(1) STONE DELIVERED BY BARGE.

SECTION 01 22 00.00 11 Page 2

a. MEASUREMENT. Measurement shall be by displacement.

b. BARGE TABLES. The Contractor shall furnish, not later than 5 calendar days after receipt of notice to proceed on each Task Order, a List of Barges, by name or number, which he anticipates using on the contract/Task Order. Additional barges may be used during the contract/Task Order life, however, every barge must be certified. A delay in payment may occur, if the proposed barge is not already certified. No payment will be made for stone unloaded from uncertified barges until such time as the barge is certified. Certification can be anticipated approximately 4 weeks after submission of the drawings to the Contracting Officer or designated representative.

c. BARGE CERTIFICATION. A barge is considered certified once the barge is listed on the "MISSISSIPPI VALLEY DIVISION (MVD) BARGE DISPLACEMENT TABLES INDEX OF BARGES" with a corresponding MVD Standardized Barge Table. To begin the certification process, the Contractor shall submit official barge construction drawings to the Contracting Officer or designated representative. The drawings shall show, as a minimum, the length, width, and depth of the barge and dimensions of the rake(s) and/or tangent(s). A MVD Standardized Barge Table will be generated, provided to the Contractor, and incorporated into the "MVD BARGE DISPLACEMENT TABLES INDEX OF BARGES" upon certification of the barge. Each MVD Standardized Barge Table will contain 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.

d. DISPLACEMENT GAGING LINES. Each barge shall be suitably marked with two displacement gaging lines on 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 gage 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.

e. DISPLACEMENT DETERMINATION. The freeboard will be measured at the 4 gaging locations and the displacement determined by the use of the MVD Standardized 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. Prior to displacement measurements being taken on loaded or partially loaded barges, the below deck compartments shall be inspected for an excessive amount of water. If an excessive amount of water exists as determined by the Quality Assurance Representative, the barge must be pumped out before displacement measurements are taken. Prior to a partially loaded barge being moved from one task order location to a different task order location, displacement measurements shall be taken of the partially loaded barge to determine the quantity of product off-loaded at the initial site. Upon arrival of the partially loaded barge at the next site, displacement measurements shall be taken again to account for any lost product.

(2) STONE DELIVERED BY TRUCK. 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 of work as practicable and shall be tested as often as necessary to ensure accurate weights, as determined by the

SECTION 01 22 00.00 11 Page 3

Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall furnish the scales and shall weigh the stone in the presence of a Government Quality Assurance Representative, who will certify the correctness thereof. Weight certificates furnished by a public weighmaster will be acceptable in lieu of such procedures when authorized by the Contracting Officer.

(COR).

1.11.2 Information Only

All submittals not requiring Government approval will be for information only. They are not considered to be "shop drawings" within the terms of the Contract Clause referred to above.

1.12 APPROVED SUBMITTALS

The Contracting Officer's approval of submittals shall not be construed as a complete check, but will indicate only that the general method of construction, materials, detailing and other information are satisfactory.

Approval will not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for any error which may exist, as the Contractor under the CQC requirements of this contract is responsible for design, dimensions, all design extensions, such as the design of adequate connections and details, etc., and the satisfactory construction of all work. After submittals have been approved by the Contracting Officer, no resubmittal for the purpose of substituting

SECTION 01 33 00 Page 9 materials or equipment will be considered unless accompanied by an explanation of why a substitution is necessary.

1.13 DISAPPROVED SUBMITTALS

The Contractor shall make all corrections required by the Contracting Officer and promptly furnish a corrected submittal in the form and number of copies specified for the initial submittal. If the Contractor considers any correction indicated on the submittals to constitute a change to the contract, a notice in accordance with the Contract Clause "Changes" shall be given promptly to the Contracting Officer.

1.14 WITHHOLDING OF PAYMENT

Payment for materials incorporated in the work will not be made if required approvals have not been obtained.

1.15 GENERAL

The Contractor shall make submittals as required by the specifications.

The Contracting Officer may request submittals in addition to those specified when deemed necessary to adequately describe the work covered in the respective sections. Units of weights and measures used on all submittals shall be the same as those used in the contract drawings. Each submittal shall be complete and in sufficient detail to allow ready determination of compliance with contract requirements. Prior to submittal, all items shall be checked and approved by the CQC System Manager and each item shall be stamped, signed, and dated by the CQC System Manager indicating action taken. Proposed deviations from the contract requirements shall be clearly identified. Submittals shall include items such as: Contractor's, manufacturer's, or fabricator's drawings;

descriptive literature including (but not limited to) catalog cuts, diagrams, operating charts or curves; test reports; test cylinders;

samples; O&M manuals (including parts list); certifications; warranties;

and other such required submittals. Submittals requiring Government approval shall be scheduled and made prior to the acquisition of the material or equipment covered thereby. Samples remaining upon completion of the work shall be picked up and disposed of in accordance with manufacturer's Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and in compliance with existing laws and regulations.

