PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT PRICE

(JUN 1999 SAS)

The Contract price includes all mobilization and demobilization, dredging and disposal of all materials and all disposal area operations as directed by the Contracting Officer or Contracting Officer's Representative. The work covered by this section consists of furnishing all plant, labor, and materials and performing all operations as may be necessary to complete the following work as shown on the Drawings and as herein specified and as directed by the Contracting Officer or his Authorized Representative. The maximum plant acceptable to perform this work is a 20" hydraulic cutterhead dredge to include pipeline.

The required dredging for this Contract is the Kings Island Turning Basin and from Station 0+500 to 13+300 in the Sediment Basin and from Station 0+000 to 112+500 in the Savannah River as directed by the Contracting Officer or his Authorized Representative. The limits of dredging for this Contract also include Port Wentworth Turning Basin, Argyle Island Turning Basin, Marsh Island Turning Basin, Fig Island Turning Basin, and the Rehandling Basin/Oysterbed Island Turning Basin. The dredging limits for East River are from Station 0+000 to 12+000, including the East River Turning Basin, for South Brunswick River from Station 0+000 to 7+000, and for Turtle River from Station 46+250 to 67+500. In Savannah Harbor, areas of rapid shoaling are indicated on the Contract plans by cross-hatched areas which represent areas which typically have more than 3 feet of deficiency (bank) on the toe of the channel. These areas are to be dredged under production dredging (cost per cubic yard of material removed). Any contiguous portion of the shoal above the required dredging depth in the hatched areas that extends beyond the length or width of the hatched area shall also be dredged under production dredging. These areas do not represent all areas which might require dredging during Contract performance. If the Contracting Officer or his Authorized Representative directs the Contractor to dredge shoals that have less than 3 feet of bank height above the required dredging depth at the toe of the channel, the Contractor has the option to dredge the shoal under station dredging (payment by lineal foot of ½ channel advance of the dredge) or by production dredging if more advantageous to the Contractor. The Contractor may also be directed to re-dredge any shoaling that occurs in any section of previously accepted work as described in paragraph 18, "SHOALING" by either production or station dredging depending on the nature of the shoal.

The Contracting Officer or his Authorized Representative has discretion to waive the requirement to remove material above the required depth if the Government does not consider it a hazard to navigation. The required depths for material removal are as follows:

State Parameter Standard Month

Georgia dissolved oxygen 3.0 mg/l Jun - Oct Georgia dissolved oxygen 3.5 mg/l May and Nov Georgia dissolved oxygen 4.0 mg/l Dec - Apr Georgia pH 6.0 - 8.5 All year South Carolina dissolved oxygen daily avg. of 5.0 All year mg/l with minimum of 4.0 mg/l South Carolina pH 6.0 - 8.5 All year

1.11.6 Water Quality Standards

All weir discharges must comply with state water quality standards. If water quality monitoring performed by either the Contractor or the Government show that any of the standards for water quality have been violated, then the Contractor shall be required to modify his operations to meet the water quality standards. The modifications could include raising the elevation of the weir boards or decreasing the operating time of the dredge.

1.12 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT

(JUN 1999 SAS)

1.12.1 1.13.1 Measurement

1.12.1.1 Total Removed Material

The total amount of material removed and to be paid for under the Contract by production dredging will be measured by the cubic yard in situ by computing the volume between the bottom surface shown by soundings of the Before Dredging Survey and the bottom surface shown by the soundings of the After Dredging Survey made as soon as practicable after the work has been completed, less any deductions that may be required for excessive dredging, as described in paragraph OVERDEPTH AND SIDE SLOPES, and misplaced material, as described in paragraph DISPOSAL AREA OPERATIONS. Payment for work under station dredging (payment by lineal feet of ½ channel advance of the dredge) will be made after the bottom surface shown by soundings of the After Dredging Survey indicates that material has been removed to the required depth and that requirements in paragraph DISPOSAL AREA OPERATIONS have been met.

SECTION 35 20 23 Page 18 (Revised by Amendment No. 0001)

1.1.12.1.2 Quantities Removed

The maps and/or Drawings already prepared (Contract Clause CONTRACT DRAWINGS, MAPS, AND SPECIFICATIONS (DFARS 252.236-7001) of Section 00700) are believed to represent accurately conditions existing at the time surveyed, but the depths shown thereon will be verified and corrected by soundings taken within 14 days before dredging. Determination of quantities removed and the deductions made therefrom to determine quantities by place measurement to be paid for in the area specified, after having once been made, will not be reopened, except on evidence of collusion, fraud, or obvious error.

1.12.1.3 Soundings

Soundings for all dredging surveys under this Contract will be obtained by the use of a dual frequency marine depth recorder.

1.12.2 Payment

1.12.2.1 Mobilization and Demobilization

Payment for all mobilization and demobilization (Bid Items 0001, 0017, and 0021) will be lump sum and will be made in accordance with Section 00700, clause DFARS 252.236-7004, PAYMENT FOR MOBILIZATION AND DEMOBILIZATION.

1.12.2.2 Dredging

Final payment for dredging will be at the bid unit price and based on quantities computed as described above. For reaches where more than one disposal area is designated, the Contractor will bear any additional pumping cost if the Contracting Officer or his authorized representative determines material must be placed in the more distant disposal area.

1.12.2.3 Monthly Partial Payments

Monthly partial payments for completed dredging of acceptance sections for Bid Items 0002-0016, 0018, 0019, and 0020 will be based on quantities determined by soundings and/or sweepings taken behind the dredge or dredge plant and from data furnished on the Contractor's Daily Report of Operations.

