includes but is not limited to: removing existing damaged dolphin piles at locations shown on the

disposal of all removed piles. All materials, labor, tools, rigging and equipment necessary to perform

field verify all dimensions and site conditions essential for the successful completion of the work. The

Contractor shall not be entitled to any additional compensation for any work or expense resulting

from the neglect of verifying all existing site conditions.

All Contractors submitting bids are to carefully examine the site of the proposed work and thoroughly

review the contract requirements prior to submission of a bid proposal. Each Bidder shall satisfy

oneself as to the character, quality, and quantities of work to be performed, and as to the

requirements of the proposed contract. The submission of a proposal shall be proof that the bidding

Contractor has made such examination and is satisfied as to the conditions to be encountered in

The Contractor shall comply with all Federal and State laws, local ordinances and regulations, and all

orders and decrees of bodies or tribunals having any jurisdiction or authority, which in any manner

affect those engaged or employed on the work, or which in any way affect the conduct of the work.

The Alabama Port Authority will utilize its sales tax exemption status on this project.

The Contractor will be responsible for the purchase of all materials and will be required to apply for a

sales and use tax certificate of exemption upon contract award.

Following receipt of “Notice to Proceed,” the Contractor will be required to furnish proof of purchase

of materials within 10 calendar days and supply a schedule for the work. The Contractor will be

required to complete all on-site work under the Contract within 30 calendar days after commencing

work. The work will have to be scheduled and performed in a manner that will not interfere with the

operations of McDuffie Terminal in the immediate and adjacent areas. APA intent is that work hours

will be during normal daylight hours.

The Alabama State Docks is a full-time operating facility; operating 24 hours a day, 365 days a year,

including nights, weekends and holidays. The Contractor will be required to coordinate work with

barge fleet operations as necessary to facilitate barge staging. Coal barges are moved in and out of

the area on a daily basis. The contractor is responsible for working diligently to minimize any

disruption and avoid unnecessary delays. The Contractor is responsible for the disposal of all waste

materials associated with the work.

The Contractor shall place a competent superintendent on the Project who shall have experience in

the work being performed under the Contract. The assigned superintendent shall have the

responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the work and shall remain on the Project site while the

work under the Contract is being performed. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to become

familiar with all conditions affecting the nature and manner of the work.

The Contractor will agree to comply with the safety rules, standards and regulations of the Federal

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) applicable to each of its operations, and to

those established and recommended safety standards inherent in the industry; and to comply with

U.S. Coast Guard regulations applicable to waterfront facilities and the policies of the Alabama Port

Authority while occupying any property of the Alabama Port Authority.

Time is an essential element in the contract. As the prosecution of the work will inconvenience the

terminal and interfere with business, it is important that the work be pressed vigorously to

completion. Also, the cost to the Alabama Port Authority of the administration of the contract,

supervision, inspection and engineering will be increased as the time occupied in the work is

lengthened. Therefore, exclusive of Sundays and national holidays, for each day that the work

remains incomplete after the time specified, an amount of $500.00 shall be paid by the contractor to

the Alabama Port Authority as liquidated damages for the loss sustained by the State because of

failure of the contractor to complete the work within the specified time.
