expense to the Owner. The warranty and guaranty, as provided for in this paragraph, are

expense to the Contractor. (It is understood, however, that the Contractor shall return all
specifically ordered materials if the Owner agrees in writing to reimburse the Contractor
for all of the latter's costs and expenses incurred in so returning the materials.) The

PROJECT SPECIAL PROVISIONS
These Special Provisions form a part of the Contract Documents as indicated hereafter.
A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The work in this contract provides for Airfield Security and Lighting Improvements at the
Augusta-Daniel Field.
B. SEQUENCE OF CONSTRUCTION
Work is scheduled to begin in the Spring of 2008. During this time, the airfield will
remain open to aircraft traffic. The Contractor may be required to remove men and
equipment from the areas adjacent to the runway during times of arriving and departing
aircraft.
C. PROJECT AREA ACCESS
The Contractor shall utilize a haul route on airport property as located on the
ponstruction Safety Plan. At no time will construction equipment be allowed on the
active portions of the runway, terminal area, hangars, and apron areas. The Contractor
will be required to park his equipment and stockpile materials in the areas indicated on
the Safety Plan. All areas disturbed outside of the normal construction limits as shown
on the Plans shall be grassed and returned to their original condition at the expense of
the Contractor.
The Contractor shall take all necessary measures as may be required to insure that no
unauthorized personnel gain entry onto the airport property. Such measures shall
include, as a minimum, the posting of security personnel at the access gate at all times
while the Contractor is working.
It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to provide barricades, flagmen, fencing, gates,
and security as required, and take all necessary precautions to allow only authorized
vehicles and personnel into the construction area.
Upon completion of the work as set forth in these plans and specifications, the
Contractor will be required to restore any areas damaged during construction to its
original condition, or as directed by the Engineer. Grassing shall be as set forth in
these specifications. No separate pay item will be authorized for establishing,
maintaining, securing, and restoration for the access to and from the project site. All
work-related items covered by this section shall be paid for at the contract lump sum bid
price for Mobilization.
SP-2
D. RADIO COMMUNICATION REQUIREMENTS
The Contractor shall coordinate all movements to and from the work areas through the
Airport Representative. Likewise, any activity in areas adjacent to active runways and
taxiways shall be coordinated with the FBO. Coordination shall be by radio
communication when necessary between the Contractor's supeNisor on site and the
FBO.
E. DUST CONTROL
It is the intent of these specifications that the Contractor will, by watering, chemicals,
vegetation, or other means, prevent the occurrence of dust which will be objectionable
to the residents of the area or violate existing laws or regulations or cause hazards to
air traffic.
F. TEMPORARY BARRICADES
The Contractor shall provide barricades with flashing lights spaced not more than 15
feet apart across or along the pavement edge where work abuts active
runways/taxiways where indicated on the plans. The barricades shall be fastened to
the existing pavement by means of wire straps around the barricades and anchored to
the pavement with nails. They shall be anchored in such a manner as to prevent
aircraft blasts from overturning them. The Contractor shall maintain the lights and
barricades to an operable manner for the duration of the work. Upon removal of the
barricades, the pavements shall be restored to their original condition. The cost of
providing and removing the barricades along with pavement restoration shall be
incidental to the bid item for mobilization and not a separate pay item.
G. PROTECTION OF EXISTING FACILITIES
All existing facilities will be carefully protected by the Contractor. Any facilities damaged
by the Contractor will be repaired immediately and restored to original condition. All
runway lights, taxiway lights, signs and structures to remain shall be protected by
suitable means.
H. NIGHT WORK
It is not anticipated that this project will require any nighttime construction. Should the
Contractor desire such activities, the Engineer should be notified in writing 14 days in
advance for coordination.
I. SAFETY ON THE AIRPORT DURING CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY
SP-3
1. Construction Activity and Aircraft Movements: During the time that the
Contractor is performing the work contained herein, the FBO's, the aprons,
taxiways and runways at the airport will remain in use by aircraft, except as
provided herein. To the extent feasible and convenient in the opinion of the
Sponsor's Engineer, and to the extent permitted by the Federal Aviation
Administration, the use by aircraft of runways and taxiways adjacent to areas
where the Contractor is working, will be so scheduled as to reduce disturbance to
the Contractor's operations. Aircraft operations, unless otherwise specified in
the contract specifications, shall always have priority over any and all of the
Contractor's operations, and the Contractor shall not allow his employees,
