1. Description of Services. The work required herein consists of furnishing all plant, labor, equipment, and materials, and performing all operations necessary for the removal of an 800 feet long floating wave attenuator (breakwater) system near the Indian Creek Marina at Mark Twain Lake. The Marina is located in Monroe City, Missouri. Removal and disposal of the breakwater system must be completed in accordance with all local, state, and federal laws and regulations. The paragraphs below describe the specific items which are part of the overall removal.
1.1 Anchor Cable Detachment. The floating breakwater structure must be detached from the anchor cables which secure the structure to the underwater anchors. The Contractor may detach the cables at any point along the cables. The Contractor must secure the structure during the cable detachment to ensure the structure doesn’t drift away. The final anchor cable cutoff is described further in Paragraph 1.4 below.
1.2 Floating Breakwater Haul. Once the breakwater structure is detached from the anchor cables, the Contractor will be required to haul the structure to the Shoreline Staging Area near the boat ramp. The Contractor must secure the structure during the haul to ensure the structure doesn’t drift away during the haul. The Contractor must notify the Mark Twain Lake Project Office in advance of the haul.
1.3 Disassembly and Disposal of Breakwater Structure. After the breakwater structure is hauled to the Shoreline Staging Area, the Contractor will be required to disassemble and dispose of the breakwater structure. The size of the disassembled segments is limited only by the Contractor’s ability to safely lift and haul away the individual segments. The Contractor may utilize the staging areas and boat ramps as indicated in the paragraphs below to accomplish the disassembly and disposal of the structure. The Contractor must comply with all Federal, State, and local laws regarding the proper disposal of the breakwater structure components. The Contractor shall submit landfill receipts or other proof or verification of waste disposal.
1.4 Anchor Cable Cutoff and Anchor Block Removals. The Contractor shall be required to cut off all anchor cables flush with the connection to the underwater anchor blocks. If the anchor blocks are completely covered by lakebed soil, the anchor cables shall be cut off a minimum of one foot below the lakebed surface at that anchor block. The Contractor shall also be required to verify the elevation of the top of all anchor blocks. All anchor blocks which have a top surface above Elevation 595.0 NGVD shall be completely removed by the contractor. The anchor blocks used for the breakwater structure include various sizes of anchors, but in general there are large concrete anchor blocks that weigh approximately 12,000 pounds, as well as anchor block clusters that weigh approximately 2,500 pounds each.
1.5 Electrical Removals. Electric power is supplied to the breakwater system by means of two watertight armored cables. The cables are routed from the circuit disconnect located on the transformer platform through conduits to the water edge, at which point the cables exit the conduits and are routed exposed on the lakebed to the breakwater system. The contractor shall be required to disconnect and remove the two power cables, in their entirety, from the circuit disconnect located on the transformer platform to the breakwater system. The approximate location of the transformer platform is shown on Plate A-3 of Appendix A and additional electrical details are shown on the Plates C-7 and C-8 of Appendix C. The Contractor shall note that the transformer platform is elevated approximately 15 to 20 feet above ground level. The contractor shall be responsible for coordinating with the electric utility for pulling of the utility meter and sealing of the opening in the meter enclosure after meter is removed. All other electrical devices and wiring installed on the breakwater system shall be disassembled and disposed as described in Paragraph 1.3 above.
1.6 Temporary Lighting. Once the Contractor disconnects or interrupts the electrical supply to the breakwater structure, the Contractor shall be required to install and maintain temporary lighting on the breakwater structure at all times. The lighting shall be equivalent to the existing powered lighting on the breakwater, and be must be adequate to ensure the breakwater is visible at all times during the contract to personnel on or near the Lake.
1.7 Temporary Staging of Breakwater Structure. After the structure is hauled away from the area in the immediate vicinity of the Indian Creek Marina, the Contractor may utilize the Shoreline Staging Area to temporarily store and work on the structure before it is permanently hauled away. This Shoreline Staging Area is limited to the location identified on Plate A-4 in Appendix A. The Contractor shall be required to secure the breakwater structure at all times while it is in the Shoreline Staging Area. This area may be utilized only to store the breakwater structure and/or segments of the structure before it is permanently disposed of. The contractor may not use this Shoreline Staging Area to store equipment or materials when work is not active on the breakwater.
1.8 Staging and Access Areas. The Contractor shall only utilize the staging areas identified on Plate A-4 of Appendix A. The Contractor may not utilize any portion of the marina or its access that is identified in Plate A-3 of Appendix A. The Shoreline Staging Area may only be utilized as described in Paragraph 1.7 above. The Contractor may utilize the Parking Lot Staging Area to store all required equipment and materials when not in use on the breakwater. The Contractor shall only be allowed to access the Lake by using the two boat ramps identified on Plate A-4. The high water boat ramp will be required only when the Lake level rises above approximately Elevation 625.0 NGVD. The Contractor shall be required to document the existing condition of this staging and boat ramp access areas by video and/or photo documentation prior to utilizing these areas. Any damage resulting from the Contractor’s use of the staging and access areas shall be repaired by the Contractor at no additional cost to the Government. All necessary repairs to the staging and access areas shall be sufficient to restore the condition of the areas to the same or better condition as the existing condition prior to the Contractor’s damage. See Paragraph 4.11 for details on the closure of the boat ramp.
1.9 Styrofoam Control and Disposal. The Contractor shall take extreme care to contain all Styrofoam that becomes loose during the disassembly of the breakwater structure. The Contractor shall be required to retrieve and dispose of any loose Styrofoam which becomes dislodged during the disassembly, haul away, and disposal of the breakwater structure.

4. General Information
4.1 Description of Breakwater Structure. The breakwater system consists of two distinct break wall structures, both installed in 1994. The North Breakwater wall is approximately 476 feet long while the South Breakwater wall is approximately 324 feet long, making up the total 800 feet long system. The entire wall system is anchored by 37 underwater concrete anchors attached to the structure with galvanized steel cable. The anchors are adjusted using a total of 42 manually operated mechanical winches. Each structure includes a wave wall that extends approximately 7 feet from the deck platform below the water surface, constructed of individual one foot wide wood panels. The deck support members are primarily glu-lam beams with additional wood frame members. The top walking surface of each structure is 10 feet wide and comprised of individual concrete panels. The wave wall is supported by hollow steel tube framing. The floatation for the structure is accomplished using high density Styrofoam encased in polyethylene tubs. There is additional pneumatic tubs which were placed after original construction to help level the structure. The total weight of the structure when originally installed was approximately 16,000330 pounds per linear foot, for an approximate total weight of 264,000 pounds or 132 tons. It is likely that the weight of the structure has increased over time due to water-logging of the structure members. Deviation from the stated approximate weight of the structure is not grounds for equitable adjusts to the contract due to increased weight. The exact weight of the structure cannot be determined in-place, and the approximate weight is stated in order to provide a reasonable basis for estimation by the Contractor. Refer to Appendix C for design drawings for the structure, which may be used to better estimate the weight of the in-place breakwater. Refer to Appendix B for the location of the existing anchors.
4.2 Safety. This paragraph applies to contracts and purchase orders that require the Contractor to comply with EM 385-1-1 (e.g., contracts that include the Accident Prevention clause at FAR 52.235-13 and/or other safety provisions). EM 385-1-1 and its changes are available at http://www.hq.usace.army.mil (at the HQ homepage, select Safety and Occupational Health).
