A Jack and Bore line-item should be added to the bid schedule. The current plan calls to cross Powell Road by open-cut, however if it is deemed necessary then Powell Road will be crossed by jack and bore method. This item is to include ALL costs associated with performing the jack and bore, including but not limited to the driving of pylons and aggregate base for the bore pit. 2. All circular manholes serving the 30-inch lines shall have six-foot diameters. Alternate manhole configurations are acceptable, but must be approved by the Augusta Utilities Department. 3. The pressure class of the ductile iron pipe listed on the current bid schedule of items 7, 8, and 14 should read class 250. 4. One of the 6-foot diameter manholes should include a 24" stub-out, exact location to be specified in the field by A UD. 5. Field-lock gaskets shall be sufficient for the road crossing at Powell Road if done by jack and bore. 6. The sewer line under the railroad property requires mechanical restraint. 7. The contractor is free to construct the project in any order that he desires. However, if the land acquisition agreement between the railroad and Augusta is not procured at the time the contractor wishes to begin work, then the contractor shall "skip" over this section and return after the agreement has been obtained. There will be no time charge applied for this process. 8. The 18-inch and 30~inch sewer pipe shall be bid without considering bedding quantities for #57 stone and #4 stone. The line item for pipe will include nothing for bedding materials. The stone for bedding shall be bid for the full quantity and placed into the ground at the discretion of the AUD inspector. Eight (8) inch line shall be bid including bedding quantities for #57 stone. . - 9. All lines shall be air-tested, and manholes shall be vacuum tested per AUD specifications. Both 18 and 30-inch lines shall be lamp-lighted in lieu of mandrel testing. 10. Section 14.27, paragraph seven in the September 2000 edition of the Augusta Utilities Department Design Standards & Construction Specifications reads as follows: New sewer lines shall be inspected through use of camera inspection equipment with an Augusta Utilities Department Inspector at the time of installation and again before the one- year warranty expires. The Developer is to provide the Augusta Utilities Department with a color VHS system videotape of the inside of every reach of the sanitary sewer installed. The tape shall record manhole number to manhole number, date of recording, and distance from Butler Interceptor Extension Addendum 1, Page: 1 I I I I I I I I I I I I start of run. The tape shall include a distance and location description of every service line connection installed. The manhole numbering system shall be the same as shown on the approved development plans. This paragraph is amended for this project to read as follows: The camera inspection of new sewer lines will not be required, either at installation or within the warranty period, unless the owner deems it necessary for problematic evaluation. For problematic evaluation the owner may request that any amount or all ofthe new sewer line be inspected, either during project construction or in the warranty period. The cost of all requested camera inspections will be incurred by the contractor. Upon the owner's request, sewer lines shall be inspected through use of camera inspection equipment with an Augusta Utilities Department Inspector present. The Contractor is to provide the Augusta Utilities Department with a color VHS system videotape of the inside of every reach of the sanitary sewer inspected. The tape shall record manhole number to manhole number, date of recording, and distance from start of run. The tape shall include a distance and location description of every service line connection inspected. The manhole numbering system shall be the same as shown on the project plans. Upon the request of the Augusta Utilities Department, the cost of the CCTV for all pipe sizes will be included in the cost of laying the pipe. 11. The length of the project shall be extended from 180 to 200 days.

BB-2 I I I I I I I I I I I I I IMPORTANT NOTICE TO SURETY BOND CUSTOMERS REGARDING THE TERRORISM RISK INSURANCE ACT OF 2002 As a surety bond customer of one of the SAFECO insurance companies (SAFECO Insurance Company of America, General Insurance Company of America, First National Insurance Company of America, American States Insurance Company or American Economy Insurance Company), it is our duty to notify you that the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 extends to "surety insurance". This means that under certain circumstances we may be eligible for reimbursement of certain surety bond losses by the United States govemment under a formula established by this Act. Under this formula, the United States government pays 90% of losses caused by certified acts of terrorism that exceed a statutorily established deductible to be paid by the insurance company providing the bond. The Act also establishes a $100 billion cap for the total of all losses to be paid by all insurers for certified acts of terrorism. Losses on some or all of your bonds may be subject to this cap. This notice does not modify any of the existing terms and conditions of this bond, the underlying agreement guaranteed by this bond, any statutes governing the terms of this bond or any generally applicable rules of law. At this time there is no premium change resulting from this Act. . iiii . - - - - S-6248/GEEF 2/03 FRP I m S A FEe O' I POWER OF ATTORNEY SAFECO INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA HOME OFFICE: SAFECO PLAZA SEATTLE.

PYB-2 I I I I I I I I I I I I I IMPORTANT NOTICE TO SURETY BOND CUSTOMERS REGARDING THE TERRORISM RISK INSURANCE ACT OF 2002 As a surety bond customer of one of the SAFECO insurance companies (SAFECO Insurance Company of America, General Insurance Company of America, First National Insurance Company of America, American States Insurance Company or American Economy Insurance Company), it is our duty to notify you that the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 extends to "surety insurance". This means that under certain circumstances we may be eligible for reimbursement of certain surety bond losses by the United States government under a formula established by this Act. Under this formula, the United States government pays 90% of losses caused by certified acts of terrorism that exceed a statutorily established deductible to be paid by the insurance company providing the bond. The Act also establishes a $100 billion cap for the total of all losses to be paid by all insurers for certified acts of terrorism. Losses on some or all of your bonds may be subject to this cap. This notice does not modify any of the existing terms and conditions of this bond, the underlying agreement guaranteed by this bond, any statutes governing the terms of this bond or any generally applicable rules of law. At this time there is no premium change resulting from this Act. . . .

