Okaloosa County BOCC — July 30, 2015 — I. e. Colleen Marine contract — reading text

Wright Landfill. J. Any machinery used to move and deploy the reef materials should be sufficiently powered/maneuverable and capably operated to ensure timely, effective and safe offloading of materials. K. Material shall be deployed in the configuration shown in the Construction Drawings to provide a long- term and stable marine resource with increased habitat complexity. As shown in the Construction Drawings, materials placed within artificial reef site #1 shall be tightly stacked and piled to achieve a vertical relief of 10 – 20 ft. with a rectangular footprint of approximately 50 ft. Materials placed within artificial reef site #2 shall be placed along the centerline of the proposed rectangle area to result in a linear reef approximately 30 – 50 ft. wide, 75 – 100 ft. long, and 5 – 10 ft. high. L. Any materials with a surface area greater than 50 square ft. on a single side shall be lowered into place with a crane to ensure accurate placement within the designed reef configuration. The contractor may propose, for approval by the Owner or Engineer, other placement methods that will ensure accurate placement and minimize the potential for material “drifting” during descent through the water column. The Owner or Engineer may require the Contractor to drop test materials prior to actual deployment to verify accurate placement. This procedure shall be repeated as necessary until it can be assured all materials will be placed within the approved areas as proposed. M. The Contractor shall initially place large concrete pieces as a base layer along the centroid/centerline of the reef to help stabilize the reef foundation and secondary materials. Following the initial deployment of the base/anchor materials, the Contractor shall survey the reef via underwater camera, fathometer, side scan sonar or divers to record the placement of base/anchor material. The Contractor shall determine if the site will require additional base material; if so, the Contractor shall mark the locations with buoys and GPS for subsequent deployments. Following the successful deployment of anchor/base materials, the Contractor shall deploy secondary material along the centerline and ends of the reef until the desired configuration and relief is achieved. N. The Contractor shall place the artificial reef materials to maximize the stacking and interlocking of individual pieces. The stacking and interlocking of large concrete materials shall create varying sized interspatial spaces or void space and provide shelter to target reef species. O. Individual reef materials should not be widely scattered. P. The Contractor shall document any deviations or variations from the Owner-approved Deployment Plan. Page 31 of 37  Q. The minimum vertical clearance at Mean Lower Low Water above the highest point of the reef material shall not be less than 33 feet for Reef #1 (Fish Haven 13) and 38 feet for Reef #2 (Fish Haven 14) as specified in the DOA permit for the sites. R. Precise placement of all materials is critical to the success of the project and to ensure existing structures at the project site are not impacted. Visibility at the site may be limited and tidal currents can be strong, complicating construction. The Contractor shall provide any and all personnel and equipment and employ whatever methodology necessary and acceptable to the Owner and/or Engineer to construct the reef, as required, in a safe and environmentally sound manner. S. The Owner will not pay for materials placed outside the designated deployment locations. The Contractor will be responsible for removing any such materials and relocating them within the proposed reef sites. T. The Contractor shall not deploy any materials not included on the approved material inventory or cargo manifest. At no time shall the Contractor deploy or dispose of any unapproved, on-board materials not meeting the regulatory authorizations or contract documents. Any trash, refuse or materials deployed or accidentally dropped by the Contractor shall be removed from State waters at the Contractor’s expense. 8.8 POST-DEPLOYMENT RECORDS The Contractor shall complete the Florida Artificial Reef Materials Placement Report and Post- Deployment Notification for each deployment location or date of deployment. The Contractor shall verify all material transported offshore was accurately placed within the proposed artificial reef construction site(s) and meets the specified deployment depth (relief of the reef) and final depth (clearance above the reef). Per the DOA permit, the Contractor will be required to submit a certified placement report indicating the exact latitude and longitude coordinates of the artificial reef construction site(s), accurate within 5 meters horizontal, and the reef height and water depth, verified utilizing a fathometer or depth sounder accurate to within 1 foot. The placement report shall also include information on the condition of the material at the time of deployment and shall include a statement verifying all material transported offshore was deployed within the proposed artificial reef site(s). The Contractor shall also include representative photographs of the material on the offshore conveyance prior to deployment and, if available, pictures and/or video of the material on the bottom. The Contractor shall attach to the report an as-built drawing that contains the approximate deployment configurations and the height of the material after placement. The report and