NOTES:

(a) Bidders shall furnish unit prices for all items listed on the schedule of bid items which require unit prices. If the bidder fails to insert a unit price in the appropriate blank for required items, but does furnish an extended total or an estimated amount for such items, the Government will deem his unit price to be the quotient obtained by dividing the extended estimated amount for that line item by the quantity. IF THE BIDDER OMITS

BOTH THE UNIT PRICE AND THE EXTENDED ESTIMATED AMOUNT FOR ANY ITEM, HIS BID

WILL BE DECLARED NONRESPONSIVE.

(b) All quantities shown on the BIDDING SCHEDULE are estimated quantities except when the unit of measure is shown as "job" or "each".

(c) If a bid or modification to a bid based on unit price is submitted which provides for a lump sum adjustment to the total estimated cost, the application of the lump sum adjustment to the unit price in the schedule must be stated. If it is not stated, the bidder agrees that the lump sum adjustment shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the unit price in the Bid Schedule.

(d) Item Nos. 0002, 0003, 0004, 0005, and 0006 have been subdivided into sub-items. A bid for the work shall include a bid for each of these sub-items.

Bidders should refer to Section 00 80 00.00 09 SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS, paragraph VARIATION IN ESTIMATED QUANTITIES—SUBDIVIDED ITEMS before preparing their bids for these items.

(e) All extensions of the unit price shown will be subject to verification by the Government. In case of variation between the unit price and the extension, the unit price will be considered to be the bid.

(f) Award will be made as a whole to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder as may be in the best interest of the Government.

(g) The Contractor should be aware of the additional surveying and submittal requirements for this contract. See Section 35 21 20.00 09 WATERWAY AND MARINE CONSTRUCTION, paragraph CONSTRUCTION SURVEYS for more information.

Attachment 1 SPECS and TASK ORDER it does not slow construction priority of the dikes as listed in ORDER OF WORK, unless otherwise directed by the Contracting Officer Representative.

3.2.3 Initiating New Work

After work has been started on a dike, the Contractor will not be permitted to suspend work on that dike in order to start work on another dike, unless otherwise directed by the Contracting Officer Representative.

3.3 CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURE

Unless otherwise authorized, the work at the dike locations shall be performed in accordance with the procedure outlined below. Where any of the listed operations are not required, the operations that do apply shall be performed in the same sequence, omitting the inapplicable operations.

a. The area where stone is to be placed shall be grubbed and snagged.

b. Stone placement shall follow the above work as closely as practicable. Stone placement shall proceed from landward to riverward and upstream to downstream for the turndown dikes unless otherwise adjusted in the field as directed by the Contracting Officer Representative. Unless otherwise authorized or directed by the Contracting Officer Representative in writing, the stone shall be placed on the dikes in lifts. Approximately 10 tons of stone per linear foot of dike, or the required quantity if less than 10 tons, shall first be placed for the full length of the dike. The stone shall be placed along the downstream toe of the full section, except where it must be distributed within the base of the full section to prevent exceeding the specified thickness or where the stone is placed by hauling equipment. Sufficient stone shall be on hand to complete the initial lift on each dike.

c. The dike shall then be completed to full grade and section by placing stone in 5-foot lifts. Each lift shall be carried the entire length specified, and low areas and gaps shall be brought to the desired elevation before proceeding with the next lift. In the event other procedures are either authorized or directed, it will be required that a stone blanket not less than 4 feet thick and the full base width be completed not less than 400 feet in advance of completion of the dike to full grade.

d. The longitudinal peaked stone toe dike shall be constructed from upstream to downstream at the location and section as shown on the plans as directed by the Contracting Officer Representative.

Stone Delivered By Barge, Rail, Or Truck. The unit of measurement for stone will be the ton (2,000 pounds). Quantities will be computed to the nearest whole ton. If delivered by barge, the Contracting Officer's

