Survey lines taken from the Vessel-to-Vessel Calibration shall be compared and checked on site for accuracy and consistency. The calibration session will be scheduled by the Government in conjunction with the Contractor.

3.1.6 Survey Line Integrity: Survey soundings shall not deviate more than plus or minus 10 feet off station alignment. Obstructions, such as docks, wrecks and docked ships, shall be identified and the Contractor shall conduct additional soundings on the backside of obstructions, where possible, to complete sounding lines. Incomplete and inaccurate data, such as, lines outside survey position limits, shall be resurveyed, preferably on the same survey day.

3.2 GOVERNMENT SURVEYS.

The Government will use 200-210 KHz survey data to measure quantities for payments.

3.2.1 Pre-dredge Survey: The bathymetric drawings in the contract are believed to accurately represent conditions existing at the time indicated on the plans but the depths shown thereon will be updated, as required, by a pre-dredge Government survey taken prior to the start of dredging.

The Government will perform the survey for all Reaches, which are identified in the Dredging section of these specifications. A separate pre-dredge survey will not be performed for each Reach individually or at staggered times. The Government will provide the Contractor copies of the pre-dredge survey raw and edited data files. All data shall have the Julian date as file extensions.

3.2.2 Post-dredge Survey: As soon as practicable after completion of a Reach, the completed work will be thoroughly examined at the Government’s cost and expense by soundings.

3.2.2.1 Request for Survey: The Contractor shall notify the Government 7 days in advance of completing a Reach. The Contractor shall ensure that the Reach is ready for a final acceptance survey before requesting the Government to perform the post-dredge survey of the Reach. The Contractor shall submit in writing a Request for Reach Acceptance Survey (in Attachment 2 to this Section) accompanied by raw and edited survey data and cross-sectional plots showing no material in the channel above project depth.

3.2.2.2 Acceptance of Reach (es) will be in writing from the Contracting Officer based on the Government post-dredge survey data. Determination of quantities removed, and to be paid for, in the areas specified, after once having been made, will not be reopened, except on evidence of collusion, fraud, or obvious error.

3.2.2.3 Reach Rejection: If the Government post-dredge survey finds the reach to be unacceptable, the Contractor shall resume dredging until the work is complete.

Page 4 of 10 Hydrographic Surveying

3.2.2.3.1 The Contractor is responsible for time required for dredging to remove shoals, lumps or other lack of contract depth and for the time required to resurvey the rejected Reach.

3.2.2.3.2 When the dredging is complete, the post-dredge survey process, starting with the Contractor’s written Request for Reach Acceptance Survey, is then repeated except that the Contractor is liable for subsequent Government survey costs. The Contractor shall be assessed $7,000 per day that the Government spends on post-dredge surveys of a Reach that is rejected after the first Government post-dredge survey. The Government’s efforts include time spent on station waiting, surveying time and post-survey data processing and reporting. A partial day of survey efforts by the Government will be billed as a full day.

3.2.3 Contractor Survey Certification.

3.2.3.1 Contractor’s Representative: The Contractor shall provide a representative on board the Government survey vessel for all pre- and post-dredge surveys. The representative shall be knowledgeable of hydrographic surveying procedures, techniques, equipment, calibration methods and accuracy limitations. The representative shall observe and review, in progress, the adequacy and accuracy of the survey for payment purposes and for the potential existence of collusion, fraud or obvious error in the data. The onsite review shall include a comparison of the Government survey data and the Contractor’s survey data for the same area.

3.2.3.2 Survey Certification: Immediately upon completion of a Government pre- or post-dredge survey, the Contractor’s representative shall attest to an acceptable survey by signing the Certification of Government Survey, Attachment 2 to this section. This certification will be based on the representative’s onsite review of the survey and determination that the survey contains no evidence of collusion, fraud or obvious error.

3.2.3.3 Unacceptable Survey: In the event the Contractor’s representative observes (and quantifies) specific documentary evidence of collusion, fraud or obvious error, the survey will be immediately rerun. The resurvey will be run over the full Reach and will supersede previously run surveys in their entirety. If the resurvey is unacceptable, the Contractor shall meet with the Contracting Officer to expeditiously resolve the issue(s) causing rejection of the survey. The Contractor shall be liable for the Contractor’s costs, including but not limited to standby costs, for the time required to resolve acceptability of the survey.

3.2.3.4 Reinstating Unacceptable Survey: The Contractor may certify a survey previously judged unacceptable; however, the Contractor shall reassess/reevaluate within 24 hours after the unacceptable survey was performed and prior to the initiation of a resurvey based upon identified collusion, fraud or obvious error.

3.2.3.5 Refusal to Certify: This paragraph describes the consequences should the Contractor refuse to attest to the acceptability of a Government survey without identifiable collusion, fraud or obvious error.

3.2.3.5.1 Uncertified Pre-dredge Survey: The Contractor shall not commence dredging until the Contractor and the Contracting Officer have met and resolved the basis for the refusal to

Page 5 of 10 Section 01 32 23 certify. The Contractor shall be liable for any dredging performed prior to obtaining an acceptable survey. If a resurvey is performed and accepted, prior dredging will not be measured, estimated or paid for.

3.2.3.5.2 Uncertified Post-dredge Survey: The Contractor’s work will not be accepted and the contract completion date will not be extended. The Government will not measure, estimate or paid for any material accretion, which might occur over time. If the work has not been accepted as complete on or before the contract completion date, the Government will assess liquidated damages until the post-dredge survey is certified and the work is accepted as complete and in compliance with contract requirements.

Certification Costs: The Contractor shall be liable for the Contractor’s own costs, including but not limited to standby costs, for the time required to resolve the refusal to certify when there is no evidence of collusion, fraud or obvious error and the resultant delays shall not be the basis for a time extension of the contract.

3.2.4 QA Surveys: The Government may perform surveys to assure the quality of the dredging and disposal operations.