drawings shall be limited to a few pages per deployment. Page 32 of 37  PART 9 - PROTECTION OF WORK 9.1 RISK OF LOSS A. All construction and associated activities specified in the Contract Documents for this project shall be performed at the sole risk and cost of the Contractor from commencement until final payment by the Owner. Any specific references, contained in the Contract Documents, regarding the Contractor’s sole responsibility for risk and cost for the work or any part thereof are not intended to be, nor shall they be construed to be, an exclusive listing of the circumstances in which the Contractor bears the risk of loss. Rather, such specific references are intended only to be exemplary. All loss or damage caused by the nature of the work or work environment, acts of nature such as storms, unusual obstructions to the work, or any other natural or existing circumstances either known or unforeseen that may be encountered in the conduct of the work shall be sustained and borne by the Contractor at its own cost and expense. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Contract, the Contractor’s obligation to accept the risk of loss shall exist without regard to the availability of any insurance, either of the Owner or the Contractor, to indemnify, hold harmless or reimburse the Contractor for the cost incurred in making such restoration. Page 33 of 37  PART 10 - MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT 10.1 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT This section describes how Line Items will be measured and paid for when making progress payments. Work to be measured is described below in sections listed specifically for each Line Item. Measurement procedures for payment, required quantity survey or procurement documentation and payment restrictions are described in applicable specification sections. The Contractor shall allocate costs for work not specifically mentioned in the Line Items to those line items most closely associated with work involved. Unless there is a specific Line Item for administrative costs, such as Quality Control and Safety, such costs shall be allocated proportionally across all Line Items. Payment shall be in accordance with the unit prices specified for the work and shall be based on the total weight of concrete artificial reef materials deployed in accordance with these Specifications and the Contract Documents. The Contractor may submit partial payment requests upon completing artificial reef construction at an individual reef site. 10.2 UNIT PRICE PAYMENT ITEMS A. Line Item No. 1.0, “Artificial Reef Construction”: Payment for contract line item no. (CLIN) 1.0 will be made for costs associated with or incidental to loading, transport, and deployment of approved artificial reef materials within the proposed deployment sites. Associated and incidental costs may include: submittals; providing labor, materials, tools, equipment, and incidentals for the installation of all work components as listed herein and on the drawings; pollution control; and all other appropriate costs in connection therewith or incidental thereto. CLIN 1.0, "Artificial Reef Construction" shall also include all other items of cost required by these specifications for which a separate payment is not provided for herein. Payment for CLIN 1.0 will be made only for approved artificial reef materials placed within the proposed reef sites. Payment quantities shall be determined by the Contractor and confirmed by the Owner using barge displacement measurements prior to and immediately following offshore transport. No payment will be made for rejected materials, materials that do not comply with applicable sections of these Specifications, and those materials that are defective or damaged during handling or placement. No payment will be made for materials placed outside of the designated reef sites or other activities required to conform to the provisions stipulated within these specifications or the contract documents (e.g., removal and relocation of material placed outside of the proposed sites, etc.). Measurement: Barge displacement shall be utilized for measurement of material tonnages to determine payments made to the Contractor. The Contractor shall furnish the Owner and Engineer with barge displacement formulas not less than ten (10) work days prior to loading approved reef materials to any barge. The Owner and Engineer shall use methods of measuring and calculating mutually acceptable to the Owner and the Contractor to determine an accurate tonnage of approved reef material on each barge. The Owner or Engineer shall record the waterline length, width, and draft (to the nearest inch) of the barge at all four corners and at the midpoints to calculate the average displacement of water due to the weight of the artificial reef materials. The Owner or Engineer, together with the Contractor, will perform these measurements and calculations before each barge departs the staging area for material deployment and again when the barge returns to shore after the deployment has been completed. The Contractor will provide the measurements of each barge load to the Owner or Engineer for approval. The measurements may not be taken while the barge is moving or offshore at the deployment site. The Page 34 of 37  Contractor shall not be paid for quantities that have not been verified and approved by the Owner or Engineer. In certain situations, as determined by the Owner, truck weigh tickets may be acceptable for verification of tonnage. Unit of Measure: U.S.
