250407 - Tom Benero advised COE is retaining earnings because Dutra's
250408 - production rate shows it cannot meet the contract completion date.
250409 - Production reports indicate Dutra has not averaged 10K per day as
250410 - expected when the Antone was mobilized at the site.
250412 - ..
250413 - Rob Andrews offered that in order to achieve the original expected
250414 - average production of 10K CY/Day, Dutra must begin averaging 14K to
250415 - 15K CY per day.
250417 - ..
250418 - Tom Benero indicated COE would consider releasing retained earnings
250419 - and cease withholding future earnings, if Dutra can begin averaging
250420 - 14K CY per day, and/or take such other measures that will reasonably
250421 - result in completing the work within the contract period, as adjusted

310904 - Tom Benero advised COE has investigated Dutra's report in its 961007
310905 - letter, ref DRP 1 line 26, and is prepared to issue an RFP based upon
310906 - input from Dutra in the meeting on 961017, ref SDS 6 line 89, per
310907 - understandings at the Progress Meeting on 961015, ref SDS 4 line 418.
310909 - ..
310910 - COE is considering a directive for Dutra to remove debris in excess of
310911 - the requirements of para 02480 para 9, in the Todd and Schnitzer Wings
310912 - based on assuming approximately a 1' - 2' depth of debris throughout
310913 - these areas. It is recognized that debris will not occur throughout
310914 - the areas, however, the actual condition can only be determined by
310915 - performance of the work, since all of the work to be performed is
310916 - underwater. Dutra holds it is "critical" for it to commence work in
310917 - these areas, and so for budgeting purposes this calculation can be
310918 - determined, as discussed with Dutra at the 961017 meeting, ref SDS 6
310919 - line 134. Actual payment will be based on actual yardage of debris
310920 - removed based on visual observation and measurement by COE during the
310921 - work, subject to reasonable challenge by Dutra.
310923 - ..
310924 - Based on discussions with Dutra, COE expects the work operation may
310925 - consist of a dredge, dredging scows and other equipment, such as flat
310926 - barges, as Dutra determines is needed to load piling and other debris
310927 - found to be in excess of the requirements of para 02480 para 9, ref
310928 - SDS 6 line 210. Since the extent and location of debris is unknown,
310929 - using dredging scows for material suitable for disposal at Galbraith,
310930 - will enable Dutra to maintain consistent use of the dredge without
310931 - concern about encountering material suitable for disposal at
310932 - Galbraith, and/or commingling it with debris to be paid at a price
310933 - under this RFP significantly higher than the contract price for
310934 - dredging, due to increased handling and possibly reduced production
310935 - rate relative to that for dredging contract pay item work.
310937 - ..
310938 - To the extent Dutra estimates its production on dredging suitable
310939 - material under this RFP will be impacted, it can include the cost for
310940 - this impact in the cost for removing debris.
310942 - ..
310943 - Therefore, COE expects to request Dutra's pricing for the following
310944 - new pay item:
310945 -
310946 -
310947 - Remove debris in Todd and Schnitzer Wings Tons
310948 - above requirements of 02480 para 9 ----
310949 -
310951 - ..
310952 - At the meeting on 961017 Dutra raised a variety of options and
310953 - complexities in disposing of the debris and disposing of suitable
310954 - material at Galbraith, including separating material. Under this
310955 - proposed RFP, Dutra can determine the most economical solution,
310956 - subject to review by COE for reasonableness.
310958 - ..
310959 - Ideas considered on reasonableness were then discussed, as follows...
310960 -
310961 -
310963 - ..
310964 - COE Recognizes Advantages of Separating Debris at Galbraith
310965 -
310966 - Glen Chafey reported investigation indicating separation can be
310967 - performed at the Liberty Off-loader with specialized equipment in
310968 - order to minimize duplicate handling and hauling material to
310969 - Galbraith.
310971 - ..
310972 - Bill Dutra observed the logic of this approach is sound to a point.
310974 - ..
310975 - There was discussion about San Franciscan sand cannot pass through
310976 - grates. Creosote piles may penetrate into clay. Sorting debris
310977 - presents a challenge.
310978 -
310980 - ..
310981 - Changed Material Encountered - "Gumbo"
