STATEMENT OF WORK

LOCK 8 WINTER MAINTENANCE – DEWATERING

CONCRETE SUPPLY AND DELIVERY

SCOPE OF WORK

1. General. The work shall consist of the concrete being supplied for Lock 8 Winter Maintenance. A total of approximately 130 cy3 shall be delivered and placed by methods of pumping to Lock and Dam No.8.

This amount could vary as the final inspections cannot be completed until the lock chamber is emptied in early December. The placement areas include the upstream bulk head supporting blocks, the downstream bulk head sill beam, and the vertical concrete repair located on the Land and Intermediate wall inside the lock chamber. The proposed bid shall provide for all labor, equipment, materials, and supplies necessary for this work.

2. Construction Schedule. The concrete supplier shall coordinate with the Government Representative for exact placement times, dates and quantities. However, tentative delivery dates are set for mid January 2014 through early March 2014.

3. Site Location.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers St. Paul District Lock and Dam No. 8 4405 Highway 35 (Box 10) Genoa, WI 54632-0265

4. Submittals. The following shall be submitted to the Government for approval no later than 10 days after the award of contract.

1. Concrete Mixture Design A mix design shall be submitted for each concrete mix to be used on the project. Each mix design shall list the proportions by weight of cement, weight or volume of water, weights of aggregates in a saturated surface-dry condition, and type, quantity, and name of admixtures per cubic yard of concrete. All materials included in the mixture shall be of the same type and from the same source as will be used on the project. Each mix shall be accompanied by evidence that demonstrates the mix will produce concrete having the characteristics and quality as specified:

a. Mix Design Study Submit a mix design study complying with ACI 211.1 conducted in the past 12 months. The mix design shall be completed by a testing laboratory complying with ASTM C 1077. For SCC (Self-Consolidating Concrete) submit evidence of the design mix for this project. The evidence shall include test data from the Slump Flow Test including the Visual Stability Index (VSI) per ASTM C 1611 and its appendix. A registered professional engineer knowledgeable and familiar with self-consolidating concrete mixes shall conduct these tests, or have them done under his immediate supervision.

b. Project Data Project data or mix design studies shall be obtained for the exact mix as submitted. Minor mix alterations or substitutions may be accepted if approved by the Contracting Officer. Any alternations or substitutions shall be clearly identified, and shall be accompanied by recommendations from the admixture supplier or a registered professional engineer indicating the expected effects on the concrete.

2. General Concrete Requirements The concrete shall be a Self-consolidating concrete (SCC), that is able to flow under its own weight and completely fill the form work, even in the presence of dense reinforcement without the need of any vibration while maintaining homogeneity. The concrete shall be composed of a cementitious material, water, fine and coarse aggregates, and admixtures. The admixtures shall include High Range water reducers (HRWR), which are an essential component of SCC to provide the necessary work ability; viscosity modifying agents (VMA) for stability and air entraining admixtures (AEA) to improve the freeze-thaw resistance. The design compressive strength as determined by ASTM C 39 shall not be less than 4,000 pounds per square inch in 28 days. Water-cement ratio shall not exceed 0.40. The maximum water-cement ratio will be determined by the weight equivalency method as described in ACI 211.1 (cement plus pozzolan, silica fume, and ground granulated blast furnace slag). This W/C ratio may cause higher strengths than required. The cementitious material content shall be a minimum of 500 and a maximum of 620 pounds per cubic yard. Materials shall meet the requirements of the respective publications and other data specified below.

a. Slump Flow: For SCC (self-consolidating concrete) the slump flow of concrete is identified as the flow of concrete as measured by the Slump Flow Test. The slump flow should be between 22 and 28 inches, with a visual rating of static stability equal to zero or one as determined by the Visual Stability Index (VSI) as described in ASTM C 1611 and its appendix.

b. Admixtures: Admixtures to be used on the project shall be included in the mix design submittals. Accelerating admixtures shall be used only when approved in writing.

c. Air Entrainment: All concrete shall be air entrained to contain between 4-1/2 and 7- 1/2 percent total air.

d. Aggregates:

i. Size of Coarse Aggregate: Nominal maximum size coarse aggregate shall be 3/4-inch.

ii. Composition: Fine aggregate shall consist of natural sand, manufactured sand, or a combination of natural and manufactured sands. Coarse aggregate shall consist of gravel, crushed gravel, crushed stone, or a combination thereof.

iii. Quality: The aggregate particles shall be clean, hard, unweathered, and uncoated. The shape of the particles shall be generally cubical or spherical.

Where required, fines shall be removed from the aggregates by adequate washing. The aggregates as delivered to the mixer shall meet the quality requirements of ASTM C 33, table 3 for the appropriate type or location of concrete construction for use in a severe climate.

e. Cementitious Materials: Cementitious materials shall be portland cement, or portland cement in combination with pozzolan or ground granulated blast furnace slag. Optional pozzolan replacement of cement shall be limited to 20 percent of the total cementitious material of a mix by weight. Cementitious materials shall conform to appropriate specifications listed below. Use of cementitious materials in concrete which will have surfaces exposed in the completed structure shall be restricted so there is no change in color, source, or type of cementitious material.

i. Portland Cement: ASTM C 150, Type I with a maximum 15 percent amount of tricalcium aluminate, or Type II.

ii. Pozzolan (Fly Ash): ASTM C 618, Class C or F with the optional requirements for multiple factor, drying shrinkage, and uniformity from Table 3 of ASTM C 618.

iii. Ground Granulated Blast – Furnace (GGBF) Slag: ASTM C 989, Grade 120.

