b. Weather Conditions. Information with respect to temperatures and precipitation may be obtained from the National Weather Service.

c. Transportation Facilities. Railroads and highways serve the general area of the work.

1.3 RIGHT-OF-WAY

Right-of-way for construction purposes will be furnished by the Government without cost to the Contractor. Where right-of-way for access to a work site is not available over existing public roads, access through private lands as shown on the contract drawings will be furnished by the Government without cost to the Contractor. The Contractor will be required at its own expense to do all work necessary to make such right-of-way suitable for traveling to and from the work site without interrupting the existing drainage. Upon completion of the contract work, any such access roadway and right-of-way furnished by the Government shall be left in a condition satisfactory to the Contracting Officer.

1.4 PUBLIC UTILITIES AND PRIVATE IMPROVEMENTS

a. Unless otherwise specified, shown on the drawings, or stated in writing by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall not move or disturb any public utilities or private improvements. Such removals, alterations, and/or relocations, where necessary, will be made by others. The locations shown on the drawings for underground utilities are approximate only. The exact locations of such utilities shall be determined by the Contractor in the field prior to commencing

DOCUMENT 00 08 00.99 15 Page 2 construction operations in their vicinity.

b. The attention of the Contractor is directed to the possibility that public utilities or private improvements may be encountered within the construction limits, some of which may be buried, and the existence of which is presently not known. Should any such utilities or improvements be encountered, the Contractor shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer so that a determination may be made as to whether they shall be removed, relocated, or altered. After such determination is made, the Contractor shall, if so directed by the Contracting Officer, remove, relocate, or alter them as required and an equitable adjustment will be made.

If, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, there are no contract unit or job prices applicable to any part of such damaged work, an equitable adjustment pursuant to the Contract Clause entitled, "Changes", will be made as full compensation therefore.

b. The Contractor may, subject to approval of the Contracting Officer, or the Contracting Officer may order the Contractor to, flood or breach the cofferdam during a rise prior to, and in anticipation of, natural flooding due to overtopping. Such flooding or breach will be considered the same as though the cofferdam, if constructed in accordance with plans and progress schedules approved by the Contracting Officer, had been overtopped, in which event an equitable adjustment will be made for damages to the cofferdam and/or any part of the permanent work, as provided in (a) above.

1.25 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.

1.2 DEFINITIONS

Environmental pollution and damage is defined as the presence of chemical, physical, or biological elements or agents that adversely affect human health or welfare; unfavorably alter ecological balances of plant or animal communities; or degrade the environment from an aesthetic, cultural or historic perspective. Environmental protection is the prevention/control of pollution and habitat disruption that may occur during construction.

The control of environmental pollution and damage requires consideration of air, water, land, biological and cultural resources; and includes management of visual aesthetics; noise; solid, chemical, gaseous, and liquid waste; radiant energy and radioactive materials; and other pollutants.
