  1. Contract Specifications • Background on ODOT Plans & Specifications • “Plans” = design drawings • “Specs” = Standard Specifications and Boiler Plate Special Provisions and Special Provisions • Project “Contract” = Plans + Standard Specifications + Contract Special Provisions • Contract Special Provisions = “Contract Specifications” • custom prepared during Project Development • Biologist needs to be proactive for edits

  2. Contract Specifications (cont.) • The good news: • Most of the FAHP requirements are already in ODOT’s Standard and BP SPs • The bad news: • Standard Specifications 2008 • Boiler Plate Special Provisions • 2008 plus many little updates • ODOT currently working on 2015 Specs • No new Boiler SP updates probably allowed in the mean time • This means...minor updates needed for Project Special Provisions to comply with FAHP BP SPs = Boiler Plate Special Provisions

  3. Contract Specifications (cont.) • Mobilization & Staging • Standard = Contractor designated & permitted. However, under ESA, effects may be considered Interrelated & Interdependent. • Agency may reduce the risk of potential regulatory violations by clearing and designating sites that are to be used for the Contract, and use SP00290.10.

  4. Contract Specifications (cont.) • Temporary Water Management, SP0245 • Unlike SLOPES IV, under FAHP, TWMP does not require Services review/approval. • Services can provide technical input on TWMP. • In-Water Work in streams with native fish • Add BP SP00290.34 for on-site meeting • Add BP SP00290.34(a, b), edited for project location • Willamette Falls IWWW exclusion • Depends on location & type work • Coordinate with Services

  5. Contract Specifications (cont.) BP SPs = Boiler Plate Special Provisions • General Equipment SP00290.34 • Edit BP SPs per User’s Guide (pgs 35-38) • Most relate to FAHP 150-ft buffer • Distance may be modified based on site conditions and justified in Project Notification • Goal is avoid polluting aquatic habitat • Reduce if some sort of barrier • Increase if wider floodplain or marsh • Special Aquatic Sites SP00290.34(c-4) • Use of pesticides or herbicides. Delete “herbicide” if allowed (pg 36) Page references are for May 2013 User’s Guide

  6. Contract Specifications (cont.) • Drilling, Boring, Jacking SP00290.34(c-8) • If IWW with ESA fish present, FAHP requires NMFS be contacted within 48 hours – Coordinate with Project Manager • Utility Lines SP00290.34 (c-13) • If IWW in ESA streams & Agency-controlled utility • New SP for FAHP • Save/re-using large wood, streambed gravel

  7. Contract Specifications (cont.) • SP00290.34(c-7) Hydroacoustics • As relevant, add and edit BP SPs per User’s Guide (pgs 36-37) • Distance & pile size depends on site conditions and effects to covered species • Early Coordination • Additional information in Project Notification • Add bubble curtain SPs if needed (Appendix 7) • Steller Sea Lion Haul Outs (pg 37) • Work Containment (SP 00290.42) • Unlike SLOPES IV, FAHP allows certain uses of treated wood & barges (pg 38)

  8. Contract Specifications (cont.) • Clearing & Grubbing (SP 00320) • Standard specs 00320.02, 00320.40, 00320.42 & 330.41 may be in conflict with FAHP regarding contractor requirements for removal & disposal • If applicable to project, add/edit BP: • SP00320(b-4) to protect trees & down timber • SP00320(b-5) to save/stockpile veg, trees, down timber for site restoration or mitigation • SP00320.42 to create Agency ownership • new SP00330.41(a-13) to save/stockpileboulders or stream gravels
