Actual adverse weather delay days must prevent work on critical activities for 50 percent or more of the Contractor's scheduled work day.

(d) The number of actual adverse weather delay days shall include days impacted by actual adverse weather (even if adverse weather occurred in previous month), be calculated chronologically from the first to the last day of each month, and be recorded as full days. If the number of actual adverse weather delay days exceeds the number of days anticipated in paragraph (b), above, the Contracting Officer will convert any qualifying delays to calendar days, giving full consideration for equivalent fair weather work days, and issue a modification in accordance with the contract clause entitled "DEFAULT (FIXED-PRICE CONSTRUCTION)".

(End of Clause)

1.5 PERFORMANCE AND PAYMENT BONDS

Each bidder shall include his premiums for performance and payment bonds under the "Performance and Payment Bonds" contract line item of the BID SCHEDULE. Payment to the Contractor therefore, shall not exceed the bid price and shall be made in accordance with the Contract Clause entitled "PAYMENTS UNDER FIXED-PRICE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS." Any additional amount bid in excess of the actual bond premium will be included in the final pay estimate for this contract.

(End of Clause)

1.6 WATER CONSERVATION

Water is one of our valuable natural resources. Accordingly, the Contractor shall be judicious in its use in the performance of the work as

SECTION 01 10 00.10 38 Page 4 specified. Water needed for compaction of roadway and/or foundation materials, and dust control shall be obtained from uncontrolled stream flow instead of potable supply sources to the extent available and suitable as determined by the Contracting Officer or his/her designated representative.

(End of Clause)

1.7 BULLETIN BOARD

Project Sign

Introduction: Construction Project Signs EP 310-1-6a 01 Jun 06

16-1

The use of signs to identify Corps managed or supervised design, construc-tion, and rehabilitation projects - both for military and civil works - is an important part of efforts to keep the public informed of Corps work. For this purpose, a construction project sign package has been adopted. This package consists of two signs: one for project identification and the other to show on-the-job safety performance of the contractor.

These two signs are to be displayed side by side and mounted for reading by passing viewers. Exact placement location will be designated by the contracting officer’s representative.

The panel sizes and graphic formats have been standardized for visual consistency throughout all Corps operations.

Panels are fabricated using HDO plywood or aluminum with dimensional lumber uprights and bracing. The sign faces are nonreflective vinyl.

All legends are to be die-cut or computer-cut in the sizes and typefaces specified and applied to the white panel back-ground following the graphic formats shown on pages 16-2 and 16-3. The Communication Red panel on the left side of the construction project sign with Corps Signature (reverse version) is screen-printed onto the white back-ground.

A display of these two signs is shown on the following two pages. Mounting and fabrication details are provided on page 16-4.

Special applications or situations not covered in these guidelines should be referred to the district Sign Program Manager.
