7. Mississippi River Stage Limitations. Construction operations may be prevented due to high Mississippi River stages, or due to high groundwater as measured in the piezometers identified in the drawings at the cutoff wall vicinity. The Contractor shall monitor daily the National Weather Service 3-day forecast for the Melvin Price Locks and Dam Lower Tailwater Gage to be alerted to possible high river stages and to prepare for preventing damage to already completed work.

Construction operations shall cease when the Melvin Price Locks and Dam Gage is at the stage 21 (elevation 416.5) or higher or if piezometer readings are at or above elevation 416.5.

At any river stage exceeding the stage above or any piezometric reading exceeding the elevation above, the Contractor may be directed by the Contracting Officer to perform emergency actions to prevent uncontrolled seepage from occurring or to prevent uncontrolled surface water from entering the work area. The Contracting Officer's Representative will determine the extent of the delay to the work due to high Mississippi River stages or high piezometric readings, and the time fixed for completion of the contract will be extended for the period of the time delay.

Bald Eagle Roosts. Should any bald eagle night roost activity be noted in the project area, the Contracting Officer shall be immediately contacted to determine if any buffer zone restrictions will be required for construction operations. An equitable adjustment in performance time will be made for any increase in the time required for performance of any part of the work impacted by any restrictions.

1.25 PARTNERING

In order to most effectively accomplish this contract, the Government is willing to form a cohesive partnership with the Contractor. This partnership would strive to draw on the strengths of each organization in an effort to achieve a quality project done right the first time, within budget, and on schedule.

1.26 CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS

In accordance with the provisions of Subpart 36.201(Evaluation of Contractor Performance) of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), construction contractor's performance shall be evaluated throughout the performance of the contract. The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) follows the procedures outlined in Engineering Regulation 415-1-17 to fulfill this FAR requirement. For construction contracts awarded at or above $100,000.00, the USACE will evaluate contractor's performance and prepare a performance report using the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), which is a web-based system. After an evaluation (interim or final) is written up by the USACE, the contractor will have the ability to access, review and comment on the evaluation for a period of 30 days. Accessing and using CPARS requires specific software, called PKI certification, which is installed on the user's computer. The certification is a Department of Defense requirement and was implemented to provide security in electronic transactions. The certification software could cost approximately $110 - $125 per certificate per year and is purchased from an External Certificate Authorities (ECA) vendor. Current information about the PKI certification process and for contacting vendors can be found on the web site: http://www.cpars.navy.mil/. If the Contractor wishes to participate in the performance evaluation process, access to CPARS and PKI certification is the sole responsibility of the Contractor.

1.27 SECURITY REQUIREMENTS

The Contractor and all associated sub-contractors shall receive a brief/training (provided by the RA) on the local suspicious activity reporting program. This locally developed training will be used to inform employees of the types of behavior to watch for and instruct employees to report suspicious activity to the project manager, security representative or law enforcement entity. This training shall be completed within 30 calendar days of contract award and within 30 calendar days of new employees commencing performance with the results reported to the COR NLT 5 calendar days after the completion of the training.

The Contractor must pre-screen Candidates using the E-verify Program (http://www.uscis.gov/e-verify) website to meet the established employment eligibility requirements. The Vendor must ensure that the Candidate has two valid forms of Government issued identification prior to enrollment to ensure the correct information is entered into the E-verify system. An initial list of verified/eligible Candidates must be provided to the Contracting Officer's Representative no later than 3 business days after the initial contract award.
