Items of work include, but are not limited to, transportation to the alternate placement site and any other operations required to facilitate hauling the material to the alternate site and measuring the material to be hauled as specified.

Measurement: Hauling of material to the alternate site shall be measured for payment by the cubic yard in the original position within the channel reach to be excavated during these hauling operations. Quantity surveys shall be performed immediately prior to beginning the hauling operation and immediately following the completion of the hauling operation. The quantity to be paid will be determined by determining the volume between the DTM surfaces generated from these quantity surveys.

5. Section 31 00 00.00 13 – Add Paragraph 3.7.4 as follows:

3.7.4 Alternate Placement Site – Optional Item

If the option for the Alternate Placement Site is exercised, the Contractor shall transport the volume of acceptable excavated material listed in the bid schedule to the location shown on the map attached at the end of this section. Grading, placement in lifts and compaction of the material is not required. Clearing and grubbing of the alternate placement area prior to placement of material is not required. All site preparation and grading will be done by others. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer a minimum of 7 calendar days in advance of beginning these hauling operations. The Contractor shall coordinate with other contractors preparing the alternate placement site to ensure that the material is placed in a location acceptable to the contractor preparing the alternate placement site and schedule the hauling operations to provide for a minimum of delays and interferences. Coordination shall be through the Contracting Officer.

3.7.4.1 Schedule and Operational Requirements

The Contractor will be notified whether the option will be exercised no later than April 30th, 2014.

The Contractor shall be responsible for planning his operations in an efficient manner that results in the proper amount of material being hauled to the alternate placement site.

3.7.4.2 Acceptable Excavated Material

Acceptable excavated material to be hauled to the alternate placement site shall be classified as CL or CH under the Unified Classification System. The borings show areas of gravelly sand and silt above the channel bottom. Should the contractor run into pockets of material classified as coarse grained or silts under the Unified Classification System in the channel excavation during the period when hauling to the alternate placement site, the Contractor shall adjust the excavation depth or areas of excavation to avoid these materials.

3.7.4.3 Determination of Quantity Hauled

The quantity of material hauled to the alternate placement site shall be determined by surveying the channel reach to be excavated during these hauling operations prior to starting the hauling operation and after the topsoil has been stripped. A second survey shall take place following the completion of the hauling operation. Quantity surveys shall be performed in accordance with section 01 71 23.00 13 CONTRACTOR SURVEYS.