Any claim for an increase or decrease in the Contract Price shall be based on written notice delivered by the party making the claim to the other party and to PROFESSIONAL promptly (but in no event later than thirty days) after the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim and stating the general nature of the claim. Notice of the amount of the claim with supporting data shall be delivered within sixty days after such occurrence (unless PROFESSIONAL allows an additional period of time to ascertain more accurate data in support of the claim and shall be accompanied by claimant's written statement that the amount claimed covers all known amounts (direct, indirect and consequential) to which the claimant is entitled as a result of the occurrence of said event. All claims for adjustment in the Contract Price shall be determined by PROFESSIONAL in accordance with paragraph 9.11 if OWNER and CONTRACTOR cannot otherwise agree on the amount involved. 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. When it is determined by OWNER that an addition, deletion, or revision to the Work as defined in these Contract Documents is required and affects the quantities required for items designed in the Bid Proposal as unit price items, CONTRACTOR and OWNER agree that the compensation payable to CONTRACTOR for such unit price items shall be adjusted accordingly by a Change Order based upon the application of the appropriate unit prices shown in the Bid Proposal to the quantity of the unit price item required to complete the Work as defined in the Contract Documents. 11.3.3. Other Unit Prices. For items not designated in the bid proposal as unit prices, OWNER and CONTRACTOR may establish unit prices as agreed on by Change Order. 11.3.4. Lump Sum. When it is determined by OWNER that an addition, deletion or revision to the Work is required which results in a change in Work designated in the Bid Proposal as a lump sum item, the amount of increase or decrease in the lump sum price shall be established by mutual agreement of the parties. 11.3.5. 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. CONTRACTOR shall perform the Work as directed in the 30 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I September 19, 2v(.rj.s.:.t't~mh!r 11, 1~:-8 I Change Order. 11.3.6. Failure on the part of CONTRACTOR to construct any item to plan or authorized dimensions within the specification tolerances shall result in: reconstruction to acceptable tolerances at no additional costs to OWNER; acceptance at no pay; or acceptance at reduced final pay quantity or reduced unit price, all at the discretion of OWNER.

If a subcontract provides that the Subcontractor is to be paid on the basis of Cost of the Work Plus a Fee, the Subcontractor's Cost of the Work shall be determined in the same manner as CONTRACTOR's Cost of the Work. All subcontracts shall be subject to the other provisions of the Contract Documents insofar as applicable. 11.4.4.

For all changes, CONTRACTOR shall submit an itemized cost breakdown, together with supporting data in such detail and form as prescribed by the Project Manager. When a credit is due, the amount of credit to be allowed by CONTRACTOR to OWNER for any such change which results in a net decrease in cost will be the amount of the actual net decrease in direct cost as determined by the Project 33 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ~'-'Ptemb~l' 1~, :;:OOO~~~..,--i..f19B I Manager, plus the applicable reduction in overhead and profit. When both additions and credits are involved in any change, the combined overhead and profit shall be calculated on the basis of the next change, whether an increase or decrease. In any event, the minimum detail shall be an itemization of all man-hours required by discipline/trade with the unit cost per man-hour and total labor price, labor burden, equipment hours and rate for each piece of equipment, material by units of measure and price per unit, other costs specifically itemized, plus the overhead and profit markup. Cash Allowances: 11.8. It is understood that CONTRACTOR has included in the Contract Price all allowances so named in the Contract Documents and shall cause the Work so covered to be done by such Subcontractors or Suppliers and for such sums within the limit of the allowances as may be acceptable to PROFESSIONAL, CONTRACTOR agrees that: 11.8.1. The allowances include the cost to CONTRACTOR (less any applicable trade discounts) of materials and equipment required by the allowances to be delivered at the site, and all applicable taxes; and 11.8.2. CONTRACTOR's costs for unloading and handling on the site, labor, installation costs, overhead, profit and other expenses contemplated for the allowances have been included in the Contract Price and not in the allowances. No demand for additional payment on account of any thereof will be valid. Prior to final payment, an appropriate Change Order will be issued as recommended by PROFESSIONAL to reflect actual amounts due CONTRACTOR on account of Work covered by allowances, and the Contract Price shall be correspondingly adjusted. Unit Price Work: 11.9.1. Where the Contract Documents provide that all or part of the Work is to be Unit Price Work, initially the Contract Price will be deemed to include for all Unit Price Work an amount equal to the sum of the established unit prices for each separately identified item of Unit Price Work times the estimated quantity of each item as indicated in the Agreement. The estimated quantities of items of Unit Price Work are not guaranteed and are solely for the purpose of comparison of Bids and determining an initial Contract Price. Determinations of the actual quantities and classifications of Unit Price Work performed by CONTRACTOR will be made by PROFESSIONAL in accordance with Paragraph 9.10. 