SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

PARAGRAPH 1.1(A) OF SECTION 00 80 00 “SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIRMENTS”

ON PAGE 40 OF THE SOLICITATION IS DELETED IN ITS ENTIRETY AND

REPLACED WITH THE FOLLOWING:

(a) Operational Restrictions:

To avoid impacts to local environmental resources and due to environmental restrictions, the dredging operations required under this contract will only be permitted between 15 November 2016 and 1 March 2017, inclusive. Therefore, the “No Dredge Season” is defined as all dates prior to 15 November 2016 and after 1 March 2017.

THE FOLLOWING ITEM “J.” IS ADDED TO THE LISTOF ITEMS IN PART 1.7.2

“CONTENTS” OF SECTION 01 57 20 “ENVIORNMENTAL PROTECTION” PAGE 4

OF THE SPECIFICATION SECTION, FOR INCLUSION IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL

PROTECTION PLAN:

j. Notification procedure for reporting adverse impacts to biological resources (e.g., fish, eelgrass) or water quality (e.g., excessive turbidity plumes, oily sheens on water surface) to the Corps. Include information concerning at what point activities will be brought to a halt until the problem is resolved.

DELETE SECTION 35 20 23 Part 3.3 – “TRANSPORTATION OF DREDGED

MATERIAL” AND REPLACE WITH THE FOLLOWING:

All nautical vessels and conveyance systems shall be operated, loaded and unloaded in such a manner as to prevent overflow, spills, leaks, or other loss of dredged materials between point of pick-up and point of deposition within the disposal area. Under no conditions shall any barge or scow transporting dredged materials have less than 1 foot of freeboard. This means there shall be at least 1 foot between the top of dredged materials and/or water inside the scow or barge and the top edge of the barge or scow. Any modifications to vessels to allow additional freeboard shall be approved by the Contracting Officer. All vessels for transporting dredged material must be inspected and approved by the Contracting Officer 7 days prior to the start of dredging. At this inspection, the Contractor shall demonstrate that all vessels are sound and capable of containing dredged material without leakage.

DELETE SECTION 35 20 23 Part 3.7.2 – “SCOWS” AND REPLACE WITH THE

FOLLOWING:

a. Failure to repair leaks or a change in the method of operation which is resulting in spillage of dredged material will result in suspension of dredging operations and require prompt repair or change of operation to prevent spillage as a prerequisite to the resumption of dredging.

b. The Contractor shall provide and maintain markings on all scows clearly indicating the draft of the scow and shall provide scow cards for each scow used on the contract work.

The scow cards shall show dimensions and volumes of individual pockets of scows and total volumes for varying depths below coaming or top of pockets. The Contractor shall also provide draft verses displacement curves for all scows. This is to enable the Contracting Officer personnel to make a determination of scow volume and corresponding drafts under partial and full load conditions. These measurements are to be made at the time of initial use of each scow. The scow volume estimates are for use in connection with disposal area monitoring studies and are not intended to be used in determining quantities dredged. At the beginning of the work and as additional scows arrive on the project, sufficient time shall be allowed by the Contractor and assistance of Contractor personnel shall be made available by the Contractor for the purpose of obtaining the measurements of each scow under various partial and full load conditions.

During the entire period of contract work, the Contractor shall provide and maintain sufficient spot or floodlights to permit the reading of the draft on the sides of scows at bow and stern from the tow boat at night and when visibility is impaired.

c. The Contractor shall achieve proper closure of pocket doors to eliminate seepage or leakage of dredged material. The use of plastic material to cover cracks in scow pockets will not be allowed.

THE FOLLOWING RESPONSES ARE FOR THE SITE VISIT REQUESTS FOR

INFORMATION:

1.) Is the Contractor required to remove any other shoals other than the one shown on the drawings?

a. No.

2.) Are there any restrictions from the lobster association regarding dredging operations?

a. All restrictions are clearly indicated in the plans and specifications and in the included permits Section 01 57 20.

3.) Will the Contractor be responsible for maintaining commercial/recreational boat traffic through the area while the project is ongoing?

a. See Section 35 20 23 Part 1.12.6.

5.) Are the coordinates for the disposal site accurate as shown on the drawings?

a. See maps located at the end of Section 35 20 23.
