1.8 LAYOUT OF WORK

Read this paragraph in conjunction with the Clause LAYOUT OF WORK (FAR 52.236-17) of Section 00700 CONTRACT CLAUSES in Volume 1.

SECTION 01 11 00 Page 6

1.8.1 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.

1.8.2 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.

1.8.3 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 monuments, stakes and other marks established by the Contracting Officer until authorized to remove them, and if such marks or monuments 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.

1.9 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

SECTION 01 11 00 Page 7 by the Contracting Officer and full compensation for such repairs will be made at the applicable contract unit or job prices as fixed and established in the contract. If, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, there are no contract unit or job 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 job 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.

1.10 EXISTING WORK

In addition to FAR 52.236-9, "Protection of Existing Vegetation, Structures, Equipment, Utilities, and Improvements":

a. Remove or alter existing work in such a manner as to prevent injury or damage to any portions of the existing work which remain.

At the completion of operations, existing work shall be in a condition equal to or better than that which existed before new work started.

1.11 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 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.

1.11.1 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.

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
