SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION 00100 - INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS

The following have been added by full text:

AMENDMENT 0003

1. Section 35 01 50.73, paragraph 3.1.4 “Before and After Dredging Cross Sections”, subparagraph d: Add the following to the end of this subparagraph:

If the roll effect is created through the fault of the Contractor as determined by the Government during average river velocities of less than 5 mi/hr as measured by a velocity probe in accordance to the Government Representative, the Contractor shall remove, at no additional cost to the Government, any material outside the assigned dredging area. If the Contractor’s dredge is creating the roll effect and the average velocity of the river at the dredge’s location is 5 mi/hr or greater measured by a velocity probe in accordance to the Government Representative, the Contractor will not be held to this requirement.

2. Section 35 01 50.73: Add the following as paragraph 3.1.10:

2.1.10 Daily Surveys

To ensure any formation of a roll effect does not create a navigation issue, daily check sections in front of the dredge at 100 ft intervals up to 500 ft in front of the cutter and daily check profiles adjacent to and up to 500 ft of the cutter shall be performed and in accordance with the Government Representative. The cross sections and profiles shall extend 200 ft past the channel centerline onto the other half of the channel to provide adequate monitoring. Additional check sections and/or profiles may be required at the direction of the Government Representative.

3. Section 35 20 23.23, paragraph 1.2.2.m “Dredging in Non-Standard Reaches and Conditions, subparagraph b: Add the following as Item (3):

(3) If the dredge’s swing and set are impacted by river currents and the average velocity of the river at the dredge’s location is 5 mi/hr or greater measured by a velocity probe as directed by the Government Representative, the reach for that day will be considered non-standard.

4. Section 35 20 23.23 12, paragraph 3.4 “Minimum Production Rate Requirements”, subparagraph a: Add the following to the end of this subparagraph:

This subparagraph is applicable to those periods when the dredge is performing maintenance dredging work. This mode occurs when a dredge under this contract or another contract has already dredged the reach to an assigned elevation of -56.0 ft MLLW. Assignments will detail if the reach or portion thereof is new construction work or maintenance work.

5. Section 35 20 23.23 12, paragraph 3.4 “Minimum Production Rate Requirements”, subparagraph b: Add the following to the end of this subparagraph: “This paragraph applies to both maintenance and new construction work.”.

W912P820B0015

6. Section 35 20 23.23 12, paragraph 3.4 “Minimum Production Rate Requirements”: Add the following as subparagraph c:

c. The following table shows the minimum production rate the dredges must perform at as specified in Section 35 20 23.23, paragraph entitled “Required Production and Dredging Tolerances” when dredging new construction work. Interpolation between swing widths may be used to obtain production rate values not explicitly shown. New construction dredging is defined as the first time a reach has been dredged to an assigned elevation of -56.0 ft MLLW, either under this contract or another contract. Once a reach has been dredged to an assigned elevation of -56.0 ft MLLW, all successive assignments in that reach or portion thereof will be considered maintenance work and the table within 3.4a will be applicable.