11.9.2. Each unit price will be deemed to include an amount considered by CONTRACTOR to be adequate to cover CONTRACTOR's overhead and profit for each separately identified item. 11.9.3. Where the quantity of any item of Unit Price Work performed by CONTRACTOR differs materially and significantly from the estimated quantity of such item indicated in the Agreement and there is no corresponding adjustment with respect to any other item of Work and if CONTRACTOR believes that CONTRACTOR has incurred additional expense as a result thereof, CONTRACTOR may make a claim for an increase in the Contract Price in accordance with Article 11 if the partes are unable to agree as to the amount of any such increase. 34 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I S<')ptcrrher 151, ::OOO5ept.<:lIlse..r 11, C:-::; I ARTICLE 12--CHANGE OF CONTRACT TIME 12.1. The Contract Time may only be changed by a Change Order. Any request for an extension in the Contract Time shall be made in writing and delivered to PROFESSIONAL and Project Manager within seven (7) calendar days of the occurrence first happening and resulting in the claim. Written supporting data will be submitted to PROFESSIONAL and Project Manager within fifteen (15) calendar days after such occurrence unless the Project Manager allows additional time. All claims submitted by CONTRACTOR for adjustments to the Contract Time must set forth in detail the reasons for and causes of the delay and clearly indicate why the subject delay was beyond CONTRACTOR's control or fault. 12.2. If CONTRACTOR is delayed at any time in the performance, progress, commencement, or completion of the Work by any act or neglect of OWNER or PROFESSIONAL, or by an employee of either, or by any separate CONTRACTOR employed by OWNER, or by changes ordered in the Work, or by labor disputes, fire, unavoidable casualties, utility conflicts which could not have been identified or foreseen by CONTRACTOR using reasonable diligence, or any causes beyond CONTRACTOR's control or fault, then the Contract Time shall be extended by Change Order for such reasonable time as OWNER may determine. CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to an extension of time for such causes only for the number of days of delay which OWNER may determine to be due solely to such causes and only to the extent such occurrences actually delay the completion of the Work and then only if CONTRACTOR shall have strictly complied with all the requirements of the Contract Documents. Provided, however, notwithstanding anything in the Contract Documents to the contrary, no interruption, interference, inefficiency, suspension or delay in the performance, progress, commencement or completion of the Work for any cause whatsoever, including those for which OWNER or PROFESSIONAL may be responsible in whole or in part, shall relieve CONTRACTOR of its duty to perform or give rise to any right to damages or additional compensation from OWNER. CONTRACTOR's sole and exclusive remedy against OWNER for interruption, interference, inefficiency, suspension or delay of any aspect of the Work shall be the right to seek an extension to the Contract Time in accordance with the procedures set forth herein. 35 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I St!;PtembeI: Eo. ::fJOOEe"telll~L.r 11, l::?: I ARTICLE 13-WARRANTY AND GUARANTEE; TESTS AND INSPECTIONS: CORRECTION, REMOVAL OR ACCEPTANCE OF DEFECTIVE WORK Warranty and Guarantee: 13.1. CONTRACTOR warrants and guarantees to OWNER that all materials and equipment will be new unless otherwise specified and that all work will be of good quality, performed in a workmanlike manner, free from faults or defects, and in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents and any inspections, tests, or approvals referred to in this Article. All unsatisfactory Work, all faulty Work and all Work not conforming to the requirements of the Contract Documents or such inspections, tests, approvals, or all applicable building, construction and safety requirements shall be considered defective. Notice of all defects shall be given to CONTRACTOR by PROFESSIONAL. All defective work, whether or not in place, may be rejected, corrected, or accepted as provided in this Article. Access to Work: 13.2. For the duration of the Work, PROFESSIONAL and its representatives, other designated representatives of OWNER, and authorized representatives of any regulatory agency shall at all times be given access to the Work. CONTRACTOR shall provide proper facilities for such access and observation of the Work and also for any inspection or testing by others. Tests and Inspections: 13.3. If the Contract Documents, laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or orders of any public authority having jurisdiction require any Work to specifically be inspected, tested, or approved by someone other than CONTRACTOR, CONTRACTOR shall give PROFESSIONAL timely notice of readiness therefore. 13.4. The testing firm(s) (if assigned by OWNER to this Work) and all such inspections, tests, or approvals provided for by OWNER shall be identified in writing by PROFESSIONAL to CONTRACTOR. All other inspections, tests or approvals shall be at CONTRACTOR's expense including additional expenses for inspection and tests required as a result of delays by CONTRACTOR or hours worked in excess of 40 hours per week. For all required inspections, tests, and approvals on any Work prepared, performed, or assembled away from the site, CONTRACTOR will furnish PROFESSIONAL with the required Certificates of Inspection, testing, or approval. All such tests will be in accordance with the methods prescribed by the American Society for Testing and Materials or such other applicable organizations as may be required by law or the Contract Documents. Materials or Work in place that fail to pass acceptability tests shall be retested at the direction of PROFESSIONAL and at CONTRACTOR's expense. 13.5. All inspections, tests or approvals other than those required by Laws or Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction shall be performed by organizations acceptable to OWNER and CONTRACTOR (or by PROFESSIONAL if so specified). 