PPA-1 Augusta, GA Engineering Department PROJECT DESCRIPTION HIERS POND & LAKE AUMOND SEDIMENT DREDGING & DISPOSAL PHASE I (HIERS POND) 2018 Hiers Pond & Lake Aumond Sediment Dredging and Disposal I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Augusta Engineering Department (AED) has plans to undertake mechanical dredging operations in two waterbodies within the limits of Augusta to improve aesthetics and generally return portions of these waters to their earlier configurations following years of siltation.The waterbodies include Lake Aumond and Hiers Pond. Site and dredging activities are more specifically described below (see figures for locations). The site is located within Lake Aumond (Latitude 33.48017, Longitude -82.06456) and Hiers Pond (Latitude 33.4835, Longitude - 82.06124), in Augusta, Richmond County, Georgia; Lake Aumond on Raes Creek upstream from Walton Way and Heirs Pond on Raes Creek upstream from West Lake Forrest Drive. Proposed dredging work would be performed in the dry by bulldozers, excavators, and backhoes. AED is proposing to remove 54,200 Cubic Yards (CYs) of accumulated sediment from Lake Aumond and 24,000 CYs of accumulated sediment from Hiers Pond via a bulldozer, excavator, and/or backhoe. Rae's Creek will be diverted and both water bodies would be drained prior to dredging. Thus the work will occur in the dry. Hiers Pond will be dredged first. A diversion structure will be placed above Hiers Pond, and the water in the creek will be diverted around the pond through a pipe and into the discharge box at the lower end of Hiers Pond. Once dredging is complete for Hiers Pond, dredging of Lake Aumond will commence. Prior to dredging, the discharge box from Hiers Pond will be closed, and water will be diverted around Lake Aumond and into the emergency spillway at the lower end of Lake Aumond. Upon completion of the dredging operations, the diversion structures will be removed. All dredged material will be placed in sealed dump trucks and hauled to an approved upland disposal site.

Qualifications & Experience: Gator Dredging has over 12 years experience with mechanical &hydraulic dredging,dewatering,and hauling projects. Listed below are three references,example projects,and key resumes that involved the both mechanical& hydraulic dredging of sediment.These projects also involved the hauling of dewatering sediments to the approved disposal locations using sealed dump trucks.The attached project cut sheets highlight Gator Dredging's range of experience;from hydraulically dredging 22,000cubic yards from a navigable channel in Murrell's Inlet,to the mechanical dredging of over 900,000cubic yards of sediment from the Turkey Point Nuclear Power Station in Homestead, Florida. The Turkey Point Canal Cooling System dredging project was performed using long-reach excavators dredging over 900,000 cubic yards from the mile-long canals of the power station canal cooling system.The long-reach excavators were positioned on the canal berms and on barges to dredge over 35 miles of the 168 mile canal system.Sediment was dredged and placed into dewatering cells that were built on top of the berms along the length of the canals. While the dredging of 236,000cy for the Brevard County Turkey Creek project was done hydraulically,the dredged sediment was then mechanically dewatered using excavators working on the berms of the large Dredged Material Management Area (DMMA)shown in the project cut sheet.Once the sediment was dewatered,the sediment was loaded into our sealed dump trucks and hauled to the approved disposal location.This operation was similar to the process for the Murrell's Inlet project,though the sediment was dewatered using large geo-tube bags to filter the dredged water. 3. Organization &Approach William Coughlin will be the Project Supervisor and Bret Sapp will be the Project Superintendant/ Operations Manager. Please see attached the resumes of William J. Coughlin and Bret Sapp,who are the key personnel for projects of this type and scope. Proper organization and coordination is crucial is providing a successful project.The sequencing recommended by the City is accurate as to limiting the potential of sediment transport and accumulation within the active work zone(s)and downstream lake/stormwater facilities. 4. Scope of Services Disposal Location: The Tobacco Road disposal location will be the initial work location. The staging and mobilizing of equipment will occur within a specified area. The entire limits of work will be staked by professional staff prior to arrival of equipment to the site. Once equipment has been delivered, inspected, and tested,work shall begin. The initial phase of work will be installation of soil erosion control measures including the construction entrance,silt fence,and drainage pipe. Upon completion of the erosion control measures,excavation of the existing soil will begin. The material will be excavated and transported by off road truck to the fill limits of the proposed berm walls with duplicate operations working at the same time. A dozer will grade the material to the berm footprint limits in specified lifts. Once a lift is complete,a compacting roller will be utilized to compact the placed soil. This process will be performed in subsequent lifts until required berm dimensions are attained. Excess material will be transported to the designated stockpile area for future use in capping the lake sediment. Final Phase of work will include placement of the excavated/stockpiled material on top of the disposed sediment. The material will be transported to an excavator which will cast the material over the dewatered sediment and if conditions allow,grading equipment will grade the cast material to the specified grade(s). All disturbed areas will be restored to pre-existing conditions. Lake Hiers Dredging: The initial phase of work will be installation of soil erosion control measures including the silt fence,floating turbidity curtain(s), maintenance of traffic signage,and dewatering pump and piping. A controlling dam/structure will be installed to captures the water in the upstream end of the lake for by- pass pumping to the control structure at the downstream end of the lake. Once the stormwater by-pass system is installed and tested,the water will be drained from the lake by dropping of the weir boards at the existing control structure. Once the excess water is drained form the lake, access locations will be designated for loading sealed dump trucks which will be located in the adjacent rights-of-way. Lake sediment excavation will begin working form downstream to upstream with material transported to the truck loading locations. Proper quality control will be implemented to insure grades are attained prior to moving to another internal work area. Constant inspection of the adjacent roadways will be performed with immediate street cleaning procedures implemented upon unsatisfactory conditions are identified. The expected daily production rate for sediment removal is 900 cubic yards.All work performed will follow Gator Dredging Safety Program. Routine inspections and operational maintenance of the stormwater by- pass system will be performed. Once zones of the lake are completed,the side slopes will be grasses and matted for erosion protection. Once the lake has been dredged to the specified grade(s),equipment will be removed from within the lake boundaries and the stormwater by-pass system will be dismantled and the control structure will be cleaned and placed back into service. All permit(404 Individual permit conditions) and local code requirements will be followed throughout the duration of the lake dredging. All disturbed areas will be restored to pre-existing conditions. Masters: All equipment will be removed from the lake work areas during the Masters Golf Tournament (2.5 weeks total). Lake Aumond Dredging: The initial phase of work will be installation of soil erosion control measures including the silt fence,floating turbidity curtain(s), maintenance of traffic signage, and dewatering pump and piping. A controlling dam/structure will be installed to captures the water in the upstream end of the lake for by-pass pumping to the control structure at the downstream end of the lake. Once the stormwater by-pass system is installed and tested,the water will be drained from the lake by dropping of the weir boards at the existing control structure. Once the excess water is drained form the lake, access locations will be designated for loading sealed dump trucks which will be located along the adjacent right-of-way and vacant area at the Northeast corner of the lake. Lake sediment excavation will begin working form r d r * downstream to upstream with material transported to the truck loading locations. Proper quality control will be implemented to insure grades are attained prior to moving to another internal work area. Constant inspection of the adjacent roadways will be performed with immediate street cleaning procedures implemented upon unsatisfactory conditions are identified. The expected daily production rate for sediment removal is 900 cubic yards.All work performed will follow Gator Dredging Safety Program. Routine inspections and operational maintenance of the stormwater by-pass system will be performed. Once zones of the lake are completed,the side slopes will be grasses and matted for erosion protection. Once the lake has been dredged to the specified grade(s),equipment will be removed from within the lake boundaries and the stormwater by-pass system will be dismantled and the control structure will be cleaned and placed back into service. All permit(404 Individual permit conditions)and local code requirements will be followed throughout the duration of the lake dredging.All disturbed areas will be restored to pre- existing conditions. Completion of all Dredging Activities per Project Plans: Contractor is prepared to complete the project per the project plans including specified methods,specifications, plan notes as presented. Compliance with SAS-2012-00778:Contractor is familiar with permit conditions and has planned its methods based on the requirements. Compliance is not considered an issue by the Contractor. Approach Resolving dredging/construction conflicts or problems: Due to the amount of dredging that Gator executes and the complexity of many of our projects,we have developed a support staff unique in the dredging industry.With engineers, surveyors and specialized dredge crew on staff, Gator is able to respond to changes in project requirements with quick innovative solutions.Within the organization there is a support network of subject matter experts who can assist site staff with analyzing and maximizing productively and execute efficiency procedures. Gator Dredging is a fully integrated marine services company which can design, build and manage the most complex projects.We strive to develop a cohesive partnership with our Clients at the start of every project which affords operational transparency and direct lines communication. A further example of this type of partnership was during the Turkey Creek Muck Removal Project for Brevard County, Florida.The project experienced significant additional work due to nutrient removal, hurricane impacts and weir failures that were out of the contractor's control.Gator worked in good faith with the County to address each issue as it arose.This transparency and communication allowed Gator and the County to avoid significant project delays and construction claim costs. • Project Deliverables: As-Built Drawings: Contractor will keep as-built drawings indicating grades attained and any facilities encountered noted. The as-built drawings can be utilized for quality control and permit requirement assurance. Schedule of Values: The contract schedule of values will be processed weekly to track the quantities of work performed and delivered to City with pay request applications. Daily Reports: Contractor will maintain Daily Reports indicating the work elements completed, production rates,and a disposal summary of material disposed. Will also, include labor and equipment on site along with material deliveries. • Mt r Environmental Reports: Any required environmental reports will be provided on the specified period(s). • Cost Control and Budget Methodology Gator plans to utilize a professional staff with decades of combined experience in this type of work.All phases will be completed by Gator personnel including the assignment of a designated Project Manager (PM).The PM will take an active role in implementing the project quality control program which includes but is not limited to schedule, budget, inspection of work,site meetings, record keeping and monitoring cost performance and work completed.The program will enable Gator to input,track,and share critical project details including administration,finances,quality control,submittal monitoring,scheduling and deficiency tracking throughout the contract period. Gator will manage costs and budgeting through in- house accounting and on-site project management resources. Daily operating costs, billing and cash flow will be continually monitored and tracked against the project budget and project schedule to ensure financial and operational goals are maintained.Other monitoring tools may be used to further ensure that staffing,equipment and materials have been adequately sourced and efficiently utilized.The PM will be well equipped to execute the project,with due consideration to the quality of work,yet within the estimated costs and limits. Evidence of successful budget management can be found within the Turkey Creek Muck Removal Project executed in early 2017 for Brevard County, Florida.The project included the dredging,dewatering and disposal/beneficial reuse of over 236,000 cubic yards of sediment.The contract consisted of over 30 contract line items with several options and client initiated change orders awarded during the project. Overall Gator completed the work on time and within budget to the extreme satisfaction of the Owner. 5. Schedule Gator Dredging is prepared to perform all work within the dates required by the City. Please see the attached project schedule for further details. 6.

