NCDEQ Division of Mitigation Services
Moores Fork 2023 Repair SCO Project # 19-21112-01A

The owner may have changes made in the work covered by the contract. These changes will not
invalidate and will not relieve or release the contractor from any guarantee given by him pertinent to
the contract provisions. These changes will not affect the validity of the guarantee bond and will not
relieve the surety or sureties of said bond. All extra work shall be executed under conditions of the
original contract.
Except in an emergency endangering life or property, no change shall be made by the contractor
except upon receipt of approved change order from the designer, countersigned by the owner
authorizing such change. No claim for adjustments of the contract price shall be valid unless this
procedure is followed. Should a claim for extra compensation by the contractor be denied by the
designer or the owner, the contractor may pursue his claim in accordance with G.S. 143-135.3.
In the event of emergency endangering life or property, the contractor may be directed to proceed
on a time and material basis whereupon the contractor shall proceed and keep accurately on such
form as specified by the designer or owner, a correct account of costs together with all proper
invoices, payrolls and supporting data. Upon completion of the work the change order will be
prepared as outlined under either Method "c(1)" or Method "c(2)" or both.
In determining the values of changes, either additive or deductive, contractors are restricted to the
use of the following methods:
Where the extra work involved is covered by unit prices quoted in the proposal, or subsequently
agreed to by the Contractor, Designer, Owner and State Construction Office the value of the
change shall be computed by application of unit prices based on quantities, estimated or actual
as agreed of the items involved, except is such cases where a quantity exceeds the estimated
quantity allowance in the contract by one hundred percent (100%) or more. In such cases,
either party may elect to proceed under subparagraph c (2) herein. If neither party elects to
proceed under c (2), then unit prices shall apply.
2. The contracting parties shall negotiate and agree upon the equitable value of the change prior
to issuance of the change order, and the change order shall stipulate the corresponding lump
sum adjustment to the contract price.
Under Paragraph "b" and Methods "c(2)" above, the allowances for overhead and profit combined
shall be as follows: all contractors (the single contracting entity (prime), his subcontractors(1 st tier
subs), or their sub -subcontractors (2nd tier subs, 3rd tier subs, etc.) shall be allowed a maximum of
10% on work they each self -perform; the prime contractor shall be allowed a maximum of 5% on
contracted work of his 1st tier sub; 1st tier, 2nd tier, 3rd tier, etc. contractors shall be allowed a
maximum of 2.5% on the contracted work of their subs. ; Under Method "c(1)", no additional
allowances shall be made for overhead and profit. In the case of deductible change orders, under
Method "c(2)" and Paragraph (b) above, the contractor shall include no less than five percent (5%)
profit, but no allowances for overhead.
The term "net cost" as used herein shall mean the difference between all proper cost additions and
deductions. The "cost" as used herein shall be limited to the following:
1. The actual costs of materials and supplies incorporated or consumed as part of the work;
2. The actual costs of labor expended on the project site; labor expended in coordination, change
order negotiation, record document maintenance, shop drawing revision or other tasks
necessary to the administration of the project are considered overhead whether they take place
in an office or on the project site.
3. The actual costs of labor burden, limited to the costs of social security (FICA) and
Medicare/Medicaid taxes; unemployment insurance costs; health/dental/vision insurance
premiums; paid employee leave for holidays, vacation, sick leave, and/or petty leave, not to
exceed a total of 30 days per year; retirement contributions; worker's compensation insurance
NCDEQ Division of Mitigation Services
Moores Fork 2023 Repair SCO Project # 19-21112-01A 10

