SPUD WINCH PERFORMANCE Sample Clauses

SPUD WINCH PERFORMANCE. Each spud winch system shall be capable of developing a full drum single line sufficient to raise the spud at a minimum line speed of 60 ft./min. The Contractor shall determine the required line pull based on the weight of the spud and the efficiencies of the lifting system as designed during Phase II. The line pull shall increase to twice the required force determined by the Contractor, at or near zero line speed, to assist in removing the spuds buried in the bottom soil. This near zero speed condition typically results in a motor torque value that would exceed the rating of a motor that is only sized based on the weight of the spud to be moved at 60 ft./min. As such, the motor shall be sized and selected considering both operating conditions. Each winch shall have a minimum drum capacity determined by the Contractor. The Contractor shall size the drum capacity to allow the spud to travel the full range through the barge. There shall be 5 wraps of wire rope left on the drum with the spud in the full down position. The wire rope shall be of sufficient size and strength for the application. The ratio of barrel drum diameter to wire rope diameter shall not be less than fourteen. The design shall ensure easy spud line replacement. The spud winches shall have infinitely variable speed power up and power down, and a near free fall lowering capability. The winches shall be equipped with brakes rated at twice the spud dry weight of holding force. The brakes shall automatically set when: • there is any failure in the electric system powering the winch and • the control lever is in the center position. Unless moved by the operator, the winch control handle shall always be in the center position. In the near freefall mode, the winch shall be designed to automatically arrest the rotation of the drum in less than ¼ rotation of the drum once the spud hits the bottom, thereby preventing un-spooling of the wire. The spud winches shall also be provided with a weekend/unattended mode, consisting of a manually-operated jaw clutch capable of completely disconnecting the drum from the drive train, to permit wire to payout as river level rises. The system shall be kept under tension in order to prevent excessive slack wire should the river level fall.

  • Work Performance All work in performance of this Lease shall be done by skilled workers or mechanics and shall be acceptable to the RECO. The RECO may reject the Lessor’s workers 1) if such are unlicensed, unskilled, or otherwise incompetent, or 2) if such have demonstrated a history of either untimely or otherwise unacceptable performance in connection with work carried out in conjunction with either this contract or other Government or private contracts.

  • Excuse from Performance The Parties shall be excused from performing their respective obligations hereunder if they are prevented from so performing by reason of floods, earthquakes, other acts of nature, war, civil insurrection, riots, acts of any government (including judicial action), and other similar catastrophic events which are beyond the control of and not the fault of the Party claiming excuse from performance hereunder. Labor unrest, including but not limited to strike, work stoppage or slowdown, sick-out, picketing, or other concerted job action conducted by Contractor's employees or directed at Contractor is not an excuse from performance and Contractor shall be obligated to continue to provide service notwithstanding the occurrence of any or all of such events. The Party claiming excuse from performance shall, within two (2) Business Days after such Party has notice of such cause, give the other Party notice of the facts constituting such cause and asserting its claim to excuse under this Section. If either Party validly exercises its rights under this Section, the Parties hereby waive any claim against each other for any damages sustained thereby. The partial or complete interruption or discontinuance of Contractor's services caused by one or more of the events described in this Section shall not constitute a default by Contractor under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if Contractor is excused from performing its obligations hereunder for any of the causes listed in this Section for a period of thirty (30) calendar days or more, the SCWMA shall nevertheless have the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement by giving ten (10) calendar days notice to Contractor unless Contractor has demonstrated, by the thirtieth (30th) calendar day, to the satisfaction of the SCWMA that the Contractor will resume services no later than the sixtieth (60th) day following the date service was interrupted or discontinued by Contractor.

  • Excuse for Nonperformance or Delayed Performance Except with respect to defaults of subcontractors, Contractor/Vendor shall not be in default by reason of any failure in performance of this contract in accordance with its terms (including any failure by Contractor/Vendor to make progress in the prosecution of the work hereunder which endangers such performance) if Contractor/Vendor has notified the Commission or designee within 15 days after the cause of the delay and the failure arises out of causes such as: acts of God; acts of the public enemy; acts of the State and any other governmental entity in its sovereign or contractual capacity; fires; floods; epidemics; quarantine restrictions; strikes or other labor disputes; freight embargoes; or unusually severe weather. If the failure to perform is caused by the failure of a subcontractor to perform or to make progress, and if such failure arises out of causes similar to those set forth above, Contractor/Vendor shall not be deemed to be in default, unless the services to be furnished by the subcontractor were reasonably obtainable from other sources in sufficient time to permit Contractor to meet the contract requirements. Upon request of Contractor, the Commission or designee shall ascertain the facts and extent of such failure, and, if such officer determines that any failure to perform was occasioned by any one or more of the excusable causes, and that, but for the excusable cause, Contractor’s progress and performance would have met the terms of the contract, the delivery schedule shall be revised accordingly, subject to the rights of the State under the clause entitled (in fixed-price contracts, “Termination for Convenience,” in cost-reimbursement contracts, “Termination”). (As used in this Paragraph of this clause, the term “subcontractor” means subcontractor at any tier).
