All costs for items of work, which are not specifically mentioned to be included in a particular Bidding Schedule job or unit price payment item, shall be included in the listed job or unit price item most closely associated with the work involved. Any bid price for items indicated in the BIDDING SCHEDULE which are unbalanced as to price may be rejected as non-responsive. An unbalanced bid is one which is based on price significantly less than cost for some work and price which is significantly overstated for other work.

A. Item Number 0001, "Mobilization and Demobilization for Dredging and Disposal".

Payment will be made for costs associated with mobilization and demobilization for dredging operations and disposal operations as defined in Special Contract Requirements clause "PAYMENT FOR

MOBILIZATION AND DEMOBILIZATION".

Unit of Measure: Job.

B. Item Number 0002, "Dredging and Disposal, Material from Doubling Point Area".

C. Item Number 0003, "Dredging and Disposal, Material from Popham Beach Area".

The contract price per cubic yard for Payment Item Numbers 0002 and 0003 shall include all costs for the removal, to the specified depths as indicated on the contract drawings, of all dredged materials encountered from the Federal Navigation Project (FNP) which includes the 27-foot deep by 500-foot wide channel, with transporting to and disposal of the dredged material at the designated in-river placement site located north of Bluff Head and at a previously used 500-yard circular near-shore placement site located about 0.4 nautical miles south of Jackknife Ledge, as specified in Section 35 20 23 MECHANICAL

DREDGING.

The total amount of material removed and paid for under the contract for these Items will be measured by the cubic yard in place by computing the volume between the bottom surface shown by soundings of the last Government specificationlast or pre-dredge survey made before dredging begins and the bottom surface shown by the soundings of an after-dredge survey made as soon as practicable after the removal of the material. Dredged material will be included that is within the limits of the side slopes and specified overdepths as described in Section 35 20 23 DREDGING, Subpart OVERDEPTH AND SIDE SLOPES, less any deductions that may be required for misplaced material described in Subpart "Excessive Dredging".

The contract drawings are believed to accurately represent conditions existing on the date of the survey shown on the drawings, but the depths and the specific areas to be dredged shown thereon may be verified and corrected by soundings taken by the Government before dredging begins. Determination of quantities removed and the deductions made to determine quantities after having once been made by

SECTION 01 22 00 Page 3 the Contracting Officer, will not be reopened, except on evidence of collusion, fraud, or obvious error. Refer to Special Contract Requirements, subpart "Contract Drawings and Specifications" for additional information and requirements regarding contract drawings.

The contract price per cubic yard for dredging for these items shall include the cost of removal and disposal of all materials as specified herein or indicated on the contract drawings, except ledge rock, large boulders, and other unclassified materials, which cannot be removed by the plant specified in the accepted bid, or the equivalent of such plant, without blasting. Should ledge rock or other material which cannot be removed by the plant specified in the accepted bid, or its equivalent, without blasting, be encountered, the Contractor shall remove therefrom all overlying material which in the judgement of the Contracting Officer can be removed by the use of plant so specified or its equivalent. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as prohibiting the removal of excepted material described above by special means at prices agreed upon and approved in accordance with the article of the contract clauses entitled "Changes."

The contract drawings listed in Special Contract Requirements, Paragraph "Contract Drawings, Maps and Specifications" are believed to accurately represent conditions existing on the date of the survey shown on the drawings, but the depths and the specific areas to be dredged shown thereon may be verified and corrected by soundings taken by the Government before dredging begins. Determination of quantities removed and the deductions made to determine quantities after having once been made by the Contracting Officer, will not be reopened, except on evidence of collusion, fraud, or obvious error.

Monthly partial payments will be based on approximate quantities determined by Contractor quality control surveys. The pre-dredge survey made immediately before dredging, and the after dredge survey made as soon as practicable after the removal of the material, will be performed by the Government at no cost to the Contractor.

The contract price per cubic yard for dredging for Items 0002 and 0003 shall include the costs associated with utilizing Environmental Observers as described in Section 35 20 23 DREDGING.

No separate measurement or payment will be made for the removal of debris during dredging operations as specified in Section 35 20 23 MECHANICAL DREDGING, Subpart DEBRIS MANAGEMENT.

Unit of Measure: Cubic Yard (CD).