premiums; and the costs of general liability insurance when premiums are computed based on
payroll amounts; the total of which shall not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the actual costs of
labor;
4. The actual costs of rental for tools, excluding hand tools; equipment; machinery; and temporary
facilities required for the work;
5. The actual costs of premiums for bonds, insurance, permit fees and sales or use taxes related
to the work.
Overtime and extra pay for holidays and weekends may be a cost item only to the extent approved
by the owner.
Should concealed conditions be encountered in the performance of the work below grade, or
should concealed or unknown conditions in an existing structure be at variance with the conditions
indicated by the contract documents, the contract sum and time for completion may be equitably
adjusted by change order upon claim by either party made within thirty (30) days after the condition
has been identified. The cost of such change shall be arrived at by one of the foregoing methods.
All change orders shall be supported by a unit cost breakdown showing method of arriving at net
cost as defined above.
Change orders shall be submitted by the contractor in writing to the owner/designer for review and
approval. The contractor will provide such proposal and supporting data in suitable format. The
designer shall verify correctness. Delay in the processing of the change order due to lack of proper
submittal by the contractor of all required supporting data shall not constitute grounds for a time
extension or basis of a claim. Within fourteen (14) days after receipt of the contractor's accepted
proposal including all supporting documentation required by the designer, the designer shall
prepare the change order and forward to the contractor for his signature or otherwise respond, in
writing, to the contractor's proposal. Within seven (7) days after receipt of the change order
executed by the contractor, the designer shall, certify the change order by his signature, and
forward the change order and all supporting data to the owner for the owner's signature. The
owner shall execute the change order, within seven (7) days of receipt.
At the time of signing a change order, the contractor shall be required to certify as follows:
"I certify that my bonding company will be notified forthwith that my contract has been changed by
the amount of this change order, and that a copy of the approved change order will be mailed upon
receipt by me to my surety."
A change order, when issued, shall be full compensation, or credit, for the work included, omitted or
substituted. It shall show on its face the adjustment in time for completion of the project as a result
of the change in the work.
If, during the progress of the work, the owner requests a change order and the contractor's terms
are unacceptable, the owner, may require the contractor to perform such work on a time and
material basis whereupon the contractor shall proceed and keep accurately on such form as
specified by the Designer or owner, a correct account of cost together with all proper invoices,
payrolls and supporting data. Upon completion of the work a change order will be prepared with
allowances for overhead and profit per paragraph d. above and "net cost" and "cost" per paragraph
e. above. Without prejudice, nothing in this paragraph shall preclude the owner from performing or
to have performed that portion of the work requested in the change order.
14. ANNULMENT OF CONTRACT
If the contractor fails to begin the work under the contract within the time specified, or the progress of the work is not
maintained on schedule, or the work is not completed within the time specified, or fails to perform the work with

creditors, or for any other cause whatsoever shall not carry on the work in an acceptable manner, the owner may
give notice in writing, sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the contractor and his surety (if applicable)

such notice shall not proceed in accordance therewith, then the owner shall, declare this contract in default, and,
thereupon, the surety shall promptly take over the work and complete the performance of this contract in the
manner and within the time frame specified. In the event the contractor, or the surety (if applicable) shall fail to take
over the work to be done under this contract within seven (7) days after being so notified and notify the owner in
writing, sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, that he is taking the same over and stating that he will

contract, to take the prosecution of the work out of the hands of said contractor, to appropriate or use any or all
contract materials and equipment on the grounds as may be suitable and acceptable and may enter into an
agreement, either by public letting or negotiation, for the completion of said contract according to the terms and
provisions thereof or use such other methods as in his opinion shall be required for the completion of said contract

work under contract, shall be deducted from any monies due or which may become due said contractor and surety
(if applicable). In case the expense so incurred by the owner shall be less than the sum which would have been
payable under the contract, if it had been completed by said contractor, then the said contractor and surety (if

have been payable under the contract, then the contractor and the surety (if applicable) shall be liable and shall pay
to the owner the amount of said excess.
15. TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE

convenience, after notification to the contractor in writing via certified mail. Upon receipt of such
notice, Contractor shall, unless the notice directs otherwise, immediately discontinue the work and

work to be completed for overhead and profit. There shall be deducted from such sums as provided
in this subparagraph the amount of any payments made to Contractor prior to the date of the
termination of this Agreement. Contractor shall not be entitled to any claim or claim of lien against
Owner for any additional compensation or damages in the event of such termination and payment.
16. OWNER'S RIGHT TO DO WORK