The purpose of this agreement is to set forth terms and conditions which the Employer will follow while participating in E-Verify. E-Verify is a program that electronically confirms an employee's eligibility to work in the United States after completion of Form 1-9, Employment Eligibility Verification (Form 1-9). This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)explains certain features of the E-Verify program and describes specific responsibilities of the Employer,the Social Security Administration (SSA), and DHS. Authority for the E-Verify program is found in Title IV, Subtitle A,of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996(IIRIRA), Pub. L. 104-208, 110 Stat. 3009, as amended(8 U.S.C. § 1324a note).The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 22.18, "Employment Eligibility Verification"and Executive Order 12989, as amended, provide authority for Federal contractors and subcontractors(Federal contractor)to use E-Verify to verify the employment eligibility of certain employees working on Federal contracts. ARTICLE II RESPONSIBILITIES A. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE EMPLOYER 1. The Employer agrees to display the following notices supplied by DHS in a prominent place that is clearly visible to prospective employees and all employees who are to be verified through the system: a. Notice of E-Verify Participation b. Notice of Right to Work 2. The Employer agrees to provide to the SSA and DHS the names, titles, addresses, and telephone numbers of the Employer representatives to be contacted about E-Verify. The Employer also agrees to keep such information current by providing updated information to SSA and DHS whenever the representatives' contact information changes. 3. The Employer agrees to grant E-Verify access only to current employees who need E-Verify access. Employers must promptly terminate an employee's E-Verify access if the employer is separated from the company or no longer needs access to E-Verify. Page 1 of 17 E Verify MOU for Employers I Revision Date 06/01/13 eriFy w gay "<,t , rrr Company ID Number: 976491 employed an unauthorized alien in violation of section 274A(a)(1)(A); and (5)no E-Verify participant is civilly or criminally liable under any law for any action taken in good faith based on information provided through the E-Verify. b. DHS reserves the right to conduct Form 1-9 compliance inspections, as well as any other enforcement or compliance activity authorized by law, including site visits,to ensure proper use of E-Verify. 9. The Employer is strictly prohibited from creating an E-Verify case before the employee has been hired, meaning that a firm offer of employment was extended and accepted and Form 1-9 was completed. The Employer agrees to create an E-Verify case for new employees within three Employer business days after each employee has been hired (after both Sections 1 and 2 of Form 1-9 have been completed),and to complete as many steps of the E-Verify process as are necessary according to the E-Verify User Manual. If E-Verify is temporarily unavailable,the three-day time period will be extended until it is again operational in order to accommodate the Employer's attempting, in good faith, to make inquiries during the period of unavailability. 10. The Employer agrees not to use E-Verify for pre-employment screening of job applicants, in support of any unlawful employment practice, or for any other use that this MOU or the E-Verify User Manual does not authorize. 11.The Employer must use E-Verify for all new employees. The Employer will not verify selectively and will not verify employees hired before the effective date of this MOU. Employers who are Federal contractors may qualify for exceptions to this requirement as described in Article 11.B of this MOU. 12. The Employer agrees to follow appropriate procedures(see Article III below)regarding tentative nonconfirmations. The Employer must promptly notify employees in private of the finding and provide them with the notice and letter containing information specific to the employee's E-Verify case. The Employer agrees to provide both the English and the translated notice and letter for employees with limited English proficiency to employees. The Employer agrees to provide written referral instructions to employees and instruct affected employees to bring the English copy of the letter to the SSA. The Employer must allow employees to contest the finding, and not take adverse action against employees if they choose to contest the finding, while their case is still pending. Further,when employees contest a tentative nonconfirmation based upon a photo mismatch,the Employer must take additional steps (see Article 111.8. below)to contact DHS with information necessary to resolve the challenge. 13. The Employer agrees not to take any adverse action against an employee based upon the employee's perceived employment eligibility status while SSA or DHS is processing the verification request unless the Employer obtains knowledge(as defined in 8 C.F.R.§274a.1(I))that the employee is not work authorized. The Employer understands that an initial inability of the SSA or DHS automated verification system to verify work authorization, a tentative nonconfirmation, a case in continuance (indicating the need for additional time for the government to resolve a case), or the finding of a photo mismatch,does not establish, and should not be interpreted as, evidence that the employee is not work authorized. In any of such cases, the employee must be provided a full and fair opportunity to contest the finding, and if he or she does so, the employee may not be terminated or suffer any adverse employment consequences based upon the employee's perceived employment eligibility status Page 3 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers I Revision Date 06101/13 Company ID Number: 976491 reasonable notice, to review Forms 1-9 and other employment records and to interview it and its employees regarding the Employer's use of E-Verify, and to respond in a prompt and accurate manner to DHS requests for information relating to their participation in E-Verify. 19. The Employer shall not make any false or unauthorized claims or references about its participation in E-Verify on its website, in advertising materials,or other media. The Employer shall not describe its services as federally-approved,federally-certified, or federally-recognized,or use language with a similar intent on its website or other materials provided to the public. Entering into this MOU does not mean that E-Verify endorses or authorizes your E-Verify services and any claim to that effect is false. 20. The Employer shall not state in its website or other public documents that any language used therein has been provided or approved by DHS, USCIS or the Verification Division, without first obtaining the prior written consent of DHS. 21. The Employer agrees that E-Verify trademarks and logos may be used only under license by DHS/USCIS(see M-795(Web))and, other than pursuant to the specific terms of such license, may not be used in any manner that might imply that the Employer's services, products,websites, or publications are sponsored by, endorsed by, licensed by, or affiliated with DHS, USCIS, or E-Verify. 22. The Employer understands that if it uses E-Verify procedures for any purpose other than as authorized by this MOU,the Employer may be subject to appropriate legal action and termination of its participation in E-Verify according to this MOU. B. RESPONSIBILITIES OF FEDERAL CONTRACTORS 1. If the Employer is a Federal contractor with the FAR E-Verify clause subject to the employment verification terms in Subpart 22.18 of the FAR, it will become familiar with and comply with the most current version of the E-Verify User Manual for Federal Contractors as well as the E-Verify Supplemental Guide for Federal Contractors. 2. In addition to the responsibilities of every employer outlined in this MOU,the Employer understands that if it is a Federal contractor subject to the employment verification terms in Subpart 22.18 of the FAR it must verify the employment eligibility of any"employee assigned to the contract"(as defined in FAR 22.1801). Once an employee has been verified through E-Verify by the Employer,the Employer may not create a second case for the employee through E-Verify. a. An Employer that is not enrolled in E-Verify as a Federal contractor at the time of a contract award must enroll as a Federal contractor in the E-Verify program within 30 calendar days of contract award and, within 90 days of enrollment, begin to verify employment eligibility of new hires using E-Verify. The Employer must verify those employees who are working in the United States, whether or not they are assigned to the contract. Once the Employer begins verifying new hires, such verification of new hires must be initiated within three business days after the hire date. Once enrolled in E-Verify as a Federal contractor,the Employer must begin verification of employees assigned to the contract within 90 calendar days after the date of enrollment or within 30 days of an employee's assignment to the contract, whichever date is later. Page 5 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers l Revision Date 06/01/13 VeriI Company ID Number: 976491 - Article II.C.5, but reflects documentation(such as a U.S. passport or Form 1-551)that expired after completing Form 1-9,the Employer shall not require the production of additional documentation, or use the photo screening tool described in Article II.A.5, subject to any additional or superseding instructions that may be provided on this subject in the E-Verify User Manual. g. The Employer agrees not to require a second verification using E-Verify of any assigned employee who has previously been verified as a newly hired employee under this MOU or to authorize verification of any existing employee by any Employer that Is not a Federal contractor based on this Article. 3. The Employer understands that if it is a Federal contractor, its compliance with this MOU is a performance requirement under the terms of the Federal contract or subcontract and the Employer consents to the release of information relating to compliance with its verification responsibilities under this MOU to contracting officers or other officials authorized to review the Employer's compliance with Federal contracting requirements. C. RESPONSIBILITIES OF SSA 1. SSA agrees to allow DHS to compare data provided by the Employer against SSA's database. SSA sends OHS confirmation that the data sent either matches or does not match the information in SSA's database. 2. SSA agrees to safeguard the information the Employer provides through E-Verify procedures. SSA also agrees to limit access to such information, as is appropriate by law,to individuals responsible for the verification of Social Security numbers or responsible for evaluation of E-Verify or such other persons or entities who may be authorized by SSA as governed by the Privacy Act(5 U.S.C. § 552a), the Social Security Act(42 U.S.C. 1306(a)), and SSA regulations(20 CFR Part 401). 3. SSA agrees to provide case results from its database within three Federal Government work days of the initial inquiry. E-Verify provides the information to the Employer. 4. SSA agrees to update SSA records as necessary if the employee who contests the SSA tentative nonconfirmation visits an SSA field office and provides the required evidence. If the employee visits an SSA field office within the eight Federal Government work days from the date of referral to SSA, SSA agrees to update SSA records, if appropriate,within the eight-day period unless SSA determines that more than eight days may be necessary. In such cases, SSA will provide additional instructions to the employee. If the employee does not visit SSA in the time allowed, E-Verify may provide a final nonconfirmation to the employer. Note: If an Employer experiences technical problems, or has a policy question, the employer should contact E-Verify at 1-888-464-4218. D. RESPONSIBILITIES OF DHS 1. DHS agrees to provide the Employer with selected data from DHS databases to enable the Employer to conduct, to the extent authorized by this MOU: a. Automated verification checks on alien employees by electronic means, and Page 7 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers I Revision Date 06/01/13 EVerdy Company ID Number: 976491 case. The Employer also agrees to provide both the English and the translated notice and letter for employees with limited English proficiency to employees. The Employer agrees to provide written referral instructions to employees and instruct affected employees to bring the English copy of the letter to the SSA. The Employer must allow employees to contest the finding, and not take adverse action against employees if they choose to contest the finding,while their case is still pending. 2. The Employer agrees to obtain the employee's response about whether he or she will contest the tentative nonconfirmation as soon as possible after the Employer receives the tentative nonconfirmation. Only the employee may determine whether he or she will contest the tentative nonconfirmation. 3. After a tentative nonconfirmation, the Employer will refer employees to SSA field offices only as directed by E-Verify. The Employer must record the case verification number, review the employee information submitted to E-Verify to identify any errors, and find out whether the employee contests the tentative nonconfirmation. The Employer will transmit the Social Security number,or any other corrected employee information that SSA requests, to SSA for verification again if this review indicates a need to do so. 4. The Employer will instruct the employee to visit an SSA office within eight Federal Government work days. SSA will electronically transmit the result of the referral to the Employer within 10 Federal Government work days of the referral unless it determines that more than 10 days is necessary. 5. While waiting for case results,the Employer agrees to check the E-Verify system regularly for case updates. 6. The Employer agrees not to ask the employee to obtain a printout from the Social Security Administration number database (the Numident)or other written verification of the SSN from the SSA. B. REFERRAL TO DHS 1. If the Employer receives a tentative nonconfirmation issued by DHS, the Employer must promptly notify employees in private of the finding and provide them with the notice and letter containing information specific to the employee's E-Verify case. The Employer also agrees to provide both the English and the translated notice and letter for employees with limited English proficiency to employees. The Employer must allow employees to contest the finding, and not take adverse action against employees if they choose to contest the finding, while their case is still pending. 2. The Employer agrees to obtain the employee's response about whether he or she will contest the tentative nonconfirmation as soon as possible after the Employer receives the tentative nonconfirmation. Only the employee may determine whether he or she will contest the tentative nonconfirmation. 3. The Employer agrees to refer individuals to DHS only when the employee chooses to contest a tentative nonconfirmation. 4. If the employee contests a tentative nonconfirmation issued by DHS, the Employer will instruct the Page 9 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers I Revision Date 06/01/13 s-VeriFy ,. x , Company ID Number: 976491 B. TERMINATION 1. The Employer may terminate this MOU and its participation in E-Verify at any time upon 30 days prior written notice to the other parties. 2. Notwithstanding Article V, part A of this MOU, DHS may terminate this MOU,and thereby the Employer's participation in E-Verify,with or without notice at any time if deemed necessary because of the requirements of law or policy, or upon a determination by SSA or DHS that there has been a breach of system integrity or security by the Employer, or a failure on the part of the Employer to comply with established E-Verify procedures and/or legal requirements.The Employer understands that if it is a Federal contractor,termination of this MOU by any party for any reason may negatively affect the performance of its contractual responsibilities. Similarly,the Employer understands that if it is in a state where E-Verify is mandatory,termination of this by any party MOU may negatively affect the Employer's business. 3. An Employer that is a Federal contractor may terminate this MOU when the Federal contract that requires its participation in E-Verify is terminated or completed. In such cases, the Federal contractor must provide written notice to OHS. If an Employer that is a Federal contractor fails to provide such notice, then that Employer will remain an E-Verify participant, will remain bound by the terms of this MOU that apply to non-Federal contractor participants, and will be required to use the E-Verify procedures to verify the employment eligibility of all newly hired employees. 4.The Employer agrees that E-Verify is not liable for any losses, financial or otherwise, if the Employer is terminated from E-Verify. ARTICLE VI PARTIES A. Some or all SSA and DHS responsibilities under this MOU may be performed by contractor(s), and SSA and DHS may adjust verification responsibilities between each other as necessary. By separate agreement with DHS, SSA has agreed to perform its responsibilities as described in this MOU. B. Nothing in this MOU is intended, or should be construed, to create any right or benefit,substantive or procedural, enforceable at law by any third party against the United States, its agencies, officers, or employees, or against the Employer, its agents, officers,or employees. C.The Employer may not assign, directly or indirectly, whether by operation of law, change of control or merger, all or any part of its rights or obligations under this MOU without the prior written consent of DHS, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any attempt to sublicense, assign, or transfer any of the rights, duties, or obligations herein is void. D. Each party shall be solely responsible for defending any claim or action against it arising out of or related to E-Verify or this MOU, whether civil or criminal,and for any liability wherefrom, including (but not limited to)any dispute between the Employer and any other person or entity regarding the applicability of Section 403(d)of IIRIRA to any action taken or allegedly taken by the Employer. E. The Employer understands that its participation in E-Verify is not confidential information and may be disclosed as authorized or required by law and DHS or SSA policy, including but not limited to, Page 11 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers I Revision Date 06/01/13 i-VeriFy xr � Company ID Number: 976491 Approved by: Employer Waterfront Property Services,LLC Name(Please Type or Print) Title Christy L Vanderpool Signature Date Electronically Signed 06/02/2016 Department of Homeland Security—Verification Division Name (Please Type or Print) Title USCIS Verification Division Signature Date Electronically Signed 06/02/2016 Page 13 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers i Revision Date 06/01/13 EVenly ;to , .fr."

