1.2 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

1.2.1 Project Description

1.2.1.1 Background

The Guajataca Dam and Reservoir, owned by the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA), supplies domestic water and public irrigation to northwest Puerto Rico. The hydraulic-fill embankment dam was constructed in 1928. It stands 121 feet in height with a crest of approximately 1,037 feet in length, 31.2 feet in width, at an elevation of 664.4 feet.

During Hurricane Maria, the dam's outlet works were damaged and resulted in the loss of ability to maintain water supply deliveries, and affected the ability to draw down the reservoir's pool.

The dam is operated as follows: Water flows from the lake/reservoir into the intake tower via two (2) vertical sluice gates within the concrete structure. Gates are mounted either on the interior or exterior of the structure and may be protected by trash racks. The gates are separately operated manually by a hand crank. A rising stem is connected from each gate to a pedestal operator at the top of the tower. When at least one gate is opened, water flows from the intake tower into the outlet tunnel, where the tunnel branches to a 96 inch pipe which discharges into the river and a 54 inch pipe which discharges into the water supply canal. These may referred to the river outlet and canal outlet. Each of the river and canal outlet is controlled via a high pressure sluice gate, operated by a hydraulic power system. The 54 inch pipe to the water supply canal has an outlet house with a sleeve valve for energy dissipation before the water enters the open channel.

It is assumed the stem is bound within the operator at the stem thread to lifting nut interface, and movement either up or down by the operator is not possible. The gate is stuck approximately half open.

This construction contract is for removal and replacement of the following gate components of Gate C residing underwater in the intake tower: gate stem, stem guides, and operator.

SECTION 01 11 00 Page 2

1.2.1.2 Definitions

Reservoir: The reservoir is the water pool that is held behind the dam.

The reservoir may be referred to as the upstream pool, and its water elevation may be referred to as the headwater.

Canal Outlet: The dam supplies water from the reservoir to two discharges.

The canal outlet, also known as the water supply canal, is used for municipal drinking water supply.

River Outlet: The dam supplies water from the reservoir to two discharges.

The river outlet supplies water to the Rio Guajataca River.

Intake Gates: Sluice gates in the intake tower which resides within the reservoir behind the dam. The gates are cast iron 48 in x 60 in in size.

High Pressure (HP) Gates: Sluice gates are located in the outlet tunnel, which is supplied with water by the intake gates. Gates are seating-head cast iron 48 in x 48 in in size.

1.2.2 Detailed Description

1.2.2.1 Opening and Securing of Gate C

The Contractor must open and secure the gate in the fully open position within 30 calendar days after the Notice to Proceed (NTP) has been issued.

The gate is currently stuck approximately half open and cannot be operated by the existing operator. It is assumed the stem is bound within the operator at the stem thread to lifting nut interface and movement neither up or down is possible. A fully opened gate allows maximum water flow in the event the pool behind the dam needs to be lowered.

1.2.2.2 Removal of Intake Tower Gate C Stem and Operator

The Contractor shall remove a quantity of one (1) gate stem and operator for the gate attached to the intake tower residing within the lake/reservoir behind the dam, known as Gate C.

Two (2) sluice gates, known as Gate A and C, are similar in construction and are cast iron with dimensions of 48 in x 60 in. Gate A is at elevation

167.56 m and Gate C is at 180.53 m. Gate C is of the seating-head type. No work will be performed on Gate A.

Gate C is mounted on the outside of the intake tower, within an intake shaft that has dimensions of 30" x 60". The shaft has a steel trash rack over it which must be removed to access the gate. A new trash rack must be fabricated and installed after work is complete.

Gate C has a 3 3/8" rising cast iron stem with a thread pitch of 2 threads/inch which connects from the sluice gate up to the operator inside the intake tower housing, which is manually operated by a hand crank. The stem assembly and operator equipment shall be removed, including the stem, stem guides and anchors, bearings, and pedestal floor stands and baseplates. The existing concrete anchors for the pedestals shall be cut flush with the concrete floor.

The stem of Gate C is mounted on the exterior of the structure and is approximately 80 ft in length. Work shall be performed in the wet and a dive team is required.

SECTION 01 11 00 Page 3

Flow through Gate C can be stopped by closing both High Pressure gates, operated by a hydraulic system, and must be locked out/tagged out prior to work beginning. The Contractor shall coordinate any equipment operation with the Government. Any system operations must be completed by the Government.

1.2.2.3 Installation of Intake Tower Gate C Stem and Operator

After removal of the stem is completed, the Contractor shall install a new stainless steel stem and operator.

PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 SUBMITTALS

Government approval is required for submittals with a "G" designation;

submittals not having a "G" designation are for information only. When used, a designation following the "G" designation identifies the office that will review the submittal for the Government. The following shall be submitted in accordance with Section 01 33 00 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES. Submit the following preconstruction submittal items no later than 10 calendar days after Notice to Proceed:

SD-01 Preconstruction Submittals

RMS Schedules; G, RO

Bar Chart; G, RO

"S" Curve; G, RO

1.2 CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULES

Use work breakdown structure of "CLINs", "Features" and "Pay Activities".

"CLINs" are Contract Line Item Numbers from bid schedule. "Features" are quality control grouping of like "Pay Activities" requiring similar quality control. "Pay Activities" are scheduled work activities or events. Most "Pay Activities" have resources (time, money, labor, material and equipment). Use "Pay Activities" with no dollars allocate to schedule administrative work activities or events.

1.2.1 RMS SCHEDULES

See Section 01 45 04 CONTRACTOR QUALITY CONTROL. After receipt of Notice of Award, create "Activity Schedule" and "Feature Schedule" in RMS, in accordance with the terms of FAR 52.236-15 SCHEDULES FOR CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS. Submit RMS Schedules as part of initial RMS export. Data can be entered manually or Contractor has option to use standard data exchange format (SDEF.txt file). Cost allocate each "Pay Activity" to an assigned CLIN. Sum of "Pay Activities" must equal CLIN totals so there is no variance. "Features" duration is early start of first "Pay Activity" to late finish date of last "Pay Activity". Primavera P6 v6.x and later versions (v7.x and v8.x) allow export of a file for conversion to standard data exchange format (SDEF.txt) file format. Primavera provides a utility that will convert the export file to an SDEF.txt file. An SDEF.txt file can then be used to directly import the Primavera schedule into RMS. The Contractor shall be responsible for providing all programs and hardware necessary to prepare initial and progress schedules. The required Primavera P6 Activity Code Structure is as follows:

SECTION 01 32 01 Page 2

Field # Code Length Field Description 1 WRKP 3 Workers per day 2 RESP 4 Responsibility 3 AREA 4 Area 4 MODF 6 Modification or Claim # 5 BIDI 6 Bid Item 6 PHAS 2 Phase 7 CATW 1 Category of Work 8 FOW 20 Feature of Work

1.2.2 Bar Chart with "S"Curve

Submit the initial Bar Chart with target "S" Curve no later than 20 calendar days after award or 5 calendar days after Notice to Proceed, whichever is later. Contractor may create a manual Bar Chart and "S" curve or use computer software of his choice. Scheduling software allows for easier updates and changes. See sample Bar Chart and "S" Curve below. The Bar Chart shall include an appropriate level of detail including activities, submittals, Government review periods, material/equipment delivery, utility outages, on-site construction, inspection, testing, and closeout activities. Contractor's submissions shall follow the direction of the Contracting Officer regarding reasonable activity durations.

Reasonable durations are those that allow the progress of activities to be accurately determined between payment periods. All planned durations must take into account weather and climate data, work schedules, and contract restrictions on work periods. No single on-site construction activity shall exceed 30 days in duration without further breakdown in detail.

Contractor has an option to schedule an "early finish" date with "float" until contract required completion date. Schedules with "early finish" are for the benefit of the Contractor, and the Contracting Officer may elect to continue to make balanced progress payments based on funds availability.

Neither Contractor nor Contracting Officer own "float" on early finish schedules. Contractor shall not claim added costs for delay for float used. When unit price CLINs have quantity variations and impact weighted percentage of a "Pay Activity" by five percent or more, revise bar chart and "S" Curve to accurately reflect impact of variation of estimated quantities. See the next page for sample Bar Chart and "S" Curve.

1.3 UPDATED SCHEDULES

Maintain construction progress schedules submission up-to-date. Ensure submittal is updated and includes RMS Schedules, Bar Charts, "S" Curves and progress narrative when requesting progress payment. Submit Bar Chart , "S" Curve schedule when schedule is revised. Reflect any changes occurring

SECTION 01 32 01 Page 4 since the last update.

When work is delayed by causes beyond the Contractor's control, the Contractor is obligated to notify the ACO within 10 days of the beginning of the delay. The Contractor is obligated to submit a cost and time proposal, illustrating the influence of each change or delay on the Contract Completion Date or contract required Milestone. No time extension will be granted nor delay damages paid unless a delay occurs which consumes all available Project Float, and extends the Projected Finish beyond the Contract Completion Date.
