The Contractor must work around and not conflict with lock operations and maintenance activities. Upon notice from Lock personnel, the Contractor must immediately move their equipment and personnel out of way, and the surfaces where lock operations are performed shall not pose any safety / operational hazards to lock personnel. Preparatory work shall be identified in the Contractor's Work Plan submittal for review and approval by the Contracting Officer's Representative to assure no adverse impacts to lock operations. All work shall be complete and equipment removed from the lock chamber 7 days prior to the end of the scheduled closure period for Government to perform operational function and control equipment tests.

The Contractor shall verify all the above stationing and dimensions and shall be responsible for making the new material and work fit the existing conditions.

(3) The Contractor is advised there is a potential for unexpected movement of pool ice during the months of December through February.

The Contractor should further be aware that the pool ice can become so thick that work may not be able to be performed upstream of the lock and dam. Any equipment and especially vessels that are captured by the ice will be subjected to severe damage or destruction. The lockmaster will attempt to provide advance notice of ice movement as a courtesy to the Contractor. The failure of the Government to issue such a notice will not entitle the Contractor to seek damages against the Government. Considerable amounts of ice may be encountered while moving equipment on the river and in the locks. Durations of the winter closure period will not be extended due to weather or river conditions.

(4) The Contractor shall coordinate its operations so as not to interfere with the functions of the Government personnel and the regulation of the dam. Facilities shall be maintained for operating personnel so they can perform their normal functions. The Contractor shall designate a coordinator to assure that the construction work is coordinated with the operation of the lock and dam. Lock and Dam personnel will not accept deliveries, phone calls, mail or deliver messages for the Contractor.

(12) The Contractor is advised that other contracts may be ongoing at the project site during the life of this contract, and shall coordinate its work with the other Contractors and shall cooperate with the Contracting Officer's representative and other Contractors to the fullest extent possible so as to not interfere with or hinder the progress of other contracts. The Contracting Officer will have the final decision in the event of a controversy between Contractors.

(13) The Contractor shall be responsible for snow removal in the Contractor's access, work and parking areas as necessary to facilitate Contractor operations. In addition, the Contractor shall be responsible for all ice management within the construction limits during the construction period. Use of salt or corrosive agents shall not be permitted.

(14) The Contractor shall take every precaution necessary during use of floating plant spudding operation to prevent damage to lock facility. Use of spudding of floating plant shall be prohibited within the main lock chamber.

1.29 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.