The outside property lines of the City's property will also be marked in the field for the Contractor's benefit. -04. EXCAVATION: All excavation is expected to be used either in constructing the containment embankment or in providing the two foot thick cap of site to be placed over the disposal area. A stockpile area for excess excavated material is shown on the plans immediately adjacent to the embankment. Should any topsoil or unsuitable material be encountered, a waste site will be identified on adjacent property within 1000 feet. Any suitable material from the excavation of the proposed bottom of the disposal site may be used for the embankment. All other excavation shall be stored in the stockpile area. -05. EMBANKMENT FILL: A, MATERIALS All fill materials shall be obtained from required excavations and approved borrow areas. The selection,blending, routing and disposition of materials in the various fills shall be subject to approval by the Engineer. Fill materials shall contain no sod,brush,roots or other perishable materials. Rock particles larger than the maximum size specified for each type of fill shall be removed prior to the compaction of the fill. The types of materials used in the various fills shall be as listed and described in the drawings. B. FOUNDATION PREPARATION: TS-2-1 Hiers Pond & Lake Aumond Sediment Dredging and Disposal Foundations for earth fill shall be stripped to remove vegetation and other unsuitable materials or shall be excavated as specified. Except as otherwise specified, earth foundation surfaces shall be graded to remove surface irregularities and shall be scarified parallel to the axis of the fill or otherwise acceptably scored and loosened to a minimum depth of 2 inches. The moisture content of the loosened material shall be controlled as specified for the earth fill,and the surface materials of the foundation shall be compacted and bonded with the first layer of earth fill as specified for subsequent layers of earth fill. Earth abutment surfaces shall be free of loose,uncompacted earth in excess of two inches in depth normal to the slope and shall be of such a moisture content that the earth fill can be compacted against them to effect a good bond between the fill and the abutments. Rock foundation and abutment surfaces shall be cleared of all loose materials by hand or other effective means and shall be free of standing water when fill is placed upon them. Foundation and abutment surfaces shall be not steeper than 1 horizontal to 1 vertical unless otherwise specified. Test pits or other cavities shall be filled with compacted earth fill conforming to the specifications for the earth fill to be placed upon the foundation. C. PLACEMENT: Fill shall not be placed until the required excavation and foundation preparation have been completed and the foundation has been inspected and approved by the Engineer. Fill shall not be placed upon a frozen surface,nor shall snow, ice,or frozen material be incorporated in the fill. Fill shall be placed in approximately horizontal layers. The thickness of each layer before compaction shall not exceed the maximum thickness specified. Materials placed by dumping in piles or windrows shall be spread uniformly to not more than the specified thickness before being compacted. Hand compacted fill, including fill compacted by manually directed power tampers, shall be placed in layers not more than 3 inches thick before compaction. Earth fill in dams, levees and other structures designed to restrain the movement of water shall be placed so as to meet the following additional requirements: 1. The distribution of materials throughout each zone shall be essentially uniform,and the fill shall be free from lenses, pockets, streaks or layers of material differing substantially in texture or gradation from the surrounding material. 2. If the surface of any layer becomes too hard and smooth for proper bond with the succeeding layer, it shall be scarified parallel to the axis of the fill to a depth of not less than 2 inches before the next layer is placed. 3. The top surfaces of embankments shall be maintained approximately level during construction except that a crown or cross-slope of not less than 2 percent shall be maintained to insure effective drainage,and except as otherwise specified for drain fill zones. If the drawings or specifications require or the Engineer directs that fill be placed at a higher level in one part of an embankment than another,the top TS-2-2 Hiers Pond & Lake Aumond Sediment Dredging and Disposal surface of each part shall be maintained as specified above. 4. Dam embankments shall be constructed in continuous layers from abutment to abutment except where openings to facilitate construction or to allow the passage of stream flow during construction are specifically authorized. 5. Embankments built at different levels as described under 3 or 4 above shall be constructed so that the slope of the bonding surfaces between embankment in place and embankment to be placed is not steeper than 3 feet horizontal to 1 foot vertical. The bonding surface of the embankment in place shall be stripped of all loose material, and shall be scarified, moistened and recompacted when the new fill is placed against it as needed to insure a good bond with the new fill and to obtain the specified moisture content and density in the junction of the in place and new fill. D. CONTROL OF MOISTURE CONTENT: During placement and compaction of fill, the moisture content of the materials being placed shall be maintained within the specified range. The application of water to the fill materials shall be accomplished at the borrow areas, insofar as practical. Water may be applied by sprinkling the materials after placement of the fill if necessary. Uniform moisture distribution shall be obtained by discing,blading or other approved methods prior to compaction of the layer. Material that is too wet when deposited on the fill shall either be removed or be dried to the specified moisture content prior to compaction. If the top surface of the preceding layer of compacted fill or foundation or abutment surface in the zone of contact with the fill becomes too dry to permit suitable bond, it shall be scarified and moistened by sprinkling to an acceptable moisture content prior to placement of the next layer of fill. E. COMPACTION: Earth fill shall be compacted according to the following requirements for the type of fill: 1. Embankment Fill. Dam embankment fill shall be placed in thin six inch layers and compacted to 95%of maximum Standard Proctor(ASTM 698) dry density at optimum moisture content to plus three percent of optimum. 2. Earth Fill for Cap. The cap for the disposal area shall be placed in nine inch layers and compacted to 90% of maximum Standard Proctor(ASTM 698)dry density. F. REMOVAL AND PLACEMENT OF DEFECTIVE FILL: Fill placed at densities lower than the specified minimum density or at moisture contents outside the specified acceptable range of moisture content or otherwise not conforming to the requirements of the specifications shall be reworked to meet the requirements or removed and replaced by acceptable fill. The replacement fill and the foundation, abutment and fill surfaces upon which it is placed shall conform to all requirements of this specification for foundation preparation, approval,placement, moisture control and compaction. TS-2-3 Hiers Pond & Lake Aumond Sediment Dredging and Disposal G. TESTING: During the course of the work,the Owner will perform such tests as are required to identify materials,to determine compaction characteristics,to determine moisture content, and to determine density of fill in place. These tests performed by the Owner will be used to verify that the fills conform to the requirements of the specifications. -06. MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT: Earth fill will be paid for at the lump sum price shown on the bid schedule. Payment under this item will constitute full compensation for all labor, materials and equipment necessary and incidental,the performance of the work involved in placing, compacting and finishing all embankments shown on the plans.

BY-PASS FLOW: No mechanical dredging will commence until the normal stream flow has been diverted and pumped as described in Section TS-3, Control of Water. -04. ACCESS: Access to get equipment into the bottom of the lake or pond shall be at the designated locations shown on the plans. Should other access points be desired, a request must be submitted to and approved by the Engineer. Any fill used for access must be removed at the completion of work and any bank damage corrected and seeded. -05. MECHANICAL OPERATIONS: The Contractor may remove material by setting equipment on the top of bank and reaching into the pond bottom. However,the many trees present on the bank of the pond makes this difficult. The Contractor shall submit a plan for undertaking such long-reach removal prior to starting any work. The Contractor can take equipment such as backhoes,bulldozers, etc. into the bed of the pond or lake at designated locations to collect the silt and sediment by mechanical excavation methods. The removed material is to be loaded directly into sealed dump trucks and transported to the designated disposal site. Double handing, or the placement of the dredged material into a temporary staging area, is prohibited. -06.

The Contractor shall, at the Owner's request, furnish satisfactory evidence that all obligations of the nature designated above have been paid, discharged, or waived. If the Contractor fails to do so, the Owner may, after having notified the Contractor, either pay unpaid bills or withhold from the Contractor's unpaid compensation a sum of money deemed reasonably sufficient to pay any and all such lawful claims until satisfactory evidence is furnished that all liabilities have been fully discharged whereupon payment to the Contractor shall be resumed, in accordance with the terms of the Contract Documents, but in no event shall the provisions of this sentence be construed to impose any obligations upon the Owner to either the Contractor, his Surety, or any third party. In paying any unpaid bills of the Contractor, any payment so made by the Owner shall be considered as a payment made under the Contract Documents by the Owner to the Contractor and the Owner shall not be liable to the Contractor for any such payments made in good faith. 5. Owner shall release half of the "10 percent retained" amount at start of required 18month warranty period. 50 percent of the remaining retained amount shall be released after six (6) moths into required warranty period provided no defects are observed in originally accepted work. The remaining retained balance shall be released at successful completion of the required warranty period as certified by the Engineer. All payment requests shall be approved by the Engineer prior to forwarding to the Owner. 6. If the Owner fails to make payment 45 days after approval by the Engineer, in addition to other remedies available to the Contractor, there shall be added to each such Page 23 of 39 Hiers Pond & Lake Aumond Sediment Dredging and Disposal payment, interest at the maximum legal rate commencing on the first day after said payment is due and continuing until the payment is received by the Contractor.

For typical roadway type projects new street lighting is not considered a safety feature unless specifically noted in the plans or in the special conditions. F. MAINTENANCE OF TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES Traffic control devices shall be in acceptable condition when first erected on the project and shall be maintained in accordance with Subsection 104.05 throughout the construction period. All unacceptable traffic control devices shall be replaced within 24 hours. When not in use, all traffic control devices shall be removed, placed or covered so as not to be visible to traffic. All construction warning signs shall be removed within seven calendar days after time charges are stopped or pay items are complete. If traffic control devices are left in place for more than ten days after completion of the Work, the Department shall have the right to remove such devices, claim possession thereof, and deduct the cost of such removal from any monies due, or which may become due, the Contractor. G. TRAFFIC INTERRUPTION RESTRICTIONS The Department reserves the right to restrict construction operations when, in the opinion of the Engineer, the continuance of the Work would seriously hinder traffic flow, be needlessly disruptive or unnecessarily inconvenience the traveling public. The Contractor shall suspend and/or reschedule any work when the Engineer deems that conditions are unfavorable for continuing the Work. 4 Advanced notification requirements to the Contractor to suspend work will be according to the events and the time restrictions outlined below: Incident management No advanced notice required Threatening/Inclement weather 24 hours Holidays. sporting events, Three (3)calendar days unfavorable conditions If the work is suspended, the Contractor may submit a request for additional contract time as allowed under Section 108. The Department will review the request and may grant additional contract time as justified by the impact to the Contractor's schedule. Compensation for loss of productivity, rescheduling of crews, rental of equipment or delays to the Contractor's schedule will not be considered for payment. Additional contract time will be the only consideration granted to the Contractor. H. SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS Any Sequence of Operations provided in this Contract in conjunction with any staging details which may be shown in the plans, is a suggested sequence for performing the Work. It is intended as a general staging plan for the orderly execution of the work while minimizing the impact on pedestrian facilities, mainline, cross-streets and side streets. The Contractor shall develop detailed staging and temporary traffic control plans for performing specific areas of the Work including but not limited to all traffic shifts, detours, bridge widenings, paces, or other activities that disrupt traffic or pedestrian flow. The Engineer may require detailed staging and TIC plans for lane closures or disruption to pedestrian facilities. These plans shall be submitted for approval at least two weeks prior to the scheduled date of the activity. Activities that have not been approved at least seven (7) days prior to the scheduled date shall be rescheduled. Where traffic is permitted through the work area under stage construction, the Contractor may choose to construct, at no additional expense to the Department, temporary on-site bypasses or detours in order to expedite the work. Plans for such temporary bypasses or detours shall be submitted to the Engineer for review and approval 30 calendar days prior to the proposed construction. Such bypasses or detours shall be removed promptly when in the opinion of the Engineer; they are no longer necessary for the satisfactory progress of the Work. Bypasses and detours shall meet the minimum requirements of Subsection 150.02.6.4. As an option to the Sequence of Operations in the Contract, the Contractor may submit an alternative Sequence of Operations for review and approval. Alternate Sequence of Operations for pedestrian facilities shall be in compliance with the MUTCD and ADA. Pedestrian needs identified in the preconstruction phase shall be included in the proposed alternate plan. The Department may consider the Contractor's alternate Sequence of Operations as a Value Engineering Proposal as defined by Subsection 104.08. A twenty calendar days lead time for the Department's review shall be given to this submission so that a decision on its acceptability can be made and presented at the Preconstruction Conference. Insufficient lead time or no submission by the Contractor shall be construed 5 as acceptance of the Sequence of Operations outlined in the Contract and the willingness of the Contractor to execute this as-bid plan. The Department will not pay, or in any way reimburse the Contractor for claims arising from the Contractor's inability to perform the Work in accordance with the Sequence of Operations provided in the Contract or from an approved Contractor alternate. The Contractor shall secure the Engineer's approval of the Contractor's proposed plan of operation, sequence of work and methods of providing for the safe passage of vehicular and pedestrian traffic before it is placed in operation. The proposed plan of operation shall supplement the approved traffic control plan. Any major changes to the approved TTC plan, proposed by the Contractor, shall be submitted to the Department for approval. Some additional traffic control details will be required prior to any major shifts or changes in traffic. The traffic control details shall include, but not be limited to, the following: 1. A detailed drawing showing traffic locations and laneage for each step of the change. 