CONTRACTOR's failure so to report will constitute an ' acceptance of the other work as fit and proper for integration with CONTRACTOR's Work except for latent or nonapparent defects and deficiencies in the other work. Coordination: 1 7.4. If OWNER contracts with others for the performance of other work on the Project at the site, the person or organization who will have authority and responsibility for coordination of the activities among the ' various prime contractors will be identified in the Supplementary Conditions, and the specific matters to be covered by such authority and responsibility will be itemized, and the extent of such authority and responsibilities will be provided in the Supplementary Conditions.

PROFESSIONAL shall issue such written clarifications or interpretations of the Contract Documents (in the form of Drawings or otherwise) as may be determined necessary, or as reasonably requested by CONTRACTOR, which shall be consistent with or reasonably inferable from the overall intent of 1 the Contract Documents. If CONTRACTOR believes that a written clarification and interpretation entitles it to an increase in the Contract Price and /or Contract Time, CONTRACTOR may make a claim as provided for in Articles 11 or 12. 1 Authorized Variations in Work: 9.5. PROFESSIONAL may authorize minor variations in the Work from the requirements of the 1 Contract Documents which do not involve an adjustment in the Contract Price or the Contract Time and are consistent with the overall intent of the Contract Documents. These may be accomplished by a Field Order and will be binding on OWNER and also on CONTRACTOR who shall perform the Work involved promptly.

When functioning as interpreter and judge under paragraphs 9.10 and 9.11, PROFESSIONAL will not show partiality to OWNER or CONTRACTOR and will not be liable in connection with any interpretation t or decision rendered in good faith in such capacity. The rendering of a decision by PROFESSIONAL pursuant to paragraphs 9.10 and 9.11 with respect to any such claim, dispute or other matter (except any which have been waived by the making or acceptance of final payment as provided in paragraph 14.16) will be a condition precedent to any exercise by OWNER or CONTRACTOR of such rights or remedies as either may otherwise have under the Contract Documents or by Laws or Regulations in respect of any such claim, dispute or other matter. Limitations on PROFESSIONAL's Responsibilities: 9.13. Neither PROFESSIONAL's authority to act under this Article or elsewhere in the Contract Documents nor any decision made in good faith to exercise such authority shall give rise to any duty or 1 responsibility of PROFESSIONAL to CONTRACTOR, any Subcontractor, any of their agents or employees. 9.14. PROFESSIONAL shall not be responsible for the construction means, methods, techniques, 1 sequences, or procedures or the safety precautions and programs used. PROFESSIONAL shall not be responsible for CONTRACTOR's failure to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. 9.15.

No claim for an adjustment in the Contract Price will be valid if not submitted in accordance with this paragraph 11.2. ' 11.3. The value of any Work covered by a Change Order or of any claim for an adjustment in the Contract Price will be determined by the following procedures: 11.3.1. Designated Unit Price (Field Measure). CONTRACTOR and OWNER recognize and ' acknowledge that the quantities shown for those items designated in the Bid Proposal as unit price items are approximations prepared by OWNER for bid purposes and that the actual compensation payable to CONTRACTOR for the utilization of such items is based upon the application of unit prices to the actual ' quantities of items involved as measured in the field and required to complete the Work as originally defined in the Contract Documents. 11.3.2.

If the pricing methods specified in 11.3 are inapplicable, or if the parties are unable to agree on ' a price for the changed work, a reasonable price for the same shall be established by OWNER in accordance with 11.4 and 11.5. OWNER shall then process a unilateral Change Order, specifying the said reasonable price, in accordance with 11.4 through 11.6.

Water from the existing distribution system or other approved source of supply shall be made to ' flow at a constant, measured rate into the newly laid water main. In the absence of a meter, the rate may be approximated by methods such as placing a Pitot gauge in the discharge or measuring the time to fill a container of known volume. 1 3.3.1.2. At a point not more than 10 ft downstream from the beginning of the new main, water entering the new main shall receive a dose of chlorine fed at a constant rate such that the water will have not less than 3.30 mg /L chlorine residual. To assure that this concentration is provided, measure the chlorine concentration at regular intervals using appropriate chlorine test kits. 3.3.1.3. During the application of chlorine, valves shall be positioned so that the strong chlorine solution in ' the main being treated will not flow into water mains in active service. Chlorine application shall not cease until the entire main is filled with heavily chlorinated water. The chlorinated water shall be retained in the main for at least 24 hours, during which time all valves and hydrants in the treated section shall be operated to ensure disinfection of the appurtenances. ' 3.3.1.4. Direct -feed chlorinators, which operate solely from gas pressure in the chlorine cylinder, shall not be used for application of liquid chlorine. The preferred equipment for applying liquid chlorine is a ' solution -feed, vacuum - operated chlorinator and a booster pump. The vacuum - operated chlorinator mixes the chlorine gas in solution water; the booster pump injects the chlorine -gas solution into the main to be disinfected. Hypochlorite solutions may be applied to the water main with a gasoline or electrically powered chemical -feed pump designed for feeding chlorine solutions. Feed lines shall be of such ' material and strength as to safely withstand the corrosion caused by the concentrated chlorine solutions and the maximum pressures that may be created by the pumps. All connections shall be checked for tightness before the solution is applied to the main. 1 3.3.1.5. Highly chlorinated water shall not be released into the distribution system. The chlorinated water shall remain in the line until the chlorine residual drops below 5 PPM or dissipated by other prior approved method. After this period, the water will be wasted by pumping into the air to dissipate the ' remaining chlorine residual. Pumping shall be at a rate not to exceed 25 GPM.