5. Method of Placement. The concrete pump shall conform to the following specifications: The pipeline shall be rigid steel pipe or heavy-duty flexible hose. The inside diameter of the pipe shall be at least 4 inches. The distance to be pumped shall not exceed limits recommended by the pump manufacturer. The concrete shall be supplied to the concrete pump continuously. When pumping is completed, concrete remaining in the pipeline shall be ejected without contamination of concrete in place. After each operation, equipment shall be thoroughly cleaned, and flushing water shall be wasted outside of the forms and in compliance with the approved environment protection plan.

6. Safety. All work shall be in conformance with the Corps of Engineers Safety and Health Requirements Manual EM 385-1-1 (15 September 2008 edition).

7. Site Restoration and Cleanup. The contractor shall clean up and dispose of all job related debris in accordance with all state and local laws and ordinances. All surface areas damaged by the Contractor’s operations shall be restored.

8. Measurement and Payment. This work will not be measured for payment. Payment shall constitute full compensation for furnishing all labor, materials, equipment, and incidentals required and performing all work in a satisfactory manner and in accordance with the requirements described herein.

Section 00700 - Contract Clauses

52.204-13 SYSTEM FOR AWARD MANAGEMENT MAINTENANCE (JULY 2013)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause--

Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number means the 9-digit number assigned by Dun and Bradstreet, Inc. (D&B) to identify unique business entities, which is used as the identification number for Federal Contractors.

Data Universal Numbering System+4 (DUNS+4) number means the DUNS number assigned by D&B plus a 4-character suffix that may be assigned by a business concern. (D&B has no affiliation with this 4-character suffix.) This 4-character suffix may be assigned at the discretion of the business concern to establish additional SAM records for identifying alternative Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) accounts (see the FAR at subpart 32.11) for the same concern.

Registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database means that—

(1) The Contractor has entered all mandatory information, including the DUNS number or the DUNS+4 number, the Contractor and Government Entity (CAGE) code, as well as data required by the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (see subpart 4.14), into the SAM database;

(2) The Contractor has completed the Core, Assertions, Representations and Certifications, and Points of Contact sections of the registration in the SAM database;

(3) The Government has validated all mandatory data fields, to include validation of the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The Contractor will be required to provide consent for TIN validation to the Government as a part of the SAM registration process; and

(4) The Government has marked the record ``Active''.

System for Award Management (SAM) means the primary Government repository for prospective Federal awardee and Federal awardee information and the centralized Government system for certain contracting, grants, and other assistance-related processes. It includes—

(1) Data collected from prospective Federal awardees required for the conduct of business with the Government;

(2) Prospective contractor-submitted annual representations and certifications in accordance with FAR subpart 4.12; and

(3) Identification of those parties excluded from receiving Federal contracts, certain subcontracts, and certain types of Federal financial and non-financial assistance and benefits.

(b) The Contractor is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the data within the SAM database, and for any liability resulting from the Government's reliance on inaccurate or incomplete data. To remain registered in the SAM database after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis, from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates, its information in the SAM database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating information in the SAM does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document.

(c)(1)(i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, doing business as name, or division name (whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name agreements in subpart 42.12, the Contractor shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day's written notification of its intention to—

(A) Change the name in the SAM database;

(B) Comply with the requirements of subpart 42.12 of the FAR; and

(C) Agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the responsible Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall provide with the notification sufficient documentation to support the legally changed name.

(ii) If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (c)(1)(i) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at paragraph (c)(1)(i)(C) of this clause, and, in the absence of a properly executed novation or change-of-name agreement, the SAM information that shows the Contractor to be other than the Contractor indicated in the contract will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the ``Suspension of Payment'' paragraph of the electronic funds transfer (EFT) clause of this contract.

(2) The Contractor shall not change the name or address for EFT payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the SAM record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims (see FAR subpart 32.8, Assignment of Claims). Assignees shall be separately registered in the SAM. Information provided to the Contractor's SAM record that indicates payments, including those made by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that Contractor will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the ``Suspension of Payment'' paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract.

(3) The Contractor shall ensure that the DUNS number is maintained with Dun & Bradstreet throughout the life of the contract. The Contractor shall communicate any change to the DUNS number to the Contracting Officer within 30 days after the change, so an appropriate modification can be issued to update the data on the contract. A change in the DUNS number does not necessarily require a novation be accomplished. Dun & Bradstreet may be contacted—

(i) Via the internet at http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform or if the Contractor does not have internet access, it may call Dun and Bradstreet at 1-866-705-5711 if located within the United States; or

(ii) If located outside the United States, by contacting the local Dun and Bradstreet office.

(d) Contractors may obtain additional information on registration and annual confirmation requirements at https://www.acquisition.gov.

The completion date will be extended by the number of calendar days after the above date that the Contractor receives the notice to proceed, except to the extent that the delay in issuance of the notice to proceed results from the failure of the Contractor to execute the contract and give the required performance and payment bonds within the time specified in the offer.

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause--

Long-term contract means a contract of more than five years in duration, including options.

Such a concern is ``not dominant in its field of operation'' when it does not exercise a controlling or major influence on a national basis in a kind of business activity in which a number of business concerns are primarily engaged. In determining whether dominance exists, consideration shall be given to all appropriate factors, including volume of business, number of employees, financial resources, competitive status or position, ownership or control of materials, processes, patents, license agreements, facilities, sales territory, and nature of business activity.

(b) If the Contractor represented that it was a small business concern prior to award of this contract, the Contractor shall rerepresent its size status according to paragraph (e) of this clause or, if applicable, paragraph (g) of this clause, upon the occurrence of any of the following:
