 52.211-12)

1.4 CONTRACT DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS

(a) The Government will provide to the Contractor, without charge, one set of contract drawings and specifications, except publications incorporated into the technical provisions by reference, in electronic or paper media as chosen by the Contracting Officer.

DOCUMENT 00 80 00.00 09 Page 5

(b) The Contractor shall --

(1) Check all drawings furnished immediately upon receipt;

(2) Compare all drawings and verify the figures before laying out the work;

(3) Promptly notify the Contracting Officer of any discrepancies;

(4) Be responsible for any errors that might have been avoided by complying with this paragraph (b); and

(5) Reproduce and print contract drawings and specifications as needed.

(c) In general --

(1) Large-scale drawings shall govern small scale drawings; and

(2) The Contractor shall follow figures marked on drawings in preference to scale measurements.

(d) Omissions from the drawings or specifications or the misdescription of details of work which are manifestly necessary to carry out the intent of the drawings and specifications, or that are customarily performed, shall not relieve the Contractor from performing such omitted or misdescribed details of the work. The Contractor shall perform such details as if fully and correctly set forth and described in the drawings and specifications.

(e) The work shall conform to the specifications and the contract drawings identified on the following index of drawings:

1.5 CORRESPONDENCE AND ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION

For ease and speed of communications, both the Government and Contractor

DOCUMENT 00 80 00.00 09 Page 6 shall exchange correspondence and all other documents duplicate in both hard paper copy and electronic format. Inclusion of an electronic copy is in addition to any other parts of the contract that may specify a minimum number of hard copies to be submitted, such as for shop drawing transmittals. Electronic submission can be accomplished by one of the following methods: email, file upload to the following website https://safe.armdec.army.mil/SAFE, or through the (RMS-CM) software interface with the Resident Management System (RMS). Format for electronic submissions will be in portable document format (.pdf).

Documents include all general correspondence, administrative plans, all material submittals including shop drawings, progress schedules, submittal registers, requests for information (RFIs), Quality Control (QC) test results, pay requests, etc. Paper documents will govern, in the event of discrepancy with the electronic version. Generally, paper documents will also govern where effective receipt dates are required, such as Contractor claims submitted under the Disputes clause of the contract and progress payment requests. However in the case of administrative plans, shop drawings and other submittals transmitted for government review, both the electronic and hard copies are required to begin the review process, so the effective date of receipt will be the date when both the electronic and hard copies are received by the government.

1.6 (S-102) CONTRACTOR SUPPLY AND USE OF ELECTRONIC SOFTWARE FOR

PROCESSING DAVIS-BACON ACT CERTIFIED LABOR PAYROLLS

The Contractor is encouraged to use a commercially-available electronic system to process and submit certified payrolls electronically to the Government.