2. The location, size, and message of all signs required by the MUTCD, Plan, Special Provisions, and other signs as required to fit conditions. Any portable changeable message signs used shall be included in the details. 3. The method to be used in, and the limits of, the obliteration of conflicting lines and markings. 4. Type, location, and extent of new lines and markings. 5. Horizontal and vertical alignment and superelevation rates for detours, including cross- section and profile grades along each edge of existing pavement. 6. Drainage details for temporary and permanent alignments. 7. Location, length, and/or spacing of channelization and protective devices (temporary barrier, guardrail, barricades, etc.) 8. Starting time, duration and date of planned change. 9. For each traffic shift, a paving plan, erection plan, or work site plan, as appropriate, detailing workforce, materials, and equipment necessary to accomplish the proposed work. This will be the minimum resource allocation required in order to start the work. A minimum of three copies of the above details shall be submitted to the Engineer for approval at least 14 days prior to the anticipated traffic shift. The Contractor shall have traffic control details for a traffic shift which has been approved by the Engineer prior to commencement of the physical shift. All preparatory work relative to the traffic shift, which does not interfere with traffic, shall be accomplished prior to the designated starting time. The Engineer and the Contractor's representative will verify that all conditions have been met prior to the Contractor obtaining materials for the actual traffic shift. 6 150.2 TEMPORARY TRAFFIC CONTROL(TFC)ZONES: A. DEVICES AND MATERIALS: In addition to the other provisions contained herein, work zone traffic control shall be accomplished using the following means and materials: 1. Portable Advance Warning Signs Portable advance warning signs shall be utilized as per the requirements of the temporary traffic control plans. All signs shall meet the requirements of the MUTCD and shall be NCHRP 350 crashworthy compliant. 2. Arrow Panels Portable sequential or flashing arrow panels as shown in the Plans or Specifications for use on Interstate or multi-lane highway lane closure only, shall be a minimum size of 48" high by 96"wide with not less than 15 lamps used for the arrow. The arrow shall occupy virtually the entire size of the arrow panel and shall have a minimum legibility distance of one mile. The minimum legibility distance is that distance at which the arrow panel can be comprehended by an observer on a sunny day, or clear night. Arrow panels shall be equipped with automatic dimming features for use during hours of darkness. The arrow panels shall also meet the requirements for a Type C panel as shown in the MUTCD. The sequential or flashing arrow panels shall not be used for lane closure on two-lane, two-way highways when traffic is restricted to one-lane operations in which case, appropriate signing, flaggers and when required, pilot vehicles will be deemed sufficient. The sequential or flashing arrow panels shall be placed on the shoulder at or near the point where the lane closing transition begins. The panels shall be mounted on a vehicle, trailer, or other suitable support. Vehicle mounted panels shall be provided with remote controls. Minimum mounting height shall be seven feet above the roadway to the bottom of the panel, except on vehicle mounted panels which should be as high as practical. For emergency situations, arrow display panels that meet the MUTCD requirements for Type A or Type B panels may be used until Type C panels can be located and placed at the site. The use of Type A and Type B panels shall be held to the minimum length of time possible before having the Type C panel(s) in operation. The Engineer shall determine when conditions and circumstances are considered to be emergencies. The Contractor shall notify the Engineer, in writing, when any non-specification arrow display panel(s) is being used in the work. 3. Portable Changeable Message Signs Portable changeable message signs meeting the requirements of Section 632 and the MUTCD. Any PCMS in use that is not protected by positive barrier protection shall be delineated by a minimum of three drums that meet the requirement of Section 150.05. A.1. The drum spacing shall not exceed a maximum of ten (10') feet as shown in Detail 150-PCMS. When the PCMS is within twenty (20') feet of the opposing traffic flow, the trailing end of the PCMS shall be delineated with a minimum of three drums spaced in the same manner as the approach side of the PCMS. 7 TRAFFIC Ulf-ft' _ 11111(1521N1 1 i; m•—teiggiBilltn QE.TAIL 155 feilli When not in use the PCMS shall be removed from the roadway unless protected by positive barrier protection. If the PCMS is protected by positive barrier protection the sign panel shall be turned away from traffic when not in use. 4. Channelization Devices Channelization devices shall meet the standards of the MUTCD and Subsection 150.05. 5. Temporary Barrier Temporary barrier shall meet the requirements of Section 622. 6. Temporary Traffic Signals Temporary traffic signals shall meet the requirements of Section 647 and the MUTCD. 7. Pavement Marking Pavement marking incorporated into the work shall comply with Subsections 150.04.A and 150.04.B. 8. Portable Temporary Traffic Control Signals The use of Portable Temporary Traffic Control Signals shall meet the following minimum requirements: Only two-lane two-way roadways will be allowed to utilize Portable Temporary Traffic Control Signals. All portable traffic control signals shall meet the physical display and operational requirements of conventional traffic signals described in the MUTCD. Each signal face shall have at least three lenses. The lenses shall be red, yellow, or green in color and shall give a circular type of indication. All lenses shall be twelve (12") inches nominal in diameter. 8 A minimum of two signal faces shall face each direction of traffic. A minimum of one signal head shall be suspended over the roadway travel lane in a manner that will allow the bottom of the signal head housing to be not less than seventeen (17') feet above and not more than nineteen (19') feet above the pavement grade at the center of the travel lane. The second signal head may be located over the travel lane with the same height requirements or the second signal head may be located on the shoulder. When the signal head is located on the shoulder the bottom of the signal head housing shall be at least eight (8') feet but not more than (15') feet above the pavement grade at the center of highway. Advance warning signage and appropriate pavement markings shall be installed as part of the temporary signal operation. The signals shall be operated in a manner consistent with traffic requirements. The signals may be operated in timed-mode or in a vehicle-actuated mode. The signals shall be interconnected in a manner to ensure that conflicting movements cannot occur. To assure that the appropriate operating pattern including timing is displayed to the traveling public, regular inspections including the use of accurate timing devices shall be made by the Worksite Traffic Control Supervisor. If at any time any part of the system fails to operate within these requirements then the use of the signal shall be suspended and the appropriate flagging operation shall begin immediately. The Worksite Traffic Control Supervisor(WTCS) shall continuously monitor the portable traffic control signal to insure compliance with the requirements for maintenance under the MUTCD. The signal shall be maintained in a manner consistent with the intention of the MUTCD, with emphasis on cleaning of the optical system. Timing changes shall be made only by the WTCS. The WTCS shall keep a written record of all timing changes. The portable temporary signal shall have two power sources and shall be capable of running for seven calendar days continuously. The Contractor shall have an alternate temporary traffic control plan in the event of failure of the signal. 9. RUMBLE STRIPS Rumble strips incorporated into the work shall meet the requirements of Section 429 and the MUTCD. Existing rumble strips that are positioned in the traveled way to warn traffic of a stop condition shall be reinstalled based on the following requirements: INTERMEDIATE SURFACES: Intermediate surfaces that will be in use for more than forty-five (45) calendar days shall have rumble strips reinstalled on the traveled way in the area of a stop condition. Non-refundable deductions in accordance with Subsection 150.08 will be assessed for any intermediate surface in place for greater than 45 days without rumble strips. FINAL SURFACES: Rumble strips shall be installed on the final surface within fourteen (14) calendar days of the placement of the final surface in the area of the stop condition. Failure to install within fourteen (14) calendar days will result in assessment of non-refundable deductions in accordance with Subsection 150.08. 9 Prior to the removal of any rumble strips located in the travelway, stop ahead (W3-1a) warning signs shall be double indicated ahead of the stop condition. These warning signs shall be a minimum of 48 inches by 48 inches. The reflectorization of the warning signs shall be as required by Subsection 150.01.D. These warning signs shall remain in place until the rumble strips have been reinstalled on the traveled way. Any existing warning signs for the stop ahead condition shall be removed or covered while the 48"X 48"(W3-1a) signs are in place. When the rumble strips have been reinstalled these warning signs should be promptly removed and any existing signage placed back in service. 10. GUARDRAIL: When the removal and installation of guardrail is required as a part of the work the following time restrictions shall apply unless modified by the special conditions: MULTI-LANE HIGHWAYS: From the time that the existing guardrail or temporary positive barrier protection is removed the Contractor has fourteen (14) calendar days to install the new guardrail and anchors. During the interim, the location without guardrail shall be protected with drums spaced at a maximum spacing of twenty (20') feet. The maximum length of rail that can be removed at any time without being replaced with positive barrier protection is a total of 2000 linear feet of existing rail or the total length of one run of existing rail, whichever is less. ALL OTHER HIGHWAYS: From the time that the existing guardrail is removed or from the time that temporary positive barrier protection is removed the Contractor has thirty (30) calendar days to install the new guardrail and anchors. During the interim, the location without guardrail shall be protected with drums spaced at a maximum spacing of twenty (20') feet. The maximum length of rail that can be removed at any time without being replaced with positive barrier protection is a total of 1000 linear feet of existing rail or the total length of one run of existing rail, whichever is less. Based on existing field conditions, the Engineer may review the work and require that the guardrail be installed earlier than the maximum time allowed above by giving written notification to the Contractor via the TC-1 traffic control report. ALL HIGHWAYS: The contractor shall install new guardrail such that traffic exposure to fixed objects is minimized. Within the same work day, temporary attenuators, as defined in Subsection 150.05.B, should be installed on the approach to fixed objects that can't be protected with guardrail. Truck mounted attenuators may be used to shield exposed fixed objects for periods not to exceed forty-eight (48) hours. No separate payment will be made for truck mounted attenuators. When the roadway is open to traffic, guardrail panels shall be lapped to comply with the directional flow of traffic. Should the staging of the work require that the lap of the guardrail be changed, this work shall be completed before the roadway is opened to traffic. The work to change the lap of any guardrail shall be included in Traffic Control- Lump Sum. Failure to comply with the above time and quantity restrictions shall be considered as non-compliance under Subsection 150.08. 10 11. STOP SIGN REGULATED INTERSECTIONS: For intersections that utilize stop sign(s) to control the flow of traffic and to restrict the movement of vehicles, the stop sign(s) shall be maintained for the duration of the work or until such time that the stop condition is eliminated or until an interim or permanent traffic signal can be installed to provide proper traffic control. The traffic signal shall be installed and properly functioning before the removal of the existing stop sign(s) is permitted. If the existing intersection is enhanced traffic control features such as stop bars, double indicated stop signs, oversized signs, advanced warning stop ahead signs, rumble strips on the approaches or flashing beacons located overhead or on the shoulders then these features shall be maintained for the duration of the project or until the permanent traffic control plan has been implemented. Whenever the staging of the work requires that the traveled-way be relocated or realigned the Contractor shall reinstall all enhanced traffic control features noted above on the newly constructed sections of the work. The cost of relocating the stop bars, stop signs, advanced warning signs, the rumble strips and the flashing beacons shall be included in the price bid for Lump-Sum-Traffic Control unless individual pay items are included in the contract for rumble strips and/or flashing beacons. When pay items are included in the contract for rumble strips or flashing beacons then these items will be paid per each. When staging requires the relocation or realignment of an existing stop condition it may be necessary to consider the addition of enhanced traffic control features even though none existed at the original location. Horizontal and vertical alignment changes at a new location may have decreased or restricted sight distance or the stop condition may occur sooner than in the previous alignment. If these conditions occur then the Engineer and/or the WTCS should consider additional measures to enhance the motorist's awareness of the changes even though the staging plans may not address enhanced features. Stop signs should be a minimum of 36 inches for interim situations. The u s e of 48 inch stop signs may be warranted under project specific conditions. Flags may be used on interim/permanent stop signs that are mounted at seven (7') feet in height for a short duration in order to direct additional attention to a new or relocated stop sign(s). Flags should not be used for durations exceeding two weeks unless unusual or site specify conditions warrant a longer period of time. The use of Type "A" flashing red light(s) attached to the stop sign(s) may be appropriate during the same period that the flags are in use to increase attention. The use of rumble strips and/or portable changeable message signs may be considered. The use of new rumble strips, where none previously existed, shall have the prior approval of District Traffic Operations before being included as part of the temporary traffic control plan. The message(s) displayed on any PCMS shall have the prior approval of the Engineer and the message(s) shall be included as part of the TTC plan for the interim staging. The placement of any additional interim ground-mounted signs and posts or stop bars shall be considered as incidental to the price bid for Lump Sum-Traffic Control. The installation of rumble strips, flashing beacons or the use of Portable Changeable Message Signs (PCMS) shall be considered as Extra Work unless pay items are included in the contract. 