subcontractors, material men or any other persons over whom he has control, to
enter or remain upon or allow any plant or materials to be brought or to remain
upon any part of the airport which, in the opinion of the Engineer, would be a
hazardous location. Should aprons, runways or taxiways be required for use of
aircraft, and should the Engineer deem the Contractor to be too close to the
portion used by aircraft for safety, he may in his sole discretion, order the
Contractor to suspend his operations, remove his personnel, plant, equipment
and materials to a safe distance and stand by until the runway and taxiways are
no longer required for use by aircraft.
2. Construction Activity in the Vicinity of NaviQational Aids: Construction activity in
the vicinity of FAA navigational aids (i.e. ILS, VOR, ASR, PAPI's, AWOS)
requires special consideration. Prospective bidders shall be alerted to this fact
by the incorporating language requiring close coordination with the local Airway
Facilities Sector as a condition of bid.
J. PROTECTION OF CABLES, CONTROLS, NA V AIDS AND WEATHER BUREAU
FACILITIES
1. The Contractor is hereby informed that there may be installed on the airport FAA
NAVAIDS, including, without limitation, ASR, UHF, and VHF Receivers and
Transmitters, weather facilities and other electric power cables serving other
facilities. Such NAVAIDS, Weather Data Instruments and other facilities, and
electric cables must be fully protected during the entire construction time. Work
under this contract can be accomplished in the vicinity of these facilities and
cables only at approved periods of time, which approval is subject to withdrawal
at any time because of changes in the weather, emergency conditions on the
existing airfield areas, anticipation of emergency conditions and for any other
reason as determined by the Engineers acting under the orders and instructions
of the Airport Management and/or designated FAA representative. Any
instructions to this Contractor to clear any given area, at any time, by the
Engineer, the FBO or their representative (by radio or other means) shall be
immediately executed. Construction work will be commenced in the cleared area
only when additional instructions are issued by the proper authorities.
2. Power and control cables leading to and from any FAA NAVAIDS, Weather Data
Equipment and other facilities will be marked in the field by the Owner for the
SP-4
i
I
information of the Contractor, before any work in their general vicinity is started.
Thereafter, through the entire time of this construction they shall be protected
from any possible damage, including crossing with unauthorized equipment, etc.
3.
These special provisions intent to make perfectly clear the need for protection of
FAA NAVAIOS, Weather Data Equipment and other facilities and cables by this
Contractor at all times.
4.
The Contractor shall immediately repair, with identical material by skilled
workmen, any underground cables serving FAA NAVAIOS, Weather Data
Equipment and other airport facilities, which are damaged by his workmen,
equipment or work. Prior approval of the FAA must be obtained for the
materials, workmen, time of day or night, method of repairs, for any temporary or
permanent repairs the Contractor proposes to make to any FAA NAVAl OS,
Weather Data facilities or other cables and controls serving such NAVAIOS and
facilities damaged by the Contractor.
Prior approval of the Engineer or of the representative designated by the Airport
Management must be obtained for the materials, workmen, time of day or night,
method of repairs, for any temporary or permanent repairs the Contractor
proposes to make to any other airport facilities and cables damaged by this
Contractor.
5. It is recognized that the Owner will incur costs for employee's salaries,
engineering fees, and otherwise in connection with the damage and inspection
and repair of any such damage, caused by the Contractor; and, consequently,
the Owner may incur loss of income by reason of the diversion of aircraft traffic
from the airport resulting from interruption of the use of airport facilities; and that
such expenses and loss of income are not measurable now and may not be
reasonably ascertainable at the time of any incident caused by this Contractor.
The Owner and the Contractor hereby agree to the assessment of liquidated
damages in lieu of such expenses of other damages incurred by the Owner. In
addition to the obligation of this Contractor to immediately repair any cables or
facilities damaged by the Contractor, as set forth above; for each incident where
cables are located within five feet of the position defined on the ground and are
cut or damaged and the facility served by cables which are cut or damaged is not
able to perform its required function resulting in the diversion of aircraft or the
interruption of the normal flow of air traffic and aircraft operations on the airport,
the sum of $2.000.00 shall be deducted from any money due the Contractor, or if
no money is due the Contractor, the Owner shall have the right to recover said
sum or sums from the Contractor, from the surety, or from both. The amount of
these deductions are to cover liquidated damages to the Sponsor incurred by
additional and other expenses and damages arising from the incident or
incidents caused by the Contractor, and such deductions are not to be
considered as penalties.

