The Government will determine when concrete shall be sampled. The Contractor shall cast, protect and deliver concrete cylinders and determine slump and air content. The person conducting the tests shall meet the concrete Field Testing Technician requirements contained in paragraph "General." Concrete shall be sampled in accordance with ASTM C 172. When cylinders are molded, slump and air content shall be determined in accordance with ASTM C 143/C 143M and ASTM C 231, respectively. The Samples shall not be obtained from the very first (first 10 percent) or last (last 10 percent) portions of the batch. If concrete is being pumped, a correlation shall be established relating the air content determined from samples taken from the truck discharge to the air content determined from samples taken at the pump discharge. The pump shall be in a configuration that is representative of how it will be for the actual concrete placement when samples are taken. If there is an air content loss, the range for air content at the truck discharge shall be adjusted so that the specified air content is obtained at the placement. The correlation shall be established by testing at least the first two trucks for air content. The correlation shall be reestablished as directed by the Contracting Officers Representative when a change in workability at the placement site is noticed. Test samples for each class of concrete shall be taken at least once every 8-hour shift or for every 150 cubic yards placed, whichever requires more samples. From each sample, three 6-inch by 12-inch or 4 inch by 8 inch compression test specimens shall be made in accordance with ASTM C 31/C 31M. Compression test specimens shall be cured while in the field in accordance with paragraphs 10.1, 10.1.1 and 10.1.2 of ASTM C 31/C 31M. If cylinders are not delivered to the testing laboratory within 24 to 48 hours after molding, they shall be submerged in a water tank provided by the Contractor, where the surrounding water temperature is maintained by the Contractor at 73.4 plus or minus 3 degrees F. Cylinders shall be transported in accordance with ASTM C 31/C 31M (with cushioning material) and unloaded in the Government designated location.

Compression testing will be performed by the Government in accordance with ASTM C 39/C 39M. One cylinder will be tested at 7 days for information and two cylinders will be tested at the specified design age for acceptance. The contractor may use either 6 inch by 12 inch test cylinders (2 at 7 days, 2 at 28 days) or 4 inch by 8 inch concrete test cylinders (3 at 7 days, 3 at 28 days).”

NOTE 2: Any bid may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines in writing that it is unreasonable as to price. Unreasonableness of price includes not only total price of bid, but the price for individual line items as well. Any bid may be rejected if the prices for any line items or sub line items are materially unbalanced (See FAR 14.404-2, Rejection of Individual Bids).

NOTE 3: THE NOTICE TO PROCEED (NTP): The successful bidder is advised that performance and payment bonds shall be submitted in accordance with the time frame in block 12B of SF 1442. The NTP will be issued immediately after verification of acceptable performance and payment bonds. Within seven (7) days after issuance of the NTP, the Contractor shall initiate a meeting to discuss the submittal process with the Area or Resident Engineer or his authorized representative. Physical work cannot start until the Accident Prevention Plan, Contractor Quality Control Plan, and other submittals which may be required, have been submitted and approved and all preliminary meetings called for under the contract, have been conducted.

The Contracting Officer may exercise the OPTION WORK Items by written notice to the Contractor. Bidders shall bid on all items including optional items (see “Evaluation of Options” FAR 52.217-5). Failure to bid on all items will result in a non-responsive bid.

NOTE 6: EVALUATION OF OPTIONS (FAR 52.217-5 JUL 1990). Except when it is determined in accordance with FAR 17.206(b) not to be in the Government’s best interests, the Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for this basic requirement.

Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

NOTE 7: TIME ADJUSTMENT IN THE EVENT OF THE EXERCISE OF

OPTIONAL WORK. In the event that OPTIONAL WORK items are exercised under the terms of the contract, the time required for completion of the contract will not be adjusted but shall be performed concurrent with the original contract duration of 634 calendar days established for the BASE WORK items specified in the Contract Clause entitled “COMMENCEMENT, PROSECUTION, AND

COMPLETION OF WORK (FAR 52-211-10 – APR 1984)”.

SECTION 01100 - GENERAL PROVISIONS

1. TIME EXTENSIONS FOR UNUSUALLY SEVERE WEATHER

(a) This provision specifies the procedure for determination of time extensions for unusually severe weather in accordance with the Contract Clause in Section 00700, entitled Default (Fixed Price Construction) (FAR 52.249-10). In order for the Contracting Officer to award a time extension under this clause, the following conditions must be satisfied.

(1) The weather experienced at the project site during the contract period must be found to be unusually severe, that is, more severe than the adverse weather anticipated for the project location during any given month.

(2) The unusually severe weather must actually cause a delay to the completion of the project. The delay must be beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor.

(b) The following schedule of monthly anticipated adverse weather delays is based on National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for temperature, precipitation and wet ground conditions or similar data for the project location and will constitute the base line for monthly weather time evaluations. The Contractor's progress schedule must reflect these anticipated adverse weather delays in all weather dependent activities. Also considered in the chart below was wind, fog, high or low tides, etc.

(c) Upon receipt of the Notice to Proceed (NTP) and continuing throughout the contract, the Contractor shall record on the daily CQC report, the occurrence of adverse weather and resultant impact to normally scheduled work. Actual adverse weather delay days must prevent work on critical activities for 50 percent or more of the Contractor's scheduled work day.

(d) The number of actual adverse weather delay days shall include days impacted by actual adverse weather (even if adverse weather occurred in previous month), and shall be calculated chronologically from the first to the last day of each month, and shall be recorded as full days. If the number of actual adverse weather delay days exceeds the number of days anticipated in

01100-2 ED 18-035

paragraph b, above, the Contracting Officer will convert any qualifying delays to calendar days, giving full consideration for equivalent fair weather work days, and issue a modification in accordance with the Contract Clause in Section 00700, entitled Default (Fixed Price Construction) (FAR 52.249-10).