13.6. If any Work (including the work of others) that is to be inspected, tested or approved is covered without written concurrence of PROFESSIONAL, it must, if requested by PROFESSIONAL, be uncovered for observation. Such uncovering shall be at CONTRACTOR's expense unless CONTRACTOR has given PROFESSIONAL timely notice of CONTRACTOR's intention to cover the same and PROFESSIONAL has not acted with reasonable promptness in response to such notice. 36 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 5ept~mbcl: 19, :OOO&q~te:fMe.r 11, l&-:+B I 13.7. Neither observations by PROFESSIONAL or Project Manager nor inspections, tests, or approvals by persons other than CONTRACTOR shall relieve CONTRACTOR of its obligations to perform the Work in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents. Uncovering Work: 13.8. If any Work required to be inspected, tested or approved is covered prior thereto without the prior written approval of PROFESSIONAL, or if any Work is covered contrary to the request of PROFESSIONAL, the Work shall, if requested by PROFESSIONAL, be uncovered for observation, inspection, testing or approval and replaced at CONTRACTOR's expense. 13.9. If PROFESSIONAL considers it necessary or advisable that covered Work be observed by PROFESSIONAL or inspected or tested by others. CONTRACTOR, at PROFESSIONAL's request, shall uncover, expose or otherwise make available for observation, inspection or testing as PROFESSIONAL may require, that portion of the Work in question, furnishing all necessary labor, material and equipment. If it is found that such Work is defective, CONTRACTOR shall bear all direct, and consequential costs of such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection and testing and of satisfactory reconstruction, (including but not limited to fees and charges of PROFESSIONALs, architects, attorneys and other PROFESSIONALs), and OWNER shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price, and, if the parties are unable to agree as to the amount thereof, may make a claim therefor as provided in Article 11. If, however, such Work is not found to be defective, CONTRACTOR shall be allowed an increase in the Contract Price, or an extension of the Contract Time, or both, directly attributable to such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection, testing and reconstruction; and, if the parties are unable to agree as to the amount or extent thereof, CONTRACTOR may make a claim therefor as provided in Articles 11 and 12. Owner May Stop the Work: 13.10. When Work is defective or when CONTRACTOR fails to supply sufficient skilled workmen or suitable materials or equipment, or make prompt payments to Subcontractors for labor, materials, or equipment, or if CONTRACTOR violates any provisions of these Contract Documents, OWNER may order CONTRACTOR to stop the Work until the cause for such order has been eliminated. However, this right of OWNER to stop the Work shall not give rise to any duty on the part of OWNER to exercise this right for the benefit of CONTRACTOR or any other party. CONTRACTOR shall have no right to claim an increase in the Contract Price or Contract Time or other damages for a stop work order under this paragraph. Correction or Removal of Defective Work: 13.11. When directed by PROFESSIONAL, CONTRACTOR shall promptly, without cost to OWNER and as specified by PROFESSIONAL, either correct the defective Work whether fabricated, installed, or completed, or remove it from the site and replace it with non defective Work. If CONTRACTOR does not correct such defective Work or remove and replace such defective Work within a reasonable time, all as specified in a written notice from PROFESSIONAL, OWNER may have the deficiency corrected. All direct and indirect costs of such correction shall be paid by CONTRACTOR or deducted from payment to CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR will also bear the expense of correcting or removing and replacing all Work of others destroyed or damaged by the correction, removal, or replacement of the defective Work. 37 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Septemher l~, :UOO&epte:B!bU 11, l~Sa I One Year Correction Period: 13.12. If, after approval of final payment and prior to the expiration of one year after the date of substantial completion or such longer period of time as may be prescribed by law or by the terms of any applicable special guarantee required by the Contract Documents, any Work or materials are found to be defective, incomplete, or otherwise not in accordance with the Contract Documents, CONTRACTOR shall promptly, without cost to OWNER and in accordance with OWNER's written instructions, either correct such defective Work, or if it has been rejected by OWNER, remove it from the Site and replace it with non-defective Work. If CONTRACTOR does not promptly comply with the terms of such instructions, OWNER may have the defective Work corrected, removed, or replaced. All direct, indirect and consequential costs of such removal and replacement (including but not limited to fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and other PROFESSIONALs) will be paid by CONTRACTOR. Acceptance of Defective Work: 13.13. If, instead of requiring correction or removal and replacement of defective Work, OWNER (and, prior to PROFESSIONAL's recommendation of final payment, also PROFESSIONAL) prefers to accept it, OWNER may do so. CONTRACTOR shall bear all direct, indirect and consequential costs attributable to OWNER's evaluation of and determination to accept such defective Work (such costs to be approved by PROFESSIONAL as to reasonableness and to include but not be limited to fees and charges of PROFESSIONALs, architects, attorneys and other PROFESSIONALs). If any such acceptance occurs prior to PROFESSIONAL's recommendation of final payment, a Change Order will be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to the Work and OWNER shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price, and, if the panics are unable to agree as to the amount thereof. OWNER may make a claim therefor as provided in Article 11. If the acceptance occurs after such recommendation, an appropriate amount will be paid by CONTRACTOR to OWNER. OWNER May Correct Defective Work: 13.14. If CONTRACTOR fails within a reasonable time after written notice of PROFESSIONAL to proceed to correct and to correct defective Work or to remove and replace rejected Work as required by PROFESSIONAL in accordance with paragraph 13.11, or if CONTRACTOR fails to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, or if CONTRACTOR falls to comply with any other provision of the Contract Documents, OWNER may, after seven days' written notice to CONTRACTOR, correct and remedy any such deficiency. In exercising the rights and remedies under this paragraph OWNER shall proceed expeditiously, to the extent necessary to complete corrective and remedial action, OWNER may exclude CONTRACTOR from all or part of the site, take possession of all or part of the Work, and suspend CON- TRACTOR's services related thereto, take possession of CONTRACTOR's tools, appliances, construction equipment and machinery at the site and incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the site or for which OWNER has paid CONTRACTOR but which are stored elsewhere. CONTRACTOR shall allow OWNER, OWNER's representatives, agents and employees such access to the site as may be necessary to enable OWN ER to exercise the rights and remedies under this paragraph. All direct, indirect and consequential costs of OWNER in exercising such rights and remedies will be charged against CONTRACTOR in an amount approved as to reasonableness by PROFESSIONAL, and a Change Order will be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to the Work, and OWNER shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price, and, if the parties are unable to agree as to the amount thereof, OWNER may make a claim therefor as provided in Article 11. Such direct, indirect and consequential costs will include but not be limited to fees and charges of PROFESSIONALs, 38 .

CONTRACTOR shall not be allowed an extension of the Contract Time because of any delay in per- formance of the Work attributable to the exercise by OWNER of OWNER's rights and remedies hereunder. Neglected Work by CONTRACTOR 13.15. If CONTRACTOR neglects to execute the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, including any requirements of the progress schedule, PROFESSIONAL may direct CONTRACTOR to submit a recovery plan and take specific corrective actions including, but not limited to, employing additional workmen, and/or equipment, and working extended hours and additional days, all at no cost to OWNER in order to put the Work back on schedule. If CONTRACTOR fails to correct the deficiency or take appropriate corrective action, OWNER may terminate the contract or CONTRACTOR's right to proceed with that portion of Work and have the Work done by others. The cost of completion under such procedure shall be charged against CONTRACTOR. A Change Order shall be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract Documents, including an appropriate reduction in the Contract Price. If the payments due CONTRACTOR are not sufficient to cover such amount, CONTRACTOR shall pay the difference to OWNER. 13.16. Should CONTRACTOR work overtime, weekends or holidays to regain the schedule, all costs to OWNER of associated inspection, construction management and resident PROFESSIONALs shall be identified to CONTRACTOR and the Contract Price reduced by a like amount via Change Order. 39 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I S>!;ct~mbe! 19, :OOu~';e I ARTICLE 14-PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR AND COMPLETION Schedule of Values: 14.1. The schedule of values established as provided in 2.9 will serve as the basis for progress payments and will be incorporated into a form of application for Payment acceptable to Project Manager. Progress payments on account of Unit Price Work will be based on the number of units completed. Application for Progress Payment: 14.2. At least twenty (20) calendar days before the date established for each progress payment (but not more often than once a month), CONTRACTOR shall submit to PROFESSIONAL for review an application for Payment filled out and signed by CONTRACTOR covering the work completed as of the date of the application and accompanied by such supporting documentation as is required by the Contract Documents. If payment is requested on the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated in the Work but delivered and suitably stored at the site or at another location agreed to in writing, the Application for Payment shall also be accompanied by a bill of sale, invoice or other documentation warranting that OWNER has received the materials and equipment free and clear of all liens and evidence that the materials and equipment are covered by appropriate property insurance and other arrangements to protect OWNER's interest therein, all of which will be satisfactory to OWNER. Payment is subject to a ten percent (10%) retainage that will be held until the final payment or acceptance by OWNER. The amount of retainage with respect to progress payments will be as stipulated in the Agreement. CONTRACTOR's Warranty of Title: 14.3. CONTRACTOR warrants and guarantees that title to all Work, materials and equipment covered by any Application for Payment, whether incorporated in the Project or not, will pass to OWNER no later than the time of payment free and clear of all Liens. Review of Applications for Progress Payment: 14.4. PROFESSIONAL will, within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of each Application for Payment, either indicate in writing a recommendation of payment and present the application to OWNER, or return the application to CONTRACTOR indicating in writing PROFESSIONAL's reasons for refusing to recommend payment. In the latter case, CONTRACTOR may make the necessary corrections and resubmit the application. OWNER shall, within thirty-one calendar days of presentation to him of the application for payment with PROFESSIONAL's recommendation of the amount for payment, pay CONTRACTOR amount recommended. 