have the right to make such alterations in the work as may be necessary or desirable to
complete the work originally intended in an acceptable manner. Unless otherwise
specified herein, the Engineer shall be and is hereby authorized to make such
alterations in the work as may increase or decrease the originally awarded contract
quantities, provided that the aggregate of such alterations does not change the total
contract cost or the total cost of any major contract item by more than 25 percent (total
cost being based on the unit prices and estimated quantities in the awarded contract).
Alterations that do not exceed the 25 percent limitation shall not invalidate the contract
nor release the surety, and the Contractor agrees to accept payment for such
alterations as if the altered work had been a part of the original contract. These
alterations that are for work within the general scope of the contract shall be covered by
"'Change Orders" issued by the Engineer. Change orders for altered work shall include
extensions of contract time where, in the Engineer's opinion, such extensions are
commensurate with the amount and difficulty of added work.
Should the aggregate amount of altered work exceed the 25 percent limitation
hereinbefore specified, such excess altered work shall be covered by supplemental
agreement. If the owner and the Contractor are unable to agree on a unit price
adjustment for any contract item that requires a supplemental agreement, the owner
reserves the right to terminate the contract with respect to the item and make other
arrangements for its completion.
40-03 OMITTED ITEMS. The Engineer may, in the Owner's best interest, omit reduce
or eliminate from the work any contract item, except major contract items. Major
contract items may be reduced in quantity but not omitted from the contract except by a

If the Engineer finds the materials furnished, work performed, or the finished product not
~ithin reasonably close conformity with the plans and specifications but that the portion
of the work affected will, in his/her opinion, result in a finished product having a level of
safety, economy, durability, and workmanship acceptable to the Owner, he will advise
the Owner of his/her determination that the affected work be accepted and remain in
place. In this event, the Engineer will document his/her determination and recommend
to the Owner a basis of acceptance that will provide for an adjustment in the contract
price for the affected portion of the work. The Engineer's determination and
recommended contract price adjustments will be based on good engineering judgment
and such tests or retests of the affected work as are, in his/her opinion, needed.
Changes in the contract price shall be covered by contract modifications (change order
or supplemental agreement) as applicable.
If the Engineer finds the materials furnished, work performed, or the finished product are
not in reasonably close conformity with the plans and specifications and have resulted
in an unacceptable finished product, the affected work or materials shall be removed
and replaced or otherwise corrected by and at the sole expense of the Contractor in
accordance with the Engineer's written orders.
For the purpose of this subsection, the term "reasonably close conformity" shall not be
construed as waiving the Contractor's responsibility to complete the work in accordance
with the contract, plans, and specifications. The term shall not be construed as waiving
the Engineer's responsibility to insist on strict compliance with the requirements of the

contract price will be considered unless a claim is so made. The Contractor
acknowledges that claims in contract price and/or monetary damages withheld from the
Owner or Engineer by the Contractor until or nearing the completion of the contract
work beyond the aforementioned fifteen day notification period shall not be valid or
considered for additional compensation. The Engineer shall decide, subject to the
approval of the Owner, whether an increase in contract price is warranted. Any change
in the contract price resulting from any such claim shall be incorporated in a change
order or Supplemental Agreement. If such notification is not given or the Engineer is
not afforded proper opportunity by the Contractor for keeping strict account of actual
cost as required, then the Contractor hereby agrees to waive any claim for such

operational regulations and, in the opinion of the Engineer, does not perform his work in
a proper and skillful manner or is intemperate or disorderly shall, at the written request
of the Engineer, be removed forthwith by the Contractor or subcontractor employing
such person, and shall not be employed again in any portion of the work without
approval of the Engineer.
Should the Contractor fail to remove such persons or person, or fail to furnish suitable
and sufficient personnel for the proper prosecution of the work, the Engineer may
suspend the work by written notice until compliance with such orders.
All equipment that is proposed to be used on the work shall be of sufficient size and in
such mechanical condition as to met requirements of the work and to produce a
satisfactory quality of work. Equipment used on any portion of the work shall be such
that no injury to previously completed work, adjacent property, or existing airport
facilities will result from its use.
When the methods and equipment to be used by the Contractor in accomplishing the
work are not prescribed in the contract, the Contractor is free to use any methods or
equipment that will accomplish the work in conformity with the requirements of the
contract, plans, and specifications.
When the contract specifies the use of certain methods and equipment, such methods
and equipment shall be used unless others are authorized by the Engineer. If the

