Gravel must be uncrushed, rounded natural river rock with no sharp edges. Gravel shall have the following size requirements: Particle SizePercent PassingPercent Retained 5"95-100%0-5% 2"75-85%15-25% 1"40-50%50-60% 3/4"25-35%60-75% 1/2"10-20%85-90% 1/4"0-5%95-100% No gravel shall be smaller than 1/4 inch in diameter. Gravel shall be completely free of dirt, silt, sand or any other fine particulate material that is less that 1/4 inch in diameter. In addition, gravel shall be completely free of oils, clay, debris and organic material. Gravel must be washed at least once and have a cleanliness value of 85 or higher based on CalTrans Test #227. Gravel delivered to the job site not meeting size and cleanliness specifications will be refused by the Contracting Officer or the COR and will be immediately removed from the job site at the contractor's expense. Prior to the commencement of the job, the contractor and the COR, will discuss methods that the contractor shall employ at the gravel plant/production source to assure correct sized gravel is delivered to the site and take one sample of the gravel at the gravel plant/production source. The contractor shall have the gravel tested, by a certified/qualified lab, for both size and cleanliness according to CalTrans Test #227. Results of testing will be provided to Reclamation prior to job commencement. During project implementation, the COR and contractor may take random samples of delivered gravel. Random samples will again be tested, at the contractor's expense, to assure cleanliness and size requirements. In addition, Reclamation will independently sample and test gravel for compliance with size gradation and cleanliness specifications. Sampling and testing will be conducted at a frequency determined by Reclamation to assure gravel specification compliance throgh the entire project's implementation. The Contracting Officer or the COR has the right to reject any load of spawning gravel delivered to the job sites that do not appear to meet specification for size and cleanliness. Any dispute on the acceptability of the spawning gravel shall be resolved by the testing of the spawning gravel in question. The contractor shall provide the necessary testing and labor to see that the test is performed at no additional cost to Reclamation. GRAVEL PLACEMENT At the Salt Creek job site, gravel shall be initially delivered and dumped at the river's edge in the designated area. The contractor shall provide and operate a front end loader that will push the gravel into the river. As further loads are delivered, the front-end loader will begin forming a fan shaped terrace, to a height even with the existing bank, out into the river channel. As the terrace forms and extends into the river, trucks delivering gravel will be required to drive out onto the terrace to dump the gravel. As the terrace expands it will not exceed approximately one-half the width of the wetted channel or as directed by the COR. Placement of gravel shall take place between August 31 and September 25, 2009. Delivery of gravel to the job site will occur Monday through Friday between 7:00 AM and 4:30 PM. No trucks shall access to the job sites prior to 7:00 AM or after 4:30 PM. The contractor will not work on designated Federal holidays. The contractor shall deliver between 700 and 1,000 tons of gravel per day to the job site. Once the job commences, the contractor shall work continuously on weekdays until the job is completed. Gravel placement techniques must maintain water quality. Please direct all questions pertaining to this announcement to K. Annette Fleming via email at kfleming@mp.usbr.gov.