14.5. PROFESSIONAL's recommendation of any payment requested in an Application for Payment will constitute a representation by PROFESSIONAL to OWNER, based on PROFESSIONAL's on-site observations of the Work in progress as an experienced and qualified design PROFESSIONAL and on PROF- ESSIONAL's review of the Application for Payment and the accompanying data and schedules that the Work has progressed to the point indicated; that, to the best of PROFESSIONAL's knowledge, information and belief, the quality' of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents subject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning whole prior to or upon Substantial Completion, to the results of any subsequent tests called for in the Contract Documents, to a final determination of quantities and classifications for Unit Price 40 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I S~p1:.ember l~, :OOV~pt.i:lII}E.J; 11, }....;8 I Work under paragraph 9.10. and to any other qualifications stated in the recommendation-: and that CONTRACTOR is entitled to payment of the amount recommended. However, by recommending any such payment PROFESSIONAL will not thereby be deemed to have represented that exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections have been made to check the quality or the quantity of the Work beyond the responsibilities specifically assigned to PROFESSIONAL in the Contract Documents or that there may not be other matters or issues between the parties that might entitle CONTRACTOR to be paid additionally by OWNER or OWNER to withhold payment to CONTRACTOR. 14.6. PROFESSIONAL's recommendation of final payment will constitute an additional representation by PROFESSIONAL to OWNER that the conditions precedent to CONTRACTOR's being entitled to final payment as set forth in paragraph 14.13 have been fulfilled. 14.7. PROFESSIONAL may refuse to recommend the whole or any part of any payment if, in PROFESSIONAL's opinion, it would be incorrect to make such representations to OWNER. PROFESSIONAL may also refuse to recommend any such payment, or, because of subsequently discovered evidence or the results of subsequent inspections or tests, nullify any such payment previously recommended, to such extent as may be necessary in PROFESSIONAL's opinion to protect OWNER from loss because: 14.7.1. the Work is defective, or completed Work has been damaged requiring correction or replacement. 14.7.2. the Contract Price has been reduced by Written Amendment or Change Order. 14.7.3. OWNER has been required to correct defective Work or complete Work in accordance with paragraph 13.14. or 14.7.4. of PROFESSIONAL's actual knowledge of the occurrence of any of the events enumerated in paragraphs 15.2.1 through 15.2.9 inclusive. OWNER may refuse to make payment of the full amount recommended by PROFESSIONAL because claims have been made against OWNER on account of CONTRACTOR's performance or furnishing of the Work or Liens have been filed in connection with the Work or there are other items entitling OWNER to a set-off against the amount recommended, but OWNER must give CONTRACTOR immediate written notice (with a copy to PROFESSIONAL) stating the reasons for such action. Substantial Completion: 14.8. When CONTRACTOR considers the entire Work ready for its intended use CONTRACTOR shall notify OWNER and PROFESSIONAL in writing that the entire Work is substantially complete (except for items specifically listed by CONTRACTOR as incomplete) and request that PROFESSIONAL issue a certificate of Substantial Completion. Within a reasonable time thereafter, OWNER, CONTRACTOR and PROFESSIONAL shall make an inspection of the Work to determine the status of completion. If PROFESSIONAL does not consider the Work substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will notify CONTRACTOR in writing giving the reasons therefor. If PROFESSIONAL considers the Work substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will prepare and deliver to OWNER a tentative certificate of Substantial Completion which shall fix the date of Substantial Completion. There shall be attached to the certificate a tentative list of items to be completed or corrected before final payment. OWNER shall have seven days after receipt of the tentative certificate during which to make written objection to PROFESSIONAL as to any 41 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I S(\ptembeI: 19, :Oljv~rnb-o-f-l+r--+9-5~ I provisions of the certificate or attached list. If, after considering such objections. PROFESSIONAL concludes that the Work is not substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will within fourteen days after submission of the tentative certificate to OWNER notify CONTRACTOR in writing. stating the reasons therefor. If, after consideration of OWNER's objections, PROFESSIONAL considers the Work substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will within said fourteen days execute and deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR a definitive certificate of Substantial Completion (with a revised tentative list of items to be completed or corrected) reflecting such changes from the tentative certificate as PROFESSIONAL believes justified after consideration of any objections from OWNER. At the time of delivery of the tentative certificate of Substantial Completion PROFESSIONAL will deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR a written recommendation as to division of responsibilities pending final payment between OWNER and CONTRACTOR with respect to security, operation, safety, maintenance, heat, utilities, insurance and warranties. Unless OWNER and CONTRACTOR agree otherwise in wilting and so inform PROFESSIONAL prior to PROFESSIONAL's issuing the definitive certificate of Substantial Completion, PROFESSIONAL's aforesaid recommendation will be binding on OWNER and CONTRACTOR until final payment. 14.9. OWNER shall have the right to exclude CONTRACTOR from the Work after the date of Substantial Completion, but OWN ER shall allow CONTRACTOR reasonable access to complete or correct items on the tentative list. Partial Utilization: 14.10.