SECTION 01 22 00.00 09 Page 2

Attachment 1 SPECS and TASK ORDER

Representative will measure stone for payment by weight determined by barge displacement. Not less than 10 days prior to unloading stone from any barge for which a displacement table has not previously been furnished and approved, the Contractor shall furnish the Contracting Officer's Representative a Barge Displacement Table. The Contractor shall furnish with the barge displacement tables a drawing or sketch of each barge, dimensioned in sufficient detail to permit checking of the tables. The drawings shall show, as a minimum, the length, width and depth of the barge and dimensions of the rake or rakes. Each such table shall have its accuracy certified by a person or firm, other than the Contractor, customarily performing this service and who has been approved by the Contracting Officer's Representative. Each table submitted shall show the name and/or number of the barge, the barge dimensions, the barge owner, name of the fabricator, certification, and date of certification of the person or firm preparing the table. All new or modified barges shall be field checked for current dimensions by the Contractor, in the presence of the Contracting Officer's Representative. Each table submitted shall contain in parallel columns, the freeboard of the barge in feet and tenths from zero to the full depth of the barge, and the corresponding gross displacement to the nearest ton. Each barge shall be suitably marked with two displacement gaging lines along each side of the barge. Each gaging line shall be painted perpendicular to the edge of the barge and be no less than 4 inches wide and 1 foot long, on both the deck and side of the barge. Barges with rakes shall have the displacement gaging lines placed at each corner of the box section between the rakes. If a barge has a box end or ends, the gaging lines shall be placed approximately four feet from the box end. The freeboard will be measured at the four gaging locations and the displacement determined by the use of the "CELMV Standard Barge Tables" from the average of these measurements. The displacement shall be determined before and after the barge is unloaded and the difference between these values shall be the quantity delivered. (If barge tables are furnished for fresh water and if the Contractor believes that barge displacement measurements made within the task order limits of work are being taken in water that has salinity, he will have the option of obtaining water samples and determining densities or unit weights of these samples. These water samples shall be taken in accordance with the ASTM D 3370 (practice A-Grade Sample) at depths of 4 and 8 feet in the area where measurements are made. Water sampling shall be performed when the barges are measured for quantities, both when fully loaded and when empty. Water samples shall be taken by the Contractor and witnessed by a Contracting Officer's Representative with the use of "Polypro" 2000 ml. water sampler, or equal. Densities shall be determined as specified in ASTM D 1429, (Method D-Hydrometer Method). Testing shall be done for the Contractor by a certified testing laboratory, and test results certified by this laboratory. After review and approval of the test results by the Government, the average of the densities obtained at 4 feet and 8 feet will be used as the suitable salt water conversion factor. In all calculations, the unit of weight of 62.45 pounds/cubic foot will be used for fresh water. If the Contractor does not obtain water samples and densities, then no adjustment or conversion factor will be applied to stone or riprap quantities determined by displacement tables. When stone, not handled by barge, is delivered by truck from a quarry or railroad siding, it shall be weighed on approved scales before being placed in the work. The scales shall be located as near the site as is practicable and shall be tested as often as necessary to ensure accurate weights, as determined by the Contracting Officer's Representative. The Contractor shall furnish the scales and shall weigh the stone in the presence of the Contracting Officer's Representative, who will certify to the correctness thereof.

Weight certificates furnished by a public weighmaster will be acceptable in

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 STONE PLACEMENT

Stone dikes shall be constructed to the elevations, cross sections, tonnage rate, and minimum thicknesses and within the limits shown on the task order drawings. Side slopes shall be determined by the angle of repose of the stone, approximately 1V on 1.25H to 1V on 1.5H. The stone dikes shall be constructed of Graded Stone "A", except as noted Graded Stone "C" on plans and the longitudinal peaked stone toe dike shall be constructed of Graded Stone "C". Stone shall be placed in the dikes in such a manner as to produce a reasonably well-graded mass of stone with the minimum practicable percentage of voids.

For dike construction, a tolerance of 1 foot will be allowed above the specified elevation and no tolerance below the specified elevation, and 1 foot under and 2 feet over the specified crown width, provided these variations are gradual over a minimum distance of 100 feet measured along the dike centerline. No tolerance will be allowed in the specified tonnage rate for the longitudinal peaked stone toe dike. The stone may be placed by either backhoe or dragline equipped with rock bucket; by either front-end loader or bulldozer, except when placing the base blanket subaqueously; and by trucks and other methods, if approved by the Contracting Officer's Representative in writing. Additional stone shall be added if either soundings or sections indicate such to be necessary. The large stones shall be well distributed throughout the mass and the finished dikes shall be free from pockets of small stones and clusters of large stones. Bulldozing stone into excavated trenches will not be permitted.

Subaqueous placement of stone will not be permitted at river stage limitations as specified in Section 01 15 00.00 09 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS, paragraph RIVER STAGE LIMITATION, without prior approval by the Contracting Officer 's Representative in writing, or at any river stage when site and current conditions prevail which, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer's Representative, make construction operations either impractical or uneconomical.

3.2 PLACEMENT CONTROL

The Contractor shall be responsible for control of the placement of stone and he shall furnish, operate, and maintain necessary equipment and furnish all necessary material and supplies. At all times when stone placement from floating plant is underway, the means by which the Contractor positions his plant, equipment, and stone supply barges must function accurately and consistently. The Contractor's plant and equipment shall have a dragline or backhoe capable of being mobile on the spud barge and the flexibility to perform stone placement by the drag-off method. The kick-off method for stone placement shall not be used unless approved by the Contracting Officer's Representative. Whatever the method employed, it