END OF SECTION 1 1 I 02730 -10 March 2009 6 Street Sanitary Sewer Repair I WKD #70522.00.AG 1 1 2.4. Mulch ' Mulch shall be straw from wheat or oats. Materials for securing mulch may be one of the following. • Mulch Netting: Lightweight plastic, cotton, jute, wire orpaper nets shall be used. • Peg and Twine: filing twine and soft wood pegs 12'x 15( 12' ' • Liquid Mulch Eider: RC -2 cut back asphalt c onforming to the requirements of Federal Specifications SS- A67IA, and asphalt emulsion shall conform to the requirements of Federal Specification SS -A -674, Type V ' • Seed: Seed used shall conform to GDOT Specifications Section 80 Seed &Sod. Seed that has become wet, moldy, or otherwise damaged in transit or storage will not be acceptable. The seed used shall be that shown in seeding schedule specified herein or on the plans. 3. INSTALLATION 3.1. Seedbed Preparation 1 3.1.1. Clearing Prior to or during grading and tillage operations, the ground surface shall be well drained, cleared of all brush, roots, stones larger than 2 inches in diameter, or any other material which may hinder proper 1 grading, tillage, or subsequent maintenance operations. 3.1.2. Fine Grading ' Areas to be seeded shall be graded as shown on the drawings or as directed and all surfaces shall be left in an even and properly compacted condition so as to prevent the formation of depressions where water will stand. Areas to be topsoiled shall be graded to a smooth surface and to a grade that will allow topsoiling to finished grade. 3.1.3. Topsoiling Immediately prior to placing topsoil, the subgrade, where excessively compacted by traffic or other ' causes, shall be loosened by scarifying to a depth of at least 2 inches to permit bonding of the topsoil to the subgrade. Topsoil shall be uniformly spread by approved equipment in sufficient quantity to provide a compacted layer of 4 inches in thickness over the designated areas and in such manner that planting can proceed with little additional soil preparation or tillage. Topsoil shall not be placed when the subgrade is froen, excessively wet, extremely dry, or in a condi tion otherwise detrimental to the proposed planting or to proper grading. Topsoil shall be graded to the lines indicated or as directed and any irregularities in the surface resulting from topsoiling or other operations shall be corrected to prevent formations of ' depressions where water will stand. 3.1.4. Tillage After topsoiled areas required to be seeded have been brought to the grades shown on the plans and as ' specified, they shall be thoroughly tilled to a depth of 3 inches by approved methods, until the condition of the soil is acceptable to the ENGINEER. Any objectionable undulations or irregularities in the surface resulting from tillage or other operations shall be removed before planting operations are begun. The ' work shall be performed only during periods when satisfactory results are likely to be obtained. When conditions are such, by reason of drought, excessive moisture or other factors, that results are not likely to be satisfactory, the ENGINEER will stop the work and it shall be resumed only when, in his opinion, the desired results are likely to be obtained. 1 02933 -2 ' March 2009 6 Street Sanitary Sewer Repair WKD #70522.00.AG 1 1 1 3.4.3. Immediately after seed has been properly covered, the seedbed shall be compacted in the manner and degree approved by the ENGINEER. ' 3.5. Modifications When adverse seeding conditions are encountered due to steepness of slope, height of slope, or soil conditions, the ENGINEER may direct or permit that modifications be made in the above requirements ' which pertain to incorporating limestone into the seedbed; covering limestone, seed, and fertilier; and compaction of the seedbed. ' 3.5.1. Such modifications may include but not be limited to the following. 3.5.1.1. The incorporation of limestone into the seedbed may be omitted on (a) cut slopes steeper than 2:1 (b) on 2:1 cut slopes when a seedbed has been prepared during the excavation of the cut and is still ' in an acceptable condition;or (c) on areas of slopes w here the surface of the area is too rocky to permit the incorporation of the limestone. 1 3.5.1.2. The rates of application of limestone, fertilier, and seed on slopes 2:1 or steeper or on rocky surfaces may be reduced or eliminated. 3.5.1.3. Compaction after seeding may be reduced or eliminated on slopes 2:1 or steeper, on rocky ' surfaces, or on other areas where soil conditions would make compaction undesirable. 3.6. Mulch ' 3.6.1. General All seeded areas shall be mulched unless otherwise indicated on the plans or directed by the ENGINEER. Application rate of mulch shall be indicated in seeding schedule. 3.6.2. Mulching Mulch shall be applied within 36 hours after the completion of seeding unless otherwise permitted by the ENGINEER. Care shall be exercised to prevent displacement of soil or seed or other damage to the 1 seeded area during the mulching operations. 3.6.3. Mulch shall be uniformly spread by hand or by approved mechanical spreaders or blowers that ' will provide an acceptable application. An acceptable application will be that which will allow some sunlight to penetrate and air to circulate but also partially shade the ground, reduce erosion, and conserve soil moisture. ' 3.6.4. Mulch Biding Mulch shall be held in place using devices approved by the ENGINEER as per manufacturers recommendations. During application, the CONTRACTOR shall take adequate precautions to prevent ' damage to structures or appurtenances. 3.7. Maintenance ' 3.7.1. General The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for the proper care and maintenance of the seeded areas until the work under the entire contract has been completed and accepted by the ENGINEER. Maintenance ' shall consist of repair and replacement of eroded areas, watering, refertiliaig, reliming, reseeding, and remulching as necessary to provide an even, fixed growth of grass. In addition, the CONTRACTOR shall 02933 -4 ' March 2009 6 Street Sanitary Sewer Repair WKD #70522.00.AG 1 1 i i i 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 i 1 1