OWNER at any time may request CONTRACTOR in writing to permit OWNER to use any such part of the Work which OWNER believes to be ready for its intended use and substantially complete. If CONTRACTOR agrees, CONTRACTOR will certify to OWNER and PROFESSIONAL that said part of the Work is substantially complete and request PROFESSIONAL to issue a certificate of Substantial Completion for that part of the Work. CONTRACTOR at any time may notify, OWNER and PROFESSIONAL in writing that CONTRACTOR considers any such part of the Work ready for its intended use and substantially complete and request PROFESSIONAL to issue a certificate of Substantial Completion for that part of the Work. Within a reasonable time after either such request, OWNER, CONTRACTOR and PROFESSIONAL shall make an inspection of that part of the Work to determine its status of completion. If PROFESSIONAL does not consider that part of the Work to be substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will notify. OWNER and CONTRACTOR in writing giving the reasons therefor. If PROFESSIONAL considers that part o(the Work to be substantially complete, the provisions of paragraphs 14.8 and 14.9 will apply with respect to certification of Substantial Completion of that part of the Work and the division of responsibility in respect thereof and access thereto. 14.10.2.

If CONTRACTOR does not object in writing to OWNER and PROFESSIONAL that such part of the Work is not 42 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Sept~mJ..e.r 1~. :::OO(l~l"~he.f 11, 1:~9 I ready for separate operation by OWNER, PROFESSIONAL will finalize the list of items to be completed or corrected and will deliver such list to OWNER and CONTRACTOR together with a written recommendation as to the division of responsibilities pending final payment between OWNER and CONTRACTOR with respect to security, operation, safety, maintenance, utilities, insurance, warranties and guarantees for that part of the Work which will become binding upon OWNER and CONTRACTOR at the time when OWNER takes over such operation (unless they shall have otherwise agreed in writing and so informed PROFESSIONAL).

Where and if shown on the plans, the locations and existence or nonexistence of underground utilities are not guaranteed. The Contractor shall contact the various utility companies to determine and/or verify such information prior to proceeding with the work. He shall make reasonable and satisfactory provisions for the maintenance of traffic on streets, drives, walkways and at street crossings and if necessary to provide temporary walkways and bridges for crossing of the open trench as directed. Work shall not commence within Augusta right- of-way until a Right-of-Way Encroachment Permit is obtained from the Public Works Deparment. 14.30 EXCAVATION All excavation of every description and of whatever substances encountered shall be performed to the depths indicated on the drawings or as specified herein. Excavation shall be made by the open cut method except as otherwise specified or shown on the drawings. Excavation methods shall generally meet or exceed Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) construction industry standards. All excavated materials not required for fill or backfill shall be removed and wasted as directed. The banks of shallow trenches shall be kept as nearly vertical as practicable and where required shall be properly sheeted and braced. Except where otherwise indicated, trench bottoms shall be not less than 12 inches wider nor more than 16 inches wider than the outside diameter of the pipe to be laid therein, and shall be excavated true to line, so that a clear space of not less than 6 inches nor more than 8 inches in width is provided on each side of the pipe. The bottom of trenches shall be accurately graded to provide uniform bearing and support for each section of the pipe on undisturbed soil at every point along its entire length, except for portions of the pipe sections where it is necessary to excavate for bell holes and for the proper sealing of pipe joints. Bell holes shall be dug after the trench bottom has been graded. Bell holes shall be excavated only to an extent sufficient to permit accurate work in the making of the joints and to insure that the pipe, for a maximum of its length will rest upon the prepared bottom of the trench. Depressions for joints other than mechanical shall be made in accordance with the recommendations of the joint manufacturers for the Augusta Utilities Department September 2000 Design Standards & Construction Specifications 14-19 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ~ ~ particular joint used. Excavation for structures and other accessories shall be sufficient to leave at least 12 inches in the clear between their outer surfaces and the embankment or timber which may be used to hold the bank and protect them. Where damage is liable to result from withdrawing sheeting, the sheeting will be ordered to be left in place. Except at locations where excavation of rock from the bottoms of trenches is required, care shall be taken not to excavate below the depths indicated. Where rock excavation is required, the rock shall be excavated to a minimum overdepth of 4 inches below the normal required trench depth. The overdepth rock excavation and all excess trench excavation shall be backfilled with loose, moist earth, thoroughly tamped. Rock is defined as materials which are so hard or cemented that the excavation of such material requires blasting. The excavation shall proceed in a conventional manner with satisfactory effort made to remove hard materials before the Engineer makes a determination of need for blasting. Predrilling and blasting will be allowed, if the Contractor can provide evidence for the Engineer's review that boring logs can and will show that the material can or cannot be excavated. Evidence will be provided for the Engineer's review and approval before predrilling and blasting is undertaken. The excavation and removal of isolated boulders or rock fragments larger than one cubic yard in volume encountered in materials of common excavation shall be classified as rock excavation. Whenever wet or otherwise unstable soil that is incapable of properly supporting the pipe, as determined by the Engineer or indicated on the drawings, is encountered in the trench bottom, such soil shall be removed to a depth required for the lengths designated by the Engineer, and the trench backfilled to trench bottom grade, as herein specified, with coarse sand, fine gravel, or other suitable material. Backfill with earth under structures will not be permitted and any unauthorized excess excavation below the levels indicated for the foundation of such structures shall be filled with sand, gravel, or concrete, as directed. 