broken concrete rubble pieces or concrete units weighing between 500 and 1,000 lbs. At no time shall the contractor load, haul or deploy materials weighing less than 500 lbs. 7.5 MATERIAL COMPOSITON The majority of the concrete targets from Eglin AFB were used to conduct sub-scale testing of advanced penetrator weapons. These subscale penetrator tests use inert (non-explosive) projectiles made of steel, which are propelled at high velocity by a large gun into the concrete targets. A few of the targets were impacted by inert tungsten projectiles and are marked with elemental symbol "W". After the impact test, the projectiles are recovered from the concrete by coring out the area around the projectile if they do not pass through it completely or are not easily recovered by other means. No explosive containing projectiles were fired into the approved materials. However, because these targets were tested on an active explosives test range, Eglin AFB's Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) office will certify the targets to be free of any explosive hazards prior to being removed from the test range as required by Eglin AFB’s standard range procedures. The concrete targets at this site are clean, and do not contain any hazardous material that would result in contamination of the environment. The Contractor shall be provided with a copy of the certification from EOD for their records. 7.6 LIABILITY & RESPONSIBILITY FOR REEF MATERIALS Upon initiation of the handling and movement of the artificial reef materials, all liability, risk of loss, and responsibility for the safe handling, storage, transportation and deployment of the materials shall be borne by the Contractor. This liability, assumption of risk and responsibility shall remain with the Contractor until the materials are deployed at the permitted reef site(s) in accordance with the contract documents.

Within ten (10) calendar days of the Notice of Award, the Contractor will submit the Deployment Plan for review and acceptance by the Owner and Engineer. The plan shall include the construction schedule (including all work from initial mobilization through demobilization); staging area and access requirements; a list of all work force and equipment required for handling, transport, and deployment operations; deployment methodology describing how the materials will be loaded, transported and deployed; and the qualifications of supervisor(s). The qualifications shall provide a detailed description of the Contractor’s experience, including a list of artificial reef deployments within the last 5 years, and understanding of artificial reef deployments. The Contractor’s qualifications shall also reference specific experience with artificial reef construction (including loading, transport, and offshore deployment) utilizing repurposed concrete materials. The Contractor shall also provide with the deployment plan documentation of any additional required permits, licenses, authorizations, etc. that may be necessary to perform the work. B. The Deployment Plan will be reviewed and discussed at the Pre-Construction Conference. Owner and Engineer approval of the Deployment Plan shall be a required prerequisite to the start of construction. The Deployment Plan shall include the following: 1. Work Progress Schedule: A Work Progress Schedule shall be developed and provided to the Owner and Engineer showing the time allotted for each of the various tasks. The schedule shall show the various tasks of work in sufficient detail to demonstrate that the Contractor has a reasonable and workable plan to complete the Project within the Contract Period. The Schedule shall show the order and interdependence of tasks and the sequence in which the work is to be accomplished as planned by the Contractor. All activities shall be described so that the work is readily identifiable and the progress on each task can be readily measured. Each task shall show a beginning work date and duration. Tasks shall include procurement time for materials, plants and equipment, various tasks involved in mobilization/demobilization, and rate of operations (including anticipated daily volumes of material transported). Additional consideration shall be given to scheduling and coordination required to access the stockpile areas as well as potential weather delays. The list of tasks shall also include milestones when indicated by the Contract Documents. If the Owner determines that the Schedule submitted by the Contractor is inadequate, the Owner shall return the schedule to the Contractor for correction. The Contractor shall have five (5) calendar days from the date of transmittal to submit a corrected schedule. Failure to provide the revised Schedule in the time specified shall result in withholding of all Contract Payments until the revised Schedule is approved. This item shall be performed at the expense of the Contractor. Approval of the Schedule shall be a required prerequisite to the start of construction. When approved, this original Schedule shall become part of the Contract Documents and shall constitute the baseline against which progress is measured. 2. Letter or Statement of Appointment designating a Project Construction Manager, describing responsibilities, and providing qualifications. 