11 B. WORK ZONE RESTRICTIONS: 1. Interstate The Contractor shall not simultaneously perform work on both the inside shoulder and outside shoulder on either direction of traffic flow when the Work is within 12 feet of the travel-way, unless such areas are separated by at least one-half mile of distance. 2. Non-Interstate Divided Highways The Contractor shall not simultaneously perform work on both the inside shoulder and outside shoulder on either direction of traffic flow when the Work is within 12 feet of the travel-way, unless such areas are separated by at least one-half mile distance in rural areas or at least 500 feet of distance in urban areas. 3. Non-Divided Highways a. The Contractor shall not simultaneously perform work on opposite sides of the roadway when the work is within 12 feet of the travel-way, unless such areas are separated by at least one-half mile of distance in rural areas or at least 500 feet of distance in urban areas. b. On two-lane projects where full width sections of the existing subgrade, base or surfacing are to be removed, and new base, subgrade, or surfacing are to be constructed, the Contractor shall maintain one-lane traffic through the construction area by removing and replacing the undesirable material for half the width of the existing roadway at a time. Replacement shall be made such that paving is completed to the level of the existing pavement in the adjacent lane by the end of the workday or before opening all the roadway to traffic. 4. All Highways: a. There shall be no reduction in the total number of available traffic lanes that existed prior to construction except as specifically allowed by the Contract and as approved by the Engineer. b. Travelway Clearances: All portions of the work shall maintain the following minimum requirements: Horizontal: The combined dimensions of the paved shoulder and the roadway surface remaining outside the Work Zone shall be no less than sixteen (16) feet in width at any location. Vertical: The overhead clearance shall not be reduced to less than fifteen (15) feet at any location. The restrictions above apply to all shifts, lane closures, on-site detours and off site detours whether shown in the contract or proposed by the Contractor. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to verify that these minimum requirements have been met before proceeding with any phase of the Work. 12 Two-lane two-way roadways may have temporary horizontal restrictions of less than sixteen (16) feet provided a flagger operation for one-way traffic is utilized to restrict access to the work area by over-width loads. The minimum horizontal clearance shall be restored before the flagging operation is removed. c. Highway Work Zone: All sections or segments of the roadway under construction or reconstruction shall be signed as a Highway Work Zone except non-state highway two-lane two-way resurfacing projects. Two conditions can be applied to a Highway Work Zone. Condition 1 is when no reduction in the existing speed limit is required. Condition 2 is when worksite conditions require a reduction of the speed limit through the designated Work Zone. Properly marking a Highway Work Zone shall include the following minimum requirements: 1. NO REDUCTION IN THE EXISTING POSTED SPEED LIMIT IN HIGHWAY WORK ZONE: a) Signage (Detail 150-HWZ-1) shall be posted at the beginning point of the Highway Work Zone warning the traveling public that increased penalties for speeding violations are in effect. The HWZ-2 sign shall be placed a minimum of six hundred (600') feet in advance of the Highway Work Zone and shall not be placed more than one thousand (1000') feet in advance of the Work Zone. If no speed reduction is required it is recommended that the HWZ-2 be placed at 750 feet from the work area between the ROAD WORK 500 FT. and the ROAD WORK 1000 FT.signs. HWZ-2 signs shall be placed at intervals not to exceed one mile for the length of the project. HWZ-2 signs should be placed on the mainline after all major intersections except State Routes. State Routes shall be signed as per the requirements for intersecting roadways below. b) The existing speed limit shall be posted at the beginning of the Work Zone. Existing Speed Limit signs(R2-1) shall be maintained. c) INTERSECTING ROADWAYS: Intersecting state routes shall be signed in advance of each intersection with the Work Zone with a HWZ-2 sign to warn motorists that increased fines are in effect. All other intersecting roadways that enter into a designated Highway Work Zone may be signed in advance of each intersection with the Work Zone. When construction equipment and personnel are present in the intersection on the mainline of a multi-lane roadway, the intersecting side roads shall be signed in advance with HWZ-2 signs. As soon as the work operation clears the intersection the signage may be removed. d) Sign HWZ-3 shall be posted at the end of the Highway Work Zone indicating the end of the zone and indicating that increased penalties for speeding violations are no longer in effect. e) When a designated Highway Work Zone is no longer necessary all signs shall be removed immediately. 13 2. REDUCING THE SPEED LIMIT IN A HIGHWAY WORK ZONE: Highway Work Zone signs shall be posted as required in Condition 1 above. For limited access (interstate) highways and controlled access multi-lane divided highways the posted speed limit shall be reduced as required below. Speed Limit signage (R2-1) for the reduced speed limit shall be erected at the beginning of the work zone. Additional signs shall be placed to ensure that the maximum spacing of the reduced speed limit signs shall be no greater than one (1) mile apart. Existing speed limit signs shall be covered or removed. On multi-lane divided highways the speed limit signs shall be double indicated when the reduced speed is in use. When any one or more of the following conditions exist and the existing speed limit is 65 mph or 70 mph, the speed limit shall be reduced by 10 mph. If the existing speed limit is 60 mph, the speed limit should be reduced by 5 mph. If the existing speed limit is 55 mph or less, the Contractor can only reduce the speed limit with the prior approval of the Engineer. The reduction in the speed limit shall be no greater than 10 mph: a) Lane closure(s) of any type and any duration. b) The difference in elevation exceeds two inches adjacent to a travel lane as shown in Subsection 150.06, Detail 150-B, Detail 150-C. c) Any areas where equipment or workers are within ten feet of a travel lane. d) Temporary portable concrete barriers located less than two (2') feet from the traveled way. e) As directed by the Engineer for conditions distinctive to this project. When the above conditions are not present the speed limit shall be immediately returned to the existing posted speed limit. A speed reduction shall not be put in place for the entire length of the project unless conditions warranting the speed reduction are present for the entire project length. All existing speed limit signs within the temporary speed reduction zone shall be covered or removed while the temporary reduction in the speed limit is in effect. All signs shall be erected to comply with the minimum requirements of the MUTCD. As a minimum the following records shall be kept by the WTCS: a) Identify the need for the reduction. b) Record the time of the installation and removal of the temporary reduction. c) Fully describe the location and limits of the reduced speed zone. d) Document any accident that occurs during the time of the reduction. A copy of the weekly records for reduced speed zones shall be submitted to the Engineer. Reduced speed zones shall, as a minimum, be signed as per Detail 150-HWZ-1. Interim signs shall meet the requirements of Subsection150.03 D. Additional signs may be necessary to adjust for actual field conditions. 14 When a pilot vehicle is used on a two-lane two-way roadway the speed limit should not be reduced. For special conditions specific to the work, on two-lane two-way roadways or multi-lane highways, the contractor may reduce the posted speed limit with the prior approval of the Engineer. 5. MILLED SURFACE RESTRICTIONS: Unless modified by the special conditions, a milled surface on any asphaltic concrete surface shall not be allowed to remain open to traffic for a period of time that exceeds thirty(30) calendar days. 6. INSTALLATION/REMOVAL OF WORK AREA SIGNAGE: No payment will be made for Traffic Control-Lump Sum until the Work has actually started on the project. The installation of traffic control signage does not qualify as the start of work. Advanced warning signs shall not be installed until the actual beginning of work activities. Any permanent mount height signs installed as the work is preparing to start shall be covered until all signs are installed unless all signs are installed within seven (7)calendar days after beginning installation. All temporary traffic control devices shall be removed as soon as practical when these devices are no longer needed. When work is suspended for short periods of time, temporary traffic control devices that are no longer appropriate shall be removed or covered. All construction warning signs shall be removed within seven (7) calendar days after time charges are stopped or pay items are complete. If traffic control devices are left in place for more than ten (10) calendar days after completion of the Work, the Department shall have the right to remove such devices, claim possession thereof, and deduct the cost of such removal from any monies due, or which may become due, the Contractor. PUNCHLIST WORK: Portable signs shall be utilized to accomplish the completion of all punchlist items. The portable signs shall be removed daily. All permanent mount height signs shall be removed prior to the beginning of the punchlist work except "Low/Soft Shoulder" signs and any signs that have the prior written approval of the Engineer to remain in place while the punchlist work is in progress. Failure to promptly remove the construction warning signs within the seven (7) calendar days after the completion of the Work or failure to remove or cover signs when work is suspended for short periods of time shall be considered as non- performance under Subsection 150.08. 15 0 z i W F NF 0 Z f tom z~ CUig; ~ W V~1Z 1-2 C � % a a* I WZ 1- oW X xJ1-7N•-• 1-8" W Z z a Wo 1C-owl- JtiJe� IL '�>t6 1 REM; Cl-pp� �o )-40 OCKOaW �20� ZW LLQ 7M UJ 1NO,UNC 0�Zl� OU • ...wp_ m O I UNC CW277z 0 0 7 i totnZ— J W W t` t0 I-CO OeWy lit I y --i x 1� Q JW O>21- I _OJ Imo 7F x V<� No-C3 J wV)D 1 ZI, c0 x2 SWS QC7� O I 3� USW _Nswwz Q N?N 11) I =tn Jy �Foun�1 w Z I o JS N O 3N0 1. 0 � w Ix LU >- V!J �to 3C) — Z \� 1 II w LU Z CI O J CC J OwJ N i< Li_0= Y v1> Z>20 0 I O ~0 OOtn 0- Jiex Q W Vw2 y�� wW z =Z0 10 I el4 N-v, 1 u wJ� I v► J * �coo'II W W w I— F— yE1 1. ni cc .. _J 0 CSO x Wo 0 I i • mO ~ 2 _IQV 0 l-•0 itx71 ) Z 03345 NI03B W ( i •3 x �w I � �� z 10 Z2 CL H w v tn4 i 3'4' MARGIN 4„ 11/4" BORDER 141•1 40" / 3" RADIUS L 511 ?k9 20H 6" 6" SER. 8" h' 32" _ f8" 4" 11,4" BAR SPEED _ � 6„ 6" SER.

Approval/Restrictions All lane closures of any type or duration shall have the prior approval of the Engineer. a. The length of a lane closure shall not exceed two (2) miles in length excluding the length of the tapers unless the prior approval of the Engineer has been obtained. The Engineer may extend the length of a lane closure based upon field conditions however the length of a workzone should be held to the minimum length required to accomplish the Work. Lane closures shall not be spaced closer than one mile. The advanced warning signs for the project should not overlap with the advanced warning signs for lane shifts, lane closures, etc. b. Lane closures that require same direction traffic to be split around the Work Area will not be approved for roadways with posted speeds of 35 mph or greater, excluding turn lanes. c. For Interstate, Limited Access and Multi-Lane Divided Highways, a Portable Changeable Message Sign (PCMS) shall be placed one (1) mile in advance of a lane closure with a message denoting the appropriate lane closure one mile ahead. The Portable Changeable Message Sign (PCMS) shall be placed on the outside shoulder in accordance with Detail 150-PCMS. This is in addition to the other traffic control devices required by Standard 9106. 2. Removal Of Lane Closures To provide the greatest possible convenience to the public in accordance with Subsection 107.07, the Contractor shall remove all signs, lane closure markings, and devices immediately when lane closure work is completed or temporarily suspended for any length of time or as directed by the Engineer. All portable signs and portable sign mounting devices shall be removed from the roadway to an area which will not allow the sign to be visible and will not allow the sign or sign mounting device to be impacted by traffic. 3. Exit And Entrance Ramps On multilane highways where traffic has been shifted to the inside lanes, the exit and entrance ramps shall have channelization devices placed on both sides of the ramp. This requirement will apply to any situation where traffic is shifted to contra flows or inside staging lanes to facilitate reconstruction work in the vicinity of exit and entrance ramps. The temporary ramp taper length shall be greater than, or equal to, the existing taper length. Interim EXIT gore signs shall be placed at the ramp divergence. The "EXIT OPEN" sign shown in Figure TA-42 of the MUTCD shall be utilized.

Lane Drop/Lane Closure The first seven (7) calendar days of any lane closure shall be signed and marked as per Standard 9106 or 9107. However, lane closures that exist for a duration longer than seven (7) calendar days may be signed and marked as per the details in Standard 9121, provided the prior approval of the Engineer is obtained. The approved lane drop 19 shall utilize only the signs and markings shown for the termination end of the lane drop in Standard 9121. All warning signs in the lane drop sequence shall be used. Drums may be substituted for the Type I Crystal Delineators at the same spacing. 5. Termination Area The transition to normal or full width highway at the end of a lane closure shall be a maximum of 150 feet. D. TRAFFIC PACING METHOD: 1. Pacing Of Traffic With prior approval from the Engineer, traffic may be paced allowing the Contractor up to ten (10) minutes maximum to work in or above all lanes of traffic for the following purposes: a. Placing bridge members or other bridge work. b. Placing overhead sign structures. c. Other work items requiring interruption of traffic. The Contractor shall provide a uniformed police officer with patrol vehicle and blue flashing light for each direction of pacing. The police officer, Engineer, and flaggers at ramps shall be provided with a radio which will provide continuous contact with the Contractor. When ready to start the work activity, the police vehicle will act as a pilot vehicle slowing the traffic thereby providing a gap in traffic allowing the Contractor to perform the Work. Any on-ramps between the pace and the work area shall be blocked during pacing of traffic, with a flagger properly dressed and equipped with a Stop/Slow paddle. Each ramp should be opened after the police vehicle has passed. Pilot vehicles shall travel at a safe pace speed, desirably not less than 20 mph interstate and 10 mph non-interstate. The Contractor shall provide a vehicle to proceed in front of the police vehicle and behind the other traffic in order to inform the Contractor's work force when all vehicles have cleared the area. Traffic will not be permitted to stop during pacing except in extreme cases as approved by the Engineer. 2. Methods Of Signing For Traffic Pacing At a point not less than 1,000 feet in advance of the beginning point of the pace, the Contractor shall erect and cover a W-special sign (72 inch x 72 inch) with a Type "B" flashing light, with the legend "TRAFFIC SLOWED AHEAD SHORT DELAY" (See Detail 150-A). A portable changeable message sign may be used in lieu of the W-special sign. On divided highways this sign shall be double indicated. A worker with a two- way radio shall be posted at the sign, and upon notice that the traffic is to be paced shall turn on the flashing light and reveal the sign. When traffic is not being paced,the flashing light shall be turned off and the sign covered or removed. W-special signs are reflectorized black on orange, Series"C"letter and border of the size specified. 20 TYPE 1' FLASHING L ICHT 1111 TRAFFIC S1OE 1• WRCII 11,6'!ORDER 3' RADIUS 4/0"1---". . 113" Fli 11.5* e' 6. 1Y S' 17•SER.