310982 - New Information Indicates Revised Dutra Work Operation
310983 -
310984 - Bill Dutra advised of progress Dutra has made identifying the possible
310985 - scope of debris removal based on new information from the Port of
310986 - Oakland, per discussion with Rob Andrews at the meeting on 961015....
310987 - ref SDS 4 line 366.
310989 - ..
310990 - Bill feels identifying scope is 95% complete. He indicated this
310991 - warrants using a cheaper piece of equipment, and disposing of the
310992 - debris in the Redwood Land Fill. It was unclear if disposal could be
310993 - accomplished by barge, or by truck, as discussed at the 961017
310994 - meeting. If debris is disposed by barge, then payment can be by CY
310995 - instead of by ton, which seems to be more applicable to a trucking
310996 - operation. COE is agreeable to using cheaper, and more effective
310997 - equipment, however, it is Dutra's responsibility to select an
310998 - economical mix of resources for the work under all of the
310999 - circumstances involved.
311000 - ..
311001 - Bill cited the potential for the debris to contain a wide
311002 - variety of elements including wood, concrete, steel piles.
311004 - ..
311005 - Bob Johnston called this mixture "gumbo."
311007 - ..
311008 - Such potential is consistent with the original understanding that,
311009 - having encountered complex materials, i.e., "gumbo," it is not
311010 - possible to formulate a work operation predicated on encountering a
311011 - single type of debris within finite contiguous regions, other than by
311012 - making general assumptions based on data from the Port of Oakland
311013 - archives reviewed this morning, that show evidence of prior structures
311014 - where none are presently observable from above water. Whether this
311015 - site was used previously as a dump, formal or otherwise at different
311016 - times over the past 100 years and thus presents a layered environment
311017 - of debris and mud, is unknown, but possible based on the material
311018 - removed to date.
311019 -
311020 - [See follow up on spec requirements. ref SDS 8 4933]
311022 - ..
311023 - A variety of disposal scenarios were considered in addition to those
311024 - identified by Glen.
311026 - ..
311027 - Bill proposed setting up a separate debris removal operation,
311028 - consistent with COE intent under the above pay item being considered
311029 - by COE.
311030 -
311031 -
311033 - ..
311034 - Avoiding Commingling Contract Dredging with Debris Removal
311035 -
311036 - There was discussion that using dredging scows for contract dredge
311037 - material in conjunction with the debris removal operation, will enable
311038 - the contractor's dredge to continually work, rather than having to
311039 - place suitable material in the debris barge, or alternatively drop it
311040 - back in the water and then dredge it again, in the event a bucket load
311041 - of suitable material is encountered.
311043 - ..
311044 - Indeed it seems likely that the depth of debris will vary across the
311045 - work area, so that at some locations there will necessarily be greater
311046 - concentrations of debris than at other locations in the target work
311047 - areas. Having the two scows available at all times enables the work
311048 - to proceed at full force under all contingencies.
311050 - ..
311051 - Bob Johnston indicated there may be aspects of the work which make
311052 - this method less economical than using a single barge for debris
311053 - removal until that operation is determined to be completed, then
311054 - commencing contract dredging.
311055 - ..
311056 - Contract section 02480 para 9 requires the contractor to perform
311057 - debris removal as part of the price for contract dredging, so Dutra
311058 - should submit its explanation of distinguishing this operation from
311059 - the requirements of this contract provision.
311061 - ..
311062 - Dutra requested another day to analyze the new information provided by
311063 - the Port and to formulate its approach. Dutra will submit its views
311064 - to COE tomorrow, 961023, and thereafter COE will issue an RFP.

340619 - ..
340620 - There was discussion that there are several classes of such obstacles:
340621 -
340622 - 1. The floating dock has a long history of a presence at its
340623 - location which may result in delayed relocation. Options to
340624 - accommodate this delay include delaying work in this region;

340632 - reported another ship is now in the way, though possibly in

340636 - This is a dynamic condition which requires coordination with
