1. The following water stage, wave, wind, and weather data are provided for inclusion into the subject Plans and Specifications. The following water level datums are provided for information only and are not to be utilized in conjunction with any contract related hydrographic surveying.

2. A technical review has been performed on the following data and this memo, signed by Chief, Water Resources Engineering Branch. This signifies EN-W Branch Quality Control Certification.

a) Water Stages. Water levels in the project area are mainly affected by semi-diurnal tidal fluctuations in the Atlantic Ocean. The project area is also subject to storm surges from hurricanes and tropical storms from June through November. Surges from extratropical storms may affect the area during any time of the year.

Elevations of tidal datums in the vicinity of the project area are provided in the following table.

All datum elevations in this table are referred to mean lower low water (MLLW) and reference the 1983-2001 tidal epoch. These datums are based on values from tide station 8721604 located at the south end of the Trident pier at Port Canaveral from the analysis periods of 01/01/1997 to 12/31/2006 and 03/01/2008 to 02/28/2011. Tidal datums from the Canova, FL station (8721804) are also provided for activities closer to the mitigation reef. The Canova tide station provides tidal datums based on the analysis period of 6/1/1970 to 8/31/1970. These tide stations were established by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Ocean Service (NOS). Additional information on these and other nearby tide stations is available at this NOAA website: http://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/stations.html

Trident Pier, FL (8721604) Highest Observed Water Level (26 Sep 2004) = 7.93 Feet Mean Higher High Water (MHHW) = 3.91 Feet Mean High Water (MHW) = 3.56 Feet NAVD88 = 2.86 Feet Mean Sea Level (MSL) = 1.88 Feet Mean Tide Level (MTL) = 1.87 Feet Mean Low Water (MLW) = 0.17 Feet Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) = 0.00 Feet Lowest Observed Water Level (12 Jan 2009) = -1.86 Feet

c) Weather Conditions. The project area is subject to tropical storms and hurricanes from June through November, and to windy and/or rainy weather during any time of the year.

The climate of the area is subtropical, and temperatures below freezing occur rarely. The wet season in the project area is from May through October. Rainfall during these months is closely associated with convective activity. These rainfall events are normally of short duration and amounts are spatially variable. In general, the winter months constitute the dry season. Rainfall during the winter months is usually associated with mid-latitude systems (fronts and low pressure systems) and is distributed in a more spatially uniform pattern. Occasionally, daily rainfall in the dry season can be quite heavy as mid-latitude systems penetrate into central Florida. Dangerous thunderstorms can occur in this area at any time of the year.

It shall be the contractor's responsibility to obtain information concerning weather conditions in the project area. The publication Local Climatological Data - Monthly Summary published by NOAA’s National Climatic Center in Asheville, North Carolina contains climatological and meteorological observations and data relevant to this region. The Annual Summary gives a synopsis of these observations for the period of record. This publication is available for review at the following website: http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/.

3. The average number of days in each calendar month with rain equal to, or greater than, 0.1 inches is provided for the project area in the following table. This information is based on data obtained from the NOAA rain gage located closest to the project area, in Titusville, Florida, at latitude 28.624° N, 80.816° W. The data were obtained from Climatography of the United States No. 20, Climatic Summaries for Selected Sites in Florida publications by the National Climatic Center, NOAA, for the period of record from 1981 through 2010.

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.

1.10 UNITS OF MEASURE

The standard U.S. system of measure may be utilized by the Contractor in the performance of his work. All survey records, official documentation, engineering data, and all correspondence, including any submittals and shop drawings, shall clearly denote which system of measure is being utilized, referenced or discussed. Any omission, unprofessional or inaccurate use of a unit of measure on the part of the Contractor shall not relieve him of his responsibilities under the contract terms. The unit of measure used in this specification is the standard U.S. system. The contract drawings denote both standard U.S. system where appropriate. If no unit of measure is indicated on the drawing such as on ranges, stations, slope elevations, and distance numbers, then they are to be considered the standard U.S.

system.
