SUMMARY OF WORK

PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

The general description below is given to indicate the approximate scope of this project only. It does not limit the work required under the project drawings and specifications.

The work of this project involves design, fabrication, and installation of one new stainless steel hydraulic vertical lift gate at Ball Mountain Dam in Jamaica, Vermont.

The work covered consists of the design, fabrication, shop assembly and testing, delivery, installation and site testing of one new stainless steel hydraulic vertical lift gate. Also included is the furnishment and installation of stainless steel gate and frame seals compatible with both the existing gate frame and new gate, new compatible babbitt, as well as reassembly of the operating machinery, including the reassembly of the hydraulic control system, prior to new gate commissioning. The gate and accessories shall operate properly with minimal gate leakage as defined in the specifications. All embedded portions of the existing gate frame shall remain in place. Existing babbitt and remaining side seals shall be removed. The hydraulic operating machinery is currently disassembled and approximately 500 gallons of hydraulic fluid from the system has been stored in the gatehouse (see photographs attached at the end of this section). The Contractor shall remove the stored hydraulic fluid and supply new hydraulic fluid per the specifications. Any work associated with the hydraulic system shall be considered subsidiary.

The Contractor shall remove and properly dispose of the existing Gate 1 after all installation work has been completed. Any remaining paint on the existing Gate 1 is lead based and shall be handled and disposed of accordingly.

The gate, seals and appurtenances shall be designed, supplied and guaranteed by one supplier who shall be solely responsible for the proper operation of all components as a single system.

The design of the lift gate shall meet the design requirements of

ETL 1110-2-584.

Gate Installation and Hydraulic Fluid Removal: The operator of the hoist must be a Class 2 licensed operator and the operation is considered a critical lift. Refer to the 1957 as-builts for details on the hoist and hydraulic system. The Contractor shall take care to control and contain any hydraulic fluid leakage during this operation. The Contractor shall prepare and submit a Gate Installation Work Plan for government review.

The plan shall outline the steps and procedures proposed for reinstalling the gate. All work in the conduit is identified as a confined space and shall adhere to the permit requirements for a confined space work environment.

SECTION 01 11 00 Page 3

1.2 WINTER SHUTDOWN PERIOD

This project will contain a Winter Shutdown period extending from 1 December 2018 to 31 March 2019. This shutdown period is due to the potential of sustained below freezing temperatures leading to ice buildup in the conduit and disruption of crane systems. During this period, no physical work shall be performed inside the gatehouse or conduit. The Contractor will continue progress on all other offsite design and fabrication work as well as preparation of submittals so as to meet the total project period of performance.

1.3 SITE CONDITIONS

This project consists of replacing existing lift gate #1 (north gate) as well as the gate seals. The existing gate frame shall remain in place.

The bonnet and hydraulic cylinder are currently disassembled and stored in the control tower directly adjacent to the gate slot (see photgraphs attached at the end of this section). Gate #1 has already been removed and is available at Ball Mountain Dam for review. There is some leakage through the hydro-electric gate upstream of the lift gate. The Contractor shall be responsible for managing all water resulting from the hydro-electric gate leakage. Also, the pool elevations and discharges through the other two gates vary depending on environmental requirements and seasonal rainfall to ensure minimum flows are met.

Service Bridge Load Capacity: The service bridge is HS20 rated and has a load capacity of 31.6 tons.

The gate lifting eye(s) (as shown on record drawing CT-1-4415, Sheet 66 of 86, Detail 62) are not available, and therefore cannot be utilized for placement of the new gate.

1.7 INFORMATION ONLY SUBMITTALS

Normally submittals for information only will not be returned. Approval of the Contracting Officer is not required on information only submittals.

The Government reserves the right to require the Contractor to resubmit any item found not to comply with the contract. This does not relieve the Contractor from the obligation to furnish material conforming to the plans and specifications, will not prevent the Contracting Officer from requiring removal and replacement of nonconforming material incorporated in the work, and does not relieve the Contractor of the requirement to furnish samples for testing by the Government laboratory or for check testing by the Government in those instances where the technical specifications so prescribe.

1.8 VARIATIONS

Variations from contract requirements require both Designer of Record (DOR) and Government approval pursuant to contract Clause FAR 52.236-21 and will be considered where advantageous to Government.

1.8.1 Considering Variations

Discussion with Contracting Officer prior to submission, after consulting with the DOR, will help ensure functional and quality requirements are met and minimize rejections and re-submittals. When contemplating a variation that results in lower cost, consider submission of the variation as a Value Engineering Change Proposal (VECP).

Specifically point out variations from contract requirements in transmittal letters. Failure to point out deviations may result in the Government requiring rejection and removal of such work at no additional cost to the Government.

1.8.2 Proposing Variations

When proposing variation, deliver written request to the Contracting Officer, with documentation of the nature and features of the variation and why the variation is desirable and beneficial to Government, including the DOR's written analysis and approval. If lower cost is a benefit, also include an estimate of the cost savings. In addition to documentation required for variation, include the submittals required for the item.

Clearly mark the proposed variation in all documentation.

Check the column "variation" of ENG Form 4025 for submittals that include proposed deviations requested by the Contractor. Set forth in writing the reason for any deviations and annotate such deviations on the submittal.

The Government reserves the right to rescind inadvertent approval of submittals containing unnoted deviations.

SECTION 01 33 00 Page 7

1.8.3 Warranting That Variations Are Compatible

When delivering a variation for approval, Contractor, including its Designer(s) of Record, warrants that this contract has been reviewed to establish that the variation, if incorporated, will be compatible with other elements of work.

(i) as approved. A submittal register showing items of equipment and materials for which submittals are required by the specifications is provided as an attachment. This list may not be all inclusive and additional submittals may be required. Maintain a submittal register for the project in accordance with Section 01 45 01 RESIDENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM CONTRACTOR MODE (RMS CM). The Government will provide the initial submittal register in electronic format with the following fields completed, to the extent that will be required by the Government during subsequent usage.

Column (c): Lists specification section in which submittal is required.

Column (d): Lists each submittal description (SD No. and type, e.g. SD-02 Shop Drawings) required in each specification section.

Column (e): Lists one principal paragraph in specification section where a material or product is specified. This listing is only to facilitate locating submitted requirements. Do not consider entries in column (e) as limiting project requirements.

Thereafter, the Contractor is to track all submittals by maintaining a complete list, including completion of all data columns, including dates on which submittals are received and returned by the Government.