CONSTRUCTION VEHICLE TRAFFIC The Contractor's vehicles shall travel in the direction of normal roadway traffic and shall not reverse direction except at intersections, interchanges, or approved temporary crossings. The Contractor may submit a plan requesting that construction traffic be allowed to travel in the opposite direction of normal traffic when it would be desirable to modify traffic patterns to accommodate specific construction activities. Prior approval of the Engineer shall be obtained before any construction traffic is allowed to travel in a reverse direction. If the Contractor's submittal is approved the construction traffic shall be separated from normal traffic by appropriate traffic control devices. F. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS TO THE TEMPORARY TRAFFIC CONTROL (TIC) PLAN The Contractor shall ensure that dust, mud, and other debris from construction activities do not interfere with normal traffic operations or adjacent properties. All outfall ditches, special ditches, critical storm drain structures, erosion control structures, retention basins, etc. shall be constructed, where possible, prior to the beginning of grading operations so that the best possible drainage and erosion control will be in effect during the grading operations, thereby keeping the roadway areas as dry as possible. Areas within the limits of the project which are determined by the Engineer to be disturbed or damaged due either directly or indirectly from the progress or the lack of progress of the work shall be cleaned up, redressed, and regrassed. All surplus materials shall be removed and disposed of as required. Surplus materials shall be disposed of in accordance with Section 201 of the Specifications. G. EXISTING STREET LIGHTS Existing street lighting shall remain lighted as long as practical and until removal is approved by the Engineer. H. NIGHTWORK Adequate temporary lighting shall be provided at all nighttime work sites where workers will be immediately adjacent to traffic. I. CONSTRUCTION VEHICLES IN THE WORKZONE The parking of Contractor's and/or workers personal vehicles within the work area or adjacent to traffic is prohibited. It shall be the responsibility of the Worksite Traffic Control Supervisor to ensure that any vehicle present at the worksite is necessary for the completion of the work. 22 J. ENCROACHMENTS ON THE TRAVELED-WAY The Worksite Traffic Control Supervisor (WTCS) shall monitor the work to ensure that all the rocks, boulders, construction debris, stockpiled materials, equipment, tools and other potential hazards are kept clear of the travelway. These items shall be stored in a location, in so far as practical, where they will not be subject to a vehicle running off the road and striking them. K. PEDESTRIAN CONSIDERATIONS All existing pedestrian facilities, including access to transit stops, shall be maintained. Where pedestrian routes are closed, alternate routes shall be provided. Closures of existing, interim and final pedestrian facilities shall have the prior written approval of the Engineer. When existing pedestrian facilities are disrupted, closed or relocated in a TIC zone, the temporary facilities shall be detectable and shall include accessibility features consistent with the features present in the existing pedestrian facility. Pedestrian facilities are considered improvements and provisions made to accommodate or encourage walking. Whenever a sidewalk is to be closed, the Engineer shall notify the maintaining agency two (2) weeks prior to the closure. Prior to closure, detectable barriers (that are detectable by a person with a visual disability traveling with the aid of a long cane), as described by the MUTCD, shall be placed across the full width of the closed sidewalk. Barriers and channelizing devices used along a temporary pedestrian route shall be in compliance with the MUTCD. Temporary Traffic Control devices used to delineate a Temporary Traffic Control zone pedestrian walkway shall be in compliance with Subsection 150.01.E. Temporary Traffic Control devices and construction material shall not intrude into the usable width of the pedestrian walkway. Signs and other devices shall be placed such that they do not narrow or restrict any pedestrian passage to less than 48 inches. A pedestrian walkway shall not be severed or relocated for non-construction activities such as parking for construction vehicles and equipment. Movement by construction vehicles and equipment across designated pedestrian walkways should be minimized. When necessary, construction activities shall be controlled by flaggers. Pedestrian walkways shall be kept free of mud, loose gravel or other debris. When temporary covered walkways are used, they shall be lighted during nighttime hours. When temporary traffic barrier is used to separate pedestrian and vehicular traffic, the temporary barrier shall meet NCHRP-350 Test Level Three. The barrier ends shall be protected in accordance with Georgia Standard 4960. Curbing shall not be used as a substitute for temporary traffic barriers when temporary traffic barriers are required. Tape, rope or plastic chain strung between temporary traffic control devices are not considered as detectable and shall not be used as a control for pedestrian movements. The WTCS shall inspect the activity area daily to ensure that effective pedestrian TTC is being maintained. The inspection of TTC for pedestrian traffic shall be included as part of the TC-1 report. 23 1. Temporary Pedestrian Facilities Temporary pedestrian facilities shall be detectable and include accessibility features consistent with the features present in the existing pedestrian facility. The geometry, alignment and construction of the facility should meet the applicable requirements of the "Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities(ADAAG)". a. Temporary Walkways with Detectable Edging A smooth, continuous hard surface (firm, stable and slip resistant) shall be provided throughout the entire length of the temporary pedestrian facility. Compacted soils, sand, crushed stone or asphaltic pavement millings shall not be used as a surface course for walkways. Temporary walkways shall include detectable edging as defined in the MUTCD. When temporary traffic barrier is included as a pay item in the contract and where locations identified on the plans for positive protection will also allow them to serve as pedestrian detectable edging, payment will be made for the temporary traffic barrier in accordance with Section 622. No payment will be made for temporary walkways with Detectable Edging where existing pavements or existing edging (that meets the requirements of MUTCD) are utilized as temporary walkways. Payment for temporary detectable edging, including approved barriers and channelizing devices, installed on existing pavements shall be included in Traffic Control-Lump Sum. Regardless of the materials used, temporary walkways shall be constructed of sufficient thickness and durability to withstand the intended use for the duration of the construction project. If concrete or asphalt is used as the surface course for the walkway, it shall be a minimum of one and one-half inches (1-1/2") thick. Temporary walkways constructed across unimproved streets and drives shall be a minimum thickness of four inches (4") for concrete and three inches (3") for asphalt. Joints formed in concrete sidewalks shall be in accordance with Section 441. Concrete surfaces shall have a broom finish. If plywood is used as a walkway, it must be a minimum of three quarters of an inch (3/4") thick pressure treated and supported with pressure treated longitudinal joists spaced a maximum of sixteen inches (16") on center. The plywood shall be secured to the joist with galvanized nails or galvanized deck screws. Nails and screws shall be countersunk to prevent snagging or tripping the pedestrians. A slip resistant friction course shall be applied to any plywood surface that is used as a walkway. Any slip resistant material used shall have the prior written approval of the engineer. The contractor may propose alternate types of Temporary Walkways provided the contractor can document that the proposed walkway meets the requirements of the "Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities (ADAAG)". Alternate types of Temporary Walkways shall have the prior written approval of the engineer. 24 Temporary walkways shall be constructed and maintained so there are no abrupt changes in grade or terrain that could cause a tripping hazard or could be a barrier to wheelchair use. The contractor shall construct and maintain the walkway to ensure that joints in the walkway have a vertical difference in elevation of no more than one quarter (1/4") of an inch and that the horizontal joints have gaps no greater than one half (1/2") of an inch. The grade of the temporary walkway should parallel the grade of the existing walkway or roadway and the cross slope should be no greater than 2%. A width of sixty (60") inches, if practical, should be provided throughout the entire length of any temporary walkway. The temporary walkway shall be a minimum width of forty eight inches (48"). When it is not possible to maintain a minimum width of sixty inches (60") throughout the entire length of temporary walkway, a sixty inch (60") by sixty inch (60") passing space should be provided at least every two hundred feet (200 Ft.), to allow individuals in wheelchairs to pass. Temporary walkways shall be constructed on firm subgrade. Compact the subgrade according to Section 209. Furnish and install any needed temporary pipes prior to constructing any walkway to ensure positive drainage away from or beneath the temporary walkway. Once the wa I kway is no longer required, remove any temporary materials and restore the area to the original conditions or as shown in the plans. b. Temporary Curb Cut Wheelchair Ramps Temporary curb cut wheelchair ramps shall be constructed in accordance with Section 441 and Detail A-3. Ramps shall also include a detectable warning surface in accordance with Detail A-4. Other types of material for the construction of the temporary curb cut wheelchair ramps, including the detectable warning surface, may be used provided the contractor can provide documentation that the material to be used meets the requirements of the "Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities (ADAAG)". When a wheelchair ramp is no longer required, remove the temporary materials and restore the area to existing conditions or as shown in the plans. For the items required to restore the area to original conditions or as shown in the plans, measures for payment shall be covered by contract pay items. If pay items are not included in the contract, then payment for these items shall be included in Traffic Control-Lump Sum. c. Temporary Audible Information Device Temporary audible information devices, when shown in the plans, shall be installed in compliance with the"Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities (ADAAG)". The devices shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. Prior to installation, the contractor shall provide the engineer with a set of manufacturer's drawings detailing the proper installation procedures for each device. When no longer required, the devices shall remain the property of the contractor. 25 L. TRAFFIC SIGNALS If the sequence of operations, staging, or the temporary traffic control plan requires the relocation or shifting of any components of an existing traffic signal system then any work on these traffic signals will be considered as part of Lump Sum - Traffic Control. The contractor becomes responsible for the maintenance of these traffic signals from the time that the system is modified until final acceptance. The maintenance of traffic signals that are not a part of the work and are not in conflict with any portion of the work shall not be the responsibility of the contractor. When construction operations necessitate an existing traffic signal to be out of service, the Contractor shall furnish off-duty police officers to regulate and maintain traffic control at the site. Off-duty police officers should be used to regulate and maintain traffic control at signal sites when lane closures or traffic shifts block or restrict movements causing interference with normal road user flows and will not allow the activated traffic signal to guide the traffic through the signal site. M. REMOVAL/REINSTALLATION OF MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS In the prosecution of the Work, if it becomes necessary to remove any existing signs, markers, guardrail, etc. not covered by specific pay item, they shall be removed, stored and reinstalled, when directed by the Engineer, to line and grade, and in the same condition as when removed. 150.3 SIGNS: A. SIGNING REQUIREMENTS OF THE TEMPORARY TRAFFIC CONTROL (TTC) PLAN When existing regulatory, warning or guide signs are required for proper traffic and pedestrian control the Contractor shall maintain these signs in accordance with the temporary traffic control (TTC) plan. The Contractor shall review the status of all existing signs, interim signs added to the work, and permanent sign installations that are part of the work to eliminate any conflicting or non-applicable signage in the TTC Plan. The Contractor's review of all signs in the TIC Plan shall establish compliance with the requirements of the MUTCD and Section 150. Any conflicts shall be reported to the Engineer immediately and the WTCS shall take the necessary measures to eliminate the conflict. The Contractor shall make every effort to eliminate the use of interim signs as soon as the Work allows for the installation of permanent signs. All existing illuminated signs shall remain lighted and be maintained by the Contractor. Existing street name signs shall be maintained at street intersections. B. CONFLICTING OR NON-APPLICABLE SIGNS 26 Any sign(s) or portions of a sign(s) that are not applicable to the TTC plan shall be covered so as not to be visible to traffic or shall be removed from the roadway when not in use. The WTCS shall review all traffic shifts and changes in the traffic patterns to ensure that all conflicting signs have been removed. The review shall confirm that the highest priority signs have been installed and that signs of lesser significance are not interfering with the visibility of the high priority signs. High priority signs include signs for road closures, shifts, detours, lane closures and curves. Any signs, such as speed zones and speed limits, passing zones, littering fines and litter pick up, that reference activities that are not applicable due to the presence of the Work shall be removed, stored and reinstalled when the Work is completed. Failure to promptly eliminate conflicting or non-applicable signs shall be considered as non-performance under Section 150.08. C. REMOVAL OF EXISTING SIGNS AND SUPPORTS The Contractor shall not remove any existing signs and supports without prior approval from the Engineer. All existing signs and supports which are to be removed shall be stored and protected if this material will be required later in the work as part of the TTC plan. If the signs are not to be utilized in the work then the signs will become the property of the Contractor unless otherwise specified in the contract documents. D. INTERIM GUIDE, WARNING AND REGULATORY SIGNS Interim guide, warning, or regulatory signs required to direct traffic and pedestrians shall be furnished, installed, reused, and maintained by the Contractor in accordance with the MUTCD, the Plans, Special Provisions, Special Conditions, or as directed by the Engineer. These signs shall remain the property of the Contractor. The bottom of all interim signs shall be mounted at least seven (7') feet above the level of the pavement edge when the signs are used for long-term stationary operations as defined by Section 6G.02 of the MUTCD. Special Conditions under Subsection 150.11 may modify this requirement. Portable signs may be used when the duration of the work is less than three (3)days or as allowed by the special conditions in Subsection 150.11. Portable signs shall be used for all punchlist work. All portable signs and sign mounting devices utilized in work shall be NCHRP 350 compliant. Portable interim signs shall be mounted a minimum of one (1') foot above the level of the pavement edge for directional traffic of two (2) lanes or less and a minimum of seven (7') feet for directional traffic of three (3) or more lanes. Signs shall be mounted at the height recommended by the manufacturer's crashworthy testing requirements. Portable interim signs which are mounted at less than seven (7') feet in height may have two 18 inch x 18 inch fluorescent red-orange or orange-red warning flags mounted on each sign. All regulatory sign blanks shall be rigid whether the sign is mounted as a portable sign, on a Type III barricade or as a permanent mount height sign. 27 Any permanent mount height interim sign that is designed to fold in half to cover a non-applicable message on the sign shall have reflectorized material on the folded over portion of the sign. The reflectorized material shall be orange in color with a minimum of ASTM Type I engineering grade sheeting with a minimum area of six inches by six inches (6"x 6") facing the direction of traffic at all times when the sign is folded. Interim signs may be either English or metric dimensions. E. EXISTING SPECIAL GUIDE SIGNS Existing special guide signs on the Project shall be maintained until conditions require a change in location or legend content. When change is required, existing signs shall be modified and continued in use if the required modification can be made within existing sign borders using design requirements (legend, letter size, spacing, border, etc.) equal to that of the existing signs, or of Subsection 150.03.E.2. Differing legend designs shall not be mixed in the same sign. 1. Special Guide Signs Special guide signs are those expressway or freeway guide signs that are designed with a message content (legend) that applies to a particular roadway location. When an existing special guide sign is in conflict with work to be performed, the Contractor shall remove the conflicting sign and reset it in a new, non-conflicting location which has been approved by the Engineer. 2. Interim Special Guide Signs When it is not possible to utilize existing signs, either in place or relocated, the Contractor shall furnish, erect, maintain, modify, relocate, and remove new interim special guide signs in accordance with the Plans or as directed by the Engineer. Interim special guide signs that may be required in addition to, or a replacement for, existing expressway and freeway (interstate) signs shall be designed and fabricated in compliance with the minimum requirements for guide signing contained in Part 2E"Guide Signs Expressway"and Part 2F"Guide Signs Freeways" of the MUTCD, except that the minimum size of all letters and numerals in the names and places, streets and highways on all signs shall be 16 inches Series "E" initial upper-case and 12 inches lower-case. All interstate shields on these signs shall be 48 inches and 60 inches for two-numeral and three-numeral routes, respectively. The road name of the exit or route shield shall be placed on the exit gore sign. 3.

