The intent is that spoil material removed from each pond will first be placed in designated spoil stockpile areas. That work will be paid under "Common Excavation (Spoiled On-Site)". If the spoil areas fill up, then the Contractor will remove further spoils from the site and that work will be paid under "Common Excavation (Removed from Site)". The City plans to use their own personnel and equipment (one track hoe and two dump trucks) to begin removing spoil materials from the stockpile area(s) as soon as it is dry enough to do so. Their goal is to remove spoils while the Contractor is filling the spoil areas, which will continue to allow available spoil area for the contractor. If this is possible, it will result in all excavation being paid under ""Common Excavation (Spoiled On-Site)". We would like to receive feedback from bidders on this plan; is the current construction duration sufficient, will the contractor need to work on only one pond at a time, etc. It is intended that tree removal will be kept to a minimum where possible. The contractor is not to remove all trees around the ponds. Regarding pumping down or draining of ponds, we get large amounts of rain here and these ponds are capturing large drainage areas. Because of this, it's likely not feasible to pump down or drain them. However, it will be up to each bidder to determine if they want to try it. Be mindful of the construction time. No ditches tied to the ponds are to be filled in or blocked except as necessary for erosion control. Check dams and baffles are intended to be in the ditch(es) to control sediment and debris that may leave the pond during the dredging operations. Check dams and baffles are SWPPP measures and up to the contractor to properly implement to control sediment and pollutants from leaving the site. They may not be necessary if nothing leaves the pond
