SUMMARY OF WORK

PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION

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 removal of a navigation obstruction from the Federal Channel in Portland, Maine. Works includes mobilization and demobilization of marine plant and equipment as necessary, removal of the navigation obstruction from the channel and from the water, and disposal of the obstruction at a land location secured by the Contractor and certified to accept disposal.

The obstruction designated for removal appears to be a wood and metal piling with fendering in place. The pile is embedded at an angle in the channel bottom, with the high end reaching elevation -30.8 feet MLLW in the -35 foot MLLW deep channel. Approximately 32 feet of the pile is exposed above the mudline of the channel bottom. The full length of the pile is unknown. The intact fendering is at the mudline. The wood of the pile is anticipated to have been creosote-treated. The objective of the pile removal is to remove the full length of the pile, from above the mudline and below, from the water and handle, transport and dispose of the pile and associated items at a land location in accordance with Federal, state, and local laws, rules, and regulations pertaining to handling, transportation and disposal of creosote-treated materials.

The Contractor must confirm the removal of the piling with photographic evidence at the channel bottom in the location of the pile removal.

If, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, the Contractor has shown that removal of the full pile is not possible after attempts at full removal have failed, the pile may be cut below elevation -35.5 feet MLLW with the portion below -35.5 feet MLLW remaining in place. The pile above -35.5 feet MLLW shall be removed and disposed of as stated above.

The Contractor shall perform the work in strict accordance with the contract drawings and specifications and provide all supervision, plant, labor, materials, equipment, safety, and quality control necessary to perform all operations as necessary to accomplish the work, complete. The Contractor is responsible for providing and utilizing appropriate plant and equipment to remove and dispose of the navigation obstruction.

1.2 PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE

The period of performance is defined in the SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS, Subpart COMMENCEMENT, PROSECUTION AND COMPLETION OF WORK. The period of performance includes all work defined by this project.

1.3 SITE PHOTOGRAPHS AND SURVEY INFORMATION

Attached at the end of the specification document are photographs and

SECTION 01 11 00 Page 1 other survey information of the navigation obstruction taken at the project site during recent site investigations. The photographs and survey information are intended to show the approximate conditions existing at the obstruction location. Items shown are not generally shown in their entirety. The Government does not guarantee that the conditions shown in the photographs and data will exist at the time of the performance of the work, and the Contractor is advised to investigate existing conditions.

The location for the docking of floating plant and the off-loading of equipment and crews shall be clearly indicated.

1.7 PROJECT SITE CONDITIONS

1.7.1 Physical Data

Data and information furnished or referred to below is for the Contractor's information. The Government shall not be responsible for any interpretation of or conclusion drawn from the data or information by the Contractor.

a. Site Conditions: The indications of physical conditions on the drawings and in the specifications are the result of site investigations and surveys. The conditions represented prevailed at the time the investigations and surveys were made. Before commencing work at the site, the Contractor shall verify the existing conditions indicated on the drawings and in the specifications. See CONTRACT CLAUSE entitled "SITE INVESTIGATION AND CONDITIONS AFFECTING THE WORK".

b. Weather Conditions: Weather conditions for the site may be obtained by the Contractor from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Weather Service; www.NOAA.gov.

c. Tide Conditions: The mean tidal range in the project area is 9.12 feet mean higher high water (MHHW) to mean lower low water (MLLW). The Federal Channel is marginally sheltered from the effects of coastal storms. Predicted times and heights of tides for each day of the year can be obtained from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Ocean Service, "Tidal Current Tables, Atlantic Coast of North America."

d. Transportation facilities: The Contractor shall make its own investigations on the use of town, State and Federal highways, roads, streets, and bridges.

The Government will not undertake to keep the channel free from vessels or other obstructions, except to the extent of applicable regulations. The Contractor shall conduct the work in such a manner as to obstruct navigation as little as possible, and in the event the Contractor's plant so obstructs the channel as to make difficult or endanger the passage of any vessels, the plant shall be promptly moved on the approach of any vessel to such an extent as may be necessary to afford a practicable passage. The Contractor shall coordinate with the Portland Pilots to obtain a report for each day's channel traffic.

f. Tide and Weather Conditions: Flow data and tide conditions in Portland Harbor shall be determined by the Contractor.

g. Utilities: There are no known utility crossings in areas to be impacted by the work. The Contractor shall make his own investigations concerning utility lines crossing in work areas.