All portable signs shall be mounted according to height requirements of Subsection 150.03.D. G. SIGN VISIBILITY AND OFFSETS All existing, interim and new permanent signs shall be installed so as to be completely visible for an advance distance in compliance with the MUTCD. Any clearing required for maintaining the line of sight to existing, interim or permanent signs shall be done as part of the requirements of the TTC plan. The clearing shall include any advance warning signs, both interim and permanent, that are installed as a part of the work including advance warning signs that are installed outside the limits of the project. Any sign installed behind W-beam or T-beam guardrail with non-breakaway posts shall be installed with the leading edge of the sign a minimum of four feet and three inches (4'3") behind the face of the guardrail with five feet (5') of clearance being desirable. Limbs, brush, construction equipment and materials shall be kept clear of the driver's line of sight to all signs that are part of the TTC plan. H. ADVANCE WARNING SIGNS: 1. All Type Of Highways Advance warning signs shall be placed ahead of the work area in accordance with Part VI of the MUTCD and shall include a series of at least three advance road work (W20-1) signs placed at the termini of the project. The series shall have the legend ROAD WORK (1500 FEET, 1000 FEET, AND 500 FEET). 31 At grade intersecting roadways and on-ramps shall be signed with a minimum of one ROAD WORK AHEAD sign. When work terminates at a "T" intersection, a minimum of one "ROAD WORK AHEAD" sign shall be placed in advance of the intersection and one"END ROAD WORK" sign shall be placed at the termination end of the intersection. Field conditions may require the use of additional warning signage. Advanced Warning Signs on State Routes shall be a minimum dimension of 48 inches x 48 inches. When a State Route intersects a project which consists of adding travel lanes, reconstructing an existing roadway or new location work,the State Route approaches shall have a minimum of three (W20-1) advanced warning signs (1500 ft., 1000 ft., 500 ft.). The termination end of a n intersecting State Route shall have END ROAD WORK signage. The W20-1 signs shall be placed at the termini of the project or sufficiently in advance of the termini to allow for lane shifts, lane closures and other activities which may also require advanced warning signs. The advanced warning signs for the project should not overlap with the advanced warning signs for lane shifts, lane closures,etc. The length of a workzone should be held to the minimum length required to accomplish the work. If a project has multiple individual worksites within the overall limits of the project, each site should be signed individually if the advance warning signs for each site can be installed without overlapping an adjacent worksite. As soon as the work is completed at any individual site the warning signs shall be removed from that site. Clean-up work and punchlist work shall be performed with portable signage. Project mileage indicated on the G20-1 sign shall be the actual project mileage rounded up to the nearest whole mile. Projects less than two (2) miles in length or individual worksites that are part of a multiple worksite project may delete this sign. The G20-1 sign shall be 60"X 36"and the G20-2 sign shall be 48"X 24". 2. Interstate, Limited Access And Multilane Divided Highways In addition to the W20-1 signs required at 500 ft., 1000 ft. and 1500 ft., multi- lane divided highways shall also have additional advanced warning signs installed with the legend "ROAD WORK (2 MILES, 1 MILE and 1/2 MILE). All construction warning signs on divided highways shall be double indicated (i.e., on the left and right sides of the roadway.) If the use of the 1/2 mile, 1 mile and 2 mile advanced warning signs cause an overlap with other work or do not benefit field conditions then the Engineer may review the use of these signs and eliminate their installation. When the posted speed limit is 50 MPH or less, the 1/2 mile, 1 mile and 2 mile signs should be eliminated especially in urban areas. The W20-1 advance warning signs for ROAD WORK 500 FEET; 1000 FEET; and 1500 FEET shall be temporarily covered when work involving the advanced warning signs for lane shifts and lane closures overlap these signs. The ROAD WORK 1/2 MILE, ROAD WORK 1 MILE, and ROAD WORK 2 MILES shall be in place when the 500, 1000 and 1500 feet signs are temporarily covered. 32 When the temporary traffic control zone already has advanced warning (W20-1) signs installed the W20-1 signs required for lane closures under Standard 9106 should be eliminated. RAMP WORK ON LIMITED ACCESS HIGHWAYS: The workzone shall not be signed for the entire length of the mainline of a limited access highway when only short individual worksites, interchange or ramp work is being performed. When work is restricted to ramp reconstruction or widening activities, the advance warning signs on the mainline section of the limited access highway shall be limited to the use of portable advance warning signs. These portable advance warning signs shall only be utilized when work activity is within the gore point of the ramp and the mainline traveled way or work is active in the accel/decel lane adjacent to the mainline traveled way. Portable ad v a n c e warning signs (W20-1; 1500ft. /1000 ft. /500ft.) shall be installed on the traveled way of the limited access highway when the above conditions are present. The advance warning signs shall be installed only in one direction where work is active. All portable signs shall be double indicated. When work is not active, the ramp work shall be advanced warned by the use of a single 48 inch X 48 inch "RAMP WORK AHEAD"sign along the right shoulder of the mainline traveled way prior to the beginning of the taper for the decel lane. The"RAMP WORK AHEAD" sign shall be mounted at seven (7') feet in height. Differences in elevation shall be in compliance with the requirements of Subsection 150.06 prior to the removal of the portable (W20-1) advanced warning signs from the mainline. The G20-1 sign shall be eliminated on limited access highways when the work involves only ramp work, bridge reconstruction, bridge painting, bridge joint repairs, guardrail and anchor replacement or other site specific work which is confined to a short section of limited access highway. I. PORTABLE CHANGEABLE MESSAGE SIGN Unless specified as a paid item in the contract the use of a portable changeable message sign will not be required. When specified, a portable changeable message sign (PCMS) shall meet the minimum requirements of Section 632 and the MUTCD. The maximum amount of messages allowed to be flashed on one PCMS is two phases (flashes). The language and the timing of the messages shall comply with the MUTCD and Section 632. When used as an advanced device the PCMS should typically be placed ahead of the construction activities. If the PCMS is used as a substitute for another device then the requirements for the other device apply. 3. FLASHING BEACON The flashing beacon assembly, when specified, shall be used in conjunction with construction warning signs, regulatory, or guide signs to inform traffic of special road conditions which require additional driver attention.

The (W8-1) sign shall be placed sufficiently in advance to warn the motorist of the condition. N. PEDESTRIAN SIGNAGE: Appropriate signs as described in the MUTCD shall be maintained to allow safe passage of pedestrian traffic or to advise pedestrians of walkway closures (Refer to MUTCD Figures TA-28 and TA-29 for guidance). Advance closure signing should be placed at intersections rather than midblock locations so that pedestrians are not confronted with midblock work sites that will induce them to attempt skirting the work site or making a midblock crossing. Signs and other devices mounted lower than seven (7) feet above the temporary pedestrian walkway shall not project more than four (4) inches into the accessible pedestrian facilities. Signs and other devices shall be placed such that they do not narrow any pedestrian passage to less than 48 inches. 35 150.4 PAVEMENT MARKINGS A. GENERAL Full pattern pavement markings in accordance with Section 652 and in conformance with Section 3A and 3B, except 36.02, of the MUTCD are required on all courses before the roadway is opened to traffic. No passing zones shall be marked to conform to Subsection 150.04.E. During construction and maintenance activities on all highways open to traffic, both existing markings and markings applied under this Section shall be fully maintained until Final Acceptance. If the pavement markings are, or become, unsatisfactory in the judgment of the Engineer due to wear, weathering, or construction activities, they shall be restored immediately. 1. Resurfacing Projects Pavement markings shall be provided on all surfaces that are placed over existing markings. Interim and final markings shall conform in type and location to the markings that existed prior to resurfacing unless changes or additions are noted in the Contract. The replacement of parking spaces will not be required unless a specific item or note has been included in the Contract. Any work to make additions to the markings that existed prior to resurfacing is to be considered as extra work. 2. Widening And Reconstruction Projects If the lane configuration is altered from the preconstruction layout then pavement markings will be as required by the plans or the Engineer. 3. New Location Construction Projects Pavement marking plans will be provided. B. MATERIALS All traffic striping applied under this Section shall be a minimum four inches in width or as shown in plans and shall conform to the requirements of Section 652, except as modified herein. Raised pavement markers (RPMs) shall meet the requirements of Section 654. Markings on the final surface course, which must be removed, shall be a removable type. The Contractor will be permitted to use paint, thermoplastic, or tape on pavement which is to be overlaid as part of the project, unless otherwise directed by the Engineer. Partial (skip) reflectorization (i.e. reflectorizing only a portion of a stripe) will not be allowed. C. INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF PAVEMENT MARKINGS: INSTALLATION: All pavement markings, both interim and permanent, shall be applied to a clean surface. The Contractor shall furnish the layout and preline the roadway surface for the placement of pavement markings applied as part of the temporary traffic control plan. All interim marking tape and RPM's on the final surface shall be removed prior to the placement of the final markings. The Contractor shall sequence the work in such a manner as to allow the installation of markings in the final lane configuration at the earliest possible stage of the work. 36 REMOVAL: Markings no longer applicable shall be removed in accordance with Subsection 656.3.05. THE ELIMINATION OF CONFLICTING PAVEMENT MARKINGS BY OVERPAINTING WITH UNAPPROVED PAINT OR ANY TYPE OF LIOUID ASPHALT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. INTERMEDIATE SURFACE: Interim markings shall be removed by methods that will cause minimal damage to the pavement surface while also ensuring that traveling public will not be confused or misdirected by any residual markings remaining on the intermediate surface. The use of approved black-out tape and black-out paint (manufactured for the sole purpose of covering existing pavement markings) may be permitted on some interim surfaces, provided the results are satisfactory to the Engineer. FINAL SURFACE: No interim paint or thermoplastic markings will be permitted on any final surface unless the interim markings are in alignment with the location of the permanent markings and the interim marking will not interfere or adversely affect placement of the permanent markings. The proposed method of removal for layout errors that require markings to be removed from the final surface shall have the prior approval of the Engineer. Any damage to the final pavement surface caused by the pavement marking removal process shall be repaired at the Contractor's expense by methods acceptable and approved by the Engineer. Subsection 400.3.06.0 shall apply when corrective measures are required. The use of black-out tape or black- out paint will not be permitted under any circumstance to correct layout errors on any final surface. Traffic shifts that are done on the final surface shall be accomplished using interim traffic marking tape that can be removed without any blemishing of the final surface. Interim traffic marking tape shall be used on any of the following final surfaces; asphaltic concrete, Portland cement concrete, and bridge deck surfaces. The contractor may propose alternate traffic markings and removal methods on the final surface. Submitted proposals shall include the type of material, method of removal and a cost comparison to the traffic marking tape method. Prior to any approval, the contractor shall field demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Engineer that the proposed traffic markings can be removed without any blemishing of the final surface. If the proposal is determined to be acceptable, a supplemental agreement will be executed prior to the installation of the proposed alternate traffic markings. The supplemental agreement shall denote the type of traffic marking materials, method of removal and any cost and/or time savings to the Department. The Department will not consider or participate in any cost increase that may result from implementing the proposed alternate method. PAY FACTOR REDUCTION FOR ASPHALTIC CONCRETE FINAL SURFACES: When t h e correction of an error in the layout of the final pavement markings requires the final surface to be grounded, blemished, scarred, or polished the pay factor shall be reduced to 0.95 for the entire surface area of the final topping that has a blemish, polished or a scarred surface. The reduced pay factor shall not be confined to only the width and length of the stripe or the dimensions of the blemished areas, the whole roadway surface shall have the reduced pay factor applied. The area of the 37 reduced pay factor shall