(5) The Contractor will be allowed 1 week in which to file a written protest setting
forth his/her objections to the Engineer's weekly statement. If no objection is filed within
such specified time, the weekly statement shall be considered as acceptable and
binding to the remaining contract days allowed to the Contractor.
The contract time (stated in the proposal) is based on the originally estimated quantities
as described in the subsection titled INTERPRETATION OF ESTIMATED PROPOSAL
QUANTITIES of Section 20. Should the satisfactory completion of the contract require
performance of work in greater quantities than those estimated in the proposal, the
contract time may be increased by the Engineer in the same proportion to the actual
completed quantities when compared to the originally estimated quantities in the
proposal, provided said work involves items or activities noted on the Contractors
critical path for completing the work. Such increase in contract time shall not consider
either the cost of work or the extension of contract time that has been covered by
change order or supplemental agreement and shall be made at the time of final
payment.
b. CONTRACT TIME based on CALENDAR DAYS shall consist of the number of
calendar days stated in the proposal counting from the effective date of the notice to
proceed and including all Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, and nonwork days. All
calendar days elapsing between the effective dates of the Owner's orders to suspend
and resume all work, due to causes not the fault of the Contractor, shall be excluded.
At the time of final payment, the contract time shall be increased in the same proportion
as the cost of the actually completed quantities bears to the cost of the originally
estimated quantities in the proposal. Such increase in the contract time shall not

manner.
Should the Engineer consider the Contractor in default of the contract for any reason
hereinbefore, he shall immediately give written notice to the Contractor and the
Contractor's surety as to the reasons for considering the Contractor in default and the
Owner's intentions to terminate the contract.
If the Contractor or surety, within a period of 10 days after such notice, does not
proceed in accordance therewith, then the Owner will, upon written notification from the
Engineer of the facts of such delay, neglect, or default and the Contractor's failure to
comply with such notice, have full power and authority without violating the contract, to
take the prosecution of the work out of the hands of the Contractor. The Owner may
appropriate or use any or all materials and equipment that have been mobilized for use
in the work and are acceptable and may enter into an agreement for the completion of
said contract according to the terms and provisions thereof, or use such other methods
as in the opinion of the Engineer will be required for the completion of said contract in
an acceptable manner.
All costs and charges incurred by the Owner, together with the cost of completing the
work under contract, will be deducted from any monies due or which may become due
the Contractor. If such expense exceeds the sum which would have been payable

MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT
90-01 MEASUREMENT OF QUANTITIES. All work completed under the contract will
be measured by the Engineer, or his/her authorized representatives, using United
States Customary Units of Measurement or the International System of Units.
The method of measurement and computations to be used in determination of
quantities of material furnished and of work performed under the contract will be those
methods generally recognized as conforming to good engineering practice.
Unless otherwise specified, longitudinal measurements for area computations will be
made horizontally, and no deductions will be made for individual fixtures (or leave-outs)
having an area of 9 square feet or less. Unless otherwise specified, transverse
measurements for area computations will be the neat dimensions shown on the plans or
ordered in writing by the Engineer.
Structures will be measured according to neat lines shown on the plans or as altered to
fit field conditions.
Unless otherwise specified, all contract items which are measured by the linear foot
such as electrical ducts, conduits, pipe culverts, underdrains, and similar items shall be
measured parallel to the base or foundation upon which such items are placed.
In computing volumes of excavation the average end area method or other acceptable
methods will be used.
The thickness of plates and galvanized sheet used in the manufacture of corrugated
metal pipe, metal plate pipe culverts and arches, and metal cribbing will be specified
and measured in decimal fraction of inches.
The term "ton" will mean the short ton consisting of 2,000 pounds avoirdupois. All
materials that are measured or proportioned by weights shall be weighed on accurate,
approved scales by competent, qualified personnel at locations designed by the
Engineer. If material is shipped by rail, the car weight may be accepted provided that
only the actual weight of material is paid for. However, car weights will not be
acceptable for material to be passed through mixing plants. Trucks used to haul
material being paid for by weight shall be weighed empty daily at such times as the
Engineer directs, and each truck shall bear a plainly legible identification mark.
Materials to be measured by volume in the hauling vehicle shall be hauled in approved
vehicles and measured therein at the point of delivery. Vehicles for this purpose may
be of any size or type acceptable to the Engineer, provided that the body is of such
shape that the actual contents may be readily and accurately determined. All vehicles
shall be loaded to at least their water level capacity, and all loads shall be leveled when
the vehicles arrive at the point of delivery.

