1.7.1 Established Project Control

The Government has established monuments along the work site(s). Each monument is represented in the contract drawings by a Designation and in most cases, an alphanumeric Permanent Identifier (PID). Information concerning the location and elevations can be found within the Survey Notes on the plan sheets. The Survey Notes for each included field survey will cite a particular survey number, and specify the control used to conduct that survey. Additional information is included in the Survey Notes that must be duplicated if an attempt to recreate the subject survey is desired.

For navigation channels, the Government has established tidal calibration sites for projects constructed and maintained to a tidal datum. Each tidal calibration site is represented in the plan sheet drawings by Station ID, and is cited in the Survey Notes. All projects constructed and maintained to a tidal datum shall be calibrated to the Station ID specified in the plan sheet drawings. Information regarding the location and associated benchmarks of the referenced Station ID is included in the Monument Description section of these specifications.

See Section 00 31 21 CONTROL MONUMENT DESCRIPTIONS.

SECTION 01 11 00 Page 4

1.7.2 Layout

From the monuments, control data and elevations established by the Government, the Contractor shall complete the layout of the work and shall be responsible for all measurements that may be required for the execution of the work to the location and limit marks prescribed in the specifications or on the contract drawings, subject to such modifications as the Contracting Officer may require to meet changed conditions or as a result of necessary modifications to the contract work.

1.7.3 Survey

The Contractor shall furnish, at his own expense, such stakes, templates, platforms, equipment, tools and material, and all labor as may be required in laying out any part of the work from the monuments, control data and elevations established by the Government. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to maintain and preserve all stakes and other marks established by the Contracting Officer until authorized to remove them, and if such marks are destroyed by the Contractor or through his negligence, prior to their authorized removal, they may be replaced by the Contracting Officer, at his discretion, and the expense of replacement will be deducted from any amounts due or to become due the Contractor. The Contracting Officer may require that work be suspended at any time when location and limit marks established by the Contractor are not reasonably adequate to permit checking of the work.

1.8 DAMAGE TO WORK

The responsibility for damage to any part of the permanent work shall be as set forth in Clause PERMITS AND RESPONSIBILITIES of Section 00700 CONTRACT CLAUSES in Volume 1. However, if, in the judgment of the Contracting Officer, any part of the permanent work performed by the Contractor is damaged by flood, earthquake, hurricane, or tornado, which damage is not due to the failure of the Contractor to take reasonable precautions or to exercise sound engineering and construction practices in the conduct of the work, the Contractor will make the repairs as ordered by the Contracting Officer and full compensation for such repairs will be made at the applicable contract unit or lump sum prices as fixed and established in the contract. If, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, there are no contract unit or lump sum prices applicable to any part of such work, an equitable adjustment pursuant to Clause CHANGES of Section 00700 CONTRACT CLAUSES in Volume 1 will be made as full compensation for the repairs of that part of the permanent work for which there are no applicable contract unit or lump sum prices. Except as herein provided, damage to all work (including temporary construction), utilities, materials, equipment and plant shall be repaired to the satisfaction of the Contracting Officer at the Contractor's expense, regardless of the cause of such damage.

1.9 TIME EXTENSIONS FOR UNUSUALLY SEVERE WEATHER (31 OCT 1989)

This provision specifies the procedure for the determination of time extensions for unusually severe weather in accordance with the Clause DEFAULT (FIXED-PRICE CONSTRUCTION) of Section 00700 CONTRACT CLAUSES in Volume 1. In order for the Contracting Officer to award a time extension under this clause, the following conditions must be satisfied:

a. The weather experienced at the project site during the contract period must be found to be unusually severe; that is, more severe than

SECTION 01 11 00 Page 5 the adverse weather anticipated for the project location during any given month.

b. The unusually severe weather must actually cause a delay to the completion of the project. The delay must be beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor.

1.9.1 Schedule of Monthly Anticipated Adverse Weather Delays

The schedule of monthly anticipated adverse weather delays is based upon National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) or similar data for the project location and will constitute the base line for monthly weather time evaluations. The Contractor's progress schedule must reflect these anticipated adverse weather delays in all weather dependent activities.

See Section 00 33 50 WEATHER, WATER STAGE AND TIDE DATA. A reasonable number of anticipated weather delay work days is obtained from the average number of days per month with precipitation greater than that indicated in Section 00 33 50 WEATHER, WATER STAGE AND TIDE DATA rounded to the nearest whole number.

1.9.2 Contractor Responsibility

The project area may be affected by stormy, windy and/or rainy weather, including thunderstorms, during any time of the year. The Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining information concerning rain, wind and wave conditions that could influence safety, hauling and placement operations prior to submitting a proposal or bid. The Contractor's progress schedule must reflect these anticipated adverse weather delays in all-weather dependent activities. A list of potential sources providing climatological and meteorological observations and data for the project area is provided.

a. Contractor shall research the project site conditions and incorporate potential adverse weather delays into their schedule prior to submitting a proposal or bid. The Contractor shall develop a schedule of monthly anticipated adverse weather based on the equipment to be used to complete the project and determine the conditions that would cause them to cease operations using the sources provided in Section 00 33 50 WEATHER, WATER STAGE AND TIDE DATA. The Contractor's progress schedule must reflect these anticipated adverse weather delays in all weather dependent activities.

b. Upon acknowledgment of the Notice to Proceed (NTP) and continuing throughout the contract, the Contractor will record on the daily CQC report the occurrence of adverse weather and unusually severe weather with the purpose to note impact to normally scheduled work. Actual adverse weather delay days must prevent work on critical activities for 50 percent or more of the Contractor's schedule to be considered "unusually severe weather".

c. The number of actual adverse weather delay days shall include days impacted by actual adverse weather, be calculated chronologically from the first to the last day of each month, and be recorded as full days.