Contractors performing contracts for state agencies shall give the state agency for whose project
the property was purchased a signed statement containing the information listed in G.S. 105-
164.14(e).
The Department of Revenue has agreed that in lieu of obtaining copies of sales receipts from
contractors, an agency may obtain a certified statement as of April 1, 1991 from the contractor
setting forth the date, the type of property and the cost of the property purchased from each vendor,
the county in which the vendor made the sale and the amount of local sales and use taxes paid
thereon. If the property was purchased out-of-state, the county in which the property was delivered
should be listed. The contractor should also be notified that the certified statement may be subject
to audit.
In the event the contractors make several purchases from the same vendor, such certified
statement must indicate the invoice numbers, the inclusive dates of the invoices, the total amount of
the invoices, the counties, and the county sales and use taxes paid thereon.
Name of taxing county: The position of a sale is the retailer's place of business located within a
taxing county where the vendor becomes contractually obligated to make the sale. Therefore, it is
important that the county tax be reported for the county of sale rather than the county of use.
When property is purchased from out-of-state vendors and the county tax is charged, the county
should be identified where delivery is made when reporting the county tax.
Such statement must also include the cost of any tangible personal property withdrawn from the
contractor's warehouse stock and the amount of county sales or use tax paid thereon by the
contractor.
Similar certified statements by his subcontractors must be obtained by the general contractor and
furnished to the claimant.

Executive Order 11375, relative to equal employment opportunity for all persons without regard to race, color,
religion, sex or national origin, and the implementing rules and regulations prescribed by the secretary of Labor, are
incorporated herein.
The contractor(s) agree not to discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of physical
or mental disabilities in regard to any position for which the employee or applicant is qualified. The contractor
agrees to take affirmative action to employ, advance in employment and otherwise treat qualified individuals with
such disabilities without discrimination based upon their physical or mental disability in all employment practices.