scales shall be installed and maintained with the platform level and rigid bulkheads at
each end.
Scales "overweighing" (indicating more than correct weight) will not be permitted to
operate, and all materials received subsequent to the last previous correct weighting-
accuracy test will be reduced by the percentage of error in excess of one-half of 1
percent.
In the event inspection reveals the scales have been "underweighing" (indicating less
than correct weight), they shall be adjusted, and no additional payment to the
Contractor will be allowed for materials previously weighed and recorded.
All costs in connection with furnishing, installing, certifying, testing, and maintaining
scales; for furnishing check weights and scale house; and for all other items specified in
this subsection, for the weighing of materials for proportioning or payment, shall be
included in the unit contract prices for the various items of the project.
When the estimated quantities for a specific portion of the work are designated as the
pay quantities in the contract, they shall be the final quantities for which payment for
such specific portion of the work will be made, unless the dimensions of said portions of
the work shown on the plans are revised by the Engineer. If revised dimensions result
in an increase or decrease in the quantities of such work, the final quantities for
payment will be revised in the amount represented by the authorized changes in the
dimensions.

SECTION 110
METHOD OF ESTIMATING PERCENTAGE OF MATERIAL
WITHIN SPECIFICATION LIMITS (PWL)
110-01 GENERAL. When the specifications provide for acceptance of material based
on the method of estimating percentage of material within specification limits (PWL), the
PWL will be determined in accordance with this section. All test results for a lot will be
analyzed statistically to determine the total estimated percent of the lot that is within
specification limits. The PWL is computed using the sample average (X) and sample
standard deviation (Sn) of the specified number (n) of sublots for the lot and the
specification tolerance limits, L for lower and U for upper, for the particular acceptance
parameter. From these values, the respective Quality index(s), QL for Lower Quality
Index and/or Qu for Upper Quality Index, is computed and the PWL for the lot for the
specified n is determined from Table 1. All specification limits specified in the technical
sections shall be absolute values. Test results used in the calculations shall be to the
significant figure given in the test procedure.
There is some degree of uncertainty (risk) in the measurement for acceptance because
only a small fraction of production material (the population) is sampled and tested. This
uncertainty exists because all portions of the production material have the same
probability to be randomly sampled. The Contractor's risk is the probability that material
produced at the acceptable quality level is rejected or subjected to a pay adjustment.
The Owner's risk is the probability that material produced at the rejectable quality level
is accepted.
IT IS THE INTENT OF THIS SECTION TO INFORM THE CONTRACTOR THAT, IN
ORDER TO CONSISTENTLY OFFSET THE CONTRACTOR'S RISK FOR MATERIAL
EVALUATED, PRODUCTION QUALITY (USING POPULATION AVERAGE AND
POPULATION STANDARD DEVIATION) MUST BE MAINTAINED AT THE
ACCEPTABLE QUALITY SPECIFIED OR HIGHER. IN ALL CASES, IT IS THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONTRACTOR TO PRODUCE AT QUALITY LEVELS
THAT WILL MEET THE SPECIFIED ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA WHEN SAMPLED AND
TESTED AT THE FREQUENCIES SPECIFIED.
110-02 METHOD FOR COMPUTING PWL. The computational sequence for
computing PWL is as follows:
a. Divide the lot into n sublots in accordance with the acceptance requirements of
the specification.
b. Locate the random sampling position within the sublot in accordance with the
requirements of the specification.
c. Make a measurement at each location, or take a test portion and make the
measurement on the test portion in accordance with the testing requirements of the
specification.
d. Find the sample average (X) for all sublot values within the lot by using the
following formula:

Test Item: Item P-401, Lot A.
A. PWL Determination for Mat Density.
1. Density of four random cores taken from Lot A.
A-1 96.60
A-2 97.55
A-3 99.30
A-4 98.35
n=4
2. Calculate average density for the lot.
x = (x1 + x2 + x3 + . . .xn) / n
X = (96.60 + 97.55 + 99.30 + 98.35) /4
X = 97.95 percent density
3. Calculate the standard deviation for the lot.
Sn = [((96.60 - 97.95)2 + (97.55 - 97.95)2 +(99.30 -97.95)2 + (98.35 -97.95)2)) / (4
_ 1 )]1/2
Sn = [(1.82 + 0.16 + 1.82 + 0.16) /3]1/2
Sn = 1.15
4. Calculate the Lower Quality Index QL for the lot. (L=96.3)
QL = (X -L) / Sn
QL = (97.95 - 96.30) /1.15
QL = 1 .4348

A-2 97.55
A-1 96.60
2. Use n=4 and upper 5 percent significance level of to find the critical value for test
criterion = 1.463.
3. Use average density, standard deviation, and test criterion value to evaluate
density measurements.
a. For measurements greater than the average:
If: (measurement - average)/(standard deviation) is less than test criterion,
Then: the measurement is not considered an outlier
for A-3 Check if ( 99.30 - 97.95 ) /1.15 greater than 1.463
1.174 is less than 1.463, the value is not an outlier
b. For measurements less than the average:
If (average - measurement)/(standard deviation) is less than test criterion,
the measurement is not considered an outlier
for A-1 Check if (97.95 - 96.60) /1.15 greater than 1.463
1.0 is less than 1.463, the value is not an outlier
NOTE: In this example, a measurement would be considered an outlier if the
density was:
greater than (97.95+1.463x1.15) = 99.63 percent or,
less than (97.95-1.463x1.15) = 96.27 percent

NUCLEAR GAGES
120-01 TESTING. When the specifications provide for nuclear gage acceptance
testing of material for Items P-152, P-154, P-208, and P-209, the testing shall be
performed in accordance with this section. At each sampling location, the field density
shall be determined in accordance with ASTM D 2922 using the Direct Transmission
Method. The nuclear gage shall be calibrated in accordance with Annex A 1. Calibration
and operation of the gage shall be in accordance with the requirements of the
manufacturer. The operator of the nuclear gage must show evidence of training and
experience in the use of the instrument. The gage shall be standardized daily in
accordance with ASTM D 2922, paragraph 8.
Use of ASTM D 2922 results in a wet unit weight, and when using this method, ASTM D
3017 shall be used to determine the moisture content of the material. The moisture
gage shall be standardized daily in accordance with ASTM D 3017, paragraph 7.
The material shall be accepted on a lot basis. Each Lot shall be divided into eight (8)
sublots when ASTM D 2922 is used.
120-02. When PWL concepts are incorporated, compaction shall continue until a PWL
of 90 percent or more is achieved using the lower specification tolerance limits (L)
Below.
The percentage of material within specification limits (PWL) shall be determined In
accordance with the procedures specified in Section 110 of the General Provisions.
The lower specification tolerance limit (L) for density shall be:
Specification Item Number Specification Tolerance (L) for Density, (percent of
laboratory maximum)
Item P-152 90.5 for cohesive material, 95.5 for non-cohesive
Item P-154 95.5
Item P-208 97.0
Item P-209 97.0
If the PWL is less than 90 percent, the lot shall be reworked and recompacted by the
Contractor at the Contractor's expense. After reworking and recompaction, the lot shall
be resampled and retested. Retest results for the lot shall be reevaluated for
acceptance. This procedure shall continue until the PWL is 90 percent or greater.
120-03 VERIFICATION TESTING. (For Items P-152 and P-154 only.) The Engineer
will verify the maximum laboratory density of material placed in the field for each lot. A
minimum of one test will be made for each lot of material at the site. The verification
process will consist of; (1) compacting the material and determining the dry density and
moisture-density in accordance with ASTM D 1557 for aircraft gross weights 60,000