2. DAMAGE TO WORK

The responsibility for damage to any part of the permanent work shall be as set forth in the Contract Clause in Section 00700, entitled Permits and Responsibilities (FAR 52.236-7). However, if, in the judgment of the Contracting Officer, any part of the permanent work performed by the Contractor is damaged by flood, earthquake, hurricane, or tornado which damage is not due to the failure of the Contractor to take reasonable precautions or to exercise sound engineering and construction practices in the conduct of the work, the Contractor shall make the repairs as ordered by the Contracting Officer and full compensation for such repairs will be made at the applicable contract unit price or job prices as fixed and established in the contract. If, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, there is no contract unit or job prices applicable to any part of such work, an equitable adjustment shall be made pursuant to the Contract Clause in Section 00700, entitled Changes (FAR 52.243-4). Except as herein provided, damage to all work (including temporary construction), utilities, materials, equipment and plant shall be repaired to the satisfaction of the Contracting Officer at the Contractor's expense, regardless of the cause of such damage.

3. SAFETY PROVISIONS

6. RIGHTS-OF-WAY

a. The rights of entry required for the work to be constructed under this contract, within the rights-of-way limits indicated on the drawings, have been obtained by the Government and are provided without cost to the Contractor. The Contractor shall make its own investigations to determine the conditions, restrictions, and difficulties that may be encountered in the transportation of equipment and material to and from the work site. The proposed work, including rights-of-way, as defined by these specifications and as shown on the drawings, is in compliance with all applicable Federal and state environmental laws and regulations. Upon completion of the Contractor’s work, rights-of-way furnished by the Government shall be returned to its original condition prior to construction unless otherwise noted.

01100-10 ED 18-035

b. If the Contractor proposes a deviation from the Government furnished rights-of-way for his convenience, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer or its representative in writing. Contractor shall not provide any permanent rights-of-way for the project. The Contractor is cautioned that any deviation to the Government furnished rights-of-way is subject to all applicable Federal and state environmental laws and regulations. Compliance with these environmental laws and regulations may require additional National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documents, cultural resources surveys, coordination with the Louisiana State Historical Preservation Officer, water quality certification, modification of the Federal consistency determination, etc. The Government is ultimately responsible for environmental compliance; therefore, the Government will determine the additional environmental coordination and documentation necessary for a proposed deviation to the Government furnished rights-of-way.

For any environmental investigations the Government is to perform on areas outside of Government furnished rights-of-way, the Contractor shall provide sufficient rights of entry to the Government. The Contracting Officer will advise the Contractor of the additional environmental coordination and documentation that must be completed. The Government shall be responsible for any additional environmental compliance; however, the Contractor may conduct specific tasks identified by the Government. The Government will offer advice and assistance to the Contractor in conducting these tasks. Depending on the environmental impact of the proposed deviation, obtaining the coordination and documentation may not be approved or could take as much as 180 days for approval by the Government. The Government must review, approve and ensure distribution of all environmental compliance documentation and ensure all comments on the same have been resolved before any utilization of any areas outside of the Government furnished rights-of-way. The Contractor shall reimburse the Government for actual expenses incurred for assistance in completing or attempting to complete additional environmental coordination and documentation, which expenses will not exceed one hundred thousand ($100,000) dollars. There is no guarantee that environmental compliance will be obtained; therefore, the Contractor shall assume all risks and liabilities associated with pursuing a deviation. Any delays resulting from the deviation and/or the environmental coordination and documentation shall not be made the basis of any Contractor claim for increase in the contract cost and/or increase in contract time. Deviations will be at Contractor’s sole risk and liability, including, but not limited to, such liabilities associated with items such as hazardous substances regulated under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. 9601 et. seq.), and at no cost to the Government. Government assistance in obtaining additional environmental clearances does not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for complying with other Federal, state or local licenses and permits.

01100-11 ED 18-035

7. CERTIFICATES OF COMPLIANCE

Any certificates required for demonstrating proof of compliance of materials with specification requirements shall be executed in three (3) copies.

Copies of laboratory test reports submitted with certificates shall contain the name and address of the testing laboratory and the date or dates of the tests to which the report applies. Certification shall not be construed as relieving the Contractor from furnishing satisfactory material, if, after tests are performed on selected samples, the material is found not to meet specified requirements.

8. ENVIRONMENTAL LITIGATION

(a) The term "environmental litigation", as used herein, means a lawsuit alleging that the work has an adverse effect on the environment or that the Government has not duly considered, either substantively or procedurally, the effect of the work on the environment.

(b) If the performance of all or any part of the work is suspended, delayed, or interrupted due to an order of a court of competent jurisdiction as a result of environmental litigation, as defined below, the Contracting Officer, at the request of the Contractor, shall determine whether the order is due in any part to the acts or omissions of the Contractor or a Subcontractor at any tier not required by the terms of this contract. If the order is not due in any part to acts or omissions of the Contractor (or a Subcontractor at any tier) other than as required by this contract, such suspension, delay, or interruption shall be as if ordered by the Contracting Officer under the Contract Clause in Section 00700, entitled Suspension of Work (FAR 52.242-14). The period of such suspension, delay or interruption shall be considered unreasonable, and an adjustment shall be made for any increase in the cost of performance of this contract (excluding profit) as provided in that clause, subject to all the provisions thereof.

9. UTILITIES AND IMPROVEMENTS

(a) All known utilities within the limits of the work, such as pipes, communication lines, power lines, etc., that would interfere with construction work shall be removed, modified or relocated by the appropriate utility at no cost to the contractor unless otherwise noted in the plans and/or specifications.