Moores Fork 2023 Repair SCO Project # 19-21112-01A 21

SEQUENCE OF CONSTRUCTION
Under no circumstances shall any waste material or temporary stockpiling material be placed in any areas
outside of the Limits of Disturbance.
THE CONTRACTOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR FOLLOWING THE SEQUENCE OF CONSTRUCTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE PLANS AND THE FOLLOWING PROVISIONS, AS DIRECTED BY THE DESIGNER. CONSTRUCTION SHALL PROCEED
IN THE SPECIFIED MANNER UNLESS OTHERWISE DIRECTED OR APPROVED BY THE DESIGNER. THE FOLLOWING
PROVISIONS, ALONG WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE PLANS, CONSTITUTE THE SEQUENCE OF
CONSTRUCTION.
GENERAL SITE NOTES:
1. THE CONTRACTOR SHALL ONLY CONDUCT STREAM WORK, INCLUDING ALL IN -STREAM STRUCTURES, GRADING,
STABILIZATION MEASURES, AND SEEDING, MULCHING, AND MATTING WORK, ON A SECTION OF STREAM THAT
SHALL BE ENTIRELY COMPLETED WITHIN A SINGLE DAY. EACH SECTION OF COMPLETED STREAM MUST BE
STABILIZED AND MATTED BEFORE FLOW CAN BE RETURNED INTO THE CHANNEL.
2. WHEN WORKING IN STREAMS WITH NO ACTIVE FLOW THE CONTRACTOR IS REQUIRED TO HAVE
APPROPRIATELY SIZED PUMPS AND MATERIALS TO INSTALL AND MAINTAIN A TEMPORARY STREAM DIVERSION IN
ANTICIPATION OF PENDING STORM EVENTS. WORKING IN A DRY CHANNEL DOES NOT PRECLUDE THE
CONTRACTOR FROM HAVING TO COMPLY WITH NOTE 1 ABOVE.
3. UPON APPROVAL FROM THE DESIGNER, PHASES 2 THROUGH 6 MAY BE CONSTRUCTED IN A DIFFERENT
SEQUENCE THAN INDICATED BELOW OR CONCURRENTLY. FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE CONTRACTOR HAS TWO TEAMS,
THEN TWO SEPARATE REPAIR AREAS CAN BE WORKED ON AT THE SAME TIME. ALSO, IF ONE REPAIR AREA SHOWS
SIGNS OF DRYING OUT QUICKER THAN ANOTHER, THEN THE CONTRACTOR MAY CHOOSE TO BUILD THE DRIER
REPAIR AREA, EVEN IF OUT OF THE ORDER SHOWN BELOW. ALL EROSION CONTROL RESPONSIBILITIES WILL
REMAIN THE SAME.
4. ALL CONSTRUCTION WORK SHALL BE DONE DURING PERIODS OF DRY WEATHER. CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES
MUST NOT TAKE PLACE DURING WET WEATHER OR PREDICTED WET WEATHER.
5. IF NEEDED, ALL STREAM/DITCH CROSSINGS WILL BE LOCATED IN AREAS OF THE STREAM WHERE LEFT AND
RIGHT BANK HEIGHTS ARE SIMILAR OR CAN BE GRADED TO PROVIDE A LEVEL, OR NEAR LEVEL, CROSSING
SURFACE. BRIDGE MATS CAN BE MADE OF WOOD OR STEEL, BUT MUST BE CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING THE
GROUND PRESSURE OF THE EQUIPMENT THAT WILL BE UTILIZING THE CROSSING. UPON ENSURING A LEVEL
CROSSING SURFACE, THE BRIDGE MATS WILL BE LAID ACROSS THE CHANNEL IN A MANNER THAT DOES NOT
DISRUPT STREAM FLOW OR CAUSE EROSION IN THE CHANNEL. THIS IS TYPICALLY ACHIEVED USING AN
EXCAVATOR TO LIFT THE MATS ACROSS THE CHANNEL WITH CHAINS AND GUIDED AND SET BY A GROUND CREW.
THE MATS MUST BE CONTINUOUS ACROSS THE CHANNEL, WITH NO GAPS THAT COULD ALLOW SEDIMENT TO
ENTER THE STREAM. ACCUMULATED SEDIMENT ON THE MATS WILL BE REMOVED ON A FREQUENT BASIS TO
MINIMIZE DISCHARGE OF SEDIMENT TO THE STREAM DURING USE. AFTER SETTING THE BRIDGE MATS, A STONE
APRON WILL BE APPLIED ON THE ENTRANCE AND EXIT OF THE BRIDGE AS PER THE DETAIL IN THE PLANS. THIS
APRON WILL BE MAINTAINED AND REPLACED AS NEEDED TO MINIMIZE SEDIMENT MOBILIZATION TO THE
STREAM. PRIOR TO REMOVING THE CROSSINGS, THE MATS SHOULD BE CLEANED OF SEDIMENT. SIMILAR TO
INSTALLATION, THE MATS SHOULD BE REMOVED USING AN EXCAVATOR AND CHAINS SO THEY CAN BE LIFTED UP
AND OUT OF THE AREA WITHOUT DAMAGING THE STREAM OR ENTERING THE STREAM FLOW. MECHANICAL
EQUIPMENT SHALL NOT TRAVERSE STREAMS WITHOUT THE USE OF TEMPORARY BRIDGES. ALL BANK DAMAGE
FROM THE CROSSING WILL BE GRADED BACK TO A ACCEPTIBLE FORM AND STABILIZED WITH
SEED/MULCH/FINISHED WITH 70OG COIR MATTING.
6. EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL PERMIT, ALONG WITH THE 401 AND 404 PERMITS, MUST BE OBTAINED
BEFORE ANY LAND DISTURBING ACTIVITIES OCCUR. A COPY OF THESE PERMITS AND A HARD COPY OF THE PLAN
MUST BE KEPT ON SITE, PREFERABLY IN A PERMITS BOX, AND ACCESSIBLE DURING INSPECTION.

ANY NEEDED REPAIRS SHALL BE MADE IMMEDIATELY TO MAINTAIN MEASURES AS DESIGNED. ALL ESC MEASURES
SHALL BE MAINTAINED AS SPECIFIED IN THE CONSTRUCTION DETAILS.
8. AFTER SITE IS STABILIZED, REMOVE ALL TEMPORARY EROSION CONTROL MEASURES AND PROVIDE PERMANENT
SEEDING WHERE TEMPORARY MEASURES HAVE BEEN REMOVED AND GROUND COVER IS NOT ADEQUATE.
9. PER NPDES REQUIREMENTS, A RAIN GAUGE, SELF -INSPECTIONS RECORDS, PERMIT, AND EROSION AND
SEDIMENT CONTROL PLAN ARE REQUIRED TO BE MAINTAINED ON SITE AND ACCESSIBLE DURING INSPECTION.
THESE ITEMS SHALL BE PLACED IN A PERMITS BOX ATTHE BEGINNING OR ENTRANCE OF PROJECT.
10. CONTACT THE DEMLR WINSTON-SALEM REGIONAL OFFICE AT LEAST 48 HOURS PRIOR TO COMMENCING THE
LAND DISTURBING ACTIVITY AND ALSO ONCE THE SITE IS PERMANENTLY VEGETATED AND READY FOR CLOSEOUT
INSPECTION - 336-776-9631.