14.30.1 Grading and Stacking: All grading in the vicinity of trench excavation shall be controlled to prevent surface ground water from flowing into the trenches. Any water accumulated in the trenches shall be removed by pumping or by other approved methods. During excavation, material suitable for backfilling shall be stored in an orderly manner a minimum distance of one and one-half times the depth of the excavation back from the edges of trenches to avoid overloading and prevent slides or cave-ins, Material unsuitable for backfilling, as determined by the Engineer, shall be removed from the job site and disposed of by the Contractor in a manner as approved by the Engineer. 14.30.2 Shoring and Sheeting: All shoring, sheeting, and bracing required to perform and protect the excavation and to safeguard employees and the public shall be performed. The failure of the Engineer to direct the placing of such protection shall not relieve the Contractor of his responsibility for damage resulting from its omission. Whenever sheeting is driven to a depth below the elevation of the top of the pipe, that portion of the sheeting below the elevation of the top of the pipe shall not be disturbed or removed. Sheeting left in place shall be cut off not less than 1 foot below finished grade. No sheeting shall be removed until the excavation is substantially backfilled as hereinafter specified. - . - Augusta Utilities Department September 2000 Design Standards & Construction SpeCifications 14-20 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 14.30.3 Water Removal: Where water is encountered, it shall be prevented from accumulating in excavated areas by pumping, well-pointing and pumping, or by other means approved by the Engineer as to capacity and effectiveness. Water removed from excavations shall be discharged at points where it will not cause injury to public or private property, or the work completed or in progress. All efforts to prevent sedimentation shall be made. Under no circumstances shall trench bottoms be prepared, pipes laid, or appurtenances installed in water. Water shall not be allowed to rise in unbackfilled excavations after pipe or structures have been placed. 14.30.4 Blasting: Explosives are to used only within legal limitations, Before explosives are used, all necessary permits for this work shall be secured and all precautions taken in the blasting operations to prevent damage to private or public property or to persons. The Contractor shall assume full liability for any damage that may occur during the use of explosives. No blast shall be set off within 50 feet of pipe already laid in the trench. 14.30.5 Tree Protection: Care shall be exercised to protect the roots of trees to be left standing. Within the branch spread of the tree, trench shall be opened only when the work can be installed immediately. Injured roots shall be pruned cleanly and backfill placed as soon as possible. 14.31 BACKFILLING Trenches and other excavations shall not be backfilled until all required tests are performed and the work has been approved by the Engineer. The trenches shall be carefully backfilled with the excavated materials approved for backfilling consisting of earth, loam, sandy clay, sand and gravel, soft shale, or other approved materials. No material shall be used for backfilling that contains mulch, other unstable materials, stones, blasted rock, broken concrete or pavement, or other hard materials having any dimension greater than 4 inches; or large clods of earth, debris, frozen earth or earth with an exceptionally high void content. Backfilling within Augusta right-of-way shall conform to Georgia Department of Transportation and City of Augusta specifications. For backfill up to a level 1 foot over the top of pressure pipelines and 2 feet above the top of gravity pipelines, only selected materials shall be used. Select materials shall be finely divided material free from debris, organic material and stone, and may be suitable job excavated material or shall be provided by the Contractor from other sources. The backfill shall be placed in uniform layers not exceeding 6 inches in depth. Each layer shall be moistened and carefully and uniformly tamped with mechanical tampers or other suitable tools. Each layer shall be placed and tamped under the pipe haunches with care and thoroughness so as to eliminate the possibility of voids or lateral displacement. The remainder of the backfill material shall then be placed and compacted above the level specified above. In areas not subject to traffic, the backfill shall be placed in 12 inch layers and each layer moistened and compacted to a density approximating that of the surrounding earth. Under roadways, driveways, paved areas, parking lots, along Augusta Utilities Department September 2000 Design Standards & Construction Specifications 14-21 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ~~:c ~~ .~ OR roadway shoulders and other areas subject to traffic, the backfill shall be placed in 6 inch layers and each layer moistened and compacted to density at least equal to that of the surrounding earth so that traffic can be resumed immediately after backfilling is completed, Any trenches which are improperly backfilled, or where settlement occurs, shall be reopened to the depth required for proper compaction, then refilled and compacted with the surface restored to the required grade compaction. Along all portions of the trenches not located in roadways, the ground shall be graded to a reasonable uniformity and the mounding over the trenches left in a neat condition satisfactory to the Engineer. Sheeting not specified to be left in place shall be removed as the backfilling progresses. Sheeting shall be removed in such a manner as to avoid caving of the trench. Voids left by the removal of sheeting and shoring shall be carefully filled and compacted. Where, in the opinion of the Engineer, damage is liable to result from withdrawing sheeting, the sheeting will be ordered to be left in place, 14.32 BORING AND JACKING Where required by the drawings, the pipeline will be installed in a steel casing, placed by boring and jacking. Where boring is required under highways, the materials and workmanship will be in accordance with the standards of the Georgia Department of Transportation or local authority. Boring and jacking under railroads will be governed by the latest AR.E.A standards and those of the railroad involved. The steel casing shall be in accordance with ASTM A252 to the thicknesses shown on the drawings.
