Section 105 — Control of Material
105.01Source of Supply and Quality Requirements. Follow the requirements of FAR Clause 52.236- 5 Material and Workmanship. Select sources and submit acceptable material. Not ify the CO of proposed sources before delivery to the project to expedite material inspection and testing. Do not incorporate material requiring submittal into the work until approved. Material may be approved at the source of supply before delivery to the project. Provide source quality test results dated within 1 2 months from NTP . Approval of a material source does not constitute acceptance of material submitted from the source. If an approved source fails to supply acceptable material during the life of the project, further use of that source may be denied. Submit samples of material for source quality verification testing for material if requested. 105.02 Material Sources.
(a)Government -furnished sources. The Government will acquire the permits and rights to remove material from furnished sources identified in the contract and to use such property for a plant site and stockpiles. Comply with permits and written agreements acquired by the Government. Test r eports and available historical material data will be provided to the Contractor upon request. Do not perform work within a source until a source development plan is approved. Allow 7 days for approval. Include the following as applicable:
(1)Source development details. Include requirements in Sections 107, 157, 204, and 205;
(2)Restoration details. Include requirements in Sections 624, 625 , and 626; and
(3)Abandonment details. Perform work ne cessary to produce acceptable material including work required by the approved source development plan. The quality of material is generally acceptable. Variations in quality should be expected as it is not feasible to ascertain the quality of material for an entire deposit from exploratory samples. Determine the quantity, type of equipment, and work necessary and produce acceptable material to be incorporated in the work. Do not perform aggregate source quality tests when using Government- furnished sources . Perform QC sampling and testing according to the approved Contractor QCP in Section 153 and acceptance testing for the required Section of work. Allow the CO the opportunity to witness sampling and splitting of the test m aterial.
(b)Government -furnished material stockpile. The quality of the material in the stockpile has been preapproved unless otherwise noted and is considered acceptable for the application for which it has been designated. Perform QC sampling and testing according to the approved Contractor QCP in Section 153 and acceptance testing for the required Section of work. Allow the CO the opportunity to witness sampling and splitting of the test material.
(c)Contractor- located sources. The Contractor is responsible for Contractor- located material sources, including established commercial material sources. Use sources that fulfill the contr act 27 quantity and quality requirements. Determine the quantity, type of equipment, and work necessary to select and produce an acceptable material. Secure permits and clearances for use of the source and submit copies of the documents to the CO. Follow the environmental requirements of Subsection 107.10(d) . Submit available historical data indicating acceptable material can be produced from the source. Perform QC sampling and testing according to the approved Contractor QCP in Section 153, aggregate source quality tests, and acceptance testing for the required Section of work. Allow the CO the opportunity to witness sampling and splitting of the test material.
105.03Material Source Management. Notify the CO at least 1 4 days before starting operations in the source. Develop and operate according to the approved source development plan for Government- furnished sources or written agreement for Contractor- located sources. Before developing a material source, measure the sediment content of bodies of water adjacent to the work area that will receive drainage from the work area. P erform erosion and sediment control according to the source development plan and Section 157. Do not remove material measured in -place from borrow sources or Government -furnished stockpiles until initial ground survey measurements have been taken according to Subsection 152.05(j) and approved. Perform final ground survey measurements according to Subsection 152.05(j) . Dispose of rejected material in an approved manner.
105.04Handling and Storing Material. Handle and store material to preserve its quality and fitness for the work. Stored material approved before storage may again be inspected before use in the work. Locate stored material to facilitate prompt inspection . Use only approved portions of the right -of-way for storing material or equipment. Provide additional space as needed. Do not use private property for storage without written permission of the owner or lessee. Submit copies of agreements and documents. Provide security for stored material. Restore Government -furnished storage sites to their original condition.
105.05Use of Material Found in the Work. Stone, gravel, sand, or other material found in the excavation may be used for another pay item , if approved. If material found in the excavation is used for another pay item, material will be paid both as excavation and as the other pay item for which it is used. Replace excavation used with acceptable material at no additional cost to the Government. Excavate or remove material only from within the grading limits, as indicated by the slope and grade lines. The right to use and process mater ial found in the work excludes the use and processing of material for nongovernment contract work, except for the disposal of waste material. If the Contractor produces or processes more material from Government lands than the quantities required for the contract, the Government may:
(a)Take possession of the excess material and direct its use, paying the Contractor only for the cost of production; or
(b)Require removal of the material and restoration of the land to a satisfactory condition at no additional cost to the Government.
105.06Material Source Restoration. Restore Government- furnished sources according to the approved source development plan. Restack the unused portion of the Government- furnished stockpiles upon completion of the work at no additional cost to the Government. Do not measure restoration of material sources for payment.
