1.4 TIME EXTENSIONS FOR UNUSUALLY SEVERE WEATHER
ER 415-1-15 dtd 31 OCT 89
(a) This provision specifies the procedure for determination of time extensions for unusually severe weather in accordance with the contract clause entitled "DEFAULT (FIXED-PRICE CONSTRUCTION)". In order for the Contracting Officer or his/her designated representative to award a time extension under this clause, the following conditions must be found to be satisfied in the sole discretion of the Contracting Officer or his/her designated representative:
(1) The weather experienced at the project site during the contract period must be found to be unusually severe, that is, more severe than the adverse weather anticipated for the project location during any given month.
(2) The unusually severe weather must actually cause a delay to the completion of the project. The delay must be beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor.
(b) The following schedule of monthly anticipated adverse weather delays is based on National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) or similar data for the project location and will constitute the base line for monthly weather time evaluations. The Contractor's progress schedule must reflect these anticipated adverse weather delays in all weather
SECTION 01 10 00.10 Page 4 dependent activities.
MONTHLY ANTICIPATED ADVERSE WEATHER DELAY
WORK DAYS BASED ON (5) DAY WORK WEEK
JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC
(7) (6) (8) (6) (7) (6) (7) (7) (5) (5) (5) (5)
(c) Upon acknowledgment of the Notice to Proceed (NTP) and continuing throughout the contract, the Contractor will record on the daily CQC report, the occurrence of adverse weather and resultant impact to normally scheduled work. 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 2, above, the Contracting Officer or his/her designated representative 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)".
(e) Island Creek Reservoir water levels. The Island Creek Reservoir has a pool elevation maintained at Elevation 257.0 year round. A major flood event potentially may raise the pool elevation for a period of time that could prevent construction activities as the pool elevation recedes. In the event of a major flood that prevents construction and/or access to the construction site the contractor will be granted a day for day time extension.
(End of Clause)
1.5 PERFORMANCE AND PAYMENT BONDS
Each bidder shall include his premiums for performance and payment bonds under the appropriate, "Performance and Payment Bonds" contact line item of the Bidding 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 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 RETAINAGE FOR UNTIMELY SUBMISSION OF SUBCONTRACTING REPORTS
(a) In accordance with Contract Clause 52.219-9I, Small Business and Small Disadvantage Business Subcontracting Plan, and 52.219-16, Liquidated Damages - Small Business Subcontracting Plan, retainage will be withheld from progress payments in an amount sufficient to protect the Government's ability to assess liquidated damages in accordance with Clause 52.219-16 for the contractor's failure to timely submit Standard Form 294, Subcontracting Report for Individual Contracts, and Standard Form 295, Summary Subcontract Report, reports.
(b) The retainage will be determined in accordance with the following formula:
Total dollar amount for subcontracting to small business multiplied by percentage of actual progress on the contract shall be withheld from the next progress payment due after the Contractor fails to submit a required report. If one or more reports have been submitted before such failure, formula for determining the amount of retainage will be adjusted by deducting any amounts reported as subcontracted to small business from the total dollar amount proposed to be subcontracted and the difference multiplied by the percentage of actual progress.
(c) Subcontracting plans are not required--
(1) For contracts or contract modifications that will be performed entirely outside of any State, territory, or possession of the United States, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico; or
(2) For modifications to contracts that do not contain the clause 52.219-8, Utilization of Small Business Concerns and Small Disadvantaged Business concerns (or equivalent prior DAR, FPR, or NASA clauses); e.g., contracts awarded before Pub. L. 95-507 and which are within the scope of the contract.

From the first day any work is done, the Contractor shall maintain in an equally satisfactory condition all of the items of work covered by the contract until they are finished, placed in service unfinished, or until all of the work is finally accepted. This maintenance shall be continuous and effective work prosecuted day by day with adequate equipment to the end that roadway and structures are kept in satisfactory and acceptable condition. The Contractor shall be responsible for maintaining all barricades, danger, warning, and detour signs and lights as specified hereinafter. When no pay item for such maintenance is shown in the

1.24 PARTNERING
In order to most effectively accomplish this contract, the Government proposes to form a cohesive partnership with the Contractor and its subcontractors. 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. Integral to the partnership would be a joint Contractor/Government effort to settle any disputes that may arise without costly and time consuming litigation. To that end, a non-binding procedure such as the Alternate Dispute Resolution process could be developed and agreed upon by both parties when it is determined to be necessary. This partnership would be bilateral in make-up and participation will be totally voluntary. Any cost associated with developing this partnership will be agreed to by both parties and will be shared equally with no change in contract price.
(End of Clause)

(b) Replacement of signs. When new work is necessary during any period of construction or maintenance, necessary signs shall be replaced as are needed to adequately warn and protect the public in accordance with the provisions outlined above. As soon as the project has been accepted for maintenance, all temporary barricades and warning signs shall be removed promptly.
(c) Cost of protective devices. Unless otherwise shown in the Bidding Schedule, the cost of furnishing, erecting, maintaining, and removing protective devices will not be paid for as separate bid items.
Where the Contractor is required to perform any of these functions, the cost thereof shall be included in the overall bid submitted.