If the number of actual adverse weather delay days exceeds the number of days anticipated for adverse weather by the Contractor, the Contracting Officer may convert any qualifying delays to calendar days, giving full consideration for equivalent fair weather work days that should have been anticipated for the conditions at the project location.

3.1.3 Preservation and Recovery of Historic, Archeological, and Cultural Resources

3.1.3.1 Applicable Law

A number of Federal laws require protection of cultural resources. Two laws, in particular, can be potentially involved with dredging activities:

(1) the National Historic Preservation Act, as amended; and, (2) the Abandoned Shipwreck Act.

3.1.3.2 Known Resources

If known historic, archeological and cultural resources within the Contractor's work area(s) are present, it will be designated as a "potentially significant cultural resource" on the contract drawings or other documents. If so designated, the Contractor shall install protection for these resources and shall be responsible for their preservation during the contract's duration. The Contractor shall not distribute maps or other information on these resource locations except for distribution among the Contractor's staff with a "need to know" technical responsibility for

SECTION 01 57 20 Page 10 protecting the resources.

3.1.3.3 Inadvertent Discoveries

If, during construction activities, the Contractor observes items that may have historic or archeological value, such observations shall be reported immediately to the Contracting Officer so that the appropriate Corps staff may be notified and a determination for what, if any, additional action is needed. Examples of historic, archeological and cultural resources are bones, remains, artifacts, shell, midden, charcoal or other deposits, rocks or coral, evidences of agricultural or other human activity, alignments, and constructed features. The Contractor shall cease all activities that may result in the destruction of these resources and shall prevent his employees from further removing, or otherwise damaging, such resources.

The possibility of encountering submerged cultural resources is inherent in dredging and snagging operations. Such findings could include shipwrecks, shipwreck debris fields (such as steam engine parts), prehistoric watercraft (such as log "dugouts"), and other structural features intact or displaced. The materials may be deeply buried in sediment, resting in shallow sediments or above them, or protruding into water. Suspected cultural materials inadvertently gathered from a water-saturated context should be kept moist by re-immersion, spraying, or some other expedient means of wetting until the appropriate Corps staff provide further directives. No interviews or other contact with media shall occur without clear authorization from the Contracting Officer or the appropriate Corps representative.

3.1.3.4 Claims for Downtime due to Inadvertent Discoveries

Upon discovery and subsequent reporting of a possible inadvertent discovery of cultural resources, the Contractor shall seek to continue work well away from, or otherwise protectively avoiding, the area of interest, or in some other manner that strives to continue productive activities in keeping with the contract. Should an inadvertent discovery be of the nature that substantial impact(s) to the work schedule are evident, such delays shall be coordinated with the Contracting Officer. Contract adjustments resulting from compliance with this paragraph shall be determined in accordance with Clause DIFFERING SITE CONDITIONS of Section 00700 CONTRACT CLAUSES in Volume 1.

3.1.4 Protection of Water Resources

The Contractor shall keep construction activities under surveillance, management, and control to avoid pollution of surface, ground waters, and wetlands. The Contractor shall plan his operation and perform all work necessary to minimize adverse impact or violation of water quality standards. Special management techniques as set out below shall be implemented to control water pollution by the listed construction activities which are included in this contract. The Contractor's construction methods shall protect wetland and surface water areas from damage due to mechanical grading, erosion, sedimentation and turbid discharges. There shall be no storage or stockpiling of equipment, tools, or materials within wetlands or along the shoreline within the littoral zone unless specifically authorized.

3.1.4.3 Oil, Fuel, and Hazardous Substance Spill Prevention and Mitigation

The Contractor shall prevent oil, fuel, or other hazardous substances from entering the air, ground, drainage, local bodies of water, or wetlands.

This shall be accomplished by design and procedural controls. In the event that a spill occurs despite the design and procedural controls, the following shall occur:

(1) Immediate action shall be taken to contain and cleanup any spill of oil, fuel or other hazardous substance.

(2) Spills shall be immediately reported to the Contracting Officer.

(3) Spill contingency planning shall be strictly in accordance with the criteria of 40 CFR, Part 109.

(4) To control the spread of any potential spill, absorbent materials shall be readily available and capable of absorbing the contents of the single largest tank.

(5) To control the spread of any potential spill, the Contractor shall provide a written certification of commitment of manpower, equipment, and materials required to expeditiously cleanup and dispose of spill materials.

a. Spill Preventive Systems: System design and installation requirements have been discussed at the beginning of this Section.

Temporary or portable tanks shall conform to applicable Federal, State and local codes and requirements and shall not be placed where they may be affected by storm, flooding, or washout. Diversionary structures for spills shall be put in place in advance where practical. Both spill preventive systems and any deviations from associated requirements shall be approved by the Contracting Officer prior to implementation.

b. Liabilities: The Contractor shall be liable in the amounts established in 40 CFR, Part 113 when it can be shown that oil was discharged as a result of willful negligence or willful misconduct.

The penalty for failure to report the discharge of oil shall be in accordance with the provision of 33 CFR, Part 153.

3.1.5 Protection of Fish and Wildlife Resources

The Contractor shall keep construction activities under surveillance, management, and control to minimize interference with, disturbance to, and damage of fish and wildlife. Species that require specific attention along with measures for their protection shall be listed in the Contractor's Environmental Protection Plan prior to the beginning of construction operation.