1.12.3 Moving Between Sites

Based on the Order of Work provided, moving between sites within the Savannah Harbor and/or Brunswick Harbor dredging limits may be required.

The Contractor shall be paid for each move at the bid lump sum price for Bid Item 0021. Moves less than 2 miles will not be paid separately.

1.13 CONTINUITY OF WORK

(JUN 1999 SAS)

No payment will be made for work done in any area designated by the Contracting Officer or his Authorized Representative until the full depth required under the Contract is secured in the whole of such area, nor will payment be made for excavation in any area not adjacent to and in prolongation of areas where full depth has been secured except by decision of the Contracting Officer or his Authorized Representative. Should any such nonadjacent area be excavated to full depth during the operations

SECTION 35 20 23 Page 19 (Revised by Amendment No. 0001) carried on under the Contract, payment for all work therein may be deferred until the required depth has been made in the area intervening. The Contractor may be required to suspend dredging at any time when for any reason the ranges or gages cannot be seen or properly followed or the dredge not positioned properly if electronic positioning systems are used.

(JUN 1999 SAS)

The Contractor shall furnish, on request of the Contracting Officer or his Authorized Representative or any inspector, the use of such boats, boatmen, laborers, and material forming a part of the ordinary and usual equipment and crew of the dredging and/or floating plant as may be reasonably necessary in inspecting and supervising the work. However, the Contractor will not be required to furnish such facilities for the surveys prescribed in paragraph FINAL EXAMINATION AND ACCEPTANCE. The Contractor shall also furnish, on the request of the Contracting Officer or his Authorized Representative or any inspector, suitable transportation from all points on shore designated by the Contracting Officer or his Authorized Representative to and from the various pieces of plant, and to and from the disposal sites. Should the Contractor refuse, neglect or delay compliance with these requirements, the specific facilities may be furnished and maintained by the Contracting Officer or his Authorized Representative and the cost thereof will be deducted from any amounts due or to become due the Contractor.

1.15 FINAL EXAMINATION AND ACCEPTANCE

(JUN 1999 SAS)

1.15.1 Acceptance Section

As soon as practicable, but not more than 5 working days after the completion of dredging an entire acceptance section as in the opinion of the Contracting Officer or his Authorized Representative will not be subject to damage by further operation under the Contract, such work will be thoroughly examined at the cost and expense of the Government by sounding or Multi-Beam survey, or both, as determined by the Contracting Officer or his Authorized Representative. Should any shoals, lumps, or other lack of Contract depth be disclosed by this examination, the Contractor will be required to remove same by dredging at the Contract rate for dredging, but if the bottom is soft and the shoal areas are small and form no material obstruction to navigation, the removal of such shoal may be waived by the discretion of the Contracting Officer or his Authorized Representative. The Contractor or his Authorized Representative will be notified when soundings and/or sweepings are to be made, and will be permitted to accompany the survey party. When the area is found to be in a satisfactory condition, it will be accepted finally. Should more than two soundings or sweeping operations by the Government over an area be necessary by reason of work for the removal of shoals disclosed at a prior sounding or sweeping, the cost of such third and any subsequent soundings or sweeping operations will be charged against the Contractor at the rate indicated in paragraph 9.1.(1) per day for each day in which the Government plant is engaged in sounding or sweeping and/or is in route to or from the site or held at or near the said site for such operations.

1.15.2 Final Acceptance

Final acceptance of the whole or a part of the work and deductions or corrections of deductions made thereon will not be reopened after having

SECTION 35 20 23 Page 20 (Revised by Amendment No. 0001) once been made, except on evidence of collusion, fraud or obvious error, and the acceptance of a completed section shall not change the time of payment of the retained percentages of the whole or any part of the work.

1.16 SHOALING

(JUN 1999 SAS)

If, before the Contract is completed, shoaling occurs in any section previously accepted, including shoaling in the finished channel because of the natural lowering of the side slopes, redredging at the Contract price, within the limit of available funds, may be performed if agreeable to both the Contractor and the Contracting Officer or his Authorized Representative. Payment will be by production or station dredging depending on the nature of the shoal as defined by paragraph WORK COVERED

BY CONTRACT PRICE.

1.21 GOVERNMENT PRIORITY

The Government dredge may be released to dredge for private concerns on a case-by-case basis. The priority use of the dredge will remain Government dredging and the priority use of the disposal areas will be for placement of material dredged under the Government Contract. Conditions for release are:

a. The Government will decide when the dredge will be released to dredge for private concerns and for what time duration the dredge will be released. The dredge will not be released until the dock owner and the dredging contractor provide a written request for release and have met the terms of the special conditions of the Corps of Engineers and the State Water Quality Permit.

b. The agreement to dredge in front of a dock is a separate contract between the Contractor and the private concern. The Government is not part of the agreement. No Government personnel will be aboard the dredge in an official capacity when the dredge is conducting private dredging.

c. Dredging must be conducted in such a manner that operational depths in the Federal channels are not adversely impacted.

d. Government release of the dredge is not guaranteed, even if scheduled. Government scheduling changes or recall of the dredge of other Government priority work will take precedence over private concern dredging.

SECTION 35 20 23 Page 22 (Revised by Amendment No. 0001)

e. The time period of release of the dredge for the private concern dredging will not be cause for extension of the completion date.

f. Contractor equipment breakdown while conducting private concern dredging will not relieve the Contractor of the requirement of completing the Government dredging on schedule.

1.22 MAN-HOUR REPORT

(APR 1996 SAS)

The Contractor will maintain a monthly man-hour report. This report will be provided to the Contracting Officer or his Authorized Representative on the first working day of each month, and will show the total number of man-hours worked the previous month.