1.16 SUBMITTAL REGISTER

At the end of this section is a submittal register showing items of equipment and materials for which submittals are required by the specifications; this list may not be all inclusive and additional submittals may be required. The Government will provide the initial submittal register in electronic format. Thereafter, the Contractor shall maintain a complete list of all submittals, including completion of all data columns. Dates on which submittals are received and returned by the Government will be tracked. The Contractor shall monitor the progress of all submittals.

1.17 SCHEDULING

Submittals covering component items forming a system or items that are interrelated shall be scheduled to be coordinated and submitted concurrently. Certifications to be submitted with the pertinent drawings shall be so scheduled. Adequate time (a minimum of 21 calendar days

SECTION 01 33 00 Page 10 exclusive of mailing time) shall be allowed and shown on the register for review and approval. No delay damages or time extensions will be allowed for time lost in late submittals.

1.18 TRANSMITTAL SHEET (ENG FORM 4025)

A sample transmittal sheet (ENG Form 4025), which can be found at http://www.mvm.usace.army.mil/BusinessWithUs/Contracting/Forms.aspx shall be used for submitting both Government approved and information only submittals in accordance with the instructions on the reverse side of the form. Additionally, these forms are included in the RMS 3.0 software that is available for Contractor use. The transmittal sheet shall be properly completed by filling out all the heading blank spaces and identifying each item submitted. Special care shall be exercised to ensure proper listing of the specification paragraph and/or sheet number of the contract drawings pertinent to the data submitted for each item.

1.19 GOVERNMENT APPROVED SUBMITTALS

Upon completion of review of submittals requiring Government approval, the submittals will be identified as having received approval by being so stamped and dated. Three copies of the submittal will be retained by the Contracting Officer and three copies of the submittal will be returned to the Contractor.

1.20 INFORMATION ONLY SUBMITTALS

Normally submittals for information only will not be returned. Approval of the Contracting Officer is not required on information only submittals.

The Government reserves the right to require the Contractor to resubmit any item found not to comply with the contract. This does not relieve the Contractor from the obligation to furnish material conforming to the plans and specifications; will not prevent the Contracting Officer from requiring removal and replacement of nonconforming material incorporated in the work;

and does not relieve the Contractor of the requirement to furnish samples for testing by the Government laboratory or for check testing by the Government in those instances where the technical specifications so prescribe.

The APP shall interface with the Contractor's overall safety and health program.

Include any portions of the Contractor's overall safety and health program referenced in the APP in the applicable APP element and made site-specific.

The Government considers the Prime Contractor to be the "controlling authority" for all work site safety and health of the subcontractors.

Contractors are responsible for informing their subcontractors of the safety provisions under the terms of the contract and the penalties for noncompliance, coordinating the work to prevent one craft from interfering with or creating hazardous working conditions for other crafts, and inspecting subcontractor operations to ensure that accident prevention responsibilities are being carried out. The APP shall be signed by the

SECTION 01 35 26 Page 5 person and firm (senior person) preparing the APP, the Contractor, the on-site superintendent, the designated site safety and health officer, the Contractor Quality control Manager, and any designated CSP and/or CIH.

Submit the APP to the Administrative Contracting Officer at least seven(7) calendar days prior to the date of the preconstruction conference for acceptance. Work cannot proceed without an accepted APP.

Once accepted by the Administrative Contracting Officer, the APP and attachments will be enforced as part of the contract. Disregarding the provisions of this contract or the accepted APP will be cause for stopping of work, at the discretion of the Administrative Contracting Officer, until the matter has been rectified.

Once work begins, changes to the accepted APP shall be made with the knowledge and concurrence of the Administrative Contracting Officer, project superintendent, SSHO and quality control manager. Should any severe hazard exposure, i.e. imminent danger, become evident, stop work in the area, secure the area, and develop a plan to remove the exposure and control the hazard. Notify the Administrative Contracting Officer within 24 hours of discovery. Eliminate/remove the hazard. In the interim, take all necessary action to restore and maintain safe working conditions in order to safeguard onsite personnel, visitors, the public (as defined by ASSE/SAFE A10.34,) and the environment.

Copies of the accepted plan will be maintained at the Area Engineer's office and at the job site. Continuously review and amend the APP, as necessary, throughout the life of the contract. Incorporate unusual or high-hazard activities not identified in the original APP as they are discovered.

1.7 ACTIVITY HAZARD ANALYSIS (AHA)

The Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA) format shall be in accordance with USACE EM 385-1-1, Section 1. Submit the AHA for review at least seven(7) calendar days prior to the start of each phase. Format subsequent AHAs as amendments to the APP. The analysis should be used during daily inspections to ensure the implementation and effectiveness of the activity's safety and health controls.

The AHA list will be reviewed periodically (at least monthly) at the Contractor supervisory safety meeting and updated as necessary when procedures, scheduling, or hazards change.

Develop the activity hazard analyses using the project schedule as the basis for the activities performed. Any activities listed on the project schedule will require an AHA. The AHAs will be developed by the contractor, supplier or subcontractor and provided to the prime contractor for submittal to the Contracting Officer.

1.8 DISPLAY OF SAFETY INFORMATION

Within 15 calendar days after commencement of work, erect a safety bulletin board/safety sign at the job site.