Fertilizer and Limestone shall be applied at the rate of 500 lbs./acre and 2000lbs./acre, respectively and applied
only once for all seeding coverage. Fertilizer shall be 5-10-10 analysis. Upon written approval of the Designer, a
different analysis of fertilizer may be used provided the 1-2-2 ratio is maintained and the rate of application
adjusted to provide the same amount of plant food as a 5-10-10 analysis.
Maintenance shall begin immediately after seeding operations and continue until Final Acceptance. Maintenance
of seeded areas shall consist of watering, weed and pest control, fertilization, erosion repair, reseeding and
incidental operations as necessary to establish a healthy, vigorous, weed free and disease -free uniform stand of
grass. All areas which fail to show a uniform stand of grass for any reason shall be treated repeatedly until a
uniform stand of at least 90% coverage is attained with no bare area greater than five square feet.
Construction Methods:
Seed is to be sown with a spreader. Seed is to be evenly distributed and shall not be broadcast or dropped when
wind velocity exceeds 5 mph. Seeded areas on the stream banks shall be protected with coir fiber matting in
addition to straw mulch as detailed in the plans and these provisions. Other seeded areas are to be protected by
spreading straw mulch uniformly to form a continuous blanket over seeded areas.
Method of Measurement:
"Permanent Seeding" will be measured by the acreage installed.
Basis of Payment
"Permanent Seeding" will be paid for at the contract unit price per acreage installed. This payment shall be
considered full compensation for all materials, labor, equipment, and incidentals necessary for installation of the
"Permanent Seeding". The cost of fertilizer and lime is included in "Permanent Seeding", not 'Temporary
Seeding".

Section 5.0 Miscellaneous Items
5.1 Fencing
Scope/Description:
5-strand barbed wire fencing shall be installed at the location indicated on sheet EC7 of the construction plans,
and as directed by Designer. The 5-strand barbed wire fencing will be tied into existing electrical fencing at this
location. Electrified barbed wire is adequate for the lower wire to supplement in the ditch crossing. Dropper wires
connecting to the high tensile will provide the current. Use heavy duty permanent insulator.
Note: If the contractor needs to access Repair Area 1 from the top portion of the easement, the existing fence may
need to be temporarily removed to allow equipment to pass through. If able, disconnect the high tensile wire at
the corners instead of cutting. If cutting is required, or if the fence is currently in need of splicing once
construction activities are complete, the wire should be spliced with a high tensile tensioning spring and a gear
tensioner at the splice. Do not use gripples to splice the wire.
Materials:
Fencing materials shall be of quality and durability that meets the management objectives of keeping cattle out of
the DMS conservation easement. Wire and hardware will be new, galvanized material. All barbed wire shall consist
of class 3 galvanized 4-point barbs spaced no more than 5" apart. Galvanized barbed wire shall be fabricated from
12-1/2 gauge class 1 galvanized or better or 15-1/2 gauge class 3 galvanized strand wire and shall met the
requirement od ASTM A121. Corner/anchor and line posts shall be 6" diameter CCA treated wood posts, buried 3'
in ground with a maximum of 8 feet of separation. Horizontal rails installed at end point Single and Double H
Braces shall be 8-ft long 4" minimum diameter CCA treated wood posts. All materials needed for splicing into the
existing electrified high tensile wire fencing will also be considered incidental to this pay item (see note in above
section).
Construction Methods:
Barbed Wire Fencing installation must adhere to the specifications outlined in the 'USDA/NRCS Fence Barbed
Wire' guidance. Barbed wire strands shall not exceed 16" separation, from each other and ground level. Single H

corners and end braces may only be installed at end of fence spans of 165 feet or less. Double H braces will be
required at any gates or continued corners. At channel crossings, Contractor shall center the posts in manner to
equally straddle the newly graded channel — no posts should be installed in the new channel or finished banks.
Method of Measurement:
The quantity of "Barbed Wire Fencing" to be measured for payment will be the actual number of linear feet
installed.
Basis of Payment:
The quantity of "Barbed Wire Fencing" measured as provided above will be paid for at the contract unit price per
linear foot for "Barbed Wire Fencing". This payment shall be considered full compensation for all materials, labor,
equipment, and any incidentals necessary to finish the task of "Barbed Wire Fencing".