be determined by the total length and the total width of the roadway affected. If the affected area is not corrected, the reduction in pay shall be deducted from the final payment for the topping layer of asphaltic concrete. The Engineer shall make the final determination whether correction or a reduced pay factor is acceptable. The eradication of pavement markings on intermediate and final concrete surfaces shall be accomplished by a method that does not grind, polish, or blemish the surface of the concrete. The method used for the removal of the interim markings shall not spall chip the joints in the concrete and shall not damage the sealant in the joints. Any joint or sealant repairs shall be included in the bid price for Traffic Control-Lump Sum. The proposed method of removal shall have the prior approval of the Engineer. Failure to promptly remove conflicting or non-applicable pavement markings shall be considered as non-performance under Subsection 150.08. PREPARATION AND PLANNING FOR TRAFFIC SHIFTS: When shifting of traffic necessitates removal of centerline, lane lines, or edge lines, all such lines shall be removed prior to, during, or immediately after any change so as to present the least interference with traffic. Interim traffic marking tape shall be used as a temporary substitute for the traffic markings being removed. Before any change in traffic lane(s) alignment, marking removal equipment shall be present on the project for immediate use. If marking removal equipment failures occur, the equipment shall be repaired or replaced (including leasing equipment if necessary), so that the removal can be accomplished without delay. Except for the final surface, markings on asphaltic concrete may be obliterated by an overlay course, when approved by the Engineer. When an asphaltic concrete overlay is placed for the sole purpose of eliminating conflicting markings and the in place asphaltic concrete section will allow, said overlay will be eligible for payment only if designated in the Plans. Overlays to obliterate lines will be paid for only once and further traffic shifts in the same area shall be accomplished with removable markings. Only the minimum asphaltic concrete thickness required to cover lines will be allowed. Excessive build-up will not be permitted. When an overlay for the sole purpose of eliminating conflicting markings is not allowed, the markings no longer applicable shall be removed in accordance with Subsection 656.3.05. D. RAISED PAVEMENT MARKERS Raised pavement markers (RPMs) are required as listed below for all asphaltic concrete pavements before the roadway is open to traffic. On the final surface, RPM's shall be placed according to the timeframes specified in Subsection 150.04 E. for full pattern pavement markings except Interstate Highways where RPM's shall be placed and/or maintained when the roadway is open to traffic. When Portland Cement Concrete is an intermediate or final surface and is open to traffic, one calendar day is allowed for cleaning and drying before the installation of RPMs is required. 38 Raised pavement markers are not allowed on the right edge lines under any situation. 1. Interstate Highways Retro-reflective raised pavement markers (RPM'S) shall be placed and/or maintained on intermediate pavements surfaces on all interstate highways that are open to traffic. This includes all resurfacing projects along with widening and reconstruction projects. The spacing and placement shall be as required for MULTI-LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAYS. 2. Multi-Lane Divided Highways Retro-reflective raised pavement markers (RPMs) shall be placed and/or maintained on intermediate pavement surfaces on all multi-lane divided highways that are opened to traffic when these roadways are being widened or reconstructed. Two lane-two way roadways that are being widened to a multi- lane facility, whether divided or undivided, are included in this provision. Projects consisting primarily of asphalt resurfacing items or shoulder widening items are excluded from this requirement. The RPMs shall be placed asfollows: a. SUPPLEMENTING LANE LINES 80 foot center on skip lines with curvature less than three degrees. (Includes tangents) 40 foot centers on solid lines and all lines with curvature between three degrees and six degrees. 20 foot centers on curves over six degrees. 20 foot centers on lane transitions or shifts. b.

When workers are present the shoulder shall be closed and the channelization devices shall meet the requirements of Subsection 150.05. The difference in elevation on the shoulder shall remain for a maximum period of fourteen (14) calendar days. 2. Differences in Elevation Greater Than Two(2")Inches The shoulder shall be closed. The shoulder closure shall not exceed twenty-four (24) hours in duration unless the Special Conditions in Subsection 150.11 modifies this restriction or the Engineer allows the work to be considered as a continuous operation. Failure to meet these requirements shall be considered as non-performance of Work under Subsection 150.08. F. MODIFICATIONS TO TIME RESTRICTIONS The Contractor may propose any alternate temporary traffic control plan that utilizes a portion of the travel lane as a "buffer space". This buffer space may allow for an enhanced work area that will allow for the placement of materials to proceed at a pace that could not be achieved with the time restriction requirements outlined in Section 150.06.A, 150.06.B, and 150.06.C. The Contractor may propose modified time restrictions based on the use of the buffer space. Any proposed modifications in the time duration allowed for the differences in elevations to exist shall be reviewed by the Engineer as a component of the overall TTC plan. No modifications shall be made until the proposed plan is accepted by the Engineer. The Engineer shall have no obligation to consider any proposal which results in an increase in cost to the Department. For the travel lane described in each of the Details 150-B, 150-C, 150-D and 150-E it is presumed that the pavement marking edgeline (yellow or white solid stripe) is located at the very edge of the travel lane surface. A buffer space (temporary paved shoulder) that utilizes a portion of the travel lane should be six (6') feet in width desirable but shall not be less than four (4') feet in width. Any remaining travel lane(s) shall not be less than ten (10') feet in width. Modifications to drum spacing shown in the details above will not be allowed. If the proposed shifting of the traffic to obtain a buffer space and maintain a minimum travel lane(s) of ten (10') feet requires the use of any existing paved shoulders then the cost of maintenance and repair of the existing paved shoulder(s) shall be the responsibility of the Contractor. The Contractor is responsible for the costs of maintenance and repairs even if the existing paved shoulder(s) is to be removed in a later stage of the work. Existing shoulders that have rumble strips shall have the rumble strips removed before the shoulder can be utilized as part of 53 the travel lane. The cost of the removal of the rumble strips shall be done at no cost to the Department even if the shoulder is to be removed in a later stage of the work. Any modifications to the staging and time restrictions that are approved as part of the TTC plan shall be agreed to in writing. Failure to meet these modifications shall be considered as non-performance of the Work under Subsection 150.08. G. ASPHALTIC CONCRETE RESURFACING PROJECTS SHOULDER CONSTRUCTION INCLUDED AS A PART OF THE CONTRACT: When the placement of asphaltic concrete materials creates a difference in elevation greater than two (2") inches between the earth shoulder (grassed or un-grassed) and the edge of travelway or between the earth shoulder and a paved shoulder that is less than four (4') feet in width, the Contractor shall place and maintain drums in accordance with the requirements of Subsection 150.05A.1.a.4.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: To remove 54,200 Cubic Yards (CYs) of accumulated sediment from Lake Aumond and 24,000 CYs of accumulated sediment from Hiers Pond via a bulldozer, excavator, and/or backhoe. Rae's Creek will be diverted and both water bodies would be drained prior to dredging. Thus the work will occur in the dry. Hiers Pond will be dredged first. A diversion structure will be placed above Hiers Pond, and the water in the creek will be diverted around the pond through a pipe and into the discharge box at the lower end of Hiers Pond. Once dredging is complete for Hiers Pond, dredging of Lake Aumond will commence. Prior to dredging, the discharge box from Hiers Pond will be closed, and water will be diverted around Lake Aumond and into the emergency spillway at the lower end of Lake Aumond. Upon completion of the dredging operations, the diversion structures will be removed. All dredged material will be placed in sealed dump trucks and hauled to an approved upland disposal site. The proposed disposal site will be 6 acres in size and constructed to handle a capacity of 88,000 CYs. The waterbodies will be maintained by dredging 4,000 CYs of material every 3-10 years. All maintenance dredged material will be disposed in an approved upland location. PROJECT LOCATION: The project site is located within Lake Aumond (Latitude 33.48017, Longitude -82.06456) and Hiers Pond (Latitude 33.4835, Longitude - 82.06124), in Augusta, Richmond County, Georgia. 1.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: To remove 54,200 Cubic Yards (CYs) of accumulated sediment from Lake Aumond and 24,000 CYs of accumulated sediment from Hiers Pond via a bulldozer, excavator, and/or backhoe. Rae's Creek will be diverted and both water bodies will be drained prior to dredging. Thus the work will occur in the dry. Hiers Pond will be dredged first. A diversion structure will be placed above Hiers Pond, and the water in the creek will be diverted around the pond through a pipe and into the discharge box at the lower end of Hiers Pond. Once dredging is complete for Hiers Pond, dredging of Lake Aumond will commence. Prior to dredging, the discharge box from Hiers Pond will be closed, and water will be diverted around Lake Aumond and into the emergency spillway at the lower end of Lake Aumond. Upon completion of the dredging operations, the diversion structures will be removed. All dredged material will be placed in sealed dump trucks and hauled to an approved upland disposal site. The proposed disposal site will be 6 acres in size and constructed to handle a capacity of 88,000 CYs. The waterbodies will be maintained by dredging 4,000 CYs of material every 3-10 years. All maintenance dredged material will be disposed in an approved upland location. p ACRES AND/OR LINEAR FEET OF WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES IMPACTED: 0.79 acre of wetland DATE WORK IN WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES COMPLETED: COMPENSATORY MITIGATION REQUIRED: 13.53 wetland credits DATE MITIGATION COMPLETED OR PURCHASED (include bank name): Within 30 days of completion of the activity authorized by this permit, sign this certification and return it to the following address: Commander U.S. Army Engineer District, Savannah Attention: Regulatory Division 100 West Oglethorpe Avenue Savannah, Georgia 31401 Please note that your permitted activity is subject to compliance inspection by an U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' representative.

The State of Georgia certifies that there is no applicable provision of Section 301; no limitation under Section 302; no standard under Section 306; and no standard under Section 307, for the applicant's activity. The State of Georgia certifies that the applicant's activity will comply with all applicable provisions of Section 303. This certification is contingent upon the following conditions: 1. All work performed during construction will be done in a manner so as not to violate applicable water quality standards. 2. No oils, grease, materials or other pollutants will be discharged from the construction activities which reach public waters. 3. Removal of sediments from the bottoms of Hiers Pond and Lake Aumond and the placement of these materials into the upland disposal facility will be performed in accordance with a dredging sequence plan cited in the December 2016 Screening-Level Risk Assessment of Dredged Material for Upland Disposal. This plan lays out the process Page 2 JPN SAS-2012-00778 Richmond County by which sediment materials with relatively higher levels of Constituents of Potential Ecological Risk(COPECs)will be excavated and handled sequentially as to place such materials at deeper elevations within the upland disposal facility. According to this plan the dredging sequence will be as follows: 1) Hiers Ponds Area B (lower portion), 2) Hiers Pond Area A (upper portion), Lake Aumond Area A(upper portion),and Lake Aumond Area B (upper portion). 4. Following the managed placement of excavated sediment into the upland disposal facility, the fill will be capped with a 2-foot layer of clean native soil. This 2-foot soil cap will be planted with grasses to further protect the cap, manage runoff and minimize erosion. 5. Any sediment excavation which may be necessary in future years as a maintenance activity at Hiers Pond or Lake Aumond will need to be programmed for placement at an upland disposal site similar to the one documented for this current project. Details of any future site's location, topography, construction plan, and dredging sequence plan as appropriate will be submitted in advance to the Watershed Protection Branch pending review and subsequent approval of future phases of maintenance sediment removal from these lakes. 6. The applicant must notify Georgia EPD of any modifications to the proposed activity including but not limited to,modifications to the construction or operation of any facility. This certification does not relieve the applicant of any obligation or responsibility for complying with the provisions of any other laws or regulations of other federal, state or local authorities. It is your responsibility to submit this certification to the appropriate federal agency. Sinceerr�eelly`, 1 CD. . Richard E.