3. Proposed Equipment List including all equipment required to perform the work (loading, hauling, offshore transport, and deployment). The Contractor shall provide a statement clearly indicating all equipment utilized for the project is properly licensed, certified, approved, and insured in accordance with local, State and Federal law. Page 26 of 37  4. Proposed Construction Methodology including a description of proposed methods for accessing the staging site, material hauling, waterside loading, offshore deployment of materials at the reef sites (including pre-deployment inspections, anchoring plan, buoy markers, communications, production rates/haul capacity, etc.) and staging site restoration. 5. Exact quantity (tons) of concrete material proposed for artificial reef deployment. 6. Subcontractor list. 8.2 PRE-DEPLOYMENT NOTIFICATION A. The Contractor shall prepare and submit the required Florida Artificial Reef Materials Cargo Manifest and Pre-Deployment Notification Form to the USACE, FWC, and Engineer at least 14 days prior to material loading or transport as required by the DOA permit (Appendix C). The Contractor shall not handle, load, transport or deploy materials until the end of the 14-day inspection period. The contractor is encouraged to submit the required forms earlier than 14 days prior to construction commencement to reduce the potential for construction delays. B. The Contractor shall not load, transport or deploy materials if notified by the USACE or FWC that the material is questionable. The Contractor shall only handle, load, transport and deploy materials deemed acceptable by the Owner, USACE and FWC, and only after the 14-day inspection period has expired. C. The Owner and Contractor agree to allow the FWC or its designee to conduct on-site inspections of all phases of this artificial reef project before, during, and after the deployment. The Contractor shall document the concrete material on the barge via written reports and photographs at the deployment site immediately before deployment. 8.3 LOADING & TRANSPORTATION A. The Contractor shall provide all supervision, labor, and equipment necessary for loading reef construction materials from the current stockpile areas to the proposed waterside loading area, loading the material on a suitable offshore conveyance, transporting the materials offshore to the reef construction sites, and precise placement of the material to create artificial reefs. The Contractor shall maintain any and all necessary permits, licenses, and authorizations for transporting the materials from the existing staging area to the waterside loading area and to the offshore artificial reef site. B. The Contractor assumes all liability, risk of loss and responsibility for the safe handling, transportation, and storage of all artificial reef materials. The Contractor shall not drop, push or handle material in such a manner that may compromise the structural integrity of the material. The Contractor shall not load materials that appear (as observed by the Contractor) structurally compromised, do not meet the weight requirements, or do not meet any other requirements within these specifications (clean materials, etc.). C. The proposed material transport routes are shown in the Construction Drawings. The Contractor shall adhere to these haul routes unless otherwise proposed in the Deployment Plan and approved by the Owner. D. The proposed material loading, handling and hauling operations shall be performed in such a manner as to minimize the work area footprint, reduce damage to upland property, and reduce the potential deterioration of existing access and haul routes. Page 27 of 37  E. The Contractor will provide sufficiently powered offshore conveyance (sea-worthy barge and towing vessel, etc.) personnel, and all necessary equipment to transport the material offshore and complete the deployment. The Contractor will allow the Owner or their designee to be onboard the material transport vessel or the Contractor shall provide a support vessel for the Owner or their designee during all offshore transport and deployment operations. F. All offshore conveyance equipment (barges, tugs, etc.), support vessels, and operators shall be licensed and approved by the U.S. Coast Guard and any other applicable regulatory authorities and maintain the necessary insurances for the work required. G. The Contractor shall only load and transport the volume of material that can be safely placed on the available offshore conveyance, unless the Engineer and waterside loading area property owner approve stockpiling of materials at the waterside loading area. This requirement is intended to reduce additional material handling and eliminate the need for additional waterside staging areas. H. Reef material loaded onto the upland and offshore transporting equipment (trucks, trailers, vessels, etc.) must be property secured in compliance with the Florida Department of Transportation, U.S. Coast Guard, and any other applicable regulatory agency standards and regulations to allow for safe transport to the artificial reef construction site. The Contractor shall be responsible for removing any materials accidentally dropped along upland or offshore transport routes or accidentally dropped or deployed in State Waters outside of the proposed deployment sites (Reef Sites #1 and #2).
